Priscilla has opened up about Elvis’ songs on multiple occasions. In her book Elvis and Me, she said she had a copy of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s first album before meeting him. She remembers hearing his early hit “Blue Suede Shoes” and becoming a fan.
After meeting her future husband, she remembers playing songs like “Old Shep,” “I Was the One,” and “I Want You, I Need You, I Love You” nonstop while waiting to see him again. Her father found this annoying, as she was seeing Elvis so often anyway. He thought Priscilla would want to take a break from the “I Want You, I Need You, I Love You” singer. None of these songs were included in Elvis’ debut album, meaning Priscilla had multiple Elvis records. Elsewhere in the book, she says she preferred his fast paced songs like “Jailhouse Rock.”
