UPDATE SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2009

I HAVE ADDED BELOW SEVERAL MORE PHOTOS OF LARRY KOLB FOR COMPARISON.  THESE PHOTOS ARE ALL SUPPOSEDLY LARRY KOLB. 

YOU WILL SEE,  A PHOTO OF MR. KOLB WITH MUHAMMAD ALI AND HIS WIFE LONNIE IN BLACK AND WHITE FROM MR. KOLB'S BOOK (WHICH IS DISPLAYED ON THE INTERNET). 

WHEN I FIRST LOOKED AT THIS PHOTO, SOME TIME AGO, SOMETHING JUST DID NOT LOOK RIGHT ABOUT IT.  AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT MR. KOLB WAS PERHAPS AIRBRUSHED IN.  BUT, I NO LONGER BELIEVE THAT TO BE THE CASE.  I AM NOW THINKING THAT IT IS INDEED LARRY KOLB IN THE PHOTO WITH ALI...BUT THAT HIS FACE IN THE PHOTO HAS BEEN TOUCHED UP AND ALTERED TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE  THE  ELVIS IN THE 1984 ALI PHOTO.   IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY YOU WILL SEE THAT, ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HIS FACE, IT LOOKS ALMOST AS IF "ONE FACE HAS BEEN PLACED OVER ANOTHER FACE".  LOOK FOR THE LIGHTER AREA RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF  HIS  FACE ...ALMOST LIKE A MASK OR HEAVY MAKEUP.  BUT PROBABLY NEITHER...RATHER JUST PHOTOSHOPPING.

THE OTHER TWO COLOR PHOTOS OF MR. KOLB'S FACE ARE TAKEN FROM THE VIDEO WITH BILL BIXBY DURING THE SHOW ON WHICH MR. KOLB CLAIMED THAT IT WAS HE IN THE ALI PHOTO FROM 1984. AS YOU WILL SEE, THE FACE IN THE BLACK AND WHITE PHOTO WITH ALI AND THE FACE FROM THE COLOR VIDEO SHOW DO NOT APPEAR TO BE THE SAME MAN.  THE CLOSEST SIMILARITY, UPON CLOSE SCRUTINY, IS THE MOUTH AND THE CHIN...WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN ALTERED BY PLATIC SURGERY.  THE "ELVIS" IN THE PHOTOS IS MUCH MORE HANDSOME THAN LARRY KOLB ON STAGE.

ALSO, IN THE BLACK AND WHITE PHOTO OF MR. KOLB AND ALI, YOU CAN SEE THAT MR. KOLB IS INDEED TALLER THAN ALI. ALI IS THE SAME HEIGHT AS LARRY GELLER.  I HAVE PROVEN BELOW THAT MR. KOLB STANDS HEAD AND SHOULERS ABOVE LARRY GELLER ON STAGE.  BUT, THE "ELVIS' IN THE 1984 PHOTO DOES NOT TOWER OVER ALI.

 I AM PLACING THESE PHOTOS ON HERE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.  COUPLED WITH THE EVIDENCE WHICH I PREVIOUSLY SET FORTH BELOW, I BELIEVE IT IS LIKELY THAT MR. KOLB WAS COVERING FOR ELVIS AS WELL AS PROTECTING ALI FROM AN ONSLAUGHT OF PUBLIC ATTENTION BECAUSE OF THE PHOTO OF HIM WITH "ELVIS".

THERE WAS AN EARLY RECRUITMENT ATTEMPT BY THE CIA (BEFORE MR. KOLB'S MID TWENTIES) WHICH HE REFUSED AND WENT TO WORK IN BUSINESS...INCLUDING WORKING FOR MUHAMMAD ALI.  THIS TOO MAKES ONE TAKE NOTE OF THE AGE OF THE PERSON IN THE 1984 ALI PHOTO.  MR. KOLB STILL HAD A YOUTHFUL APPEARANCE DURING HIS INTERVIEW WITH BILL BIXBY.  THIS WOULD MEAN THAT MR. KOLB WAS VERY YOUNG IN THE ALI PHOTO FROM 1984.  HE WAS APPROXIMATELY 8 YEARS OLDER IN THE BILL BIXBY INTERVIEW.   THE FACE IN THE ALI 1984 PHOTO APPEARS TO BE THAT OF A MORE MATURE MAN.

