Now that you have feasted on the main course, how about some dessert?
The goal of Elvis: Behind the Image THE SERIES, is to share bite-sized vignettes of unique, little-known, Elvis adventures that focus on true life accounts in the life and career of the man BEHIND the legend.
This video series is - by design - comprehensive yet more concise than typical documentary productions; It is adapted in this venue for today’s fast-paced, time-restricted world, but also geared towards Elvis fans who share our passion for the factual history of intriguing events that have yet to be fully explored in fine detail.
For this reason, many fascinating components of certain episodes lead down a separate rabbit hole that cannot be fully explored without breaking the stride of the intended focus of the episode.
Sometimes those rabbit holes lead to fascinating stories in and of themselves, and may warrant a separate future episode… but many are merely fun, short tidbits that inquiring minds like ours want to know. They are all short, supporting sidebar material - intended as a bonus addendum to the full story showcased on the official ELVIS: BEHIND THE IMAGE UA-cam channel and provided for the more serious or curious fan - for your viewing pleasure. Consider them FREE, Elvis flavored after-dinner mints ...with our compliments!

I actually have thought of this often.
I usually post he was America's greatest gift to the world.
He brought people together better than any world leader ever has.
Elvis brought me my husband. We met at a festival and now we have two children!!!! The enormity of that!!!!!! Is intense.
This video is a gift. Thanks so much for making this. It’s simply beautiful and so true.
Elvis sang a song and we all fell in love!
Elvis always. Nice to meet you Bud ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Who else do we know of that has people from all over the planet pilgrimage to his burial site, not once, but twice a year, in the thousands. For over 40 years too.
There will never be another nobody will ever come close to Elvis! Such a beautiful, kind soul! He gave us everything he had it's so very sad he felt so lonely 😔 Elvis said he wondered if he would even be remembered. Linda has said that once they were laying in bed talking watching the cameras at the gate she said Elvis they love you he said they love the image. He wondered if anybody loved the real him that's just so sad he was truly a beautiful,giving, caring soul. He said to someone he knew he was so lonely they ask you have all these people around you how can you be lonely, he said their not real friends they love the image. Elvis was always helping people and children and he didn't care about getting recognition for it. A interviewer once ask him look at all this you have everything he told them he would give it all up to have a normal life with a family. It just breaks my heart when people talk bad about him ,they have no idea how he really was . His manager worked him into an early grave for the money he even had to work to pay off Parkers gambling debts, Parker was a piece of shit! I wish everyone knew what a truly kind ,loving soul Elvis was 🖤
Hi Mitzi...have you seen the new Elvis movie? I hadn't planned on watching it until I heard that Priscilla & the family approved...I recommend you see it..it does an AWESOME job of pointing Col. Tom Parker out for exactly what you said he was! Elvis died when I was 7...I had just found him & cried for a week straight thinking I'd never see him again. I use to stay inside every Sunday while the family was outside grilling & playing to watch Elvis movies alone! I sat & wrote the words to every single one of his songs the day of his funeral. Of course I've watched so many "movies about his life" over the years..but nothing has ever been made like this. I really hope you get to see it!
That echo will never die. The world would be a different place if not for Elvis. That's not being OTT, just a fact if you think about it long enough.
We lived in Memphis in the early 70.s.i worked with a guy who knew where his parents lived on the next block beside Elvis.s house.i took my wife and sister there.the wife knocked on door and she said someone that looked like Elvis answered the door.my wife asked if Elvis was home.he looked at her as if to say I am Elvis.but instead said he.s not home.when my wife came back to the car I asked her what happened. She told me I said that was Elvis but I didnt want to bother him anymore and we went home.but that's a memory for life.how many people have had the door open.d by Elvis.
I'm sure Elvis never forgot her either.
Elvis hoping the door for me to my heart my mind my soul and the love of God thank you very much I don't say your dad because I don't believe you are your music was on your concerts live on and you live on in the world's heart of people thank you
Sorry about the last comment I'm sure everybody knew what I was talking about I apologize and I thank you for bringing me this specific video thank you

I hope that helps. 😊 Don't worry it just shows how excited you are about Elvis.
