Earl "The Pearl" Watson, African American doorman of the Knickerbocker Hotel from 1945 to 1962. In his bio entitled "Doorman To The Stars̊, he also talked about wanting to write an ENTIRE book dedicated to his positive memories of Elvis

In my seventeen years as doorman to the top hotel in Hollywood, the biggest star that ever stayed there was Elvis Presley. He was indeed one of the nicest people I have ever met in my life. If I introduced any person to him, he would show the utmost courtesy and respect that they ever encountered. Sometimes, over the long years I felt that God had put him on this earth for a very special reason. When you use the phrase "a very special person", that was Elvis Presley, in my opinion.
