    He didn’t steal anything from anyone, he took something and made it better. He gained the knowledge of black music and made it better. He loved everyone black, white and brown, everyone. RIP ELVIS

      I dont like the image that he "gained knowledge" as it sounds like he went to the poor section of town and took notes and went back to make music.
      He grew up with it and it was a natural part of him. He grew up in the "black community" with that influence as a kid.

      That’s odd. Thor is only king I know. A Magic Palestinian rabbi who tortures ppl for not having curtan religion, tells you to hate your family and friends and only love and worship him.. Still after 2,000 years endorses and sanctions slavery, rape, looting, genocide and child genocide. Forced marriages and stoning the females I’f not virgin. That doesn’t sound like anyone who is deserving to be worshipped as a king nor God. Elvis I’m sure if he would have researched and studied his indoctrinated Abrahamic religion his parents labeled him under has a infant, he would been smart enough to not fall for his indoctrinated beliefs. Got to remember all these ppl back then whom was racist, we’re extremely religious. The Bible literally endorses and sanctions owning ppl as property that you can beat and pass them to their offsprings to own forever. It’s an divisive and racist book, but clergyman and religious apologist try their hardest to cherry pick and re-interpreted 80% of the doctrines to not make it sound so barbaric and evil to keep ppl in the religion, in the churches full, so they make millions off the ppl wanting a promise of a life after death. It’s all a scam, And humanity’s longest going scam.

    "What most people don't know is that this boy is serious about what he's doing. He's carried away by it. When I was in Memphis with my band, he used to stand in the wings and watch us perform. As for fading away, rock and roll is here to stay and so, I believe, is Elvis. He's been a shot in the arm to the business and all I can say is 'that's my man'. THERE IS NOT A RACIST BONE IN THAT MAN'S BODY, AND I SHOULD KNOW." -- BB KING.

    Every night after he was exhausted after a concert, he was tired and soaked from sweat, he would still gather up his Back-up singers, and go back to his dressing room, and they would sing Gospel songs for another hour or so. He was a Christian man, but he had his demons like we all do. Elvis was a really good Human Being.

    Elvis was one of the few who pried open the door for amazing black performers to walk through and made sure he never got any credit for it. He wanted them to shine. And it's true Elvis always made sure his girls got the star treatment because they were just as important as he was in his performance.

    I`ve been an Elvis fan for decades, and when you know a lot about him, it`s more than just loving his music. Being a true Elvis fan means trying to be a decent human being. The moment you do something indecent or disrespectful, it`s as if Elvis is kicking you out of the fan club.
    That`s why I find it so hard to bear when people treat his image disrespectfully by making fun of him or even telling lies about him.

    It makes total sense to say that Elvis may be dead, but he will never "die." Unlike any other musician in popular culture, he changed society. His impact was far greater than any other musician ever. Was he the most talent ever? Technically, probably not...but the total impact he made hadn't been experienced before and hasn't been experienced since. Anyone who thinks he "stole" music doesn't understand what real music is. He brought real attention to artists and music that deserved so much more attention than it had received prior to him. I am thankful for that.

    Elvis was only 42 when he died! God called him home, now he's singing with Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Jimi Hendrix for Jesus!

    Another great documentary I would encourage you to watch is "Elvis: Return to Tupelo". It shows what his childhood was like, how he was exposed to the music that influenced him, and how he began his rise to stardom. Teaser: it tells how, as a baby, he was dragged along in a cotton sack while his mother picked cotton. It's really good!!

    The 'black community' are the people who inspired all music with the gospel and rhythm and blues, we in the 'white community' have a lot to be thankful for. Elvis was instrumental in joining the races, with fun and harmony

    Elvis also had many charities of which he didn't take off his taxes. He said to give is to give freely.

    It is amazing how much Elvis touched people through his music and how quickly people forget that he didn't come from what they perceive white people to come from. He grew up poor in the projects, sang in an all black choir, went to a radio station with a black DJ to have his record played, etc. I remember my mother telling me that Elvis was racist when I was younger and it didn't sit right with me. I didn't know anything about him but it made no sense that someone who detests black people would sing our music. She tried to explain it by saying that the songs were catchy and popular and that's why he "stole" them but it still didn't make any sense to me because again.. if you hated a race why would you even bother singing their songs?
    I am glad to see in this video that my mother was definitely wrong and my gut instinct was right. No matter how many times I heard someone say that Elvis was racist and he "stole" black people music, although I would say: "Uh-huh" (cause frankly you can't argue with someone who holds that belief so deeply) I just KNEW it was wrong and that he must have respected the black community.
