Some recommended Elvis Presley websites









We have high standards when it comes to Elvis Presley websites just as we have for (6) six decades of collecting anything/everything of quality pertaining to Elvis during his lifetime.

We don't sugar coat the ups, downs, setbacks, flaws, etc. of Elvis as he was human. However, we believe that context matters and Elvis' known professional, and personal, life was (in many ways) extraordinary.

By having high standards, by associating our name by recommending others, bu that does not mean the sites do not have to be filled with pages upon pages of content.

We have great admiration for Elvis Presley fans to give of their time and share their thoughts, collection, etc. via their website.

So, as of June 2016 here are the list of great Elvis Presley related websites. If you know of (firsthand) sites that we should consider to add to this list please leave a detailed comment with the link and why you believe we should consider it.

Rare Elvis Presley interview at Hilton Hawaiian Village in 1972 (audio)



*** VIDEO courtesy of YouTube ***

This rare interview took place on November 20, 1972 at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. This interview is concerning the first ever television event broadcast live via satellite.

I was around 10 years old at the time and being an Elvis fan, and having read all I could get my hands on about this as well as I was a fan of Popular Mechanics and other "nerdish" publications the combination of Elvis live to a billion people to one and half billion people was...amazing.

Putting together a multi nation concert, with satellite technology, had never been contemplated that so many people, from so many nations, could watch Elvis perform live simultaneously. Out of all of the entertainment genres they wisely chose Elvis for they knew he was the only performer/entertainer who would meet/exceed the estimated one billion to one and a half billion viewers as he was loved by fans in every corner of the world.

Elvis lost weight, rehearsed, and though initially overwhelmed with the thought (and the knowledge that his relationship with Priscilla had deteriorated for the past year and the subject of his marriage comes up in this interview and his "marriage future" and Elvis' answer seemed to be a sad acceptance) he put together a great show and exceeded the charitable goals by well of 50% (i.e. Kui Lee cancer foundation).

Elvis loved Hawaii and with each passing year we heard, read about, saw, etc. Elvis' deterioration (i.e. physically, mentally, emotionally, financially, etc) none of us believed that in less than 5 years from the date of his interview Elvis would die at his home in Memphis Tennessee at the age of 42.
