@Aþort Mən Quincy never worked with him… any bs he said was all hear say. Quincy has been spreading a lot of rumors of different artist, maybe he lookin for attention
My mother loved her Elvis Presley. My mom said she met him when he came to the fairgrounds on Colored night. She said, “Elvis was beautiful, almost angelic-like. He was handsome and polite. He sang gospel with them, and he was the perfect Southern gentleman. He dressed, walked, talked, and danced like a confident distinguish Black man in the 50’s.”
Thank you for posting this. This rumor about Elvis and racism was false a bold faced lie.. Elvis had nothing but love respect and compassion for Black people. He was actually raised in the Black church and spent his early teen years living in the projects...A wonderful human being..Genius talent.. May he rest in peace and power..
He never said he hated elvis he said he hated the media calling him the king the king of what he said he also said in that interview elvis was O K he also never got to meet elvis .@@Taranis_Chris
Thanks for the nice comments from are black brothers and sisters for Elvis, such love and truth for him, Elvis loved all people, like Jesus loves all of us .
@Eye. stupid Benny Spy he was only Cherokee from 6 generations back. Her name was Morning White Dove born around 1800. That's not a strong Indian heritage. What did your mother do at Graceland?
@@belindascott6916 Is it six generations back? There are many reports that differ greatly on the topic of Elvis having Cherokee ancestry. I've read articles that say his maternal great, great, great Grandmother was Cherokee and then other articles say he was only 1/32 Cherokee? I've also heard that he's a distance relative of Oprah Winfrey, apparently they are cousins? I'm not being a smart ass or anything like that I'm genuinely just curious as to which of the many differing reports are correct.🙂
Whitney was Abused by her cousin brother whose mother is Dione Warwick when Cissy left Whitney under Dione Warwick care .this effected her .Drugs was influcence by Whitneys brother
Amen , he loved black people, stop ✋ hateing on this Great , Totally agree with you Brothers and Sisters, peace and joyous life and love ❤ of Jesus Christ is what Jesus want to do towards others, Love your neighbor as yourself. God's love ❤, to the World 🌎
Elvis was just real. The most famous person on the planet kept his head on straight. He knew his influence and used it to help others. And himself. You get back more sweetness with sugar than you get with vinegar. Elvis had nothing to lose and everything to gain. Smart guy.
This lovely woman tells of the side of Elvis most of us fans have always known.He was a kind gentle human being with no prejudice in him at all.Sad that the silly rumours persist.I can see no end to this sadly.
@Aþort Mən who are they. Most of what I have read over the years have been respectful memories. We all know of the drugs and outbursts of temper etc but buy and large he seems to have been a thoroughly decent man with as I said human flaws.
Amen 🙏 Brother's and Sister's, Elivis Presley was a great man, despite the lies about him . people are going to talk bad you and everyone else. We're Children of the most high Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ 🙏 is love ❤. Elivis Presley, was a amazing man 👨 I loved him ❤. Brother's and Sister's be Blessed.
@@nicklubrino2606 There is a video on RUclips of Whitney saying she was taken to meet Elvis as a young child and was too in awe of him to talk.Look it up.👍
nice lady, nice interview. almost all the interveiws i have watched about former musicians or band mates of elvis who have worked with him......all they have to say is nice things about him....watch that james burton one...and muhammad ali too. it seems they were good friends...
My 2 childhood HERO'S Ali & Elvis!! There's a great picture on the web of them both " facing off" when E' gave Ali a beautiful robe in 1972! ....also you know Elvis must have been a good guy if Muhammad Ali talked good of him!! Come on now!! I love them both!
I like this woman. Just watched her performance "yesterday" and it reminded me of my mom who was also so wowed by her performance just before she died.. It's a special song for me.
