By 1966 Elvis Presley’s film career was in the doldrums, a fact he recognized all too painfully. Told he would have to sing the children’s ditty “Old MacDonald” for the movie Double Trouble, the King is said to have cried out: “It’s come to this?” And in 1967 he began production on Girl Happy, where the most influential figure in the history of rock-and-roll was ultimately reduced to imploring us to “dig right in and do the clam”—a would-be dance craze that never really caught fire, strangely enough.

At the same time, paradoxically, his personal life couldn’t have been happier. In the wee hours of May 1, 1967, Elvis and his longtime love, Priscilla Beaulieu, slipped away to Las Vegas and were married in a very private ceremony at the Aladdin Hotel. They returned later that afternoon to the house they’d been renting on Ladera Circle in Palm Springs. Originally built by the prolific local developer Robert Alexander for his wife, the home comprised four large circles of glass and stone set high on a hill, overlooking the Coachella Valley. After Elvis carried his bride over the threshold, the house instantly became known as the Honeymoon Hideaway.

“That was our getaway house,” recalls Priscilla Presley. Both before and after the wedding, she says, the house on Ladera Circle served as a luxuriously secluded decompression chamber for Elvis, whose life in Los Angeles seemed like a never-ending series of film shoots, recording sessions and meetings. “Once we started driving into Palm Springs, there was a calmness that took over. I always loved that feeling; we really needed that at the time. We went almost every weekend, or whenever Elvis had lots of stress.” They often traveled there by limousine, she says, but sometimes he would drive whichever car was his favorite at the moment.

In Los Angeles the couple had lived for a while in the Bel-Air neighborhood—until obsessive fans figured out that they could park their cars on the dead-end street above the house and peer through the windows with binoculars. It was an adamant Priscilla Presley who drove over to Beverly Hills to scout out a more private location. She finally found one on Hillcrest Road, where she and her husband—and, very soon, their new daughter, Lisa Marie—resided whenever the demands of Elvis’s career required him to be in Los Angeles.

California was where Elvis worked, Priscilla Presley maintains. But Graceland—the Memphis mansion that most people will always think of as Elvis’s home—was where his heart lay. “Memphis was playtime,” she says. It was there that her husband could be himself: fun and relaxed, away from Hollywood pressures, ensconced safely in his beloved South, not far from his Mississippi birthplace. “He was truly a free spirit, and a kid at heart. We’d watch movies at all hours of the night, roller-skate, go to the fairgrounds, go on roller coaster rides. We’d race go-karts up and down the front drive. We’d play badminton in the summer and have snowball fights in the winter. These were his ways of relaxing.”

This jam session was homerecorded between February 1966/early 1967 in Rocca Place Elvis' home, Hollywood. It was released for the first time by RCA/BMG on Platinum-A life in music 1997 box.

In the late 1960s Priscilla Presley was still in her early 20s and had already been coming to Graceland—and living there, off and on—for almost five years, ever since she’d entered the celebrity stratosphere as Elvis’s teenage girlfriend. To her, the fun and games that marked life at Graceland were nature, not nostalgia. “For me to adapt to that life, it wasn’t very difficult—I was still a kid! But when it came to work, that was a different ball game. Elvis was quite professional, did his job and did it well.”

Invariably, that meant returning to Los Angeles, where the cycle of film shoots, recording sessions and business meetings would begin anew. On weekends the Presleys would again escape to the Ladera Circle Honeymoon Hideaway—and later, to an Albert Frey house in the Chino Canyon section of Palm Springs that they purchased in 1970—but when they could, they went back to Graceland, which continued to be their preferred retreat until their marriage dissolved in 1972.

In 1979, two years after Elvis Presley’s death, Priscilla Presley, as his estate’s coexecutor, assumed control of Graceland. The house was costing the estate so much money that unless something dramatic was done, it would have to be sold. Even though her memories of life at Graceland were now laced with bittersweetness, Priscilla Presley couldn’t bear to let the house go. Then she had the idea of opening it to the public—an idea that not only saved the house but made it into a highly profitable venture.

“I wasn’t willing to lose it, so I just had to try something,” she says. “The alternative was unbearable. We had so many staff that still lived there and still maintained the home; they’d been with us for 20 years or more. I wanted to do what I felt Elvis would have wanted us to do, which was to save it. To keep it.” Today Graceland is the second-most-visited residence in America; only the White House can boast more visitors. And thus did the privacy-starved Presleys finally open up their home to millions of adoring fans from all over the world.

