QUOTE FROM ELVIS "Ive been lucky, and you know something? I just feel sometimes like its all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes & wake up and it will all be over. I hope not. I hope it never happens. I hope it never ends." By Elvis" Elvis The Music (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!) Organizations Search Shop Elvis Presley Trauma Center Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation St. Jude Children's Research Hospital “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” By Bruce Springsteen * More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell. (United Artists) * Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in undated (circa 1964-1965) photograph. She starred with Presley in 1964's 'Viva Las Vegas.' * Technical details during filming of 'Roustabout' are studied here by Elvis Presley at the camera and Chet Stafford, chief gaffer on the film, who spots the lighting. Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Elvis and Miss Stanwyck are shown in a cow pasture where the film company was on location. (UPI) * Elvis Presley in Stay Away, Joe. a 1968 comedy-drama western film with musical interludes set in modern times also starring Burgess Meredith and Joan Blondell. Elvis is the first king of rock and roll, If there ever is a second one, Elvis will still be the first. We all really miss him." Priscilla Lisa Marie Ann Margaret Joe Esposito Astrology & Spirituality DJ Fontana Bits & Pieces After the concert in Des Moines Iowa, June 23, Ronnie Tutt leaves the band for good. He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there! It is interesting to note that between 1960-1969 Elvis total was 6232 to the Beatles 5964 for the same period. TOTAL CHARTED SINGLES ELVIS = 149 Beatles = 69 TOTAL WEEKS AT #1 ELVIS = 80 Beatles = 59 Elvis had 42 top twenty hits, 3 more than the Beatles. Elvis released 31 singles between 1956-1963 making available 62 songs for possible chart action - he charted 67.7% of his released singles between 1956-1962 The Beatles released 41 singles between 1964-1970 they charted 47.5% of their released singles between 1964-1970. This does indicate that Elvis does top the Beatles in terms of chart activity when comparing their peak years. Overall chart single history - Elvis wins hands down with the following chart success since 1962 Elvis 1963-1986 = 26 top twenty singles Beatles 1971-1986 = 2 top twenty singles Elvis 1963-1986 = 8 Top Ten Beatles 1971-1986 = 1 Top Ten Elvis 1963-1986 = 1 number one Beatles 1971-1986 = 0 number one Elvis released 80 singles between 1963-1986 Beatles released 24 singles between 1971 - 1986 So between 1963-1986 Elvis charted 32.5% of his single releases and the Beatles charted 8% of theirs.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

QUOTE FROM ELVIS "Ive been lucky, and you know something? I just feel sometimes like its all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes & wake up and it will all be over. I hope not. I hope it never happens. I hope it never ends." By Elvis" Elvis The Music (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!)

There have been pretenders And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” By Bruce Springsteen * More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell.

Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif.

He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there! It is interesting to note that between 1960-1969 Elvis total was 6232 to the Beatles 5964 for the same period. TOTAL CHARTED SINGLES ELVIS = 149 Beatles = 69 TOTAL WEEKS AT #1 ELVIS = 80 Beatles = 59 Elvis had 42 top twenty hits, 3 more than the Beatles. Elvis released 31 singles between 1956-1963 making available 62 songs for possible chart action - he charted 67.7% of his released singles between 1956-1962 The Beatles released 41 singles between 1964-1970 they charted 47.5% of their released singles between 1964-1970. This does indicate that Elvis does top the Beatles in terms of chart activity when comparing their peak years. Overall chart single history - Elvis wins hands down with the following chart success since 1962 Elvis 1963-1986 = 26 top twenty singles Beatles 1971-1986 = 2 top twenty singles Elvis 1963-1986 = 8 Top Ten Beatles 1971-1986 = 1 Top Ten Elvis 1963-1986 = 1 number one Beatles 1971-1986 = 0 number one Elvis released 80 singles between 1963-1986 Beatles released 24 singles between 1971 - 1986 So between 1963-1986 Elvis charted 32.5% of his single releases and the Beatles charted 8% of theirs.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there!

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

QUOTE FROM ELVIS "Ive been lucky, and you know something? I just feel sometimes like its all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes & wake up and it will all be over. I hope not. I hope it never happens. I hope it never ends." By Elvis" Elvis The Music (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!) Organizations Search Shop Elvis Presley Trauma Center Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation St. Jude Children's Research Hospital “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” By Bruce Springsteen * More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell. (United Artists) * Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in undated (circa 1964-1965) photograph. She starred with Presley in 1964's 'Viva Las Vegas.' * Technical details during filming of 'Roustabout' are studied here by Elvis Presley at the camera and Chet Stafford, chief gaffer on the film, who spots the lighting. Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Elvis and Miss Stanwyck are shown in a cow pasture where the film company was on location. (UPI) * Elvis Presley in Stay Away, Joe. a 1968 comedy-drama western film with musical interludes set in modern times also starring Burgess Meredith and Joan Blondell.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

QUOTE FROM ELVIS "Ive been lucky, and you know something? I just feel sometimes like its all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes & wake up and it will all be over. I hope not. I hope it never happens. I hope it never ends." By Elvis" Elvis The Music (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!) Organizations Search Shop Elvis Presley Trauma Center Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation St. Jude Children's Research Hospital “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” By Bruce Springsteen * More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell. (United Artists) * Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in undated (circa 1964-1965) photograph. She starred with Presley in 1964's 'Viva Las Vegas.' * Technical details during filming of 'Roustabout' are studied here by Elvis Presley at the camera and Chet Stafford, chief gaffer on the film, who spots the lighting. Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Elvis and Miss Stanwyck are shown in a cow pasture where the film company was on location. (UPI) * Elvis Presley in Stay Away, Joe. a 1968 comedy-drama western film with musical interludes set in modern times also starring Burgess Meredith and Joan Blondell. Elvis is the first king of rock and roll, If there ever is a second one, Elvis will still be the first. We all really miss him." Priscilla Lisa Marie Ann Margaret Joe Esposito Astrology & Spirituality DJ Fontana Bits & Pieces After the concert in Des Moines Iowa, June 23, Ronnie Tutt leaves the band for good. He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there! It is interesting to note that between 1960-1969 Elvis total was 6232 to the Beatles 5964 for the same period. TOTAL CHARTED SINGLES ELVIS = 149 Beatles = 69 TOTAL WEEKS AT #1 ELVIS = 80 Beatles = 59 Elvis had 42 top twenty hits, 3 more than the Beatles. Elvis released 31 singles between 1956-1963 making available 62 songs for possible chart action - he charted 67.7% of his released singles between 1956-1962 The Beatles released 41 singles between 1964-1970 they charted 47.5% of their released singles between 1964-1970. This does indicate that Elvis does top the Beatles in terms of chart activity when comparing their peak years.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

QUOTE FROM ELVIS "Ive been lucky, and you know something? I just feel sometimes like its all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes & wake up and it will all be over. I hope not. I hope it never happens. I hope it never ends." By Elvis" Elvis The Music (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!) Organizations Search Shop Elvis Presley Trauma Center Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation St. Jude Children's Research Hospital “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” By Bruce Springsteen * More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell. (United Artists) * Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in undated (circa 1964-1965) photograph. She starred with Presley in 1964's 'Viva Las Vegas.' * Technical details during filming of 'Roustabout' are studied here by Elvis Presley at the camera and Chet Stafford, chief gaffer on the film, who spots the lighting. Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Elvis and Miss Stanwyck are shown in a cow pasture where the film company was on location. (UPI) * Elvis Presley in Stay Away, Joe. a 1968 comedy-drama western film with musical interludes set in modern times also starring Burgess Meredith and Joan Blondell. Elvis is the first king of rock and roll, If there ever is a second one, Elvis will still be the first. We all really miss him." Priscilla Lisa Marie Ann Margaret Joe Esposito Astrology & Spirituality DJ Fontana Bits & Pieces After the concert in Des Moines Iowa, June 23, Ronnie Tutt leaves the band for good. He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there! It is interesting to note that between 1960-1969 Elvis total was 6232 to the Beatles 5964 for the same period. TOTAL CHARTED SINGLES ELVIS = 149 Beatles = 69 TOTAL WEEKS AT #1 ELVIS = 80 Beatles = 59 Elvis had 42 top twenty hits, 3 more than the Beatles. Elvis released 31 singles between 1956-1963 making available 62 songs for possible chart action - he charted 67.7% of his released singles between 1956-1962 The Beatles released 41 singles between 1964-1970 they charted 47.5% of their released singles between 1964-1970. This does indicate that Elvis does top the Beatles in terms of chart activity when comparing their peak years.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

