Some claim that Liberace was just across the street.

Neil Diamond was notorious for not cutting his lawn. One day Elvis came out and yelled at his neighbor Neil Diamond. Elvis said, "maybe the grass won't pay no mind, but I do. Cut you g-dd--n lawn, Neil. Else good times won't seem so good once you have a black eye."

Daryl...I don't know where you heard that, if in fact you did, but that's funny as hell. I can see Elvis saying just that! :smt005

A finnish ice hockey coach Alpo Suhonen (former head coach of Chicago Blackhawks) told once that he met Elvis in Beverly Hills when he was attending Neil Diamonds son's birthday party. According to him Elvis who was living next door to Diamonds came in through the back gate. This was in 1974.

I've never read anywhere about Elvis coming in through Diamond's back door. That must just be a rumour.

In 2007 I was in Memphis for the 30th anniversary of Elvis's death and at one of the shows they had Jerry Schilling, among others, signing autographs. I wanted to come up with a question that he didn't get normally (if that is possible), so I asked him if Elvis had a favorite football team. He told me that he followed the Cleveland Browns somewhat because of his admiration of Jim Brown and that at some point after Jim Brown retired (1965), he and Elvis were neighbors and Elvis got to know him a little bit. He didn't say whether they were neighbors in LA or Palm Springs (I figure LA due to Jim Brown's acting career). Thought it was a worth a mention here.


Heady Elvis ⚡️🍄⚡️

How come Neil never really talks about Elvis in anyway either musically or personally? Guess he doesnt like to namedrop? Would be nice to hear some of these neighbor stories from him or how he felt about Elvis recording his songs. I always thought his Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show suited Elvis perfectly, better than Sweet Caroline.

Wasn't Danny Thomas one of Elvis' neighbors at one time?

It would be interesting to hear his thoughts about Elvis.

They use to call Neil the Jewish Elvis.

That looks like a Pearly King cap on Liberace's head so he's probably saying something Cockney like "Gaw Blimey Guv'nor, if it ain't me ol' China, h'Elvis himselvis." Translation: "Hello Elvis." :D

It's amazing how he played such wonderful piano trills with only three fingers and a thumb on his right hand...

John Phillips of the Mamas and The Papas has said he was a neighbor of Elvis' in California. John said Elvis was good guy and joked that Elvis liked him and his wife even though they were hippies.
