All those who met Elvis of whatever race, colour or gender, be they celebrity, rich or poorest of folk, none of them ever say a bad word about him. They all talk in awe and love of his beauty inside and out...now that is very unusual, and VERY SPECIAL. What an amazing and unique man he was in so many ways. The Goat!
These are the stories I love to hear about Elvis. Not the ones of people who trash him or talk about his private life so they can make money off it. I often wonder how their private lives would look if someone lifted the lid on them. Elvis was an amazing one of a kind talent who touched so many peoples lives, I know here in Australia so many of our artists got into music because they heard Elvis and wanted txo be like him and did what he did. I was only 12 when he died but his impact on me was enormous. It seems to me that the only people who accuse Elvis of being racist are the ones who never even met or talked to the man. So many people of colour who knew him personally loved him and had nothing but good things to say about him There's a line about Elvis thats used a lot and i think its true. Like a prince from another planet. I'm a straight male but agree with Jerry Reeds comment. He was probably the best looking man you've ever seen. Talent charisma, a warm generous giving heart. Nobody else will even come close to what he achieved. The sad thing is his legacy could have been so much bigger
Yes, you said a mouthful! I was lucky enough to meet him, and went on tour for a couple of nights with them, and that man was everything anyone ever said about him...he was a MYTH....bigger than life...the kindest, most humble, soft spoken GENTLEMAN you would ever wish to meet!
He had An amazing talent! I was raised on him and saw him twice in person in the 70's before he died. I am more impressed with his vocal abilities now than I was then.
@@anthonydempsey7693 yeah, and Jesus’s name stands up after 2000 years, but in modern times, Elvis is the most enduring non-divine figure of the past 50 years.
I am a very straight married man but I have no problem saying that Elvis is the best looking human being I had ever seen.The guy was oozing charisma and talent that will never be matched by anyone.
What James Brown said, brought tears to my eyes. From the heart. Man to man. Beautiful peice of history. I miss them both, as the world who knew them does.
Isn’t that funny how that worked between James Brown and Elvis now that we are in 2023..& people would claim otherwise about him ; yet , we have it right in front of us the actual PERSON OF James Brown saying how much he loved him and doing nothing but paying respects and singing his praises. I guess James was crazy though right ? Sarcasm.
It's amazing how many celebrated people or anyone that came close to him, loved and respected him. Just the regard they had for him was/is just amazing
That was a great Elvis impersonation by Paul McCartney....Dead on from Love me Tender....Great to hear the story of how he and John Lennon reacted when Elvis came on screen.
Absolutely everyone loves Elvis! That says a lot about Elvis and the sort of person he was. I mean, James Brown says he will always pray for Elvis! That's cool, right!?
I remember reading an article about how when Elvis came out the Colonel never allowed him to be seen too much. Before his first movie the Colonel had a figure of Elvis about 70Ft. tall erected above the theatre where Love Me Tender was going to debut in NY. When it was unveiled it was shocking because when everyone thought of Elvis they thought of him as bigger than life. There was ELVIS and everyone else.
@@athenaminerva8954 Wahahaha what a joke!!! Learn music history first before you blabber such nonsense. Beatles don't come close to Elvis. Elvis nr 1 in USA 20, Beatles 18; Elvis nr 1 in UK 18, Beatles 17, what this link ua-cam.com/video/wz4pvGtpm8c/v-deo.html and come then again to say Beatles dethroned him. If love so much the Beatles why are you here then???
This collection of interviews in parts 1 and 2 is a reminder of just how SHOCKING it was just to glimpse or be in the presence of Elvis Presley. Many people today are unaware of how jaw-dropping his charisma, looks, and presence were - and that's aside from performing!! The guy was something else, and I can't think of any other modern day individual who had that effect on another human being. Truly one of a kind.
I not only got to meet Elvis but I was his side man in the movie "Double Trouble" I played a member of his band mainly on lead guitar but also on various other instruments. It was great fun indeed and Elvis was very kind and great to work with. I am on the cover of the DVD with him along with our drummer. I am on the white Fender Strat and on the right as you look at the DVD and our drummer is on the left. Or the blond guy is the drummer and the guy with black hair is me. The band broke up after the movie and I have been a professional photographer ever since then. I have no idea about the other members of the group we have never kept in touch. We went be the name of the Fifth Amendment prior to doing the movie but decided to call ourselves the G-Men as that was our name in the film...you can see how well that all worked out. The one thing I will say regarding Elvis is that you could see the amount of pressure he was under every day...I would not have wanted to exchange places with him as we all can see what ended up happening to Elvis...very sad ending to a brilliant career that burned out all to soon.
jeff moser WOW,you’re a lucky man Jeff!!You’re so right about all the pressure he was under especially during the movie years.May I ask you what you saw to give you that impression back Ghent?Was Colonel Parker there when you were filming?
