Hello,
I am a writer based in the UK and am researching an article on Elvis Presley. The main
focus of the piece is a racquetball business ('Presley's Center Courts') that
Elvis was associated with from February 1976 until July 1977. The business operated from
two sites, one in Memphis (Mendenhall Road South) and the other in Nashville. Elvis's
three partners in the deal were Dr George Nichopoulos, Joseph Esposito, and T. Michael
McMahon, who filed a lawsuit against Elvis in May 1977 alleging breach of contract.
I would be very interested to hear from anyone who has access to the following:
(1) Reports in the Memphis press (especially the Memphis Press-Scimitar and The Commercial
Appeal) on the development of 'Presley's Center Courts'. I do know that
reports appeared in the MPS on 21 April 1976 and 2/3 May 1977, and I am keen to see these
at the very least.
(2) A copy of the lawsuit filed against Elvis (details above) in the Shelby Circuit Court,
and any other related documentation.
Any assistance that is given will be gratefully received and will merit a full
acknowledgment in the printed article.
I hope that some of you will be able to help.
Many thanks,
Freddy Freeman
