Yvonne Trott look up Pastor Bob Joyce. He is alive and well and living under that name since he had to fake his death to get away from the bad people and keep his family safe. Lisa has always had her daddy! Priscilla never remarried. Because they are still honoring their vows from 55 years ago! Research and you'll find everything you're looking for! Happy findings...
Voice,talent,charisma,personality..not to mention the humbleness and simplicity...there never was,and never will ever be someone like Elvis in this entertainment world.
This song, lyrics and the artist I dearly devote to my dear mother that past away last year! She was one of my best friends! She also loved Elvis voice, music and lyrics very much! I was 13 when he past away, much to soon! Hug Maria
Elvis didn't have to write songs, songwriters are all over him writing songs for him, his massive talent for your info, aside from beautifully blended of voice, he had this amazing interpretation of song w/ passion & emotion, he enlivened every song he sang, he arranged the songs, he orchestrated to his standards. He was everything as an entertainer. If you hear & watch they way he sang those selected 100s of songs, you will understand.
Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Fats Domino, Pat Boone, Jerry Lee Lewis, the list goes on, were all amazing. Elvis, however, was just in the right place at the right time. His music was rebellious, loud and dangerous for its time and, he was bloody gorgeous. The females loved him and the adults resented him, that's why he was so loved. Also, Elvis' vocal range far surpassed anything the people mentioned above could sing. To go from Jailhouse Rock to Crying In The Chapel to Gospel is astounding.
Great pictures...my daughter had a crib like that in 1968 . Lisa was born 6mos. before my daughter. I can't believe our girls are 50 now. Thank you for posting this song & pictures.
YOU ARE SO RIGHT, ELVIS DID NOT NEED TO WRITE HIS MUSIC. MOST ENTERTAINERS IN THE 50'S,60'S AND EARLY DID NOT WRITE THEIR OWN MUSIC. THAT'S WHAT SONWRITERS WERE FOR !!! HE WAS A MASTER AT ARRANGING , ORCHESTRATING AND RECORDING HIS MUSIC TO HIS EXACTING STANDARDS.! LISTEN TO THE WORDS IN HIS SONGS, THE EMOTIONS AND HEARTFELT WAY HE SANG THEM, IF HE DIDN'T FEEL THE SONG HE DIDN'T RECORD IT. !!!!
I know I am, my father used to tell me, if I leaned my lessons at school the way I learn the words to Elvis songs, I would be top of the school, lol I could not argue, it was so true.
See, I don't see why people don't think he had a normal life style like us. Maybe not all the time sure. But most of the time he seemed like he had a normal life. He loved those two girls a lot. They where his life. And people don't see it as a normal life style because he was very famous. It doesn't mean famous people can't live normal lives if they wanted to. They are people too you know, just well known people now.
He wanted, and thought he could have, both lives: a family life with good, little wifey not asking any questions AND his bachelor life, HE couldn't, as he eventually found out.
PS bottom line ? Elvis was famous not because of his voice but because he was the BRIDGE he brought ALL people together he mixed it up and his coffee coloured style and sound connected to ALL and he knew (as most people know) that MUSIC doesn't have a racial, religious, nor political affiliation Music just IS and so was Elvis !
Elvis express his heart and soul to the public about his entire life story. Finally he understood how his wife feels but it’s to late. It’s to late my beloved Elvis. RIP my love. We all still love you. Including your wife and daughter. Plus grandchildren.
Beautiful, I wished cilla would have stayed with him ,but she grew up I guess she wanted freedom to be her own person, wonder if when she found it did she have regrets leaving the King
Mama T's world I personally think she did have regrets think Elvis did too , don't think there are are many people who as they get older think differently as they did do as when they were young hind sight is a wonderful thing if only
Lindo o Ovídio. Te/ que fazer um exame de dona nesta filha do leves porque a mãe quando moi com elves sai com todos que vivia na casa enquanto o elves estava trabalhando
Too bad Elvis couldn't have gotten into a detox program, hired a vegan chef and lived a fulfilling life, one which included balanced nutrition and regular exercise. He succumbed to drugs, Southern comfort food and the ravages of non-diagnosed depression. So sad. I have always loved him and would have liked to to have told him so. More importantly, I would have made it clear that my love for him was unconditional and that I expected nothing in return. Parasites just took advantage of his innate goodness and generosity.
Lisa Brooks he's alive and preaching the good word of the Lord at his new church in Benton Arkansas! He spends time with Lisa and the kids all the time! He lived at Graceland for about 10 years and that's where the Elvis ghost stories came from! He is doing what he's always wanted to do at age 85...
PS maybe Elvis didn't know about Otis financial situation I'm sure if he did he would've helped him BIG TIME Elvis Presley grew up in a poverty stricken environment he was a shy lonely kid He publicly said he hung out mostly with the black folks in his area because they accepted him and he credited them for his inspiration for music & for teaching him to sing Elvis was not a racist I'm sure those black people who exposed him to their sound and style were very proud of their student.by default !
Now that's a thing I'm realy tired of hearing. Elvis is not labeled as "Elvis Presley: Singer/Songwriter," he was "Elvis Presley: Singer." If Elvis had claimed that he wrote songs, then yes, I would be annoyed but did he? No, never. And to be honest, I couldn't give a damn whether I did or not. I love the man and I love his music. End of story, mhm?
I stand corrected Debbie. just read BDSaysHi comment. I'm speechless!! Well I could say a few things, quite a few, but i think you've said it all for me. I don't know why that person is on their "high Horse" so to speak. Doesn't sound like they really know what they are talking about. i've known Elvis since 1954 and some of his family. This person is just running off at the mouth about things they know nothing of, except maybe from the trashy media papers.
I miss. Hearing Matt brown from the Alaskan Bush. People s. His music ....so. Devine. Awesome...Matt when are you coming back on live TV. To be with your awesome family...the brown s.........soon we hope to see you... God bless you. Have a great evening..... Your biggest fan. Here in texas
Talvez Elvis, não fosse suportar vendo essas duas acabando com tudo o que ele sofreu, e pagou preço pra possuir...O que essa Priscilla fez com essa filha...?
