ELVIS PRESLEY, FRANK SINATRA and FRED ASTAIRE at Nancy Sinatra’s opening night party, which was also celebrating the closing night for Elvis, at the International Hotel in Las Vegas, in 1969. Elvis’s bodyguard, Joe Esposito, is in the background. “Elvis was a prince,” says Mr. Abolafia. “He would give you the shirt off his back.”
