‘When I was playing at the Flamingo Hotel in 1969, I went to his room and played for him.
I remember him telling me,
"You know, Fats, I'm opening tomorrow, but when I first got here, I failed!"

‘But when Elvis came back, everything was gold and every night was packed.
Boy, could he sing.
He could sing spirituals, country and western, everything he sang I liked.
Elvis Presley did a lot ,before he passed away.
He made films, he was traveling on tours.
I don't see how he did it; you would have to stay awake day and night. ‘
- Fats Domino, recalling his relationship with Elvis in an interview with Michael Hurtt for Backtalk magazine and published on June 1, 2004