The ad that is shown before this shows a whiny woman complaining about excess fat after losing 40 pounds. I lost 160 pounds by going Vegan and EXERCISING! No flabby skin here! Don’t buy cream for crepey skin....it won’t work. Exercise and a way of life-NOT a diet WILL WORK! Would she like some cheese with her whine? 🤣 🧀 🍷
Whoa! Deb, !! You gotta burr under your saddle or something? What's the matter, you got PMS? I don't know what BDSaysHi said but it must have been bad. But for sure we don't want anyone badmouthing Elvis.right?
je ne suis pas d'accord lorsque l'on dit la veuve de Monsieur Presley Elvis , ils ont divorcés , elle est l'ex femme de Monsieur Presley même si nous les aimons énormément, en France lorsqu'un couple divorce c'est mon ex Mari ,mon ex Femme,( son ex Mari est décédé .) ou bien le père de ma Fille Lisa Marie je sais que cela va déplaire mais c'est comme cela
I was raised to think if anyone, Bill Hailey was the king of rock, because Rock Around the Clock is the signature tune of the genre, and was introduced in the first rock movie ever, i.e; Blackboard Jungle. Don McLean also wrote American Pie about Buddy Holly. There were so many other pioneers and originators who were so profound, and influential, it seems almost a crime to worship Elvis as if he is some kind of god, considering the man never actually wrote a single song!
pps Btw .."Gene Vincent, Buddy Holly , Chuck Berry, Bill Hailey and Little Richard" (to name a few ) ALL had very successful careers In other words ? cut the crap ! No one has a copyright on music MUSIC is about bring people together not DIVIDING them .(Presley did a great job he sent that message out loud and clear and paved the way for all who came after him EG : M&M (shit another white boy who stole the black sound HOW TRAGIC when oh when will all this unity end ?) I hope NEVER (bit by bit)
What a stupid, stupid man Evis was,,,,,,, he lost all that was really important to him, after his music: he could have had both AND been happy. Maybe even a son ,,,,,,, Priscilla couldn't raise her daughter like that, Brave, brave lady, I really admire her strength,because she loved Elvis so much and he hurt her so badly,
CECI CEO Priscilla from what I’ve just watched she was a spoilt little brat what she wants is what she gets her mother an farther had no control over her what so ever every young girl all over the world was in love with Elvis just he picked her she new what she was doing when she married him took him for everything an still is to this day one sided story if only elvis was here to put his side RIP dear Elvis
@ZEITGEIST @ZEITGEISTism Why would super-talented song writers like Otis Blackwell or Arthur Crudup need anybody to hold their hand? They were the ones with all the talent, ffs! Why do they need this big white "mazza", Elvis Presley to hold their hands and escort them into the music industry! They WERE the music industry, like Michael Jackson said at Harlem, but they were flushed out and subsumed by the "system", which is fundamentally biased toward white, sanatised, guitar rock
I agree with just about everything you have said, but none of it justifies Elvis being lauded as a "king" above all others, or the way people speak about "Graceland" as if it is some kind of spiritual home or royal dominion. The Presleys are not real royalty, "king" is just a metaphorical title, it is widely open to subjectivity!
@MrElvis96 No he did not claim to be a songwriter, but just like is implicit in Descarte's ontological argument that the concept of "god" must necessarily contain the concept of existence, surely, if you are going to posit a singer as "the king of rock and roll" it must imply at least some measure of songwriting ability? Elvis Presley had none!
PRESLEY KNOWS THIS, SHE KNOWS IT WELL, BUT SAYING THE NAME "MICHAEL JACKSON" IS LIKE A MAGIC CHARM, EVEN SAYING "ELVIS" WON'T GET HER THE SAME LEVERAGE. SAYING MICHAEL'S NAME GETS HER ON TV, INTO MAGAZINES, AND SHE HAS EVEN EXPLOITED HIS NAME TO HELP HER LAUNCH HER NO-GOOD, TONE-DEAF CAREER. EVEN I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ELVIS HAD A SINGING VOICE, BUT HIS DAUGHTER CAN NOT SING FOR SHIT AND SHE UNETHICALLY EXPLOITS MICHAEL JACKSON'S NAME AT EVERY TURN AND ERRONEOUSLY CLAIMS TO BE HIS EX "WIFE" - A LIE!
Listen, it's no skin of someone like Elvis Presley's nose to say he liked black people - what has he got to lose? But people who were close to him have said in interviews that he did not approve of, amongst other things, mixed marriages. That sounds like a bigot to me - or worse! Many people have cited Elvis as a racist, he may not have been a serious racist but he was still bigoted enough to attract a lot of hatred from people who feel he manipulated and stole the music of black originators.
@ZEITGEISTism You think Michael Jackson needed anybody to hold his hand when he broke through for black artists on MTV? No, of course not! Black artists are more than capable of paving their own way in music, rock and roll is their music ANYWAY, so nobody needs a day nurse or a nanny, that is just racist bullshit to excuse the fact that no black man will ever be called the king of rock; not Chuck Berry, not Little Richard, not even an Hispanic like Richie Valens.
@ZEITGEISTism Well you're onbviously a strong Elvis fan which is fair enough, I can see his fans are very dedicated and I respect that, but sorry, your understanding of social politics and the music industry is all ass-up and takes conveniently from most commonly used propaganda lines. Let's just clear one thing up - Elvis did not "pave the way" for black artists; he replaced black artists!
@ZEITGEISTism It's like if I paint some great artwork; I invent the brush-strokes, I pioneer the entire genre, then someone else comes along and gets rich and famous out of it, and I am told they did me a "favour" because they stole my style and I died penniless! It is a ridiculous concept and one that has been conveniently used by racists time and time again.
Not only did Elvis and his washed out, boring, pseudo rock obscure the talent of god knows how many black artists, but he also stomped all over the real white rockabillies too, the good ol' boys of the true medium, like Bill Hailey and Buddy Holly. These guys shit all over Elvis, Holly wrote and produced all his own material, but Elvis is the love-child of John Wayne and J Edgar Hoover, so they glorified him above all other rockers.
Lost my mother at 6, my father carried me and 3 brothers on his own, so this song means a great deal to me, awsome song, and awsome parents. TY
Mí bello Elvis maravilloso 😍🤩😍 que bonitas fotos que bonitas mi bello Elvis
what a beautiful looking man he was .just a true humble person and the voice to match

