When I was a kid in the early 70's a neighbor of mine went to a car dealership to see Elvis. Of course there was a big crowd. She was poor and I assume looked so. I didn't witness this myself but the talk of the neighborhood got around to me. But Elvis saw her and asked her if she wanted a car. He gave her a Cadillac. Now all the talk around the neighborhood was just a rumor. But how she got that Cadillac was a mystery.

Love Dionne Warwick - always a Class act. Anyone who is a fan of hers will have read her excellent and very enlightening autobiography "My Life, As I see It" published in 2010 in which THIS lovely video-clip story is also included. The Sweet Inspirations actually evolved from a group called The Gospelaires which Dionne formed as a teenager with her sister in 1957 & of which Myrna Smith & Estelle Brown were also former original members. Another connection Dionne shared with Elvis is that her former husband, actor & drummer, the late Bill Elliot appeared with Elvis in his final scripted movie "Change of Habit in 1969. Her memoirs is a great read !
