The world will never see the like again, an absolute amazing artist 🌎
Elvis was and always will be far, far more than just an entertainer to me. I have read, listened to, watched and researched everything I could get my hands on about him. I also belong to every Fan Club that exits and there are many. At my age (74) I have Elvis playing all day and listen to him while I sleep. I thank God for loaning Elvis to us all for the time we had him. You showed such lovely facial expressions during this video, and also your distain at hearing many of the hardships he had to endure. In my heart, which will always love and miss him, I feel that he was horribly used and abused and sad to say, by many of the people who he loved and trusted. I hope you make a deep dive into his life and then, trust me, you will love him for the incredible, beautiful soul he was. Thank you so much. You did a very good job sharing this and your thoughts. Looking forward to more from you. God bless.
His flame will never die, Elvis, our guiding light.
Elvis said an image is one thing but a human being is another.
I'm 67 and I still love him
It was very nice watching it with you, thanks for sharing your thoughts and insights with us.
Elvis was in real physical pain. I don't think any of us are in a place to judge what he did or didn't do. How much physical and psychological pain he was actually experiencing. They have discovered so much more about how ill he truly was.
He was so dear to me. I was just 15 on that sad day. I was listening to Moody Blie and How Great Thou Art at the very time of his passing. I heard the news right afterward. I cried for a week. In 2010, I finally made a trip to Graceland. I felt Elvis so strongly. I took him some flowers, I knelt and sobbed telling how much I love him. I still sob from time to time. I never met him, but I felt like I knew him. He revealed so much of his true self when he sang.
God bless him. He gave me more than I could articulate.

Strange thing in this video Joe Esposito said, he couldn’t do mouth-to-mouth resuscitation because Elvis’s mouth was closed shut. But in another interview from a few years prior he said, he gave mouth to mouth resuscitation, he was trying to revive Elvis while waiting for the fire department to show up. Through the years Joe and some people who were there stories changed about Elvis death...it is sad that many took advantage of his kindness. Elvis was beautiful inside out. I love him forever ❤
Lovely to see you again and your wonderful Elvis reactions ❤
Sometimes I don’t feel like most of those guys had Elvis best intentions at heart. Now you need to watch Sally Hoedels interview about her research about Elvis’ health and how it all connects onto why Elvis needed medication.
I have the book and just started reading it. I have heard great things about it.😢 I know Elvis got himself into the money problem because he couldn't say no to anyone in need. Those Memphis mafia got cars, houses, paid vacations, it goes on and one. He was such a giving person and he never told anyone about the operations, wheelchairs, prisoners he visited and found out if they were married and how many kids they had and for Christmas every child had a present and a tree delivered to the house and a check given to the wife and had them check up on thru the year to make sure the rent or food or whatever the need until the father was released from jail. This man was just a human and had his faults but his voice showed how he felt inside. Elvis will never die. Elvis favorite scripture in the Bibke was "What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, but lose his soul." I have heard him say this on more than one interview.
It didn't help that his ex-wife kept going back for more divorce money even though Elvis gave her everything she wanted...
I just started reading that book as well, Destined To Die Young, its very good so far and very informative.
I've seen this many times and it still breaks my heart! Elvis was plunged into fame so quickly! He had lots of pressure on him! No artist today could keep the schedule Elvis did! Show after show, recording albums at the same time! He felt responsible to take care of his mafia and their families and had to keep working! Not much help for addiction back then! Just saying "stop" to someone with an addiction is not going to work! Elvis also had health issues and pain caused by a mega colon, so he ft he needed the meds! It's just soooo sad! 😢😢😢
Well said.... He brought so much happiness to his fans ... But like a minister shared on his show a few months ago, that Elvis wanted to meet him, even though he didn't say what year. He shared that " Elvis was so kind, famous , handsome but was one of the loneliest person he had ever met" That seems to sum up his life. Sure do miss him 💕
At the end of the video, you spoke so beautifully about the pressures that were on Elvis and he tried so hard to live up to everything everyone thought he was, and he never wanted to let anybody down❤
Such a sad day and he will never be forgotten, that's for sure. Just watching this makes me tear up.
