My Great Uncle served with Elvis. We still have the photos that were taken with him and Elvis as a few family members came before my Uncle was sent overseas. They said you would never know he was a star and was a very humble, kind, and compassionate man.
I was at my parents home when Elvis died. Mom and I were watching the news when it was announced. We turned to each other, and we both broke into tears. My Dad thought we were being silly. I think we both knew that it was end of an era. Still today, I think of him as having the best singing voice ever. He just can't be beat. No one has ever been as talented as he was. Elvis is still the King.
Even to this day he has songs that reach number one on the billboard lists. He could sing anything, Rock, country, gospel and so much more. I am sad that i was born 1990. Most of the artists and bands and music i love comes from the 40´s-80´s.
@@dmitrijsmironovs7513 Elvis is and remains without question, the BEST performer/entertainer, EVER! I do have to ask though, why you are even here??? You know these pages are full of TRUE Elvis fans who truly loved him and feel as I do--that he is THE BEST! Do you get some kind of pleasure coming here to make your opinion known?? WHY?????
I was 16. Came home from my girlfriends house and my mom was crying watching the news. She seen him 2 times in the 50s. I watch and listen to the king everyday. Taking my mom to Graceland in April god willing. She's 80.
I been telling my mom about things I been saying on here. She seen him 3 times 2 in Wichita falls and forth worth TX. I'll be tail gateing at the theater the night before the new Elvis movie. Stay well my friend
Scott wells. My brother had a liver transplant and he's doing good. So me and mom will be going later this year. Thank you for asking. I tailgate at the theater the night before the new Elvis movie. Take it easy my friend
I was 17 when he died And was coming back to Memphis, my home, from Florida. The traffic jam coming into Memphis from the south stretched for miles. People didn’t really know why, but they felt the urge to travel to Graceland.
I'm still shocked that he's been gone for 45 years and we're still talking about him as we should be he wasn't just some icon to anyone I can proudly say he was and still will always be a legend my mom introduced me to Elvis Presley when I was in middle school the very first movie I saw of his was Viva Las Vegas and I'm now 22 years old and I still love him I still love watching his movies and I still love talking about him and I still can't stop watching the Elvis Presley movie that came out this year that's how I still keep him alive by still watching his movies and still listening to his songs may he Rest In Peace Elvis Aaron Presley January 8,1935 - August 16, 1977 ❤️👑🎸🙏
I was 7 and in Adelaide, South Australia. I was sitting at a child’s table with my little brother having breakfast when I heard it on the radio. I yelled out to my Mama. We all hugged and cried. Illl never forget that day.
I've visited The King in Graceland it really feels like a snap in time. Was kind of cool to be able to see how he lived. Just because I was born in the 80s doesn't mean I can't appreciate great music.
Elvis is the kind of guy who you never actually have to listen to his music to be a Fan, I never bought a record or a single of his Yet I'm a huge Elvis Fan, he's Americas Pride. Viva Las Vegas!!!
Elvis was a larger-than-life, unforgettable man. Like all humans, not perfect, but he was talented, revolutionary, charismatic, good-looking, humble, kind, generous..... however, I am a fan of Elvis the musician first, he had an amazing, unique voice and vocal versatility and his music includes many brilliant RnR, Blues, Gospel, and Country songs, he will always be remembered for both, he was one-of-a-kind!👑
My mom is a huge fan of Elvis so growing up in the 70’s I heard all his records and watched all his movies. I gotta say listening and watching the king of Rock n Roll was a great time of my life. Although he is gone, his legacy will forever live
I lived in Memphis about 30/years, saw him in concert twice and around Memphis a few times. You could feel his vibe when he was home at Graceland or saw his jet at Hi Air. Incredible artist.
I was 18 yrs old and was working at Kmart. Two women came through my check-out line. They were in tears and were buying every Elvis record we had in stock. That's how I learned Elvis had died.
@@QueenCreole77 Wow - so you, like, literally missed the very next concert that he would've performed...less than two days away! Incredible. Wow - on the positive side, if you still have that ticket, in decent condition, it's gotta be worth at least several hundred dollars! Probably increase in value even more in the coming years. 🙂
My dad was getting an oil changed on his car in Indianapolis one day Elvis showed up and bought him a car (as well as a couple other people there). $20m doesn’t sound like a lot of money but regular cars only cost $1-2k & luxury cars were $4-5k. Despite what anyone says about him he was a genuinely nice man and only ever tried to help people and share his wealth. I dunno why but I’ve always felt enormous sympathy & sadness for him despite his insane life of luxury & frankly outrageous privilege.