Met loads of friends because of Elvis. At conventions and Disco's. Haven't met a bad Elvis fan yet. Thanks Elvis for your Brilliant music and for being a fantastic Human Being
Yes you right ☺️
@@anthonykerr311 Yes Elvis fans are great people. 👍 Just uploaded a video with photos of Elvis and Lisa Marie. On my channel. That's if you won't to take a look. 👍
I work with a young girl of 24, although she knows who Elvis is, she has never listened to him. I showed her a video from the 68 Special - 'Baby what you want me to do', and after watching it, she said..."oh my God, how can I not know this....i'm in love with Elvis" haha. The power of this man.
This legend will never die
So many mornings, the only reason why I get up and try, is becuase I tap into a little piece of Elvis' swag and style. I tell myself that maybe I will wow a crowd just a little when I enter a room, or charm a girl that would otherwise ignore me. And most important, maybe I can be human and flawed like him, and still be respected and even a little admired. Thanks E...your the King. SIP (swivel in peace)
I couldve made this great comment word for word myself. Im right there with ya Danny Boy! 🤘 Hope your doin well out there!
This is the most loving and intellectually honest short doc video ever produced on Elvis Presley. Congratulations, Bud. TCB
I have never seen this video before, and yet it's over 2 years old. I don't know how I could have missed it. Its a beautiful and emotional 10 minutes of tribute to truly the greatest entertainer the world has ever seen. Yes , "Behind the Image ...there's a man." An exceptional human being who had a heart as big as the noon day sun.
A man who changed EVERYTHING, musically, socially culturally. He had looks to die for, Charm and Charisma in spades, a voice that touched the very core of our being, and a generosity of spirit and soul like no one I have ever met, or ever even known of. Yes, and people all over this earth of ours, people of every race colour and creed, I believe could see the internal man that was him ,.....and we loved him, as one of our very own cherished and precious family members. When Elvis Aaron Presley died the entire world wept.
In a way Elvis has never left the building.
Thank you so much for this wonderful video, it was a labour of love. ELVIS......"A PRINCE FROM ANOTHER PLANET"
That is so awesome. Understanding just how many of us he and his music has connected and how much joy he's brought to us all, there's nowhere else that Elvis could be but heaven. He was truly one of a kind.
Yes! 100% Agree with you, I have met so many friends from all around the world thanks to Elvis & have often said The Man is a huge gift that keeps on giving ❤⚡
SO ADORABLE LOVED BY MILLION PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD
I've met people all over the world that I would have never connected with without Elvis. After that, I find we have more than just Elvis in common.
Thanks Bud for helping keep Elvis in our thoughts and a respectful tribute is so appreciated.
Love the work you do for us Elvis fans. I am now pen pals (yes old school) with someone in Holland because of Elvis and now have friends from Mississippi.
It was a penpal in San Francisco who got tickets for us for an Elvis concert in 1976. We flew from Australia to see him. That never would have happened without this penpal❤❤
Elvis was a true gift from God❤
God bless this man ... thank you Bud for your spot on analysis of his unique force in so many lives . Always Elvis !!!
Always missed but Always in our HEARTS NOW AND FOREVER MORE .ANOTHER ANGEL GONE FROM OUR LIVES ,MY HEART STILL AND ALWAYS WILL BREAKS FOR OUR LOSS ❤😢
Just love Elvis and his songs. Wish his mum lived longer to help him live out his dreams. No matter he is still with us.
Well said!! That is so true!! Elvis forever!!
without Elvis Presley I would have been dead long ago, I had a rotten life as a child and his music gave me the strength to carry on. and indeed I have friends worldwide that I would never have had otherwise.
Here to say the same . He saved me
Hi Bud,
What a beautiful mini doc you have made.
