No one has made it in music like Elvis. All the singing shows have tried to find another Elvis but even the internet has not found another Elvis. He was an is MR> UNIQUE.
I'm a African American woman, and everyone loved Elvis Presley, he was the big star of the 1960's, everyone loved Elvis, I mean everybody loved Elvis! Whites, Black's, everyone loved him!
I said you'll be another man that won't look like Elvis there will be this cuz he was a good looking man doesn't mean there's not going to be another one this world hasn't came to me in yet there could be one in the year 2033 you really don't know Elvis was a good looking man yes but there's other good-looking men out there too and singers they could sing too I'm a damn good looking woman doesn't mean I'm bragging and saying I'm the best looking woman out there which I am but I don't go around bragging about it
Most handsome person God ever gave to us and yes Elvis has now opened his heart and his love of his fans and his fans and now with great love we are all in love with our precious Elvis Such a sweet kind and loving person God Bless you Elvis forever and always AMEN
So sweet beautiful handsome and beautiful and one very sweet person God ever gave to us forever and Thankyou God for giving us Elvis forever and always AMEN
It brings tears to my eyes that the industry sucked the life out of Elvis. EVERYONE wanted a piece of him till he had nothing left to give. It still breaks my heart.
I agree...it's like the world wanted something from him...there are pics where he looks as if he wears the world on his shoulders...Col. Tom Parker was no exception...he drove Elvis to his grave.
I AGREE... ALSO HIS WRITERS GETTING 50% IS NOT EVEN HEARD OF. THEY EVEN SAID THEY STUDIED HIM AND THEY WAY HE EXPRESSED HIMSELF IS HOW ALOT SONGS WRITTEN. ONE OF THE WRITERS SAID WHEN ELVIS WAS UPSET ABOUT M.L.K. THEY SAT IN A SMALL ROOM AND ELVIS WAS EXPRESSING HIMSELF WHY CAN'T WE WALK TOGETHER ARM IN ARM , THIS WORLD IS IN TOO MUCH PAIN. HE SAID ELVIS SHOULD OF GOT CREDIT FOR IT. BUT YOU DON'T SEE THAT INTERVIEW ANYMORE. THE MAN GOT USED. GOD BLESS HIM FOR INTERNITY ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
Elvis had an innocence with his southern charm combined with his talent, charisma, sex appeal and BEAUTY all rolled into one person. I think that is why he will always be the number ONE.
@@lothibx I know what you mean. I was named after my grandmother, Irene and her sister, Laura, my aunt was Laurene. I am the only family member who has Laurene for a first name. My granddaughter is Katlin Laurene .
My Mom was born in 1950 and has been a fan since a very young age.She started a scrap book about Elvis when she was around the age of ten and up until his death when she was twenty seven that year. She passed it on to me about five years ago along with many Elvis records she had collected through the years. I have loved Elvis myself since a very young age and am turning fifty four this year. Many fond memories of my Mom and Dad listening to Elvis all my life. Long Live The King!!

Elvis is such a legend and an overall amazing human being! I am 23 and I am learning how iconic he is! The Elvis movie with Austin Butler nailed his whole life story amazing if anyone hasn't seen it yet GO NOW!
I was 18 when he died and i was working in a mill i remember all the women and girls who worked there they was all so devastated and so was i.. he will live in my heart till the day i die.. he was the King and the most handsome man who has ever walked our planet.. to me.
My sweet Mama God rest her sweet soul was a waitress in Columbus Mississippi. Elvis came to town to play and came into the restaurant with his manager after the end of his set. My mama found him a room at the adjacent motel that he could go hide out in because the girls at the concert had just ripped at his clothes to point he barely kept his pants on. Mama was acquainted with his Aunt and Uncle, so she didn't sell him out when girls came looking for him. She thought the poor guy needed some rest away from the crowd. She always loved his singing and owned just about every movie he ever made. That man Loved his mama.
@@tonyclapson6696 Very true but they werent PRETTY ENOUGH or the RIGHT COLOR. If Elvis had looked like Roy Orbison or Buddy Holly. You wouldnt hear a squeak about him now. His success was 75% looks and 25% talent. Little Richard blows him away for pure Rock and Roll. But of course he is black. So no go son. He got ripped off like nobody. While Elvis got more than he deserved. It was a reflection of the times. Thats why I will always respect artists like the Beatles.and Elton John alot more. You didnt buy their music because they were pretty . You bought it because they were talented.
