The Beatles are the biggest selling recording artists of ALL TIME !!! That said, Elvis is the most iconic, influential, popular and beloved figure in rock history...the KING of rock and roll....and the greatest entertainer/performer of ALL TIME !!!
Unless you lived back then you can only imagine how much Elvis was loved. He was a really big humanitarian along with a natural charisma that could light up your life. His voice along with his good looks charmed three generations in our family. If anyone deserves this award it was Elvis.
The 80's era was preoccupied with itself and very much doing its best to leave behind all that came with the past. George Klein was trying his best to drive home the Elvis phenomenon to the hardly responsive yuppy audience. Nearly four decades later in 2022, Elvis the movie is one of the biggest box office hits of the year, with a message of who Elvis Presley really was. His legendary name cannot fade away.

Whoever decided that Elvis was not the first one inducted into the Hall of Fame in my opinion not the sharpest crayon in the box if you know what I mean. why would you have a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and not let Elvis be the first one in. He legitify the Hall of Fame. Everyone else can only follow Elvis, he was the first and has time has proven the greatest of all time.
Dear Mister Dean, The induction was done by alphabetical order. If you go to the Rock ' N' Roll Hall Fame they are not hesitant to state the truth that he was The King Of Rock 'N' Roll. The historical flaw without a doubt was that Bill Haley And The Comets weren't inducted the very first year. God Bless, Eric Galati
@@aristoboho6012 my apologies I did read read your comment I still do not necessarily agree with you however you were just explaining why it is the way it is. I guess I was just having a bad day do you remember the movie Forrest Gump him and Jenny made up at the Washington Mall and then his genuis and goodbye the guy that farted got into a fight with at the Black Panther party and he was trying to apologize to Jenny and he said it was just that son-of-a-b**** and G d Johnson lies and in the Vietnam War. It's a long and drawn-out way avni trying to say it's this Biden Administration and this jeedai recession. LOL LOL of course I'm playing. Sometimes we get on here and we forget we're actually talking to other humans and we go too far. However I'm not one of those LOL LOL LOL I truly apologize. I will take down my comment and now will remember this little lesson in the future. You said you was Godsmack oh, I'm sorry that happened to you it must have hurt but I can do nothing about you being Godsmack don't want him upset with me. LOL I'm trying to lighten the situation I truly truly I'm sorry forgive me after I'm sure you read this comment I will delete my comments. I'm on my way to work so I am talking into my phone and not actually typing so is some of the words come out wrong it's not my grammar it's just my southern English.

If you want proof that fame and fortune didn't change Elvis, he met George in high school when they were about 15 years old. When Elvis was just another kid at just another high school. When Elvis died George was one of Elvis' best friends, if not his absolute best friend. George was there before anyone knew Elvis, and he was still there when the world cried that we'd lost Elvis. Tells you everything you need to know about the man, the person, and the human being Elvis was.

Godspeed, George. Thank you for being a good and faithful friend to Elvis. George Klein (October 8, 1935 - February 5, 2019), born in Memphis, Tennessee, was an American disc jockey, and television host. He met Elvis Presley in the eighth grade at Humes High School in North Memphis, and they remained friends until Presley's death in 1977.
George Klein also had a nose job after Elvis asked him too first . So that once Elvis saw his done he would too! That is a great friendship right there!

I've never seen this before. Very touching. Just reading GK's book now. It's very obvious how much he loved his friend Elvis. He writes that it's a "Thank you" to Elvis because the best moments of his life wouldn't have been possible unless he had been part of Elvis' life. I think he's absolutely sincere.
Why is it that the music award industry never acknowledges Elvis? I never could understand that? Elvis is the KING of all music genre. The music awards should acknowledge his anniversary every now and then. Also,I've never heard a pop singer or any singer ever sing Elvis songs. Why?? Jealousy? In The Ghetto, If I Could Dream,You Gave Me A Mountan Mountain,Polk Salad omg his vocals ,his looks, everything about him was no one to compare him to. Elvis was a blessing and a curse. He stood alone then,he stands alone today. No one has been able to touch him.

Les J. Suli that’s not true, the dead are not remembered, when’s the last time you thought about Kobe Bryant John Lennon John Wayne John F. Kennedy and the list goes on? There’s a book called revelation and in it it says there was no more music. What if God is right and man is wrong oh oh, everyone’s in trouble.
I’m still disappointed I never met George Klein.. I tried to ask the Graceland staff to let me in but they refused. Then George died a few years later. I’ve met almost everyone except him.
Elvis was amazing he had everything and was such a talent while he remained humble He also loved his songs TY for posting! I wish Elvis would have been alive to accept the honor's he deserved RIP Elvis!

