People in Elvis's world you'd like to meet?

[MissyM]

We know everyone would love to sit and have a chat with Elvis. Who in his inner circle or family would you like to sit and have a chat with. I'd love to talk to Gladys. As for someone still with us, I think Col. Parker's wife.

[ehollier]

Priscilla -- She is the keeper of the intimate secrets of The King...

[President Presley]

That's an easy question: Larry Geller.
He talked with Elvis about spiritual things,
and I'd like to know how Elvis saw himself :hmm:

[midnight]

I would love to meet Lisa Marie and get to know her well enough to see what she really remembers about her daddy and her thoughts on her dear old mom.

[KPM]

I think Lisa. I also would like to meet Red West. My brother met Sonny West in the 80s.

[Tony Trout]

Here are my picks:

Lisa Marie Presley
Sonny West
Red West
Lamar Fike
Billy Smith

[Lonniebealestreet]

Definitely Billy Smith. A straight shooter who is Elvis' blood and was his closest friend toward the end of his life. I have lots of respect for Billy.

He was obviously very special to Elvis.

I would like to meet Lisa and Priscilla as well, but for Elvis talk I would really enjoy having a long conversation with Billy.

I would love to speak with Mrs. Presley and Dodger, letting them lead any conversation, or not.

I would then give them a thankful hug, as well as a bigger one for Elvis. I would like to express to Elvis how loved he is by so many people. That no matter what, he would always be welcome in our world, and any difficulties would be quickly forgotten, by everyone, to just have him around with us. I know that for a fact.

[Getlo]

I've been lucky enough to meet many of Elvis' friends, family and bandmembers, but the one I'd like to meet and spend some time with is Red.

[U.S. Male]

Here's my "wish to meet" list:

Red West
Sonny West
Billy Smith
Each of The TCB Band Members
The Sweet Inspirations
Hamburger James :lol:

[Broussey]

Priscilla
Lisa-Maire- i saw her but did not get a chance to chat
Larry geller
Sonny west
Jerry schilling
Vaster
His mommy
His daddy
Linda
Ginger
Billy Smith
Joe Esposito
Pasty Presley
I think anyone that ever knew him personally :)

[cameron]

I've met and visited with all I care about meeting. Except for Lisa .
Actually, I'd like to talk to Al Strada and Tish Hensley too.

[rickb]

I'd like to meet Red West

[Rising Sun]

For me it would be interesting to talk to anyone of Elvis' friends but I'd really love to meet Lisa Marie. She was Elvis' little girl and I think it would be interesting to hear some storys that she remembers and I often wonder what she thinks about her dad now and what her feelings about him really are...
In November I will meet Larry Geller and I'm sooo happy about that!!!!! :D:D:D
He will present his new book and I'm courious about what he will tell about Elvis' spiritual side (y)

Linda

[Getlo]

I've met and visited with all I care about meeting.

Who have you met?

[alstrada]

Al Strada

This is the second person finding EP in bathroom after Alden.

[Jungleroom76]

Although I briefly met him in Memphis during ELVIS WEEK 2000, I would LOVE to have a long, sit down conversation with Jerry Schilling. He definitely seems like one of the few guys around Elvis that would really tell you how it was...the good and the bad, without making himself look like a saint. :hmm:

TCB!
Mike

[The King's Queen]

If I could converse honestly and at length with anyone right now...I would pick Billy Smith (because he was Elvis' kin, and he spent more time with him toward the end too), and Linda Thompson (because she would have to have some interesting stories to tell!) and of course, Lisa Marie...And if Lisa would be totally honest and outright open about things, I think it would be a hoot to hear her opinions on her Daddy and "Mommy Dearest" as well....lol!

There you go Lea, referring to Elvis' ex-wife in an unflattering way.:mad: I think I may have to report you and then lay low for a few days.;);):lmfao::lmfao::lmfao:
Actually....I think you are on to something with your list. Those are the 3 that I would pick as well.:notworthy

[TotallyInsane]

My list would be Lisa Marie!!!

:supriced: Imagine that Rosie...you and I thinking alike...:hmm::hmm: Maybe that is why we are always getting into trouble...:doh::lmfao:;)

[Lisarose]

I'd like to meet with Judy Spreckels and Ann-Margret - together would be wonderful! The three of us in a bar drinking mojitos and talking Elvis!
James Burton and John Wilkinson[sp?] - not just to talk Elvis, but to talk music - I'd love to get some guitar pointers from them!
AND, definitely Gladys. Everything I've read about her- she'd just be so sweet and kind and more than willing to give me an earful about her baby boy!

[SleepyJack]

Not sure if it counts as "inner circle" but I would like to have been able to sit down with Sam Philips and have a good ol` chat about Elvis and about Sam`s thoughts on the whole music scene...he always seemed to me like one of the more interesting people in the big story.

[Donut]

Anyone close to him before he was famous.

[Getlo]

and Ann-Margret ... in a bar drinking mojitos and talking Elvis!

AM is an alcoholic, so that ain't gonna happen I'm afraid ...

[Lisarose]

AM is an alcoholic, so that ain't gonna happen I'm afraid ...

You mean you think there's a chance either would talk?:blink: If that's the case, she can drink whatever she wants - I'm the one who likes mojitos :D!

[LianaKaralivanou]

Priscilla. I have so many questions...:blush:

[rhythmknights]

jerry schilling & myrna smith

[shelley.m.]

My list:Mr&Mrs Vernon Presley,Gene Smith,Scotty Moore,Lisa Marie and Priscilla.

[Unchained Melody]

My list goes like this.

Billy Smith
Lamar Fike
Red & Sonny West
Priscilla
Jerry Schilling
George Klein

[Burning_Love]

Id love to meet Lisa.
Also, Red West and Billy Smith, I understand they were close to Elvis throughout his life.

[Unchained Melody]

Billy Smith would be the most interesting to have a deep conversation with to me, because the last two years of Elvis' life Billy was with Elvis 18 to 20 hours a day !
