Presley's manager was Colonel Tom Parker.
That wasn't his real name. He wasn't even
American, but he had a peculiar sauce.
It made Elvis Presley a superstar.
Mike Stone thinks he was worth his.
Super commission.

When you're in show business, It's good to have Svengali, individual who manages, leads and helps make your career.
In fact, without specified Svengala, many well-known artists would never have reached the first base in the music or movie industry.
Cher had Sonny Bono, a hit songwriter, without whom she would never have achieved anything.
Sex Pistols had Malcolm McLaren, who created the group from scratch.
Frankie Avalon and Fabian had Idolmaker himself, Bob Marcucci, who built their careers.
The Beatles had Brian Epstein, who managed their careers, and any would say Theodore Adorno wrote all their songs.
Bono, McLaren, Marcucci, Epstein and Adorno (if he wrote songs for the Beatles) were straight liable for the success of their subjects.
Of course, not all Svengali gets along well with all ward.
Paul Snider brutally murdered Dorothy Stratten.
Tippi Hedren, commenting on 1 thing no 1 in Hollywood was allowed to comment on, called Alfred Hitchcock "fat pig."
And Elvis Presley frequently clashed with possibly the top Svengali of them all - Colonel Tom Parker.
Colonel who was never a colonel.

Colonel Tom Parker was never a real colonel, his name was not Tom Parker and he was not an American citizen.
He was born Andreas Cornelius van Kuijk in the Netherlands in 1909 and emigrated illegally to the United States at the age of twenty.
As for the rank of Colonel, it was an honorary title given to him by Louisiana politician Jimmy Davis for helping to elect Davis.
In a fake amusement country, nobody resented Parker.

Eventually, anyone who could aid Davis, a vocalist without political experience, be elected governor, and consequently come up with a fresh life in specified a spectacular way, deserved to be named "Colonel".
Davis wrote and recorded an immortal song "You Are My Sunshine".
Parker met Elvis Presley in 1955 and rapidly became his"special advisor"and then manager.
Parker met Elvis Presley in 1955 and rapidly became his"special advisor"and then manager.
due to the fact that Presley was underage, his parents had to sign Parker.
A contract that gave Colonel Presley 50% of his earnings – for life.
When people outside the show business, and even any naive people in the show business, proceeding about it, immediately refuse.

The thought of giving 50% of their earnings to a manager sounds like fraud, especially erstwhile the standard rate is 10%.
However, it must be remembered that Parker was straight liable for Presley's immense success.
Without Parker, there's no Elvis Presley we know today.
It was Parker who helped Elvis leave Sun Records and sign RCA Victor, where he immediately became an artist who sold in millions of copies.
It was Parker who helped Elvis leave Sun Records and sign RCA Victor, where he immediately became an artist who sold in millions of copies.
Parker was the 1 who convinced Elvis to make the movies, and then determined and negotiated these deals.
It was Parker who restored Elvis' career to the right track after he was discharged from the military.
He was worth all penny of his 50% commission.
Presley and Parker fought a lot.
Presley and Parker fought a lot.
In 1973, after a immense backstage argument, Presley fired Parker, who said, "You can't fire me, I quThis is what's going on"
After 2 weeks of exchange, however, they decided to keep business relations.
Parker remained Presley's manager until his death, then led Presley's property and sold dozens of Elvis products.
Sam Parker died at 87.
You prey on the young?
It's interesting how Parker and the another Svengali are curious in youth.

Elvis was 20 erstwhile he met his future manager, Parker.
Cher was a 16-year-old girl erstwhile she met Sonny Bono.
Both Frankie Avalon and Fabian were teenagers erstwhile Bob Marcucci appeared in their lives.
Dorothy Stratten was seventeen and worked at Dairy Queen erstwhile Paul Snider promised to make her a star.
The basic presumption that Svengali finds a talented young man and leads him to success is as old as"The Birth of a Star".

Companies like Walt Disney institutionalized this process.
If you want to mark your mark on the planet as Svengali, find yourself a talented young teenager who will represent him and sign a management contract with him.

Of course, if you look at history"Godfather" Mario Puzo, you may find yourself confronted by individual else who has an interest in your client's future; stakes higher than yours;
Someone who has no qualms to make you an offer that can't be denied.