These people are so sweet 🤩 and kind. Watch the new Elvis movie unless you already did if you love Elvis now you'll love him even more the movie is very touching.
I once heard it said by a big time rock star, you could put all of the biggest stars and groups in a huge hall, let them all perform at the same time to show each other who is best... but the very second Elvis would have walked into that hall...everyone of them would have stopped. They would have stopped just to watch to see what he was going to do.....
Funny you post this Mark because recently I said the same thing to my wife, except it was more of everybody would be humbled because no matter how famous they were, in walked the man that inspired them all. The King of rock commands attention.
@Joseph Sokoloski Kanyee West is the Hitler of music! An irreverent, megalomaniac, styleless, unbelievably untalented and ravenous asshole! He is a cultural insult!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was ten years old. Never heard of Elvis My mother took me to the movies to see Love me tender. I loved the movie however at the end Elvis sang..LOVE ME TENDER me at 10 totally lost it. I cried I mean I scared my mother to death because it was not just crying it was hysterical I still cry when I listen to him sing. 63 years later. I loved him then I love him now.
Similar to me, when I was 11. My older sister brought home a weekly newspaper, and there was a scene from Love Me Tender in the centre pages. I said to her, is that Elvis Presley?....I fell in love with Elvis that day. In my early teens I said 'Elvis Forever', and I meant it.
I had always imitated him and wanted to be like him. I am very grateful to have seen him perform in chicago in the 70,s. He was indeed the greatest singer there was. Best all around good man there was...a great human being who always remembered where he came from.....something we could use at this time.......
43 yrs today .. Elvis left the building .. and .. This Train is bound for Glory ... sung by .. Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins Roy Orbison and Jerry Lee Lewis .... WOW!!! ... too cool!
He had charisma to spare. Every person has not one bad word to say about the man if they are black, white, male or female the first thing they all say how amazing he looked. God I would give anything to be like him.
So many celebrities who met E have never said any bad words about him , if only he lived what he could have done for the music world is something we will never know ❤️man Keith Richards is still going 😁
I don't really think Elvis knew how loved he really was, not just by his fans but by his peers. Those were different times back then, I just think it would of been cool.
No doubt Elvis was loved and I do believe he knew how much he was loved because it was in him to love.. He loved people and he showed it and never had a problem showing his love. What happened to Elvis was the prescription drugs... That's it, it's really that simple and that tragic.
@@paulorlando5877 He hanged out with the younger Tom Jones, though. He kept himself away from the Beatles because he felt humiliated in their presence.
@@athenaminerva8954 You have No idea what the Hell your talking about Lady. Go do some research. It's come out sum huge Breaking News that not only Elvis but also Tom Jones both wanted to knock John Lennon out. Cuz if the stupid shit that Dead beat Dad said about America & the Army & Troops and so on. When Elvis let the Beatles meet him at his House in LA John Lennon was talking all this Shit about that and Elvis was old School you don't get they tried to end Elvis's Career many times the Government but back then they didn't know it. But Elvis did 2 Years in the Army at the Top of his Career when he held the World in his hands and they Drafted his Ass when he was in his Mind 20s an only Child. Which is against the law cuz you can't Draft an Only Son of a Family cuz he's the only one to continue to plant the Seeds to continue the family name yet there he was Drafted with 18 Year old kid's. He could of just did 2 year's in the Army doing special show's for the Troops but he said No. He said that's Not Fair to those other Kid's out there with me. I font want any special treatments I want to be treated just like them & he was an he did. Sleeping 6 Month's out of the Year out in the Fields in the Snow in Germany 15 Below ZERO. And you think he's gonna have some Foreigner invited to his House who are Huge Fans if his and started a band cuz of him disrespect his Country his Flag his Troops his President after he almost lost his entire Music & Movie Career. Use your Damn Brain Lady. Elvis wanted to kick his little scrawny Ass right there to see how much he could back up his Mouth. And it just came out that one time Elvis and Tom Jones were talking and someone said John Lennon's Name & Elvis said don't say that SOB name as it was going on in the News the President wanted to ban him & throw his Ass out of the Country. You want to come here and make all our American people's Money & talk Shit. Stay in your Country & see how much you make there. And Tom Jones said I don't like that SOB he said some stuff backstage & I wanted to take him outside to see how tough he was on his fees. You probably still don't get it. And I like Lennon but he's not in Elvis Presley Class all Street Drugs cheating leaving his Wife & baby Son to go off with some ugly bug eyed Gross Ass looking Yoko. Dude had No taste for Women. Elvis they started him on Pills the Government in the Army to keep him awake like they did Johnny Cash. Elvis was clean cut never took nothing up till then.