Thank you for reacting to this video about Elvis. I watch all of your reactions on him and they are spot on!
Thank you for your understanding ... TCB forever !
Elvis was Christian at the core but he was SPIRITUAL THROUGH AND THROUGH. Christians can learn from him. He loved God.
Very well said! 👍
Amen ❤🙏🏻
❤ well done from a longtime Elvis lover..
Great words from you at the end of this video. He sure left a mark on us who loved him. I become a fan when I was 6..now I am 69. Still love this guy.
What a beautiful reaction!! Thank you so much, you really see it and feel it.. you are very insightful.🤩😍❤❤
Elvis was his meal ticket
Elvis was an annointed gift to us. That's a lot of pressure to be bestowed on one man. Just TCB was his motto because he was selfless! ❤
Thank you for sharing this documentary with us. I saw it three times now, and it touched me everytime. I am a german Elvis fan since the year Elvis died in 1977. I was 9 years old and explored Elvis on a german radio show that´s called International Hitparade. Elvis with his last hit Way Down. I´ve heard his voice for the first time, not knowing who he is. But I´ve known emmediately that this man is special. Than I saw a picture of him, boom, I adored him; I was a fan till today and for the rest of my life and beyond. As a german I can answer your question what Sauerkraut is. It is fermented white cabbage. It´s part of a german traditional meal. The entire meal is known as pork knuckle with sauerkraut. Elvis probably known it from his time in Germany, when he was in service here. In adddition that´s the reason why the english soldiers back in worldwar two called us Germans Krauts, maybe they still do it, I don´t know.
What a sweet post 💞
@@JoAnnKlingaman-iu4lm Thank you, that's very nice🤗
Looooooooooooveeeed your reaction. It was spot on ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your reaction. I believe you understand what Elvis was going through and those that were around him really didn’t have have his best interest. And used him
Thank you, going to watch it again ❤
A beautiful and sincere commentary. Thank You.
Sweety, Sauerkraut is a German dish made with cabbage. I absolutely Love your reaction! And I agree with you!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤! His Legend will never die!! He was and still is the Greatest Entertainer of all Time!!
Very thoughtful reaction. To add to your comments, there was no real addiction treatment available in Elvis's lifetime.
Thank you for reacting to this
You spoke the truth…thank you
I read that Larry Gellar will be a guest this summer for Elvis week 2024. Would love to meet & hear his stories 😊
SUPER BRILLIANT ANALYSIS! YOU ARE A GREAT THINKER AND SENSITIVE PERSON TO GIVE SUCH A WISE AND TRUTHFUL ANALYSIS.
Thank you very much!💚☀️
i was three when he died. it broke my little heart. my mama said i just cried for weeks. if i heard elvis in the car my mom looks over and tears just soaking my face.
You are amazing and spot on with what happed to Elvis and what youvsaid about us to be best we can be with people around us thank you for doing that clip now i kniw what happened in the end i hopevhe is happy where he is
Thoughtful comments from you as always, Kings. ❤
Thank you this was very emotional 🌷
Couldn't ask for a better conclusion than what Kings003 gave on this.
I read that Elvis once said to his girlfriend Linda Thompson, “People don’t really know the real me, they know/love the image, I’m like that street out there, you cut me, and I bleed”. I believe he was trying to convey he was human and a real person with real feelings/issues. Great Reaction! Elvis Rocks! TCB⚡️
Elvis will live forever in the world. His echo will never die. I wish his close friends wouldn't say private things about him. No one wants their private moments put out there. He did so much for so many. I think his father, Dr and manager were the ones who coukd have saved him but chose not too
Seen this so many times, but enjoyed watching with you. As always ... Love your talk afterwards. You're so on point!! Elvis had a lot of health issues. His colon, his heart, lungs and eyes. He was in so much pain, but NEVER disappointed his fans. His love for us plus everyone around him. I will keep my opinions to myself that are negative about some of the men in this video. I can send you a link or look up the day Elvis died. You can hear radio stations, TV, and how the world stopped. All the thousands of people who crowded the streets outside of Graceland. It's unbelievable. ❤❤ Thank you for this. God bless TBC ⚡👑😇💔
Well said 👏👏
Loved this watch along and your reaction to it, thank you.
