February 25th '61 Memphis luncheon!

Tue Jan 24, 2006 10:33 am

It's very likely that this would of been Dee Stanley' first official outting (since July '60!) as Ol' Vern's new wife! Gee, that ol' bastard didn't take long to re-marry, now did he! I've got audio from the Press Conference, now all I need is the damn visual and any information anyone of you wish to share! )

Fancy having hamburgers on the damn menu!

Just look in the bitch' eyes!

He looks more scared here, then a sh*t - house rat!

I like to try and document lost moments in his life! It seems no one ever mentions this luncheon!

Not a fan of Dee Presley, eh?

Anyway, I love these photos of Elvis, an artist at the top of his game at the age of 26, a multimedia giant of radio, TV, stage and screen, with three kick-ass benefit shows booked in the next four weeks. Good times never seemed so good.

Two of the snaps are reverse-images, below are the corrected photos.

Hamburgers? that looks like a piece of bread to me, i.e. a roll. :lol:

Great pictures!! I have a few more here for you!!

BTW, I have never heard of a recording of this press conference, where can I find that?

Also, it isn't hamburgers they are eating. It's just plain bread!!

I took a leaf outta docs book, here's your color pic with the image the right way around. i can see why from the background why someone thought it must be the other way, i don't know if that's a window of some sorts with the writing on..

Note: four of those six photos are from March 8, 1961, when Elvis addressed the Tennessee State Legislature in Nashville.

Thank you very much for pointing that out. I really didn't know... he is wearing the same outfit though? or is it just my eyes playing tricks on me?!!

Did you all read the saying on the trophy Elvis received on the last of Funky´s pics.

"A Tribute for reaching the 75 million mark in record sales"

75 million in 5 years and 3 months. Not bad at all. And if memory serves me well I believe that the TV-set Elvis recieved at Graceland right after he got back from the army was awarded for his 50 million records.

Please correct me if I´m wrong but I seem to remember having read it somewhere. Just don´t recall where.

Sincerely

Thanks for the great pics.

One would hope that the hotel could've come up with a better looking dais for the world's #1 entertainer to speak from .... it looks like it was last used by Rudy Valentino. Also looks like they were hiding the good china?

Maybe they thought Stanley would pilfer it :lol:
