EP 228 - Elvis the Friend, the Giver, the Searcher by his friend, TG Sheppard

TG Sheppard met Elvis one night in Memphis when he was 15 years old at a roller rink. TG ran away from home and was living on the street. Then Elvis showed up that fateful night. TG shares with us the most private moments of their 16 year friendship from the beginning to the day before Elvis passed away. You will hear not about the entertainer, but the man, the giver, the searcher, the friend.    T.G. Sheppard has always had an unstoppable passion for music. This passion along with 21 number one hits and being ranked among the top 100 country artists of ALL TIME has made him one of the most popular live performers on tour today. It's only natural with a show chock full of chart-topping hits like "Last Cheater’s Waltz", "I Loved 'Em Everyone", "Do You Wanna Go To Heaven", and "Party Time" that T.G. has developed a reputation as a solid performer who delivers exactly what audiences want.    TG Sheppard has given multiple performances at the White House and regular guest on the Grand Ole Opry.    The country music legend is celebrating the 40th anniversary of his 1982 album “Finally.” The title track became Sheppard’s tenth number one song, and proceeded to remain at the number one spot for a total of ten weeks. Other hits include “Only One You,” and fan favorites “Crazy In The Dark,” “In Another Minute,” and more.   Sheppard is the host of “The T.G. Sheppard Show” on SiriusXM’s Prime Country, which features some of entertainment’s most well-known names where he interviews his close friends and guests such as Priscilla Presley, Travis Tritt, Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie, Sir Barry Gibb and more. The T.G. Sheppard Show airs on SiriusXM’s Prime Country Channel 58 every Friday at 3pm ET and again on Saturdays at 12 am ET and Wednesdays at 12 pm ET.