My kids were bought up with Elvis we always playedhis records on Sunday my Daughter is 48 and my son is 45 he still listens to Elvis on UTube like me the kids to day don't realise what they have missed Elvis was every thing a legend this will never happen again the King that changed the world in one night wow ! He was something breathtaking👑👑👑👑💔💔❤️❤️💘❤️💘💞
I was brought up on elvis, I now have 3 kids my 1st was born 8th January but my daughter who’s 11 is a huge elvis fan I sometimes find some of my elvis records disappearing into her room
I taught my 17 yr old grandson about Elvis, rags to riches story and how Elvis adored and respected his parents. Never forgot where he came from. Kindred ❤. now he loves his songs! Says his the sexiest man ever!
There will always be only one king of rock n roll and only one of the greatest man ever that's Elvis Presley I'm such a huge fan , I'm hoping to go to Graceland in august .
@@johnpeggybeckett1732 and it is true he did as did many other celebs, says a lot that he WAS in the casket many people have said he wasn't and the only reason for that is cos they jst don't want to accept he died he did die. !!! his family members and close friends all saw him in the casket there was an open viewing before there was the one the public was invited to go to!! larry Geller was the one to set his hair for burial and he saw it was elvis dead in the casket he was the very last person to touch elvis jst before the lid came down !!!
I would love listening to the Muhammad Ali interview because he loved Elvis so much and Ali himself said that that he was that he was the greatest I'll leave cared so much about him so it's just so touching just so warm feeling when you hear Muhammad talk about Elvis check out some more of the interviews if you haven't
The most important thing about Elvis Presley is that he believed very much in the universal King Jesus Christ and second was his beautiful singing voice!.
I wish they'd finish that interview. The rest of it is on UA-cam, and it's funny listening to him tell this story. :) Bill Medley did a song called Old Friend in, I think, 1984, as a tribute to Elvis. It makes me cry listening to it, it's so touching. The line that gets me is, "God, you were young, it doesn't seem fair. Would you be here if I could've been there? Old friend, my heart's crying once again." Here's a link. Beautiful pictures. Get a tissue. You can feel the love from Bill to his friend. ua-cam.com/video/N2RfG_uALCM/v-deo.html
@ 02:17 - Yeah, with the Alice Cooper bit - Elvis didn't become "fat Elvis" until 1975ish if not 1976. In 1970, he was still looking good in his prime! 2 years earlier, he obviously did his Elvis show "Comeback Special" for NBC in 1968!
Reply to Judy Motto: I agree with you, Paul McCartney is SO full of himself. He always has been. I am English, and I can see that. There was. and still is, nothing and no one on earth to compare with Elvis. The greatest, most beautiful, most talented, and most charismatic man ever born.
Rubbish! The Beatles dethroned him! They wrote their own music and evolved artistically so well. Elvis did well only in the 1950s. Even then, he never wrote his own songs. He sponged off others. In the 1960s, he declined at a fast rate. In the 1970s he became a dead man walking. He became a mere relic of the past. Even Stoller who (with Lieber) wrote some of his most famous songs once said Elvis became a parody of himself. And, by the way, Stoller also said that the Beatles were second to none in every department.
@@athenaminerva8954 Right. And you could add that it's because of the Beatles (and others) that Elvis had to make his comeback in 68 and move his ass a little. Not for a long time !! By 72/73 he was already "tired". But Elvis fans will tell you that he was exhausted, sick and his divorce blablabla, and that nasty Colonel Parker etc ...Those fans probably never heard about singers like Mick Jagger who has more energy at 76 than Elvis had in his late 30's !!! (Sorry if my English is not that good).
Nobody can compare with ELVIS! Never this Rap Shit its horrible! ELVIS is the greatest Singer of all time, and the most beautiful man that ever walk on this planet! ♥️♥️♥️♥️💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
I got my mother and her sister tickets to see the great Elvis Presley in I can't remember, but I believe it was in 1973,maybe, but for the very first time I had ever heard my mother, may she RIP, but she told me, son, my pants got wet!!!I didn't know how to take that at the time, but I have known for years what she meant, I am by no means gay, but Damn he could ROCK!!
I was 16 years old...1978... We saw that Elvis had a concert at New Haven Coliseum, now torn down...It took 3 months for the tickets to come in the mail! When they came @15 dollars each...we were screaming! That day I'll never woman screaming he was the be King
What's so hard to believe is that one human being can be that great looking and have all that talent. I would have given my left testicle just to have half the looks Elvis had. If there ever was a god who walked the earth then it had to be Elvis.
I see it in some of today’s stars too but when you look at tapes and interviews how much pressure he’s under and how everything was in the public eye. It’s unfortunate because at the end of the day they’re just people, human beings, with worries and fears. People that get tired and need a break, that need a support system. People that mistrust and cry and need personal space.