I was stunned when I heard someone say elvis was racist. Every black person that knew him said that couldnt be further from the truth. Chuck berry , bo Didley, sammy davis jr & cissy have said its nonsense & they loved him. Cissy was beaming showing a gold bracelet elvis bought her which he had inscribed a message to her. She showed it to oprah & had kept it all these years. It was so sad that she one day wanted to pass it on to her daughter whitney who had passed. So oprah suggested giving it to whitney's daughter & she said she would. Sadly her granddaughter passed to. I cant imagine burying ur baby then 3 years later burying ur babys baby. Anyway every person that knew elvis has nothing but great things to say about him. This is a man that a black woman just said to him that she admired his car & he threw her the keys & said " its urs " I mean how incredibly generous. Whitney also said she was in awe of elvis as a little girl bc her mom brought her to some of he4 sessions. Another one who says elvis was so nice to her. She said elvis had such an aura u couldnt take ur eyes off of him. Ann Margaret I find to be very classy in that she will never discuss anything personal about his life. That's how much he meant to her. John lennon said many times that if their was no elvis their would be no Beatles. Those guys worshipped him as teens.
My great grandmother told me Elvis made a statement that "the only thing black people can do is shine his shoes." After that got out, Black people stopped buying his records. So he publicly apologized & changed his beliefs because his pockets were getting thinner💸. This is according to my great grandmother. I wasn't born then so idk.
@@dawnlee866 their was no truth to that at all. Jet magazine did a three year investigation looking into it and couldn’t find any information on it. He never apologized because he never said it.
Saw a quote from Whitney Houston once (she said she was 12 at the time) that when ELVIS entered the room everything stopped and people just looked at him. ❤️
THE KING 👑 OF ROCK AND ROLL TREATED THE SWEET INSPIRATIONS WITH THE UPMOST RESPECT THEY DESERVED ✨💫 AMEN GOD 🙏🏻 BLESS THE SWEET INSPIRATIONS SINGING WITH THE KING 👑 OF ROCK AND ROLL ✨⚡⚜️ AMEN 🎗️ THANK YOU VERY MUCH 💖⚡
Did you hear her say the girls STILL SING WITH HIM.. The interviewer NEVER says a thing about it.... As Cissy says Oh He's Dead... I Think Elvis Is Alive! He would be turning 83 in January of 2018. Love You EAP!!!! 😘😘💕💕
@Moody Blues I think what Cissy Houston meant is that they (The Sweets and other original band members) still worked with Elvis (his spirit) in the LIVE On Screen Concerts.
I think Elvis treated all people the same, he loved his fans and his band and his singers..I saw him once and I loved every minute of it..He was the hottest man that ever sung on this earth ..He was loved by every woman and the men were all jealous of him...Included my husband
It’s sad that someone started a bogus rumor about Elvis being prejudiced. The founder of Jet Magazine proved it to be false in 1957. People loved to hang on to that crap
James Brown, and Jackie Wilson,also spoke very highly of Elvis and Mr Brown told Chuck D,that he shouldn't have said what he said about Elvis because that was not at all the truth.
@Eye. stupid Benny Spy listen up very carefully... Morning White Dove was born circa 1800 there would be no way that the skin colour still had an effect on Elvis who was so very Celtic! You're disgusting to bring racism into it! And I don't believe your mother worked at Graceland because you still haven't answered my question so stop spreading bullshit about Myrna and Elvis' ancestry!
That's awesome, Elvis loved those 3 beautiful women up on stage with him, 3 sexy ladies, it was a great time, Elvis music was special, they gave a great sound to his music, Elvis we all miss you, ladies we miss you 3 as well, great time to be around in those days, 🎵🙏
Elvis was born and had his childhood in Tupelo. According to stories from Sam Bell, Shake Rag held him as their own where he learned music. They still had Elvis days. I can't see him as racist.
I’m born and raised in Tupelo and fun fact he was not born in the city. He was born in a small town outside of Tupelo called “Plantersville” Mississippi. But they ended up moving his house to the main city in order to better control the tourist and give the main city more clout.
I didnt know much about Elvis before the Baz Lurhrman movie besides his hit songs and the iconic white jumpsuit but it's been so cool to learn more about his influences amd specifically how black culture influenced him. It's great to see that what they depicted in the movie was true and that he was someone who treated people of different races equally and treated black people with dignity, love respect in a time when segregation was a thing. I thought they might have played this up for the movie but it really does seem to be the truth.
It just goes to prove the horrible people who have been putting out that rumour for years and years have nothing but hate in their hearts. Elvis loved black people, he grew up with them and took inspiration from them, sang and played with them -even the new movie shows it - pays tribute to them - Rightfully.
