Wink Martindale ! He's a truly nice man. Most people know him as a television game show host but he started in radio at the age of 16 in his home town of Jackson, Tennessee.
I met him in 1957 the very night I met Elvis. I was performing on his Dance Party Show in Memphis Tennessee while on a tour for United Artists performing Lonesome Love. In 1961 when I had moved to Los Angeles and was promoting my song "Melodie D' Amour" I was on his KCOP television show, channel 13... Wink was there when Elvis and I met and began our friendship. I haven't seen him in a long, long time but I count him and his wife Sandy as old friends.
Wink has his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
