Need help in identifying fellows in this photo

[ksimms2]

Hi all, I was sent this photo today through one of my other Elvis groups - can any of you identify any of the fellows in this pic - other than Elvis? It looks to be when he was a teenager - maybe some high school chums?

Thanks Cameron. He sure is young in that pic, that is why I was thinking high school. Also, check the follow out on the left, he is holding Elvis' hand.

Thanks for posting Kelly! The guy to the right of Elvis looks like a young Johnny Cash...:lol::lol: Maybe it's the hair..:D

[ksimms2]

if you mean the guy immediately Elvis' left? yes you are right. I think the guy on the far right looks a bit like Brad Pitt (nowadays)....lol. Interesting to find out who these fellows are...

This pic for some reason doesn't look real to me, especially the one with Elvis.

[Getlo]

They are Elvis' friends from his time living at Lauderdale Courts.

From left to right: Farley Guy, Elvis, Paul Dougher and Buzzy Forbess.

And the pic is colourised.

No one would ever guess from looking at that photo that one of those kids would turn out to be possibly the most handsome man to ever walk the earth....:D:D

Thank you Getlo! I KNEW You'd know it!!!! To the person who said it doesn't look like a real photo of Elvis, it's because of his natural hair color, etc. was sandy brownish.....not the dyed black we are used to.

ooops....Joe Car....sorry I said "to the person who said....." I think it's because it's his natural hair color and the dyed black we are used to - don't you?

Thanks Getlo, I have that picture in black and white that I printed out quite a while ago and always wondered who the other boys were. Elvis looks to be about 15.

[Getlo]

He lived there from September 1949 to January 1953, aged 14 to 18.

[Diane]

Thanks for that information Getlo. (y)

It was taken on Paul Doughers birthday at the Courts.

[Johnny]

Is Elvis in denim jeans?

[toffe]

Thanks for sharing
Great picture, and great info Getlo! :)

[utmom2008]

Is Elvis in denim jeans?
No....Elvis is in the stone colored khaki's.

That picture is in the book "Elvis Up Close" and a couple of those guys gave interviews for the book.

[Diane]

You mentioned that book before....I need to get a hold of it. Sounds like an exceptionally good one.:D

No....Elvis is in the stone colored khaki's.

Thanks for that; I thought that as well; guess that dispells the myth that I read somewhere that Elvis only wore jeans in his youth

[Getlo]

No....Elvis is in the stone colored khaki's.

Bearing in mind the pic is colourised, Elvis' pants could actually have been one of several light colours.

True....whoever decided to colorise it must have liked the color that we now call "stone". :lol::lol:

someone posted another younger pic like this of Elvis on the same group - and he is with another young fellow in cowboy outfits. I am wondering if it's the same young man fartherest to the right? I'll have to copy/paste that pic as well. Looks to be the same time frame.

The boy with Elvis in the pic you mention is his cousin Gene Smith at the Mid South Fair in Memphis in 1953.
