John Grier, for MYAJC, recalling his attending one of Elvis' 4 back to back performances at Atlanta's Paramount Theatre on June 23, 1956, as published on 9 January 2016.
“

One looked familiar, then I remembered the picture my girlfriend had shown me. ‘Are you Elvis Presley?’ I asked. ‘I surely am,’ he replied. I asked for his autograph and got it. When I gave it to my girlfriend, she fainted.
