November 1974: Elvis purchased a house in the hills of West Hollywood, California for his close friend and "Memphis Mafia" member Jerry Schilling. Jerry, was in Las Vegas when this happened. Elvis told Jerry: "Jerry, Do you know why I bought you this home? I know I drove all those other guys crazy buying you this house, but 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." Jerry continues to live in the house today.
