      Half of the stuff he said in this interview is simply factually incorrect.
      Hanks is in full-on used car salesman mode here. He'll tell you anything to get you to spend money on this piece of crap.
      Priscilla Presley officially endorses this thing, so you know it's going to be crap and about as historically accurate as the Queen movie. Sanitised, pasteurised, homogenised low-fat cheese.

      I remember when Walter Matthau stated that Elvis could have been a great actor with proper training. He advised Elvis to study with Sandy Meiser, a famous acting teacher, but the Colonel and Uncle Sam had other plans. From my understanding, the Colonel did not like people advising Elvis out of fear that he would lose control of his golden goose.

      Dude, I must beg to differ with you my friend...no offense intended. In '69 and '70, he was putting out top 10 hits on the "pop" and country charts, even #1 on the charts. He was a "has been" only to the very youngest listeners, the hippies. Also... The number has grown into the rock 'n' roll equivalent of Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak: 837 consecutive sold-out shows performed by Elvis Presley at the International and Las Vegas Hilton from July 1969 through December 1976, when he last performed there. From late '56 to his last concert in '77, he never performed to an empty seat, anywhere. And his "Aloha From Hawaii" concert was watched live around the world by over 1.5 billion people, more than who watched the first man to walk on the moon! And this doesn't even count the U.S., which didn't broadcast it live because the networks wouldn't be able to put on commercials. How could a "has been" do that? He wasn't called The King for nothing.

Sorry i find it hard to believe your statement cause we all know that Elvis did 2 shows per day and sometimes even 3 cause there were thousands of people wanting to see his show and the international room that was the biggest one in the city back then didn't have enough capacity to receive such audience .Elvis was the highest paid entertainer in vegas more than sinatra, Streisand,dean martin, tom jones or liberace so why they kept paying him that much during the following six years till his death if his concerts were half empty?

    I thought it was Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, SammyDJ and that lot who turned Las Vegas into a megastar magnet. They certainly had an impact on the acceptance of black performers - refused to play to segregated audiences. Frank Sinatra was a particularly strong advocate for equal rights.
    Dean Martin was Elvis' favourite singer, and he christened him "King of Cool"; told his daughter that "they cal me The King, but your dad is "the King of Cool".

      A while back, Dean Martin's daughter Deana came out to Australia to perform in our clubs. When I saw her live she was so mega-talented in her own right, and brought a sense of real Hollywood glamour, style and elegance to every aspect of her show. She was fantastic, and had some great stories to tell about the celebrities she grew up with. A very entertaining evening!

    • @thereunionparty
      @thereunionparty Рік тому

      I don't think he asked Nixon to deport The Beatles but, according to Time magazine, he was highly critical of their "bad" influence : "Presley indicated that he thought the Beatles had been a real force for anti-American spirit. He said that the Beatles came to this country, made their money, and then returned to England where they promoted an anti-American theme."
      His reason for meeting with Nixon was to be named a "Federal Agent At Large" in the war against drugs, which is somewhat ironic when one considers the role that prescription drugs ultimately played in Presley's death.