It would have been much better if Elvis wife and daughter accepted this award. They should have been there for Elvis because he was there for them and because of Elvis, they live the lifestyle they live now. Lisa his daughter was already 18 years old that induction night. As you can see Sean Lennon, John Lennon's song was there that night....... and Sean was only a kid, and still went.

Elvis was a great singer beautiful voice But he was not a good musician As he said himself he only knew a few chords. He never did a solo or intro with a guitar and if you see him playing piano it is funny. But he had beautiful face.... The king of rock n roll piano is chuck berry The kings of rock n roll piano are jerry lee lewis and little richard. And there are two inclassable and fantastic men fats domino and ray charles. People who like playing or singing or dancing rock n roll know that it is more difficult to play to dance or sing on a jerry lee or little richard s song than on an elvis one. It is an evidence.
@@jean-christophedibatista1893 Elvis only knew 6 guitar chords and he couldn't read music. He had the voice and a great interpretation of what a song should sound like.
You are so right, God had a chat with Elvis , and they made deals and agreements. Elvis was here to share and spread the love our Creator has for us. No one pays attention to the little people, it takes someone mighty important for people to take notice and care. May be the trade off was ,Prescription drugs are a problem son. take it to the forefront while you are there.

I met George quite some years ago at an elvis promotion he invited me to at the hard rock cafe here in the big apple. The jordaires were there, Gordon Stoker is such a nice guy. Met Carl Perkins there too. I do think George was pushing some of the stuff a bit too strongly, like elvis record sales. Yes 1 billion records easy and, I already expalined why but, I understand his passion for his great friend elvis and, all. But, I see what some people might mean. I get pretty emotional about the people I idolize and, admire too. Only an egomaniac doesn't really have any heros or, claim they never learned from anybody. 'WE DIDN'T START THE FIRE'.
George was a helluva nice guy. I talked with him at a couple of Memphis bars back in the nineties and would speak to him at the grocery store toward his latter years. I always wanted to ask him Elvis questions, but just never did.
Nobody to this day has sold a billion records. If you have any brains you will know. Its neither possible. And more importantly it cannot be PROVEN. I have worked in the auditing industry. All record labels hype things up. Nobody. Not ElVIS, NOT THE BEATLES NOT JACKSON has even sold 600 million records. I assure you. AMERICA is the biggest market. An artist will sell most of their records in just two countries. THE U.S AND THE UK. From there its downhill. 50% of a popular artists sales take place in those two countries. So heres the reality. Elvis barely sold 20 million in the UK. And 200 million in the U.S. If we are being generous. We double that total. And you are closer to the true number. So Elvis actual numbers are somewhere between 4 to 5 hundred million. Still a staggering amount..but a far cry from the lies about 1.5 billion. Thats always been a lie. The same holds true for the Beatles and Jackson. And dont quote any B.S about the guiness book of records. They are clusless. They just go with the generic belief floated by the record LABEL. But they cannot verify the number. Its like the like thar Elvis sold 20 millon records a week after he died. NO HE DIDNT. If that had been true he would have beem the best selling artist of 1977/78. He wasnt. Again its record label hype. Sure he sold alot more than he had been selling. Several million. But nowhere close to 20 million a week.
Elvis had sold 600 million by 65’ i saw a watch inscribed by RCA with that amount records sold, so giving that he died 12 years later and people still buy his records to this day it’s certainly plausible that he has sold at least 1 Billion records maybe more.
Seems to me Elvis being inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame was way overdue, especially considering him being the King of rock n roll. one thing so many people either don't know Elvis very well or forget and that is Elvis absolutely hated anyone calling him "King or The King" Elvis was very religious himself raised in Assembly of God church and loved gospel music. Everything Elvis was a person was due to his faith in Jesus Christ in which his mother Gladys raised Elvis in ⛪. It was that faith, hope, love and his singing talent that bolstered him into fame and dearly loved by fans from around the world. God Bless Elvis. Buddy you were loved in 55 and still loved in 2017.
Religion was only one of his illnesses that got worse over time. Elvis was a great person, regardless of all that garbage. If he never went to church a day in his life, he still would've been raised right.
Well if they do it to soon it loses some impact he had just died ten years earlier and like he said Elvis had sold one billion records and if they had rush it that would have not been included. Yes Elvis only won two Grammys and that was for gospel music and you just can't have that deep of a spirit without being born again. Very few understand that and then of course very few will enter the gates of heaven. Can you imagine.
No one ever claimed Elvis is king of Christians or king of the world! He is referred to as "KING OF ROCK N' ROLL"! So sick of everyone saying he said there was only one king - Jesus. It has been over said. Let him have his title of music not religion
Elvis sold more records, worldwide, than any music artist in history and that still stands today.
The Beatles are the biggest selling recording artists of ALL TIME !!! That said, Elvis is the most iconic, influential, popular and beloved figure in rock history...the KING of rock and roll....and the greatest entertainer/performer of ALL TIME !!!
@@ITILII Elvis has sold more records, worldwide, than any music artist in music history. 1+billion. Beatles are second.

