Hearing those songs from the very records Elvis listened to was so special. Thank you.
He had amazing taste in music. Can you imagine what the value of that collection is, even without his name attached?
Fantastic collection of elvis favourite music collection and such a diversity of music long live the king
This was great. I didn’t want it to end. Just thinking about how music influenced Elvis. So amazing.
Takes me back many years and wonderful to think that Elvis was listening to some of the records that I also bought at the time. Long live the King.
Thank you for including us all into the ELVIS record collection rare magic. This is a unique experience, and cannot be seen elsewhere. Well done to both of you. LONG LIVE THE KING.
This is fantastic! I have a Christmas 45 (with Elvis' music on it) that was gifted to me by a special someone who had received it as a gift prior from Elvis himself! 😋
What a collection Elvis was 15 yrs my senior but I can remember listening to a lot the same music when I was growing up those were great times
Me too....way over here in Australia😂
An amazing inside look into the kind of music Elvis liked to listen to. These videos are an amazing source of information in order for us his fans to get to know the man. LONG LIVE THE KING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd like to see his lp's ❤
This video was so much fun to see. Thank you so much for doing this for the Elvis fans.
I find it incredible that there's almost no mention of the vast gospel collection he had (both black and white gospel quartets). I love the channel but Gospel was his main infuence (especially the Blackwood Brothers and The Statesmen Qt) The before named Quartets recorded on RCA. Elvis used his contacts at RCA to automatically send every new release by these groups to him. On one press conference Elvis specifically mentions his love for Gospel Quartet music. Other than that love your channel ;)
Certain people are dismissive of his Christian faith ALOT. It annoys me too.
I wonder why also. They never mention his passion for gospel or the fact that he hired a quartet to be on call when he wanted live gospel music. That was their only job! No matter where he was at,if the mood struck he'd call them and fly them to his home(even in California) I forget the guys name in the interview I saw,but he said sometimes it'd be the middle of the night. He said it was the best job he ever had! He ended up working with Elvis as part of the male singers in his shows. Sorry I can't remember his name,but I've watched so many interviews on alot of UTube channels and quite a few are now passed. I think this guy is still alive,but probably in his late 60s or early 70s.
They must've pulled the non-gospel box.
Omg this is EXACTLY what I wanted to know!! Angie is WONDERFUL!! So PRO and a MUSIC appreciator! Thank You both!! 😘
Thanks for the video It was fun to see what music Elvis loved 😍
I think some records were demos sent by colonel parker for possible recordings. Colonel had to approve all demos before it reached elvis. Colonel only let elvis record songs that benefited them like having songwriters giving up most of their points or credits. So imagine alot of songs elvis could have recorded if it werent for colonel.
Elvis recorded "Danny" ('My name should be trouble...') for King Creole, but it was left out of the movie. That's probably why he had Gene Bua's version. Also - Elvis performed at least three Hank Williams songs - Your Cheatin' Heart in the late 50's, I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry for Aloha From Hawaii, and I Can't Help It (If I'm Still in Love With You) on the Home Recordings collection.
He had 18 golden boots for his country music! I didn't know that until yesterday when I was rewatching Gates of Graceland videos on UTube. The curater Angie was taking you through the Hall of Gold, where all his Gold and platinum records and numerous other awards are. She was pointing out a lot of overlooked awards that people miss because they are so dazzled by the records. That's when she pointed out the golden boots and also the golden Globe award for best picture for That the way it is. Just for Elvis being Elvis! He didn't have to act he was naturally entertaining.
As an Elvis fan and music fan the insight into Elvis's record collection is sheer joy to watch and hear. Angie, you have the best job in the world. It shines through that it is a labour of love for you being the chief archivist at Graceland.
Such a great video...loved hearing his records! So in my feelings right now!!
My record collection is mostly Elvis records , but the rest is as diverse as Elvis' was , from classical , to something from every big star in music history .
Angie shows a record "Danny" by Gene Bua with a few X's on it. She did not know what the X's meant . This might help. Elvis made a movie called "King Creole". It was based on a book by Harold Robins titled "A Stone for Danny Fisher". The story line was changed to fit Elvis but the name Danny Fisher was still used. He recorded the song "Danny" for the movie but it was cut out. It can be found on UA-cam. Conway Twitty recorded the song but changed the name to "Lonely Blue Boy". All three can be found on UA-cam. Check them out.
This is what we need more of! excellent + fun video!
He loved everyone,as far as listening because you can hear it in his music Linda!
Wow, great piece. Loved the way it was put together. Showing the 45's with 50's photos of Elvis listening to them. I would love to get my mitts on Elvis' records and peruse through them. I see lots of promo and freebies in there! Wonderful stuff!
Look at the picture both his albums released at that time were on the shelf and he's not even looking at either one he didn't have any idea how talented he was he had no idea
I had a few of the ones you mentioned/played. My collection was the size of probably one box.
Although, I did have a lot of albums. This was so interesting!♥️ Thanks for sharing!
elvis did quite a few beatles songs but i always figuerd if he could cover one solobeatle song it would be "Maybe, I'm Amazed" i could totaly hear Elvis sing that.
