Pity She Died So Young,could Have Made All The Difference
I think that linda Tompson was great with elvis and showed she cared no matter what happen. Billy smith was also a great influence and showed his love for elvis though and though. Gladys too.

LETS BE FRIENDS!
His mom, his cousins and Linda. I guess the Colonel, but I don't think that was a good influence at all.

Linda Thompson, Billy Smith and Ed Parker.

Maybe his mom...It's hard to judge since he also had an influence over the people he knew, so you can't know what really came from which person, see what I mean?
Obviously his mother..
After that it gets more difficult to choose. I'd like to say Jerry Shilling.
Also Steve Binder..the director of the '68 Special. He was a creative director and someone Elvis really could use like that as manager.
"How do I get placed in situations like this? Ah hell, I guess it's all part of showbusiness "~ Elvis in his limo on his way to perform in Omaha, NE on June 19th 1977
I wish he had taken on Steve Binder and dropped the old out-of-date greedy Colonel.

the worst influence - after the 50s ceretainly the Colonel.
The best - his mom
After his mother, there was no one IMO.
He spent a lot of time reading, searching. Geller was the only one he seemed able to talk to about spiritual things.
That was his interest, but it seemed to make everyone else uncomfortable.
Very strange to me; the discomfort .![]()

"...You never stood in that man's shoes, or saw things through his eyes, or stood and watched with helpless hands, while the heart inside you dies. So help your brother along the way, no matter where he starts. For the same God that made you made him too...these men with broken hearts." Hank Williams, Sr, as quoted by
