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

I was obsessed with Elvis Presley when I was little.

Elvis was a giant and influenced everyone in the business.

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.

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

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

Elvis was the king. No doubt about it. People like myself, Mick Jagger and all the others only followed in his footsteps.

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

Elvis and I were very good friends. We were such good friends that, on the day that he passed, I was the first one his father called, to let me know what had happened.

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.