Gracias a todos ustedes stefes grandes. Por teferirse de esa forma tan hermosa y empatica hacia Elvis Presley el hombre más talentoso y hermoso que ha caminado por este planeta...
Forgot a lot of people that met him: Jose Feliciano, the other Beatles, The Jackson 5, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, BB King, James Brown, Junior Parker, Sal Mineo, David Bowie, Sam Samudio(Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs) etc many many other not mentioned. Should come out with a part 3.
Elvis was one of a kind.there will never be another.he was a prodigy. Unique. He had that sad look.that made u love him.and he was very generous. He will not be forgotten.
I've ALWAYS said that God made the most beautiful man EVER when he made Elvis! I'm sure that him and his twin brother Jesse are in heaven singing for God and the Angels! None of us, even Elvis, are without sin, but Elvis truly loved God and his mama...that's the Elvis that I fell in love with! I was a little girl when I fell in love with Elvis and I can truly say that he was my first True Love! Imagine a 13 year old girl being in love with a 42 year old man...he could have been 82 for all I cared because I would have still loved him!
Apparently, Bob dylan met Elvis, and wrote a song about it. It's an obscure beauty from Bob titled Went To See The Gypsy. It is on the great NEW MORNING album. In it a dancing girl screams at Bob, " Go on back to see the gypsy,, He can move you from the rear, drive you from your fear, Bring you through the mirror, He did it in Las Vegas and he can do it here ".Dylan fans have always attributed this to Elvis. and there were rumours that they met.....Thank you for an extremely interesting video. such an eye opener!
3 роки тому+1
for awhile on some stupid tv show like SNL they would do skits making fun of Elvis. i remember hearing Dylan say, You don't make fun of Elvis. Went to see the Gypsy is a great song. "He did it in Las Vegas, and he can do it here.'"
The movie is showing how amazing he was, Austin is fantastic our new movie star, how Austin is dressing also may bring back glamor to Hollywood and kindness, cause Austin is kind like Elvis was. Elvis entertained but never talked politics, that would be nice to get back to that.
Baz, the one that directed the movie. Went back to Elvis his childhood Street neighborhood and talk to Elvis’s friend when he was a kid. Such a beautiful interview look it up
No, Little Richard (and I'll add Chuck Berry) do not deserve the title King of R&R. First, it's not the artist who picks that title, it's the public who decides. Elvis never liked the title, stating that only Jesus was the king. In the case of Michael Jackson (king of pop) it was not the public, but his publicist who demanded the media & public relations always include the title with his name in advertisements. Michael was an excellent showman, but I would not say he was remotely versatile for singing all art forms in the manner Elvis did. Elvis went from being a rocker, to a movie-musical (not always great movies), to country, to a major balladeer on the level of opera singers. He simply did it all. This fact is acknowledged by black performers as well. When Elvis did R&B, most times it was not a Cut & Paste job, rather it changed from being ethnic R&B black music and turned into rock. I feel Rock & Roll is not always synonymous with R&B, it had a country white influence mixed, which is much underrated and seldom discussed. I have (and love) both versions of many R&B and White cover songs, and I do see a difference. So just as Elvis "owned" the song, My Way from Frank Sinatra, he did the same with this song from Jimmy Reed (Baby What you Want me to do). Elvis did it better than the original artists for almost every song he covered, be they black or white. Back to Elvis' contemporaries (chuck berry, little Richard, Jerry Lee), I like the few big songs they had, but truthfully I think the lack of their contributions would not have altered music drastically, and their chart success was dismal beyond those few hits. This is even after music was desegregated when they had decades to release songs, but they didn't go anywhere. They never rose artistically to the level of Elvis. Elvis was the most versatile performer, able to sing all music forms.
You just told the truth. Little Richard and Chuck as good as they were where very limited. I remember back in the 70s and 80s they were almost forgotten, nobody was talking much about them let alone listening to the music. Only these days do they come up when this generation are trying to diss Elvis. They are overrated. Elvis performed and sang in his own style, a fusion of rhythm and blues, gospel AND country, people seem to forget that. Soon after Elvis evolved hugley, way beyond rock n roll and left them all behind. He was unique and immensely talented in so many different areas.
elvis first hit was in 1954 chuck berry and little richard 1955 james brown 1956 jerry lee lewis 1957 so how people that came after the king elvis was first i checked the date of the first hits
ELVIS.....THE MOST FAMOUS HUMAN IN HISTORY

Elvis creator of Rock and revolution around the world
Yes I agree he was if only some people would listen to his music and not say he was racist to colored folks which is a bunch of crap and is not true.