What I remember most about the day he died in Memphis TN (my hometown) is that we had the most beautiful sunset that I've ever seen in my city. I was headed toward the river to get some pix, but my car developed a problem and I had to get to a repair shop.
I remember hanging around my mother as she ironed clothes for the coming workweek. I was 5 and didn't realize the impact, nor how big of a fan I would later become. The king is dead, long live the king, Baby!
My mother told me my gran broke down in tears and screamed the king is dead waking up all her children. She loved him so much. Reading all these comments you can see how much it effected so many people who adored him and enjoyed his music. It’s so nice to see that he is still loved to this day and even got a new movie coming out
I was a flight attendant at the time and about a fortnight later I was at the aircraft doorway doing the meet n greet and Elvis stepped onto the plane, well someone who was a dead ringer for him anyway! I still remember that sudden feeling of being punched in the chest; my breath hitched and bless him, he leaned forward, put his hand lightly on my forearm and said it’s ok honey I’m not Elvis, I’m heading out to do a show. He had a band with him and once everyone else had calmed down we had a lovely flight.
I’m 17 years old. I’ve been an Elvis fan since I was very little. I’ve learned so much about him and I’m so in love with his music and just his voice. It’s just heartbreaking for me. I wish I had the chance to see him live. I’ll meet him one day. He will always live on. such a hero❤️
My mom was a huge fan. Had a chance to see him live in 1977 but was very pregnant with me. I was a few months old when she heard he died on the radio, she said she pulled over the car and started sobbing. When she got home my father had to carry her in the house. He heard it on the radio as well and was worried that she wasn’t home yet.
I remember the TV was on, and the regularly scheduled programming was stopped for a news break. That's when we learned that Elvis was dead. "Elvis has left the building" they said for the last time.
Elvis is easily the greatest looking singer of our time. I'll do respect everybody on the planet with Elvis and his prom had no equal no matter who and what you were. Even old blue eyes can be with Elvis in his prime.
I was outside working on my 70 Mustang Mach 1 and listening to WDEE, Detroit's AM country station which broadcast the news of Elvis' passing. I couldn't believe it. After all these years I still feel the sadness and depression, it never really goes away.
Oh I’ll never forget that day the whole world was in a shock of disbelief crying for days and weeks trying to buy everything that they could buy from Elvis. He is still missed Rest In Peace dear one.
Elvis will live on in hearts of all of us! I was born in 60, but grew up listening to his music, my mom idolized Elvis and she seen him in Miami in 1969. She had recorded it on the 8mm camera! Mom has since passed in 2005. I don't know what happened to that old tape, I believe it somehow got destroyed by my stepfather, terrible!!!😥😥 Rest in Eternal Peace, and I know you're up in Heaven still making your beautiful music 🎶 ❤💯🙏🙏
I was working in Scotland at the time, we were playing pool in the local pub, the tv was just above the table, and it came on the 10 o clock news, the whole pub went silent, let's say it was a princess Diana kinda moment
I was in the backseat of my best friend’s car when suddenly the announcer on the radio cut the song to announce that Elvis Presley had died. My girlfriend’s Mom was driving and she had to pull over. We sat on the shoulder of the road while my best pal’s Mom sobbed and sobbed. She was a lifelong Elvis fan and the news of his death hit her very hard. My own Mom was in radio at a very prominent station in the 60’s, 70’s & early 80’s. She was lucky enough to have met Elvis. After she met him, she said he was by far THE most handsome man she’d ever met. I will never forget the day that Elvis died. He was cool before being cool was ever a thing. Lord, please take good care of our King. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Im very emotional right now reading all these comments.... I was 9 yrs old & my mother pulled up her rocking chair... Right up to the tv & cried & rocked as the news was breaking. I will never forget it... I Am A Huge Elvis Presley Fan... How He Is Loved & Missed. God First.. Then Elvis, lol
the day Elvis died: i remember that day very well. it was cloudy in Philly. I was 11yrs old. my family was big fans of Elvis. my father played his music often.
