- Documentary detailing Elvis extraordinary generosity. Featuring Linda Thompson and tons more people who knew Elvis; Jerry Schilling, Marion Cocke, Myrna Smith et al. included are 200 rare Elvis photos
Elvis is truly a national treasure. In the short time he lived in this country, he did more for other people than millions of others. If anyone deserves to have a statue on display forever and ever, it is Elvis Presley.
I was lucky enough to be in the movie "Double Trouble" with Elvis, in fact I am on the cover of the DVD with him. I am the guy playing the Fender Stratacaster on the right as you are looking at the photo or to Elvis left. Although being incredibly busy he took time to talk to us guys in the band and joke around a bit. I could sense the amount of pressure he was under and know for a fact that I myself could never have handled it. I think that pressure must have contributed to his early death. That experience of being in that movie with Elvis has provided me with so many stories that I can tell family and friends. I never imagined I would end up on the cover of the DVD with Elvis. A thousand years from now when people watch that movie someone watching it might just wonder who those lucky guys in the band with Elvis were...well I was one of those lucky guys. My name is Steve Allen and the group was the Fifth Amendment...we changed our name for the movie to the G-Men.
Thank you for sharing your memories! You are definitely in a very unique group of people having been privileged to work with Elvis!
It's so wonderful to have personal memories!
Steve Allen: oh! Wow! Can you tell me a story? 😌
That's a dream for so many, wonderful memories for you. 😊
Thanks
The greatest entertainer of the last century and now
Syd: greatest INTERTAINER of the world 🌍💜👑🙏
Amazing how we only knew about Elvis in the 70s just from listening to his songs and dancing in parties.
I was a teenager at the time but only now I have found out what a great person he was.
That's the darn shame about it! All the tabloids and papers did was tear him down and after he died he was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Can you imagine how hurt he was reading that crap when he knew he was a good person?
THANK U ELVIS!!!!! No celebrity or sports athletes do anything like Elvis did. IT shows he cared.
I agree with this song. Shine a light on Elvis. He was so super special. Love him always.
Couldn't we use more generous souls today in our world? Elvis advanced Race relations by touring with Sweet Inspirations,etc,etc.
Great to hear all the good stories from these people. Love Elvis.
The world is such a sadder place, without this wonderful Man and worlds Greatest Vocalist And Entertainer ever, God Bless you E.P
What a wonderful documentary! Just so precious Elvis! Love the song 200 Cadillacs.
Cadillac were his Favorite and he blessed people with these beautiful cars. He was a generous man with a big ❤
I never heard of a man that generous.
God Bless You Elvis !
This was a great video. The world needs another Elvis but there' ll never be another!
The greatest gift Elvis everr gave to all of us was his voice his shows beautiful man inside and out
I love this !! He was a beautiful man inside and out . He was a blessing to so many people . Elvis , you will always be loved and we will never forget you . Loved all of their wonderful stories about Elvis. If he had given me something I wouldn't never be able to get rid of it . Thanks so much for sharing this !!
Elvis Presley was a kind person who loved JESUS Christ🙏👍❤
I truly loved this short story of Elvis. It brought tears to my eyes in sadness & in admiration. I never was a fan, though respected him & his contributions to music & culture. I even, at the age of ten, remember the exact moment place & person who told me that he had passed. I had to ask this older girlfriend I hung with why she was crying so much & she told me at the V.F. W. Parking lot where we played kick ball that the king died. I said, "who?'" And she explained Elvis P. The king of rock n roll. I still didn't have immediate recollection of who she was talking about. It wasn't till she sang some of his songs did I recall. I don't know why this one person's death had such an imprint on my memory, but I believe it was not just her sadness but I felt my whole world nieghbors , family, everyone in my city of Boston, Ma. Was silent & sad. It felt like a huge wave of silence and sadness and she was the only one who talked to me about his death &.I was the youngest of nine children, so there was always chatter at my house. However, not on this day there was silence & a mood of silence that I couldn't understand. Well since Baz's new movie I've read & watched Elvis info. For hours a day everyday for a month now. I am so moved & understand now that very odd vivid memory of Aug. 16, 1977. I've never had a memory burnt into my mind As I did his death, even no I knew nothing of the gravity of what was going on. I'm so glad I can understand better the impact of his death that day. I just wished I had more images of him being a live. I am now a true fan & want my grandchildren to grow to know & love him as well. I love his humble loving humanity that touches my heart. If we had more people with his unselfish love for people our world would be such a better place. I pray his legacy will live & inspire others to walk a mile in others shoes before they critics & judge. I pray his smiling down on us with great humble happiness he hasn't been forgotten and his fans grow over years!!! So
JMC5-what a ABSOLUTLEY BEAUTIFUL. COMMENT! THANK- YOU. FOR. SUCH SPECIAL THOUGHTS!