Mine you it was the white people that put that rumor out ...then the black people believed the rumors except for the ones who actually knew Elvis personally .
Cissy had a wonderfull high pitch to her voice she did some backing for Aretha Franklin she made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end one track of Arethas was called Aint no way.
Didn't elvis almot refuse to perform one's, if he could not have the sweet inspirations. One of the city he was going to perform was races. He did after and a blonde girl was driving them around afterwords
"Get me the colored girls!"...In 2023 that sounds racist but in the 60-8's dozens of Record Producers and Touring Bands used that phrase to describe the great pros who backed up everything from hard core rock acts to top 40. It truly was a descriptive and accepted term usually said with great affection for the talent.
I love working with black people in the music business, they just had great ears and feel for it that a lot of people don’t have. I had a black producer and almost all black band, just great.
I never heard he was racist (prejudiced as they said back then) , what they say is that he stole from black culture, which is undeniable but what can you do? you can sing like that, you love black music....you're just gonna sing what you love. The problem is the media and music corporations crowning him the "r&B king" and not letting black artists shine on the same level.
I’d like to find out if she is the girl Elvis scared on his video while singing ? Or was it Myrna Smith ? It was so wonderfully funny . So glad to hear from her own words Elvis was not prejudiced , how could he be ? ,He was such a wonderful blessed man . Elvis loved everyone as the Bible teaches love your neighbor as your brother ❤️🙏🕺🌹🎸♥️❤️🎸
Myrna was the one he scared on stage. He always followed them to their dressing room and chatted and joked around with the girls. He had a sweet spot for the sexy Myrna who married his best friend Jerry Schilling. Jerry speaks about Elvis doing the dirty on him with one of his gfs, Elvis couldn’t look him in the eye afterwards and confessed. Just don’t remember which girl that was.
@@nellocan the girl he scared was Sylvia Shemwell. About Elvis and Myrna this is what I've found on the net "In a documentary called, This Time, Smith admitted that Elvis tried to pursue a relationship with her. This isn’t too surprising, as their have been rumors that Elvis was very fond of the ladies. However, it might surprise you that Presley loved black women as he was a rumored racist. Smith dispels those rumors with her open and candid conversation about the love she shared for Elvis. In the video, Smith shared that she and Elvis were often flirty with each other, however, they worked together. Aside from them working together, Smith had a boyfriend, Gregory, that was apart of the band as well. However, that didn’t stop the King from showing Smith love and affection. Elvis’ dear friend, Jerry Schilling, loved Smith too. Unlike the king, Schilling never stopped pursing Smith and he eventually won her over. Smith even married Schilling briefly from 1982-1987." 😁
I didn’t say she liked it . I said she been around the industry with the likes of major super stars like Elvis. She has seen major celebrity and major drug use
Dumb statement...she was devastated her daughter was on drugs...and did everything she could to help her get off. Like Elvis...you have to help yourself to quit! Unfortunately they were hooked.
She said that Elvis still worked with them.... Then said he's dead, he's dead...!!!! Who else heard this.... Why isn't anyone talking about this!!??? At 2:57
Yep white southern racist people put that out...because they didn't like him singing black music. Influencing the white youth to love what they considered black music.
Diane Miller I think Cissy meant ;sweet inspirations' stayed w/ Elvis until he died..glad Cissy put the record straight Elvis was nor prodigious against blacks or others! God bless!
At 3:08 SHE SAYS ELVIS STILL WORKS WITH THEM..!!!! (Sweet Inspirations) THEN SHE SAYS HE'S DEAD..!!! THE INTERVIEWER NEVER SAYS ANYTHING ABOUT THAT.... BECAUSE ELVIS DID NOT DIE AUGUST 16th 1977..!!!!!!! TRUTH!!!!!
She might be talking about the Elvis show that toured with a lot of the original members of his band where his image was projected on a screen. Yes unfortunately for all of us that were Elvis fans he died in 1977.
Where has the rumour about him being racist come from? My guess (can't be more than that) is that he was a poor southern white boy. And then a simple assumption is made. In fact, it's possibly/probably a form of racism in itself.
