Thinking about Elvis, I've also been thinking about our friend Cliff Gleaves. Cliff was the funniest man around Elvis, a real madcap with high energy, a personality, once a D.J. with aspirations of a singing career of his own. How great an entertainer was Cliff Gleaves? Great enough to be expected to perform at Elvis' house parties in LA. He sometimes played the piano and sang for hours! When I listen to this song "The Long Black Hearse" I'm reminded of his sense of humor...