@@fender1000100 You clearly are tone deaf and blind if you think Elvis had no talent. Did any of the artists you mentioned ever make full length motion pictures as the lead role/star? Cause Elvis sure did. Did they also sing the Lord's praises at anytime in their careers? Cause you guessed it, Elvis did. His Gospel albums are still selling today. It's even possible someone is buying one right now from their iPhone on the same block or area you live in.
A lot of people here in Shreveport had involvement with early Elvis. Recently, a swimming pool he donated to a boy scout camp out in the country (at the time) was demolished to make way for a Kroger parking lot. Slowly, his friends here are dying off, and places he frequented are disappearing. A woman from here who was also on the Louisiana Hayride owns Sun Records now. She and her husband bought it long ago. This video is full of great pictures that I have never seen before!
@@joanie3452 i’ve always been told it was a YMCA camp in fact they still own the property they sold part of it to Kroger for the new shopping center which has been really awesome and they are now building an actual YMCA location at the ruins of the firmer camp. The camp had been abandoned for decades and the pool I think for even longer, I don’t think there was much left of the pool when they decided to reinvent the whole area. This area didn’t have any grocery stores or similar businesses for miles but neighborhoods were starting to move in so it was keep the crumbling pool or bring some community to this area.
I’m honestly kind of proud of how much we preserved Elvis‘s history considering we haven’t preserved too much other history. I’ll be honest I’ve read many books on Shreveport we’ve lost a lot of history over the years but thankfully we still have the Municipal Auditorium in fact they just had a country music festival a few days ago there in honor of the hayride, and we have a few other Elvis related places I won’t go into detail on in this comment but don’t forget his favorite donut shop Southern maid donuts the original location still exist that’s where Elvis would go get donuts, the only commercial he ever did from what I’m told was for Southern Maid donuts on the Louisiana Hayride! When it comes to physical places the only thing we have lost was the abandoned pool you mentioned, and while it was a sad day to lose the crumbling pool remnants the new development really added a lot to this part of Shreveport.
What a beautiful thing to do on behalf of the King! Elvis Presley is definitely a one of a kind and they’ll never be another like him! All the world loves Elvis and those that don’t…..really don’t matter! He was and is so very special! God truly broke the mold after giving us Elvis! Miss him terribly!
@@forceactionguildspecialist9596 well he seems to be fairly influential in the modern hip hop scene which I know fuck all about but if Elvis is a ten on a scale of 1 to 10 in the icon stakes this guy is a 2 at best. Changed his name recently doing a Prince. 😊.
The very best Gospel singer to ever walk on planet earth ! He was so unbelievable with his humbleness to human beings when it came to his FANS and didn't underestimate the importance of making his FANS feel special in their huge following of his unbelievable career ! I understand where he came from with his huge love for his mother as my mother is my ROCK in the entire world ! RIP Mr. ELVIS PRESLEY !!
Fun Fact: The only reason Elvis became famous was because he stole music from Ella Fitzgerald and made it sound a little bit like rock than gospel. RIP Mrs. Ella Fitzgerald !!
@@d.estinys.life_yea he remade people music but honestly who doesn't I wish people wouldn't be so judgemental cause you don't have to look or listen what do people gain from tearing others down that never made sense to me may God come into the hearts of mean spirited people and teach them genuine love kindness and support for their brothers and sisters 🤍🙏🏽
@@d.estinys.life_ So not a fun fact! Elvis worked his nuts off to become famous, drew on many musical influences to meld into his own vocals and performances. He was a whirlwind, a young kid with a minus 10 start in life (as were many others - I take that on board) however he shook up the music world (dance moves, super magnetic looks, unique vocals) he influenced and changed many that followed into the music we all listen to today. Love listening to Ella's music by the way.
@@ihatechange Alright, Loretta, you're a fan! I get it. Come to Asheville and we can drink beer and discuss Elvis, Prince, etc.. Will put you on my podcast! Have you been to Tupelo? Surely Graceland.
Memphis is the birthplace of rock and roll and what would be the rest of history in the making and that would be the man the myth the legend Elvis Presley
And.... people can continue talking whatever it is, but that does not mean that Elvis didn't made history and did what he did, he earned it with dedication and affection. He gave people understanding and they thanked him defending him from the lies and envious people who are still around
Love Elvis,,,, never never be another Singer,Star like him,,, too young to go .... still loved by millions of fans, Worldwide.. his memory,his music is here forever...