BUT QUINCY JONES WORDS ELVIS RIP WAS A RACIST AND HE WOULD NEVER WORK FOR HIM LIKE HE DID FOR FRANK SINATRA. RIP HIS WORDS BUT I REMEMBER WHEN HE SAID ALL BLACK PEOPLE CAN DO IS SHINE HIS SHOES....I REMEMBER THAT AS A KID.... HIS SONGWRITER WAS A BLACKMAN OTIS BLACKWELL GOOGLE..HE NEVER GOT THE CREDIT FOR HIS HIT SONGS HE WROTE FOR ELVIS RIP...THEY KEPT HIM BEHIND TGE SCENES..,. TO ME HE WAS GOOD TO MAYBE BLACKWOMAN BUT BLACK DUDES FORGET IT.. jb
BB King personally told me that Elvis was a great friend & did more to help underprivileged children of color in Memphis than anyone. he said Elvis was his friend & only helped music. get over your racism , Elvis paid all of Jackie Wilson's medical bills. James Brown & Sammy Davis Jr attended his funeral
@@bbb8997 Just telling u what Quincy Jones Master PRODUCER said in his book and In his interview bout Elvis... Now as a kid enjoying Elvis music talent I personally heard him say to a reporter All black people can do is shine his shoes . My own ears eyes witness this.. I'm sure he did a lot of things for black brown red and white etc.... Good for him but I heard what he said In those days like today anything is possible...so I do not have to get over Anything period neither Quincy Jones Take it for what it's worth..but keep it Real estate there's a reason why Quincy Worked with and loved FRANK SINATRA RIP.. JB.ok
@@riverlife2379 yep & old racist Quincy trashed Michael Jackson too. BB King told me Elvis Presley was the best person he ever knew. do some research, Sammy Davis Jr, Cissy Houston, James Brown, Little Richard, & others. quincy is just angry, he didn't get to work with ELVIS
@@bbb8997 Kool don't hate the messenger hate The msg from his mouth to mine and your ears.... But I saw and heard Elvis RIP say All blacks can do is shine his shoes .. Myself.... QUINCY DID WONDERS FOR MJ OFF THE WALL THRILLER ETC HE MET MICHAEL DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN NY ON THE SET OF THE WIZ FILMING AT THE OLD WORLD TRADE CENTER NYC..... HE DID WONDERS FOR MJ HE SUED THE ESTATE OF MJ BECAUSE THEY WERE CHANGING THE MUSIC HE AND MJ MADE CUTTING HIM OUT OF HIS ROYALTIES.... AND QUINCY WON..... HE WAS NOT SUING MJ RIP PER SE HE SUING THOSE WHO WERE MESSING WITH THEIR MUSIC.. JB ok
@@neutraliserjanine The men were a threat...the women he Loved black white etc cause he Loved His Mother so much...... The south was known for Jim crow segregation DISCRIMINATION red LININGS against blacks period.... Elvis was convicted and torn...why because he would sing a lot of Gospel Music he was a tortured soul when it Came to RACISM...don't believe ASK OTIS BLACKWELL a BLACKMAN WHO wrote ELVIS songs and how he was treated google OTIS BLACKWELL... say it again QUINCY JONES said Elvis was a racist one of the prolific MASTER PRODUCERS IN THE WORLD.... JB.ok
Every single black person that was ever around Elvis or worked for him have nothing but good things to say about him.
Man elvis was a racist, chuck d said it, and he knows everything
@@canedewey756 just the opposite
Who cares what Quincy Jones had to say.

2.) How beautiful/handsome he was
3.) How professional he was
Thanks for the nice comments from are black brothers and sisters for Elvis, such love and truth for him, Elvis loved all people, like Jesus loves all of us .
@Eye. stupid Benny Spy he had a tiny bit of Cherokee from 5 generations back. He was predominantly Irish Scottish so therefore Caucasian
@Eye. stupid Benny Spy he was only Cherokee from 6 generations back. Her name was Morning White Dove born around 1800. That's not a strong Indian heritage. What did your mother do at Graceland?