One thing though that always bugged me was, those guys did exactly what Elvis did.
They all lived to excess.
Joe says they were young so they could do it..
But elvis died at 42, and they lived long lives..
I recently read Sally Hoedel's book Destined to Die Young, and it all made sense.
There are a lot of interveiws with Sally here on UA-cam.
You should find a video with Sally and do a watch along to that.
Here is a great interview with Sally, its only a short one. But its full of information.
ua-cam.com/video/vMn3NVw602A/v-deo.htmlsi=Bhpo4rPhY-0cNRXy
Please do his Post Army interview Graceland 1960. See him actually talking. I hate this documentary because so much info has come out about his health. Besides some of guys had an axe to grind, some were fired before he died. Some were jealous. Some were bitter. Elvis was born sick and had little medical attention because of poverty. He lost his twin at birth and had the Alpha 1 gene. His mothers parents were first cousins. They all inherited the same illnesses, heart disease, liver disease and lung problem. In 1969 Elvis developed early onset glaucoma and had emergency surgery to save his right eye. He died at 42, his mother died at 46 and her two brothers died in their 40's. This is documented in the book by Sally Hoedel, "Elvis Presley Destined to Die Young". Had he never taken a drug he would have still died in his 40's. The Las 3 years of his life he took pain killers because he had pain, in his lungs and used an inhaler before singing, he had two small heart attacks, in 75 as Larry Yelled his hair dresser said he had a heart attack , right in front of him and wouldn't let him call a doctor. He also told backup singer Kathy Westmoreland that he would be died by 40. The mafia, jockied for his attention, and I blame to of them for his sadness when they were let go by Vernon, wrote a hateful book about him. His daughter Lisa Marie, called them slithering bastards. He had given them homes cars, and much of what they had. I'm sorry but this is throwing dirt by the very people he loved.
Mary..... Great comments & stories I've also heard. Too bad the MSM doesn't report this but sadly they won't ...
Boy! I agree with you. You said what I was thinking while watching this. I have the book by Sally Hodel and just started reading it. Burned me to watch Sonny West crying.
This man was sick and still trying to do his concerts to pay for the cars, houses, jewelry, vacations, the list goes on and on. How much fun they had, fun, fun, fun. And who paid for the fun? Sorry, I vented.
Who is Sally hoedel? Did she know Elvis?
I have to add a huge thank you for your observations on his situation which are bang on. You see things as I do.
Great 🙂
Great reaction❤
Please react to Elvis 56’
Der Moderator hat es gut erkannt, Elvis wurde von allen als Geldmaschine gesehen, einem Süchtigen muss geholfen werden, es fehlte die Menschlichkeit.😢😢❤❤
✌🏼
I just can’t comment right now, too much going through my mind. Maybe I’ll come back. But thank you for the video.
Linda Thompson, Elvis GF once said that Elvis told her that he got saved at aged 9 through Jesus Christ. That right there, gave me the confirmation that Elvis is surely in Heaven as I write this.
Elvis was born with some ailments and the pain got worse . These interviews are old. We found out so much more since then. The man died from a heart attack. Most of the doctors think that he would have died with or without the drugs
Hi there..If you're interested there's a wonderful woman who wrote an excellent book called Destined To Die Young. It's a great read but she's on UA-cam doing interviews about what really happened to him and why. I think you would love it because of the excellent research she did and how she found the medical info that we have now that they didn't have then. It's absolutely amazing and we find out how very sick he really was..
