Elvis. I can listen to him everyday. Never gets old 💯💥💪🙏
I am not going to comment on these two but I will say I love Elvis I've been a fan for 50 years in my opinion he will always be the king of rock and roll.
Comparing Elvis To Chaplin is ridiculous! Which one is world renowned. Comparing him to anyone is ridiculous.
Both are world renowned. Chaplin was world renowned about forty years before Elvis. Yes, Chaplin was FAMOUS FAMOUS. He literally changed the nature of celebrity overnight. These are facts.
@@scottmoore1614 I had a crazy experience at his grave in 1990. Many others have said the same thing. He was channeling some kind of energy.
@@understandingelvis2675 COOL 😎
Right
Elvis is dead almost 47 years. He's still selling as much as some live performers. FYI John Lennon was crazy about Elvis always. Yes there was Sinatra, Bing, Dean but they never were a worldwide phenomena like Elvis. Are people still visiting their homes and congregating and graves? You could say his name anywhere in the world and people of all ages still know who he was. There are no comparisons. Sometimes Bill you just want to be right.
Really cool of Trace to interview Bill Maher.
NOBODY WAS LIKE ELVIS ❤
There are few people that you can remember what you were doing when you heard they passed. Elvis was one I remember like it was yesterday. I was 8 years old. No other musician can I remember exactly what I was doing
I remember the day he died. I was seven. I recall classmates immediately joking about Elvis “dying on his throne”. I’ll never get over that….the biting cruelty of celebrity. Loving you one minute and carelessly joking about your passing the next. How the hell could you come up with jokes that damn quickly?
I know, right? I was in high school, and knew who Elvis was of course, but not a huge fan, and I remember exactly the spot I was at when I heard it.
I can and it was a very rough day for me! I was 19 and when it hit the news it dominated the news! I still cry when I see an old newsreel and the white hearse and white lips and the music gates of Graceland! Was an Elvis fan from the time I knew the word and will be till the day I die! There will never be another like him! ❤❤❤
Barbara was never a bigger star than Elvis, what are you smoking Bill…😂
Bill has terrible judgment. Booze.
The 1968 comeback special by Elvis in the leather shirt and pants! That voice that beautiful face.Unbeatable.😎
One of the greatest live entertainers of all time, but he only did three TV 📺 specials. I always wondered about that. My aunt and late uncle were huge fans of his. My aunt has a collection of scarfs he threw to the audience during his Las Vegas shows. My uncle took photographs of him during those performances. Elvis knew, and let him do it without hassles from his bodyguards or hotel security.
"HIVEL SWIPS" FFS 🤣🤣🤣
Known to the world by his first name only...ELVIS. you don't get it bill...The voice only is unmatched!
Elvis…Chaplin…Sinatra…Marilyn, etc... Your point?
@@scottmoore1614not even close. Go read the article Elvis In the Heart of America in Time Magazine. See what the true greats think of what he did, how he changed American culture, and understand the almost religious following that Elvis still has, after all these years. Look at the number of impersonators alone, the massive followers, the treks to Graceland, the musical tributes. Nobody says Sinatra is alive and well in Brazil, like with Elvis. None of those you mentioned have the massive following that Elvis has. My granddaughters, 10 and 12, know who Elvis is, but no clue of those you mentioned.
@@samhugh4965 The point being….famous people with ONE name.
"Charlie Chaplin"
😂
Well stop arguing with me then 😂🤣
People need to educate themselves about Elvis' health. It was horrible during the last year of his life.
His being "fat" was mostly caused by a
twisted colon (he also had a megacolon) that disrupted his ability to digest and eliminate waste. This caused him to puff up and look fat. You can see pictures of him performing and see him one day puffed up and a few days he looked normal.
Elvis is the King!
Elvis was originally a RockaBilly guy, those guys were the punk rockers of their time!!👍😎👍
Yeah an entertaining money machine who never composed any music but stole everything from those incredible BLACK musicians
@@ginomazzei1076He stole nothing from black musician and you're a clown 🤡
Listen to the live performance of Elvis & Sinatra together on stage & compare the hollers & screams whenever Elvis sings vs Sinatra. That’ll tell you all you need to know.