It's something that you don't really think of but it's so true. People who I have met on the Internet and became friends with go into hundreds. I call them all my Elvis family. Even though we haven't met we have so much compasion for one another, it's unbelievable. Thank you Bud, so beautiful and compassionate.
I subscribed as soon as I saw your first video about the cross. I have just got to catch up on everything now ha ha. Thank you so much Bud xxx 💝
I will never forget Elvis. One day I will meet him In heaven❤❤
To me 🤔 Elvis was a fixture in my life 👍 never a day that goes by i don't think of him and his Music, charisma, and life. I'm going to be 66 on Dec 25 yes a Christmas baby 🎄and how i would have meet him once 👌a Great Video Bud 😎 🙏🇺🇸🎄
Budd. This is one of the most beautiful tributes to Elvis I have seen. It’s quite magnificent and I’ve shared it to my 120,000 members on my his truth is marching on group and page. I did a thesis on Elvis for my journalism degree touching on this and got first class honours. This may be one of the most important fan videos uploaded. TCB
I think also 👌 it's a amazing Tribute to Elvis forever❤️RIP Elvis🙏
Miss him.. but listen to him everyday. Thank you Elvis for all the happiness you give me everyday of my life!!!
elvis forever the king of all music ......still TCB .
Here's another way of lookin at it........Go ANYPLACE on the planet earth, and ask people this question....."Do you know who Elvis is"? You don't even have to say Elvis Presley, just ELVIS, or go ANYWHERE on planet earth, and show a picture of Elvis, and ask them "who is that in the picture"? I GUARANTEE, Young or old, it doesn't matter, THEY'LL KNOW WHO IT IS, even if they're not an Elvis fan, THEY'LL KNOW IT'S ELVIS!!
One last thing.....Back in the late 90's, My Mom's Pastor from her Church, went to South America to do some missionary work, and he said this village they went to was way back and deep into the Jungles in a rain forest, and was talking to the people that lived in this little Village, that had no electricity, no running water, or anything else like what we have. The leader of this tribe invited my Mom's Pastor and his interpreter into his hut to meet his family, and soon as he walked inside this small, tiny hut, he saw hanging up only two pictures....One of Jesus, and one of ELVIS!!
Now Idk about everybody else, but to me, THAT SAYS IT ALL!!!
👑JESUS the KING OF KINGS🙏🙏 and ELVIS THE KING OF MUSIC!!👑
LOVE THEM BOTH!⚡TCB⚡4EVER!!
I been saying for last 30 years if you went to the jungle people would know the name Elvis.
I feel as if I know Elvis Presley, I grew up with him in my life, he has never left my memory.
Never forget him no one like him Love him forever
Hello from England
Elvis died 2 days before my 12th birthday. I remember this day as i was home from school helping my wonderful late mother make my cake. I remember watching the funeral of Elvis on TV (back then we only had 2 channels, the BBC and ITV). What sticks in my memory is seeing all those white Cadillac cars behind the hearse and there must have been at least 20. OMG
The heading of your video:: Elvis Presley's Greatest Accomplishment was ELVIS himself.
He was truly a " ONE OFF" thoughtful human being that gave the WORLD HAPPINESS and ENJOYMENT
He was "DIFFERENT
He DRESSED like nobody else
He SANG like nobody else
He had a "SWAGGER" like nobody else
But the Human species is not perfect. We all have flaws in our "make up" and Elvis had more than most. Elvis never quit and GAVE HIS BODY AND SOUL right TO THE END. Only 6 weeks after his last concert he died.
When Elvis came along my parents WERE ALL SHOOK UP. No one in Britain had seen the like but up to the mid 50's rationing was still in place and very few people had a TV so it was the radio they heard music. You know what John Lennon said about Elvis and where would Cliff Richard be without Elvis!!!
I call Elvis my IDOL and i love him and when you see how many young people visit Memphis each year the music will carry on.
Can i say that about any other entertainer? NO
But those were different times, different people and a different society
There were 17.