45 years ago today (8/16/77) I was a 2 year old. That was the day this world lost the greatest performer and rock n roll legend ever produced, the incomparable Elvis Aaron Presley. A beautiful man with a beautiful voice, graced with humility, charm, charisma and coolness. The world has never been the same since that fateful day. May the Lord allow his soul to Rest In Peace in heaven. We will never forget you, Elvis. ❤️
I was 17 and I remember very well at night when it came over the radio, “Elvis Presley has died” it was shocking but I didn’t know enough to know ge was having such hardships. It’s a sad story and I don’t quite understand why his dad didn’t fight more fore him. I understand Elvis was a grown man but since he felt helpless against that evil crook Parker, seems loved ones would have stood with him to fight. I know they didn’t know what to do but lawyers step in and fight for you. Just thank GOD Pricilla was a strong willed person because it seems she was the strength behind something legally being done to that maggot Parker
I've been lucky enough to have spent years alone with the Elvis Presley Family and can say they are the kindest and friendliest celebrities I've known and I've been with quite a few. ❤️
Never ever ever ever be anyone who can hold a candle to Elvis. I've loved him since I was 12 yrs old and will love him forever. ....... "until the 12th of never"
Love this short film. Gives a real sense of what it must have been like way back in the 50s. Sad that it is over and that Elvis no longer alive, but his legacy and music will go on FOREVER. The was The greatest entertainer OF ALL TIME. No singer or group can come close or touch him - he was THE BEST... xxx
I met (Louisiana Hayride announcer ) Hoss Logan in Monroe, Louisiana in the late 1980's. I visited with him several times. He had the BEST Elvis stories EVER!! I wish he would have had them published before he passed away so the whole world could hear them. Rest in Peace Mr. Logan , you were a treasure in your own right. Since your already in heaven, tell your old friend Elvis I said hi.
The legendary story of Elvis begins with a human being... at the right place, right time, fit the suit just waiting for the life force to wear it, to do to the world it did in 1954... His life is historical, transformational, & utterly modern... one word ELVIS
Absolutely gorgeous and Elvis just started singing and then everyone started playing his song and then we knew Elvis found his 1st song and the rest was a great new single and Elvis was so excited sweet and happy and Elvis is now on the records ans wow so handsome stunning and beautiful and Elvis was just a little bit happy and a very loving and precious person God Bless you Elvis no 1 and it just loved his records and he certainly loved his fans Most precious Handsome and sweet Elvis forever and always AMEN God Bless you Elvis forever AMEN
I understand that we like what we like but I always thought that the greatest singer was Ray Charles or Nat Cole. etc. But like I said we like what we like. Bless you.
I'm so glad that I was able to be born in the time of Elvis, I grew up loving this man. I'm 65 now and I still listen to Elvis everyday. I was 24 when he died.
Same here and will never stop loving listening and enjoying all there is about Elvis...He lifts my spirit in these troubling times as well as the Lord does too... but in different ways and I think God knows we needed both... one for music and giving and caring and the other to Love us and save our souls and be our teacher... Leading us to the Lord.
@@caprice8770 I am a few years older too and yes it was cool to love and enjoy Elvis all the years he was making records and performing and making movies... I dont know where you grew up or where you lived but it was always cool to enjoy and love Elvis... Says who? I also enjoyed other music and many different types that were popular Except not the disrespectful Beatles.. I never liked them.. They had also rude fans and they were rude... So maybe you hung out with the wrong crowd if you thought it wasnt cool to love Elvis or enjoy his music... That's crazy, never heard of and to me that is an insult to Real Elvis Fans who have lived and still enjoy him... I am not one of his crazy screaming and chasing fans but a long time fan in so many ways, and defend my memories of him...I cried and cried and was so devastated when he died it was to me worse than when Other tragic deaths happened in the time but effected me strongly, like When JFK died or MLK as both were assassinated even Robert Kennedy too... we had good back then but also huge tragedies and times began to change in so many ways...
