I remember Jerry from back in 1971-72 in Columbia, SC when he would come into the Thunderbird Lounge where I was playing 6-nights-a-week. He would sing with us, and was very, very good. He was also a very nice guy to hang out with and perform with. I will always remember him.

Jerry Presley who is a singer got popularity and one of the reason for his popularity was that he was Elvis Presley’s cousin. The father of Elvis and Jerry were brothers. Jerry was Elvis’s cousin not only Jerry Presley. Jerry was called most of his life Elvis rather than Jerry and in school people called his twin brother Pelvis and him as Elvis. Jerry had a twin brother Terry and they both performed at parties in their hometown of Kansas City. However Jerry became more popular than his brother. Jerry went on to entertain many military troops before winning Third Army Talent Contest. He also performed at many night clubs in South Carolina. Jerry was drafted in 1969 and also went through some training at Fort Jackson in the state of South Carolina. Jerry was born in March in 1950. He has a twin brother named Terry and his older brother named Jim and two sisters which were Beverly and Rita. Apart from performing vocals Jerry also played guitar, he also said that although his style is similar to Elvis Presley but I never try to imitate him, I have my own style of performing art. Jerry became the highest paid singer at South Carolina. Jerry said that although my song styles are somewhat similar to Elvis, I don’t go for Rock and Roll. Patsy was also cousin of Elvis Presley and her mother’s name was Clette Smith. The not so famous uncle Vester Presley was Vermons brother, Patsy did not get as much popularity as his other cousins get.