QUOTE FROM ELVIS "Ive been lucky, and you know something? I just feel sometimes like its all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes & wake up and it will all be over. I hope not. I hope it never happens. I hope it never ends." By Elvis" Elvis The Music (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!) Organizations Search Shop Elvis Presley Trauma Center Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation St. Jude Children's Research Hospital “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” By Bruce Springsteen * More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell. (United Artists) * Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in undated (circa 1964-1965) photograph. She starred with Presley in 1964's 'Viva Las Vegas.' * Technical details during filming of 'Roustabout' are studied here by Elvis Presley at the camera and Chet Stafford, chief gaffer on the film, who spots the lighting. Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Elvis and Miss Stanwyck are shown in a cow pasture where the film company was on location. (UPI) * Elvis Presley in Stay Away, Joe. a 1968 comedy-drama western film with musical interludes set in modern times also starring Burgess Meredith and Joan Blondell. Elvis is the first king of rock and roll, If there ever is a second one, Elvis will still be the first. We all really miss him." Priscilla Lisa Marie Ann Margaret Joe Esposito Astrology & Spirituality DJ Fontana Bits & Pieces After the concert in Des Moines Iowa, June 23, Ronnie Tutt leaves the band for good. He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there! It is interesting to note that between 1960-1969 Elvis total was 6232 to the Beatles 5964 for the same period. TOTAL CHARTED SINGLES ELVIS = 149 Beatles = 69 TOTAL WEEKS AT #1 ELVIS = 80 Beatles = 59 Elvis had 42 top twenty hits, 3 more than the Beatles. Elvis released 31 singles between 1956-1963 making available 62 songs for possible chart action - he charted 67.7% of his released singles between 1956-1962 The Beatles released 41 singles between 1964-1970 they charted 47.5% of their released singles between 1964-1970. This does indicate that Elvis does top the Beatles in terms of chart activity when comparing their peak years.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

QUOTE FROM ELVIS "Ive been lucky, and you know something? I just feel sometimes like its all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes & wake up and it will all be over. I hope not. I hope it never happens. I hope it never ends." By Elvis" Elvis The Music (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!) Organizations Search Shop Elvis Presley Trauma Center Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation St. Jude Children's Research Hospital “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” By Bruce Springsteen * More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell. (United Artists) * Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in undated (circa 1964-1965) photograph. She starred with Presley in 1964's 'Viva Las Vegas.' * Technical details during filming of 'Roustabout' are studied here by Elvis Presley at the camera and Chet Stafford, chief gaffer on the film, who spots the lighting. Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Elvis and Miss Stanwyck are shown in a cow pasture where the film company was on location. (UPI) * Elvis Presley in Stay Away, Joe. a 1968 comedy-drama western film with musical interludes set in modern times also starring Burgess Meredith and Joan Blondell. Elvis is the first king of rock and roll, If there ever is a second one, Elvis will still be the first. We all really miss him." Priscilla Lisa Marie Ann Margaret Joe Esposito Astrology & Spirituality DJ Fontana Bits & Pieces After the concert in Des Moines Iowa, June 23, Ronnie Tutt leaves the band for good. He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there! It is interesting to note that between 1960-1969 Elvis total was 6232 to the Beatles 5964 for the same period. TOTAL CHARTED SINGLES ELVIS = 149 Beatles = 69 TOTAL WEEKS AT #1 ELVIS = 80 Beatles = 59 Elvis had 42 top twenty hits, 3 more than the Beatles. Elvis released 31 singles between 1956-1963 making available 62 songs for possible chart action - he charted 67.7% of his released singles between 1956-1962 The Beatles released 41 singles between 1964-1970 they charted 47.5% of their released singles between 1964-1970. This does indicate that Elvis does top the Beatles in terms of chart activity when comparing their peak years.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

QUOTE FROM ELVIS "Ive been lucky, and you know something? I just feel sometimes like its all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes & wake up and it will all be over. I hope not. I hope it never happens. I hope it never ends." By Elvis" Elvis The Music (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!) Organizations Search Shop Elvis Presley Trauma Center Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation St. Jude Children's Research Hospital “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” By Bruce Springsteen * More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell. (United Artists) * Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in undated (circa 1964-1965) photograph. She starred with Presley in 1964's 'Viva Las Vegas.' * Technical details during filming of 'Roustabout' are studied here by Elvis Presley at the camera and Chet Stafford, chief gaffer on the film, who spots the lighting. Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Elvis and Miss Stanwyck are shown in a cow pasture where the film company was on location. (UPI) * Elvis Presley in Stay Away, Joe. a 1968 comedy-drama western film with musical interludes set in modern times also starring Burgess Meredith and Joan Blondell. Elvis is the first king of rock and roll, If there ever is a second one, Elvis will still be the first. We all really miss him." Priscilla Lisa Marie Ann Margaret Joe Esposito Astrology & Spirituality DJ Fontana Bits & Pieces After the concert in Des Moines Iowa, June 23, Ronnie Tutt leaves the band for good. He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there! It is interesting to note that between 1960-1969 Elvis total was 6232 to the Beatles 5964 for the same period. TOTAL CHARTED SINGLES ELVIS = 149 Beatles = 69 TOTAL WEEKS AT #1 ELVIS = 80 Beatles = 59 Elvis had 42 top twenty hits, 3 more than the Beatles. Elvis released 31 singles between 1956-1963 making available 62 songs for possible chart action - he charted 67.7% of his released singles between 1956-1962 The Beatles released 41 singles between 1964-1970 they charted 47.5% of their released singles between 1964-1970. This does indicate that Elvis does top the Beatles in terms of chart activity when comparing their peak years.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

QUOTE FROM ELVIS "Ive been lucky, and you know something? I just feel sometimes like its all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes & wake up and it will all be over. I hope not. I hope it never happens. I hope it never ends." By Elvis" Elvis The Music (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!) Organizations Search Shop Elvis Presley Trauma Center Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation St. Jude Children's Research Hospital “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” By Bruce Springsteen * More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell. (United Artists) * Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in undated (circa 1964-1965) photograph. She starred with Presley in 1964's 'Viva Las Vegas.' * Technical details during filming of 'Roustabout' are studied here by Elvis Presley at the camera and Chet Stafford, chief gaffer on the film, who spots the lighting. Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Elvis and Miss Stanwyck are shown in a cow pasture where the film company was on location. (UPI) * Elvis Presley in Stay Away, Joe. a 1968 comedy-drama western film with musical interludes set in modern times also starring Burgess Meredith and Joan Blondell. Elvis is the first king of rock and roll, If there ever is a second one, Elvis will still be the first. We all really miss him." Priscilla Lisa Marie Ann Margaret Joe Esposito Astrology & Spirituality DJ Fontana Bits & Pieces After the concert in Des Moines Iowa, June 23, Ronnie Tutt leaves the band for good. He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there! It is interesting to note that between 1960-1969 Elvis total was 6232 to the Beatles 5964 for the same period. TOTAL CHARTED SINGLES ELVIS = 149 Beatles = 69 TOTAL WEEKS AT #1 ELVIS = 80 Beatles = 59 Elvis had 42 top twenty hits, 3 more than the Beatles. Elvis released 31 singles between 1956-1963 making available 62 songs for possible chart action - he charted 67.7% of his released singles between 1956-1962 The Beatles released 41 singles between 1964-1970 they charted 47.5% of their released singles between 1964-1970. This does indicate that Elvis does top the Beatles in terms of chart activity when comparing their peak years.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

QUOTE FROM ELVIS "Ive been lucky, and you know something? I just feel sometimes like its all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes & wake up and it will all be over. I hope not. I hope it never happens. I hope it never ends." By Elvis" Elvis The Music (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!) Organizations Search Shop Elvis Presley Trauma Center Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation St. Jude Children's Research Hospital “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” By Bruce Springsteen * More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell. (United Artists) * Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in undated (circa 1964-1965) photograph. She starred with Presley in 1964's 'Viva Las Vegas.' * Technical details during filming of 'Roustabout' are studied here by Elvis Presley at the camera and Chet Stafford, chief gaffer on the film, who spots the lighting. Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Elvis and Miss Stanwyck are shown in a cow pasture where the film company was on location. (UPI) * Elvis Presley in Stay Away, Joe. a 1968 comedy-drama western film with musical interludes set in modern times also starring Burgess Meredith and Joan Blondell. Elvis is the first king of rock and roll, If there ever is a second one, Elvis will still be the first. We all really miss him." Priscilla Lisa Marie Ann Margaret Joe Esposito Astrology & Spirituality DJ Fontana Bits & Pieces After the concert in Des Moines Iowa, June 23, Ronnie Tutt leaves the band for good. He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there! It is interesting to note that between 1960-1969 Elvis total was 6232 to the Beatles 5964 for the same period. TOTAL CHARTED SINGLES ELVIS = 149 Beatles = 69 TOTAL WEEKS AT #1 ELVIS = 80 Beatles = 59 Elvis had 42 top twenty hits, 3 more than the Beatles. Elvis released 31 singles between 1956-1963 making available 62 songs for possible chart action - he charted 67.7% of his released singles between 1956-1962 The Beatles released 41 singles between 1964-1970 they charted 47.5% of their released singles between 1964-1970. This does indicate that Elvis does top the Beatles in terms of chart activity when comparing their peak years.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

QUOTE FROM ELVIS "Ive been lucky, and you know something? I just feel sometimes like its all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes & wake up and it will all be over. I hope not. I hope it never happens. I hope it never ends." By Elvis" Elvis The Music (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!) Organizations Search Shop Elvis Presley Trauma Center Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation St. Jude Children's Research Hospital “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” By Bruce Springsteen * More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell. (United Artists) * Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in undated (circa 1964-1965) photograph. She starred with Presley in 1964's 'Viva Las Vegas.' * Technical details during filming of 'Roustabout' are studied here by Elvis Presley at the camera and Chet Stafford, chief gaffer on the film, who spots the lighting. Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Elvis and Miss Stanwyck are shown in a cow pasture where the film company was on location. (UPI) * Elvis Presley in Stay Away, Joe. a 1968 comedy-drama western film with musical interludes set in modern times also starring Burgess Meredith and Joan Blondell. Elvis is the first king of rock and roll, If there ever is a second one, Elvis will still be the first. We all really miss him." Priscilla Lisa Marie Ann Margaret Joe Esposito Astrology & Spirituality DJ Fontana Bits & Pieces After the concert in Des Moines Iowa, June 23, Ronnie Tutt leaves the band for good. He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there! It is interesting to note that between 1960-1969 Elvis total was 6232 to the Beatles 5964 for the same period. TOTAL CHARTED SINGLES ELVIS = 149 Beatles = 69 TOTAL WEEKS AT #1 ELVIS = 80 Beatles = 59 Elvis had 42 top twenty hits, 3 more than the Beatles. Elvis released 31 singles between 1956-1963 making available 62 songs for possible chart action - he charted 67.7% of his released singles between 1956-1962 The Beatles released 41 singles between 1964-1970 they charted 47.5% of their released singles between 1964-1970. This does indicate that Elvis does top the Beatles in terms of chart activity when comparing their peak years.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

QUOTE FROM ELVIS "Ive been lucky, and you know something? I just feel sometimes like its all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes & wake up and it will all be over. I hope not. I hope it never happens. I hope it never ends." By Elvis" Elvis The Music (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!) Organizations Search Shop Elvis Presley Trauma Center Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation St. Jude Children's Research Hospital “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” By Bruce Springsteen * More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell. (United Artists) * Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in undated (circa 1964-1965) photograph. She starred with Presley in 1964's 'Viva Las Vegas.' * Technical details during filming of 'Roustabout' are studied here by Elvis Presley at the camera and Chet Stafford, chief gaffer on the film, who spots the lighting. Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Elvis and Miss Stanwyck are shown in a cow pasture where the film company was on location. (UPI) * Elvis Presley in Stay Away, Joe. a 1968 comedy-drama western film with musical interludes set in modern times also starring Burgess Meredith and Joan Blondell. Elvis is the first king of rock and roll, If there ever is a second one, Elvis will still be the first. We all really miss him." Priscilla Lisa Marie Ann Margaret Joe Esposito Astrology & Spirituality DJ Fontana Bits & Pieces After the concert in Des Moines Iowa, June 23, Ronnie Tutt leaves the band for good. He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there! It is interesting to note that between 1960-1969 Elvis total was 6232 to the Beatles 5964 for the same period. TOTAL CHARTED SINGLES ELVIS = 149 Beatles = 69 TOTAL WEEKS AT #1 ELVIS = 80 Beatles = 59 Elvis had 42 top twenty hits, 3 more than the Beatles. Elvis released 31 singles between 1956-1963 making available 62 songs for possible chart action - he charted 67.7% of his released singles between 1956-1962 The Beatles released 41 singles between 1964-1970 they charted 47.5% of their released singles between 1964-1970. This does indicate that Elvis does top the Beatles in terms of chart activity when comparing their peak years.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

QUOTE FROM ELVIS "Ive been lucky, and you know something? I just feel sometimes like its all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes & wake up and it will all be over. I hope not. I hope it never happens. I hope it never ends." By Elvis" Elvis The Music (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!) Organizations Search Shop Elvis Presley Trauma Center Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation St. Jude Children's Research Hospital “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” By Bruce Springsteen * More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell. (United Artists) * Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in undated (circa 1964-1965) photograph. She starred with Presley in 1964's 'Viva Las Vegas.' * Technical details during filming of 'Roustabout' are studied here by Elvis Presley at the camera and Chet Stafford, chief gaffer on the film, who spots the lighting. Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Elvis and Miss Stanwyck are shown in a cow pasture where the film company was on location. (UPI) * Elvis Presley in Stay Away, Joe. a 1968 comedy-drama western film with musical interludes set in modern times also starring Burgess Meredith and Joan Blondell. Elvis is the first king of rock and roll, If there ever is a second one, Elvis will still be the first. We all really miss him." Priscilla Lisa Marie Ann Margaret Joe Esposito Astrology & Spirituality DJ Fontana Bits & Pieces After the concert in Des Moines Iowa, June 23, Ronnie Tutt leaves the band for good. He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there! It is interesting to note that between 1960-1969 Elvis total was 6232 to the Beatles 5964 for the same period. TOTAL CHARTED SINGLES ELVIS = 149 Beatles = 69 TOTAL WEEKS AT #1 ELVIS = 80 Beatles = 59 Elvis had 42 top twenty hits, 3 more than the Beatles. Elvis released 31 singles between 1956-1963 making available 62 songs for possible chart action - he charted 67.7% of his released singles between 1956-1962 The Beatles released 41 singles between 1964-1970 they charted 47.5% of their released singles between 1964-1970. This does indicate that Elvis does top the Beatles in terms of chart activity when comparing their peak years.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

QUOTE FROM ELVIS "Ive been lucky, and you know something? I just feel sometimes like its all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes & wake up and it will all be over. I hope not. I hope it never happens. I hope it never ends." By Elvis" Elvis The Music (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!) Organizations Search Shop Elvis Presley Trauma Center Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation St. Jude Children's Research Hospital “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” By Bruce Springsteen * More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell. (United Artists) * Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in undated (circa 1964-1965) photograph. She starred with Presley in 1964's 'Viva Las Vegas.' * Technical details during filming of 'Roustabout' are studied here by Elvis Presley at the camera and Chet Stafford, chief gaffer on the film, who spots the lighting. Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Elvis and Miss Stanwyck are shown in a cow pasture where the film company was on location. (UPI) * Elvis Presley in Stay Away, Joe. a 1968 comedy-drama western film with musical interludes set in modern times also starring Burgess Meredith and Joan Blondell. Elvis is the first king of rock and roll, If there ever is a second one, Elvis will still be the first. We all really miss him." Priscilla Lisa Marie Ann Margaret Joe Esposito Astrology & Spirituality DJ Fontana Bits & Pieces After the concert in Des Moines Iowa, June 23, Ronnie Tutt leaves the band for good. He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there! It is interesting to note that between 1960-1969 Elvis total was 6232 to the Beatles 5964 for the same period. TOTAL CHARTED SINGLES ELVIS = 149 Beatles = 69 TOTAL WEEKS AT #1 ELVIS = 80 Beatles = 59 Elvis had 42 top twenty hits, 3 more than the Beatles. Elvis released 31 singles between 1956-1963 making available 62 songs for possible chart action - he charted 67.7% of his released singles between 1956-1962 The Beatles released 41 singles between 1964-1970 they charted 47.5% of their released singles between 1964-1970. This does indicate that Elvis does top the Beatles in terms of chart activity when comparing their peak years.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

QUOTE FROM ELVIS "Ive been lucky, and you know something? I just feel sometimes like its all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes & wake up and it will all be over. I hope not. I hope it never happens. I hope it never ends." By Elvis" Elvis The Music (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!) Organizations Search Shop Elvis Presley Trauma Center Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation St. Jude Children's Research Hospital “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” By Bruce Springsteen * More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell. (United Artists) * Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in undated (circa 1964-1965) photograph. She starred with Presley in 1964's 'Viva Las Vegas.' * Technical details during filming of 'Roustabout' are studied here by Elvis Presley at the camera and Chet Stafford, chief gaffer on the film, who spots the lighting. Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Elvis and Miss Stanwyck are shown in a cow pasture where the film company was on location. (UPI) * Elvis Presley in Stay Away, Joe. a 1968 comedy-drama western film with musical interludes set in modern times also starring Burgess Meredith and Joan Blondell. Elvis is the first king of rock and roll, If there ever is a second one, Elvis will still be the first. We all really miss him." Priscilla Lisa Marie Ann Margaret Joe Esposito Astrology & Spirituality DJ Fontana Bits & Pieces After the concert in Des Moines Iowa, June 23, Ronnie Tutt leaves the band for good. He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there! It is interesting to note that between 1960-1969 Elvis total was 6232 to the Beatles 5964 for the same period. TOTAL CHARTED SINGLES ELVIS = 149 Beatles = 69 TOTAL WEEKS AT #1 ELVIS = 80 Beatles = 59 Elvis had 42 top twenty hits, 3 more than the Beatles. Elvis released 31 singles between 1956-1963 making available 62 songs for possible chart action - he charted 67.7% of his released singles between 1956-1962 The Beatles released 41 singles between 1964-1970 they charted 47.5% of their released singles between 1964-1970. This does indicate that Elvis does top the Beatles in terms of chart activity when comparing their peak years.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