SUBSEQUENTLY, MR KOLB WAS MADE ANOTHER OFFER TO COME TO WORK FOR THE CIA WHICH HE DID ACCEPT.  PERHAPS HIS INVOLVEMENT OF WORKING TO PROTECT ALI AND TO PROVIDE A COVER FOR ELVIS, CAUSED HIM TO WANT TO GO INTO THAT LINE OF WORK AFTER ALL.

BELOW ARE THE LINKS TO TWO WEB SITES WHERE YOU CAN READ MUCH ABOUT MR. KOLB'S LIFE AND CAREER:

http://www.larryjkolb.com/reviews.html   Click here: AMERICA AT NIGHT   BELOW IS AN EXCERPT FROM ONE OF THE ABOVE WEB SITES IN ORDER THAT YOU MAY SEE PROOF OF SOME OF THE FACTS WHICH I HAVE LISTED ABOVE.   Larry J. Kolb was born in Virginia and raised around the world as the son of a senior American intelligence official, a spy master. When he was twenty-two years old, Kolb was recruited by the CIA, but he declined. Instead he became a businessman, and the following year was featured on the cover of The Wall Street Journal. While still in his mid-twenties, he became an agent for professional athletes, including Muhammad Ali, with whom Kolb developed a close friendship. This brought him into contact with many of the world's most powerful and wealthiest people, especially in the Middle East, and made him almost irresistible to legendary CIA co-founder Miles Copeland. When Copeland recruited Kolb, Kolb said yes, and soon he was involved in covert intrigues in Beirut, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Nicaragua, Peru, Pakistan, and India, not to mention the halls of power in London, New York, and Washington. With Copeland, Kolb co-wrote white papers for the President of the United States and the National Security Council, during the administrations of President Reagan and the first President Bush. While running a covert propaganda campaign for Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, Kolb anonymously wrote a widely-published series of investigative newspaper stories which electrified India. During most of the 1990's, while the then anti-Gandhi government of India sought to extradite him, Kolb found himself in a safe house in Florida with nothing to do but listen to the waves roll in and put down on paper the extraordinary story of his life so far.   LASTLY, HERE ARE THE PHOTOS FOR YOU TO PERUSE:   Please take note that Larry Kolb is taller than Ali...IF this is an actual photo and not airbrushed to make it look as if Kolb looks like Elvis and that he really is in the photo with Ali.  So.o.o.o why is the man in the photo with Ali and Jesse Jackson in 1984 not taller?  Also, notice the faces of Kolb in the photos...doctored to look more like Elvis in the top photo?

Added New photos 9-8-2009

 More photos and information showing that Elvis did indeed have a broken little finger on his right hand.

In this enlarged photo, the crooked little finger on his right hand is more easily seen.

Below is a good comparison of a known photo of Elvis with his face lowered which compares favorably with the Ali photo.  Take note of the hair, the eyebrows, the high cheeks....etc.

Please visit the following link to see a photo of the cast he wore and the details about how he broke his finger playing football at Graceland on Oct. 16th, 1960: Click here: Elvis Presley 1960-1966 : Elvis Is Back!

The following are photos showing "PROBABLY ELVIS" in the Sept. 1984 video.  I have captured these freeze frames from my YouTube video.  If you look very carefully, you will see that the "Elvis" in this video does have a crooked little finger on his right hand....this is seen when he puts his hand on Jesse Jackson's shoulder.

