At 3:11 you see a picture of Elvis and Sam that I haven't seen before. When and where was this taken?

I think its from the Banquet held in honour of Elvis before his Charity concerts in Memphis in 1961.

To be more precise, it's after Elvis' Memphis press conference, Saturday, February 25, 1961, and just before they all went to the official luncheon.

Thank you Doc, the '60's isn't my strong point.

You need to work on that.

Of course I should, there were many great times during the '60's

Great guys ! Thanks so much ! I never even knew that pictures of them together after Dec. 56 existed

Looking at these pics, I can't help thinking that a full beard would look good on Sam !

BTW - how did he fare after Elvis' departure from Sun ?

Did he die a rich man ?

I've often wondered............................

Didn't his investment in the Holiday Inn chain make him a very rich man. Hell, who needs rekkuds?

The short answer: yes.

The longer answer: save your money for Peter Guralnick's next biography, which will be on Sam Phillips.

All your wondering will cease upon completion of Peter's sure to be classic work.

That last shot of Sam shows a resemblance to Neil Finn of Crowded House - just an observation.