QUOTE FROM ELVIS "Ive been lucky, and you know something? I just feel sometimes like its all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes & wake up and it will all be over. I hope not. I hope it never happens. I hope it never ends." By Elvis" Elvis The Music (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!) Organizations Search Shop Elvis Presley Trauma Center Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation St. Jude Children's Research Hospital “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” By Bruce Springsteen * More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell. (United Artists) * Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in undated (circa 1964-1965) photograph. She starred with Presley in 1964's 'Viva Las Vegas.' * Technical details during filming of 'Roustabout' are studied here by Elvis Presley at the camera and Chet Stafford, chief gaffer on the film, who spots the lighting. Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Elvis and Miss Stanwyck are shown in a cow pasture where the film company was on location. (UPI) * Elvis Presley in Stay Away, Joe. a 1968 comedy-drama western film with musical interludes set in modern times also starring Burgess Meredith and Joan Blondell. Elvis is the first king of rock and roll, If there ever is a second one, Elvis will still be the first. We all really miss him." Priscilla Lisa Marie Ann Margaret Joe Esposito Astrology & Spirituality DJ Fontana Bits & Pieces After the concert in Des Moines Iowa, June 23, Ronnie Tutt leaves the band for good. He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there! It is interesting to note that between 1960-1969 Elvis total was 6232 to the Beatles 5964 for the same period. TOTAL CHARTED SINGLES ELVIS = 149 Beatles = 69 TOTAL WEEKS AT #1 ELVIS = 80 Beatles = 59 Elvis had 42 top twenty hits, 3 more than the Beatles. Elvis released 31 singles between 1956-1963 making available 62 songs for possible chart action - he charted 67.7% of his released singles between 1956-1962 The Beatles released 41 singles between 1964-1970 they charted 47.5% of their released singles between 1964-1970. This does indicate that Elvis does top the Beatles in terms of chart activity when comparing their peak years.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

QUOTE FROM ELVIS "Ive been lucky, and you know something? I just feel sometimes like its all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes & wake up and it will all be over. I hope not. I hope it never happens. I hope it never ends." By Elvis" Elvis The Music (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!) Organizations Search Shop Elvis Presley Trauma Center Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation St. Jude Children's Research Hospital “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” By Bruce Springsteen * More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell. (United Artists) * Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in undated (circa 1964-1965) photograph. She starred with Presley in 1964's 'Viva Las Vegas.' * Technical details during filming of 'Roustabout' are studied here by Elvis Presley at the camera and Chet Stafford, chief gaffer on the film, who spots the lighting. Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Elvis and Miss Stanwyck are shown in a cow pasture where the film company was on location. (UPI) * Elvis Presley in Stay Away, Joe. a 1968 comedy-drama western film with musical interludes set in modern times also starring Burgess Meredith and Joan Blondell. Elvis is the first king of rock and roll, If there ever is a second one, Elvis will still be the first. We all really miss him." Priscilla Lisa Marie Ann Margaret Joe Esposito Astrology & Spirituality DJ Fontana Bits & Pieces After the concert in Des Moines Iowa, June 23, Ronnie Tutt leaves the band for good. He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there! It is interesting to note that between 1960-1969 Elvis total was 6232 to the Beatles 5964 for the same period. TOTAL CHARTED SINGLES ELVIS = 149 Beatles = 69 TOTAL WEEKS AT #1 ELVIS = 80 Beatles = 59 Elvis had 42 top twenty hits, 3 more than the Beatles. Elvis released 31 singles between 1956-1963 making available 62 songs for possible chart action - he charted 67.7% of his released singles between 1956-1962 The Beatles released 41 singles between 1964-1970 they charted 47.5% of their released singles between 1964-1970. This does indicate that Elvis does top the Beatles in terms of chart activity when comparing their peak years.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

QUOTE FROM ELVIS "Ive been lucky, and you know something? I just feel sometimes like its all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes & wake up and it will all be over. I hope not. I hope it never happens. I hope it never ends." By Elvis" Elvis The Music (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!) Organizations Search Shop Elvis Presley Trauma Center Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation St. Jude Children's Research Hospital “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” By Bruce Springsteen * More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell. (United Artists) * Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in undated (circa 1964-1965) photograph. She starred with Presley in 1964's 'Viva Las Vegas.' * Technical details during filming of 'Roustabout' are studied here by Elvis Presley at the camera and Chet Stafford, chief gaffer on the film, who spots the lighting. Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Elvis and Miss Stanwyck are shown in a cow pasture where the film company was on location. (UPI) * Elvis Presley in Stay Away, Joe. a 1968 comedy-drama western film with musical interludes set in modern times also starring Burgess Meredith and Joan Blondell. Elvis is the first king of rock and roll, If there ever is a second one, Elvis will still be the first. We all really miss him." Priscilla Lisa Marie Ann Margaret Joe Esposito Astrology & Spirituality DJ Fontana Bits & Pieces After the concert in Des Moines Iowa, June 23, Ronnie Tutt leaves the band for good. He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there! It is interesting to note that between 1960-1969 Elvis total was 6232 to the Beatles 5964 for the same period. TOTAL CHARTED SINGLES ELVIS = 149 Beatles = 69 TOTAL WEEKS AT #1 ELVIS = 80 Beatles = 59 Elvis had 42 top twenty hits, 3 more than the Beatles. Elvis released 31 singles between 1956-1963 making available 62 songs for possible chart action - he charted 67.7% of his released singles between 1956-1962 The Beatles released 41 singles between 1964-1970 they charted 47.5% of their released singles between 1964-1970. This does indicate that Elvis does top the Beatles in terms of chart activity when comparing their peak years.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

QUOTE FROM ELVIS "Ive been lucky, and you know something? I just feel sometimes like its all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes & wake up and it will all be over. I hope not. I hope it never happens. I hope it never ends." By Elvis" Elvis The Music (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!) Organizations Search Shop Elvis Presley Trauma Center Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation St. Jude Children's Research Hospital “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” By Bruce Springsteen * More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell. (United Artists) * Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in undated (circa 1964-1965) photograph. She starred with Presley in 1964's 'Viva Las Vegas.' * Technical details during filming of 'Roustabout' are studied here by Elvis Presley at the camera and Chet Stafford, chief gaffer on the film, who spots the lighting. Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Elvis and Miss Stanwyck are shown in a cow pasture where the film company was on location. (UPI) * Elvis Presley in Stay Away, Joe. a 1968 comedy-drama western film with musical interludes set in modern times also starring Burgess Meredith and Joan Blondell. Elvis is the first king of rock and roll, If there ever is a second one, Elvis will still be the first. We all really miss him." Priscilla Lisa Marie Ann Margaret Joe Esposito Astrology & Spirituality DJ Fontana Bits & Pieces After the concert in Des Moines Iowa, June 23, Ronnie Tutt leaves the band for good. He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there! It is interesting to note that between 1960-1969 Elvis total was 6232 to the Beatles 5964 for the same period. TOTAL CHARTED SINGLES ELVIS = 149 Beatles = 69 TOTAL WEEKS AT #1 ELVIS = 80 Beatles = 59 Elvis had 42 top twenty hits, 3 more than the Beatles. Elvis released 31 singles between 1956-1963 making available 62 songs for possible chart action - he charted 67.7% of his released singles between 1956-1962 The Beatles released 41 singles between 1964-1970 they charted 47.5% of their released singles between 1964-1970. This does indicate that Elvis does top the Beatles in terms of chart activity when comparing their peak years. Overall chart single history - Elvis wins hands down with the following chart success since 1962 Elvis 1963-1986 = 26 top twenty singles Beatles 1971-1986 = 2 top twenty singles Elvis 1963-1986 = 8 Top Ten Beatles 1971-1986 = 1 Top Ten Elvis 1963-1986 = 1 number one Beatles 1971-1986 = 0 number one Elvis released 80 singles between 1963-1986 Beatles released 24 singles between 1971 - 1986 So between 1963-1986 Elvis charted 32.5% of his single releases and the Beatles charted 8% of theirs.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

