Classic vintage glossy 8 x 10 head-and-shoulders photo of the youthful rock 'n' roll icon, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, "To Skeeter, a swell gal, my best to you, Elvis Presley." In very good to fine condition, with creasing the edges, a small stain to the lower left, and some ink adhesion trouble in the signature.
The recipient of these photos was presumably Skeeter Davis, a country music singer who sang crossover pop music songs including 1962's 'The End of the World.' After starting out as part of the Davis Sisters as a teenager in the late 1940s, she earned a contract with RCA Victor and became a solo star in the late 1950s. She toured alongside Presley, Hank Snow, and The Carter Sisters in 1955 and recounted her friendship with 'the King' in her autobiography, Bus Fare to Kentucky.
