If we were to go back to 1959, and Bremerhaven, in West Germany, we would find a US military base. On a particular night, in the Eagle Club, where families would socialise, we would find a teenage girl – the daughter of a captain who had landed three weeks before. She is talking to a friendly soldier called Currie whom she has not met before. After a while the soldier asks her, “Do you want to meet Elvis Presley?” The girl’s name is Priscilla Beaulieu and she is 14. Sergeant Presley is 22.