R.I.P belive it or not but I’m 13 years old and love Elvis Presley instead of rap or pop my grandad went to one of his concerts and met him personally because he got a winning seat ticket every time I hear his voice I wish I could see him sing
@@englishlanguagedevelopment8816 thank you for your kind words. A lot of people think that Harper is only a man's name when it's also a woman's name, too. I hope that you will have a nice evening and God bless you. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
We have to give All the Praise to Pricilla Presley she is the one that Kept Elvis Presleys Legacy Alive…She was his One True LOVE ;] We LOVE ELVIS PRESLEY & Family GOD BLESS You ❤️💕
I still remember the spot in our old house where I was standing (next to the dining table). My grandmother was sitting at the end of the table, and the TV on my right. Our housekeeper next to the TV was changing channels and stopped when the news flash came that Elvis was dead. I use to watch his old movies on TV during those days so it made a little impact on me, he was the nice man on TV dancing and singing.
It's sad that Elvis didn't live long enough to hear and see 1980s Music, Like Imagine if he lived for an extra 15 Years all the Amazing Music he could have made, Its a shame that we will never get to hear them.
He was so so handsome! I wish his life would have been happier! I think he just never wanted to be alone, i think he got so heavy because his songs had slowed down, he just was not so physical.
@@Adrasdea true ....the way he looks and some of his characteristics are loosely based on the animator but his NAME came from Elvis' personal doctor, George Constantine Nichopolous who is the one that prescribed him all those opioid and other various narcotics that Elvis became addicted to. Thank u for the minor correction....I should have clarified that I meant his name and not him entirely. My apologies for doing so and again, I appreciate the correction. Take care
People can say a lot of things about the new Elvis movie but i think it's great that a new generation of people (myself included) can enjoy his music the way he intented for it to be enjoyed
Everyone please live a healthy life, physically, mentally and spiritually. Don't be extravagant. Take care of yourselves. You wont enjoy anything if you are sick.
I was almost 14 when Elvis died. That day my friend and I had taken the train into Boston, and late in the day we were at the Strawberries Records in Kenmore Square. The phone rang in the store and the guy working there answered it, laughed and hung up. Then he called out to the other worker that a woman had just called and said that Elvis was dead. They didn't believe it and joked about it, saying that they should raise the prices on all the Elvis records. I didn't find out what had really happened until I saw the news later that night...
I know exactly what i was doing when he died. It was august 16 1977 and it was my 7th birthday! Yeah! I remember adults saying the king was dead but i had no idea who the king was but my party in the backyard went downhill after the news broke. It was a sad day for Elvis and a bummer for a 7 year old named Matthew. I love you Matthew be happy you will have a long life. Here i am at 51 yrs old so not too bad.
They don't mention how much he spent on random strangers. If not for his extreme generosity, he would have had hundreds of millions, when he left this world.♡
I still remember the day he died. My Mom picked me up from tennis practice that afternoon and told me about it. We had just seen his last TV concert a few weeks before.
I was first attracted by his looks! At the wee age of about 5. I heard "Can't Help Falling in Love" at that age although it had been out for a few years. But my dad had a record album with his picture on it and I remember saying "He is so handsome, daddy!" I was in LOVE and then when I heard the song...MAN! Even at that age, he got to me and I've been a huge fan ever since! That smile, those cheek bones! Those eyes and yes, those hips!!!
I had the same experience. I was seven when they announced he'd gotten married. I read that he was planning to marry Ginger on Christmas Eve. My younger brother said "you are going to cry when you find out what Elvis did. I was ready to hear that he had gotten married when my brother told me he passed away. I would've rather heard he got married.
My sister was working as a redcoat at a Butlin's holiday camp in Ayr at the time and got in bother with bosses for playing Elvis songs all day over the Tannoy system. I was a teenager at the time and remember seeing it on the news.
I was 18 when elvis passed.i can remember it on the afternoon news.why is it that the decent people go early.and the bad ones live a lot longer.life seems so unfair.it still users me now.and I'm in my 60s.god bless you elvis.
I was 8 years old when Elvis died, she cried all day and was glued to the TV for more information this was before CNN and 24/7 news cycles like we have today you had to wait for the next news broadcast 😕
I was 15 years old when Elvis died that fateful day it was a Tuesday afternoon on August the 16 th , I was in shock to know that he passed away from a heart attack!! Then from then on I was a fan we were in Germany at the time I never heard them play his music over there I had a radio , but never heard him sing until I went to a friend's house who had alot of his records I would listen to them for 3 hrs, then had to get home I had school the next day, then I knew what a great artist he was ,and wanted to know all about him his family and his family tree !! They were good people his parents and their son , who took him to church every Sunday, I will always miss him he had a short life !! But one thing he did was he lived it with all his movies and over 600 songs he recorded ,he's gone but his legacy will live on forever in the hearts of millions!! RIP 🙏 Elvis !!