Elvis history has told us he could take most artists big songs , and improve on them by putting his own stamp , arrangement and energy on them . So i would wager he could have done so with Beatles songs , especially their early hits . Damn Elvis even made " ol Macdonald had a farm " , sound like a great pop song .
The thing I love most to learn about my favorite artists and bands is the music that influenced them, and the music they enjoyed
That is so cool love it
This was so incredible to see, Wonderful video. Thanks for sharing such a great part of E's life with us.
My parents have that Beatles record ☺️☺️ from the 60s!!
This was great! After going to Graceland and seeing the jukebox setup in the TV room, I've wondered what records Elvis owned. Thought it was very cool how they showed the label of the record while you heard the actual record - static, pops, crackles and all. Thank you for sharing this!
+js402 I LOVED all of it TOO! It sure is the way to listen your records ..pops, scratching & all!
Love this vid! 😘 Thanks so much for sharing all your vinyl.
Someone may have already told this but the X marks on a record were put there by the record company so that radio stations would know which side they wanted them to promote. Sometimes a DJ would flip a record over and the B side would become a smash hit. I still have all my 45s and I still enjoy them.
Damn, wish I still had my 45's
Awesome thanks for sharing this with us. ELVIS SINGS AND COLLECTION IS GREAT. ❤️❤️☮️☮️☮️😃😊👌🖐️👍

Wow what a great collection, but they owned by a great man so what did you expect.
Absolutely loved hearing those actual elvis records, I will save this video and watch it time and time again.
Many thanks and luv the show.
I love this !! I still have my records . I have that record Percy Sledge , When a Man Loves a Woman and Soul man for sure , but I need to go through mine and see if I still have any of my Elvis records . I use to have albums too . I'll have to check and see which ones I still have . I still have a Loretta Lynn and Conway albums too . I miss those days . Thanks for sharing this great video .
Love all Elvis thing love see more
Thank you for sharing!!!
Great insight into what he listened to..really dig these videos..carry on the great work
Elvis recorded two Hank Williams You’re Cheatin Heart and Im So Lonesome i could cry then home recording of Cold Cold Heart pretty cool stuff
STILL WAITING ON MY DIGITAL JUKE BOX!!
Oh I totally get records and listened to them growing up and I'm 26! I have a record player and a collection :) It does have a unique sound
Cherie Wolfe I'm 25 and won't listen to anything else!
W. Goebel n by
Im 10 and have records
As they pulled these out I went to UA-cam music and listened to them, even the Sun records stuff
Great stuff ! Keep up these great little films, love them
Great trivia. Wish I had a collection like that.
7:50 - that Beatles record is obviously a cast off from a radio station.
Wow amazing!
loved this video! thank you!
As you go through i'm going on UA-cam and listening to each record. Thanks for doing this.
Wow, that would have taken some time!
Any Cliff Richard in there? I know for a fact Elvis had 'Living Doll' in his collection which was #1 in the UK when he was in the Army. The b side to that Apron Strings is a song Elvis planned to record when he got out of the Army and there is a private recording of Elvis singing that song.
I wonder if Elvis ever made a trip to Hamburg when he was stationed in Germany. Can you imagine him visiting the same places The Beatles did just a few years before them.
Elvis presley is a music lover
You must have some collections of clothing, music, Elvis's taste in furniture, photos, camcorder videos. Really looks amazing.
13:07 It would really be something if Elvis owned a recording of Brahms Fifth Symphony, especially considering that Brahms only wrote four symphonies 😀
VIP access
🤷♀️🤭🤭🤭🤭🤦♀️
I wouldn't be surprised if he did,he loved the full sound of and orchestra. He also listened to opera.
The 45's that have a X marked on one side probably came from a radio station prior to Elvis owning them, it was common at that time for a DJ or an A&R man for a label to put the X on one side to indicate which side to play on the radio. I have quite a few myself, most are pretty common. I know these are unique cause they belonged to Elvis.
What no Robert Goulet songs? Lol 😂
I’m thinking those 45s would have been for skeet shooting. Yet I’m thinking he probably would have used a 45 caliber to really get the job done. I’m sure he had a 1911 in his collection of guns.
I would love to see Elvis's comic book collection
Great Great Video.
Love these vlogs.
the X Means its the Play side if they came from George that was the side marked for plug
Please sell the "Elvis Jukebox"! We would love to hear what Elvis liked! Thanks for sharing!
+Miguel Aguilera Mario Lanza for one.
That would make a great iTunes, Spotify, or Apple Music playlist!
@@toddhensley880 or SiriusXM channel
Soul man . Great song !
Elvis, so handsome.
Great show
Elvis Presley is my favorite singer
17:29 I knew it!! :D was he a fan of Buddy's? i would loved to hear Elvis cover a Buddy tune. i think "Its So Easy" would be more Elvis' style.
I'd love for Graceland to somehow with copyright BS release the song titles to his personal record collection
First comment!... joking, I'm not one of those people. LONG LIVE THE KING!!!!!
Very cool 😎
Would love to hear that record by Elvis grandfather
It's on UA-cam
@@clifffor1179really?? What ISN'T on UA-cam these days...