That's the it was Elvis will never be forgotten
Les J. Suli that’s not true, the dead are not remembered, when’s the last time you thought about Kobe Bryant John Lennon John Wayne John F. Kennedy and the list goes on? There’s a book called revelation and in it it says there was no more music. What if God is right and man is wrong oh oh, everyone’s in trouble.
Elvis always stopped to Sign an Autograph or Pose for a Picture
Elvis Presley vår största sångare genom alla tider och vilken röst han var en stor människa alla människor är
There will never be a singer to be as great as the man
Elvis Presley still the best friend a song ever had period
That was awesome George, RIP brother 🙏
this is a moment Mr Klein can be very proud of.
George was a leach. Hanging on Elvis 's coattail,.
GK nailed this. RIP.
Goosebumps
I’m still disappointed I never met George Klein.. I tried to ask the Graceland staff to let me in but they refused. Then George died a few years later. I’ve met almost everyone except him.
THE G.O.A.T
THE KING FOREVER!!!!!
Elvis was amazing he had everything and was such a talent while he remained humble He also loved his songs TY for posting! I wish Elvis would have been alive to accept the honor's he deserved RIP Elvis!
Died: 5 February 2019, Memphis, Tennessee, United States RIP GEORGE

Prawdziwy przyjaciel za życia jak i po odejściu Elvisa szanował jego rodzinę nie pisał bzdur jak niektórzy 👍💟💟💟🎩🎩🎤🎤
IMISS YOU GEORGE...LOVE YOU!!!!!
The Hall shouldn't have opened its damn doors unless Elvis was the first one put on the shrine. How did he not get inducted until 1986?
Brad Darnell and who were the ppl who got elvis there? Oh yah.. the black r&b, soul and blues artists. They should have been first!
86 was the first year
Do research first. It's the first ceremony
@@no1nestandsalone387 In that case white country artists like Hank Williams also should have been there first
@@no1nestandsalone387 same with every other white rock and roll artist. Buddy Holly,the Beatles,Queen but no Elvis "stole" the black people's music. Get out of here black rock and roll artist are amazing like Chuck berry and Fats domino's but Elvis out did them all imo
Thank you george,you loved Elvis,always beautiful speech.Rip king.❤😇😥👍👌💞
George Klein died. T. C. B. forever, George.
George everything you said is so right about Elvis all so about Jerry Lee they are the best!!!💒💝
It's nice to watch this ~~~ Thank you for posting!
tcb always king!
Fabulous!!!
First time I saw this. Well done George!
It would have been much better if Elvis wife and daughter accepted this award. They should have been there for Elvis because he was there for them and because of Elvis, they live the lifestyle they live now. Lisa his daughter was already 18 years old that induction night. As you can see Sean Lennon, John Lennon's song was there that night....... and Sean was only a kid, and still went.
His daughter should of been there but as for his former wife she does nothing for Elvis unless money is inher palm first
She had left him to be with someone else. So not accepted
@@vedaram1036 You don't understand my point Veda. She left him. But, by then, Elvis had cheated on her multiple times when he was on tour while they were still married. Get your facts straight Veda because I'm a huge historian about the Presleys lives. If you don't believe me, here is the Google link with tons of stories of Elvis cheating.

