A lot of fans will be in Memphis for the anniversary of Elvis Presley's death today. Elvis Week officially is August 9 -17th this year. Early in this blog I remembered how his death effected me personally. In fact, the idea of having a blog about my life in the music business had a lot to do with Elvis and my friendship with him. Few people, even those of us who had fate on our side when talent and hardwork were not enough, get to become as famous and loved as Elvis Presley. And I had the good fortune to be able to count the man as one of my friends! One of my best friends in a life full of friends!
This is what Elvis said to me one time when I was feeling down about my career. He said, "Wes, you're a good human being and that's be'en a success in my book."
I LOVE AND MISS ELVIS! I believe he goes on in Eternal Life and God knows he remains an inspiration to many people today. So many of his fan clubs have followed in his path of generosity!