@@annettefluit3496 Hello
Thanks for letting me know. It makes sense because of 8th January being his birthday 1+7 makes 8
🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧⚡️⚡️⚡️👍 👍
@@joanne26 I believe there are other reasons, especially if you're awake to what's going on. The #17 has been used elsewhere.
VAL DU PREEZ (SOUTH AFRICA) THERE IS JUST ONE WORD FOR THIS, FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!
An Earth Angel of Love for God & all Mankind, a wayshower as a Universal Unifyer with sheer integrity. How Great Thou Art!
I'm an Elvis fan too but he wasn't an angel on earth. He cussed constantly and worse he took The Lord's Name in vain often, which is blasphemy.
Sorry I just get a bit uncomfortable when people say he was perfect or an angel on earth or something like that, because that idolizing him instead of hoping he repented of his sins and genuinely trusted in God alone before he passed. I truly hope he did, I hope he is my brother in Christ and is worshipping and praising Christ Jesus in heaven right now.
I hope you don't get offend by my comment, I just get concerned people idolizing him and other celebrities which breaks the 1st and 2nd commandment of the 10 that God has written on every man's heart.
If I'm off on how I read your comment and it's not really how it reads, forgive me.
Just think one day we might be able to hang out with him
AMEN to this courageous and honest acknowledgement.. Elvis Presley did bring people from all different places together in awesome wonder..sort of..
Beautiful video about our dear Elvis Presley. Thank you very much, Buddy! From Rio - Brazil HUGS🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷😘😘😘
So true Bud he's brought so many people together i have many friends throughout the world due to Elvis, its sad he's not here to witness his greatest achievement of bringing so many together he changed the world when he entered it and when he left us
Your videos are brilliant please do more 🇦🇺👍
Bud you have produced the best series along with Billy Smith I have ever viewed. Thank you, awesome job. Was so lucky to have gone to three of Elvis's concerts. Something I will never ever forget. 💖💖💖
Love this. Thank you for showing "The Man". SADLY, trying to maintain his image shortened his life. That makes me SO sad.
A-men!!!!!! Thank you, Bud Glass...for showing this...I have met a few people on u-tube....loving Elvis. He has done that, very true!
I love this genuine doc . Thank you for bringing out the truth of how kind and humble an icon Elvis is just listened all day to his gospel songs and last concert and found your channel . I feel his spirit and start singing and groovin again. I’m going to play .. try again my guitar like in 70 80 s the song you’ll never walk alone.. aka Elvis style and mine too. Have a beautiful day night Bud ( my dads nickname ❤️bless you ..Happy Easter 💐🌸🌺🕊✝️🕊
I only recently started on this Elvis journey. I have to say, I am amazed, hypnotized, deeply moved, and in awe of the life Elvis lived. I was born in 74, so I was very young when he left this world. Growing up, I really didn't give any attention to who he was, just seemed to be some guy on a velvet painting or heard crooning in the background as time went by . I turned 50 this year, and I guess I just needed to get old enough to be in the right state of mind to be able to not only dig in as deep as I can go, but to be able to appreciate what I am finding. It really all began when my partner of almost 20 years and I decided we wanted to get married in Vegas this fall. We have always been involved in music over the years, mostly bluegrass and jambands, and even used to perform together as the band Moonshine Summit years ago in Houston. We found out that our favorite bands were going to be coming together over a weekend in Sept. at the Westgate Hotel (formerly the International) for the Bender Jamboree festival. Also on site is a wedding chapel, Chapel of Crystals. We booked our passes for the music which included a hotel room, and also booked our spot for getting married by an Elvis impersonator. In learning that this used to be the venue that Elvis performed shows at, I decided to take a closer look at who he really was. Boy did I not see this coming! I fell deep into the rabbit hole, and have been watching everything I can find to put all the puzzle pieces together. It has been a lot to take in, getting to know him this way. It makes me a bit sad that I will never truly get to know or meet him, but I am moved by the fact that his "legend" lives on and continues to spread. He got one more fan, in 2024. :) I am very excited about the wedding to come, and can't wait to be at the "International" with all the back history and knowledge that I would not have had if I had not taken this journey into his world. I wonder who else will be there that will appreciate what we are getting to do, see multiple bands playing over the course of 4 days in one of the places where Elvis broke the ground and set all of this into motion, making it possible for all our current rock music to even exist the way it has evolved. I know I will have that on my mind when I am enjoying all the music and dancing with friends, as well as getting married and celebrating the best way I can think of. It will be one heck of a party/reception. I also want to thank you for putting these videos together to share with us all. Strange things are happening everyday!
