Elvis Presley and Vikki Carr, backstage at the Tropicana | September 5, 1974
FECC Members click here to find out the truth about 'Dr John Carpenter' aka 'Johnny Savage'. His bias and deceit and much more. Real name is Johnny Saulovich he is a liar and a fraud.
Elvis Presley and Vikki Carr, backstage at the Tropicana - early Thursday, September 5, 1974. Vikki Carr had seen Elvis' Hilton show a few times, including the infamous closing night. On the recording of that show, Elvis complimented her from the stage, plugged her booking at the Tropicana, and even reprised an entire song she'd missed because she'd come directly from the Tropicana to see him perform: Elvis attended her late show on 9-04-1974.
Perhaps because of all this, and because Vikki was currently dating his Las Vegas doctor, Elias Ghanem, Elvis went and saw her a couple of days after finishing his work at the Hilton. According to news reports, Vikki was supposed to close on August 15th, but apparently got extended until September 12th because she was drawing so well.
Vikki hit biggest with the 1967 pop single 'It Must Be Him', and is also known for 'With Pen in Hand', and 'The Lesson.' She's been written about as the 'diminutive gal with the big voice, is attractive, sings with a good deal of feeling, and is everything you could want in a female vocalist.'
Her real name is Florencia Bisenta de Casillas Martinez Cardona, and one of the only female singers of Mexican-American heritage who made it to the top as a major recording and nightclub star. She turns 78 in July, and remains an active performer today!

Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD
Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. + Plus Bonus DVD Audio.
This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.
The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.
