      You know what they say the truth will set you free, some people would rather avoid the truth in fear of admitting they are wrong. People just don't want to be wrong even when the truth is easy enough to see. I'm willing to admit when I'm wrong because nobody is perfect. No, I couldn't imagine how Elvis's family would feel, after all they love him and he was a lot of their bread and butter. They knew his warm heart and generosity, they experienced it themselve's which made them love Elvis even more. I remember reading where Elvis shared his icecream with one of his black friend's. Yes, these people were Elvis's friend's and they still love him to this day. They can live in denial if it help's them to feel better about themselve's but we know the truth. Elvis loved Martin Luther King and was devastated when he learned of his death. MLK was a great man and he died for his cause which was peace. Elvis also died an early death for his cause too, a lot of paycheck's depended on Elvis and Elvis loved his fan's. He literally worked himself to death while he was trying to figure out a way to get healthy. There are 2 kind's of people in this world giver's and taker's the giver's don't really get anything back for their giving heart's but they give out of love not reputation. It's all just so ridiculous it's mind boggling.

Elvis to them is a joke because if his weight, prescription drug abuse and the silly movies her made. The see Elvis from the 1977 Tv concert. To boot, younger Black community In America have been informed that Elvis was a racist and stole and got credited for inventing black music from the black community. They think that he's call " King of Rock and Roll " for inventing the black communities sound. But as you should know as an Elvis fan this is not true. He made black sound acceptable and absorbed all types of genras of music and put his spin on in therefore bring all genras if music together. Haters, especially ,gangster rappers have made it hateful and dispicable to anyone for bringing an Elvis fan. They go as far as threatening them as they did with Stevie Wonder who adored Elvis and out of fear from his own race now says different. His legacy now is a racist, thief and fat, drugged up, has been. As you can see everything I said is on this blog. I hope you now get where I'm coming from. ✌️

    Finally, a few people are correcting the wrong that has been unjustly done to Elvis and his legacy. Been wondering for years when honest people would stand up for him and stop
    the hate, disrespect and unfounded lies to a man that stood up with the black community. Never swayed nor ignored their value. But also was in the middle of racist threats and belittling actions by his own race. Older white people. Elvis never stole he emulated just like MJ emulated Jackie Wilson and James Brown. Not to mention Elvis.

    I remember a story verified as true by various sources around Elvis , when he saw a black lady looking into a car showroom window as he was coming out , asked her which car she was after , and after she said she couldn't afford a car , she was just looking , he went back in and came out and gave her the keys to a cadilac , would a racist have done that ??

    Elvis didn't need Quincy Jones to "work with him". Man oh man, these racist stories have always been so ridiculous; all stemmed from jealousy, because Elvis took the spotlight, & yet made it possible to have that door open for anybody. Like EP always said, "there is room for everybody". Racist remarks always hurt him because it was so far from the truth. And yet, you can see down the ages how artists have "borrowed" from EP's unique ways of performing, right down to his outfits!. Truth is, historically, like it or not, Elvis began something that will never end, nor can it be denied; at best, he & his legacy can only be mocked *I can see where Quincy would deflect & have issue with such humble of a talent, as EP, rather than challenge his GOAT status! *This was a great video topic; You articulated a marvelous commentary on the subject, proving, once again why ELVIS IS THE MAN. Excellent, on point, as per usual 👍Great job! 💘

    Quincy Jones is a proven liar. In this latest article he says he remembers Otis Blackwell teaching Elvis how to sing his songs. Blackwell was a black songwriter who wrote Don't Be Cruel and All Shook Up. Elvis hadn't even recorded any of those songs when he performed on the Dorsey shows that Jones worked on. Something Quincy didn't know before he opened his mouth before he spoke again (only to hear his voice) is that Elvis and Blackwell never actually met. A few years ago Jones had to backpedal from what he said about Michael Jackson stealing other people's music for the album Thriller. Quincy Jones is one these people who try to make themselves more important than the people who the question is asked about. Years ago when asked about Elvis he said he remembers being backstage as the musical director on the Ed Sullivan when Elvis performed and never mentioned anything like this. Someone should ask Quincy where he saw Otis and Elvis together. Was it the Dorsey show which is before Elvis recorded anything by Blackwell. Or was it months after Elvis recorded anything by Blackwell? Either this racist was around Otis Blackwell 24/7 he is once again lying. I've been stewing on this for days so I'm sorry I went so long.

    Heard Quincy talking about working with Elvis The Beatles and Michael Jackson saying he'd seen the same thing happen 3 times. He dissed the Beatles recently as well saying none of them were any good as musicians. Seems he has developed a chip on his shoulder. Elvis never sought Quincy out to work with him and wasn't likely too so the idea that Quincy would have the option of turning him down is fantasyland stuff. As for Elvis being racist by his example he did more for breaking down barriers for black music and black artists than anyone else in history. He didn't talk the talk he walked the walk. Quincy Jones has turned into rancid in his old age. Not even the Jacksons like him.

Jealousy is a nasty thing and many were jealous of Elvis and his talents, his success. Elvis's fans know who he was and so do all the ones that are jealous of him. They have to put Elvis down thinking it brings them up, it doesn't. There wasn't and isn't any "star/singer" that had the talents Elvis had and stayed humble like Elvis did. He was an extraordinary man who was incredibly talented and had a heart of gold towards everyone.

    Elvis lived in Tupelo from birth to 8yrs. There was a black boy his age that used to take him to an area of Tupelo called shake rag. Its my understanding that Elvis first experienced black gospel music which permeates across his entire catalog. Why would a guy that hates black people emulate a black sound? In this case Quincy can hit the bricks. Oh and Elvis bought most of his clothes from a store on Beale street called Lansky Bros. They catered to black fashion sensibilities and Elvis loved the place and shopped there until he passed. Can we quit with this please? Oh and one more thing Whitney Houston’s mother sang back ground for him as well.

    I just lost any respect or regard I ever had for Ray Charles or Quincy Jones.
    Elvis LOVED people. Was good to people regardless of color. He had not one ounce of racist in him.

    Those who allege that Elvis was racist must not know about his refusal to play the Houston Astrodome in 1970 without his African American backup singers, The Sweet Inspirations.

    Sad thing about this is that Quincy Jones is one of the world's biggest producers and whatever he says, some people are gonna believe it. Its a very thoughtless and irresponsible accusation to make by Quincy.

    Quincy Jones worked with Sinatra in the mid 60's. Maybe some snobbery there.

    How anyone could even suggest that Elvis was racist is beyond belief.. his love for his staff at Graceland Sammy Davis, The sweet inspirations to name a few. Elvis loved people, he did not see colour or creed. God forgive him. R.I.P the greatest entertainer that we are likely to see in our life time. 💙

    Thanks for defending our man. You cannot 'steal' music you can only be influenced by it, reinterpret and regenerate it. This is how music developed into the multiple forms we see today. It's a very ignorant narrative particularly as multiple famous black artists have performed music originating from white writers, musicians and artists but that is conveniently forgotten. Even Michael Jackson paid homage to Fred Astaire as one of his main influences. Music has been a uniting force but the blinkered think it should've remained segregated. As you say, Elvis must have been too big for their liking. The resentment is tangible.