QUOTE FROM ELVIS "Ive been lucky, and you know something? I just feel sometimes like its all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes & wake up and it will all be over. I hope not. I hope it never happens. I hope it never ends." By Elvis" Elvis The Music (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!) Organizations Search Shop Elvis Presley Trauma Center Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation St. Jude Children's Research Hospital “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” By Bruce Springsteen * More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell. (United Artists) * Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in undated (circa 1964-1965) photograph. She starred with Presley in 1964's 'Viva Las Vegas.' * Technical details during filming of 'Roustabout' are studied here by Elvis Presley at the camera and Chet Stafford, chief gaffer on the film, who spots the lighting. Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Elvis and Miss Stanwyck are shown in a cow pasture where the film company was on location. (UPI) * Elvis Presley in Stay Away, Joe. a 1968 comedy-drama western film with musical interludes set in modern times also starring Burgess Meredith and Joan Blondell. Elvis is the first king of rock and roll, If there ever is a second one, Elvis will still be the first. We all really miss him." Priscilla Lisa Marie Ann Margaret Joe Esposito Astrology & Spirituality DJ Fontana Bits & Pieces After the concert in Des Moines Iowa, June 23, Ronnie Tutt leaves the band for good. He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there! It is interesting to note that between 1960-1969 Elvis total was 6232 to the Beatles 5964 for the same period. TOTAL CHARTED SINGLES ELVIS = 149 Beatles = 69 TOTAL WEEKS AT #1 ELVIS = 80 Beatles = 59 Elvis had 42 top twenty hits, 3 more than the Beatles. Elvis released 31 singles between 1956-1963 making available 62 songs for possible chart action - he charted 67.7% of his released singles between 1956-1962 The Beatles released 41 singles between 1964-1970 they charted 47.5% of their released singles between 1964-1970. This does indicate that Elvis does top the Beatles in terms of chart activity when comparing their peak years. Overall chart single history - Elvis wins hands down with the following chart success since 1962 Elvis 1963-1986 = 26 top twenty singles Beatles 1971-1986 = 2 top twenty singles Elvis 1963-1986 = 8 Top Ten Beatles 1971-1986 = 1 Top Ten Elvis 1963-1986 = 1 number one Beatles 1971-1986 = 0 number one Elvis released 80 singles between 1963-1986 Beatles released 24 singles between 1971 - 1986 So between 1963-1986 Elvis charted 32.5% of his single releases and the Beatles charted 8% of theirs.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

QUOTE FROM ELVIS "Ive been lucky, and you know something? I just feel sometimes like its all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes & wake up and it will all be over. I hope not. I hope it never happens. I hope it never ends." By Elvis" Elvis The Music (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!) Organizations Search Shop Elvis Presley Trauma Center Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation St. Jude Children's Research Hospital “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” By Bruce Springsteen * More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell. (United Artists) * Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in undated (circa 1964-1965) photograph. She starred with Presley in 1964's 'Viva Las Vegas.' * Technical details during filming of 'Roustabout' are studied here by Elvis Presley at the camera and Chet Stafford, chief gaffer on the film, who spots the lighting. Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Elvis and Miss Stanwyck are shown in a cow pasture where the film company was on location. (UPI) * Elvis Presley in Stay Away, Joe. a 1968 comedy-drama western film with musical interludes set in modern times also starring Burgess Meredith and Joan Blondell. Elvis is the first king of rock and roll, If there ever is a second one, Elvis will still be the first. We all really miss him." Priscilla Lisa Marie Ann Margaret Joe Esposito Astrology & Spirituality DJ Fontana Bits & Pieces After the concert in Des Moines Iowa, June 23, Ronnie Tutt leaves the band for good. He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there! It is interesting to note that between 1960-1969 Elvis total was 6232 to the Beatles 5964 for the same period. TOTAL CHARTED SINGLES ELVIS = 149 Beatles = 69 TOTAL WEEKS AT #1 ELVIS = 80 Beatles = 59 Elvis had 42 top twenty hits, 3 more than the Beatles. Elvis released 31 singles between 1956-1963 making available 62 songs for possible chart action - he charted 67.7% of his released singles between 1956-1962 The Beatles released 41 singles between 1964-1970 they charted 47.5% of their released singles between 1964-1970. This does indicate that Elvis does top the Beatles in terms of chart activity when comparing their peak years. Overall chart single history - Elvis wins hands down with the following chart success since 1962 Elvis 1963-1986 = 26 top twenty singles Beatles 1971-1986 = 2 top twenty singles Elvis 1963-1986 = 8 Top Ten Beatles 1971-1986 = 1 Top Ten Elvis 1963-1986 = 1 number one Beatles 1971-1986 = 0 number one Elvis released 80 singles between 1963-1986 Beatles released 24 singles between 1971 - 1986 So between 1963-1986 Elvis charted 32.5% of his single releases and the Beatles charted 8% of theirs.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

QUOTE FROM ELVIS "Ive been lucky, and you know something? I just feel sometimes like its all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes & wake up and it will all be over. I hope not. I hope it never happens. I hope it never ends." By Elvis" Elvis The Music (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!) Organizations Search Shop Elvis Presley Trauma Center Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation St. Jude Children's Research Hospital “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” By Bruce Springsteen * More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell. (United Artists) * Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in undated (circa 1964-1965) photograph. She starred with Presley in 1964's 'Viva Las Vegas.' * Technical details during filming of 'Roustabout' are studied here by Elvis Presley at the camera and Chet Stafford, chief gaffer on the film, who spots the lighting. Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Elvis and Miss Stanwyck are shown in a cow pasture where the film company was on location. (UPI) * Elvis Presley in Stay Away, Joe. a 1968 comedy-drama western film with musical interludes set in modern times also starring Burgess Meredith and Joan Blondell. Elvis is the first king of rock and roll, If there ever is a second one, Elvis will still be the first. We all really miss him." Priscilla Lisa Marie Ann Margaret Joe Esposito Astrology & Spirituality DJ Fontana Bits & Pieces After the concert in Des Moines Iowa, June 23, Ronnie Tutt leaves the band for good. He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there! It is interesting to note that between 1960-1969 Elvis total was 6232 to the Beatles 5964 for the same period. TOTAL CHARTED SINGLES ELVIS = 149 Beatles = 69 TOTAL WEEKS AT #1 ELVIS = 80 Beatles = 59 Elvis had 42 top twenty hits, 3 more than the Beatles. Elvis released 31 singles between 1956-1963 making available 62 songs for possible chart action - he charted 67.7% of his released singles between 1956-1962 The Beatles released 41 singles between 1964-1970 they charted 47.5% of their released singles between 1964-1970. This does indicate that Elvis does top the Beatles in terms of chart activity when comparing their peak years. Overall chart single history - Elvis wins hands down with the following chart success since 1962 Elvis 1963-1986 = 26 top twenty singles Beatles 1971-1986 = 2 top twenty singles Elvis 1963-1986 = 8 Top Ten Beatles 1971-1986 = 1 Top Ten Elvis 1963-1986 = 1 number one Beatles 1971-1986 = 0 number one Elvis released 80 singles between 1963-1986 Beatles released 24 singles between 1971 - 1986 So between 1963-1986 Elvis charted 32.5% of his single releases and the Beatles charted 8% of theirs.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

QUOTE FROM ELVIS "Ive been lucky, and you know something? I just feel sometimes like its all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes & wake up and it will all be over. I hope not. I hope it never happens. I hope it never ends." By Elvis" Elvis The Music (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!) Organizations Search Shop Elvis Presley Trauma Center Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation St. Jude Children's Research Hospital “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” By Bruce Springsteen * More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell. (United Artists) * Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in undated (circa 1964-1965) photograph. She starred with Presley in 1964's 'Viva Las Vegas.' * Technical details during filming of 'Roustabout' are studied here by Elvis Presley at the camera and Chet Stafford, chief gaffer on the film, who spots the lighting. Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Elvis and Miss Stanwyck are shown in a cow pasture where the film company was on location. (UPI) * Elvis Presley in Stay Away, Joe. a 1968 comedy-drama western film with musical interludes set in modern times also starring Burgess Meredith and Joan Blondell. Elvis is the first king of rock and roll, If there ever is a second one, Elvis will still be the first. We all really miss him." Priscilla Lisa Marie Ann Margaret Joe Esposito Astrology & Spirituality DJ Fontana Bits & Pieces After the concert in Des Moines Iowa, June 23, Ronnie Tutt leaves the band for good. He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there! It is interesting to note that between 1960-1969 Elvis total was 6232 to the Beatles 5964 for the same period. TOTAL CHARTED SINGLES ELVIS = 149 Beatles = 69 TOTAL WEEKS AT #1 ELVIS = 80 Beatles = 59 Elvis had 42 top twenty hits, 3 more than the Beatles. Elvis released 31 singles between 1956-1963 making available 62 songs for possible chart action - he charted 67.7% of his released singles between 1956-1962 The Beatles released 41 singles between 1964-1970 they charted 47.5% of their released singles between 1964-1970. This does indicate that Elvis does top the Beatles in terms of chart activity when comparing their peak years. Overall chart single history - Elvis wins hands down with the following chart success since 1962 Elvis 1963-1986 = 26 top twenty singles Beatles 1971-1986 = 2 top twenty singles Elvis 1963-1986 = 8 Top Ten Beatles 1971-1986 = 1 Top Ten Elvis 1963-1986 = 1 number one Beatles 1971-1986 = 0 number one Elvis released 80 singles between 1963-1986 Beatles released 24 singles between 1971 - 1986 So between 1963-1986 Elvis charted 32.5% of his single releases and the Beatles charted 8% of theirs.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