He didn’t created it, but he definitely blew the doors wide open that changed the world.
I agree....it was by him that the music change

When Elvis walks on the stage, you just get the fuck out of the way. There's nobody else on that level, I don't think there ever will be.
Well except for maybe Michael Jackson who just had to stand still and people fainted. But yeah Elvis was very charismatic.

I cried I mean I scared my mother to death because it was not just crying it was hysterical I still cry when I listen to him sing. 63 years later. I loved him then I love him now.
I'm sorry with you too,I understand your heart 💔💔😥,please 💪💪strong🌹🌹👍👍/from..Thailand(kon Thai=คนไทย)🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🌹🌹
Similar to me, when I was 11. My older sister brought home a weekly newspaper, and there was a scene from Love Me Tender in the centre pages. I said to her, is that Elvis Presley?....I fell in love with Elvis that day. In my early teens I said 'Elvis Forever', and I meant it.
Just the best. Paved the way for all the greats.
...but he remained the greatest of them all...
Brilliance no other word for Elvis xx
Oh yes, yes!!!!
Who is "Elvis xx"?
Best clip....James Brown....respect among artists
I had always imitated him and wanted to be like him. I am very grateful to have seen him perform in chicago in the 70,s. He was indeed the greatest singer there was. Best all around good man there was...a great human being who always remembered where he came from.....something we could use at this time.......
wow never heard the story on how johnny cash met elvis,,,,,, he worked his very first concert as a guest for elvis! freakn amazing
43 yrs today .. Elvis left the building .. and .. This Train is bound for Glory ... sung by .. Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins Roy Orbison and Jerry Lee Lewis .... WOW!!! ... too cool!
He had charisma to spare. Every person has not one bad word to say about the man if they are black, white, male or female the first thing they all say how amazing he looked. God I would give anything to be like him.
..........At 4:18 two of the 4 people on stage did not get the memo that this was not an Elvis impersonation night.
So many celebrities who met E have never said any bad words about him , if only he lived what he could have done for the music world is something we will never know ❤️man Keith Richards is still going 😁
I've read countless stories about Elvis. He was always kind and polite. His mother raised him well.
I don't really think Elvis knew how loved he really was, not just by his fans but by his peers. Those were different times back then, I just think it would of been cool.
No doubt Elvis was loved and I do believe he knew how much he was loved because it was in him to love.. He loved people and he showed it and never had a problem showing his love. What happened to Elvis was the prescription drugs... That's it, it's really that simple and that tragic.
I think Elvis kept himself isolated can't picture him hangin out with the younger British bands lol.
@@paulorlando5877
He hanged out with the younger Tom Jones, though. He kept himself away from the Beatles because he felt humiliated in their presence.
@@athenaminerva8954 You have No idea what the Hell your talking about Lady. Go do some research. It's come out sum huge Breaking News that not only Elvis but also Tom Jones both wanted to knock John Lennon out. Cuz if the stupid shit that Dead beat Dad said about America & the Army & Troops and so on. When Elvis let the Beatles meet him at his House in LA John Lennon was talking all this Shit about that and Elvis was old School you don't get they tried to end Elvis's Career many times the Government but back then they didn't know it. But Elvis did 2 Years in the Army at the Top of his Career when he held the World in his hands and they Drafted his Ass when he was in his Mind 20s an only Child. Which is against the law cuz you can't Draft an Only Son of a Family cuz he's the only one to continue to plant the Seeds to continue the family name yet there he was Drafted with 18 Year old kid's. He could of just did 2 year's in the Army doing special show's for the Troops but he said No. He said that's Not Fair to those other Kid's out there with me. I font want any special treatments I want to be treated just like them & he was an he did. Sleeping 6 Month's out of the Year out in the Fields in the Snow in Germany 15 Below ZERO. And you think he's gonna have some Foreigner invited to his House who are Huge Fans if his and started a band cuz of him disrespect his Country his Flag his Troops his President after he almost lost his entire Music & Movie Career. Use your Damn Brain Lady. Elvis wanted to kick his little scrawny Ass right there to see how much he could back up his Mouth. And it just came out that one time Elvis and Tom Jones were talking and someone said John Lennon's Name & Elvis said don't say that SOB name as it was going on in the News the President wanted to ban him & throw his Ass out of the Country. You want to come here and make all our American people's Money & talk Shit. Stay in your Country & see how much you make there. And Tom Jones said I don't like that SOB he said some stuff backstage & I wanted to take him outside to see how tough he was on his fees. You probably still don't get it. And I like Lennon but he's not in Elvis Presley Class all Street Drugs cheating leaving his Wife & baby Son to go off with some ugly bug eyed Gross Ass looking Yoko. Dude had No taste for Women. Elvis they started him on Pills the Government in the Army to keep him awake like they did Johnny Cash. Elvis was clean cut never took nothing up till then.
