I have never heard Charlie Hodge sing by himself, he had a great voice. It blended so well with Elvis, he was such a loyal friend no wonder there was always Charlie’s room in Graceland.
Vero. Ho letto che Charlie , nel periodo del servizio militare, aveva dato suggerimenti, insegnamenti ad Elvis su come impostare al meglio la sua bellissima voce.....ed Elvis si è sempre fidato del suo amico Charlie.... Saluti
@@richardwhite1343 well elvis never thought that , he was very particular about his backing singers , all the very best and all hand picked by elvis . he will have only chosen the very best !!
@@gassbaggerwoods5955 being a backing singer is totally different then lead singing plus Charlie wasn't his backing singer that was JD and his gang charlie was the guy who hands him his water/scarfs and did some harmonies that's all but singing lead he is absolutely terrible
Not only a true friend to Elvis, but a great voice that helped Elvis out so that he could perform the way he needed to for his fans. 😊 A job well done in choosing Charlie, Elvis. Both are greatly missed. 😇 RIP
A truly friend anybody could ever ask for, and Elvis Presley was his friend. Rest In Peace Charlie, for you are reunited with Elvis again in Heaven and his twin brother, Jesse.
I met him once we talked for about 20 mins about Elvis he was a very special man very very special and very polite .. God Bless him ! He is missed I bought a CD from him and he signed it too
Christopher Thompson He had you fooled. Charlie was one of the most petty,backstabbing and jealous person Elvis had in his employ. Why do you think Vernon kicked him out of Graceland before Elvis was even buried. Vernon knew the truth about that charlatan Charlie Hodge.
@Jon Smith he explained that , he can't help he was told that by dr nick he was only saying wat he was told , it was born out after he said that the autopsy was wrong can't blame Charlie,
He was also Elvis' stage director. He did much more than hand scarves and water, even more than singing harmony and playing acoustic guitar. He was also the most loyal of the MM after Elvis' death--never a bad word about his friend.
@@abc-wv4in agreed , not many people know mch about his life with elvis and jst how a very valued member of the men he was to elvis he had a very close bond with charlie !!
I think Charlie was the best friend Elvis had he trusted him he was a good man. I love the thing s he said about Elvis when they interviewed him listen to it yourself it was brilliant he didn't say one bad thing about Elvis beautiful touching . Charlie through the world of Elvis they respected each other 👑👑👑♥️♥️♥️🙂🙂🙂
A true friend to Elvis right up until the end. More than I can say for most.RIP dear Charlie with Elvis. What a talented man.😊😇😊😇😊😇😊😇 You are missed so.!
Wonderful Charlie Hodge... great singer in his own right as well as great with Elvis... loyal Friend to the king... always...EP forever 💞 RIP wonderful Charlie Hodge...
This is why Elvis kept Charlie close to him. Charlie was a superb vocalist and a perfect vocal accompaniment to Elvis. He was also Elvis' most trusted friend.
Yes very true and worded so beautiful ! Always appreciate an Elvis Fan’s input of Love and Respect and definitely true ! Elvis ‘s eyes showed with a sparkle who he loved & adored in his life 🙌🏼⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
You can hear a little of Elvis in Charlie's voice. It is said Charlie gave Elvis some vocal training. Notice how Charlie puts the guitar at the back when he does the high vocal? That's because he does not too restrict his diaphragm and breathing to get those high notes.
Ok..he may have been a little off key at times...but we all get older. The bigger point is that this man truly missed his friend..and wanted to share that with anyone who would listen.
Elvis loved gospel songs more then any songs proves where his heart was with always Jesus Christ. no matter how big he got he always had Jesus embedded derp in his heart soul a mind. his faith never wavered.
Charlie finished off a lot of the songs on stage with elvis. I always noticed elvis stop singing and another voice sustaining the final note- that was Charlie
Charlie Hodge was secure enpugh in himself and doing the Lords work that he humblecld himself to hand out scarfs and water to our Elvis. God Bless You Charlie Hodge. i have the upmost respect fof you and your loyalty to another human being was never over looked by God who is all that matters. Elvis you were so Blessed to have Charlie and we all were blessed to have you both. 💖
Pat Lamm That’s right when Elvis would introduce Charles he would say and. This is Charlie the one that hands me the scarfs and gives me water 💦 and so forth and Charlie was so wonderful and yes so sure of his talent that he never minded . I myself didn’t know he was a vocalist .
i wouldn't listen to all the rumours flying around , i believe elvis knew who he trusted and who he didn't and thoes he didn't would have been out the door , he knew charlie and Joe from the army , they loved him and trusted him too i don't believe he was deceived by him i have watched them for many many yrs been a fan from the early 60's , do you think he would have kept them around if they did , ? elvis was very close to them all 3 were god fearing men and idolised elvis
Hello from England Charlie Hodge A great FRIEND TO ELVIS. One of the very BEST.. They were all very talented guys and this song has made me cry buckets. Sadly these great times where people like Charlie would just get on that stage and play his guitar and sing and you could hear every word is sadly now gone No horrible AUTOTUNE and you dont need to prance about on a stage For me the music industry today is so fickle
I have always loved Charlie's voice. I would listen closely to his harmony behind and with Elvis. Always right on the money! Charlie complemented the song, and sound of some of Elvis' greatest material.
That's the sign of true greatness. That Elvis surrounded himself with the very best.. There are so many guys who are too insecure or too self centered to do that. Charlie Hodge was a class act. He was also a true friend to Elvis Presley...
RIP Charlie Hodge . He finally got to hand the guitar over to someone else instead of catching it this time . lol ! Great video !! Thanks for sharing !!
Probably the best of the MM and certainly the most loyal after Elvis' death. Great voice; before he started working for Elvis he sang professionally in gospel quartets. Thanks for uploading this video.
@Maurice....😘🌹Parabéns pelo lindo vídeo Obrigada! Charlie Hodge. Esse sim, foi um verdadeiro amigo, do nosso querido ELVIS PRESLEY Que lindo cantando, que saudade!Desejo que você Charles Hodge esteja em um bom lugar, junto com o nosso querido 🌸🍃🌸Elvis Presley🍃🌸🍃🙏🏼🙏🏼