Every person on this planet is a star, dont forget that. L and P
John Lennon said: "if not for Elvis, there never would've been the Beatles" very true. And w/o Elvis, there wouldn't be Julian either.
Opie Cunningham interesting that you said that because John Lennon’s son Julian is standing on the stage behind George Klein!
Elvis was a great singer beautiful voice
But he was not a good musician
As he said himself he only knew a few chords.
He never did a solo or intro with a guitar and if you see him playing piano it is funny.
But he had beautiful face....
The king of rock n roll piano is chuck berry
The kings of rock n roll piano are jerry lee lewis and little richard.
And there are two inclassable and fantastic men fats domino and ray charles.
People who like playing or singing or dancing rock n roll know that it is more difficult to play to dance or sing on a jerry lee or little richard s song than on an elvis one. It is an evidence.
I made a mistake
You had understood it is guitar for chuck berry of couse.
@@jean-christophedibatista1893 Elvis only knew 6 guitar chords and he couldn't read music. He had the voice and a great interpretation of what a song should sound like.
Ok Elvis was an amazing man and george spoke true words but lets give praise to god fo r creating such a talented great looking kind hearted man ELVIS
You are so right, God had a chat with Elvis , and they made deals and agreements.
Elvis was here to share and spread the love our Creator has for us.
No one pays attention to the little people, it takes someone mighty important for people to take notice and care.
May be the trade off was ,Prescription drugs are a problem son. take it to the forefront while you are there.
@@dabdella1460 haha nice analogy
OMG praise goes to Gladys & Vernon, they made Elvis!
I well always love you Elvis ❤
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face..
Elvis should have been induction long before this. He was, is and always will be the best.
اعظم فنان على مر العصور لم ولن يتكرر الملك بدون منازع
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👑
Glad to know he is still alive today!
Kisses and hugs 🤗
viva Elvis. fas parti da minha vida

Only ONE BILLION RECORDS
I met George quite some years ago at an elvis promotion he invited me to at the hard rock cafe here in the big apple. The jordaires were there, Gordon Stoker is such a nice guy. Met Carl Perkins there too. I do think George was pushing some of the stuff a bit too strongly, like elvis record sales. Yes 1 billion records easy and, I already expalined why but, I understand his passion for his great friend elvis and, all. But, I see what some people might mean. I get pretty emotional about the people I idolize and, admire too. Only an egomaniac doesn't really have any heros or, claim they never learned from anybody. 'WE DIDN'T START THE FIRE'.
George was a helluva nice guy. I talked with him at a couple of Memphis bars back in the nineties and would speak to him at the grocery store toward his latter years. I always wanted to ask him Elvis questions, but just never did.
That was 35 yrs ago!!
Nobody to this day has sold a billion records. If you have any brains you will know. Its neither possible. And more importantly it cannot be PROVEN. I have worked in the auditing industry. All record labels hype things up. Nobody. Not ElVIS, NOT THE BEATLES NOT JACKSON has even sold 600 million records. I assure you.
AMERICA is the biggest market. An artist will sell most of their records in just two countries. THE U.S AND THE UK. From there its downhill. 50% of a popular artists sales take place in those two countries.
So heres the reality. Elvis barely sold 20 million in the UK. And 200 million in the U.S. If we are being generous. We double that total. And you are closer to the true number. So Elvis actual numbers are somewhere between 4 to 5 hundred million. Still a staggering amount..but a far cry from the lies about 1.5 billion. Thats always been a lie. The same holds true for the Beatles and Jackson.
And dont quote any B.S about the guiness book of records. They are clusless. They just go with the generic belief floated by the record LABEL. But they cannot verify the number.
Its like the like thar Elvis sold 20 millon records a week after he died. NO HE DIDNT. If that had been true he would have beem the best selling artist of 1977/78. He wasnt. Again its record label hype.
Sure he sold alot more than he had been selling. Several million. But nowhere close to 20 million a week.
Elvis had sold 600 million by 65’ i saw a watch inscribed by RCA with that amount records sold, so giving that he died 12 years later and people still buy his records to this day it’s certainly plausible that he has sold at least 1 Billion records maybe more.
Seems to me Elvis being inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame was way overdue, especially considering him being the King of rock n roll. one thing so many people either don't know Elvis very well or forget and that is Elvis absolutely hated anyone calling him "King or The King" Elvis was very religious himself raised in Assembly of God church and loved gospel music. Everything Elvis was a person was due to his faith in Jesus Christ in which his mother Gladys raised Elvis in ⛪. It was that faith, hope, love and his singing talent that bolstered him into fame and dearly loved by fans from around the world. God Bless Elvis. Buddy you were loved in 55 and still loved in 2017.
Religion was only one of his illnesses that got worse over time. Elvis was a great person, regardless of all that garbage. If he never went to church a day in his life, he still would've been raised right.
Well if they do it to soon it loses some impact he had just died ten years earlier and like he said Elvis had sold one billion records and if they had rush it that would have not been included. Yes Elvis only won two Grammys and that was for gospel music and you just can't have that deep of a spirit without being born again. Very few understand that and then of course very few will enter the gates of heaven. Can you imagine.
CooManTunes How. Do. You. Know? You Don't!
Kenny that was the first induction class of the HOF That's the truth of how good my boy was n he will be remembered FOREVER
No one ever claimed Elvis is king of Christians or king of the world! He is referred to as "KING OF ROCK N' ROLL"! So sick of everyone saying he said there was only one king - Jesus. It has been over said. Let him have his title of music not religion
That's terrific