Just thought you might wanna check it out...Thanks 👍✌️
Elvis was kind of a slave to his manager Colonel Tom Parker. During his life, Elvis never knew that Parker was actually an illegal immigrant from The Netherlands, Andreas van Kuijck, who had assumed a whole new identity in the US and had somehow managed to become a succesful manager of several country and western artists. Once he saw what effect young Elvis, locally, had on his audiences, "Parker" latched on to Elvis and indeed, made him big, but at a tremendous price (literally and figuratively). Because Parker was afraid to let Elvis tour outside the USA without him, and because he - as an illegal immigrant - feared he would not be able to return to the US if he'd accompany Elvis on foreign tours, he made up all kinds of lies to prevent Elvis from touring outside the US. Despite that, Elvis - also in a weird way thanks to Parker - became a worldwide phenomenon and idol because he was the whole package: fantastic singer and performer and a star in over 30 movies (most of which were quite bad, but this was of course a great vehicle to let Elvis be seen across the globe). Elvis outrageously good looks did not hurt, either. Elvis was probably the first artist whose worldwide audiences traveled to the US to see him live. The Hawaii concert was the first concert that was beamed across the globe by satellite and was viewed by 1.5 BILLION people.
Elvis got addicted in the army because the brass was afraid Elvis (and other soldiers who had to stand guard in the icy German winters) might fall asleep on watch in the freezing temperatures, so he got his first uppers while serving in the US army. It snowballed after that when he was back in civilian life and showbiz.
He had a doctor in every state (and even several cities per state) who would provide him with all the prescription medication he wanted to have and later needed to sort of function. Such a waste of such a fine specimen.
He died at 42, but the state of his body/organs was that of an 80-year-old. Very sad. Elvis would sometimes cause an injury or wound to himself to get certain prescription drugs. He had medical books that described all kinds of medications, which to combine with which etc. that he almost knew by heart; he'd made a whole study of it.
He did have a genetic link to heart disease, but he undermined and damaged his health by over using prescription drugs for ailments he did not have, thereby causing real medical issues like a blocked colon, hypertension etc. His intestines had been leaking into his abdomen for some considerable time. He wasn't just constipated, his intestines did not work normally anymore because of the massive amounts of prescription drugs he had been abusing for decades. The placebo intervention by Dr Nick was too little, too late. ua-cam.com/video/hRqzwJJyJkg/v-deo.html
As far as I know, there weren't any real rehab centers as we know them today, back then. His immediate circle of family, friends and employees were all afraid and too uneducated (and probably selfish, not wanting to lose their meal ticket, although very short sighted because that attitude killed their meal ticket prematurely) to do something about it.
Elvis' finances were in the toilet at the time of his death. The colonel got 50% of what Elvis earned and all personnel was paid out of Elvis' 50%. Add to that that Elvis was way too generous, even to strangers, and there you have it. Also: people usually criticize the bodyguards who wrote the book Elvis What Happened? But they should also realize that Joe Esposito was a big enabler (and covered up the scene after Elvis' death. He has told at least 3 versions of what happened that fateful day) and Jerry Schilling is totally in Priscilla's pocket (which means going along with falsification of many Elvis facts to suit her storyline; they basically rewrote Elvis history on several points).
Read the truth, "Elvis Presley Destined to Die Young" by Sally Hodel. His mothers parents were first cousins that produced the Alpha 1 gene, which means he would have died in the 40's just like his mother and her two brothers. All of the same thing. Be open to new evidence.
Great great comment 👏👏👏👏
A few of them wrote a book about exposing his drug use and that lead to his decline as well. He felt betrayed and was nervous about what his fans would think of him after the book.
U should react to another elvis documentary called All the kings men , that’s a great interview for u to react to mate hope u see this u will love it yet again called All the kings men elvis 💪🏽🏴😊
This is always so hard to watch.. Elvis was a spiritual man always searching for God, always reading on every Religion all his life..Asking God what really was his purpose here..He said there had to be a bigger purpose?? He always said " No one knows the real Elvis they just know the performer." He's gone so many years n it's always hard..Thank u so much for the understanding of thi man..