@Steven Arnold ...OK ...STEVEN. ..you are funny as He'll with those titles ...lol.
He seemed like such a a nice person and at the end of the day that's all that's matters :) god bless him may he RIP👏🏻
Love this documentary of Elvis with all stars
Elvis is the king, the one and only....idolize by many, even the presidents
XOXOXOXOXOXO................I only wish the kids today, would listen and learn about Elvis. I try to teach my grandkids. Miss you Elvis.
Yes I agree
My kids were bought up with Elvis we always playedhis records on Sunday my Daughter is 48 and my son is 45 he still listens to Elvis on UTube like me the kids to day don't realise what they have missed Elvis was every thing a legend this will never happen again the King that changed the world in one night wow ! He was something breathtaking👑👑👑👑💔💔❤️❤️💘❤️💘💞
I was brought up on elvis, I now have 3 kids my 1st was born 8th January but my daughter who’s 11 is a huge elvis fan I sometimes find some of my elvis records disappearing into her room
I taught my 17 yr old grandson about Elvis, rags to riches story and how Elvis adored and respected his parents. Never forgot where he came from. Kindred ❤. now he loves his songs! Says his the sexiest man ever!
Ali an Elvis , the voices of a generation of a century
There will always be only one king of rock n roll and only one of the greatest man ever that's Elvis Presley I'm such a huge fan , I'm hoping to go to Graceland in august .
+cindy alldredge I went last July and I loved it!
They said that James brown had to be carried out from viewing Elvis's casket in gracelands he wouldn't leave Elvis side
It is has been said that James Brown sat there for as long as four hours alone with his casket.
😞😞😞😞oh my goodness iam crying Elvis is VERRRY !!!loved and Missed We love Youuuuu💙🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😊🙏🏼
@@johnpeggybeckett1732 and it is true he did as did many other celebs, says a lot that he WAS in the casket many people have said he wasn't and the only reason for that is cos they jst don't want to accept he died he did die. !!! his family members and close friends all saw him in the casket there was an open viewing before there was the one the public was invited to go to!! larry Geller was the one to set his hair for burial and he saw it was elvis dead in the casket he was the very last person to touch elvis jst before the lid came down !!!
Graceland not Gracelands.
I love listen to Alice Cooper talk about how he met Elvis
Aways Elvis, only Elvia forever Elvis!
ELVIS!!!!
I would love listening to the Muhammad Ali interview because he loved Elvis so much and Ali himself said that that he was that he was the greatest I'll leave cared so much about him so it's just so touching just so warm feeling when you hear Muhammad talk about Elvis check out some more of the interviews if you haven't
Elvis the One and Only The King 4Ever I Can't Help Falling in Love With You😎😎
The most important thing about Elvis Presley is that he believed very much in the universal King Jesus Christ and second was his beautiful singing voice!.
Larry Jung Thank You Larry that hit the spot on what you just summarized!
Totally agree with you!!
Nah, that's the least important thing.
Great pure brilliance xxxxx
Wow! Says what a wacky sense of humour Elvis had. Great composition! "Hi Bill". Walking across the stage.
JAMES BROWN IS A CLASS ACT.
Elvis, Did not like being called the king, he said there was only one king the Lord
Elvis was being humble and promoting his religious beliefs. He is still the Undisputed and Supreme King of Music on planet Earth✌🏼
This is to the last guy, don’t know who you are or what you sing but with Elvis walking in to your show, it gives it a boost
+sakinehbs s Bill Medley from the Righteous Brothers. "You've lost that loving feeling" is their biggest hit.
Bill Medley might be more familiar to you as the singer of "Time of my Life" from Dirty Dancing. He and Elvis were friends for years.
DirtyHarry G Yeah ! & ELVIS version from THATS THE WAY IT IS IS BETTER.
I wish they'd finish that interview. The rest of it is on UA-cam, and it's funny listening to him tell this story. :) Bill Medley did a song called Old Friend in, I think, 1984, as a tribute to Elvis. It makes me cry listening to it, it's so touching. The line that gets me is, "God, you were young, it doesn't seem fair. Would you be here if I could've been there? Old friend, my heart's crying once again." Here's a link. Beautiful pictures. Get a tissue. You can feel the love from Bill to his friend. ua-cam.com/video/N2RfG_uALCM/v-deo.html
The looks of ten Film-stars, voice of a Gahd, soul of a Saint, dance of a Devil! Thang U verrr murrrrch!
Good Night, sweet King!
And the great country singer Charlie Pride met him and was one of the first at graceland to comfort Vernon after his death.
🙏
You've got to be big time when people like Robert Plant and Paul McCartney are in awe of you!