DURING THIS TIME ELVIS PRESLEY ALWAYS KNEW WHAT HE WANTED WITH THE BACKIMG OF HIS PARENTS GAVE ELVIS PRESLEY THE LIFE THAT HE COULD ALWAYS REMIND EVERYONE THAT HIS SIGNATURE SMILE THAT WWAS A WINNER
I was 17 just graduated High School in June 1977 when August 16th I heard the news of his death I cried and cried I remember feeling heartbroken I loved Elvis, I grew up listening and watching him , and I'll never forget the pain I felt that day He will live on in my memory until my life is over. Always love watching his videos
I have been a fan for more than 63 years now. My Aunt and Brother were fans. I started listening to his singing with them. Watching all of Elvis movies with them. My brother had the Elvis sideburns going on lol. I was only 3 years old when I became a fan. My favorite movies are, Love Me Tender, Flaming Star, Jailhouse Rock and Kissing Cousin's. Never get tired of hearing Elvis. A fan for life. Long live Elvis!
I was 24 when he passed and I loved him from the time I was little when my uncle and I put his records on and danced and then all through my teen years to now... I have always loved and enjoyed Elvis... Everything about him, all his music his concerts, his movies and admire all stories and photos of him too...
@@janice5528 I was 17 and I can recall where I was and what I felt when I heard the shocking news of Elvis's death. My mother was Elvis's age and she loved him from the first time she heard him. My children grew to love him and it looks like my grandchildren will love him. Collectively my favourite songs are from the Sun recordings and my No.1 Elvis song comes from this period - Trying to get to you. King Creole is my No.1 Elvis movie. Have a nice day.
From humble beginnings to international stardom, let's face it, it was meant to be, almost preordained. 'Once it got going, there was no stopping the damn thing!' Simply the very best entertainer of all time.
I remember, back in 1957, when at my first Navy duty station, an ice breaker USS Burton Island AGB1, docked in Bremerton, Wa., I would ride the ferry Seattle, and go to the big YWCA, where sailors would go to meet girls; we would sit in the snack bar, with our dates, and put our quarters in the Juke Box, and listen to Elvis sing ‘All Shook Up, five times for a quarter😁 OMG... We were ‘nuts’ about Elvis!!!
To me,i believe,Elvis's greatness was he never forgot how to stay humble. He remembered that other's didn't have the best of fortune he had found. He always shared and cared. And he knew how people could be judgemental. He was just a good hearted man at heart.
Elvis had never FOUND.any fortune .he was dirt poor As.a kid bought guitar after.saveing for a year for for 7 dollars worked hard his hole life to get where he was.at..until his dying day sang and played his very best..so I.must say Elvis presley was never given any fortune.he realized every dY just how fortunate he was and never.ever forgot where he came from
You are a disgrace to YOUR NATIONALITY AND all..ITALIANS BE NICE THE WORLD ALREADY HAS ENOUGH IGNORACE IN THOS WORLD..PLUS WHEN YOU TALK LIKE THIS..YOUR SHOWING YOUR EDUCATION
The most beautiful man in the world to this day. R. I. P. 16.8.1977 🕯️🙏😥

R I P Elvis... We miss You 🌹
Absolutely, I cannot think of a better way to say it! “Elvis was a gift!”
What a beautiful thing to do on behalf of the King! Elvis Presley is definitely a one of a kind and they’ll never be another like him! All the world loves Elvis and those that don’t…..really don’t matter! He was and is so very special! God truly broke the mold after giving us Elvis! Miss him terribly!
The best and most influential performer of all time. Period.
Agreed
What about Tekashi 69?
@@forceactionguildspecialist9596 well he seems to be fairly influential in the modern hip hop scene which I know fuck all about but if Elvis is a ten on a scale of 1 to 10 in the icon stakes this guy is a 2 at best. Changed his name recently doing a Prince. 😊.
ĺ
@@forceactionguildspecialist9596, WHO?…
I think he's the most iconic and revered celebrity this country has ever produced. He grows more popular as time goes on.
True.
The very best Gospel singer to ever walk on planet earth ! He was so unbelievable with his humbleness to human beings when it came to his FANS and didn't underestimate the importance of making his FANS feel special in their huge following of his unbelievable career ! I understand where he came from with his huge love for his mother as my mother is my ROCK in the entire world ! RIP Mr. ELVIS PRESLEY !!
Look up here on YT "hold my hand by Pastor Bob Joyce" and tell me who do you hear...?
Fun Fact: The only reason Elvis became famous was because he stole music from Ella Fitzgerald and made it sound a little bit like rock than gospel. RIP Mrs. Ella Fitzgerald !!
