George Klein has drawn criticism for his brave claim recently on Sirius Radio. According to Klein: " When I introduced Elvis to the Beatles it was a meeting of the superpowers. I was in awe, here my best friend Elvis was hosting the most dynamic group in popular music, and I was in the middle of it, thinking to myself GK, you've come along way son." Most sources indicate the meeting of Elvis and the Fab Four was orchestrated by their respective managers, Colonel Tom Parker and Brian Epstein.

'Ol George is suffering from memory lapse again apparently.....
It was Colonel Parker and Brian Epstein who both jointly set up the meeting with Elvis and the Beatles.
What will this guy claim next??? Sheesh!! He's just continually trying to make himself appear more important than he really was or place himself in situations when he wasn't even there....much like the Stanleys.....:doh: :lmfao: (n)

ahhh.. I tought it was put together by the two managers...Not only pictures, JJ but a recorded jam session. I read Elvis was practicing his bass playing and he jammed with Paul and John while Ringo and George played pool with the bodyguards.
Afterwards the Beatles said that, Elvis seemed old in the way he was acting. Hello...Elvis was 1st a southerner and 2nd, The King. He had no one to impress.

Just for the record the quote"If youre not an Elvis Presley fan no explanation is possible,if you are no explanation is necessary" was first said by Elvis"s dentist Dr Lester Hoffman in memphis 1985 . But Geogre Klein seems to have the recognition for the quote.Sorry the guy bugs me,I dont think he was as close to Elvis as he makes out.

It would be nice to think that pictures and a recording of this meeting exist, but they do not.
It would be the Holy Grail of music.
This pic is supposedly of Lennon walking back to his car afterwards taken by someone from the gate.
I've seen a fuller version that shows Elvis at the front door waving goodbye. It was featured (from memory) in one of Paul Lichter's books (which means nothing, as he's full of crap). Anybody got the fuller version of this pic?
