Episode 9 Terry Blackwood

Terry Blackwood comes from a musical family and heritage that has roots in the same southern churches where Elvis spent his early years. In fact as Terry tells Mark and Kevin, he first met Elvis when he was a young boy and Elvis was lending his pink cadillac to Terry's father Doyle for his election campaign. 

Terry's musical career brought him to Elvis years later as a member of The Imperials, the vocal group backing Elvis during his Las Vegas residency. Terry shares some incredible stories of time spent with Elvis and people like Mama Cass and Tom Jones. He takes us behind the scenes as the drama of a death threat unfolds on stage and spending Christmas at Graceland. Terry shares these priceless memories and more.       

Hosts Mark Andrew and Kevin Hillier take you inside the Kingdom with access to the people who were there when the legend was at his highest and lowest. Hear amazing Elvis stories from  staff, friends, fans, fellow musicians, promoters and some sources that will surprise.  Mark Andrew has been paying homage to Elvis in his live tribute shows for decades and Kevin has been playing Elvis songs on the radio for even longer. They are the perfect combination to bring Elvis to the fans, old and new.