Mrs H 🇬🇧 .. I was 10 yrs old when EP left the building/Earth... My mother was crying ( Even though she said she had a runny nose cos of having a cold ) I knew she was crying ..During that day I learnt ( As everyone was shocked 🇬🇧 ) that EP the imagine, The legend was no longer.💔.. They'll NEVER be another ..He was a humble, Caring man who loved the Lord..He loved singing the money helped that he made but he gave a lot away... How great was he.....❤🎶🎙🇬🇧
Falling asleep on the crapper is never a good idea. On a serious note, I remember my dad exclaiming, “Oh my god , Elvis is dead!” as he listened to his transistor on the porch.I was ten and didn’t have a clue who or what Elvis was. My dad made sure I got to know. Needless to say , I became a fan and have been to Graceland twice with my family. On my second visit, I noticed they’ve over commercialised it. Seems to be all about making as much money as possible now , with a lot of stuff that’s got nothing to do with Elvis.
I don’t remember him actually dying but I remember watching tv and seeing all the thousands of people at Graceland lining the streets. I asked my dad who he was and he said very quietly ‘that was Elvis… and there’ll never be another…”
I had just turned 5 a month and a half earlier. Getting ready to start kindergarten. Too young at the time to know who he was but remember the sadness that was around , all the adults talking about his death, the radio and tv news reports. I still remember that.
former longtime live in GF's mom, was a big fan all her life.. vain woman, had several plastic surgeries. however she had a scar on her chin. received upon hearing of elvis' death fainting busting her chin open. she lived the rest of her life never fixing it
My grandmother, two aunts, and very young cousins were in Memphis when Elvis died. Aunt heard that he had died, looked at the others, and said, "We've got to get out of here right now!" They'd been to Graceland before that day, and they cut the trip short by a couple of days. On the way out of Memphis, the road was clearly. The road going into Memphis was a virtual parking lot. Why people thought going to Memphis was a good idea, but there were and still are some die-hard fans.
Yes, there's millions and millions and millions of us all over the world. I wouldn't have left for anything. We went on the anniversary of his passing the next year. 1978. Stood in line for 6 hours with people from around the globe to walk past his grave. I had seen him in Vegas Dec. '76, as well as many times in Vegas back to '69 and I was taking it hard being there by his grave. It was like losing a close relative.
I was 12 in 1977 and I never heard of Elvis until the day he passed (my parents was country and western) I came home from school turned tv on went to kitchen and heard Geraldo Rivera announcing the King of Rocks passing.Truth is I liked the heavy Elvis of stage concerts,he was cool as hell.Now almost 58 I still would like to visit Graceland someday when I win lottery jackpot RIP Elvis.
Elvis was the King of Rock n'Roll, Michael Jackson was the king of POP. Elvis had Graceland, Michael Jackson had Neverland. Michael Jackson Married Elvis's Daughter Lisa Marie. Michael Told lisa that he feared he would die the same way her father did. Both Elvis and MJ died in similarly strange circumstances.
I remember the day like it was yesterday . The news scrolled it across the bottom . My cousin screamed and said Elvis died ! Immediately followed by her telling me she wanted her Elvis records back ! She gave them to be literally the day before he died .
That was a terrible day, remember it like it was yesterday. All the radio stations switched to his music. He had a hit song on the charts at the time,!
I wonder if anyone noticed the strong resemblance between Elvis' girlfriend Ginger, and his ex-wife Priscilla. Medical note" By the way, everybody dies of heart failure. I'm not a doctor but I know that when your heart fails to beat for any reason, you die. 😊
I was at a church camp about 15 years old when I found out he died. I worried about my Mom who was a huge fan. I grew up with Elvis she had every record he made. I remember being tiny trying to hula dance to his Blue Hawaii album
My brother and I were getting dressed for school when it came on the newsflash on our little black & white portable TV we had in our bedroom, never forget that mourning, my brother was 13, myself 11. Sydney so it was a Monday morning.
Well , wrong about the Shroud of Turin , it was later found that the part of the shroud that was carbon tested was repair work done back in the 13th century from a fire the shroud was in. When scientists later tested material that was not in the fire it tested to the time of Jesus . I’ve studied this subject quite thoroughly.
