She captioned it: “Flashback Friday… By popular demand… The absolute most famous, talented, innovative, world-rattling, precious person I was privileged to love & be loved by… so honoured to have gotten to know this icon as intimately as anyone could ever know another. There will only ever be One original… One Elvis.”

Another wrote: “Such a wonderful tribute. Thank you Linda for everything you do and sharing such beautiful memories of someone who is a hero to so many of us.”

One added: “Thank you for sharing your memories, they are yours and you don’t have to. Yet you do, Lisa and you were such bright lights in his life I am sure. When so many were taking advantage of him. My great uncle was his pastor as a kid and taught him how to play the guitar, Frank Smith was his name. That’s my small connection to him but again, thank you for sharing your sweet memories with us.”
