His experiences with Elvis and of being a fan in Memphis when Elvis was alive simply must be heard to be believed! Steve gave Elvis a police badge for his collection, and attended many movie showings when Elvis would rent the theater out. He became good friends with several of the Memphis Mafia, including Sonny West - and brought a number of special Sonny West items to the Spring Festival, including the jacket Sonny wore when he was with Elvis at the White House to meet President Nixon! Steve took questions from the audience, and joined in Sunday’s Jam session, as well!Steve Barile:Steve Barile is a life-long, passionate Elvis Presley fan and collector from New York City, and has been so for over SIX DECADES! He was lucky enough to see Elvis live in concert SEVEN times between 1972 and 1977, including the wildly popular afternoon show at Madison Square Garden - which was later released by BMG/RCA as “An Afternoon In The Garden.” In addition to this, Steve has been providing Elvis’s record label, Sony Music, and the official Elvis collector label, Follow That Dream (FTD) Records, with photographic images for their products since 1997, and was featured in their “Artist Of The Century” campaign. He was the author/co-author of two books: “Something For Everybody” and “Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite.”His collection of rare and unseen Elvis footage is of special note, as he brought rare footage from his collection to show everyone that has NEVER been seen before officially!
