Mysterious and shrewd, Colonel Tom Parker revolutionized the business of promotion and management while guiding the careers of Eddy Arnold, Elvis Presley, and others. Marking the hundredth birth anniversary of the late music industry legend, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum will pay tribute to Parker in a spotlight exhibit featuring personal photos, correspondence, documents, apparel, a scrapbook, and other artifacts from throughout his controversial career.

All Parker ever did was bleed Elvis dry. He doesn't deserve any accolades or exhibitions.

Mysterious & shrewd? Way too complimentary! I would think they could find something better to do with that space.

What a disgrace! This man was nothing but a greedy charlatan who fed off a gullible country boy with a great talent.

Disgusting. The spotlight exhibit should be filled with dollar bills because thats all this man ever cared about.

I wonder if they'll bring out the old Dancing Canaries on a hot plate act at this expo, dancing to the tunes of carnival music at $2 a pop?...lol
