We all know he had some Cherokee and Maybe some Jewish, but gypsy?
Now I read this somewhere:

"Elvis's mother Gladys came from the Romani Smiths and the German Presslers, when the Roma first entered America, in fear of persecution they called themselves the Black Dutch.
Bob Dylan wrote a song called "I Went To See The Gypsy" after a visit with Elvis, that song is available on YouTube."

Elvis part Gypsy? Who knows. It is well known that among artists, particularly singers, the presence of Gypsies is more common than in the rest of the population.

Although it may sound strange, I wouldn't be surprised to discover that link in Elvis.
