He had a very unique personality ,we couldn't see except the crust of it but his music showed it well, a very nice decent guy with thirsty mind for learning and exploring the new areas of life, hide in a colourful sparkling outfits to hide inside, no body could get nearer to the person but a chosen few, mostly not chosen by him!
At first the stardom hit him hard, stroke his family with money ,fame, and all that lights, they never recovered, as he said before. But inspite of all this he was a legend in his own time and the present and predictably to the future!
In the army every thing was changed again in a glance, he was separated from his beloved family ,from his established life that started to have a meaning, but sadly his mother died of acute hepatitis, his milestone was lost in a minute , may be he never recovered from that till his end, she was his beloved and armor sometimes, remember she held the Colonel teeth away from him at that time! Also he discovered a new world, new friends even a new hoppy ;Karate which lasted with him till the end.
Those friends were different , they had the war in their minds ,more supmersed in the troubles of their own time and may be wilder in their acts, it is here where he got to know his future wife Priscilla , which stuck to his neck till the end, caused so much saddness that he was the never the same as before. But also we can't forget the lovely Lisa Marie which was the apple of his eye.
Somehow his life changed from the roots after his divorce, tried to balance it with playing around but his great success in the show business with Aloha from Hawaii, and the Tour concerts was beyond reality.
Yet being unable to go world wide due to Colonel Parker was a real loss!!
Inspit eof the hard knocks, he is the best entertainer ever and I think that what really mattered to him ,God bless his soul.