That’s an unfair comparison because Sinatra was 45 and Elvis was 25 when they sang together in 1960, so of course more people would swoon at the youthful Elvis. That was at a special welcoming Elvis back from his military service so the crowd would have been primarily his fan base, who were excited to see his return. Sinatra’s days of making the young women scream when they say him had been roughly twenty years before then in the early 1940s.
@@nickthomas6827 That’s a fair point, but compare album sales. Elvis topped Sinatra in that regard, as well. Elvis also beat Michael Jackson in that respect, too. I’m pretty sure he’s the number one selling solo artist of all time.
@@balladofthebroken7569
Taylor's Swift
Garth Brooks
Have passed Elvis in several categories
Sinatra was 20 years younger and not of the current generation when they had that duet. Having said that, it was incredible.
Whoops…..Elvis was 20 years younger
My neighbor, Miss Pat, said she would pick cotton to make extra money. My mother and aunt did it, too. One of the things they picked cotton for was to see Elvis at the Tupelo Fairgrounds. Grandmama was a huge fan of Elvis, too. Mama would take Grandmama and Aunt Linda to the fairgrounds in her '57 Chevy she bought used with her pay from the clothing factory and picking cotton. My band director from high school used to play music with Elvis on his grandmother's porch. He would sling his saxophone case over his shoulder and bicycle over and they would jam on the porch. My English teacher dated Elvis in high school when he was going to Milam in Tupelo. His parents moved to Memphis when he was 8, but he stayed with his grandmother in East Tupelo a lot growing up. A lot of people around here have at least one Elvis story, either first hand or from their parents or grandparents.
I wish I had properly interviewed my cousin about his time at Sun Records in Memphis as an artist and later on, a production manager at the studio, hanging out with all the greats like Elvis, Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, too many to list.
Amazing experiences and stories.
Does Bill maher have to argue and disagree about Everything?? 😂
You were right❤
Sinatra was famous in the 40’s and 50’s.
Check out the recent interview of Priscilla and she said Elvis hated all those movies, it drove him crazy. Thanks for the upload. Great to see Trace
Elvis and Sinatra walk into a room in their prime, everyone goes up to say hi to Elvis. Even Sinatra. Period.
Elvis surpassed both Crosby and Sinatra. The four Beatles combined can't compare to Elvis in his voice. Looks. Fashion on and off stage and stage. presence . Bill should read thd book, Destined to Die Young by Sally Hoedel, it's a great read and thoroughly researched about Elvis family history and medical history. It explains alot. Elvis was very ill, inherited illnesses, he needed the meds to survive his life and the amount of work he did to keep so many family and friends employed. The Colonel suppressed his artistry and worked him like a race horse. Dr Nick gave him medical care like a race horse, shoot him up to keep him going. The man will never be forgotten. He was so humble and respectful, polite. Just watch all his interviews with the media. Celebrities today could learn some lessons
Beautifully said!! ❤
Chaplin was more famous than all of them at his height and is still world renowned in every corner of the globe. No one had ever seen popularity like that before him. Chaplin literally changed the nature of celebrity, practically overnight. He predated Elvis by about 40 years. Regardless…I love Chaplin and Elvis..and Sinatra!
You are right about Chaplin. He was an actor and director, movies. Elvis was the one who changed music and the culture forever. Because of him rock and roll became mainstream and influenced all who came after him. Sinatra is great too. He had his time as a heart throb too and in the limelight like Elvis ( before Elvis) . But I have to say only Elvis is the most loved and watched and listened to to this day. He has surpassed them. No disrespect to them but Elvis is watched and loved and more known today
Bill has something in common with me. The more you know him the less you like him.
😂😂😂😂
That’s me too.
Bacharach did not write "Any Day Now" for Elvis. Chuck Jackson had the hit with the song in the early 1960s.
