Greg McDonald met Elvis Presley as a youngster when he came to change the air filter in the King of Rock ’n’ Roll’s Palm Springs rental home. The curious singer asked him questions about his life and told him to stop by his manager Col. Tom Parker’s nearby house to change his air filter, too. It was a meeting that would change McDonald’s life forever.
In his new memoir, Elvis and the Colonel, McDonald, who worked for Col. Tom for four decades, seeks to separate the reality from the myth about the two men’s legendary partnership. “The real Tom Parker was nowhere near his public persona,” he shares. In fact, the Colonel had a warm, almost paternal relationship with Elvis. “They really loved and respected each other,” Marshall Terrill, the book’s co-author, tells Closer.
