In 1958, just as he finished making the movie "King Creole," Elvis received notice that he had to serve in the United States Army. He was stationed in Germany where he lived in a large house and dated a lot of beautiful women. One young girl he met in Germany was Priscilla Beaulieu, the daughter of an Army officer. She was 14 years old. Later, after Elvis had finished his army service, she came to live with him in Memphis. They married in 1967, when she was 21 years old. He was 32. They became parents nine months later of a baby girl, Lisa Marie.
Colonel Parker made sure that songs Elvis had recorded earlier were released during the years he was in the army. So Elvis was just as popular after his military service as he was before it. Elvis Presley won the three of the music industry's highest award, the Grammy. He received the first one in 1967. It was for "How Great Thou Art," an album of religious music.埃尔维斯·普雷斯利是20世纪50年代很长一段时间内身价最高的好莱坞演员。他演绎了31部电影。在1958年，当他结束电影《克利袄尔皇帝》的拍摄后，收到了美国军队的入伍通知。他驻扎在德国，在那里住着大房子，还和一群漂亮姑娘约会。其中包括普莱斯利与博利尤，一个军队军官的女儿。那会她才14岁。埃尔维斯晚些时候结束服役那会，她到孟斐斯和他在一起居住。在1967年他们结婚了，那会普莱斯利21岁，而埃尔维斯32岁了。9个月后他们有了一个女儿-丽莎·玛丽。
帕克上校在埃尔维斯服役期间确保其早期作品能得以发行。因此，当服役结束后，埃尔维斯依旧大红如故。埃尔维斯三次赢得音乐界的最高奖项，格莱美奖。第一次是在1967年凭借《你真伟大》这一宗教音乐唱片获得该奖的。