  The following are several photos of Elvis prior to 1977 in which his crooked finger may be seen:

Also added on 9-8-2009:

Here are two photos of Elvis for comparison.  One is, of course, from the Ali photo in 1984.  The other is a known photo of Elvis from the late '50's.  It definitely is the same face.

More news 8-24-09

I have added 3 more videos to my YouTube which provide solid confirmation that it is NOT Mr. Kolb in the Ali photo.  Below are the links.  You may read my descriptions on the videos.

In a nutshell, the following information and documentation will point out the significance of these three videos:

The point I am making is this:  Elvis is 6' 1",  Larry Geller is taller than Elvis by 2 or 3 inches which makes him at least 6' 3" which is the same height as Ali (6'3").  If you watch the end of the show tape where all of the guests are milling around on stage, you will see that Kolb looks like a giraffe compared to everyone else on stage including Larry Geller.  So this proves that if Ali had been on that stage, Kolb would have stood way taller than Ali....as is seen by the comparison between Kolb and Geller on stage.  I think that Kolb must be about 6' 7". 

 

The man in the Ali photo is about the same height as Ali (6'3").  Elvis was known to sometimes wear lifts to make him a little taller.

 

Also, Elvis once broke the little finger on his right hand.  Therefore it was left a little crooked.  If you watch very carefully, you will see that when he reaches out and puts his hand on Jesse Jackson's shoulder, the little finger is a little crooked.

 

Plus, casting all of that aside, it is perfectly obvious that Kolb's hair texture and hairline and face do not match the photo.

 

And perhaps the most telling thing of all is that Larry Kolb certainly had no reason to try to hide his face from the cameras.

 

I will insert below documentation of the height of Elvis (6'1"), Geller (at least 6'3"), and Ali(6'3"):

*******************NEWS FLASH 8-21-2009***************

I have added two videos relating to the Muhammad Ali photo with "someone" who looks like Elvis in 1984

Below are descriptions of my two videos and the links to reach them on YouTube.

Also, below is the original black and white photo which was the catalyst for the whole discussion.

 I apologize that this video plays in extremely slow motion which distorts the clarity...but it is what makes it possible to see details. The normal speed of this is just a second. There are a few seconds of darkness before the video actually starts.

This is an excerpt from news footage made when Ali was checking out of the hospital. In the film are Ali, Jesse Jackson, Ali's brother and the man in question...Elvis? Much discussion has revolved around the black and white photo...is it Elvis? In this clip you will see that the person in question has Elvis' mannerisms. He is smiling broadly when they come out until he sees the media. He quickly loses his smile, lowers his face, puts his right hand on Jesse Jackson's shoulder (the same way that Elvis did when walking through a crowd with his body guards), and places his left hand over his lower face. It is obvious that this man is attempting to hide from the cameras. 

Also, check out the comment which Ali makes just before going into a "distract the attention" mode.  "The press has a way of making people think you are dead."  You will see that Ali glances back toward the man in question.  Then he and Jesse Jackson begin immediately making unintelligible sounds trying to cover for Elvis, no doubt.

If I am not mistaken Elvis had broken his little finger on his right hand years before and it was always bent a little because of this. In this video, you can see that, indeed, his little finger is slightly crooked when he places it on Jesse Jackson's shoulder. You can definitely see that it is Elvis when he lowers his head and looks up through his brows...the cheeks, eyes, brows and forehead are those of Elvis. The hairstyle is also very similar to that of Elvis' below.

 *****************************************************************

In the above privately recorded clip you will see and hear Billy Stanley (Elvis' stepbrother) unequivocally identify the photo as being Elvis. This is the black and white Ali photo which has been discussed so much in the media relating to "Elvis?" from September, 1984.

Sadly, the lady in the film is deceased. I was acquainted with her at the time and she gave me this copy of her video.

This was filmed during a book signing by Billy Stanley. His book "Elvis, My Brother" had been recently released.  Below is a copy of the cover of his book which the lady has in her hands.