Elvis Forever...❤
AmaZing Elvis Presley
ELVIS HAS A GREAT HEART, SOUL AND A GREAT GENEROSITY, HE LIKES SHARE HIS FORTUNE, BECAUSE HE KNOW , GOD GAVE IT ALL WITH TO HIM HIS GREAT VOICE.
Elvis is an angel indeed, that is the reason why billions and billions of people from every way around the world continuously visiting his Graceland. No other superstar able to match this kind of respect and influences.
Amen. Exactly.
I don't think evis was happy..
Billions and billions? 🤣
Rayner Pailus
For "an Angel" he had quite too many earthly vices.
600,000/year.
The good definitely outweighed the bad, what a man...
Elvis didn't even know it but he was sowing seeds and God Blessed him for that!
Elvis Presley was a God loving humble a caring man. He gave gifts a money from his heart ,,,,he loved making people Happy a singing songs to a lost a dieing world.
He blessed from God that’s why he generous he looked back when he was poor. I love Elvis Presley since I was 6 years old, until now I still listen his music! ☝️🤴🙏👍🎤🎵🌷❤️😘
I found these stories about Elvis absolutely fascinating.
He still gives me gifts every day..
ELVIS PRESLEY... a GENEROUS HEART a KIND HEARTED person his famous
Loved Elvis really enjoyed his concert in Houston Texas astrodome
This is one of the best videos I have seen of Elvis
Elvis proved he cared about people he loved. He wasn't just a fart...before a lot of shit!!! People can say whatever they will. Elvis was an awesome human being. I loved him, as much, as a fan could love Elvis.
Well said. I hate people who run Elvis down when they don't know fuck all about him. It's just jealously when it comes down to it.
Sad he died on the 🚽..shows u God has a wicked sense of humor
Diana Hayden; 😜😜😜😜
This are kind of people that we need in our society
Excellent! Elvis we will remember you forever!! Thank you for sharing with us.
Wow, that's what I've always loved about Elvis Presley. Please always remember the great thing about Elvis Presley. I'm sure he had flaws just like everybody on earth do. But the good always out did the bad. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE ELVIS PRESLEY.
L O V E WATCHING ELVIS AS A SMALL CHILD AND HE CAME TO MY HOME TOWN AND GAVE AWAY 12 MOTORCYCLES I HEARD. HE came AND PUT ON A SHOW, MY SISTER, AND BROTHERS WENT AND They SAID I COULDN'T GO SO I CRY MY EYES. OUT.SEE IF YALL CAN RUN THAT SHOW ON ABOUT GIVING IN MY HOME TOWN. ALL MY FAMILY LOVED HIM.THANKS FOR SHINING THE LOVED OF A Good MAN.
*
As Elvis said walk a mile in my shows cut me and I bleed !!
He was a Christian in the true sense of the word.He always thought of others and what he could do for them in a selfless way.
He was one of a kind. Very loving and giving. I hope everyone that knew him appreciated him for who he was. Elvis was very intelligent, so..he probably knew the ones who used him. Gone too soon.. RIP Elvis 🖤
When he said that I was 19 years old and I fell to my knees and started throwing up I could not believe he was gone cuz I love every song he ever wrote it
He really was a awesome human being. No entertainer has ever been as generous a Elvis was. Money meant nothing to him he gave it away as fast as he took it in.
