For some reason, there are now a plethora of videos on YouTube involving the question of Is Elvis Alive? I haven’t watched all of them by any means…but I can almost guarantee that they come to the wrong conclusion or else they present nonsense stories about sightings, etc.
Below is the full TV show which was based upon Gail Brewer-Giorgio’s work. This was hosted by Bill Bixby. I was friends with Gail at the time of the taping of this show. I was publishing my newsletter during the months prior to this show. The show was good and very informative.
Below are two photos that Gail sent to me taken during the making of this TV show. In the top photo, you will see Gail sitting beside Gene Smith who appeared in the video to say that he did not believe it was really Elvis in the coffin.
In the second photo below, you will see Gail backstage with Bill Bixby.
Gail was almost immediately signed up for a follow-up sequence to this show. However, other entities stepped in and turned the 2nd show into a sabotage of the truth presented on the first show. Gail was not included in the 2nd show in any way at all. All of us who knew Gail and supported her were very disappointed in the way things turned out. Evidently, Gail went too far with her pursuit and had to be halted.

Just want to let everyone know that Jesse did phone me tonight. He has been in the hospital due to a fall in his bathtub. He is doing alright from that now. He didn’t talk long tonight but said he would call me back later. As always, I was so glad to get to speak with him and to know that he is all right now.

I apologize for being so late getting the good news posted that Jesse phoned me late on Tuesday afternoon. We didn’t talk very long but certainly enjoyed every minute that we did. He didn’t want me to be disappointed that he didn’t call me on Tuesday. He is so sweet and considerate…bestest brother in the world.

Below is another very brief video from YouTube which hints that Elvis knew that his final show on June 26, 1977, would truly be his very last time with the audience.

Many years ago, Mr. Syrett asked me to appear on his TV show. I declined because I did not have the opportunity to discuss it with Jesse beforehand. Below is the proof of Mr. Syrett’s contact with me requesting the interview.
Below is my response to an earlier invitation from Mr. Syrett:

As you have just seen, the naysayers were all too willing to share their ignorance and so the show ended with the wrong conclusion.
<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>
Just last month a show aired questioning the death of Elvis. I was contacted by an Associate Producer with the FOX Nation streaming channel requesting that I do an interview for their show. Once again, because I did not have a chance to get Jesse’s OK on such short notice, I declined. After viewing the show when it did air, I wish I could have gone on there and blown them all away with the truth. They listened to the wrong people and reached the same old tired incorrect conclusion.
Below are the emails which I received inviting me to appear on the show, they wanted to send a film crew here to interview me.

So this concludes my expose ‘ of some of the shows focusing on the questions surrounding the death of Elvis. It is always very frustrating to me to see people who have absolutely NO firsthand knowledge of Elvis telling their same tired old stories to debunk the truth that I have been telling on my websites with Jesse’s full approval for over 14 years.

My friend Chris McC sent me the below comparison of Elvis and Jesse which he and I both like a lot. My thanks to Chris.

My best friend, MJ, shared the below article with me. I am so happy to see Riley using her production skills in this Graceland special.
Heartfelt thanks to MJ for sharing this with me.

I love this beautiful early photo of Elvis which my friend Chris McC shared with me. Chris guessed that he must have been at Sun when this was taken.
I just love how genuinely happy he looks in this photo…before all the complications of fame and fortune overtook his life.
<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>
Just look at this beautiful match of Elvis in the poolhouse door and another photo of Elvis from the late 70’s.
The poolhouse door photo really is Elvis/Jesse at New Year’s just months after he “died” which was really only a retirement to a new and better life.
The poolhouse door photo is definitely Elvis and not Al Strada nor Elvis’ cousin who started being at Graceland after Elvis “died“. These were the lies told on the Larry King Show when Gail Brewer-Giorgio appeared on that show. Joe Esposito and George Klein were both lying…as was Mike Joseph.

ELVIS IS ALIVE. 1978 POOL HOUSE DOOR PHOTO. ELVIS POOL HOUSE DOOR PHOTO. ON LARRY KING SHOW, PHOTOGRAPHER LIES ABOUT HIS EARLIER STATEMENTS ON TAPE. In this excerpt of Gail Brewer-Giorgio’s 2nd appearance on the Larry King Show…this one after her book had become a New York Times bestseller. Joe Esposito appears & declares that the person in the pool house door photo is Al Strada…you will see Joe’s explanation become questionable. Then Mike Joseph is interviewed via phone and attempts to retract his earlier statements. If you listen carefully, you will see that Mike’s statements are all over the place: says he never made a tape in which he said it was Elvis in the photo; says he changed his mind when he met with George Klein and Joe Esposito; says he told Gail in Feb. 1988 that it was NOT Elvis in the photo; says that George Klein told him that it was Elvis’ cousin Jimmy who was never liked by Elvis and who began hanging around after Elvis was gone. Joe then loses some of his confidence and, when asked, after the story about Jimmy, says in a weak little voice “Yes, I do.” after Larry asked him if he says it is Al Strada.Mike Joseph said that he made the interview tape about his taking of the photo AFTER he told Gail that IT WAS NOT Elvis in the photo!?! What is that supposed to mean? He says there is no tape of him saying that he said it was Elvis and then turns around and speaks about doing the interview tape. So, what it boils down to is that Joe says it is Al Strada but did not come prepared to show an actual photo of Al Strada. Then Mike Joseph says that he believed it was Elvis Presley up until the last year and that he changed his mind based on what George Klein said about the cousin, Jimmy, and what Joe said. Extremely flimsy explanations by both Joe and Mike Joseph AND CONTRADICTORY TO BOOT. This show was done in a very disrespectful and aggressive manner toward Gail. Larry King denied that he had the tape of Mike Joseph saying it was Elvis in the photo….even though Gail had sent a copy of the tape to Larry before the show. Also, Mike Joseph says he would like for her to play that tape…as if to say it does not exist.