Robert Plant is one singer I wish Elvis had done a duet with.
I was so shocked to hear he died and I didn't know he had health issues so it came to my sadness I would never get to attend his show.
I saw Elvis perform 5 times
Can't say enough bout the GOAT
@ 02:17 - Yeah, with the Alice Cooper bit - Elvis didn't become "fat Elvis" until 1975ish if not 1976. In 1970, he was still looking good in his prime! 2 years earlier, he obviously did his Elvis show "Comeback Special" for NBC in 1968!
When Elvis was lying in state at Graceland, James Brown asked for permission to be alone with his body. And got it. Wonder what he said to him.
My dad was a carpet installer he did all the carpet in Elvis's bel-air home and his palmsprings home's.
Wow he was blessed
KING Size aswell 😉👍
Reply to Judy Motto: I agree with you, Paul McCartney is SO full of himself. He always has been. I am English, and I can see that. There was. and still is, nothing and no one on earth to compare with Elvis. The greatest, most beautiful, most talented, and most charismatic man ever born.
Carole Griggs RIGHT ON CAROLE, WELL SAID.
Rubbish! The Beatles dethroned him! They wrote their own music and evolved artistically so well. Elvis did well only in the 1950s. Even then, he never wrote his own songs. He sponged off others. In the 1960s, he declined at a fast rate. In the 1970s he became a dead man walking. He became a mere relic of the past. Even Stoller who (with Lieber) wrote some of his most famous songs once said Elvis became a parody of himself. And, by the way, Stoller also said that the Beatles were second to none in every department.
@@athenaminerva8954 Right. And you could add that it's because of the Beatles (and others) that Elvis had to make his comeback in 68 and move his ass a little. Not for a long time !! By 72/73 he was already "tired". But Elvis fans will tell you that he was exhausted, sick and his divorce blablabla, and that nasty Colonel Parker etc ...Those fans probably never heard about singers like Mick Jagger who has more energy at 76 than Elvis had in his late 30's !!! (Sorry if my English is not that good).
They say Ringo Starr was full of himself, too.
John Lennon had said without Elvis there wouldn't have been The Beatles.
@@MonsieurBellamy 😂😂😂
Nobody can compare with ELVIS! Never this Rap Shit its horrible! ELVIS is the greatest Singer of all time, and the most beautiful man that ever walk on this planet! ♥️♥️♥️♥️💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
No need to throw insults to praise elvis. Elvis stands alone and always will!! Rap has its own legends. Elvis made sure never to insult any artist.
Ditto
I got my mother and her sister tickets to see the great Elvis Presley in I can't remember, but I believe it was in 1973,maybe, but for the very first time I had ever heard my mother, may she RIP, but she told me, son, my pants got wet!!!I didn't know how to take that at the time, but I have known for years what she meant, I am by no means gay, but Damn he could ROCK!!
I was 16 years old...1978... We saw that Elvis had a concert at New Haven Coliseum, now torn down...It took 3 months for the tickets to come in the mail! When they came @15 dollars each...we were screaming! That day I'll never woman screaming he was the be King
Led Zepplen is the band of another universe
What's so hard to believe is that one human being can be that great looking and have all that talent.
I would have given my left testicle just to have half the looks Elvis had.
If there ever was a god who walked the earth then it had to be Elvis.
joeblack
Ain't nobody that wants you ball, mate.
There's only one GOD and it was not Elvis. Elvis was our gift from god.
I see it in some of today’s stars too but when you look at tapes and interviews how much pressure he’s under and how everything was in the public eye. It’s unfortunate because at the end of the day they’re just people, human beings, with worries and fears. People that get tired and need a break, that need a support system. People that mistrust and cry and need personal space.
Gracias a todos ustedes stefes grandes. Por teferirse de esa forma tan hermosa y empatica hacia Elvis Presley el hombre más talentoso y hermoso que ha caminado por este planeta...
Iloveyou elvis
Forgot a lot of people that met him: Jose Feliciano, the other Beatles, The Jackson 5, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, BB King, James Brown, Junior Parker, Sal Mineo, David Bowie, Sam Samudio(Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs) etc many many other not mentioned. Should come out with a part 3.
Elvis was one of a kind.there will never be another.he was a prodigy. Unique. He had that sad look.that made u love him.and he was very generous. He will not be forgotten.
I've ALWAYS said that God made the most beautiful man EVER when he made Elvis! I'm sure that him and his twin brother Jesse are in heaven singing for God and the Angels! None of us, even Elvis, are without sin, but Elvis truly loved God and his mama...that's the Elvis that I fell in love with! I was a little girl when I fell in love with Elvis and I can truly say that he was my first True Love!
Imagine a 13 year old girl being in love with a 42 year old man...he could have been 82 for all I cared because I would have still loved him!