QUOTE FROM ELVIS "Ive been lucky, and you know something? I just feel sometimes like its all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes & wake up and it will all be over. I hope not. I hope it never happens. I hope it never ends." By Elvis" Elvis The Music (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!) Organizations Search Shop Elvis Presley Trauma Center Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation St. Jude Children's Research Hospital “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” By Bruce Springsteen * More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell. (United Artists) * Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in undated (circa 1964-1965) photograph. She starred with Presley in 1964's 'Viva Las Vegas.' * Technical details during filming of 'Roustabout' are studied here by Elvis Presley at the camera and Chet Stafford, chief gaffer on the film, who spots the lighting. Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Elvis and Miss Stanwyck are shown in a cow pasture where the film company was on location. (UPI) * Elvis Presley in Stay Away, Joe. a 1968 comedy-drama western film with musical interludes set in modern times also starring Burgess Meredith and Joan Blondell. Elvis is the first king of rock and roll, If there ever is a second one, Elvis will still be the first. We all really miss him." Priscilla Lisa Marie Ann Margaret Joe Esposito Astrology & Spirituality DJ Fontana Bits & Pieces After the concert in Des Moines Iowa, June 23, Ronnie Tutt leaves the band for good. He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there! It is interesting to note that between 1960-1969 Elvis total was 6232 to the Beatles 5964 for the same period. TOTAL CHARTED SINGLES ELVIS = 149 Beatles = 69 TOTAL WEEKS AT #1 ELVIS = 80 Beatles = 59 Elvis had 42 top twenty hits, 3 more than the Beatles. Elvis released 31 singles between 1956-1963 making available 62 songs for possible chart action - he charted 67.7% of his released singles between 1956-1962 The Beatles released 41 singles between 1964-1970 they charted 47.5% of their released singles between 1964-1970. This does indicate that Elvis does top the Beatles in terms of chart activity when comparing their peak years. Overall chart single history - Elvis wins hands down with the following chart success since 1962 Elvis 1963-1986 = 26 top twenty singles Beatles 1971-1986 = 2 top twenty singles Elvis 1963-1986 = 8 Top Ten Beatles 1971-1986 = 1 Top Ten Elvis 1963-1986 = 1 number one Beatles 1971-1986 = 0 number one Elvis released 80 singles between 1963-1986 Beatles released 24 singles between 1971 - 1986 So between 1963-1986 Elvis charted 32.5% of his single releases and the Beatles charted 8% of theirs.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

QUOTE FROM ELVIS "Ive been lucky, and you know something? I just feel sometimes like its all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes & wake up and it will all be over. I hope not. I hope it never happens. I hope it never ends." By Elvis" Elvis The Music (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!) Organizations Search Shop Elvis Presley Trauma Center Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation St. Jude Children's Research Hospital “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” By Bruce Springsteen * More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell. (United Artists) * Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in undated (circa 1964-1965) photograph. She starred with Presley in 1964's 'Viva Las Vegas.' * Technical details during filming of 'Roustabout' are studied here by Elvis Presley at the camera and Chet Stafford, chief gaffer on the film, who spots the lighting. Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Elvis and Miss Stanwyck are shown in a cow pasture where the film company was on location. (UPI) * Elvis Presley in Stay Away, Joe. a 1968 comedy-drama western film with musical interludes set in modern times also starring Burgess Meredith and Joan Blondell. Elvis is the first king of rock and roll, If there ever is a second one, Elvis will still be the first. We all really miss him." Priscilla Lisa Marie Ann Margaret Joe Esposito Astrology & Spirituality DJ Fontana Bits & Pieces After the concert in Des Moines Iowa, June 23, Ronnie Tutt leaves the band for good. He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there! It is interesting to note that between 1960-1969 Elvis total was 6232 to the Beatles 5964 for the same period. TOTAL CHARTED SINGLES ELVIS = 149 Beatles = 69 TOTAL WEEKS AT #1 ELVIS = 80 Beatles = 59 Elvis had 42 top twenty hits, 3 more than the Beatles. Elvis released 31 singles between 1956-1963 making available 62 songs for possible chart action - he charted 67.7% of his released singles between 1956-1962 The Beatles released 41 singles between 1964-1970 they charted 47.5% of their released singles between 1964-1970. This does indicate that Elvis does top the Beatles in terms of chart activity when comparing their peak years. Overall chart single history - Elvis wins hands down with the following chart success since 1962 Elvis 1963-1986 = 26 top twenty singles Beatles 1971-1986 = 2 top twenty singles Elvis 1963-1986 = 8 Top Ten Beatles 1971-1986 = 1 Top Ten Elvis 1963-1986 = 1 number one Beatles 1971-1986 = 0 number one Elvis released 80 singles between 1963-1986 Beatles released 24 singles between 1971 - 1986 So between 1963-1986 Elvis charted 32.5% of his single releases and the Beatles charted 8% of theirs.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

QUOTE FROM ELVIS "Ive been lucky, and you know something? I just feel sometimes like its all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes & wake up and it will all be over. I hope not. I hope it never happens. I hope it never ends." By Elvis" Elvis The Music (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!) Organizations Search Shop Elvis Presley Trauma Center Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation St. Jude Children's Research Hospital “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” By Bruce Springsteen * More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell. (United Artists) * Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in undated (circa 1964-1965) photograph. She starred with Presley in 1964's 'Viva Las Vegas.' * Technical details during filming of 'Roustabout' are studied here by Elvis Presley at the camera and Chet Stafford, chief gaffer on the film, who spots the lighting. Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Elvis and Miss Stanwyck are shown in a cow pasture where the film company was on location. (UPI) * Elvis Presley in Stay Away, Joe. a 1968 comedy-drama western film with musical interludes set in modern times also starring Burgess Meredith and Joan Blondell. Elvis is the first king of rock and roll, If there ever is a second one, Elvis will still be the first. We all really miss him." Priscilla Lisa Marie Ann Margaret Joe Esposito Astrology & Spirituality DJ Fontana Bits & Pieces After the concert in Des Moines Iowa, June 23, Ronnie Tutt leaves the band for good. He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there! It is interesting to note that between 1960-1969 Elvis total was 6232 to the Beatles 5964 for the same period. TOTAL CHARTED SINGLES ELVIS = 149 Beatles = 69 TOTAL WEEKS AT #1 ELVIS = 80 Beatles = 59 Elvis had 42 top twenty hits, 3 more than the Beatles. Elvis released 31 singles between 1956-1963 making available 62 songs for possible chart action - he charted 67.7% of his released singles between 1956-1962 The Beatles released 41 singles between 1964-1970 they charted 47.5% of their released singles between 1964-1970. This does indicate that Elvis does top the Beatles in terms of chart activity when comparing their peak years. Overall chart single history - Elvis wins hands down with the following chart success since 1962 Elvis 1963-1986 = 26 top twenty singles Beatles 1971-1986 = 2 top twenty singles Elvis 1963-1986 = 8 Top Ten Beatles 1971-1986 = 1 Top Ten Elvis 1963-1986 = 1 number one Beatles 1971-1986 = 0 number one Elvis released 80 singles between 1963-1986 Beatles released 24 singles between 1971 - 1986 So between 1963-1986 Elvis charted 32.5% of his single releases and the Beatles charted 8% of theirs.

Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell.

He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.
20 days later, Lisa gets married to the king of pop, Michael Jackson. The couple didn't have any children together, & the marriage only lasts two years and they divorce on August 20th 1996. After 6 years, Lisa gets married to Nicolas Cage on August 10th 2002, in Hawaii, but the marriage lasted only 3 months. They had no children. On January 22nd 2006, Lisa married her "Soulmate" Michael Lockwood in Japan. After 2 years of marriage twin girls are brought into the world on October 7th 2008, Finley Aaron Love Lockwood and Harper Vivenne Ann Lockwood. The happily married couple are still living life together and in August 2010 they moved to Tunbridge Wells Kent United Kingdom. Lisa's world came crashing down around her when former ex husband Michael Jackson died of a heart attack on June 25th 2009. She still misses him dearly she says in an interview with Oprah Winfrey October 21st 2010. She is now working on her 3rd CD to be released soon! QUOTE FROM ELVIS "Ive been lucky, and you know something? I just feel sometimes like its all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes & wake up and it will all be over. I hope not. I hope it never happens. I hope it never ends." By Elvis" Elvis The Music (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!) Organizations Search Shop Elvis Presley Trauma Center Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation St. Jude Children's Research Hospital “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” By Bruce Springsteen * More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell. (United Artists) * Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in undated (circa 1964-1965) photograph. She starred with Presley in 1964's 'Viva Las Vegas.' * Technical details during filming of 'Roustabout' are studied here by Elvis Presley at the camera and Chet Stafford, chief gaffer on the film, who spots the lighting. Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Elvis and Miss Stanwyck are shown in a cow pasture where the film company was on location. (UPI) * Elvis Presley in Stay Away, Joe. a 1968 comedy-drama western film with musical interludes set in modern times also starring Burgess Meredith and Joan Blondell. Elvis is the first king of rock and roll, If there ever is a second one, Elvis will still be the first. We all really miss him." Priscilla Lisa Marie Ann Margaret Joe Esposito Astrology & Spirituality DJ Fontana Bits & Pieces After the concert in Des Moines Iowa, June 23, Ronnie Tutt leaves the band for good. He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there! It is interesting to note that between 1960-1969 Elvis total was 6232 to the Beatles 5964 for the same period. TOTAL CHARTED SINGLES ELVIS = 149 Beatles = 69 TOTAL WEEKS AT #1 ELVIS = 80 Beatles = 59 Elvis had 42 top twenty hits, 3 more than the Beatles. Elvis released 31 singles between 1956-1963 making available 62 songs for possible chart action - he charted 67.7% of his released singles between 1956-1962 The Beatles released 41 singles between 1964-1970 they charted 47.5% of their released singles between 1964-1970. This does indicate that Elvis does top the Beatles in terms of chart activity when comparing their peak years. Overall chart single history - Elvis wins hands down with the following chart success since 1962 Elvis 1963-1986 = 26 top twenty singles Beatles 1971-1986 = 2 top twenty singles Elvis 1963-1986 = 8 Top Ten Beatles 1971-1986 = 1 Top Ten Elvis 1963-1986 = 1 number one Beatles 1971-1986 = 0 number one Elvis released 80 singles between 1963-1986 Beatles released 24 singles between 1971 - 1986 So between 1963-1986 Elvis charted 32.5% of his single releases and the Beatles charted 8% of theirs.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

