Tom Petty revealed that Elvis Presley had a significant contribution to his musical career.
The Wild flowers Singer’s love for the iconic Presley began since he was just 10 years old and when his uncle got a job on the movie Follow that dream In 1962.
Petty was able to see the king arrive on sets, an experience that continued to stick to him as he began to grow fonder and fonder of music.
“He arrived in a fleet of white cadillacs,” Petty remembered Rolling stones In 2011, adding, “People screamed and handed records over a chain fence for him to sign. I remember his hair was so black that the sunshine glowed with it.”
“Just a nod and a hello got your skin tingling,” Petty slipped at the time further and remembered, “I was tall for weeks. It turned on a fever in me to get every plate I could and I really digested it. Elvis was the soundtrack in my early years.”
At that time Mary Jane’s last dance Hitmaker had almost a decade full of things from Presley that he had to go through.
It was the popular 1956s Heartbreak Hotel, That made Tom Petty become a fan of Elvis Presley for life.
“It could have been the national anthem,” he claimed, saying, before concluding, “it cuts, and when the piano comes in, it starts to roll in this truly sensual way. The track is very creepy and very empty – there is just bass and a little piano, with DJ Fontana playing the deepest groove.”