The first super star before elvis was most likely frank Sinatra. Turned out screaming teens. 😅
That was my first thought
Sure, why not.
He made the girls swoon, but Elvis made them go insane. Elvis was something new…sultry, forbidden, sexual. There were cries that Elvis the Pelvis be banned from tv, and indeed, even jailed. That made him even MORE enticing. Elvis, after all these years, has this massive following, with a multitude of impersonators and tributes. Couples go to Vegas to be married in an Elvis chapel. Does anyone ever claim Sinatra was somehow still alive after his passing? People still swear Elvis is alive and living in Brazil. Now THAT’S fame.
Bill Maher is not really an Elvis fan. Anybody who disregards the "fifties Elvis" doesn't understand the Elvis mania at all,--especially when one even preferred the later Elvis. --although I respect his opinion.
Bill Maher loved the fifties Elvis, he just feels it wasn’t the same once he went to the military in 1958
Maher has a point on Chaplin
Lol Chaplin was famous but Elvis was FAMOUS FAMOUS. Can't compare the two. Everyone still talks about Elvis, Chaplin not so much.
Frank Sinatra was also huge in the 40's and 50's
Even my 85 year old aunt doesn't care about Chaplin.
@@nickbarcheck1019 They were talking about who was huge in their heyday not who is still famous today. You'd have to be 100 or older to have been around for Chaplin's pinnacle
@@SnoopyReads Cool story.
The excessive weed, and drinking is destroying Bill Maher brain... Elvis was amazing, and sadly he allowed others to destroy his career, and steal from him.
If you stop destroying your minid with booze and drugs you will sober up enough to realize that is exactly what bill is saying numb nuts
If Elvis didn't see it coming, it was his own fault for allowing it to happen.
Bill loves Elvis.
Bill called elvis a stupid hillbilly on his show years ago. Bill is partially demented.
You can't look for deeper meaning in anything Charlie Chaplin did come on Bill get off the pot! And Sinatra was no Elvis, what trend did Frank Sinatra started there Bill? Drinking and smoking while crooning wow!so deep there Bill Maher! Frank didn't have the number of women swooning over him as Elvis did including Ann Margret ,now that was a every guy's fantasy fuck including Frank😅😅😅😅
Well, who is still the biggest seller. ELVIS. Who has not been forgotten by millions of people...ELVIS
ELVIS was the best. Elvis could sing every kind of music opera & all. Sexiest & best looking man maybe ever❤
- - - - - - bEATLES VS ELVIS
the Beatles did not outdo elvis. I do agree they were more popular in the mid 1960s when Elvis was preoccuppied with movies. But They did not knock Elvis off his perch, as Paul Mcartney says. When the beatles arrived, Elvis was not competition for anyone. He wasn't recording real music. It was Elvis' mid 1960s movies that knocked Elvis off his artistic & musical perch (for a time).
While beatles had a few more #1 songs on Billboard than Elvis, Elvis was stuck in those contracts & couldn't compete with serious music (not yet at least). Elvis owned the charts overall, as his stats (most of which are unbroken today) are that he had more chart activity, more top 10, top 40, and top 100 music than Beatles.
A mistake that most people make is using only the HOT100 chart, which began in late 1958, thereby omitting Elvis' hottest work from 1954 to Sept of 1958. So Cashbox, Billboards "top" chart (not to be confused with "hot" chart), etc must all be factored in.
Then theres' record sales, which I keep hearing the beatles are at 1.5B and elvis is "more than 1B" which isn't specfic. RCA did NOT certify every Elvis record beause that cost a fee, since RCA was in a position to know, they simply did it in-house and presented him with a gold record themselves. Problem was, Elvis kept getting gold / platinum records and RCA started blowing it off and not paying fees to get it done right. To this day I continue seeing comments that RCA is still in an audit to hunt down the stats. I believe Elvis most likely outdid them in sales. I wish that audit crap would just get over already.
Elvis was more important in the music history than beatles. He came along at the most critical time, he blended white & black music forms and fought the media for his free speech, and popularized rock & roll. Let'd be honest, Rock and Blues are not identical. While there is crossover, something different happned when elvis began covering country as well as blues songs. He had his own sound, a blending of genres. Our music was De-segregated because of Elvis.