@@d.estinys.life_ Fun fact.. You are an ignorant nobody
@@d.estinys.life_yea he remade people music but honestly who doesn't I wish people wouldn't be so judgemental cause you don't have to look or listen what do people gain from tearing others down that never made sense to me may God come into the hearts of mean spirited people and teach them genuine love kindness and support for their brothers and sisters 🤍🙏🏽
@@d.estinys.life_ So not a fun fact! Elvis worked his nuts off to become famous, drew on many musical influences to meld into his own vocals and performances. He was a whirlwind, a young kid with a minus 10 start in life (as were many others - I take that on board) however he shook up the music world (dance moves, super magnetic looks, unique vocals) he influenced and changed many that followed into the music we all listen to today. Love listening to Ella's music by the way.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE - So emotional... So right - Elvis changed the world - he was a true original - never will be another EP - NEVER!!!!!
When I was 14 years of age Elvis hit the world, when he died I felt like I had lost a brother, I still do at age 76.
Same age here, same memories, same loss... what a wonderful time we lived in!
He did have an identical twin brother, Jesse Garon Presley, who died prematurely.
I am77 and remember the impact on me he made when I first heard him coming over radio Luxembourg one night ,( must have been in1955 )
We were kids and everyone seems to remember where they were when they heard that Elvis had died.
gutenbird ..I know where I was when Elvis died jamming out to Pink Floyd
My dad played the hayride in the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's. Dad performed same night as Elvis once and said he'd never perform again following him lol
I said the same about Prince. Could you imagine anybody daring to take the stage after him?!
@@majorkade Yes, ELVIS!
@@ihatechange Alright, Loretta, you're a fan! I get it. Come to Asheville and we can drink beer and discuss Elvis, Prince, etc.. Will put you on my podcast! Have you been to Tupelo? Surely Graceland.
He lives in my soul. I will never forget him.
Same as well!
So tell me are you a fan of Elvis…?
Memphis is the birthplace of rock and roll and what would be the rest of history in the making and that would be the man the myth the legend Elvis Presley
And.... people can continue talking whatever it is, but that does not mean that Elvis didn't made history and did what he did, he earned it with dedication and affection. He gave people understanding and they thanked him defending him from the lies and envious people who are still around
Elvis had a style and mystique all his own. 🕊🌎🕊🌍🕊🌏🕊
You can say that again…..
So tell me are you a fan of Elvis..?
We will never see another Elvis Presley. No matter who comes along, they will not do what he did or change music and culture like Elvis did.
@@thitalo1239 you are not serious. I hope your not that dillusional. Are you ?? Lol
LOREN Reece you’re 🤓🎓💼
LOREN Reece you’re not your. Talk about delusional. ☝️☝️
p diddy, kiss, van halen, ice tea,
There wont be an Elvis, but they might be really great and change music a lot, hopefully in a good way.
Love Elvis,,,, never never be another Singer,Star like him,,, too young to go .... still loved by millions of fans, Worldwide.. his memory,his music is here forever...
I would give anything to live in this era
45 years ago today (8/16/77) I was a 2 year old. That was the day this world lost the greatest performer and rock n roll legend ever produced, the incomparable Elvis Aaron Presley. A beautiful man with a beautiful voice, graced with humility, charm, charisma and coolness. The world has never been the same since that fateful day. May the Lord allow his soul to Rest In Peace in heaven. We will never forget you, Elvis. ❤️
I was 17 and I remember very well at night when it came over the radio, “Elvis Presley has died” it was shocking but I didn’t know enough to know ge was having such hardships. It’s a sad story and I don’t quite understand why his dad didn’t fight more fore him. I understand Elvis was a grown man but since he felt helpless against that evil crook Parker, seems loved ones would have stood with him to fight. I know they didn’t know what to do but lawyers step in and fight for you. Just thank GOD Pricilla was a strong willed person because it seems she was the strength behind something legally being done to that maggot Parker
Typos are For and he up there and others typo words up there
@@kathydoyle5134 Good morning Kathy ( 7.16 am in Thailand )
For some reason, Elvis spelled his middle name "Aron." Maybe in memorial of his twin Jesse Garon.
One of a kind; a beautiful man, inside and out.