Wow Bud! You are so right! Thank you❣️
You got that right everybody love Elvis you wouldn't believe the Black American that. Elvis and China and Japan they all love him like I do
Yet another great production Bud!!!! I know it is an act of love........................
Great video Bud, everything you talked about in this video has rung true during my entire life.
The LORD be with you.
“ What a Man “ Thank You B.G

You made me cry bro!!! I love ya man!!!
Very Well Done .... Thank You!
I came across your channel by accident I plan on watching all the episodes if possible but I will say I am 50 so I was only seven or eight when Elvis died and on your volume 1 the concert you mentioned I was eight days old. But I'm writing this to say that I live in Memphis have been born and raised here. My grandparents lived behind Graceland before a fence was up. They didn't know him as far as sitting down and having dinner but they knew him in passing and he was hit by that pond sometimes and called him by their last name Mr and Mr such and such he was very polite as we all know and as my grandparents told me. But, the one thing that was passed down to me that stands out is Elvis held my mother when she was a toddler. I was raised on Elvis Presley boulevard with all the stories and knowledge my grandparents could pass on they even ran the Elvis Presley RV Park. But the thing about Elvis even though I didn't know him personally I feel a connection to him, I'm sure a lot of people do and we can't explain why maybe was the interaction with my mother but I just wanted to say this thank you for doing the docs
An incredible message to the world bud and one that Elvis so richly deserves! Congratulations & thank you for keeping his memory alive and creating such a great video. 🤴🏻⚡️❤️
I like these three stories Bud thank you, Connie
Oh my just read you sang / wrote that song .. you have voice from the heart .. such a sweet song too .. Id love to hear more🙌🙏🎵blessings

We Will Always Love You Elvis you have a voice of an Angel when you sing acting the first time I was 5 years old I'll be 62 soon
Bud this is so beautiful. Such a connection amongst all of us. ❤I am literally crying over this poem. So so incredibly beautiful.
Excellent video🤗
Thank you ThankYou very much for this waiting on #4 I would like to take this time to wish you and your family Merry Christmas and all the best in the New Year stay safe my friend 🇨🇦👑🇺🇸⚡️
That was so powerful and so profound
Especially the end
Very much like his life and his death
Thank you 🤍
Very well said
Suddenly, in a bumper to bumper traffic jam, I realized I had to get over six lanes to get to the offramp. I knew nobody would let me in with the aggressive drivers in the SF Bay Area. I turned on my blinker and the car to my right waved me over. Then another car slowed and let me in. This happened for all six lanes. What's going on? Why is everyone polite? Then I realized that all the cars were going to the Oakland Colosseum to see Elvis. We were all fans, and together.
Amazing. 🥰
Your videos are so powerful and sensitive. Keep it up please 🤍🤍
Good day to you Mr. Glass. Thanks for keeping all Elvis fans interested in your items as well as other interesting comments. I do have a question for you. I have been curious if you were ever fortunate to meet the King? If so, good for you! My lst question for today would be .... who have you met that was very close to the King. Were they bodyguards, girlfriends? I was simply curios and hope that you may answer my question. As always Mr. Glass, I only have utmost respect for you and your business. Have a wonderful Spring, Nick E. Warsaw. .

Bud, thank you for this great video.
Elvis was the king at one time but he was no longer the king by the time he died, and he did that to himself.
