I was wondering whether the real Trapp family singers ever worked with Elvis Presley. Elvis was active between 1953 to 1977 and the von Trapps were in States around 50s. Has anybody read about this in any of the books? I happen to be a huge fan of Elvis Presley and it would great to read.
Apologizing in advance, I didn't know where to put this thread.

I don't recall anything in any of the three books of theirs I've read (two of Maria's and one of Agathe's (real-life Liesl)) but unless I've just completely forgotten I would hazard a guess it's no. They didn't really team up with anyone. Towards the end of their run - so late 40s/50s ish they changed a few members, but that was it and there's a point in one of the books where it's clear they do not particularly care for 'popular' music, on the basis that it changes so quickly and wasn't lasting. Personally I agree on that point.
While I think Elvis has clearly lasted, I think to them, at that time, he would've seemed like a flash in the pan.

I googled this and all I could find was -
"The Trapp Family Singers were a real band, who worked for 30 years after their escape from Nazi-annexed Austria. One career high point was undoubtedly when they sang on an Elvis Presley Christmas record."

Well I guess it's a yes then.
Now that I feel really awkward, I'm off. Feel free to ignore me completely.

I agree with what you said about 'popular music'. True, it doesn't last long. Maybe they just sang for the christmas album once. There is no mention of them actually working together in any of the books I have read. I was just curious, that's all. And I could never ignore you  |
