    My Mother took my brother and I to see Elvis at Kiel Auditorium on March 29, 1957. He wore that beautiful gold lamé suit. He was so sparkly ☺️ to see but we only heard a few bars of every song because of all the screaming... ✨️ Great memory, I still have my half ticket stub.💛

      Same! When I first saw him, I was a lil unimpressed. Cause he doesn’t really look like Elvis, being a natural blonde. I honestly thought Zac Efron would be a good Elvis, as he has the look, and he can sing and dance. But I was very happily surprised by how well he melted into the role.
      He even had trouble remembering his real voice after! It’s crazy how much he embodied Elvis… just don’t ever cast him as The Joker!

    I saw Elvis on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1956 when I was a little girl. I had a big sister who wanted to watch it. Much later in 1976, I saw Elvis live in concert a year before he died. He still had the voice. He couldn’t quite reach the top of the crescendos, but it didn’t matter. Once, my dad came into the room while my sister and I were listening to music. He said, “You should be listening to this beautiful music instead of that Elvis.” We burst out laughing. Of course, it was Elvis singing “Blue Hawaii.”

      I remember a concert on TV in the early 70's broadcasted on TV and it was in Hawaii. I was a young boy, but the one thing I remember was (my Mom and Sister were watching it) at one point Elvis throws the cape of the outfit he was wearing out into the audience and my Mom and Sister said "there's no way that cape is getting out of there in one piece." They both believed the fans would literally tear it apart to have a piece of fabric that Elvis wore. Well, I Googled it this morning and apparently a man caught it and he managed to get it out of the show in one piece. He sold it to another man for $3,250 and when the man that bought it died, he wrote in his will to give the cape to Graceland. Graceland has had it for years until they put it up for auction. I thought I read that it alone sold for a little over one million dollars and the suit Elvis wore sold for about the same price. So somebody has it. It's referred to as a piece of music history as their was an estimate of over 1 Billion (with a B) people around the globe that watched that live concert in Hawaii where he threw that cape into the crowd that I remember both my Mom and Sister (both have passed away) commented on. A memory I cherish - and as I've learned more and more about Elvis through the years, that moment he created for my Mom, Sister, and myself is just one of the many good things Elvis brought to people around the world. It seems he was just too much for this world to contain.

    I remember Tom Hanks appearing on David Letterman's final show for NBC waaaaay back in 1992, promoting Sleepless in Seattle, shortly before he busted out with Philadelphia and Forrest Gump. In that appearance, he said that if there was an Elvis Presley movie on TV on Saturday afternoons, he (Hanks) would be home watching it. And now here Tom is playing the man who managed Elvis's career! Funny how life works out sometimes.

    My mother told me all about how she loved Elvis growing up, when I was 17 I watched a 2003 mini series with her & asked if it was really Elvis singing when she said yes, I borrowed her Elvis Greatest Hits, and when he spoke during "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" I fell as hard for him as she did in 1956, and a short while after that my 4 year old heard & saw Elvis, falling for him the same as we did so we began to fight over which one of us loved him the most.
    It was funny for the rest of our family but 3 generations, a 56 year old, 17 year old, and 4 year old loved him at the same time. Recently, my cousin's 15 year old daughter talked about how much she loves Elvis. This is an artist who is truly timeless in a way no one else was, is, or ever will be or an artist who did and still does connect to his fans unlike anyone else by making every single person listening to one of his songs feel like he is singing to only them and no on else.
    So no, what his fans of when he was alive and all of his fans after his death, don't love him just because of his wiggle.