People make fun of how he died but the fact is he was so constipated he was trying to go to the loo , but he couldn't, his manager and the Dr pumped him with so many drugs his heart couldn't take anymore ! Its so sad 😞
I totally remember the day he died. I could not believe it. When the biopic came out, and my kids (adults) watched it, they all called me and said….ma I see why you used to watch his movies. I said yes, a great entertainer.
My Great Uncle served with Elvis. We still have the photos that were taken with him and Elvis as a few family members came before my Uncle was sent overseas. They said you would never know he was a star and was a very humble, kind, and compassionate man.

Oh I’ll never forget that day the whole world was in a shock of disbelief crying for days and weeks trying to buy everything that they could buy from Elvis. He is still missed Rest In Peace dear one.
Elvis will live on in hearts of all of us! I was born in 60, but grew up listening to his music, my mom idolized Elvis and she seen him in Miami in 1969. She had recorded it on the 8mm camera! Mom has since passed in 2005. I don't know what happened to that old tape, I believe it somehow got destroyed by my stepfather, terrible!!!😥😥 Rest in Eternal Peace, and I know you're up in Heaven still making your beautiful music 🎶 ❤💯🙏🙏
I was born in the 1960s and seen him on tv in concert.
He gave alot to his fans and family, and his employees. He was a very giving and loveable person that's why we love him so much.
No matter how long ago it was when he passed it will always feel like just yesterday hearing about the terrible news
I was working in Scotland at the time, we were playing pool in the local pub, the tv was just above the table, and it came on the 10 o clock news, the whole pub went silent, let's say it was a princess Diana kinda moment
Felt like i was there with you

Rest in peace Elvis Presley.🙏🕺
The greatest entertainer and performer that ever lived. Nobody cooler than Elvis.
Back in 2006 and 2007 I came all the way from Sweden during Elvis Week to pay my love and respect for Elvis. He's missed.
Wow, God Bless you
I was 17 and heartbroken. I am 62 and still heartbroken. I adore that man.
I was in the backseat of my best friend’s car when suddenly the announcer on the radio cut the song to announce that Elvis Presley had died. My girlfriend’s Mom was driving and she had to pull over. We sat on the shoulder of the road while my best pal’s Mom sobbed and sobbed. She was a lifelong Elvis fan and the news of his death hit her very hard. My own Mom was in radio at a very prominent station in the 60’s, 70’s & early 80’s. She was lucky enough to have met Elvis. After she met him, she said he was by far THE most handsome man she’d ever met. I will never forget the day that Elvis died. He was cool before being cool was ever a thing. Lord, please take good care of our King. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
An autopsy should be private. The world doesn't need to know what was ingested by the King. Such a handsome and very talented singer. RIP ELVIS
Im very emotional right now reading all these comments....
I was 9 yrs old & my mother pulled up her rocking chair... Right up to the tv & cried & rocked as the news was breaking.
I will never forget it...
I Am A Huge Elvis Presley Fan... How He Is Loved & Missed.
God First.. Then Elvis, lol

I WAS WORKING AT A FACILITY FOR PATIENTS I COULD NOT BELIEVE ELVIS HAD PASSED AWAY BUT HE WILL LIVE IN MY HEART FOREVER ❤️❤️❤️
It's insane how popular he still is to this very day ....I can't imagine what it was like at the peak
the day Elvis died:
i remember that day very well.
it was cloudy in Philly.
I was 11yrs old.
my family was big fans of Elvis.
my father played his music often.
The King of Entertainment Forever! Long Live The King!
R.I.P belive it or not but I’m 13 years old and love Elvis Presley instead of rap or pop my grandad went to one of his concerts and met him personally because he got a winning seat ticket every time I hear his voice I wish I could see him sing
we love you elvis i am a 71 year old man not into hero's but you did make me fell something what a great time it was
Sadly today....his daughter Lisa Marie Presley died. RIP Elvis and Lisa.
Lisa Marie Presley allegedly watched Elvis die the same way in she did. Oof that really ruined Lisa Marie all through her life.
Rip Elvis
What a legend.
Nobody will ever top Elvis Presley. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
He truly was a legend!
@@harperstacey9604 So cool that Elvis has a granddaughter named Harper. You have a beautiful name also shared with my favorite author, Harper Lee.
