As a white kid growing up in a mostly black area, I wasn’t into Elvis at first but my black friends dragged me to see his movies. What sold me was when I first saw a video of him performing in that gold suit ! Then I immediately recognized that this has got to be the coolest man I’ve ever seen with that self confidence. My black friends also got me into Brenda Lee too. At their house , the records played were Ray Charles, Mary Wells, Bobby Bland , Sam Cooke, Dinah Washington, Brook Benton and Elvis, Brenda Lee and Joey Dee and the Starlighters !
I used to mock Elvis at school in the 80's. As I only knew the fat parody Elvis. Then a substitute hippie teacher, filling in as our music teacher was ill. And she opened my mind, and when I scratched the surface, I grew to realise what a Muppet I previously was. 😂🥃
Elvis had best friends were black had cook that black maids Black bought new house New cars cook And made were black Elvis the only artist gave to charities Gave jewelry rings bought new cars everybody Elvis Made Pure Gold. Shared his wealth to the max
Black people who knew him personally both in entertainment and everyday people, said nothing but positive loving things about him, calling him a white man with a black soul. A quote from a black woman named Magnolia Smith who was just 19 when Elvis met and befriended her in 1974 and hired her and put her through college, "He was my friend, we were quite close. Many black people think Elvis was racist, but I knew him better than that. He treated me like a father would a daughter". Most black people today believe the lies spread because they have been raised to look down on whites as bad people because of the past instead of educating themselves to learn about the real Elvis. They go with narratives instead of facts.
Elvis jedyny KING wszelkiej muzyki ,jedyny KING rock and rolla, Elvis jedyny KING ludzkich serc..!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Elvis na zawsze !!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Elvis non ha rubato nulla a nessuno. Lui è cresciuto influenzato dalla musica delle petsone di colore, gli piaceva la ammirava. E poi ogni genere musicale lo ha intetpretato con il suo stile unico. E dopo Elvis altri si sono ispirati a lui....❤❤❤
Elvis is the gift who brought a world blacks, browns and whites together to a new generation. Without Elvis, there’ll be no Beatles, Michael Jackson and more..
Little Richard: "Elvis Presley has done more for us black people than any politician in this world."! james brown: "I wasn't just a fan of Elvis, we were brothers too"! James Brown was the last person to touch Elvis before the coffin was closed. That was his wish.
What people don’t understand is way back then, Elvis opened the door for black artists. There was much more racism back then. Elvis helped the black artist break through. It took a white man to do this. That’s just the way it was back then.
some people these days are so brainwashed and too lazy to do a proper research for themselves ..videos like this maybe will help open their eyes and ears
----------------- When an artist covers a song, they record it AFTER the original artist already had their own hit with it. That's what cover means Stealing? No, he paid royalties to all the songs he covered, not just R&B. Rock vs Blues.... Another fallacy is that Rock & Roll is identical to R&B. Set aside the term rock, because it's been used in blues, Country, and no one knew how to classify it when Elvis came along. Listen to Elvis' 1954-55 Sun Studio recordings (not the live ones) and then compare side by side with the original Blues versions of those songs, and you will see the general differnce between Rock & Roll vs Blues I should also mention, unlike the Austin Butler Elvis movie, Elvis had a ton of influences, which were there right from the start at Sun (Country, Traditional European Hymns, Bluegrass, Appalachin Music, Classical, Opera, etc etc. All you need to see is Elvis' lifetime catalog of music and it like a shopping list of genres & artists, so blues were only a fraction of it. Certainly not to say blues weren't important though. Until the new millenium, bios always included mentions of his deep Country Music roots, and his singlehandledly mixing Country with Blues and came up with his own unique blend, called rockabilly. Bill Hailey is another example of a multi genre influence and blending music styles, yet Bill is nearly never mentioned anymore. His song, Rock ARound the Clock was the first #1 Rock song, and Billboard Music started the rock era with that song.
To the creator this video, I enjoyed it. However, the first time James Brown (The Godfather of Soul, Soul Brother #1) is mentioned, a still image of Jim Brown (civil rights activist and American football legend) is shown. They are not the same person.
THERE WOULD BE NO ELVIS ,NO BEATLES, NO BEACH BOYS,NO ROLLING STONES,NO SANTANA,PAT BOONE,NO MONKEES, NO PONK FLOYD,NO BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS,NO CHICAGO IF WASN’T FOR BLACK MUSIC.
More people need to be like Elvis Presley. He treated every one equally. No matter what you're skin color was. We are all equal in the eyes of God. It would be nice if everyone would get a long in this world. 💞🕯️🫂😊🙏
The only thing Elvis ever stole was the hearts of millions of fans around the world.
Billion Fans over the world: ua-cam.com/users/shortsiEVQE2k4eRU

Yes , we want more video like this about Elvis
Elvis grew up surrounded by black folks and black culture and The South. It was fated for Sam Phillips and Elvis to meet.
Elvis had best friends were black had cook that black maids Black bought new house New cars cook And made were black Elvis the only artist gave to charities Gave jewelry rings bought new cars everybody Elvis Made Pure Gold. Shared his wealth to the max
Favorite song, Wonder of you. Felt like he sang it to the fans.

Was never a big fan of EP, but i credit him for this, he was good to his parents, he went to the Army like a man when he was drafted.
What people don’t understand is way back then, Elvis opened the door for black artists. There was much more racism back then. Elvis helped the black artist break through. It took a white man to do this. That’s just the way it was back then.
AND YET THEY CALLED IT THE FABULOUS

BROTHER ELVIS WAS A GOOD WHITE BROTHER.
WHO WAS VERY RESPECTFUL OF BLACK PEOPLE.
MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE FOREVER !
He was the main propagandist of Rock. He opened the hearts of white Americans to black music.

Music belongs to everyone bb king copied Spanish guitar players. Chopin played with heavy rhythms. Everyone has influences. Everyone
Elvis was king of rocknroll.these people saying he stole it are racist punks.
Hello i am Elvis Damazio and I look like Elvis Presley, my canal in UA-cam is Elvis Damásio, i'm from Brazil.
(I'm The clone of Elvis Presley)
Cool!
We’ll let’s just ask the black community what they think?
Poverty my ass. Tired of people saying he came from rags to riches. Elvis in his own words said he didnt grow up rich or poor.
More people need to be like Elvis Presley. He treated every one equally. No matter what you're skin color was. We are all equal in the eyes of God. It would be nice if everyone would get a long in this world. 💞🕯️🫂😊🙏