QUOTE FROM ELVIS "Ive been lucky, and you know something? I just feel sometimes like its all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes & wake up and it will all be over. I hope not. I hope it never happens. I hope it never ends." By Elvis" Elvis The Music (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!) Organizations Search Shop Elvis Presley Trauma Center Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation St. Jude Children's Research Hospital “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” By Bruce Springsteen * More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell. (United Artists) * Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in undated (circa 1964-1965) photograph. She starred with Presley in 1964's 'Viva Las Vegas.' * Technical details during filming of 'Roustabout' are studied here by Elvis Presley at the camera and Chet Stafford, chief gaffer on the film, who spots the lighting. Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Elvis and Miss Stanwyck are shown in a cow pasture where the film company was on location. (UPI) * Elvis Presley in Stay Away, Joe. a 1968 comedy-drama western film with musical interludes set in modern times also starring Burgess Meredith and Joan Blondell. Elvis is the first king of rock and roll, If there ever is a second one, Elvis will still be the first. We all really miss him." Priscilla Lisa Marie Ann Margaret Joe Esposito Astrology & Spirituality DJ Fontana Bits & Pieces After the concert in Des Moines Iowa, June 23, Ronnie Tutt leaves the band for good. He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there! It is interesting to note that between 1960-1969 Elvis total was 6232 to the Beatles 5964 for the same period. TOTAL CHARTED SINGLES ELVIS = 149 Beatles = 69 TOTAL WEEKS AT #1 ELVIS = 80 Beatles = 59 Elvis had 42 top twenty hits, 3 more than the Beatles. Elvis released 31 singles between 1956-1963 making available 62 songs for possible chart action - he charted 67.7% of his released singles between 1956-1962 The Beatles released 41 singles between 1964-1970 they charted 47.5% of their released singles between 1964-1970. This does indicate that Elvis does top the Beatles in terms of chart activity when comparing their peak years. Overall chart single history - Elvis wins hands down with the following chart success since 1962 Elvis 1963-1986 = 26 top twenty singles Beatles 1971-1986 = 2 top twenty singles Elvis 1963-1986 = 8 Top Ten Beatles 1971-1986 = 1 Top Ten Elvis 1963-1986 = 1 number one Beatles 1971-1986 = 0 number one Elvis released 80 singles between 1963-1986 Beatles released 24 singles between 1971 - 1986 So between 1963-1986 Elvis charted 32.5% of his single releases and the Beatles charted 8% of theirs.

The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts.

As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

QUOTE FROM ELVIS "Ive been lucky, and you know something? I just feel sometimes like its all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes & wake up and it will all be over. I hope not. I hope it never happens. I hope it never ends." By Elvis" Elvis The Music (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!) Organizations Search Shop Elvis Presley Trauma Center Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation St. Jude Children's Research Hospital “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” By Bruce Springsteen * More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell. (United Artists) * Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in undated (circa 1964-1965) photograph. She starred with Presley in 1964's 'Viva Las Vegas.' * Technical details during filming of 'Roustabout' are studied here by Elvis Presley at the camera and Chet Stafford, chief gaffer on the film, who spots the lighting. Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Elvis and Miss Stanwyck are shown in a cow pasture where the film company was on location. (UPI) * Elvis Presley in Stay Away, Joe. a 1968 comedy-drama western film with musical interludes set in modern times also starring Burgess Meredith and Joan Blondell. Elvis is the first king of rock and roll, If there ever is a second one, Elvis will still be the first. We all really miss him."

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

QUOTE FROM ELVIS "Ive been lucky, and you know something? I just feel sometimes like its all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes & wake up and it will all be over. I hope not. I hope it never happens. I hope it never ends." By Elvis" Elvis The Music (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!) Organizations Search Shop Elvis Presley Trauma Center Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation St. Jude Children's Research Hospital “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” By Bruce Springsteen * More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell. (United Artists) * Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in undated (circa 1964-1965) photograph. She starred with Presley in 1964's 'Viva Las Vegas.' * Technical details during filming of 'Roustabout' are studied here by Elvis Presley at the camera and Chet Stafford, chief gaffer on the film, who spots the lighting. Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Elvis and Miss Stanwyck are shown in a cow pasture where the film company was on location. (UPI) * Elvis Presley in Stay Away, Joe. a 1968 comedy-drama western film with musical interludes set in modern times also starring Burgess Meredith and Joan Blondell. Elvis is the first king of rock and roll, If there ever is a second one, Elvis will still be the first. We all really miss him." Priscilla Lisa Marie Ann Margaret Joe Esposito Astrology & Spirituality DJ Fontana Bits & Pieces After the concert in Des Moines Iowa, June 23, Ronnie Tutt leaves the band for good. He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there! It is interesting to note that between 1960-1969 Elvis total was 6232 to the Beatles 5964 for the same period. TOTAL CHARTED SINGLES ELVIS = 149 Beatles = 69 TOTAL WEEKS AT #1 ELVIS = 80 Beatles = 59 Elvis had 42 top twenty hits, 3 more than the Beatles. Elvis released 31 singles between 1956-1963 making available 62 songs for possible chart action - he charted 67.7% of his released singles between 1956-1962 The Beatles released 41 singles between 1964-1970 they charted 47.5% of their released singles between 1964-1970. This does indicate that Elvis does top the Beatles in terms of chart activity when comparing their peak years. Overall chart single history - Elvis wins hands down with the following chart success since 1962 Elvis 1963-1986 = 26 top twenty singles Beatles 1971-1986 = 2 top twenty singles Elvis 1963-1986 = 8 Top Ten Beatles 1971-1986 = 1 Top Ten Elvis 1963-1986 = 1 number one Beatles 1971-1986 = 0 number one Elvis released 80 singles between 1963-1986 Beatles released 24 singles between 1971 - 1986 So between 1963-1986 Elvis charted 32.5% of his single releases and the Beatles charted 8% of theirs.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.
QUOTE FROM ELVIS
"Ive been lucky, and you know something? I just feel sometimes like its all a dream, like I'll rub my eyes & wake up and it will all be over. I hope not. I hope it never happens. I hope it never ends." By Elvis" Elvis The Music (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!) Organizations Search Shop Elvis Presley Trauma Center Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation St. Jude Children's Research Hospital “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” By Bruce Springsteen * More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell. (United Artists) * Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in undated (circa 1964-1965) photograph. She starred with Presley in 1964's 'Viva Las Vegas.' * Technical details during filming of 'Roustabout' are studied here by Elvis Presley at the camera and Chet Stafford, chief gaffer on the film, who spots the lighting. Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Elvis and Miss Stanwyck are shown in a cow pasture where the film company was on location. (UPI) * Elvis Presley in Stay Away, Joe. a 1968 comedy-drama western film with musical interludes set in modern times also starring Burgess Meredith and Joan Blondell. Elvis is the first king of rock and roll, If there ever is a second one, Elvis will still be the first. We all really miss him." Priscilla Lisa Marie Ann Margaret Joe Esposito Astrology & Spirituality DJ Fontana Bits & Pieces After the concert in Des Moines Iowa, June 23, Ronnie Tutt leaves the band for good. He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there! It is interesting to note that between 1960-1969 Elvis total was 6232 to the Beatles 5964 for the same period. TOTAL CHARTED SINGLES ELVIS = 149 Beatles = 69 TOTAL WEEKS AT #1 ELVIS = 80 Beatles = 59 Elvis had 42 top twenty hits, 3 more than the Beatles. Elvis released 31 singles between 1956-1963 making available 62 songs for possible chart action - he charted 67.7% of his released singles between 1956-1962 The Beatles released 41 singles between 1964-1970 they charted 47.5% of their released singles between 1964-1970. This does indicate that Elvis does top the Beatles in terms of chart activity when comparing their peak years. Overall chart single history - Elvis wins hands down with the following chart success since 1962 Elvis 1963-1986 = 26 top twenty singles Beatles 1971-1986 = 2 top twenty singles Elvis 1963-1986 = 8 Top Ten Beatles 1971-1986 = 1 Top Ten Elvis 1963-1986 = 1 number one Beatles 1971-1986 = 0 number one Elvis released 80 singles between 1963-1986 Beatles released 24 singles between 1971 - 1986 So between 1963-1986 Elvis charted 32.5% of his single releases and the Beatles charted 8% of theirs.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.
* More than 7,000 people jammed Ellis Auditorium on the night of May 15, 1956, to stomp, shudder, shriek and sigh as a young Elvis Presley writhed his way through a rock and roll repertoire. Presley was the blockbuster of Bob Neal's Cotton Picking Jamboree, a feature of Cotton Carnival opening night. * Maid of Cotton Patricia Cowden (left) and Memphis Cotton Carnival Queen Clare Mallory gave Elvis Presley royal kisses just before the rock and roll singer walked on stage before a packed Ellis Auditorium audience on the night of May 15, 1956. * Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976, before a crowd of 12,000 at the Mid-South Coliseum. Twenty-two years earlier to the day, Elvis recorded 'That's All Right' at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: 'I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me.' * Clutching an Elvis Presley 'Love Me Tender' wrist watch, Sue Manker was all aflutter when the rock and roll king bussed her Nov. 30, 1956, at Crump Stadium. The singer was tardy and missed the opportunity to crown her as queen of half-time activities at the E.H. Crump Memorial Football Game for the Blind. But what a consolation prize! * Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell in the 1962 movie, 'Follow That Dream.' The movie also featured Anne Helm, Joanna Moore, Alan Hewitt, Herbert Rudley, Simon Oakland, Howard McNear and Roland Winters. It was based on the novel 'Pioneer, Go Home' by Richard Powell. (United Artists) * Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in undated (circa 1964-1965) photograph. She starred with Presley in 1964's 'Viva Las Vegas.' * Technical details during filming of 'Roustabout' are studied here by Elvis Presley at the camera and Chet Stafford, chief gaffer on the film, who spots the lighting. Filmed in Technicolor and Techniscope, 'Roustabout' was a Hal Wallis production starring Presley and co-starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Freeman and Leif Erickson. John Rich directed. (Paramount) * When Elvis Presley, who rides a motorcycle in current film, 'Roustabout,' learned co-star Barbara Stanwyck could ride a motorcycle, Elvis promptly hoisted the four-time Academy Award nominee aboard a motorcycle built for two and they were off in a cloud of dust to the amazement of everybody March 20, 1964, in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Elvis and Miss Stanwyck are shown in a cow pasture where the film company was on location. (UPI) * Elvis Presley in Stay Away, Joe. a 1968 comedy-drama western film with musical interludes set in modern times also starring Burgess Meredith and Joan Blondell. Elvis is the first king of rock and roll, If there ever is a second one, Elvis will still be the first. We all really miss him." Priscilla Lisa Marie Ann Margaret Joe Esposito Astrology & Spirituality DJ Fontana Bits & Pieces After the concert in Des Moines Iowa, June 23, Ronnie Tutt leaves the band for good. He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there!

