A Caring Colonel

I recently saw the TV movie “Elvis and the Colonel: The Untold Story” (NBC, Jan. 11) and I thought it was ridiculous. I have known Col. Parker for many years and I was also one of several acts that were on the concert bill before Elvis was presented. I was a lyric tenor.

As far as I’m concerned, if it hadn’t been for Parker’s (able) management of Elvis, he would have remained a truck driver in Tupelo, Miss.