      ​@@AC-mp7cx I'm sick of MJ stans that have nothing better to do than fuel this useless competition that are pointless because you lot think that Michael Jackson means anything to Elvis fans. Also, MJ followed in Elvis's footsteps and Elvis is still a game changer, an innovator, a beloved singer who is beloved by millions regardless of seeing him live, hearing about him from their mother who lived during his times, or finding him via social media because he's a voice that connects people. Elvis connects to his fans and connects fans to each other just like four different generations of women from one family fell in love with him like the women in my family fell for Elvis which was the point of my story that has nothing to do with Michael Jackson and it still doesn't have anything to do with Michael Jackson, so take your envy of Elvis back to your corner of the internet and stop trolling Elvis sites because it's a waste of everyone's time. We love Elvis. Michael Jackson is just guy that married Lisa Marie to steal his songs and his fans still so insecure that they try to steal from Elvis and his legacy by trying to trash talk him to his own fans which will fail as Michael did in getting his father in law's music. Elvis is Elvis. MJ never surpassed him.

    Dealing with "The Colonel" was the biggest personal career mistake Elvis ever made, IMHO. Trapped him in his "formula" movies that he privately hated. Elvis wanted to be in the "Star Is Born" remake for a movie comeback, but Parker nixed it, so they cast Kris Kristofferson.

    • @jdj830
      @jdj830 Рік тому +13

      And Elvis was the first choice to play Tony in the original movie of West Side Story, and the Colonel nixed that too. That might be the most heartbreaking what-if of all. Tony was the weakest link in the film and having Elvis do it would have sent what was already a masterpiece into the stratosphere. It also would have transformed Elvis’s career to be associated with something of that quality, a film actually worthy of his talents.

      @@jdj830 I don't think Elvis had the 'character' to play Tony in West Side Story. I'm a big Elvis fan and a big fan of West Side Story and a fan of musicals, but Elvis' style just didn't fit the storyline of WSS. His voice could sound almost 'too good' for the kind of singing that Tony would have. Elvis' voice bordered on almost operatic baritone. But I loved his ballads...come to think of it, I loved his rocking songs, too. ("Baby I don't care, care, care, care. I don't care, care, care".)

    There is a story about the colonel that goes like this. When he was a young man in Holland, where he hailed from, he was known as a bit of a flashy dresser as he used to get about town wearing a yellow raincoat, a bit of a trademark look. There was a young woman he was seeing who was last seen alive with a man that resembled the colonel and he was wearing a yellow raincoat. The Police went on a search for the Man in the yellow rain coat but didn't find him. . .On the same night this woman that was apparently murdered, the colonel went missing. He left his home in Holland, without telling friends or family, and somehow he made it to the USA, where he wound up working as a Carney. His friends and family never heard from him again till one night his sister saw him on TV. The story goes that the real reason the Colonel never left the USA or applied for citizenship or would never let Elvis travel, except for the stint in the marines, was because he feared that Interpol would intercept him and interrogate him as to why he left Holland in such a hurry...I found this story on the internet when I was writing a paper on Elvis Presley, if you search Colonel Tom Parker Its out there somewhere on the web.

    It's an interesting contrast when you compare arguably the two biggest movie stars in the world who happen to both be named Tom. Tom Cruise pushes himself to the limit, he throws his star power around to create something you've never seen before on screen and it shows in the box office. He's currently also messing with Paramount while making what are presumably the final two Mission Impossible movies back to back. Getting them to do a 90 day cinema release when the standard these days is 45. Not shooting part 1 so they can't have any say over the budget which last I head was well over $300 million. He also wants something like 20% of the first dollar gross. He's a giant blockbuster film star.
    Tom Hanks on the other hand seems like someone you could bump into on the street. He's pleasant and kind of low key. Doesn't really make the news that much. You never really hear about him throwing his weight around. He's somewhat unassuming. He just does his job and he does it well. I'm sure he also gets paid quite well but it isn't obvious. He doesn't spend years working on one movie. He does the movie he works on then goes onto the next one. He doesn't need tp control every aspect of every movie he's on though he does produce some of them he seems like he'd be a much more easy going boss.
    You could easily call them both the biggest movie star America has produced. At least in the current time period. Yet they could not be more different in how they go about it. I just found it interesting to think about.
