I sat with Elvis in his suite at the Las Vegas Hilton and watched him weep over what an outsider Dave talked Sonny and Red into doing. Dave wasn't part of the Memphis Mafia. He was a karate guy w ties to Ed Parker and Mike Stone who Priscilla left Elvis for.
Vernon had fired Sonny and Red due to lawsuits
They caused for various reasons.
He had supported both Red and Sonny since his career began. I knew them both.
