Colonel Tom Parker's home (former)
|
| | Name: | Colonel Tom Parker's home (former) | | Description: | "Colonel" Tom Parker (born Andreas Cornelis (Dries) van Kuijk on June 26, 1909 – January 21, 1997), was a Dutch entertainment impresario known best as the manager of Elvis Presley. For many years Parker claimed to have been U.S. born, but it eventually emerged that he was born in Breda, Netherlands to Dutch parents. His management of Elvis Presley re-wrote the role of the manager and was seen as central to the astonishing success of Presley's career. He displayed a ruthless devotion to his client's interests, took 50% of his earnings, and piloted Elvis to global superstardom. Presley said of Parker: "I don't think I would have been very big with another man. Because he's a very smart man." | | More Info: | Link |