I've been lucky enough to have spent years alone with the Elvis Presley Family and can say they are the kindest and friendliest celebrities I've known and I've been with quite a few. ❤️
Elvis was very handsome when he was young.
His whole life! They say pictures and movies didn't do him justice! He was so much more in person *
The one and only Elvis Presley ❤
The most beautiful man inside and out , Elvis, his voice pure magic
Yes. One and Only. What a force of Nature. Musical Shaman. Just watching this short but wonderful film revealed that mystical force only he had.
Never ever ever ever be anyone who can hold a candle to Elvis. I've loved him since I was 12 yrs old and will love him forever.
....... "until the 12th of
never"
Elvis as a child growing up ln Tupelo. His home is still there.
Love this short film. Gives a real sense of what it must have been like way back in the 50s. Sad that it is over and that Elvis no longer alive, but his legacy and music will go on FOREVER. The was The greatest entertainer OF ALL TIME. No singer or group can come close or touch him - he was THE BEST... xxx
I met (Louisiana Hayride announcer ) Hoss Logan in Monroe, Louisiana in the late 1980's. I visited with him several times. He had the BEST Elvis stories EVER!! I wish he would have had them published before he passed away so the whole world could hear them. Rest in Peace Mr. Logan , you were a treasure in your own right. Since your already in heaven, tell your old friend Elvis I said hi.
Before anyone did anything Elvis did everything.
The legendary story of Elvis begins with a human being... at the right place, right time, fit the suit just waiting for the life force to wear it, to do to the world it did in 1954... His life is historical, transformational, & utterly modern... one word ELVIS
Absolutely gorgeous and Elvis just started singing and then everyone started playing his song and then we knew Elvis found his 1st song and the rest was a great new single and Elvis was so excited sweet and happy and Elvis is now on the records ans wow so handsome stunning and beautiful and Elvis was just a little bit happy and a very loving and precious person God Bless you Elvis no 1 and it just loved his records and he certainly loved his fans Most precious Handsome and sweet Elvis forever and always AMEN God Bless you Elvis forever AMEN
Elvis was a classic singer with an amazing voice. He will go down as the best singer of the century.
And FOREVER IMMORTAL
I understand that we like what we like but I always thought that the greatest singer was Ray Charles or Nat Cole. etc. But like I said we like what we like. Bless you.
He was a musician not just a singer.
Elvis is in the Smithsonian Museum in DC as the Greatest Entertainer of the 20th Century.
Been on over 50 videos on youtube about elvis and no one says a thing bad. What a legend
I'm so glad that I was able to be born in the time of Elvis, I grew up loving this man. I'm 65 now and I still listen to Elvis everyday. I was 24 when he died.
I'm a couple of years older than you. At that time, it was not "cool" to love Elvis.. but I did not care. I knew he was the best.
I'm 68 and I remember him well. Loved him then and now.
Same here and will never stop loving listening and enjoying all there is about Elvis...He lifts my spirit in these troubling times as well as the Lord does too... but in different ways and I think God knows we needed both... one for music and giving and caring and the other to Love us and save our souls and be our teacher... Leading us to the Lord.
@@caprice8770 I am a few years older too and yes it was cool to love and enjoy Elvis all the years he was making records and performing and making movies... I dont know where you grew up or where you lived but it was always cool to enjoy and love Elvis... Says who? I also enjoyed other music and many different types that were popular Except not the disrespectful Beatles.. I never liked them.. They had also rude fans and they were rude... So maybe you hung out with the wrong crowd if you thought it wasnt cool to love Elvis or enjoy his music... That's crazy, never heard of and to me that is an insult to Real Elvis Fans who have lived and still enjoy him... I am not one of his crazy screaming and chasing fans but a long time fan in so many ways, and defend my memories of him...I cried and cried and was so devastated when he died it was to me worse than when Other tragic deaths happened in the time but effected me strongly, like When JFK died or MLK as both were assassinated even Robert Kennedy too... we had good back then but also huge tragedies and times began to change in so many ways...
I'm 64 and I'm glad I was born at this time.
Elvis is beyond my time, he was during my mom's time, and he gets my attention always. He was special is all I can say. ❤️
Hello sharon, how’re you doing ?!
You Are the best Rockstar👌 great singer and actor.
