When the Beatles came to the United States, members of the young British group wanted to meet Elvis.

Priscilla recalled, “The Beatles came to our house in Bel Air, which was a funny evening.

“When they did come in they were so nervous. In fact, Elvis sat down on the couch, John Lennon and Paul McCartney just stared at him,” Priscilla laughed. 

“Never said a word. Just looked at him. They were so nervous, and Elvis basically was saying, ‘Well, if you’re not gonna talk . . .’ He turned on the TV. They were just mesmerized by him,” she said.

Lennon later told talent manager Jerry Schilling that he didn’t dare to tell Elvis that his sideburns almost got him kicked out of high school. Lennon said, “We wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for him.”