I didn't want to watch this because I know how those "friends" blamed him but as sad as it was it was worth it to listen to your genuine, compassionate reaction thank you. Now watch some interviews with the man himself 😊
Elvis got into a bit of a mess towards the end no doubt. But those Memphis mafia that were with Elvis turned against him as well ,they weren't as accurate as they came across. There was a lot of money made by varies things like books that came out from those guys as well. His Doctor didn't help much either.
The women loved him the men wanted to be him ❤
Sauerkraut is German. It's basically finely cut raw cabbage that has a long shelf life due to the fermentation process. It's really good.
And very healthy!! Like Kimchi.
You should read the book Destin to die young. It will explain lots about his medical condition. He was very sick.
Elvis had so much wrong with him. He had heart disease, glaucoma . His eyes hurt him so bad especially during the concerts with those lights in his eyes ❤😢
he was prescribed uppers to perform downers to sleep. everything he took was dictated to the guy and his only mistake was trusting his manager and his doctors
I am sure that there was more to his drug addiction other than recreational as told in the interview the uppers were mostly for his lifestyle but many of the drugs were prescribed for his many health conditions which caused him pain.
I wonder why they played an Elvis impersonator singing American Trilogy at the end, and not Elvis.
Copyright restrictions I’d say. It would have cost too much.
To understand this whole thing a little more I would recommend reading a book called destined to die young. It explains the situation a lot more clearly. Elvis was born with a lot of genetic problems which were passed down from generations before. As mentioned he was a Very proud man and a lot of the guys around him did not know the extent of how I'll he actually was as he kept it to himself. Unfortunately he was a ticking time bomb and the argument in that book is had he had a normal lifestyle,he might not have lived much longer than 42 anyway. Of course medicine has improved so much that if it were today many of these conditions could be managed more effectively. It's just a very sad story and end for a man that gave so much pleasure to so many through his music ,kindness and generosity. He deserved better than the hand he was dealt.
I never understood how his was gray . He was going back on the road that day so I think that his hair would have been done the day before
I don't believe being smart, knowing what you're doing & denying it is conflicting. In Elvis' case I think he was saying I know what I'm doing & it's ok, I'll be fine. He was denying that he had a problem, i.e., any person who is an alcoholic, gambler, drug user denies they have a problem, even to themselves; you always here this type of person say "I'll be fine, it's ok." They are denying the problem to themselves & to everyone else. And that has nothing to do w-smarts. A brilliant person can be caught up in that type of situation but deny they are addicted because if they face it then they have to do something about it.
Regarding the "draw" & effect that Elvis had: sometimes I wonder if he had everything, the voice, great performer, etc., but NOT the looks, would that have made it less likely for him to have had that "pull" on people. We are drawn to pretty & nice looking people & things -- a pretty house, a beautiful car, a beautiful woman, handsome man. We're pulled in by prettiness. AND we tend to forgive the pretty people. A commentator below said "saw a picture of him, boom, I adored him." Maybe things for Elvis would have been different if he were not so gorgeous.
He wasn’t being managed he was mismanaged for someone else’s greed.
great insight on your part
Sour kraut is actually good for you
Elvis wasn't well. And I'm not talking about the pills. There's a book "Destined to die young" about Elvis. That shows Elvis really wasn't well. And so many in his family has died at young age. Many from his mother Gladys side. Gladys parents where 1 cousins. So all bad genes where doubled up through that too.
It saddens me to hear some of them just say he liked to be high on pills. When they also where on the same pills and could leave whenever they wanted. But didn't. Wonder why that is? Right! And also, won't say any names, but some where reporting directly to The Col. So did they "work" for Elvis or The Col? And all of them has benefited their whole life's with so called tell it all Elvis books.
Elvis benefited them alive and after he passed. The amount written about him is astonishing. And he cannot defend himself. Find that very very disturbing.