Beverly Hills

565 Perugia way.

This is the home where the famous meeting between Elvis and the Beetles took place. I believe this is the Bel Air mansion

525 Perugia Way, Bel Air, California

Elvis' first home in Hollywood, after he moved out of the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, was a home @ 525 Perugia Way, in Bel Air. The Asian-style house was designed by famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright and had once been owned by the Shah of Iran. The previous owners were Ali Kahn and his wife Rita Hayworth. Elvis moved to this home in 1960 and paid $1,400 a mo. in rent. This house was used in the 1988 tv mini series "Elvis and Me."
In November of 1961, Elvis moved out of the home and into 10539 Bellagio Road (no longer standing and a new larger home is in it's place, I have no photos of the old residence when Elvis lived there other then a view of Elvis and Pris in the backyard, the home sat on a famed Bel Air golf cours. For this reason I've not included this home in this gallery (no old photos exist), but returned to Perugia in January of '63 and stayed until late 1965.
This home is no longer standing a new one having been built in it's place.

144 Monovale

 Elvis's last home- sold in '75

144 Monovale-Holmby Hills, Los Angeles, California

Elvis purchase this home @ 144 Monovale for $339,000 in 1970. The 2 story home is surrounded by 2 acres of land and orange groves & was at one time owned by actor Robert Montgomery, father of Elizabeth Montgomery of the "Bewitched" TV series. It is located in the exclusive enclave of "Holmby Hills" which sits between Bel Air and Bevery Hills. The home came complete with pool table, soda fountain and a projection room. The entire estate was enclosed by a high security fence. After the Charles Manson murders in the area, Elvis was concerned fo his family's safety, and moved to this larger and more secure home which had plenty of room for his bodyguard Sonny West and his family. After his divorce from Priscilla, she stayed in this home for a brief time w/Lisa and Elvis moved back to Hillcrest. In 1975 Elvis sold this house for $625,000 to actor Telly Savalas. It is now owned by a private individual...and looks the same as it did back then. The property sits on a corner lot and the main street next to it is famed "Sunset Blvd.". :)
Priscilla has said this home was the one CA residence that approached the space available to them @ Graceland.
Yes these scans as well sent to the Pris Presley website owner, and once again no credit, and once again you can view the original scans here.:)
Sidenote: This home is approx. 5 min. from Pris Beverly Hills home.

That Historical event happened in California, Friday, August 27th 1965.
The Beatles arrived at Elvis’ home on 565 Perugia Way, Bel Air, around 10.00 p.m.
At the house was Elvis and Priscilla, Joe Esposito, his wife and a bunch of the guy's girlfriends, and wives.
Elvis and Priscilla met them at the door. After greeting them, They took them to the living room where there were members of the Memphis Mafia, Brian Epstein, Neil Aspinall, Mal Evans and Tony Barrow.
The room was large and circular. A huge color television was on in the middle of the room with the sound off, while a record player was playing the latest hit tunes.
They all just sat there and looked at Elvis. They didn't know what to say. It was really quiet with a degree of nervousness. That's when Elvis got up off the couch and said, "Look guys," "if you're just going to sit there and stare at me, I'm going to bed." He smiled, everyone laughed. “Let's talk and relax” he went on.
Ringo began to look through Elvis’ record collection while Brian and Colonel Parker began to chat. One of Elvis's staff brought drinks.
Elvis suggested that they sing and play together. Three guitars were brought over, including an electric bass.
John played rhythm and Elvis was on bass. "Now here’s how I play bass", he said to Paul, "Not too good, but I’m practicing!" Paul played piano and George played guitar.
It was a few minutes before George joined in. He was busy looking over his instrument.
Paul said, " You’re coming along very well there on the old bass. Keep up the rehearsals and me and Mr. Epstein will make you a star".
Cilla Black's hit You're My World was the first song they got off together.
John said, "This beats talking, doesn't it". At last, they had found a way of communicating through music. Only Ringo looked a bit disappointed. He could only watch them and drum on the side of his chair. Elvis noticed that so at one point he turned to Ringo and said, "Too bad we left the drums in Memphis".
The jam session lasted for about an hour. Paul was later to say that their jam session was captured on Elvis’s tape machine, but George denied that there was ever a recording.
Then they talked about the thing they all knew best, entertaining and the experiences they'd all had on tour and various topics including cars, songwriting, films and records.
The Beatles left around 2.00 a.m. John said later that Elvis had been a great host. Colonel Parker had given each of them a boxful of Elvis records.
As they were about to leave, Paul invited Elvis and the guys to come up to the place where they were staying the following night (the Benedict Canyon). "Well, I'll see," Elvis replied. "I don't know if I can make it or not. But thanks all the same." Elvis smiled and they shook hands but he didn’t make it.
On that meeting, Ringo later said, "Fantastic. He was just like one of us, none of the old Hollywood show-off thing". John said that It was Elvis's sense of humor that stuck in his mind.