@@englishlanguagedevelopment8816 thank you for your kind words. A lot of people think that Harper is only a man's name when it's also a woman's name, too. I hope that you will have a nice evening and God bless you. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
@@harperstacey9604 Thank you, I hope you have a blessed evening as well.
My late son's favorite song of Elvis was 'Crying in the Chapel'. I played this song at his funeral.
He also had little money when he died because of that greedy manager of his who took 50% of his earnings for a wage…
Lets not be bitter
Who’s bitter? Did I say anything about being bitter…facts are just simply what they are….facts!!
and Priscilla was getting loads of cash
It was actually as high as 75% at the end and he had deals behind elvis's back where he took 100% of the profits.
Colonel Tom Parker took advantage of Elvis Presley. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
We have to give All the Praise to Pricilla Presley she is the one that Kept Elvis Presleys Legacy Alive…She was his One True LOVE ;] We LOVE ELVIS PRESLEY & Family GOD BLESS You ❤️💕
I still remember the spot in our old house where I was standing (next to the dining table). My grandmother was sitting at the end of the table, and the TV on my right. Our housekeeper next to the TV was changing channels and stopped when the news flash came that Elvis was dead.
I use to watch his old movies on TV during those days so it made a little impact on me, he was the nice man on TV dancing and singing.
It's sad that Elvis didn't live long enough to hear and see 1980s Music, Like Imagine if he lived for an extra 15 Years all the Amazing Music he could have made, Its a shame that we will never get to hear them.
Yeah, Elvis Synth wave music
And the 90's😩
He was so so handsome! I wish his life would have been happier! I think he just never wanted to be alone, i think he got so heavy because his songs had slowed down, he just was not so physical.
If Elvis was going to die I’m glad he was at least at his home that he loved.
The King is dead, the King lives forever...
Anyone else know that "Dr.Nick" from "The Simpson's" is modeled after Elvis's own Dr. Nick?
Nah lol
He's a take of Gabor
@@Adrasdea true ....the way he looks and some of his characteristics are loosely based on the animator but his NAME came from Elvis' personal doctor, George Constantine Nichopolous who is the one that prescribed him all those opioid and other various narcotics that Elvis became addicted to. Thank u for the minor correction....I should have clarified that I meant his name and not him entirely. My apologies for doing so and again, I appreciate the correction. Take care
He Died on my birthday when I was 14 years old 16-08-1977!! WOW!!
Singer David bowie also shared his birthday with you and Elvis Presley. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
People can say a lot of things about the new Elvis movie but i think it's great that a new generation of people (myself included) can enjoy his music the way he intented for it to be enjoyed
hey did shit! it is not his music!
Well said
Elvis' face was incredibly symmetrical, unusually beautiful.
The fact his net worth was so low when he passed is so sad, but Elvis sure knew how to live life to the fullest
He gave alot away. I don't know how much Col Parker got of it. But he known to be generous.
5 million dollars is more than a person needs tho
in 1970 20mil is like 100mil to days money
@Mary Jane Parker was a thief and took advantage of Elvis during his entire career. He should have been fired...
@Mary Jane Yes he did for sure
Everyone please live a healthy life, physically, mentally and spiritually. Don't be extravagant. Take care of yourselves. You wont enjoy anything if you are sick.
I was almost 14 when Elvis died. That day my friend and I had taken the train into Boston, and late in the day we were at the Strawberries Records in Kenmore Square. The phone rang in the store and the guy working there answered it, laughed and hung up. Then he called out to the other worker that a woman had just called and said that Elvis was dead. They didn't believe it and joked about it, saying that they should raise the prices on all the Elvis records. I didn't find out what had really happened until I saw the news later that night...
I know exactly what i was doing when he died. It was august 16 1977 and it was my 7th birthday! Yeah! I remember adults saying the king was dead but i had no idea who the king was but my party in the backyard went downhill after the news broke. It was a sad day for Elvis and a bummer for a 7 year old named Matthew. I love you Matthew be happy you will have a long life. Here i am at 51 yrs old so not too bad.
They don't mention how much he spent on random strangers. If not for his extreme generosity, he would have had hundreds of millions, when he left this world.♡
Anyone here after watching the movie Elvis 2022? Bless you all☀🌟
Me.
I know Elvis is with with Jesus....l know he truly loved the Lord Jesus Christ 🙏.
I still remember the day he died. My Mom picked me up from tennis practice that afternoon and told me about it. We had just seen his last TV concert a few weeks before.
