      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.

      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.

    "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.

The black projects were right near him. He has cross-racial friendships with kids in the neighborhood. He started going to the black church services to sing and the pastor asked him to join the choir. He had hit gospel albums.

    The only gospel music I’ll listen to is Elvis Presley.
    He’s the King of Rock N’ Roll but he could sing anything. Elvis is a member of many Halls of Fame, including the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Country Music Hall of Fame, Gospel Hall of Fame, Rockabilly Hall of Fame, Memphis Music Hall of Fame and Mississippi Musicians Hall of Fame. He also earned 3 Grammy Awards, all for his sacred music. He’s still the top selling solo artist of all time, Garth Brooks may have caught him but I think Elvis’s estate put out a few new records over the years.

    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 didn’t like being called the King- fans dubbed him that- he said “there’s only one King, and that’s Jesus Christ.” ❤️💙👍✌️

      I guess he attracted the title because he was generous and brought lots people together, being kind....

    That comment about once something is exposed it is open to duplication is powerful, never thought of it that way before. Some people occasionally abuse that though sometimes, claim to have invented things, but Elvis never did that. Great video

    My first live concert was Elvis. My parents took me. I was 9 years old. My son is now 28. He knows who Elvis is.

    I was born in Los Angeles County in 1951. I remember in 50s when i was very young, my mother, who loved to sing and she loved Elvis. I swear she would open the windows and the front door and turn up the volumn all the way when Heartbreak Hotel came on the hi-fi radio. All the kids loved that about her

    Ignorant people hated Elvis and his relationship with the black community. He was getting death threats. But he said I'm not doing anything wrong. He wouldn't let them change him.

    Elvis cut a shitload of gospel records. “Crying in the Chapel” is one of my fave songs of his.

    Wow. It really surprises me that you didn't know about Elvis's gospel roots. I grew up listening to Elvis gospel albums every Sunday morning.

    Priscilla deserves a lot of the credit for keeping Elvis's memory alive . They always loved each other , even though circumstances kept them apart. I've always thought she tried to make up for her mistakes during their marriage by promoting his artistry after his death ! I believe they would have reunited had he lived and I applaud her for all her efforts !

    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

    I think those that say Elvis was a rip off artist don't really understand what he truly did for the black entertainers at that period in time. It was a time when segregation still existed or newly ended. I know in MS, though illegal, there were still places that got away with not serving blacks. They did this by claiming they were a "private club" and you had to be a member. Yes, he did take many songs, but he exposed main stream white teenagers to those songs that otherwise would not have accepted it. This ultimately paved the way for those black artists to also become popular to main stream white teens.
