Answer 3

Elvis had an imaginary jam session with the Beatles. John recalled it in "The Lost Lennon Tapes". The remaining Beatles claimed to never have jammed with Elvis.

Answer 4

Bet you didn't know that since Elvis' blood type is "O"

Also bet you didn't know that:
-according to the "Japanese blood type theory of personality" his best traits was that he was: Ambitious, athletic, robust and self-confident and a natural leader. His worst traits were: being arrogant, vain, insensitive and ruthless.

(It is popularly believed in Japan that a person's ABO blood type or ketsu eki gata is predictive of their personality, character, and compatibility with others. This belief has carried over to certain extent in other parts of East Asia such as South Korea and Taiwan. In Japan, asking someone their blood type is considered as normal as asking their astrological sign in other countries. Though this theory is dismissed by many scientists as superstition or pseudoscience, this has done little to erode popular belief in it.)
-------------------------------

Also bet you didn't know that:
-because he's O (I don't know if he's was O- or O+)
he could donate blood to anybody but could only receive blood from very few people. If he was "O-" then he could only receive blood from an "O-" donor. If he was "O+" then he could only receive blood from an "O-" or an "O+" an donor. Any other blood type would kill him.

If he was O- he was in a small grouping (7% of the US pop. are "O-")
If he was O+ he was in a larger grouping (38% of the US pop. are "O+")


Also bet you didn't know that:
- the blood type most often requested by hospitals is Type O
so his blood would have been in great demand.


Also bet you didn't know that:
-this also means that both of his parents were type O.

Answer 5

AFter he died, before he was released from the hospital for his funeral, his roots (grey) were colored in with mascara.

He recorded over 750 songs.

He never wore jeans after he became famous because they reminded him of how poor he used to be.

His mother died at 42.

His grandmother (minnie mae) outlived him and his father.

He had really bad stage fright.

His middle name was originally ARon to go along with his twin's middle Garon. Later in life when Elvis was really spiritual, Elvis had his middle name spelling changed to Aaron. This is why it is spelled that way on his grave.

He donated to thousands of charities each year.

He bought his daughter a diamond ring for Christmas and a fur coat. Her mother wouldn't let her have them.

He never toured outside the US because Tom Parker told him it would "hurt his image."
