Although Tony was only expecting to meet with Parker he was delighted when as an unexpected bonus he met Elvis before seeing the Colonel. Elvis was tall, really good looking, very relaxed and charming with that marvelous voice and southern manners. Since he first saw him in Love Me Tender Tony had been a fan and they spent some time discussing certain songs Elvis performed in his set, their history and how he interpreted them on stage. After this Tony met with Parker who asked him questions about the deal he had made and the contracts he had signed with RCA. Although Parker had a lot of experience with contracts for Elvis concerning film production and distribution, he had not explored independent film production deals that would own and license those movies. He had also made traditional record company deals for Elvis, where RCA retained rights to the master recordings, so he was very keen to know more about the arrangements Tony had made with RCA where the artist or his management company retained the rights and leased the master recordings to the record company.