I respectfully disagree. Money mental laugh to him. It was a way for him to give joy and happiness and what he didn't have growing up to others. He loved having the means to make other so very happy he was a very very good man!
My Kiddo sister was a Giver as well ,,, she would leave a generous Tip AND a nice pair of ear rings for the Server,,,
E' facile capire le persone in questa intervista. Chi lo amava e chi fingeva di amarlo. Guardate bene col vostro cuore.
An awesome, beautiful, stunning, montage of one mans life and how everyone he touched was made to feel very special. ..Truly an ✨Earth🧚🏻Angel✨ . ..Blessed Be✨
Beautiful is strange because we live in a messed up world so when beautiful is presented to you it feels strange.
A Beautiful Man with a Beautiful heart with alot of love. He gave to so many with gifts and most of all his love to his family and loved ones and all his fans. Elvis loved everyone one and everything. But most of all he loved his daughter Lisa Marie his only child. ❤
We've all heard about his generosity and giving things and cars away, but this video goes way beyond that. FANTASTIC! Thank you SO much!!!!
Excellemt! Thank you!
I agree!
This Video was Great. T Y for Shareing, I Loved Linda Thompsons book with Elvis
"A Little Thing called Life"
I thank Linda because she saved Elvis Life a Couple of times !❤❤❤
ELVIS WAS A KIND AND A HUMBLE....MAN...
HE CARED FOR PEOPLE... REGARDLESS....
like Linda said, He was also generous With his time, like all the time he spendt With fan meetings before his shows or when he went down to the gates of Graceland to talk to his fans and sign autographs for them. He also paid hospital bills for among other, Jackie Wilson when he was in a coma. And he gave many benefit concerts too and at Christmas , most years he gave 50.000 -100.000 $ to be split among different Memphis organisations . And he never detracted Any of his charity in tax either ! I have never heard Any other celebrety give so generous as Elvis.
Elvis forever
Great post...thanks!! I met Elvis and Linda Thompson in a Memphis gas station in July 1975 when one of Elvis' cars refused to start after getting gas. He and Linda were very friendly and kind. We talked for about 35 minutes standing out in the heat and humidity. They could have gotten into one of the air conditioned cars in their party but instead they stayed outside and talked to my girlfriend and me. He certainly was the greatest, most kind and generous entertainer the world has ever seen!
Wow what an exciting moment to talk about ,,lucky !!
John Faro ow my dream!! Lucky man
John Faro ]
OMG JOHN...no words for how lucky you were and WHAT that would have meant to me!!! WOW
Awesome story, thank's a lot for sharing!!!!!
He was a very very giving man! He gave to people that didn’t even know who he was!! He.never ever forgot where he came from, dirt poor living in projects! Elvis was a pioneer in many things, introduced drums to music, he didn’t want to wear jeans n tee shirts on stage so he started wearing his famous jumpsuits, he looked so good and gave a little disabled girl in a wheelchair at the stage a $35,000-$40,000 Opal ring!!! I bet they didn’t know how much it cost, I would have fell out of my wheelchair onto the floor if that was me!!! This is a great documentary on Elvis and how giving he really was!!! THANK YOU ELVIS FOR ALL THE GREAT MEMORIES YOU LEFT US WITH!!! WE ALL CHERISH THEM STILL IN 2020!!!!! 1/8/1935 - 8/16/1977 WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE ❤️ OUR KING
He got the idea for the fancy get ups from Liberace. He wanted to stand out for the fans.
God bless Elvis!
I daydream all the time how it would be to be so generous giving back like Elvis did it would be nice to see the looks on people's faces giving them gifts like cars this is why he was the king generous and kind hearted
Elvis was a good soul. Generous, caring and loving soul. He is now with the real king in heaven.
God bless you and yours Elvis.

Jesus is our King, even EP stated that all the time....he said, "Only Jesus Christ is our lord and king". I understand what you mean, but he never liked being called the King.
