Schilling added: “We would all get together at a friend’s house and they would sing songs at the end of the night. Tom liked to sing Elvis’ “One Night With You” “They even went on vacation


together to Hawaii and spent lots of time together in Las Vegas.” The pair even duetted together in Presley’s private Vegas suite, along with Jones’ guitarist Big Jim Sullivan, who was also


good friends with Presley. Las Vegas was obviously an important place for Jones himself, as he performed every years for 42 years between 1967 and 2011, starting at The Flamingo Hotel. He


would play in the city for at least a week every year, however that ended and US magician David Copperfield took Jones’ slot for 2012.
