Did You Know........that several sources suggest
that
Elvis Presley paid a secret visit to London in
1958 to meet Tommy Steele. Tommy himself has
confirmed this, saying that he showed Elvis round
London (how did they not get recognised ?) but
others dispute the visit. Officially Elvis only ever set
foot in the UK once, at
Prestwick Aiport in Scotland
in 1960, where a  plaque has since been installed
to commemorate the earth-shattering event. If by
some remote chance you are interested in this,
start by clicking on
Tommy Steele and take it from
there.
