Why was Elvis Presley important to the south?

Elvis was born and raised in the South. Much of Elvis' family, on both sides of his family, were born and raised in the South as well. Elvis loved going to Church and singing the gospel songs some of which he would later record when he became older. Each year Elvis gave fifty charities monies ranging from a thousand dollar check to some as large as tens of thousands of dollars. Elvis taught everyone in the World, including the South, that one could come from being dirt poor and by using your talents and working hard that you can succeed. Elvis, as an adult, made his home at Graceland, in Memphis. Elvis loved Memphis. Elvis was important even when it came to race relations because he was truly "color blind" and anyone who knew Elvis have done countless interviews of Elvis love, caring, support, and standing up for those in need.


Who was ginger in Elvis's life?

Ginger was Elvis' girlfriend, who was living with Elvis at Graceland, at the time (sadly) of Elvis' passing on August 16, 1977. Ginger had a "similar look" to Priscilla and yet Ginger was born and raised in Memphis Tennessee where Elvis lived at Graceland. Elvis met her when she was 20 after Elvis had invited her family to go to the fairgrounds (note: Elvis knew her Father as he was Elvis' Army Induction Officer when Elvis was drafted into the Army) along with two of her older sisters (Terry was the current Miss Tennessee). After meeting Ginger their relationship blossomed and according to Ginger Elvis asked her to marry him in January of 1977. This account has been disputed by various members of the Memphis Mafia by the way.
