Elvis always the best and always will be
❤
Elvis would often call himself a brother to black folks that he bonded with. He was different. Everyone knew it at the time. He knew how to bring people together through respect, decency, love and music. Elvis was real about it to, BB King said he met him at black only functions in Memphis and was highly impressed with him ... Elvis was recognized to be the first to break the race barriers there. From the roots up. Death threats ensued because of it and followed Elvis his entire life. BB and Elvis remained friends for life. They were very close.
Elvis fought with venue owners down in the Southern states to do away with black only entrances on the side or back of venues. If they tried to force Elvis, Elvis would not perform. The Houston Astrodome famously tried to get Elvis to leave his black bandmates home and Elvis refused to appear in the famous baseball stadium unless they allowed them to walk through the same doors that Elvis did! ...
Without BB, Elvis and all the crossover artists, we may still be a segregated society, they made that big of an impact in that era, because they reached EVERYBODY on both sides. Music changed the world. But it took actual human beings to change the music, the radio stations, record execs, and the venues where racism was alive and burning.... Elvis was a huge part of that social change, especially in the 1950s and 60s.
The biggest Legends in the black community THAT KNEW ELVIS are on record. Here are a few of the biggest, and they actually KNEW Elvis personally and professionally. Respected him not only as an artist, but a person. A friend. And some, a brother.
CHUCK BERRY: “Describe Elvis Presley? He was the greatest who ever was, is or ever will be.”
MUHAMMAD ALI - 'Elvis was my close personal friend. He had a robe made for me. I don't admire nobody, but Elvis Presley was the sweetest, most humble and nicest man you'd want to know. We must understand, Elvis did lot for poor people, he cared for people, he had a good heart, he just wasn't a person who was great with talent, but he was great in spirit and with God in his heart. I wouldn't praise nobody if he don't deserve it, because I am the greatest of all time in boxing, in boxing. I said boxing ! But I'm telling you, I'm Black, I'm a Islamic, I'm 100% different from you. But I’ll tell the world Elvis was the greatest of all time. I'm a Muslim who's black who stands up for what he believes. I don't have to say what I don't feel, I'm not false, I don't have to say this. I have no Bosses. I'm free. He to me, is one of the greatest singers, actors and all round men of all time.” ~ "THE GREATEST" MUHAMMAD ALI.
BB KING: 'Let me tell you the definitive truth about Elvis Presley and racism', The King of the Blues, B.B. King said in 2010. 'With Elvis, there was not a single drop of racism in that man. And when I say that, believe me I should know'. -- BB KING
The "GODFATHER OF SOUL" JAMES BROWN: “I wasn’t just a fan, I was his brother. He said I was good and I said he was good; we never argued about that. Elvis was a hard worker, dedicated, and God loved him … I love him and hope to see him in heaven. There will never be another like that Soul Brother”. During Elvis' private family wake, James was the LAST ONE TO LEAVE. 3 hours and 30 minutes later -- it took several of his security guards to physically help him out of the room. James was devastated -- James and Elvis sang Gospel together many a night to all hours of the morning at each others' homes. James Brown was considered family by the Presleys because they were so close.
JACKIE WILSON: "A lot of people have accused Elvis of stealing the black man's music, when in fact, almost every black solo entertainer copied from Elvis." --- JACKIE WILSON (Elvis quietly paid for Jackie's medical expenses until the day he passed away in 1977. Before Jackie's stage accident he would carry a small signed photo of Elvis in his pants pocket. Every day, bar none.)
LITTLE RICHARD - "He sung my Tootie Frutti & by him singing it, made it bigger & made ME bigger" And then he said: “I thank God for Elvis Presley. I thank the Lord for sending Elvis to open the door so I could walk down the road...”- Little Richard
CISSY HOUSTON: "Elvis loved gospel music. He was raised on it. And he really did know what he was talking about. He was singing Gospel all the time - almost anything he did had that flavor. You can't get away from what your roots are." - Cissy Houston (The Sweet Inspirations co-founder & member & sang vocals for Elvis, also mother of Whitney Houston)
RANDY JACKSON of the JACKSON 5: "Elvis used Rock and Roll to bridge the gap between whites and minorities. He was a wonderful person."
ISAAC HAYES - "Elvis was a giant and influenced everyone in the business." - Isaac Hayes
WHITNEY HOUSTON - " Elvis was very nice to my mother, Cissy. I would see him backstage, he was amazing to look at!"
ESTELLE BROWN of the SWEET INSPIRATIONS: "When I first started working with Elvis, I made the mistake once of calling him "BOSS" Elvis replied back to me, "Estelle, I'm not your boss, I'm your brother." After that exchange --- the bond between Elvis and the Sweet Inspirations strengthened into a lifelong bond. Estelle said that "We felt like equals." The Sweet Inspirations spent the rest of their lives explaining whenever the questions arose how wonderful Elvis was to them.
I recommend you guys listen to Elvis’ gospel albums. You won’t be disappointed ❤🕺😎
Okay thank you 🙌❤️
Elvis was a big supporter of the Civil Rights movement in his era, and actually CHANGED THINGS. He supported and hired black musicians, artists and staff. White performers did not do that back then. Noone wanted to touch the race issues. Robert Kennedy, MLK and Elvis did. This was his tribute, broadcast on NBC television around the nation, in response to the assassinations of MLK, Robert Kennedy and the nation as a whole to HEAL and COME TOGETHER..
This was the fIRST PROTEST SONG ever aired on television, and NBC and sponsors wanted NOTHING TO DO WITH IT, with the race riots going on in the streets of America at the time.
This was the message Elvis for his generation and FUTURE GENERATIONS because he felt it couldn't be solved in his lifetime... but that the day WOULD COME! HUGE STATEMENT of hope and action and it fell in line with Dr Martin Luther King's message. They were both uniters and integrators of legendary stature.
🔥🔥🔥🙌
@@BukunmiBKCrown nice encouraging words..but I believe you missed the message in the song...this was not about a personal dream, but more a dream for a better word, where everyone could live in harmony etc.
BACKGROUND INFO for this SONG: As per the producer-director of the '68 special -- Steve Binder -- Elvis, Binder & others were together in the studio when they heard noise coming from the TV in the next room; it was the TV news broadcast that Robert Kennedy had just been assassinated. Binder, Elvis, et al sat up until about 4 a.m. talking about the turmoil in the world at that time w-Elvis expressing his thoughts & feelings, also the assassination of Pres. Kennedy & Vietnam. Binder asked songwriter Walter Earl Brown to compose a song based on those discussions. The song is notable for its similarities to Martin Luther King’s wish for a world of peace and harmony. The red tie was for the blood shed in Vietnam. See the video "Graceland: Secrets of the '68 Special" for the story of the '68 special, + all the other Binder video interviews regarding the culmination of the song & the entire special. Thank you.
This was a tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. Who was assassinated a couple months before he sang this.
Oh! Thanks for the info🙌
In the new Elvis movie it shows how this song was made.
@@BukunmiBKCrown See the explanation above for how & why the song came to be. Thanks.
It also encompassed the assassination of Robert Kennedy, Vietnam & the turmoil of the world @ time when Elvis & Steve Binder watched the TV news about Kennedy's assassination.
