Kathy Westmoreland


Kathy Westmoreland (born August 10, 1945 in Texarkana, Arkansas)

After growing up in Abilene, Texas, the daughter of a professional singer (father) and a professional dancer (mother), she moved to California in 1962 with her sisters (professional singers Melody Westmoreland and Christie Westmoreland) and brother Brent (professional drummer/singer). She teamed up with friend and Garden Grove High School classmate Steve Martin in a musical comedy act, working together at the Birdcage Theater at Knott's Berry Farm and playing local coffee houses.

A soprano, Westmoreland sang musical comedies and opera, performing oratorios and traveling with the Metropolitan Opera National Company by the age of eighteen. Returning to California, she joined the singing group The Sandpipers, who had a major hit with the song "Guantanamera." She became a studio session singer, appearing on numerous television shows such as those of Red Skelton, Tim Conway and Bobby Darin. She was one of Jimmy Joyce's singers, Ray Conniff's singers, Johnny Mann and many others, including vocals on recording sessions with hundreds of major artists. In 1970 she was hired to sing backup vocals for Elvis Presley, both in the studio and on stage, where he would introduce her as "the little girl with the beautiful high voice." She continued to perform with Presley until his death in 1977 and sang at his funeral at his request.

In 1987, she published "Elvis and Kathy" that recounted her time with Presley. (ISBN 0-9618622-0-3)

Kathy continues to perform to sold-out crowds, ranging from nightclubs to country-rock-and dinner theaters to fan clubs, and appears in films, TV, radio interviews, and recordings. She is currently contributing to many projects, including Dick Dale's HBO special, and occasionally performing with her daughter Lindsey, a singer and dancer.

DAnn fehlt auch Anita Wood

Anita Wood
 

Wood, Anita

Anita war eine ehemalige Schönheitskönigin, die bei der Top Ten Dance Party auf WHBQ in Memphis auftrat. Sie hatte gerade die Mid-South Hollywood Star Hunt, einen Talentwettbewerb, gewonnen.

Elvis und sie lernten sich 1957 auf einer Party kennen.
Auch als Elvis 1959 in Deutschland Priscilla kennenlernte, waren sie noch zusammen.

Sie galt als ernsthafte Romanze von Elvis.

Sie heiratete später den Football Star der Cleveland Browns Johnny Brewer.

Info:Juliet was born in Bombay, India, on September 25, 1936, daughter of an Englishman and his French-English wife. Juliet attended dancing classes and she also studied modern dancing. She was a huge success in the stage production Kismet, then became lead dancer in a Paris nightclub, but had a riding accident.
Recovered, she toured Spain and Italy, and it was in the latter place that famed Hollywood choreographer Hermes Pan saw the 5' 8" tall hoofer and offered her the role in Can-Can that was bring her to a wider public. She made great impression as the Serpent, and she also attracted the attention of the film's star - Frank Sinatra. Romance blossomed and the two got engaged.


It was Sinatra, who told Elvis about the talented young dancer and offered to introduce him to her, as she might be just the person to co-star in his new movie. Hal Wallis said; " I had a feeling Miss Prowse was just what we were looking for the moment I saw her." After signing the contract, Juliet said, "This is my biggest thrill. First Sinatra, now Presley! How lucky can a girl get?" Elvis and Juliet worked together well, and became really close. One account said they arrived at the studio at 7 am and all day long they were inseparable. Inevitably, rumours of a romance buzzed around Tinseltown, fuelled by the movie magazines and fired by Juliet's close relationship with Sinatra.


There were rumours of a cooling of the friendship and a fierce quarrel between Old Blue Eyes and the king. All the stories and speculation were good publicity for the film, at any rate. There was talk of Juliet being cast in Blue Hawaii a year later, but Joan Blackman got the part after stories about Juliet demanding her own hairdresser amongst other things. Juliet went on to dance her ways through an illustrious career. She never did marry Sinatra; on August 8, 1967, the Daily Mirror had a photo-feature with the headline, "The girl tipped to wed Elvis, engaged to wed Sinatra...will marry someone else." Juliet died of pancreatic cancer shortly before her 60th bithday. She'll always have a special place in the hearts of Elvis fans.