I was first attracted by his looks! At the wee age of about 5. I heard "Can't Help Falling in Love" at that age although it had been out for a few years. But my dad had a record album with his picture on it and I remember saying "He is so handsome, daddy!" I was in LOVE and then when I heard the song...MAN! Even at that age, he got to me and I've been a huge fan ever since! That smile, those cheek bones! Those eyes and yes, those hips!!!
I had the same experience. I was seven when they announced he'd gotten married. I read that he was planning to marry Ginger on Christmas Eve. My younger brother said "you are going to cry when you find out what Elvis did. I was ready to hear that he had gotten married when my brother told me he passed away. I would've rather heard he got married.
My sister was working as a redcoat at a Butlin's holiday camp in Ayr at the time and got in bother with bosses for playing Elvis songs all day over the Tannoy system. I was a teenager at the time and remember seeing it on the news.
Elvis was actually distantly related to Jimmy Carter and Abraham Lincoln
You go back far enough we're all related !
@@toddhaak9401 true
I was 18 when elvis passed.i can remember it on the afternoon news.why is it that the decent people go early.and the bad ones live a lot longer.life seems so unfair.it still users me now.and I'm in my 60s.god bless you elvis.
I was 8 years old when Elvis died, she cried all day and was glued to the TV for more information this was before CNN and 24/7 news cycles like we have today you had to wait for the next news broadcast 😕
I was driving home from work when I heard on the radio he died. I cried and pulled over and threw up. I still cry when I think about it.
I remember it like it was yesterday it was like the earth stopped turning and the music died and its never been the same since that day
I don't know why i always cry if i see his last day to live.. I love you my EP.. I call him my EP.. Elvis Presley❤❤
I was 15 years old when Elvis died that fateful day it was a Tuesday afternoon on August the 16 th , I was in shock to know that he passed away from a heart attack!! Then from then on I was a fan we were in Germany at the time I never heard them play his music over there I had a radio , but never heard him sing until I went to a friend's house who had alot of his records I would listen to them for 3 hrs, then had to get home I had school the next day, then I knew what a great artist he was ,and wanted to know all about him his family and his family tree !! They were good people his parents and their son , who took him to church every Sunday, I will always miss him he had a short life !! But one thing he did was he lived it with all his movies and over 600 songs he recorded ,he's gone but his legacy will live on forever in the hearts of millions!! RIP 🙏 Elvis !!
Mrs H 🇬🇧 .. I was 10 yrs old when EP left the building/Earth... My mother was crying ( Even though she said she had a runny nose cos of having a cold ) I knew she was crying ..During that day I learnt ( As everyone was shocked 🇬🇧 ) that EP the imagine, The legend was no longer.💔.. They'll NEVER be another ..He was a humble, Caring man who loved the Lord..He loved singing the money helped that he made but he gave a lot away... How great was he.....❤🎶🎙🇬🇧
I remember it well. I was 8 and it was all over the news world wide. People were shocked because he was only 42.
Yeah but what killed him was drugs and food he never ate fish, fruit and vegetables
hete True. At the time we had no idea about the drugs and unhealthy life style. I just remember our parents being shocked, he was such a huge star.
@@icebergrose8955 yeah sadly the fame made him unstable
If someone tells you not to fall asleep in the bathroom you’ve got a problem.
Falling asleep on the crapper is never a good idea. On a serious note, I remember my dad exclaiming, “Oh my god , Elvis is dead!” as he listened to his transistor on the porch.I was ten and didn’t have a clue who or what Elvis was. My dad made sure I got to know. Needless to say , I became a fan and have been to Graceland twice with my family. On my second visit, I noticed they’ve over commercialised it. Seems to be all about making as much money as possible now , with a lot of stuff that’s got nothing to do with Elvis.
@@kennygee5958 That figures, doesn't it...all about 💲💲
That's true
One of the most kindest human beings. God Bless 🙏
President Carter never said elvis was stoned.Elvis Presley served are country !