@@belindascott6916
Is it six generations back? There are many reports that differ greatly on the topic of Elvis having Cherokee ancestry. I've read articles that say his maternal great, great, great Grandmother was Cherokee and then other articles say he was only 1/32 Cherokee? I've also heard that he's a distance relative of Oprah Winfrey, apparently they are cousins? I'm not being a smart ass or anything like that I'm genuinely just curious as to which of the many differing reports are correct.🙂
Cissy Houston is very credible because she actually worked with ELVIS, so what she TESTIFIES to here is GOLD.
Give Cissy “The Dutchess” Houston her flowers .. this woman is backup and gospel Royalty !!!
I love Elvis Presley music.
it is the songs Elvis sang, not Elvis music.
Keep in mind when Ms. Houston is speaking about being home with her children, one of her children was Whitney Houston. Yep, THAT Whitney Houston.
Wow that’s right and Whitney was off the planets great.
really? wow
she bring home da drugs
And that means WHAT exactly?
Whitney was Abused by her cousin brother whose mother is Dione Warwick when Cissy left Whitney under Dione Warwick care .this effected her .Drugs was influcence by Whitneys brother
Beautiful description of her time with Elvis.
bless her heart. says kind things about elvis.
Elvis was not racist
He was one of the biggest funders of Martin Luther King

This isn’t too surprising, as their have been rumors that Elvis was very fond of the ladies. However, it might surprise you that Presley loved black women as he was a rumored racist. Smith dispels those rumors with her open and candid conversation about the love she shared for Elvis. In the video, Smith shared that she and Elvis were often flirty with each other, however, they worked together. Aside from them working together, Smith had a boyfriend, Gregory, that was apart of the band as well. However, that didn’t stop the King from showing Smith love and affection. Elvis’ dear friend, Jerry Schilling, loved Smith too. Unlike the king, Schilling never stopped pursing Smith and he eventually won her over. Smith even married Schilling briefly from 1982-1987." 😁
Cool
i bet they wish CELL PHONE CAMERAS were around back then
Cissy been around. I feel like thats why she didnt trip about Whitney being on drugs
No, she did trip. She did not like the fact that daughter was using drugs.
I didn’t say she liked it . I said she been around the industry with the likes of major super stars like Elvis. She has seen major celebrity and major drug use
Dumb statement...she was devastated her daughter was on drugs...and did everything she could to help her get off. Like Elvis...you have to help yourself to quit! Unfortunately they were hooked.
was ms.Houston the lead singer of the sweet inspiration group? 💘 this 🚺
love dooney handbags. Yes, also the founder of the group.
She said that Elvis still worked with them.... Then said he's dead, he's dead...!!!! Who else heard this.... Why isn't anyone talking about this!!???
At 2:57
She only meant when she left the group and stop working for Elvis...the girls still worked for him. That is all she meant.
only real king of music has treating his musicians on the same level
Gosh.....she´s HUNGRY....at (3:09+)!!! You can HEAR it! :)
I grew up on elvis never ever heard he was racist not 1 instants he was labeled racists?
Yep white southern racist people put that out...because they didn't like him singing black music. Influencing the white youth to love what they considered black music.
Si toi aussi tu travailles dessus en englais tapé dans tes main 👏👏
she said " I left the group and they still work with him" then she says " hes dead" hmmmmmmm
Diane Miller I think Cissy meant ;sweet inspirations' stayed w/ Elvis until he died..glad Cissy put the record straight Elvis was nor prodigious against blacks or others! God bless!
Diane Miller
He Is Still Alive!!!!!
God Bless Him!!!!
@@yedon68 prodigious? That word means something totally different prejudice. Lol
🤔☝️where is he Gussy? Got proof? 😯
Por favor en español😭
Quincy Jones was told no by the Colonel is why he hated Elvis.
who else heard her say the other singers still work with Elvis!!!!!!????
Then she says he's Dead! 3:00 BUSTED!!!!!
ELVIS IS ALIVE!!!!
Gussy Gatlin he's dead goodbye
I'm with you, i have never thought elvis died, there are too many videos that i have seen that slipped up about elvis dying
Do you think Elvis calls her to come to Graceland to discuss world events over a cup of tea?
