  • EP 229 - From Elvis to Elvira, the legendary Bass Singer of The Stamps and The Oak Ridge Boys
    Richard Sterban is the legendary bass singer of the Oak Ridge Boys and prior to joining The Oaks in 1972, Richard sang with various groups, eventually joining J.D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet, which afforded him the opportunity of a lifetime—the chance to sing with Elvis Presley and singing with him every night on stage as well as recording with the greatest entertainer in music history.
     
    It was during this time in the midst of Elvis’ heyday that Richard was offered the position as bass singer for The Oak Ridge Boys, and he had to make a major decision—remain on the big stage or chase his own dream.
     
    Well, 50 years later with numerous awards and over 41 million albums sold, and being inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. I would say it was worth chasing his own dream. 
     
    Let’s welcome the one of the most legendary bass singers in the history of music, the one and only Richard Sterban!

  • EP 228 - Elvis the Friend, the Giver, the Searcher by his friend, TG Sheppard
    TG Sheppard met Elvis one night in Memphis when he was 15 years old at a roller rink. TG ran away from home and was living on the street. Then Elvis showed up that fateful night.

You will hear not about the entertainer, but the man, the giver, the searcher, the friend. 
     
    T.G. Sheppard has always had an unstoppable passion for music. This passion along with 21 number one hits and being ranked among the top 100 country artists of ALL TIME has made him one of the most popular live performers on tour today. It's only natural with a show chock full of chart-topping hits like "Last Cheater’s Waltz", "I Loved 'Em Everyone", "Do You Wanna Go To Heaven", and "Party Time" that T.G. has developed a reputation as a solid performer who delivers exactly what audiences want. 
     
    TG Sheppard has given multiple performances at the White House and regular guest on the Grand Ole Opry. 
     
    The country music legend is celebrating the 40th anniversary of his 1982 album “Finally.” The title track became Sheppard’s tenth number one song, and proceeded to remain at the number one spot for a total of ten weeks. Other hits include “Only One You,” and fan favorites “Crazy In The Dark,” “In Another Minute,” and more.
     
    Sheppard is the host of “The T.G. Sheppard Show” on SiriusXM’s Prime Country, which features some of entertainment’s most well-known names where he interviews his close friends and guests such as Priscilla Presley, Travis Tritt, Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie, Sir Barry Gibb and more.

  • EP 226 - Jerry Schilling: Elvis’ Most Loyal Friend Gives an In-Depth View of the King
    Jerry Schilling met Elvis when he was just a boy and Elvis was a teenager. He met him on one of the last weekends before Elvis became “ELVIS”.
     
    Jerry knew Elvis for twenty-three years, and in those years he grew up with him, lived with him, worked for him, learned from him, laughed with him, and shared one amazing experience after another.
     
    Jerry Schilling is more than being a close friend to Elvis Presley. Jerry is a movie and television producer, a film editor, the manager of The Beach Boys and so much more. 
     
    Priscilla Presley said “Jerry Schilling is authentic, honest, a purity of a man who truly loved his friend Elvis.” 
     
    Lisa Marie Presley says “Jerry tells the story of her father with humility, honesty and dignity.” 
     
    Even Bono of U2 was quoted to say “Jerry Schilling brought grace to Graceland.” 
     
    Jerry Schilling’s life has spanned from the early days of Guthrie Park playing football with Elvis in North Memphis to standing in the White House with the most powerful man in the United States and I’m not talking about President Nixon, I am talking about the greatest entertainer in the world, Elvis Presley.
     
    Without further a due, let’s welcome the closest and most loyal friend to Elvis, the man himself, Jerry Schilling.

  • EP 225 - Friend of the King and Legendary TV and Radio Host, Wink Martindale
    Wink Martindale was a very close friend of Elvis. They met the very night Sam Phillips walked into that Memphis radio station with “That’s All Right Mama” that catapulted Elvis Presley’s stardom. Wink tells the story of that incredible night and how Memphis is the true city of rock and roll. Wink is the last survivor of the six people at the radio station that night. Now watch and listen to the rest of the story. 
     
    Wink Martindale’s fascination with radio began during childhood. Classmates may have aspired to being doctors, firemen or policemen. Wink just wanted to be a radio announcer. 
     
    His former Sunday school teacher managed a 250 Watt radio station back in the day and he gave Wink his first on-air job at $25 a week.
     
    His radio dream was fully realized in 1971 when he began a 12 year run as the midday personality on Gene Autry’s flagship “Station of the Stars”, KMPC. Along the way there was his teen oriented “Dance Party” from Pacific Ocean Park, a gold record, the narrative “Deck of Cards”, an appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show, and 21 game shows that Wink either hosted or produced including “Trivial Pursuit”, “Can You Top This”, “High Rollers”, “Debt”, “Gambit”, and the long-running “Tic-Tac-Dough”.
     
    Let’s welcome the man, the icon, the legend without equal in the history of radio and television, the one and only Wink Martindale!