Thanks for uploading this!Love it!
Apparently, Bob dylan met Elvis, and wrote a song about it. It's an obscure beauty from Bob titled Went To See The Gypsy. It is on the great NEW MORNING album. In it a dancing girl screams at Bob, " Go on back to see the gypsy,, He can move you from the rear, drive you from your fear, Bring you through the mirror, He did it in Las Vegas and he can do it here ".Dylan fans have always attributed this to Elvis. and there were rumours that they met.....Thank you for an extremely interesting video. such an eye opener!
for awhile on some stupid tv show like SNL they would do skits making fun of Elvis. i remember hearing Dylan say, You don't make fun of Elvis. Went to see the Gypsy is a great song. "He did it in Las Vegas, and he can do it here.'"
@ It IS a great tune! My fave from that album, which is so under rated!
Four HOF guys singing a gospel song for Elvis!
Elvis was part Native American Indian and caucasian, hence his gorgeous looks! :-)
Native _American Indian Yes he was I think from his cherished mother!
Yes from he’s mom he’s dad was side was scottish
Yes, part Cherokee Indian from his mother
One of his ancestors on his mother's side married a Native American woman named Morning Dove.
Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Roy Orbison are the Million Dollar Quartet 2.
The movie is showing how amazing he was, Austin is fantastic our new movie star, how Austin is dressing also may bring back glamor to Hollywood and kindness, cause Austin is kind like Elvis was. Elvis entertained but never talked politics, that would be nice to get back to that.
We will always rem you Elvis... a true gentle heart. we will meet again in Heaven...
Fascinating insight - love these
Great Upload.....Thanks:)
I went to Graceland last year
Baz, the one that directed the movie. Went back to Elvis his childhood Street neighborhood and talk to Elvis’s friend when he was a kid. Such a beautiful interview look it up
Great great James Brown great yuo and Elvis was HISTORY.
I love these stories.i live Bill Medley. Bill loved Elvis and Elvis loved Bill.
good looking Elvis was,
Mmmmm Elvis Presley ❤️
I am a white dude, if the great James Brown says Elvis was amazing and he loved him, well, that’s good enough for me
3 biggest are elvis . Bruce lee . Ali.
John Wayne, Marlon Brando, Pele, John Lennon also
Elvis, Sinatra and John Wayne.
There's God Almighty, Jesus Christ and then there's everyone else.
Michael Marion Morrison born in Iowa...became John Wayne...did you know that? Well yeah !
No, Little Richard (and I'll add Chuck Berry) do not deserve the title King of R&R. First, it's not the artist who picks that title, it's the public who decides. Elvis never liked the title, stating that only Jesus was the king. In the case of Michael Jackson (king of pop) it was not the public, but his publicist who demanded the media & public relations always include the title with his name in advertisements. Michael was an excellent showman, but I would not say he was remotely versatile for singing all art forms in the manner Elvis did. Elvis went from being a rocker, to a movie-musical (not always great movies), to country, to a major balladeer on the level of opera singers. He simply did it all. This fact is acknowledged by black performers as well.
When Elvis did R&B, most times it was not a Cut & Paste job, rather it changed from being ethnic R&B black music and turned into rock. I feel Rock & Roll is not always synonymous with R&B, it had a country white influence mixed, which is much underrated and seldom discussed. I have (and love) both versions of many R&B and White cover songs, and I do see a difference. So just as Elvis "owned" the song, My Way from Frank Sinatra, he did the same with this song from Jimmy Reed (Baby What you Want me to do). Elvis did it better than the original artists for almost every song he covered, be they black or white.
Back to Elvis' contemporaries (chuck berry, little Richard, Jerry Lee), I like the few big songs they had, but truthfully I think the lack of their contributions would not have altered music drastically, and their chart success was dismal beyond those few hits. This is even after music was desegregated when they had decades to release songs, but they didn't go anywhere. They never rose artistically to the level of Elvis. Elvis was the most versatile performer, able to sing all music forms.
You just told the truth. Little Richard and Chuck as good as they were where very limited. I remember back in the 70s and 80s they were almost forgotten, nobody was talking much about them let alone listening to the music. Only these days do they come up when this generation are trying to diss Elvis. They are overrated. Elvis performed and sang in his own style, a fusion of rhythm and blues, gospel AND country, people seem to forget that. Soon after Elvis evolved hugley, way beyond rock n roll and left them all behind. He was unique and immensely talented in so many different areas.
elvis first hit was in 1954 chuck berry and little richard 1955 james brown 1956 jerry lee lewis 1957 so how people that came after the king elvis was first i checked the date of the first hits
Also known as Shirley Bassey, Paul McCartney and Led Zeppelin
