This is a picture of Elvis and Vernon Presley, compared with a picture of "Orion".

​

​

There was talk online that Orion had really been Elvis' half brother. He wasnt. Orion was Elvis' first born child, born in 1956, Joshua Lee Presley.

​

When Elvis was performing on The Louisiana Hayride show, he had begun dating a Miss Texas contestant. He got her pregnant. Elvis went to Colonel Parker for help.

​

The Colonel found a gentleman willing to marry Miss Texas, and raise the child. A trust was set up to take care of that family, and THAT is the real reason Elvis and the Colonel had the 50/50 split.

​

Joshua Lee Presley was born in early 1956. Elvis said when he was recording Heartbreak Hotel he was singing it to Joshua Lee's Mom.

​

For several reasons, when Elvis impersonator Jimmy Ellis died in a robbery, they used that as an excuse to get Josh and Elvis back in hiding.

These songs were recorded in 1978, 79, and '80. Bear Family Records in Germany released Orion's Cd's.  They have mad up this myth about Jimmy Ellis, an Elvis impersonator, having been Orion.

​

Joshua Lee Presley, Elvis' first born child, was Orion the Masked Singer. When Jimmy Ellis was killed they decided to use that as a way to get Josh back in hiding. 

​

I do not know anything else about it but that...I BELIEVE I know what actually happened with everything around Jimmy being killed, but since I don't know for a fact if I said anything else I would just be making shit up.

​

Joshua Lee will know the whole story, so lets wait for him to tell out. I CAN guarantee Joshua Lee's true life story will be worth the wait!
