When I was a little kid, I was very impressed with Elvis.

I was an Elvis freak. That's all I listened to growing up.

I was nuts about Elvis, like every girl in America.

I was an original Elvis fan. He was the voice of my generation. I was listening to him on the radio when he released his great Sun records with Scotty Moore on electric guitar and Bill Black on bass.

I never felt more loved than when I was with Elvis.

My older brother had a lot of Elvis on vinyl, and really, that was my first introduction to music during the Fifties.

Elvis was, at least the times I was around him, Elvis was a practical joker. He was always, had some little mischievous something going.

I was madly in love with Elvis Presley. Dad wasn't into it at all, at least not for himself as a performer. He used to say, 'Mr. Cole does not rock n' roll.'

And I just remember, you know, breaking into tears and feeling so empty because, as long as Elvis was in the world, you always knew something was going and he always had something that kept everybody mesmerized.

When I first met Elvis, we had so much in common and became fast friends.