At 3:08 SHE SAYS ELVIS STILL WORKS WITH THEM..!!!! (Sweet Inspirations)
THEN SHE SAYS HE'S DEAD..!!! THE INTERVIEWER NEVER SAYS ANYTHING ABOUT THAT....
BECAUSE ELVIS DID NOT DIE AUGUST 16th 1977..!!!!!!! TRUTH!!!!!
Gussy Gatlin are you dumb?
You are deluded people like you need to be on medication to stay in the real World.
She might be talking about the Elvis show that toured with a lot
of the original members of his band where his image was projected on a screen. Yes unfortunately for all of us that were Elvis fans he died in 1977.
She says I left the group and they still worked with him. The subtitles are wrong
C est gang
Where has the rumour about him being racist come from? My guess (can't be more than that) is that he was a poor southern white boy. And then a simple assumption is made. In fact, it's possibly/probably a form of racism in itself.
Old white racist southerners put that out. They hated Elvis singing what they called black music.
A lovely interview with a terrible interviewer.
Whitney Houston's mother
BUT QUINCY JONES WORDS ELVIS RIP WAS A RACIST AND HE WOULD NEVER
WORK FOR HIM LIKE HE DID FOR FRANK SINATRA. RIP HIS WORDS
BUT I REMEMBER WHEN HE SAID
ALL BLACK PEOPLE CAN DO IS SHINE
HIS SHOES....I REMEMBER THAT AS A KID....
HIS SONGWRITER WAS A BLACKMAN
OTIS BLACKWELL GOOGLE..HE NEVER
GOT THE CREDIT FOR HIS HIT SONGS
HE WROTE FOR ELVIS RIP...THEY KEPT
HIM BEHIND TGE SCENES..,.
TO ME HE WAS GOOD TO MAYBE BLACKWOMAN BUT BLACK DUDES

BB King personally told me that Elvis was a great friend & did more to help underprivileged children of color in Memphis than anyone. he said Elvis was his friend & only helped music. get over your racism , Elvis paid all of Jackie Wilson's medical bills. James Brown & Sammy Davis Jr attended his funeral
@@bbb8997
Just telling u what Quincy Jones
Master PRODUCER said in his book and
In his interview bout Elvis...
Now as a kid enjoying Elvis music talent
I personally heard him say to a reporter
All black people can do is shine his shoes . My own ears eyes witness this..
I'm sure he did a lot of things for black brown red and white etc....
Good for him but I heard what he said
In those days like today anything is possible...so I do not have to get over
Anything period neither Quincy Jones
Take it for what it's worth..but keep it
Real estate there's a reason why Quincy
Worked with and loved FRANK SINATRA RIP..
JB.ok
@@riverlife2379 yep & old racist Quincy trashed Michael Jackson too. BB King told me Elvis Presley was the best person he ever knew. do some research, Sammy Davis Jr, Cissy Houston, James Brown, Little Richard, & others. quincy is just angry, he didn't get to work with ELVIS
@@bbb8997
Kool don't hate the messenger hate
The msg from his mouth to mine and your ears....

All blacks can do is shine his shoes ..
Myself....
QUINCY DID WONDERS FOR MJ

HE MET MICHAEL DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN NY ON THE SET OF THE WIZ FILMING AT THE OLD WORLD TRADE CENTER NYC.....
HE DID WONDERS FOR MJ
HE SUED THE ESTATE OF MJ BECAUSE THEY WERE CHANGING THE
MUSIC HE AND MJ MADE CUTTING HIM OUT OF HIS ROYALTIES....
AND QUINCY WON.....
HE WAS NOT SUING MJ RIP PER SE
HE SUING THOSE WHO WERE MESSING WITH THEIR MUSIC..
JB ok
@@neutraliserjanine
The men were a threat...the women he
Loved black white etc cause he Loved
His Mother so much......
The south was known for Jim crow segregation DISCRIMINATION red LININGS against blacks period....
Elvis was convicted and torn...why because he would sing a lot of Gospel
Music he was a tortured soul when it
Came to RACISM...don't believe ASK
OTIS BLACKWELL a BLACKMAN WHO wrote ELVIS songs and how he was treated google OTIS BLACKWELL...