Finally, those who say Elvis cannot compete with the beatles forgot that at the height of the Brit Invasion, RCA released Crying in the Chapel in 1965. It went to #1 in England, and #3 in the USA. Whenever they released serious music, not that movie soundtrack stuff, it showed Elvis could still get to the top of the charts.
Likewise, in 1968 in his tv comeback specially, while the beatles were still together, Elvis was back! right up to 1970 when Elvis got another #1 song and a long line of top 10 & top 40 hits all while beatles were still together. Elvis easilly competed with them and even got another #1.
Billboard put out a formula for how they rated all the artists of the rock era 1955 to then present day (1987) and it considered radio air play, weeks on the charts, chart positions for each song, juke box play, gold/platinum/multi platinum, album, singles, etc etc etc. Each factor was weighted and added together. Elvis was clearly in the #1 spot they said, with the beatles achieving a score of less than 1/2 of Elvis.
Casey Kasem also did a show, a countdown of every artist, corroborating what I said in the last paragraph. Don't get pulled into some artists today claiming they exceeded Elvis, as they don't factor in all of Elvis full body of work and only use 1 chart.
Elvis is currently in the most halls of fame, Rock, Country, Blues, Gospel.....
Elvis even outdid the beatles in yet another way, where he got simultaneous #1 songs on all 3 charts at once. Beatles, Mjackson, Queen, Madonna, etc cannot compete with that.
Elvis is clearly the most significant figure in modern music history.
Who is more iconic Elvis or the Beatles is one of the most philosophic question you can ever ask
Its individuality vs group or commune tendency
Its meccrtney vs Lennon
Some one should right a book about this
Complexes philosophical question
Its endless
Write
I’d definitely do it - I’m already writing a book now 😂.
Meccrtney? Your south is showing
Is it really that important a question? At the end of the day, I couldn’t care less. I love Elvis and the Beatles.
Bing was music in the 30s and 40s especially. He set the standard for those who followed him like Dean, Perry, Vic and multitude of other crooners.
Elvis would not have called the Colonel out on stage, I said the same thing; but they took dramatic license. But it did happen off stage. Most fans love the movie. I for one. I’m pretty tired of correcting those who think they know, but both of you are wrong on the movie. It was basically everything that had ever been in the news or of Elvis.
Let Me Narrow it!
The look on his face is hilarious.
Not saying I completely disagreed with it but I thought the mention of him still being alive in Men In Black was kinda funny to me. That was before I started listening to Elvis, his Sun Records time was incredible to me, right along with Cash and Jerry Lee! I had a great rock-a-billy phase in my life 😂
What's Hivel Swips....LOL
Until today: regardless of Sinatras fame….. In every little village, mountain town, jungles, lonely villages in the eastern world.. wherever, they all know ELVIS but barely Sinatra!
Same could be said of Chaplin.
@@scottmoore1614fame yes, but not hysteria. Elvis was hysteria.
@@samhugh4965 I’ve seen newsreel footage of Chaplin’s world tours he did back in the 20s and 30s. Trust me, it was hysteria. He was a rock star before there were rock stars.
@@scottmoore1614 if you get a chance, read Time magazine’s “Elvis in a Heart of America” article, and see what some of the greats have to say about him and his effect on culture. It’s amazing to me that an individual, an entertainer, can have that much power to affect change and in such a short amount of time. I wonder what it would have been like if Elvis had ever had a world tour. I also wonder if he ever regretted not going the other route that was offered to him in being part of a gospel quartet instead of rockstar.
Maher meant to say the pre-military Elvis - The Sun Session Recordings
Elvis #1
Elvis was amazing, I will take a quote from co-star you in same movie D.C. Cabs, I think you know it. lol"
Loved Elvis but my husband's music is my heartbeat now
Elvis in the 50’s was a bad MF
I agree with you two about the movie.
