Reply With QuoteFike is definitley an interesting character. Often comes across as bitter and angry. I like him.
According to the Memphis Mafia's LAMAR FIKE, in his forthcoming memoir, AN UNCOMMON JOURNEY:
ON ELVIS PRESLEY BOULEVARD (co-written with celebrity-bio man MARK BEGO), "In 1976, David's then-wife Angela, visited us all at the now-defunct International in Las Vegas, and she brought with her a song David had written especially for Elvis, 'The Prettiest Star'.
She was a bit under the weather so she didn't get to stay for the show, but gave me the song to give to Elvis. We were terrifically excited to get something from one of the new emerging acts on the music scene. Elvis was always very much aware of the next thing, and, at that point it was Bowie."
Fike has also written a film treatment to accompany the book entitled '57-60: One of the Boys.' "The screenplay is out to a several film companies in N. Y. and L. A. I expect we'll be able to announce a deal in 90 days."

I had heard from David Bowie himself that he was approached from someone at RCA (Bowie and Elvis were on the same label) to write a couple of songs especially for Elvis around 1975. Lamar confirms this story.
Oh, you talking about Lacker The Slacker???You think Lamar is bad, you should see Marty Lacker

I read that Bowie wrote "Golden years" for Elvis but Elvis didn't record it for some unknown reason ...
"Kill that blower or blow that killer. Whatever."
Elvis-TTWII
Also makes you wonder why we didn't get no "Country Bumpkin" from the March 1975 Sessions in Hollywood, CA.