Jerry Schilling has been in my opinion a nice friend and has a very good book "Me and a Guy Named Elvis" and he helped Lisa Marie getting a job when she asked him. He was at the Hospital when she was born. And sadly when she passed too. I hope he still has the strength to be a support to Lisa's daughters. Especially Riley Keough.
There's an interview on UA-cam when Elvis met Nixon. Jerry is there and so are the men working at The White House at the time. Well worth watching.
Not bashing or glorifying any of Elvis friends. But to say he loved being high on pills is unfair.
The schedule he had on his shows was inhumane. No one can do that. But he had a payroll. And felt responsible for that + what he "owed" The Col.
He would had owed nothing if he took that to court. But he was too loyal.
Course all have positive and negative sides. No doubt.
But think we all that knows about Elvis, can say that his positive sides were outstanding.
Generous, kind, caring and loving.
"A Generous Heart" is another UA-cam video about Elvis. I'd recommend to see the whole version.
With that said, Maybe they did their best? I dunno?
But don't put all on Elvis. He gave all he had. And he loved his fans. And we fans will ALWAYS love him ❤
His Dr. , DR Nick lost his medical license and it came out later he was over prescribing pills for other stars and peole
Parker worked Elvis to death
Colonel Parker killed Elvis indirectly
Love your reaction to this video but I would not trust much majority so called Elvis " friends ". None of them except one mention reason why he was on so many drugs in the first place. Elvis had so many health problems from the very young age, that become worse and worse as he got older So,it's very easy to judge someone, especially if that person is no longer with us. There is Elvis song that's says " Walk a mile in my shoes before you abuse, criticize and accuse "
I have seen this I hate it will bow out now...I sickens me you need to watch the jd summer interview it refutes this! Was he addicted to pain pills yes! Read destined to dye young...it is a must...it makes me sick that people now an then trash him still want to make money off him!
Parts of this doco have aged very badly, the Narrator is peddling a lot of the same old shit fed by disgruntled members of the MM (who were fired by Elvis). Elvis was very ill with genetic illnesses, he'd been sick since he was a kid. His medical records from the criminal trial of Dr Nick in the 1980's prove this. I do not listen to a word from Red or Lamar talking badly, who are featured heavily in this, as after they were fired they were always talking trash, coming from a place of bitterness. However, I will listen to Billy, Larry, Jerry, Charlie, Sam.
He needed is gambling money
The narrator is awful on this......Elvis no longer had a huge following ??....as decades change new music and artists come around and take center stage but Elvis always had his following and that's how he was able to tour to sell out shows....his excesses were probably no different and probably alot less than many of the big artists in the 70s. .. he liked his food, no doubt, his drugs were prescription ( which he did self medicate and abuse) as apposed to hard drugs like coke which he didn't do and sex was on offer but Elvis just liked female company and this is portraying it like a mass of orgies.....the 2 main issues with Elvis in the 70s were his health and Parker. His health issues can be traced back to when he was young. Some were hereditary and probably some undetected at the time. He obviously didn't help himself with his food choices and he also thought he could solve his issues with the prescription drugs, of which there were plenty of Doctors who were willing to give to him...Parker worked his prized possession to death....he made more money than Elvis with his dealings and so had a strangle hold and a reliance on Elvis financially but worst of all he restricted Elvis artistically and for someone like Elvis that was a death sentence because he became bored with routine...he needed challenges and if he had had a real manager rather than a promotor ( which Parker was) then who knows what might of happened.
Pickled cabbage.
ELVIS wore the "STAR OF DAVID" on his chest, his great grandmother was full Jewish...
I think ELVIS had Blood Cancer,,,
He didn't have blood cancer
Some of the people around him claimed Elvis confided in them having bone cancer. Hes not here to defend himself so who knows 🤷🏻♀️
Elvis admitted to his wife, he had a self-destructive personality. He was a highly intelligent human, apart from his immense talent. 🥃 His star burnt so bright, its light was fleeting. Sadly.
they started him on amphetamine in the army...
