- Elvis first, and only, live talk show interview.
'Hy Gardner Calling!' was a famous talk show in New York. Using a spilt-screen fromat Gardner called his interviewees at their homes. Here, Elvis is talking from his New York hotel room, on July 1st, 1956.
7:20 “Of course I’m not a good singer.” Impressive humility for such an extraordinarily talented person. God bless Elvis.
@BNO97 ! whats up your ass today?
Diego James Lol
I heard that too..I was thinking no he wasnt a good sing ..he was an amazing sing/performer
I think you should see it from the perspective of a 50s citizen. His style of singing was totally new and standarts of good singing were very different. Nobody could decide who a good rock singer had been or who hadn't.
ELVIS was a Mega ⭐ he was very humble
He was only 21, in this July 1956 interview.
He once said that his fame came very fast,
all at once. No other 21 year old, had such
a enormous popularity and magnitude of
a career, that he achieved in his 23 year
career. Still, 45 Years later after his passing,
NO ONE. His legacy will live on to Eternity.
How could people not like him after watching this?
I agree
He's so humble and so kind, considering he had an element of shyness about him. He was probably a bit uncomfortable with interviews, but was nice enough to do them.
That's right
You could see the discomfort a few times, here. Loooove him!!
2:00 I love this moment. Such a mature way of handling that question to simply say that the critics have a job to do, and they do it. And then for him to still stick to his guns and say that he doesn't believe he's done anything wrong is so impressive. Great interview.
"I'm not a good singer" LOL baby you're The King
I think Elvis Presley is getting more attention now than any other artist out now. Amazing! This is how much of an incredible impact he made to the world when he was alive. It still continues! ✌🏻
Jesus. You're painfully wrong about this opinion, as much as I wish it was true.
ELVIS will always be popular, he is the one and only ELVIS until ♾️✌️❤️✝️
It’s just because the new movie came out and sparked interest in him again. It’s introducing many new people to his life and music.
21 yers old - smart young man. Some silly questions, but really clever and honest answers from young unexperienced tired Elvis Presley. He had class and charizma from young age.
He was gifted in every way. He was a Angel
😇 from Heaven, her for 42 years. He will
live in our 💓 for eternity♾️✌️🕊️❤️🌹🌹
Truly inspirational family man. Always a giving person. The greatest 🙏 of all time. ..Long live the 👑 king....❤
The most gifted elite person.... Always was the most genuine artist actor....Love the greatest ever..Mr Presley was the greatest yesterday today and tomorrow...❤❤❤
"of course im not a good singer" HE'S SO HUMBLE THO
Such a class. He was naturally extraordinary.
oui c'est la classe un exemple
Yes.
Even Elvis ' eyelids were beautiful 😃💗
Presley used car lot...so sweet..he said that he isnt a good singer..no he was amazing singer and amazing human being
He was answering questions as if he were here today in 2019 --
He was way ahead of his time
Boy, he really had a SOUTHERN accent ;-)
Classic Tennessee accent, or rather a Mississippi drawl.
Well I'd say south Memphis and Mississippi
Yeah, he was from the south. Duh.
I love it..hes so country Southern..just a sweetheart..dryating? Maybe I didn't spell it correctly
Love it
He looks so sad and tired. I wanna give him a hug a blanket and a cup of tea 💙💙💙
He sure didn't sleep enough. He worked a lot
"The Presley used car lot." I laughed out loud.
HE WAS ABSOLUTELY DROP DEAD GORGEOUS! NO WONDER WOMEN WENT NUTS, ITS WORTH WATCHING HIS MOVIES JUST TO LOOK AT HIM!
His accent is really shining through
He humbly says twice... "I'm doing the best I can"..stunning man! Angelic!
I love him
ELVIS... earth 😇💓🌹💓
Love that he said "Anything that is mine is theirs".
