"He's never been a racist. Elvis had friends, black friends, friends," the 77-year-old said.
The businessman continued, "He loved his music. He loved his style. He loved being around, you know, black musicians"
In addition, the Love Is Forever actress noted the iconic crooner's friendship with two black musicians Domino and Sammy Davis Jr.
"They always came into the dressing room when Elvis performed in Las Vegas," she remarked.
