Gerald Jay King was weaned on Elvis Presley and was guided through his

Gerald Jay King saw colored bathrooms, and was called Jew Nigger-lover for
the crime of performing “Tossin’ and Turnin’” with the first black male
student ever to enter his high school.
The small-town Jewish boy from Virginia was a camp counselor for
underprivileged kids from Harlem
Picked apples and pears in Israel.
Paid one lira for a falafel.
Racked shoes in a shoe warehouse.
Played in rock and soul bands in Fort Lauderdale.
Played jazz, rock, and country guitar in the Army Band.
