Joan Deary was executive in charge of the Elvis' catalog for RCA records. Deary joined RCA in 1954 as Steve Sholes secretary. In 1972 she became assistant to RCA vice president Harry Jenkins, whose job it was to handle the Elvis Presley material. She produced many albums for RCA, including the Elvis Aron Presley 25th Anniversary Album set. Deary worked out of the rca building in hollywood until her retirement in 1987.

Before Ernst Jorgensen there was Joan Deary. During Elvis' lifetime, RCA gave him many of his original acetates which he promptly stored at Graceland. After his death, Joan needed those acetates to see what materials was on them that she could use. The Colonel told her to go to Graceland and look around. Joan searched through the depths of closets, drawers and shelves. She found about a dozen original acetates including 'The Million Dollar Quartet'. Joan wasn't bothered by bootlegs, but was always concerned that it wasn't the best of Elvis.

A little known fact is Joan herself recorded the Aloha Special in Hawaii. She was given a room the size of a closet and boxes to sit on. From her 'closet' she couldn't see Elvis, but could only hear him. She sat on a box with the RCA recording equipment also on boxes. and recorded the now famous 'Aloha from Hawaii'.

Joan produced the original LP, Our Memories Of Elvis that has just been released by Follow That Dream.

Joan Deary passed on October 2, 1999.