Elvis was a mega star❤ still love him.
Tom Hanks singlehandedly ruined the Elvis movie for me, everytime he was on screen I cringed
That was the point, o make you despise The Colonel
Hello…that’s what he was trying to do. I didn’t think it was possible to loathe Tom Hanks since he’s such a likable guy, but I absolutely loathed Parker. So kudos to Tom for doing his role well.
Chaplin was important, James Dean probably first modern cult of personality. Elvis wanted to be him.
Lol, as if he knows. 😆👌🏼
Agree with Trace!!!
The Colonel ruined Elvis, not the Army. The old thief deluded himself that he earned the money 💵. If he was so great, why didn’t he have more clients like honest agents and managers do?
Elvis is a old dude before my time he's not modern history, who do you choose then Bill, he says Charlie Chaplin, smoke another one.
The 20th century is in the modern era, you absolute walnut.
You do realize Charlie Chaplin and Elvis Presley existed in roughly the same time period, don’t you?
Elvis the greatest!!!
I think Bill needs to read a Time article titled “Elvis In the Heart of America” to understand the effect of Elvis on American Culture. The legendary composer and conductor of the New York Philharmonic, Leonard Bernstein, said this: Elvis Presley is the greatest cultural force in the 20th century.” It was countered with, “What about Picasso.” Bernstein said, “No, it’s Elvis. He introduced the beat to everything and changed everything-music, language, clothes, it’s a whole new social revolution-the 60s come from it.”
The article points out that while Sinatra was famous, he wasn’t Elvis famous. Elvis was something new, raw sexuality with an amazing voice. And large numbers of people don’t trek to Sinatra’s home town like they do to Graceland, and nobody claims that Sinatra is alive and living in Brazil like with Elvis. And in Vegas, people get married in an Elvis chapel, with Elvis cutouts and his music playing. Is there anyone that has the large number of impersonators as Elvis? And musical tributes that Elvis has? The answer is no. The article states that Elvis is, in a single word, a religion. Nobody else can claim that.
Unlike Bill, I like the young Elvis, up until 68 and his comeback special, and do not appreciate Vegas Elvis. There were a few songs that he did in the beginning that I found amazing, but by and large, I just can’t get into the antics of his stage show, and of course, the tragic decline of the superstar.
You didn't see him in Vegas at his peak. I did. You are crazy.
@@deborahstevens9763 I just didn’t dig the Vegas years at all. We all have our preferences.
Maher really has no clue.
Elvis outsold the Beatles by three times!
Oh Brother...Bill does not know the true Elvis. Main stream ignorance..so sad. Trace needs to educate him. Trance GETS ELVIS.Like millions of us get him.
With fans like Bill Maher who needs haters.
This guy sounds like a pack of cigarettes every hour
Beatles outdid Elvis ? Ya right, nobody outdid Elvis
Chaplin, Sinatra, Beatles... Really? That's no rock'n'roll. Elvis (specially in the mid 50's and in 1968) was the embodiement of rock culture. The voice, the moves, the charisma. It just was the perfect balance. Plus he changed the world back in 1956. Nothing was the same after his classic tv performances ("Ed Sullivan Show") and those terrific singles: HEARTBREAK HOTEL / I WAS THE ONE and HOUND DOG / DON'T BE CRUEL.
Bill Maher has no clue about rock'n'roll.
Hivel swips...2:02, is that anything like the Ring of Kock?
Col. Parker was a genius , but all geniuses have their
dark side, but I wouldn't blame him for everything.
Bill shouldn't joke about Elvis
🎯not a fan but bill spot on 😂
I was always big on the Beatles and disregarded Elvis but I slowly started recognizing and became annoyed with how people are really hard on Elvis but it’s ‘cool’ to be a Beatles fan. They always want to make fun of Elvis for getting hooked on drugs and becoming overweight but completely overlook at how shitty of a person John Lennon was. John would violently strike his first wife Cynthia (he admitted it), completely abandoned her and their son, and ran off with Yoko. But because he sang about peace he gets a pass.
