  • I have taken the liberty to edit some of the rough language from this documentary. I still recommend that it be considered PG-13 due to subject matter and what is left of mature language. I just wanted to upload a more censored version since it is a great documentary, with the exception of the Elvis impersonator performing An American Trilogy at the end. Otherwise it is an awesome documentary.

    I took my mom to see Elvis on her 40th birthday at the Long Beach Arena in California. She was 1 month older than Elvis and was so excited. The concert was fantastic. My mom was like a little screaming girl. She grew up with him. May they both RIP.

    True story:
    Elvis once was riding in a Limo and he asked the driver, do you like being a Limo driver and the driver said yes I do, I’m trying to get my own Limo to start my own business. Elvis bought him a brand new Limo the next day.

    I'm from California and flew with my dad to visit Graceland in 1996. My dad looked like the late Elvis with the slick back hair, a little on the heavy side and had the long side burns. At the gift shop I bought him 2 pairs of the Elvis lookalike sunglasses. When we left the tour and drove back to the hotel, at least 3 different people did double takes looking at my dad as he wore the sunglasses while in the passenger seat of our car. He got a kick out of it and made his day. Good times. Rest in peace Pop.

      I was exactly Lisa Marie's age in 1977 visiting my relatives in Cape Breton. All the adults were gone out of the house for some reason and it was just me and my brother and we heard it on the radio they left on. It's sort of freaking me out that she is gone though. Because even though I didn't know her I remember her at every stage of her life as I was at the same stage (through the tabloids though as we had a corner store, lol). I remember her high school rebellious years as in the tabloids would discuss it. Lol. And I remember her on the cover of People with her baby in the late 80s when she had her daughter, her music career in the 2000s, etc.

    He had so many people on payroll, taking a long break would affect these people's families and livelihood. Being the kind person he was, I'm sure that was another reason he didn't take a break or slow down. He felt a sense of responsibility to so many people, including the Colonel. Part of his demise was his unwillingness to put himself first and his own needs which at the same time shows how much he loved and cared for the people around him. He was a gift to us and a national treasure.

I have always had a passion for music and his pictures were plastered all over my bedroom wall as a teenager.
    His contribution to music is to be cherished and appreciated always. His physical beauty & magnetism, unlike any other musician I have ever seen (a few may have that special something but no one has ever matched him).
    For me, The '68 Comeback was the BEST & LAST of the raw & original Elvis that I so loved. Vegas, the cheesy movies & his demise with drugs...ALL NOT how I wish to remember him.
    Went to see the new Elvis movie with Austin Butler and can honestly say he deserves an award for his portrayal. I also loved that this movie depicted Elvis's early influence and throughout the years, which is soooo significant.
    What I never knew was how Elvis's mom was an alcoholic who drank herself to death. I also don't think his father was ever the family protector. I think Elvis has always carried the weight of responsibility for others on his shoulders and it ultimately just became too heavy a burden.
    A lot of talk about the evil of drugs killing Elvis but seems to me the carnival con "Colonel" was just as evil and destructive as the drugs were in Elvis's life. The drugs destroyed his body and mind but the Colonel destroyed his spirit.

    I got to see Elvis the year before he died. That concert was in Reno Nv. It was the first time he ever performed in Reno. When Elvis came to Reno was a charity concert. We had what they called “ dressing room seats” we were 4 rows from the stage right in the middle . There was one time I walked up to the stage to try and get a scarf and he was standing right above me. Was the most memorable event I ever lived through. I cried so hard when he died. Elvis was always my husband when I played house as a little girl.

      I was in high school when Elvis hit the airways. We all just went bananas over him. My boyfriend Glenn, at that time looked like Elvis, sang and played his guitar like Elvis and put on a show for all us like Elvis did. We would go to a Drive Inn restaurant in Missoula, where we were from and he’d set on the hood of his 1955 Chevy and start playing and singing then jump off the car and start his dance . Oh! I can still see him and hear him. I had a curfew ,had to be home at 11:00pm. And he’d say I have to get my girl home. Glenn was drafted into the Air Force and was stationed at Amarillo AFB, Texas. We lost track of each other and I married in 1958. After Elvis died I got to go to Graceland. A trip I’ll never forget as long as I live. His ‘55 Pink Cad. convertible is in a show case in the MGM Casino in Las Vegas,Nevada. I had the pleasure of seeing it. I never ever got to see him in person as when his show was in Reno because all tickets were sold out months before he appeared. When his show was taken to Hawaii tickets were sold out months before for. He was the IDEAL of my life to this day. (he was only five years older than me). My he rest in peace. ❤

      Many people heard about it on their car radios and immediately headed for Memphis--didn't even go home to pack. At least one lady was later charged with child abandonment for leaving her kids alone and unsupervised when she went to be near Elvis in death.
      I myself was on the way to Las Vegas and heard it about it on the car radio while driving across Hoover Dam. Las Vegas was an interesting place to be that night. On top of everything else, there was a torrential rainstorm with considerable localized flooding, as if the heavens were weeping for the King.
      Added in edit: On the first anniversary of his death a year later, Memphis was in the middle of a public-service crisis. The police and fire departments were both on strike, and there was dusk-to-dawn curfew enforced by the National Guard. Elvis fans didn't care about that, and thousands of them descended on the city anyway. Many arrived at the bus station without any lodging arrangements, and just took a cab straight to Graceland. Hundreds of people jammed the sidewalks in front of the mansion.
      With the curfew approaching, Vernon went down to the gate and offered to let the crowds onto the grounds for the night so they wouldn't get arrested--but they had to promise not to approach the house, and to leave first thing in the morning. What more could a true Elvis fan desire than to spend the night on the King's front lawn? One woman from Pennsylvania later wrote a letter/article printed in the Memphis paper, describing it as the most beautiful and serene night of her life.
      Most folks who lived in Memphis in those days could tell one or two Elvis stories. In my case, I worked at one of the movie theatres he would sometimes rent after hours, and we also had the same Tae Kwon Do instructor, Master Kang Rhee; but we never actually met. 🤠

