Remembering Elvis

____________ Enemies in the Midst?___________

The worst enemies Elvis had were those whom he trusted
and who turned on him. Then there were those who knew him but not well enough. All for the money, no doubt.

Then the matter of family members who became the worst
of enemies by turning against Elvis AFTER he was gone.

Sadly, these family members seem to have shown no remorse for their doings and that is because some of them
feel Elvis "owed" them. As if Elvis had not done enough
for them while he was supporting their every whim.
Maybe some have regrets now, maybe some do not.

Jerry Presley, an ETA and a distant relative of Elvis, has long boasted his claim to being Elvis 2nd cousin and has
gained his status in the Elvis world by intimating his
closeness to Elvis and the family, which is entirely untrue.

The Kin of Rock and Roll has discussed these untruths
with Jerry who has chosen to ignore them entirely. What
is even more shocking is an interview Jerry gave, a
portion of which we show here.

Jerry is one relative who has chosen to abuse the Presley
name by deceiving people and giving purposeful mis-
information about the family history. He is NOT a
grandchild of Rosella Pressley, nor do any of her living
family know who Jerry Presley is. According to Jerry,
Rosella was married to his grandfather, John Presley.

Rosella was not only not married, the father of her
children was John Wallace, not John Presley. We urge
Jerry to start telling the true story as we tell it here, and
as it really is.

The Kin of Rock and Roll would like to know:

Why was Jerry Presley presented with the posthumous award for Elvis Presley on the latter's induction into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame in Memphis on August 13th, 2007. The award should have been presented to either members of Elvis' immediate family and/or to actual family that he had, indeed, been close to and not to someone who was not close to Elvis and who does not speak the truth about the Presley family. It is the mission of The Kin of Rock and Roll to catalogue and maintain the true history of the Presley family. We cannot and do not tolerate purposely falsified claims.

Let it be known that Jerry Presley has not been truthful to the Presley family legacy or to Elvis and we are saddened to think that his associations in the music industry may have gained for him false recognition as a suitable "replacement" and spokesperson for and on behalf of Elvis Presley.