He had a personal relationship with the Lord, we all fall short of his glory, that's why we have grace...by his grace ( undeserved favor) we are forgiven.
That's right!
He was a king in a past life. This wasn't his first time, that's why he was able to give it all away. He knew money wasn't everything. The best thing you can do with it is to share it.
Elvis was a God given man. He gave everything he had to others. It's sad that no one was as good to him as he was to them! God Bless You!
Why do you say no one?! Immediately, I think of the wonderful African - American Woman who prepared his meals ( she was their the day he died) and other African?-Americans whom he trusted and whose church he attended. They quietly accepted him and respected him and his privacy! He openly shared (cars)with his Black friends too. Biased reports NEVER ask the GREAT Whitney Houston's mother Cissy Houston how she felt about him! She along with other Black ladies sang background for him for years!! Most of this' countries his-tory' is sadly told from just one groups opinion'/ perspective. This is unfair on many levels because for one, *****he too was a descendant of a minority ( Native- American maternal grandfather and a part Native- American and Jewish maternal grandmother) This is according to his most in depth pictured- documentary of his life. He resembled his Native- American Grandfather.******* Of course, he likely would want a full telling of his life! Further, Elvis sadly lived in the times just before Interventions became acceptable! Some have alleged that they really tried to aid him BUT WHAT THE YOUNGER generation Does Not understand; ELVIS PRESLEY was the most famous man on earth during his lifetime for years!!! Therefore, since his mother had passed and his father had for many years been a " practicing Alcoholic", though likely in recovery in his former years; who else would such a man have listened to?! Addendum: it appears one of his background singers was shown in this post for it looks like under a second.
She told you. BONITA HOBBS
La sua voce scavalchera anche questo millennio. Nello Italia
Such a shame this loving caring man passed away before his time was done.
I wonder how he would be living his life now in 2018. Touched so many life’s. RIP Mr. Elvis A. Presley
His time was done. God knows when it's time.
C R......I know what you mean but he should have had more years with Lisa, so maybe, just maybe, she wouldn't be going from marriage to marriage looking to fill a void that can't be filled.
He touched the world with his moves and kindness and songs that touched the heart and soul now I'd he would be alive he would be touching peoples hearts with the word of God and his gospel music. Millions would be lead to God who knows maybe he is. TCB. GOD. TOOK SAUL AND REDID HIS HEART AND MADE PAUL. so anything is possible with God. He. Can and will make it happen
He was so great, I'm crying watching this with love and joy, i wished i had seen him play, i adore him to this day, Rest in peace Elvis, you may be gone but you'll always live in my heart, I love you my king🕇⛧🌹🥀😚💨💋
Loved this documentary ❤ I've read many books that where written about his generosity. He was a lot of things, but what we all remember him is his great heart ❤ 💙 💜 💖
This was one the best documentaries on Elvis I've seen. Thank you.
It is so hard to find 😪 the words, I was old enough to go see Elvis before he left this world 🌎 💔 😢 I would have never known when or where he would have been, to see a concert, but now today I am sorry that I didn't try to see him, I know he was Loved, Spiritually, There was only one K i n g and Angel That was Elvis
I know In my heart ❤ that Elvis was truly an Angel 😇 💖 of God, I am sorry that God took him Home too 🙏 soon
There's one that's as good called Elvis a Generous Heart on UTube. It tells of all the charities visiting inmates on Christmas Eve and talking to each individual prisnor, getting them lawyers and some jobs after they got out and helping their families out etc. Also things in the paper he'd read about a tradgedy and give them what they needed paying hospital bills for ordinary people and stars down on their luck. You really should check it out!
