This thread has caused me look at the bio of Tom Parker.

He was an illegal immigrant to USA and couldn't risk applying for a passport for tours outside USA. So that is why Elvis only performed one such tour - in Canada - at a time when passports weren't needed for the visit.

He was eligible for a passport, through military service & marriage.

It was a reason,that everyone supposed why he didn't take elvis on a world tour, but someone as shrewd as Tom Parker, would have been aware of his eligibility.

Elvis is also reported to have credited his success and fame to him too

Just showing how petty you are, posting "put downs " after every post.

And yes we established your dislike of me weeks ago, who are you reminding? Me...... I don't care, everyone else......they are probably sick of it!

I will say this once more, your opinion of me matters none, I don't care if you don't like me, simple get over it, I have.

Please explain?

The only thing I have done is had to suffer, you and your pals whimsical remarks every time I post.

But carry on, because that's the norm on here isn't it

Oh thank you, with that comment anyone even yer most ardent supporters can see what utter crap n bull you talk, its easily checked,if folk can be bothered to see that many of yer posts i have ignored completely, some early uns i was even pleasant, n some i agree have been put downs, its you who are after brownie points as yeh call em, by posting about yer support in P.M.s n the like, i don't need to post owt like that, cos i don't need support to have n honest opinion.

I have been there myself many times, never saw Elvis though, only the man who unloaded my tanker loaded with Trichloroethylene. It was used as an industrial degreaser years ago, it was banned because it was highly carcinogenic. I live to tell the tale.

You being snickety? Fact is Colonel Tom Parker was a con merchant - very clever though obviously, but had a very mixed up background - aparently could have been a murderer, lied about being an army Colonel and so on.

From what I read he got into showbusiness working on fairgrounds, then got into promoting Rock n Roll gigs then came across Elvis.

Bet you didn't know that cashy!?
