About Parker, this seems to be more like making a silk purse from a sow's ear, to me. IMHO, he's still the underhanded, self-serving spendthrift. Elvis was a big hearted person since childhood who would give away whatever he had, even as poor as he was, and there was no Parker in his life. Parker was greedy (as shown by his "egress" signs) and vile (serving lemonade to unsuspecting people). Elvis would have made it, without Parker eventually, because Elvis was already skyrocketing on his way up before Parker injected himself into his and career.

❤ Elvis sold his catalog to pay Priscilla off. And she wants more

[sugarjoe]

I just finished the book, enjoyed it, would recommend it.

[d.s.d]

Tom Parker didn’t care about Elvis health only making that money, lol this interview is ridiculous and hilarious how they put Tom Parker on a pedestal up there lol lol, the man didn’t care for Elvis lol lol just that money and gambling

[TCB]

I wonder what's true now. Billy Stanley wrote in his new book Elvis wondered what would have happened if he would've listened to his mom. She didn't like the Colonel. Elvis said : Sometimes I feel like I sold my soul to the devil.
Elvis felt an obligation to him for getting his career started, even though he knew the Colonel was taking advantage of him.But Elvis was loyal to a fault and preferred to avoid conflict whenever possible. Elvis didn't have the heart to say no.

Maybe Billy is right and it's got nothing to do with love for the Colonel. 🤔

Trey this Podcast is great. I appreciate the honesty and fairness you have presented between Elvis and the his manager. Marshall has done an outstanding job. Thumbs up.

[stevemcgee]

Thanks for the share

Larry Geller wanted Elvis to go full on gossple back in 1965　and later in 77

I preordered that book a couple weeks ago...
Wow...what an interesting interview. Thanx Trey !!! TCB 😎⚡

[carolewainwright]

I have been an Elvis fan for over 53 years, it has made me see the Colonel in a different light. I will definitely buy the book. Great interview Trey.

[zucan]

This was a good discussion to listen too; I pride myself on keeping an open mind. I read, listen & watch everything I can Elvis to see things from different perspectives and sometimes I actually change my view. I'll have to listen to this interview again because I think I missed a couple of things.

[MrMikegrouse]

Great interview Trey. Once again you hit the nail on the head.

[roymarksberry]

❤ J d summers talks about elvis doing a gospel tour

[mykaregs]

I just bought your book in Amazon, just now, while i am listening— 10mins in your interview!! I’ll admit am not a big fan of The Colonel, I have a hard time warming up to him.. But as an Elvis Fan, i have all Books and Magazines written about The Colonel, Except this one — all of them i have yet to read. I was planning to read all books written about him last — to think i have close to 400 books on Elvis. My book collection on Elvis is my pride and joy!

I have read your Books with Sonny West and Barbara Leigh, both I loved and enjoyed so much! I am a fan of yours! looks like i’m gonna make an exception on this one and read it as soon as I get it tomorrow, coz i love how you write and your Books. I can’t wait to read it.

I remember in Sonny’s Book, that he said nice things about the Colonel. He mentions and recalls him fondly. He even thanks him in the last part of his Book that you guys wrote together. That was News and a First to me coz He is someone so hated by most elvis Fans. Sonny had really said nice things about the Colonel And he was Truly Fond of the Colonel. Now, this interview has stirred my curiosity!

I wish your book all the Success. Hoping i can have all the books, I own that you wrote signed one day. Sending you lots of good vibes and well wishes all the way from the Philippines. 🇵🇭 I visit the Usa every year. I Hope to bump in to you in a book signing event! Again, all the luck and success on this new book!

[jrose]

People still trying to make money off the life of Elvis. Everyone writing a book. Why does this man’s life have to make sense to me anyway? Let it Rest In Peace. Thank ya!

[gracieg]

I don’t know who this guy Greg is but the guy they are describing sound like the guy Ed balagia thst was Parker’s nephew, there were two of his young nephews that traveled with Parker all the time doing allot of stuff. I’ve read all those thivgs and also parker married the second wife which had been with him in Las Vegas and all the tours. She was the secretary. She tells a story about how she was his confidant and secretary and his lover. I’ve heard her say it and read what she said.

[ericfine]

Just ordered the book. Great video Trey! tcb ⚡️

[JudyKLC]

Thank you, Trey for bringing this new book to our attention. You reinforced what I always say...people on the outside don't know what went on inside. We all need to remember that they were just men...human...not the perfect image we created of them. As Elvis once said in an interview, "The image is one thing. The human being is another. It's very hard to live up to an image." I hope people will extend some mercy and grace to all those involved...and to their family members still living. I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We remember you, Elvis, and we love you...still. (Judy C.)

[gracieg]

Yes I heard about the gospel tour. JD Sumner said he and Elvis had a gospel tour planned. JD said he and his singers and the sweets were going to do a gospel tour. JD told someone Elvis was going to fire colonel parker then do the tour with them.