On that Beatles 45, "Revolution" was the flip side. "Hey Jude" was the hit (which he covered ).
Read the records darn! How can we see the list of all the songs!
I have some of those same records.
very cool, thanks for the video! is there a complete list of Elvis' Graceland record collection?????!?!?!?!?
Aww! Anita!! If he was the marrying type, EP should have stayed with her!! But I’m biased because I read her book ☺️
I was always curious what was in elvises record collection elvis christmas album was the first record or cd i ever owend period now i have everyone
Anita Wood 'I'll Wait Forever' issued June 1961. Not while El was in the army.
Hello! That DOES look like Elvis' writing on the Hey Jude record!!! Exactly like his writing and I would bet anything it was his...who's with me?!
I'm with you Linda! That's the Kings hand writing
For sure!
wow😚😚
Elvis covered 2 Hank Williams records . ;-)
Your cheatin' hearts and the other i don't know
He did "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" for the Aloha From Hawaii broadcast. He stated that it was probably the saddest song that he had ever heard. If he ever recorded it in the studio, I am not sure.
😍😍
Love to hear the stories of Elvis. He loved Roy Orbison . It's so sad he died so young. Too bad his manager cared more about gambling than Elvis's health.
They don't seem to understand that most of the marks on the labels are for radio DJs. Elvis obviously picked up old records from radio stations. And as for the heavy wear on some records, that is caused by juke box play.
rockingoat I agree. it's what dj's (still) do.
The record companies sent the records to Elvis just like they did the radio stations and jukebox companies. My grandfather was in the jukebox business and they would send him new releases even after he was out of the business.
@@dbaugh1805 When was Elvis out of the business?
First of all, amazing video, however......as a vinyl record archivist in 2016 not knowing that theres a vinyl resurgence happening is pretty unacceptable, haha.
The Xs were meant for radio djs so they knew what side to play
in the 60s the cassettes came out.. Did Elvis have a large selection of cassettes?
perhaps the ex's on Demos were done by the record company? were they in the demos only? if so, maybe it was done by the record compay to say it was for airplay or demo purposes only. (?)
Could you please share a digitized list and digitized labels of the records that were in Elvis' personal record collection. I'm disabled and can't visit Graceland in person right now.
Mr. Joe Guercio [7-17-1927 to 1-4-2015] was with Elvis from 1970 to 1977. ELVIS AUSTRALIA: Interview with Joe Guercio [July 5, 2020]: QUOTE; Mr. Guercio made a few "creative" choices and became known as Presley's Best Calling Cards. Peppy horn fanfare played during stage enterances and exits was Mr. Guercio's Composition. He also came up with the Idea to OPEN Elvis' Vegas shows [Feb. 20, 1971] with Richard Strauss'; Also Sprach Zarathustra, best known as 2001; A Space Odyssey. ELVIS AUSTRALIA; [Oct. 8, 2006] Joe Guercio Speaks About The Songs Elvis Should Have Recorded. QUOTE: One aspect of the Elvis Tour Life closely associated with Guercio is the Opening Music of the Theme from 2001; A Space Odyssey (Also Sprach Zarathustra) WHICH WAS "HIS" SUGGESTION. I READ about that many years ago. Mr. Guercio and his wife before she passed, went to finally see the film. His wife [BIG SMILE] said: When you hear the Theme song; "You Expect To See Elvis Come Out On The Stage". Me too. . . .
Linda, Priscilla
I love American Trilogy
9:20 did he cover that? was that the "missing "King Creole" song?
It was going to go in king kreole but it didn't he still recorded it
Did Elvis not have any 78s LP or 8 tracks in his collection?
Is REALLY love 2 kno?????????
If Elvis got the promo's from a radio station then the X usually men't that is the side you don't play the one with out the X was the plug side usually or could be from the record label the X could indicate the same thing the X would be maybe the idea of what they wanted him to record
I have read to where marty lacker at one point told elvis that the demos that were sent to him for possible recording was inspected and approved by colonel parker. Parker only sent elvis demos that songwriters who were willing to give up writing points or credits. So elvis got mad and told his memphis mafia to get as much great sounding demos for him to record. elvis said I dont care about songwriting credits. thats where suspicious minds and other great songs came in. It was around 1969 and a little after. But colonel parker got his way again in the 70s and all demos went through him. So maybe those x marks on the records were approval by colonel parker.
(4:00) Well the Song Evil & Trouble have not much in common exept both is a blues based song, like so many! Please don`t tell such inaccurate things...thanks
"Trouble" is a blues song written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, originally performed by Elvis Presley in 1958 and covered by a number of artists in later years.
I bought a copy of baby let's play house by elvis from poplar tunes Memphis

Please send me your phone number adriana
I want to know if Angie ever met Elvis? And how did Angie get this amazing job???
She was Vernon's fluffer before he died
She would have been about 5 when Elvis died. After starting her career at Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. at the age of 17 as a tour guide, Angie transitioned to the Graceland archives, a department she now heads. In addition to managing a staff of 14, who assist in maintaining and preserving the collection, she oversees the tour operations department and guest experiences at Graceland.
