What Elvis Presley thought of his fame?
Elvis was always appreciative of his fame (i.e. to God, his fans, those who worked with him, his family, his manager, etc.).
Even though Elvis (sadly) could not go out in public and do "normal things" Elvis never resented this and was most certainly the most photographed, and signed the most autographs, of any entertainer who ever lived.
Elvis always questioned "why has God chosen me" and he shared with others his concern "will my fans ever remember me when I die" and "if you cut me I will bleed".
Elvis was always appreciative of the monetary benefits his fame brought him and consistently shared his money with those close to him...and even strangers. For every charitable act that Elvis performed that was made public he made many more in private.
Elvis always wanted to give his fans his best and he always said, when asked why he sang so long and performed so energetically, that "some of these people have never seen me live before and they have paid their hard earned money to see me now" and "I want to give them a show they will never forget".

This was an ugly made up rumor back in 1958 and the details were exposed in a book years ago titled "Refried Elvis". Actress Elsa Cardenas also worked with him in a movie and addressed this saying in an interview that most Mexicans should know by now there was no truth in this rumour. She went on to say Elvis was one of the kindest and most open minded people she worked with in Hollywood. Same thing happened with a made up rumor among African American community back in in the 1950s. We now know it was a made up rumor to make people not like him, but everyone believed it ... some still do unfortunately, even though many blues musicians and black friends defended him, many people thought of him has a racist. These were just terrible rumors made up by mean spirited people that were jealous of Elvis success and wanted to spread hatred. by all accounts of people that new him no matter what nationality or race they were, Elvis liked everyone.
How much are old vinyl records worth from the 30 and 4o 50?
It depends on the condition of the record, and if it's an LP, the cover. As well, it depends on the collectability of the record itself. If you have a question about a particular record, it would be easier to answer. Check out a used record store and ask them what they would pay for "album x". Most 2d hand stores or antique stores are offering vinyl LP's at $1.00 and they aren't selling very fast.
