“Elvis Presley was
always drawn to Chuck Berry’s music. Presley sidekick Jerry Schilling saw it
happen spontaneously one night in 1972. Schilling was with Elvis and Sammy
Davis Jr. as they walked through the lobby of the Las Vegas Hilton. “We heard a
very familiar Chuck Berry intro,” Schilling recalls. “And Sammy and Elvis just
looked at each other, and with a smile, we all just turned around without
anything being said, and we headed for the lounge.” After taking a booth in the
lounge where Chuck was playing, Elvis began yelling out song requests. Some of
those titles Elvis had himself recorded during his career.”
