Author, Roselle Kline Chartock shares her journey of discovery in the new book "The Jewish World of Elvis Presley," which includes Elvis's own Jewish heritage. His mother Gladys, is from an uninterrupted line of Jewish women, with her original female ancestor coming to the South from Lithuania in the 1800's. He even placed a Jewish star on Glady's grave, which is now displayed at Graceland.

Roselle shares the story of spending childhood Shabbats at the home of their neighbors Rabbi Fructor and his family, the Lansky Brothers, who were Elvis' life long tailors, as well as a half of his "Memphis Mafia" inner circle being Jewish, including Larry Geller, who taught Elvis about Kabbalah and Gematria.
