Born in Tennessee,I first saw Elvis at the Mid-South Fair in Memphis. He was strolling through the fairgrounds,holding hands with an attractive lady and stopped at the midway to throw some balls and hand out teddy bears to the girls gathered around.

He was strolling through the fairgrounds,holding hands with an attractive lady and stopped at the midway to throw some balls and hand out teddy bears to the girls gathered around. As a teenager my friends and I would sit on the bed, listen to Old Shep and cry. Six of us went together to see Love Me Tender at the local theater.We played his songs at all our dances.
Many years later I belonged to a songwriting group and met my co-writer who asked me to join him in writing a song to express our remembrance and our love of Elvis and his music.
