It's November fourth, and on this day in 1974... Elvis Presley gave his longtime friend Jerry Schilling a house in Las Vegas. Explaining the generous gift, Elvis told Jerry, “Your mother died when you were a year old, and you never had a home, and I wanted to be the one to give it to you.” Around the same time, Elvis named Jerry the executive producer of a planned karate film, further deepening their bond both personally and professionally.