Wow he is amazing, he has a lovely voice, I've not seen this video thanks for post. There is so much stuff about Elvis and it surprising what ya can miss. He made the perfect harmony for Elvis. And I loved Charlie's laugh lol like Elvis very infectious
Поет как бог. Незаметная на первый взгляд роль в жизни Элвиса. Это настоящий музыкант и человек. Он единственный из друзей Элвиса, кто не сказал плохого слова о нём. Хотя натерпелся насмешек. Это истинный Санчо Панса в современном мире.
I have never heard Charlie Hodge sing by himself, he had a great voice. It blended so well with Elvis, he was such a loyal friend no wonder there was always Charlie’s room in Graceland.
Charly has a great voice amazing experience a Tribut of Elvis and him self he were the closest friend to Elvis together Rip🙏😢

I believe Charlie Hodge really loved Elvis like a brother. I believe this song reminds charie of Elvis Presley
He was with Elvis until the end. He lived at Graceland from 1958 to 1977. He never left Elvis. TRUE FREIND !!!. AWESOME VOICE
You can almost hear Elvis singing with Charlie the song was beautiful.
This is beautiful....I am almost in tears by the end. Thank you, Charlie Hodge for being such a good friend.

Charlie was a loyal friend and great talented vocalist / musician. R.I.P a true gentleman

Charlie was a weak, incompetent parasite.
A truly friend anybody could ever ask for, and Elvis Presley was his friend. Rest In Peace Charlie, for you are reunited with Elvis again in Heaven and his twin brother, Jesse.
I am so proud that Charlie never betrayed Elvis!!
Me too! He's about the only one who didn't.
I met him once we talked for about 20 mins about Elvis

Great man. Great Actor.. Always with Elvis.. Like a His Brother.. Was Wonderful Years.. With Great Music... ✨💜✨Also Legend... ✨💜✨
Charlie has an excellent voice and was much more than just a scarf man.
He was also Elvis' stage director. He did much more than hand scarves and water, even more than singing harmony and playing acoustic guitar. He was also the most loyal of the MM after Elvis' death--never a bad word about his friend.
abc wrong. He was trouble and Vernon knew it. Why do you think Vernon booted him from Graceland before Elvis was even buried.
Elvis never thought of him as that though.
