But I’m not understanding what you’re trying to say … the importance of watching the last broadcasted video is not to feel pity for Elvis Presley. Quite the contrary, it’s to Show in my personal opinion what endurance what dedication what love he had for us fans to get on that stage and to give everything he had. That’s the glory of that video.

    Elvis also was not a trained pianist or guitarist or musicial composer. Could not read music. All self-learned. He loved performing & always wanted his fans to have the best performance. He appreciated his fans & was always kind to them, took time to talk to them. He had said it doesn't bother him if his fans tore his shirt off his back. They were the ones who put it there. Remarkable talent & human being. Honest & genuine reaction. Thank you!

    What you called "super-sized Elvis" was actually a deathly ill man swollen with edema. Charlie Hodge - the guy holding the microphone - was mostly Elvis' right-hand man on stage - keeping the show organized, maintaining the song list for the shows, singing harmony with Elvis, playing piano for certain songs, making sure there was water/Gatorade for Elvis throughout the show, hanging the scarves around Elvis neck, and whatever else was needed. And when necessary, when Elvis wanted him to - holding the mike. He was also the object of many of the practical jokes Elvis would play on stage. Even at this point, when Elvis was within months of his death, Charlie made sure Elvis had what he needed to be able to give the fans the best show he was able to give.
    That having been said, thank you for a lovely review. I hope you will do more research on Elvis and continue to discover the greatness, the fun and the charm that is Elvis.

    This was one of his last performances. It was filmed for a tv special. He died 6-8 weeks after this was filmed. The special was shown approx a month after his death. We were still reeling from his death, so this was so hard to watch then and even now. Until people saw the special we had no idea how sick he was. When Baz Luhrman shot this scene for the recent Elvis movie he had Austin Butler’ Elvis transition into the real Elvis using this exact footage. The entire audience gasped. I started sobbing.

    Elvis NEVER became a parody of himself. Elvis got ill. Those weren't gaudy outfits, they were custom works of ART, and each one had a special meaning. They represented HIS RESPECT for the DIVERSITY of his fans. Elvis spoke through his music and clothing attire. He was ALWAYS a trendsetter. Elvis suffered from inflammatory issues that were the cause of him appearing overweight. He really wasn't all that "fat". His enlarged colon and heart (colon was 3 times the normal size of a man his size) were just part of a condition that doctors were just learning to figure out about.
    It was a small number of THE PEOPLE, cruel people that MADE FUN OF HIM, ruthlessly, that was the parody. THEY were the joke. What Elvis needed was REHAB & REST. 6 months AWAY FROM THE BUSINESS, to lean himself out and see a NEW SET OF DOCTORS and most importantly TO FIRE "Tom Parker" and "Dr Nick". Parker was on the way out... But Dr Nick Elvis placed his trust in. Back then, we blindly trusted all our doctors.
    Elvis was first in many things. Unfortunately, Elvis TRUSTED his physician. He could never of fathomed that his OWN DOCTOR was feeding him lethal doses (many times over) of painkillers and other pharmaceuticals (instead of DOING THE ACTUAL WORK OF TREATING HIS CONDITIONS -- and recommending THAT ELVIS SEE SPECIALISTS for each ailment). Michael Jackson was killed by his physician in a VERY, VERY similar way. Elvis was repetitively blindsided by PARKER AND NICK, LITERALLY TO DEATH... and they cheated THE WORLD of one of its most BEAUTIFUL & GENEROUS & TALENTED HUMAN BEINGS.

    On the subject of his style of music, etc. People forget he grew up not only in the ghetto but he was raised in a black neighborhood of Tupelo, Mississippi. In past interviews, he gives credit to those who inspired him. It was his manager, Thomas Andrew Parker commonly known as "Colonel" did a lot shady shit, even behind Elvis's back. Another thing one has to keep in mind, Elvis was so medicated from pain pill during this time (he died a few weeks later), that he could barely remember the lyrics to his own songs. This song hits hard and you can hear in his voice.

    When a person becomes so famous as Elvis (not many do) people full of ressentiment comes out from under their rocks to start rumors (always bad ones) to draw that person down so they dont fell so inferior. It just doesnt work , in time truth will prevail 😊

      This was his private life nothing to do with his talent as a singer! If we bring up this can of worms then we need to think about other artistes also i’m sure Elvis next to these would sound and look like a choir boy! It’s best not go there you don’t want someone to open an even bigger can now do you?

    Thank you for your kind words. Racism and discrimination goes all ways, not always against people of color. EP was a humble and generous and funny person....he helped more people, regardless of race, than most of us can lay claim at any time. A true superstar and musical genius with the voice of an angel...he was gloriously beautiful as well 💯❤️.

Tell me why it is okay for me to see the same names, you included Kim Domas, making comments on Elvis reactions, but I don't call you and the others a troll? Just in case you missed that, that is a question. Is it by you standards okay for people to make a comment about Elvis so long as it paints Elvis in a positive light? That is a question too. Now, tell me why I am not afforded the same opportunity as every one else on this forum to comment? That is a question too. Can you do that? That too is a question.

      I disagree he was a genius in which he sold it all the audience, the interpretation. The amount of genres he did with authenticity..I have never seen another artiste that could play their voice like a musical instrument! He is iconic there’s no getting away from it! His impact is felt after all these years! I have heard really good singers in my time, but they mostly stayed in their own lane and didn’t branch out! I don’t care what anyone says he had it in spades. All done without any professional training! There’s Elvis then there’s everyone else! He is in his own category! Longevity is the true key of an artiste!
