Re: Need Info on this photo
What an interesting candid, and new to my eyes. It is almost certainly circa 1958-60.bluejeans1944 wrote:Does anyone know where & when this photo was taken? Appreciate any input. Thanks
One guess is it is from early 1960, after Elvis was back from Germany. Another possibility is it's from Texas, before he left for Germany.
The guy in the background may be cousin "Junior" Smith. Cute kids! This appears to be a kids birthday party. Those children are now in their mid-to-late fifties, if still with us. How time flies.
bripet56 may be able to help more, he is a true expert at dating Elvis photos. Brian?

Thanks Julian for the extra photos not seen before...also the "where & when" info. I assume they were taken shortly after El's army induction.

It certainly looks like Elvis' hairstyle circa June-July 1958. And it was indeed a birthday party, probably for one of Eddie's children, for sure the girl in the dark dress is Janice Fadal, aged 5, and the little boy is Dana "Reddy Kilowatt" Fadal, aged 3. Elvis gave him that nickname because he loved playing with light bulbs.bluejeans1944 wrote:Thanks Julian for the extra photos not seen before...also the "where & when" info.
