Late in the evening of August 27th, the group drove across to Perugia Way, Beverly Hills, to meet their one-time idol Elvis Presley, a summit conference arranged by Presley's manager, "Colonel" Tom Parker, and greatly anticipated by the Beatles and Brian Epstein. But the meeting was not a great success, although Elvis and the Beatles did have a brief jam session, a poor-quality tape of which has long been rumoured to exist, although this has never been confirmed and must be considered unlikely.
Paul had already spoken to Presley - and perceived his now decidedly unmagnetic personality - during a telephone conversation from the group's Atlantic City hotel to Memphis on August 31, 1964.
