Elvis was definitely a good mixture of both his parents in looks. People talk about him having his mother’s eyes, but Gladys had large brown eyes, while Vernon had smaller blue ones. I honestly think Elvis had his dad’s eye shape, color, deep setting, and eyebrows, but Gladys’s epicanthic fold. The forehead and ears are all Gladys. The overall face shape, hands, and nose are Vernon. Elvis’s jawline, cheekbones, lips, and smile are a combination of both of his parents.
When I visited Graceland in 2006, the PA system at the beginning of the tour played an old home recording of Vernon, Gladys And Elvis singing together; Vernon sounded even more like Elvis than he does here, and Gladys had a sweet voice too. Wish the estate would release it!
Elvis was not at all happy about his Daddy marraring her less than 2 years after his beloved Momma passed; in fact he made him and her live off Graceland property. Also sje (Dee) never loved Vernon, she was after Elvis, but Elvis couldn't stand her
I feel bad for Vernon. I'm not sure but I think he suffered a lot in his life despite of having money; houses; cars and so on. Imagine losing your wife and later your only son. He had a sweet and good voice. You can tell he felt in his heart what he was singing.
I never heard Vernon Presley sing. This brought tears to my eyes. You can surely tell that the singing gene was passed from father to son. Thank you so much for posting this video, it's an absolute treasure! God bless.
In 1972 at 13 years old was in Vegas with my family and playing in the arcade at Circus Circus while my parents and siblings were gambling and elsewhere. I started talking to another boy I met and persuaded him to walk with me to the Hilton where Elvis was performing, thinking we could meet him. Someone told me he stayed in a suite on the top floor so we got into the elevator . Just then in walked Vernon, Jerry Shilling and a lady. I still remember thinking Vernon was really tall and Jerry had big muscular arms( was wearing a tight short sleeve shirt) I was to shy to say anything. When the door opened on the 34? floor there was a guard seated with a gun. As the door closed I thought about how close I came to meeting my idle, the boy and I argued all the way back about why we didn't say anything to Vernon!
you can see where Elvis learned to sing, its the down home roots that always mean so much more than voice lessons ever will.....Lord bless them both. I pray there both singing in your choir n heaven.
Para Elvis Presley en estás circunstancias... Su madre fue su mayor orgullo. Uno de sus más grandes amores.... Elvis maravillos Gladys tu madre fue lo más increíble. Solo por el hecho de haber parido al ser más maravilloso y extraordinario del universo
I never understood why so many hate on Vernon Elvis Presley. Elvis loved his dad very much ! I have had a fascination with Elvis since age 7. I've read all the books, I know all the bullshit and the truth. People say some ridiculous things about this man. I have studied Elvis' family like they were my own... Have some respect people. Vernon loved his son Elvis. You all need someone to blame isn't it...
Elvis has his fathers nose and forehead. I can see a glimmer of Vernon in his eyes. But Elvis was his mother. The chin, the smile and those sultry sexy eyes, all Gladys. Yeah, he was his fathers son. But he was his mother’s heart.
Some people have huge irrelevant issues with people they don't know. I love this video. For some reason I never even thought what Vernon might have sung like. TY for posting. I've read Rick Stanley's book twice and heard him speak, and I sure don't think he's evil. He loved Elvis and Elvis was good to him. But none of us were there, so I sure wouldn't cast ANY stones; let alone the first one. Lovely clip!

Very touching, haunting. It made my eyes fill with tears. I can't even imagine how much pain he was in when Elvis died. 💔

It's a shame that Vernon and Elvis never recorded together.
You and your son will live in our hearts forever Vernon ♡
There is a family member that stated that the entire presley could sing of course we all know who had the real talent

Very nice, definitely the same kind of love and warmth in his voice that Elvis had.

Beautiful Singing Voice With Elvis Presley Father Vernon