Elvis lived in the moment if he wanted anything he would buy it . If he waned to buy anything for family or friend he had the money he could afford it he would buy it , there has never been anyone before and never has been since or indeed will there ever be anyone that has done that . most celebs might spend a few hundred on anyone but not thousands to jst anyone someone they never even met as Elvis did. celebs today are building up their wealth til they can't even live off the interest their masses make every year without throwing thousands for things that wouldn't cost that much . like i heard the beckhams paid out $1,500 for a breakfast , they didnt need to spend that much , its cos they have so much money they don't know wat to do with it . But with elvis he stored up his riches in heaven god loved a selfless man . RIP Elvis
Elvis never did anything small. He believed, if you are going to do it, do it big. Cars, rings, motorcycles, it didn't matter. Giving his heart and soul to people. In the songs too. Being generous to a fault. I can't believe some relatives took advantage of him. There never will be such a kind, humble and shy person. He lived for his fans, family and friends. Elvis was down to earth and wanted to share his death. Helping organizations with donations. Not everyone knew this. Elvis didn't want recognition for this. Thank you for sharing memories of Elvis. A fan for life. Long live Elvis!
Thank you you tube for posting beautiful pictures of the birth day ce lebrator elvis he is. So generous
Smoldering !!
Elvis was and will always be the King baby!!💪🙏
THE KING IS LEGEND !!!
I bought this DVD when it was fairly new, I can't rememeber the exact year, but I remember buying it in a mall!!!!!
Elvis was an angel`!! ♥♥♥
I well always love you Elvis ❤
His hair seemed to have a life of its own
I hung up on Elvis twice when he called my dad. I thought it was a joke. I miss him now.
Who’s your dad?
Fast Food Review And Coffee Too! A
Love ya mate the king
Like You song I thank you for keeping up with memories alive everybody I could speak for in the world finally agree can we only have one king
How could ANY of these people who were gifted a caddy by Elvis ever sell it???? I'd keep it forever!
skyforme I would never sale
Maybe they're in dire need of money at the time or they can't afford the maintenance of an expensive car.
Skyforme, and Elvis knew this. He told one person that admitted to him that they downsized, well ok then, it's ok, that means I blessed you twice. Lol
Beautiful STRAIGHT man. MISS you sweetie! Elvis why not more people like you who are wealthy & kind? He could only give his deep heart to his mom. I think his mothers death had such a profound effect on him that he would never ever give away his heart again. I can understand that.
DJ FONTANA said it perfectly. When Gladys died. Elvis died too. He just never showed it to anyone else.
I met Elvis 1st cousin Donna Presley, she was great loved so kind.💓
Thank yuo trevor O sallivan for this video. ELVIS was an Angel. Never came's man with Elvis to this earth. Never came's artist with this earth.Elvis forever.
Elvis and his giving heart ❤️
Elvis was the highest tax payet while he was alive, be needed charity.
I CAN NOT WAIT TO GO TO VISIT GRACELAND... THIS YEAR...IN OCTOBER / NOVEMBER....
A DREAM THAT I WILL NEVER 4 GET.... CAN'T WAIT....
MEMPHIS TENNESSEE....HERE I COME.... YEAH....!!!!
Oh, how generous he was! Mr. Elvis is needed for the world today. There are the needy ones and the world can not do anything for all . He maybe is the right man to help the world. Well, even so but, every one ought to carry his/her own load. Just thought so. May God bless your good heart, dear Mr. Presley.
Thanks for liking.
I think Linda Thompson is lovely and its apparent she's intelligent ,those big words
The king had a big heart.lt would of been great to see him in concert but I was only 5 when he passed.
“Love” The Greatest Gift of all !
Elvis forover
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE ALL Classic cars from the 50's & 60's! :-D
I LOVE ALL Classic cars, the music from the 50's & 60's, the hairdos, the drive-in movies, the Gentlemen & Ladies who acted as such, the clothes, the Good Ol' Times back then, And i Love a Gentleman who loves working on Classic cars and on old motorcycles! :-)
I WANT a Classic Cadillac TOO (they're ALL SO Pretty, But i seem to Love the pink color, a white Or a red color a lot more than the other colors)! :-D
she still looks great wow she is beautiful oh im talking about linda thompson
Elvis Aron Presley: I wish I knew for sure you are still alive. You are/were sooooooo Generous, and that is so rare, giving to individual people. I've never heard of anyone else like that. Never. I wanted to give you some gifts, but they wouldn't be anything worth much money, just symbolic things and hopefully practical for you to use. Of course, I wouldn't know how to find you either, if you are still on the earth. Anyway, thanks for all you do for so many.