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.
Elvis is the first king of rock and roll, If there ever is a second one, Elvis will still be the first. We all really miss him." Priscilla Lisa Marie Ann Margaret Joe Esposito Astrology & Spirituality DJ Fontana Bits & Pieces After the concert in Des Moines Iowa, June 23, Ronnie Tutt leaves the band for good. He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there! It is interesting to note that between 1960-1969 Elvis total was 6232 to the Beatles 5964 for the same period. TOTAL CHARTED SINGLES ELVIS = 149 Beatles = 69 TOTAL WEEKS AT #1 ELVIS = 80 Beatles = 59 Elvis had 42 top twenty hits, 3 more than the Beatles. Elvis released 31 singles between 1956-1963 making available 62 songs for possible chart action - he charted 67.7% of his released singles between 1956-1962 The Beatles released 41 singles between 1964-1970 they charted 47.5% of their released singles between 1964-1970. This does indicate that Elvis does top the Beatles in terms of chart activity when comparing their peak years. Overall chart single history - Elvis wins hands down with the following chart success since 1962 Elvis 1963-1986 = 26 top twenty singles Beatles 1971-1986 = 2 top twenty singles Elvis 1963-1986 = 8 Top Ten Beatles 1971-1986 = 1 Top Ten Elvis 1963-1986 = 1 number one Beatles 1971-1986 = 0 number one Elvis released 80 singles between 1963-1986 Beatles released 24 singles between 1971 - 1986 So between 1963-1986 Elvis charted 32.5% of his single releases and the Beatles charted 8% of theirs.

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

One of its goals became the building of a memorial in the waters above the wreckage of the USS Arizona. After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day. Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.

He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time. While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there!

TOTAL CHARTED SINGLES ELVIS = 149 Beatles = 69 TOTAL WEEKS AT #1 ELVIS = 80 Beatles = 59 Elvis had 42 top twenty hits, 3 more than the Beatles.

Elvis: Second to None (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!)
After the concert in Des Moines Iowa, June 23, Ronnie Tutt leaves the band for good. He is replaced with Jerome Monroe (June 24) and Larrie Londin (June 25 and 26). In Madison, Wi-June 24th Elvis Presley sings 'One Night' for the last time.
While driving to Madison, Elvis stops the car so he could get out to assist a gas station attendant who is set upon by two youth. The fight came to a sudden end, as the two youth was shocked by the fact that Elvis Presley stood in front of them. The whole scene ended with Elvis getting them to shake hand, promise not to fight anymore, and finally a picture taken of all three. From the newspaper PG> A little about us. The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there!

Elvis: Second to None (Open It Up & Listen To The Man!)
The Elvis Connection Fan Club has been together since August 14th,1994. Since that time we have held several fund-raisers locally. Our benefactors have consisted of The N.Y Firefighters & The N.Y. United Way for Sept. 11th 2001 disaster in which we raised over $1600.00, also, The U.W. Children's Hospital, The U.W. Child - Life Center, The U.W. Leukemia Center which a special account was developed by Prof. Paul Sondel for special patient and family access to be used for their special wants and/or needs during their stay. We have also made donations to our local Ronald McDonald House in the monetary form and in making their wish list not a dream but a reality. On August 14th 1998 we held a fund - raiser for our local Muscular Dystrophy Assn. We were able to contribute a total of $703.00 to their cause. $113.00 dollars of this was raised by a jail and bail we did jailing no - less jailing our DJ M.C. that night. To him we say THANKS! We also had some Beanie Baby vendors come in and make a donation to Muscular Dystrophy at the end of the night. It was a fun night. We also did a fund - raiser for The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which $1000.00 was raised. On January 8th 1999, we attended the wolx Elvis Birthday Bash. With the sale of specially licensed Rosebowl T-Shirts we sent a check to The Ronald McDonald House for $50.00 from the sale of the shirts. We also are set for August 6th, 1999 which was the date for our fund-raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. As for some of our clubs goals we have received our 1st plaque from The Elvis Presley Trauma Center in which we donated $1000.00 to The Med-Center. We also have a cement tile in the Monona Terrace Convention Center Here locally, so Elvis's name is forever embedded in the rooftop garden there!

On July 20-25 and December 10-16 1973, Elvis Presley recorded 29 songs at Stax studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Visitors taking a tour of the famous 'STAX' studio were able to see a small display featuring the album covers featuring the recordings and a Karate gi which he wore during one of the sessions. But now, 'STAX' officials have effectively erased Elvis from it's history. The display is gone and Elvis is no longer mentioned during the studio tour. Anyone who does not already know, would have no idea Elvis ever stepped foot in the studio and recorded some great music. You cannot even find a single Elvis CD, picture or piece of memorabilia in the Stax gift shop. When asked about this, a Stax staff member commented; "Memphis is focussed on Elvis, but we want to show the world that Stax was more than the studio where he recorded. Stax is about soul. That's our story." When asked if Elvis would be re-instated into the Stax history, the answer was a simple a resounding "no".

After nearly a decade the commission was finally able to begin construction of the memorial, realising their only problem was raising the money to build it. That's where the Colonel, Tom Parker, jumped on the bandwagon by offering the commision his help by staging an Elvis concert as a benefit for the project. Elvis' benefit would raise nearly $ 65.000 for the memorial building fund. All proceeds went directly to the project, without anything held for expenses. Even the Colonel and Elvis had to buy a ticket to get into the show! In 1962 the memorial was finished & was dedicated on Memorial Day.

Since then, the USS Arizona Memorial has become one of the most visited sites in Hawaii. 3 Faces of WOLX@2006 WOLX Birthday Bash $given to The Madison Ronald McDonald House=4,500.
