maryportfuncity 10,684 Posted July 24, 2017 Re the Memphis Mafia: there are still some obitable members above ground probs worth watching amongst them - cos they'll get written about when they go even on a busy news day - are Judy Spreckels (early girlfriend), Jerry Schilling (long time member) and Larry Geller (Elvis' hairdresser and spiritual advisor - much hated by the likes of Col Tom Parker because of the influence he had on Elvis) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's a mail editor who lurks here, the mirror article last time appeared after a mail article on the same death didn't it (so the likelihood is we have a "friend" at the mail and the mirror use the mail as source). Speaking of which dear friend at the mail. any chance of a story on Zoltan Sarosy - the hungarian chess master; you could do it as one of your puff pieces "the chess master the world forgot in his old age". Also hang on didn't Spade mention he was a journalist yonks back; are you at the Mail Spade? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,637 Posted July 24, 2017 Nope, I am within walking distance of the Mirror's offices though. Might pop my head around the corner and tell them to hurry up on ol' Jagraj. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,071 Posted July 6, 2018 Jim Malloy, a recording engineer, publisher and producer, died Thursday. Over the course of his career — first in Hollywood, then Nashville — Malloy worked with a staggering list of legends, including Elvis Presley (who called him the "best engineer anywhere as far as I'm concerned"), Duke Ellington, Johnny Cash, Henry Mancini and Dolly Parton. Mega Records President Brad McCuen, left, and producer Jim Malloy flank singer Sammi Smith at a party June 28, 1971, in her honor on the side wheeler Belle Carol. The party was held to commemorate Smith's smash hit recording of Kris Kristofferson's "Help Me Make It Through the Night." Kristofferson, touring the Northeast, sent a dozen yellow roses. He won a Grammy Award in 1964 for engineering Mancini's "Charade" and was nominated for five more Grammys that decade for his work on Presley's "How Great Thou Art," Eddy Arnold's "The Last Word in Lonesome is Me," "The Latin Sound of Henry Mancini," "Pink Panther" and "The Addams Family Main Theme."