I don’t remember him actually dying but I remember watching tv and seeing all the thousands of people at Graceland lining the streets. I asked my dad who he was and he said very quietly ‘that was Elvis… and there’ll never be another…”
I had just turned 5 a month and a half earlier. Getting ready to start kindergarten. Too young at the time to know who he was but remember the sadness that was around , all the adults talking about his death, the radio and tv news reports. I still remember that.
former longtime live in GF's mom, was a big fan all her life.. vain woman, had several plastic surgeries. however she had a scar on her chin. received upon hearing of elvis' death fainting busting her chin open. she lived the rest of her life never fixing it
ELVIS WILL NEVER
BE forgotten
My grandmother, two aunts, and very young cousins were in Memphis when Elvis died. Aunt heard that he had died, looked at the others, and said, "We've got to get out of here right now!" They'd been to Graceland before that day, and they cut the trip short by a couple of days. On the way out of Memphis, the road was clearly. The road going into Memphis was a virtual parking lot. Why people thought going to Memphis was a good idea, but there were and still are some die-hard fans.
Thanks for sharing
Yes, there's millions and millions and millions of us all over the world. I wouldn't have left for anything. We went on the anniversary of his passing the next year. 1978. Stood in line for 6 hours with people from around the globe to walk past his grave. I had seen him in Vegas Dec. '76, as well as many times in Vegas back to '69 and I was taking it hard being there by his grave. It was like losing a close relative.
And he was the greatest singer of all time . Even after Frank , and the Beatles . So be it !
I was 12 in 1977 and I never heard of Elvis until the day he passed (my parents was country and western) I came home from school turned tv on went to kitchen and heard Geraldo Rivera announcing the King of Rocks passing.Truth is I liked the heavy Elvis of stage concerts,he was cool as hell.Now almost 58 I still would like to visit Graceland someday when I win lottery jackpot RIP Elvis.
Elvis was the King of Rock n'Roll, Michael Jackson was the king of POP.
Elvis had Graceland, Michael Jackson had Neverland.
Michael Jackson Married Elvis's Daughter Lisa Marie.
Michael Told lisa that he feared he would die the same way her father did.
Both Elvis and MJ died in similarly strange circumstances.
I remember the day like it was yesterday . The news scrolled it across the bottom . My cousin screamed and said Elvis died ! Immediately followed by her telling me she wanted her Elvis records back ! She gave them to be literally the day before he died .
There wasn't 'scrolling news' when Elvis died - too long ago... if ur gonna make stuff up 🙄
@@julesevs well we had it . So fluff you .
That was a terrible day, remember it like it was yesterday. All the radio stations switched to his music. He had a hit song on the charts at the time,!
It was also all over the TV channels. You couldn't escape it. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
I wonder if anyone noticed the strong resemblance between Elvis' girlfriend Ginger, and his ex-wife Priscilla. Medical note" By the way, everybody dies of heart failure. I'm not a doctor but I know that when your heart fails to beat for any reason, you die. 😊
His daughter is his spitting image and married Michael Jackson, imagine if MJ and Lisa had children what a hybrid of a human!!
You are wise, lord geezer

I was at a church camp about 15 years old when I found out he died. I worried about my Mom who was a huge fan. I grew up with Elvis she had every record he made. I remember being tiny trying to hula dance to his Blue Hawaii album
45 years ago today. Remember it like yesterday.. Was visiting a friend in West Phoenix, when I first saw the teletype on the TV 📺
My brother and I were getting dressed for school when it came on the newsflash on our little black & white portable TV we had in our bedroom, never forget that mourning, my brother was 13, myself 11. Sydney so it was a Monday morning.
August 17, 1977 was actually a Wednesday.
@@stupendous1068 must of been a Thursday morning then, thanks for the correction, it makes sense.
Well , wrong about the Shroud of Turin , it was later found that the part of the shroud that was carbon tested was repair work done back in the 13th century from a fire the shroud was in.
When scientists later tested material that was not in the fire it tested to the time of Jesus . I’ve studied this subject quite thoroughly.
Resi In peace Elvis
I met him in California the other day..He is still living. I know sounds crazy. We live in a crazy world.
yeah right
the shroud where they test is where everyone else has touched and sweated
My mom was 12 when Elvis passed and she told me recently that she listened to his songs and her favorite was burning love
We all loved Elvis!
People make fun of how he died but the fact is he was so constipated he was trying to go to the loo , but he couldn't, his manager and the Dr pumped him with so many drugs his heart couldn't take anymore ! Its so sad 😞
I totally remember the day he died. I could not believe it. When the biopic came out, and my kids (adults) watched it, they all called me and said….ma I see why you used to watch his movies. I said yes, a great entertainer.
He was so sick,yet no one said,hey we gotta stop for a bit and get u help
No one
He took care of everyone,but everyone failed him
