JEWISH INFLUENCE ON ELVIS, 'THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL'

Hard to believe that the timeless icon, Elvis Presley, would be turning 90 this week if he hadn't died so young. Behind Elvis' larger-than-life persona, was a real human being pondering the meaning of life. And his dear friend, so-called rabbi and hairdresser, Larry Geller, is keeping Elvis' legacy alive. Geller is the one who introduced Elvis to Jewish spirituality, leading him to not only don a Jewish Chai necklace, but also placing a Magen David on his mother's grave. His mother Gladys, who revealed to young Elvis, that they come from an uninterrupted maternal line of Jewish women. #ELVISLIVES #Elvisbirthday #larrygeller #elvisjews #Elvis90