Tourists kicked out of Graceland after man jumps into Elvis’s pool
British tourists labeled ‘disrespectful’ after jumping into the pool – but they argue people are just ‘jealous’
The pool, located in Elvis Presley’s Meditation Garden, is the final stop on the mansion tour and is sectioned off for tourists to look at, rather than swim in. Right next to the pool in the meditation garden, is a memorial area, where Elvis himself and his family member lay to rest.
The video sparked a huge backlash online, with many commenters saying how disrespectful the couple had been to Elvis’ home.
Another video posted after, which gained 2 million views, saw Mr Murphy jumping out of the pool and over the fence. Someone off-camera says as someone says: “You’re not allowed in there! You’re not allowed to do that!”
Mr Murphy replied, “You serious?” Then you can hear his wife argue: “Elvis didn’t stop anyone!”
After this, it shows Mr Purcell and his family being escorted off the Graceland premises.
The videos also garnered a lot of hate comments directed towards Mr Purcell and his wife.
In a response video posted on TikTok, Ms Murphy came back at her commenters, arguing that it cannot be disrespectful to jump into a pool because “Elvis caught someone jumping in his pool once and he never stopped them. He never got them arrested, told them to stay in the pool.”
She also said that: “That’s what a pool is meant for, to jump into. That’s why we never got arrested.”
She continued: “It’s not my fault you never got the nerve and never got the chance to jump in his pool. So I feel like you are jealous.”
She explains that she and her husband are self-confessed Elvis fans.
Another video also shows that jumping into the pool may have not been the first time the family has been in trouble with Graceland.
A video posted on 5 July shows the family driving up Elvis’ driveway. You can hear Ms Murphy say “driving up to Elvis’ house” and giggling. A group of security guards come across the lawn to tell the family to turn around.
In 1957, when Elvis Presley was 22, he purchased Graceland and its grounds for just over $100,000. The estate was turned into a tourist attraction in 1982, after which many fans would take on this pilgrimage to Elvis Presley’s home.

There’s history there.

I realize that I don’t get too much recognition for all the documentation I have provided regarding Elvis’ connection to Orion Pictures Corp. or to Orion the singer. But this was something that I really loved and spent much of my time years ago researching. I was always so excited and thrilled when I found a new bit of proof. I got to thinking just the other day about the day that I found one of the very best pieces of proof while researching Orion at our local library. Way back then we did not have a computer. Below is what I found and I still get tickled just remembering the thrill of finding this.
Orion Pictures Corporation (1985) (USA) (theatrical)
| COUNTRY | DATE | |
|---|---|---|
| France | 15 May 1985 | |
| USA |
16 August1985 | |
| Australia | 24 October 1985 |
Then years later there was this:
Orion Pictures dodges bankruptcy on August 16, 1991 (A little bit like faking one’s death and living on.)
What a wonderful adventure I have had!!

Jesse called me late Sunday afternoon for a short chat. He is doing pretty well and sounds good. He is very frustrated with his phone which has been giving him trouble. There is no news to share other than that speaking with him was the highlight of my day as always. I am always just so happy to know that he is alright.

Just a note to my visitors:
I am embarrassed and apologetic that there is no more work done on the site again this week. We are having a nightmare with UPS not being able to deliver to our new address and it has me just about crazy from frustration and aggravation. It has taken up untold hours of my time.
It took a little over 2 weeks for us to get a 2-day air package from UPS. We had to go to their hub here in our county to pick it up which required us to drive over a total of 100 miles to make 3 trips. I have spent countless hours on the UPS website and on chats with Amazon about the package.
And now today, we have gotten the very same late delivery notice from UPS about another package that was supposed to be delivered to us today via 1-day air. I have just lost about another hour of my time trying to deal with this!!!!
A word to the wise…UPS as a company has changed and I will NEVER knowingly do business with them again.
Sorry for the rant.

In February 1976, RCA dispatched a mobile recording unit to Graceland and transformed the large room into a temporary recording studio (the shag carpeting acting as a natural sound absorber).

The songs that were recorded are believed to have been released from Elvis Presley Boulevard in Memphis, Tennessee. Another session would be held that October. It would prove to be the last before his death less than one year later. Four tracks featured from these dates were released on the posthumous album, Moody Blue.
Fans who want to get in on the action can RSVP to the New York City event being hosted at Pekarna in the Upper West Side for their chance to get a taste of Memphis in the city.
Boston and Chicago residents can sign up on Memphis Tourism’s website to stay up to date when reservations go live in their city.

Just want to share with everyone that Jesse called me a little bit ago and it was so good to hear his voice. He is doing pretty well. He is still having trouble with his phone so he had to call once and then call back again. We did not talk for a long time but I sure did enjoy his call.
I turned 77 today so his call could not have come at a better time to light up my birthday. Old age and bad health are certainly taking a toll on me…phew!!! Where did all those years go?!
<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>
Speaking of old age and bad health, I want to apologize to anyone who has sent emails to me and not gotten a response from me. Because of the pain in my hands/arms/shoulders, etc., and the trouble with my eyes, I just don’t spend as much time on the computer as I have in the past. I ask everyone to forgive me and understand.

I am sharing the following video because I think Jesse will enjoy hearing the reminiscing about his travels and shows back in the 1950s.