He was incredibly humble... So sweet and respectful ❤️
What an utterly charming man Elvis is. You can't help but love the guy. And looks? As good-looking as any movie star ever. I wasn't an Elvis kid -- I was all about the Beatles and jazz. But now I appreciate him so much.
Mark Woldin Me too! I never really paid attention to Elvis because I was so into the Beatles. At 61, I’m now obsessed with Elvis.
That man handled the intrusion of the ridiculous press so magically. Wise beyond his years. Such a beautiful man inside and out ❤
He was tired because everything happened so fast and he was so much about pleasing fan's and the people who worked with him. He wasn't doing anything wrong he learned his move's in the neighborhood he grew up in, he said himself he was raised in a pretty good home. Glady's loved her son so much she actually told him what to do and he listened. Elvis respected his parent's, especially his mother and I don't think he would do anything that didn't please her. He was a gentleman at home and with his fan's, he was just really special and we all still love him.
He was a class act. One of the most handsomest and talented men to walk the earth!
+Annie Carriero handsome*
1ranjeeves21 your right my grammar is questionable there.
Annie Carriero You're*
1ranjeeves21 Don't get too carried away with the formalities.
Annie Carriero At last perfect grammar. Top marks!
Elvis was so humble and understood how media works . He accepted both good and bad media coverage of him
He was truly beautiful, humble, generous, honest and had god given talent. They were afraid of him and didn’t know what to do with him, the crap he had to put up with at the beginning of his career was unreal and must’ve had an impact on him ❤️
That's right they put him in the Army , thinking people will forget about him ,then when he came out of the Amy they sent him to Hollywood for 10years ,the in 1968 he did that comeback special and everyone knew then he still was the king of rock n roll.x
So adorable!!!! I like when he was talking about his parents when he said EVERYTHING OF MINE IS THERES... I wish I could of met him.
he was so humble God bless him! I hope he's having the best birthday in heaven with Lisa Marie !!!
Such an intelligent person. Elvis never said anything negative about any comments or stories they told about him. Such a positive and sincere soul.
I was only 10 yrs old when Elvis passed. I remember all of the family in front of the TV listening to the news. Then our momma was crying uncontrollably. It was such a heavy & sad time. I remember feeling so sad for his daughter who was a year younger than me. I remember thinking how sad she must have been & that made me sad. Elvis is truly an icon. Now, Lisa Marie is gone as well. It brings up a lot of sad emotions. RIP 🕊️
I was just 14 when he died. I spent the whole week crying and writing in my journal. I grew up with him on the record player and on the Saturday night movies. Love the way he said, “Not my heed!” Everything he did was mesmerizing! Love you till I die Elvis!
He was just such a sweetheart. Can't help but love him.
ELVIS is the beginning of the modern era of popular culture. Without Elvis, the world would be.......well, different.
He truly was a pioneer. The guy is present in EVERYTHING. you see clothes, modern dance moves, novelty items all have some Elvis influence. It's so extraordinary
Absolutely! He was so beautiful
We evolve no matter what, Elvis or no Elvis! There’s countless other artist who were just as good if not better than Elvis who had an impact on today’s music and culture. God bless them all
WITHOUT Elvis the world would be BORING as far as music is concerned.....cuz up till NOW NO ONE hasn't EVN COME CLOSE too what ELVIS has DONE as far as the music industry is concerned.....HE STILL HOLDS THE TITLE AS THE KING OF ROCK N ROLL....THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER ERA LIKE THIS AGAIN.....NOT UNLESS HIS GRANDSON SURPRISES US!!!! BUT I DON'T THINK HE HAS ANY INTEREST IN SINGING
@BNO97 ! No one has ever DONE what Elvis has done!!!! His been gone for over 40yrs....can you name ANY ONE person FAMOUS alive/or dead!!!! Who still effect the AMERICAN PPL LIKE ELVIS DOES.....you can't cuz there ISN'T ANYONE LIKE ELVIS!!!! EVERYONE has they're own opinion about Elvis.....some might be bad...... but THANK GOD 99.99% OF IT IS ALL GOOD....AND THE 1% is ur comment tht no one really thinks about or worries about.........NO one can JUDGE ANYONE only God has tht power. Until a person has walked in someone's shoes.....I DON'T THINK ANYONE TRULY KNOWS WHAT IT'S LIKE LIVING SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE!!!! SO THERE FOR I THINK IT'S A SHAME!!!! HOW PPL CAN PUT SOMEONE DOWN..... AND NOT KNOW ANYTHING!!!! ABOUT THE PERSON THEY'RE PUTTING DOWN!!!!! PPL ONLY KNOW WHAT THEY SEE ON THE OUTSIDE.....Life as we know it is coming to an END FAST.....and it's sad we still hvnt learned....how to be CIVIL with one another as God intended us to BE. God BLESS US ALL😇😇🙏🙏😇😇
Wow. He looked sooooo good. He was awsome
He does wink alot...just watch his eyes
I dont like seeing long usernames on youtube you can tell he’s exhausted in this video. Circles around his eyes, wrinkles, etc. He had been touring and recording nonstop.