Chaplin over Elvis?? Keep smoking Bill....
In terms of worldwide popularity…YES.
5:12
Frank Sinatra didn't come close.
Elvis didn't die from bad management…Elvis died because of Elvis. Colonel Tom Parker was a genius. If the Colonel was so bad at being a manager then why are we here in 2024 still talking about Elvis? When all the great Rock & Roll acts of the 1950s and 1960s were trying to fill 500 seats in the 1970s, Elvis was selling out Madison Square Garden and The Pontiac Silverdome. Elvis was an entertainer…he didn't know one thing about promoting or managing…that's why he stayed with The Colonel. He knew The Colonel could fill those arenas and get the deals done that no one else could do. Bill Maher is full of it and doesn't have a clue at what he's talking about.
Oh yeah? Elvis wanted to record I’ll Always Love You by Dolly Parton, but per Dolly, the night before the recording, she and Parker had a phone conversation that did not go well. Parker at first demanded full rights to the song. Dolly said, no, I can’t do that. It’s already been a #1 hit on the country charts. She had her family’s future to think about. Then he said 50%, and Dolly said he was being unreasonable. Dolly said she was devastated that it fell through (mid 70s). At first, when she talked about it, she was cautious with what she said, but later on, she spoke her true mind and said point blank that Parker screwed the whole thing up. She even wrote a song about it and sang with a guy that sounded a bit like Elvis…that’s how strongly she felt. Of course, Whitney Houston later did a cover of I’ll Always Love You and it became a massive hit. That’s just one instance that Parker screwed it all up, and there are others as well.
Parker did some good things for Elvis in the beginning, but Elvis should have canned him when he came back from the army, imo. Priscilla in 2018 said that it wasn’t that Parker was a completely horrible person, but that he treated Elvis as a commodity, as did the music studio, without giving any thought about what was best for Elvis. Jerry Schilling backed her up. This was during a question session with the producer of HBOs documentary on Elvis from 2018, along with Priscilla and Jerry. So, I’ve given you 3 people that know more than you and me about Parker. That was their experience.
@@samhugh4965 …You're spouting the same old crap that the media spouts. The Colonel was the bad cop to Elvis' good cop. Elvis got to thinking about A Star is born and knew he would have to lose weight and quit the pills. So The Colonel set the deal so high that Barbara and her manager declined it. And Elvis was clean free but made The Colonel seem like the bad one. Same way with recording songs. The Colonel wanted to make the best deal for his client…Elvis Presley. That's what managers do. Again…if The Colonel didn't know what he was doing then why has Elvis sold over a billion records and still outselling most artists today? Because of The Colonel and the deals he made. Quit being led around by the nose of the media and quit regurgitating the same old 6 and 7.
@@Guitarwizzard1833 sorry, kiddo. Those are Dolly’s words, not mine. Take it up with her and make sure to set her straight. And as far as the media, they report what they hear. And why would they spout lies? To what end? Some great conspiracy? Get a grip. And Elvis has sold all these records over the years because he has a helluva voice and an amazing delivery, not because of Parker’s wizardry.
@@samhugh4965 …Sorry old man. If you think the media tells the truth then you are more of an idiot than you appear to be. Elvis was a singer and an entertainer. He knew nothing about management. All the deals that were made was at the hand of Colonel Tom Parker. After almost 70 years it seems The Colonel knew what he was doing. Of course i'm sure The Colonel would have done so much better with advice from a Monday morning quarterback such as yourself. 😂
Beatles over Elvis. Always.
LOL!!
And STONES over the Beatles, twinkles! 😝
Never in a million years.
Hivel swips. Put down the pipe. Back away from the bottle.
Bill needs to quit getting high and drunk while doing this podcast. It’s just embarrassing!
I guess you have to walk then....
John Lennon: "Before Elvis, there was nothing."
Anyone with good taste since: "Before The Beatles, there was nothing."
john actually stated numerous times that chuck berry is the creator of rock n roll and no one in rock would be around without him.