DURING THIS TIME ELVIS PRESLEY ALWAYS KNEW WHAT HE WANTED WITH THE BACKIMG OF HIS PARENTS GAVE ELVIS PRESLEY THE LIFE THAT HE COULD ALWAYS REMIND EVERYONE THAT HIS SIGNATURE SMILE THAT WWAS A WINNER
ELVIS HAD A CLASS OF IT'S OWN
I was 17 just graduated High School in June 1977 when August 16th I heard the news of his death I cried and cried I remember feeling heartbroken I loved Elvis, I grew up listening and watching him , and I'll never forget the pain I felt that day He will live on in my memory until my life is over. Always love watching his videos
i was 15 had a huge pile of his records great performer he had a great soul took the blues and gave it a kick
I have been a fan for more than 63 years now. My Aunt and Brother were fans. I started listening to his singing with them. Watching all of Elvis movies with them. My brother had the Elvis sideburns going on lol. I was only 3 years old when I became a fan. My favorite movies are, Love Me Tender, Flaming Star, Jailhouse Rock and Kissing Cousin's. Never get tired of hearing Elvis. A fan for life. Long live Elvis!
he was just so lovable. to watch, and to hear.
I was 24 when he passed and I loved him from the time I was little when my uncle and I put his records on and danced and then all through my teen years to now... I have always loved and enjoyed Elvis... Everything about him, all his music his concerts, his movies and admire all stories and photos of him too...
@@janice5528 I was 17 and I can recall where I was and what I felt when I heard the shocking news of Elvis's death.
My mother was Elvis's age and she loved him from the first time she heard him. My children grew to love him and it looks like my grandchildren will love him.
Collectively my favourite songs are from the Sun recordings and my No.1 Elvis song comes from this period - Trying to get to you.
King Creole is my No.1 Elvis movie. Have a nice day.
When elvis fever caught me back in 1996 i never looked back he is my music idol ❤
Elvis: an all-time cultural phenomenon. He lived in Elvisland.
Elvis and his Music has not Died, if you Make to Heaven you will See him Singing and Entertaining the Heavenly Host.....
From humble beginnings to international stardom, let's face it, it was meant to be, almost preordained. 'Once it got going, there was no stopping the damn thing!' Simply the very best entertainer of all time.
The year of 1956 Elvis earned $289.000 equivalent to $2.5 million dollars in todays money.
Very best entertainer of all time, yes, with the very best VOICE of all time! Including NOW! 2021!
I guess we like what we like. I think Ray Charles was the Genius a man way before his time and Little Richard gave birth to rock and Roll.
I always loved Elvis's songs he did good for himself and others very kind person❤💙💛💚🧡💓💕💖💗💞
Elvis is simply the BEST! Love you Elvis
I remember, back in 1957, when at my first Navy duty station, an ice breaker USS Burton Island AGB1, docked in Bremerton, Wa., I would ride the ferry Seattle, and go to the big YWCA, where sailors would go to meet girls; we would sit in the snack bar, with our dates, and put our quarters in the Juke Box, and listen to Elvis sing ‘All Shook Up, five times for a quarter😁 OMG... We were ‘nuts’ about Elvis!!!
Elvis the God's gift to humanity ♥ genius ❤ there will never be onother like him.
You’re absolutely right, so tell me are you a fan of Elvis..?
To me,i believe,Elvis's greatness was he never forgot how to stay humble. He remembered that other's didn't have the best of fortune he had found. He always shared and cared. And he knew how people could be judgemental. He was just a good hearted man at heart.
Oh yes always and forever, good hearted, humble never forgot where he came from.
“The only thing a Blackman is good for is to shine my shoes”
Ho away when you talk like this your realy showing your educstion
Elvis had never FOUND.any fortune .he was dirt poor As.a kid bought guitar after.saveing for a year for for 7 dollars worked hard his hole life to get where he was.at..until his dying day sang and played his very best..so I.must say Elvis presley was never given any fortune.he realized every dY just how fortunate he was and never.ever forgot where he came from
You are a disgrace to YOUR NATIONALITY AND all..ITALIANS BE NICE THE WORLD ALREADY HAS ENOUGH IGNORACE IN THOS WORLD..PLUS WHEN YOU TALK LIKE THIS..YOUR SHOWING YOUR EDUCATION
He was someone I loved as a child and I dance around like him I was only 8 years old. Elvis was a beautiful man and his charisma was off the charts
We all loved 🥰 him as well, I grew up with my parents listening to his songs. So tell me are you a fan of Elvis..?
