Elvis' Best Friend-- Part 6

After Joe Esposito got out of the Army, he drove from Chicago to Memphis and visited Elvis at Graceland.  After that he was with Elvis Presley all the time as his road manager and personal manager.  He became part of the Memphis Mafia, Elvis' inner circle of friends.

That was Joe you saw walking Elvis to the stage at every one of his shows.

"We used to play jokes on each other all the time.  We'd pull over on the road and hit each oher just for exercise.  I have photos after we'd beat each other up, my arms were black and red.

Joe was best man at Elvis' wedding to Priscilla and had been there in Germany when the couple first met.