She is all him

Of course, but she was a strong, strong woman and Elvis just didn't believe she'd walk away from all he thought he had,
Lindo o Ovídio. Te/ que fazer um exame de dona nesta filha do leves porque a mãe quando moi com elves sai com todos que vivia na casa enquanto o elves estava trabalhando
She is now alone. All men left Her old and ugly
yep...he sure was beautiful...sigh...
I don't think Priscilla realized how much he really really loved her
Vivean Aragon 7th
HE didn't show her until it was too late,
Elvis was forced to marry her, all the bodyguards said he didn't want to!!
Yeah cheating on her definitely showed the love
It's so sad
But I hope she regrets everything she took from him even today keeping his last name.
meu sonho conhecer; pelome nos a casa de elvis presley mais e so um sonho,sonhar não e pecado não

if he loved her that much he would have been faithful she was a mother figure to him and uses his name for money

How do you know what he saw Priscilla as could you read his mind . I suppose you read some trash somewhere

They WERE the music industry, like Michael Jackson said at Harlem, but they were flushed out and subsumed by the "system", which is fundamentally biased toward white, sanatised, guitar rock
I agree with just about everything you have said, but none of it justifies Elvis being lauded as a "king" above all others, or the way people speak about "Graceland" as if it is some kind of spiritual home or royal dominion. The Presleys are not real royalty, "king" is just a metaphorical title, it is widely open to subjectivity!

Elvis Presley had none!
You're trying to use too big a vocabulary for yourself and it makes you sound really STUPID ........
PRESLEY KNOWS THIS, SHE KNOWS IT WELL, BUT SAYING THE NAME "MICHAEL JACKSON" IS LIKE A MAGIC CHARM, EVEN SAYING "ELVIS" WON'T GET HER THE SAME LEVERAGE. SAYING MICHAEL'S NAME GETS HER ON TV, INTO MAGAZINES, AND SHE HAS EVEN EXPLOITED HIS NAME TO HELP HER LAUNCH HER NO-GOOD, TONE-DEAF CAREER.