No hesitation in his answers. He tells it like it is. Loved that about Elvis.
He's adorable. Miss him!
Beautiful young Elvis ❤ so well spoken and polite.
Not to many know that sufferd from clinical depression think because
Of that he was ten times harder on him self than anyone else in his short life..all his life he was a searcher.. searching for meaning that he just could not find the answer and that's why him....he asked this over and over again..but I think he handled fame fortune better than anyone superstar before and after his time..hope one day somene does book about on how great he was at giving to others than receiving..he was legendary giver..if that makes any since...
Man he’s handsome ❣️
I wish I could express how much I love this man
Great interview. Happy Birthday Elvis, he would have been 80 today!
+Bri nln And today he would have been 81!
87 this year
Elvis was great in this interview. He was so truthful and straight forward with his answers.
I love that Southern drawl.
His cheekbones are just too cute
He had the most beautiful cheekbones
He was the first recording artist to add percussions!! And the only one to be added to FOUR different HALLs OF FAME!!
God, he's so beautiful
Ive never seen that full interview. Coolest guy ever. No doubt about it.
The greatest ever. Period.
In fairness to Elvis, he is very fascinating especially the looks and most of all the charisma. Truly the king of rock and roll. I like also his movies, attracted not only to the old ones but also the grown-up. ❤❤❤
You know. Hes only 21. Brought up dirt poor. Extreme basic education.
Yet he carries himself with such maturity and integrity. Wise beyond his years.
The name " Elvis " is Welsh. Its origin means , " All Wise "
The name Elvis is Latin for the Irish name Ailbe. St. Alibe was an Irish Christian monk that brought Christ to the Welsh. Ailbe means "white".
Elvis graduated with a High School Diploma ..
What's scary is I still think of myself as a youngster but I'm almost as old as Elvis' dad was here at the time of this interview, wow!
@wass 85 You're not old at all. My oldest sister is going to be 40 next month coming up. She's within your age range. You should still continue to think that you are a youngster since you're not really matured in age like that yet. I'm coming up in age myself since I'm not that young like how I used to be. I'm 28 in case you're wondering.
There's the guy that changed the world of music as we know it. EP forever! Never to be forgotten about!
What a humble man with a good sensible head on his shoulders.
Wow what a treat ! Elvis looked very tired but so real , transparent, very honest w his responses. Thank you
His hair looked so cool
right?? he MADE this style
It did! He was the best looking coolest dude on the planet back then and even today even though he died. He'll always be on top with that.
He tried to get into Elvis' head, but Elvis was great and went on to be even greater.
He really tried but Elvis always came out on top ❤️
I love listening to Elvis talk.....just so honest and sincere, so very humble!
No one compares to him even now in 2021!!!!!
Love him so very much 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
What a beautiful man 💕 inside and out
Definitely
This is my favorite interview with him cause it is so up close and personal. I love that we can see his expressions soo well as if we are there.