Same smile and all, wasn't forced, it just was. My Dad would get mistaken for him all the time, would get kicked out of pool halls when they realized it wasn't really Elvis. When i was a kid I was looking at my dad's army pictures and asked him why he had pictures of Evis. He thought that was pretty funny and showed me actual pictures he had of Elvis from that time. It was bizarre, you'd think my dad was his deceased twin brother. Even as my Dad aged in the 70's he had the big chop side burns too. I wish I could attach pictures.

I believe the two front runners will be AB & Brendan Fraser (The Whale), especially since AB just won the GG award & BF won the CC award (which also kind of makes me nervous)! 🫣 My friend said it’s not fair for me to want AB to win because I haven’t seen BF in The Whale. I responded that in my opinion AB deserves to win over BF for one very important reason i.e., AB not only played EP, incredibly and spot-on, he’s also singing most of the songs in the movie, which is based on a true story! Sorry, not sorry, but as good as BF ‘s performance may be, the character is fictional and based on a play, and none of the predictions for best actor nominees are in true stories either.

    Elvis had propably more fun and joy in his lifetime than the rest of us in 80 + years. Yes, it is heartbreaking, his personality and gift is unmatched but he lived life to the fullest. The average person goes through one crisis after another and hates life more than once in a lifetime. May it be because of job, finances, relationships, separations, kids, losses, some devastating disease, acicidents or whatever life throws at people. If I would have a choice I would rather pass at a younger age when times are good before enduring senselessly endless pain and disappointments through a full lifetime.

Read the most up to date book, Destined To Die Young (2021) by an investigative journalist who delved into things not available back then. Elvis had a lot of pain in his life.

    Thank you so mch to all the contributors of this documentary. I never knew of Elvis Presley's life and such details. Thank you, thank you for opening up, sharing your sincerity and all your truths about this icon's real life experience behind the scenes. It seems he couldn't find a way out of the "working" chains he had been locked into for decades. He had a strong financial obligation and pressure to provide for so many through his performances. He was surrounded by many but he carried a deep loneliness. How sad it is to have come to know this about his life. Not the women, not the male friends he surrounded himself with and certainly not the drugs ever fulfilled him. He was searching for a spiritual experience but his performance obligations kept pulling him away from ever accomplish it. His body eventually freed him from this world. Rest in peace forever, king of rock "n" roll. 🙏❤️

    I grew up with Elvis in the background. My brothers, sisters, and parents all knew Elvis. I saw Reggie Vinson speak many years ago at a local church. Reggie is a relative of Elvis. He was with him before he died. Reggie recounted that Elvis gave his heart to the Lord near the end of his life. Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life..." I believe Elvis is with the Lord. Eternal Life with Jesus is the comfort we have and need in this world. Reunion with those we love is only possible with Him.

    I was lucky enough to have been a young boy when Elvis was at his best. The first record I ever bought was Return to Sender. I probably saw all his movies growing up. Now that I'm 67 I realize just how lucky I really was to have been part of that era. There was really no one like Elvis and there never will be. You really had to live during that time to understand what an impact he had. The picture starting at 51:49 brought a sadness to me for some reason. I guess it's that I realize the innocence is gone and there will never be anyone like that again for this generation to see. Thanks for posting this video.

      IMHO, opiates are particularly difficult. When he said he needed them, his body actually felt as though he needed them to feel bottom of the barrel well. With opiate addiction, it can quickly change from taking them to help pain to a physical dependence attempting to avoid withdrawal. It's a real feeling, and withdrawal is horrible. Can't imagine how much pressure, how hopeless, and alone he must've felt in the end. "Treatment" wasn't really a big thing. He had to carry so much on his shoulders, and he carried it all. No matter what I will always believe he is the GOAT, insane talent & almost surreal beauty. Never be another like him.

    I was a teenager when Elvis died. I grew up watching his films. I came home from school & my mom was not in the kitchen & there was no dinner on the stove. I found my mom in her room on the bed staring at the ceiling. "Elvis died". I went to my room & lye on the bed, staring at the ceiling & just cried my eyes out. Sweet sweet Elvis was gone. It felt like I lost a close loved family member because he was such a part of growing up. Like millions of others, Elvis was the first CRUSH, I ever had. The man walked out of a dream.

Long story short is bc I was born 1990 I wasn’t even thought about when he had passed away. Wish I was though bc he may not have been alive when I was born but he was loved by me, just the same.
      With all of the stories I have heard about him, I feel as if I knew him personally. He was definitely a true King. A King that loved & listened to his fans. He lived his life for his fans. This you learned by watching only 1 of his videos. So heartbreaking to learn that such a man passed away at such a young age. Sas, sad,sad! ❤
