In 1958, Elvis Presley met Joe Esposito in Germany during his tour of duty for the U.S. Army. Elvis and Joe became close friends, and for the next 19 years, Joe was Elvis' right hand man, his most trusted confidante, and in charge of running the day-to-day life of the world's biggest superstar.

From Army buddy to bookkeeper; best friend to best man at Elvis' wedding; road manager for thousands of live performances; they were together for 26 of Elvis' 31 feature films. Ultimately pallbearer at Elvis' funeral - "Diamond Joe" Esposito, as Elvis affectionately called him, was the highest ranking member of Elvis' inner circle.