He did so much for everyone donated bought homes for people..A great beautiful person...The greatest of all time still very popular inspired many new artists.... There will always only be one ELVIS PRESLEY GOD BLESS HIM ALWAYS
He was a class act from the start, he couldn't do anything but Amazing! Amazing was so easy to him. Just open your mouth, say a little somethin, with that smile, almost smurk, and you just bought the crowd!!! My God, you have the crowd. He seen that from the start but he didn't abuse it, he used it to get us all goin! Once in a universe, we were lucky to see that! Thank God I was born in 1965
We need Elvis again!
He was not only a great singer but a great actor, guitarist, songwriter, dancer and above all a wonderful full human being.
You right sir
Coolest man in the entire universe.
Poor Elvis. He was just feeling the music, dancing to the music. ❤️🕊️
he’s so humble love u elvis
I just love that beautiful southern accent. ❤️💋❤️
Thank you for this, one of my favorite early interviews with him. Love love love him here. Adorable, shy, funny, insanely sexyyy
He was always so
Humble
If you can say a man is beautiful he is. Inside and out. Damn shame what the hollywood machine did to him!
Elvis is so cool
Me encanta la actitud de Elvis, no se deja pisar. Es mi hombre.
Magnificent human being, god I love this man, I am not from the same era, but lord have mercy, he is looking so delicious in this interview.
Breathtaking
Hello from England
ELVIS died 2 days before my 12th birthday. I have been a FAN "ever since OH MY.
Having watched lots of videos about ELVIS and his "backstory" they have made me think so much more of the years that have passed - even the live shows 50 +
When you consider the influence he had, the size and magnitude of STARDOM that he had by the time he was 23 he was "forced" into the "isolation" by nature of his FAME even then. By 1969 and at the end he had to be surrounded all the time and be taken place to place by car. Then when he had the Lisa Marie the only difference was he was able to get to shows quicker.
Elvis had his group of trusted friends, the "memphis mafia" who were very important to him because they would protect him from getting hurt, or stop him from getting into situations he could not get out of. If he was stopped somewhere by fans or the like and made him late and he pulled away then the Fans could not get close and therefore it may have been detrimental.
ELVIS was sublimely an "ICON" for the times
I don't have friends who're fans of Elvis to watch these videos with me :(
You are the special and smart, they are the shit, never forget.
Thank you
as a 23 yyear old student from austria I can sort of relate to your comment... but then again it gives me so much joy to just watch him and hear him talk while reading the comments that I truly (is that a legit english word? anyways it fullfills its taks by describing you what I think ;D) feel conected to him and all people who experince the same. So dont forget, you dont watch these videos alone, at least 40.000 people feel with you, so cheers to all the people who watch elvis on youtube by themselfs, youre not alone : ))
same :(
I've never seen 'who are' written like that. :'D
He was soooo tired. Poor guy. So wise for his years.
At 21 years of age he knew EXACTLY what to say. The truth is hard to argue with.
Perfection!! most gorgeous handsome man in history😘
Yeees for sure he was
A southern boy for sure
Elvis knew how to move to the top fast. He did this with determination, hard work, and those damn good looks and such style.
Great to see this virtually complete and in decent quality.
Elvis Presley always reminded me of my pastor.
Elvis looks so young and Elvis was a really good sport about singing to a dog ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So polite; such a gentleman to everyone man or woman. I loved his interview and the way he speaks. He is young here at 21 years old so his innocence to a lot of stuff shows. He is not silly by any means but I remember when I was 21. It is a young age to get all the fame and publicity and how to handle all that must have been hard especially when you come from nothing or very little. Great video.
