George “GK” Klein (b.October 8th 1935)is a Memphis native and a pioneering disc jockey and television host. He and Elvis met in the eighth grade at Humes High in North Memphis, and they became lifelong friends. Today, Klein hosts a program for Sirius XM Radio’s Elvis channel every Friday from 2:00 to 6:00 central time, Memphis Sounds for WYPL-18 TV, and the Elvis Hour for WMC radio in Memphis.

When George Klein was an eighth grader at Humes High, he couldn’t have known how important the new kid with the guitar—the boy named Elvis—would later become in his life. But from the first time George heard this kid sing, he knew that Elvis Presley had a God given talent. During Elvis’s rise to fame and remarkable life, Klein was a steady presence and one of Elvis’s closest and most loyal friends until his untimely death in 1977.
