    Thank you Trey! I so enjoyed hearing Sally talk about Sam and Elvis. I really enjoyed His story about Cliff too! So sad that GK is no longer with us. Seems every year we're losing the last links to Elvis. The people that were around him while he was living.

    Fantastic story! Sam Phillips was brilliant when it came to music, as George Klein said he really knew his stuff, just look at his roster of singers that came from Sun Studios! Doesn’t surprise me of his respect for Sam..Elvis was so sensitive to people and knew good from bad! Sally was a delight to listen to..if only I could have been there 🙏 thanks Trey another amazing vid as always! TCB/TLC ⚡️

      Yes. I agree. Sally has no clue. Polk salad Annie was sung in 1970. Space odyssey 1971. Press conference was done before the show. I thought Elvis had a huge celebrity party after the 1st show. This lady is confused.

    Great sentiment from the lady of course but in 1969 Elvis walked on stage to the instrumental strains of Blue Suede Shoes. 2001 Space Odyssey wasn't introduced to the show until two years later. Elvis added Polk Salad Annie to his show in early 1970.

    Hello, Very nice story Sam Phillips was the best and a very very smart business man and a legend by himself he was always looking for something new in sounds and music and he did invest his money wisely to, to make him very very rich but that Space Odyssey was that not later in Las Vegas more in the 70's? And Elvis in the beginning Las Vegas years he was the untouchable King, and success with your channel.

    Elvis never ever forgot those who helped him along tge the .way. I would imagine that he felt he could never repay Sam for what he,d done for him, their bond was forever.
    Fantastic story about Elvis being Scotty,s corner, Elvis had a such a rapport with Scotty Bill and DJ, both as friends and musicians and he knew omly to well of their talent and how they enriched his vocals, and Sam was right, what Elvis and boys had was unique, and their own, no need to change it for anyone.
    I would imagine Sam was first on the guest list for his 69, Vegas open night., and Sally was right a night never to be seen or heard of again, one off in history.
    69 opening night, was Elvis,s night of rejuvenation, raw, ready, raucous and rebel rousing, still everything Sam had heard and seen from him in those very early Sun days. Away from live performing for almost 9 years, he,d lost nothing, and gained lots, the stage was his ready to command again and boy did he command it. He,d weathered the storm of hum drum of the obligated movie years and out of the public domain, he just wanted to show his critics he still had it. I'm certain Sam would have had watery eye even, so so proud of his boy out on that stage. Elvis thrived on approval so to have Sam in his audience that night would have made him even more determined to deliver, his gratitude for what Sam had done for him, Sam,s belief and faith in him had allowed him to fulfil his childhood dreams and he,d never forgotten it. Sally also speaks of this of night, with great pride and honour, a teatament to the man Elvis truely was.
    George Klein speaks of Elvis with such affection, and admiration and I'm certain he has many many amusing stories to tell about their time together throughout the years, he knew the real Elvis and just what made him tick, his loves, his laughs, his ups and his downs, a true friend until the end.
    Thanks Trey another great upload.

Once Elvis got done with that . Elvis was Elvis until he left us.The song Elvis sung I Did It My Way.. Well ELVIS DID IT HIS WAY !!! THE KING OF ROCK n ROLL..

    @trondgroenseth6084 3 роки тому +2

    And the song "Memories" stayed in the setlist no matter what Sally claims here...he never closed his shows from 1969-77 with that song either. Can't Help Falling In Love was the closing, except for the January/February 1971 Las Vegas season where he closed with "The Impossible Dream". And, Elvis spending the rest of the evening after the press conference after his sensational opening on July 31st 1969 in Sam Phillips' suite...really...? I think this is yet another "fake" or false recollection. Has this claim ever been fact checked? Too bad when people make up stories that obviously are wrong. Perhaps Ernst M. Joergensen's book "Elvis - Day By Day" can sheds some light on this?

      @@GlobetrottingWithTrey this is definately a good example of terrible recollection. Not difficult to understand of course considering it's been 50 years since it supposedly happened. I doubt very much that Elvis spent the entire evening in Phillips' suite. For one, the show on opening night started at 10:00 pm and secondly the press conference was at 12:30 am on August 1st. Was it during the early hours of August 1st. then? I'm not saying that she's lying, only that her memories are mixed up.