This interview of Elvis makes me sad actually. He comes across as though he's extremely tired almost to the point of exhaustion (has very dark circles and puffiness like little bags right under his eyes) and just not happy and this was when he was just starting out his career in his youth until his tragic death at 42! Just the fact he says he can't sleep but for 4-5 hours and then saying it all happened so fast ... it's like it was all in a daze for him because of the grooling schedule the Col. had him do non-stop at such a young age. He missed a lot of his teenage years because of wanting to become famous. Sooner or later all of it catches up with you and then it's too late. His death in his early mids is no shock considering his lifestyle and being as famous as he'd become. Elvis is an exhilarating inspirational story but also a very sad tragic one with many lessons to be learned from it for upcoming young people who wish to become just as famous as the King was. Wonderful interview of Elvis! What a treasure to have on film! So very rare indeed. R.I.P. ~ E.A.P. You will always be the King of our hearts
EmeraldJade66
His death truly aches my heart . .. died unhappy while he continue to search his soulmate . No doubt he’s been unhappy since the witch Priscilla left him. Let’s continue to pray for him . May he Rest In Peace . I pray for him everyday .
his eyes were naturally like that just like his mom's. you're reading an awful lot into one short interview. He was happy at this point..
The Darkness at the bottom of the eyes is hereditary -- his entire family is like that
@@nildaaraga8377 How is Priscilla a witch though? She isn't perfect of course, but she loved Elvis and gave him his heart, aka his Lisa.
Elvis was always my dream man and he will always be my number one singer and will always be the singer for me ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
He was the greatest and already showing it.
"If there had been no Elvis, there would be no Beatles." ~ John Lennon
That’s really funny since John Lennon and Elvis did not get along at all, Elvis did not like John Lennon at all and he was actually responsible for trying to get John Lennon kicked out of the country
This is such an interesting video! Elvis hated performing in the tux and being told not to dance; despite all the hate from the news and reporters he never let it stop him from performing in such a revolutionary way. he really seemed like a passionate guy and it's a shame how tragically it all ended, but his impact on the world is lasting.
Thank you for uploading
Elvis is the King of rock and roll 😎 he was very humble and giving never forgot where he came from but was his personal life actually happy had a wife who loved him and a beautiful daughter ❤️ long live Elvis
I am glad to see this interview.I was becoming more aware of Elvis Presley at this time and the controversy that was mentioned.Elvis was 21 at this time..On July,3 1956 I turned 9.I was barely aware of James Dean.I had seen the movie Giant.
This is Elvis that's why we love him so much. He was a dw home southern boy that grew up so fast. And did a wonderful amazing job pleasin his fans. Which made the greatest in the entertainer the world has ever had and always will b
He looks very tired.
Liz Mason i mean he sleep just 4 to 5 hours
The start of his sleep issues, this is why he started with the drugs, drugs to sleep, then drugs to keep awake a vicious cycle
why are there so little views of this.. and so many dislikes??! this is one of the greatest things i have ever seen on you tube, and i am not a big Elvis fan. this is so cool
You are so correct!!!!! There are a whole lot of clueless and classless people out there, I feel sorry for them, they've/they miss so much..................
There are only 6 dislikes lol
Rory & the island yeah 6 dislikes sooo much
Nearly 500 likes and you're complaining that the vid has 6 dislikes?? alrighty then
There are many videos of this interview on YT.
He’s the man
As someone with terrible insomnia I am so sympathetic to Elvis in this interview. He was so tired he was about to drop. People judge him for finally taking amphetamines but I bet he just couldn't keep up. He was supporting so many people family and friends. Exhausted and then tormented by insomnia. Poor dude.
Bless his heart!
He's so cool and REAL in this interview, and funny too!!!!!!!!
Some of the questions are frankly ludicrous, however, Elvis’s answers were polite and direct. At this time, he was a unique, exciting talent, whose voice was instantly recognisable. Elvis must have been bored and somewhat indignant about the stupidity of the questions, but nevertheless, he answered each one with good grace.
Yeah, but Elvis doesn't really answer two questions clearly: the one about shooting his mother and, I believe, the one about marijuana. It always baffled me why he didn't come right out and deny both stories.
He is one of a kind thank you elvis