I do wish Elvis had married Linda Thompson she was good for him,such a sweet lady ❤️. She cared about him that’s what I get from her interviews I feel she was the one who had his back ✌🏼
Edward egan she did but she wanted children and wanted an equal partnership and normalcy. She stated Elvis’s lifestyle would not be fit in raising a child the way she would hope
To.
She was more of a nurse to him than a girlfriend.
Never marrying Pricilla but Ann Margret would have lengthened his life as Parker would be gone. Ann was headstrong and saw through Col bullshit.
David Hunt im not so sure it was stated she had problems with alcohol abuse. Also two head
Strong egos clash. Cilla was and always will have his heart and visa versa, nobody can change what was or what
Is.
@@davidhunt3689
Ann Margaret had her own demons, especially in the 70's. She had a terrible car acccident and had to take strong pain killers and she was an alcoholic for a few years. She was and is a very strong person, she won the fight against all these demons.
They loved each other till the day he died, but i don't think that this marriage would have lasted.
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful video and thank y’all people his life God bless y’all R.I.P. Elvis Presley 🙏❤️😘☝️🤴👍🎤🎵🌷
What's gets me is sonny and red acted like elvis would support them the rest of there lives he clearly gave them countless gifts then they wrote that book and then they tried to say that they wrote it to help elvis bullshit rusty wells says that I never believed that
Thanks for sharing this Trevor!
Elvis is a wonder in flesh and blood but he was a rare begin.
Excellent! Thank you!
i cant help but chuckle when some of them say they really dont need a car but Elvis tells them yeah they do
This is great! Thanks.
Thank God they knew how to spell when they write “Elvis’ friend”. So many shows write “Elvis’s “ makes me wanna scream! Lol
I hope Elvis is still alive he deserves his life back and to have some happyness pour into his life,such a genuine guy it would be great to just have him as a friend without benifits,we need more people in this world like Elvis
Elvis is not alive dear, but he has liten heaven like a Xmas tree!
He not alive. Only in our hearts!
Awesome, thank you my friend for uploading =D
Elvis did give everything what he had away he better did keep a little bit for himself and he did help so many people with money cars houses but when Elvis needed help no one was there to help him so called friends write a book about him talking trash about him, a manager who takes 50 % of his income, where were the goods friends .
Yes more so called friends could have gotten him help. Esppecially his Dad and the Memphis Mafia. The Colornel only wanted his.money
Who ever heatd of giving 5 0% of your salary to. your manager..Yes he was in a trap and could not get out. Too many depended on. His money
manfred meyer my father always said a person is very lucky if they have 1 good friend in a lifetime. The colonel was a snake. And good ole dad wasn’t looking out for his interest either. Elvis had a heart of gold. I always thought that he and Ann Margaret should have married.
Barbara Williamson Elvis got caught up in stardom and just wasn’t a business person. Parker was a former carnival barker. And yes his dad sure didn’t help him either. When Parker thought Elvis was finished he left. From what I have read the daughter has gone through the money and there is not much left.
Billy Smith (his cousin) Jerry Shilling, Charlie Hodge, Larry Gellar come to mind as his true friends 👍🏻
Andrew&Natalia S. There were a few others who loved Elvis as I cannot recall all their names. His band mates. I know Elvis was very fond of JD Sumner and he him. George Klein was another. Elvis did have some great people by his side when he needed them.
Awesome! Jerry Schilling: '...Lisa was about 6 years old and she's peeling off the bird on my trans-am" lol
+mysteryjesus Jerry's book is so good; Jerry was a very grateful man. Lving heart, for his boss,
Kevin Barry Of course he did!
All these people keep on Elvis alive memories Olive fell in love with Elvis when I was five I know it sounds stupid
This was beautifully done for an *AMAZING MAN* named Elvis..
A wonderful Doc.
.What a great video , What a decent guy Elvis , Everyone said he give from the heart , He had the looks and very gifted, may he rest in peace.
