About Mel Priddle
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
For 50 years I have been listening to, buying and searching into the music of Elvis Presley. If you have a question relating to any song that Elvis recorded (officially, unofficially or privately), then I guarantee to give you an answer. Likewise with his movies. Questions relating to Elvis' private life I prefer to leave to others.

Experience
Ex-cinema manager, film publicist, record merchandiser, and Elvis music lover since 1955.
