Some Elvis Facts And History You May Not Know

Everyone remembers Elvis Presley's song " Hound Dog " but I bet you didn't know it never got to number 1. In fact it barely broke into the top 20.

When Elvis was buried he had a eternal flame at his grave just like President Kennedy but a few years after his death the flame went out and it was never relit.

Thats Alright Mama was the first song Elvis recorded that was played on the radio. He recorded it with Sammy Moore and Bill Black and famous Memphis Radio DJ Dewey Phillips made history by playing it and the song on the flip side " Blue Moon Of Kentucky " all night long. Many people say it was Phillips who really helped to push Elvis' Career along.

I bet you didn't know that Elvis' favorite foods were Peanut Butter and Bannana Sandwiches fried in Butter , Bacon Fried Crisp and Corn Bread and Milk. He was very simple in the foods he ate and was real picky about who prepared his meals. He rarely ate out instead prefering his food to be cooked by his family or closest friends.

Below are some great Elvis Presley Videos to enjoy and play. Plus below you will find a great collection of Elvis Presley Photos.

Some More Elvis Presley Trivia

The U.S. FBI has over 600 files on Elvis Presley and have always refused to reveal any of it. The reason is they say the files are vital to National Security. Come on now what could Elvis possibly have to do with National Security.

Elvis was only 12 years old when he got his first guitar. It was a birthday present for his 12th birthday and the rest is history.

One of the first things Elvis bought when he really started making money was a pink cadilac for his mother. He later bought many Cadilacs , Pick Up Trucks and etc for his friends.

Many of Elvis' close friends believe Elvis knew in advance that his death was near. He gave several friends near the end special gifts and told them he was going to see his Mama soon.

Elvis always really wanted to be normal said one time close friend and Memphis Mafia member Red West. Elvis always wished he could just go for a walk down the street and be left along but that was not to be,

Some Strange Elvis Trivia

As Elvis became more famous , he came to believe that he was no ordinary person. For one thing he believed he could look at clouds in the sky and make them move. You could not say the wind was moving them or he became angry.

Communing With The Dead

One of the stranger things Elvis liked to do was to go to the Funeral Home that had prepared his mothers body and sleep there on a couch they had or at times just set there quitely all night long until the sun was coming up/ He truly believed that his mothers spirit was there with him and he could often be heard talking to her.

At The Pool

Elvis Presley enjoyed setting around the pool eating watermelon. For entertainment he would float light bulbs in the pool and shoot them.

On His Way To Meet Nixon

On his way to meet Richard Nixon at the White House Elvis insisted they stop at a Doughnut Shop he saw along the way. He bought two dozen glazed doughnuts and ate them all on the short drive to the White House.
