Morph video of photos of Elvis from his life created by the Kin of Rock and Roll.

Elvis' Kin included Some Famous Folks

Elvis was amazed by the extent of his family roots. He was always interested in finding out who his family was, however, what he may not have known is that quite a few famous celebrities were kin to him! You might be surprised to learn who is related to Elvis.

Cousin Don Helms was the steel guitar player for Hank Williams. He was one of Hank's original Drifting Cowboys shown here in this video. Don was the last surviving member of the group, but he is gone now, too. RIP Don. Barbara Lee had the chance to meet and talk with Bernice Turner, the dear lady who replaced Don Helms, for a time, when Don enlisted in the US Army. Amazingly, Bernice was good friends with Elvis, and had purchased most of his original furniture from the 1950's. In the photo below, Don Helms is at right.

A Winchester cousin, Jesse Winchester, from Memphis, is also of the Lee family from Virginia. Sad to say, for whatever his reasons were, Jesse dodged the draft during the Vietnam War and headed to Canada. Coming from a long line of brave, patriotic, military men, he stands alone in the family line owing to his views. He did, however, have a gentle voice and was a gentle soul. He is proclaimed as one of the great songwriters in music history.