Also, he admired buddy holly way more than elvis, because buddy actually wrote his own music, unlike elvis who stole music from black musicians.
@@infiniteeic I'm also of the opinion that Chuck Berry was the best and most important musician of his time, Elvis was just more popular and The Beatles are both the best and most popular ever.
And BOTH pretentious, asinine statements.
@@neil865apparently you haven’t heard what Leonard Bernstein, you know, of New York Philharmonic, said about Elvis Presley. He said that “Elvis Presley is the greatest cultural force in the 20th century. He introduced the beat to everything-music, language, clothes, it’s a whole new social revolution-the 60s come from it.” It wasn’t just music that Elvis changed, it was culture, from someone that lived it.
From Tim McGraw, “What he did was earthshaking. He changed not only the music that we make but social norms and the way that we look at each other.” Bob Dylan said, “Hearing him for the first time was like busting out of jail.” Dillon was quite upset after Elvis died and said, “I went over my whole childhood. I didn’t talk to anyone for a week after Elvis died. If it wasn’t for Elvis and Hank Williams, I couldn’t be doing what I do today.” Dylan also said this, “The highlight of my career? That’s easy. Elvis recording one of my songs.”
I can’t help but wonder if Bob Dylan and George Harrison regret standing up Elvis after Elvis’s Madison Square Garden concerts in 1972, 4 in all, all sold-out, given how upset Dylan was after Elvis died. By 72, Elvis had started his downward spiral physically and mentally. Incidentally, Elvis called Fats Domino the King of rock’n’roll.
I need you to know the pass and tickets and money was sent back
Quit talking about Elvis's weight. Shame on you.
Did I miss the Taylor Swift part?
He must be on the adkins diet

Bill is a jerk
. . . . .. .ERASING ELVIS OTHER INFLUENCES:
As for the Austin Elvis biopic movie, good & bad. First, Austin was the best to ever portray Elvis, hands down. But, the movie had an agenda for 2023, it only showed Elvis as a product of the blues. it totally erased Elvis Country Music roots. A newcomer to Elvis would walk away thinking Elvis only had blues idols, not knowing about Elvis great love of Bluegrass (Flatt & Scruggs, Bill Monroe, etc), nor his love of country music (Hank Williams, Hank Snow...) or his love of gospel stars like JD Sumner, Blackwoods, Statesmen, Hovie Lyster, Ernie Ford..... Then there's his biggest idol DEAN MARTIN, which elvis depserately wanted to be crooner like him & Bing Crosby. All of this was lost in the movie, on purpose. Listening to Elvis in 1970 & 1972 interviews, he set it straight: he loved spanish music, Classical, Opera, cowboy singers in the 1940s movies, Big Band, etc.
Can't even listen to any more
Charlie Chaplin is modern history ?
Yes. The 20th century is the modern era.
Yeah Trace, the 20th century is modern fucking history. I was starting to think Trace was cool, till the dumb hick started coming up.
Thank you. Do people realize they existed in roughly the same time period? They died the same year….Elvis died before Chaplin!
Crazy bill…so out of touch as always
Elvis grooming 14yr old Priscilla when he was 24 is impossible to ignore.
Similar to Chaplin……how ironic! 😝
Donald Trump really does look like Elvis.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣Maybe during his "fat" years 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Looks like Elvis . I just gave that comment a Danny Thomas like spit with coffee in my mouth. LOL
@@Elphaba1952viva lost wages

Elvis: blazing a trail for minor attracted persons. What a team he and Jeffrey would have made.
Elvis is maybe the most overrated person in the history of pop culture.
Hardly
I can think of MANY others with NO fucking talent, simply famous for being famous.
No, there are many with no talent who are simply famous for being famous.
And famous, musical artists disagree with you. So yeah, your perception is more spot on than theirs. 🙄 Ever heard of Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen, Leonard Bernstein, Tim McGraw, Tom Petty? Ya know, musical greats? Those greats have a different opinion than yours of how influential Elvis was.
Kim Kardashian. That is an overrated celebrity. Not Elvis.
The Beatles sucked
