- The KING of Rock and Roll would have turned 80 today, and in his honor, I'd like to share with you a rare audio recording of the first ever recorded interview ELVIS PRESLEY did with me and Dewey Phillips on my "Top Ten Dance Party" show in Memphis, circa 1956. If you've got an Elvis fan in your life, please SHARE this with them!
And stay tuned through the end for a bonus interview. Elvis was kind enough to help me kick off my "Dance Party" show on KHJ-TV in Los Angeles. I interviewed him live via phone while he was stationed with the Army in Germany. Happy birthday, Elvis, and long live THE KING!

Elvis handles himself very graciously in his first interview. He seems very genuine and unspoiled.
"I Was the One" was great.
He so darn cute to listen too. love his humor
Honest boy .
Interesting how he likes " i was the one " more than heatbreak hotel .
It shows a little of the tenderness in his heart .
60+ yrs later.. Not a fad.
Rest in Paradise Elvis💙
Elvis was so naturally talented it is unbelievable. It was all raw talent that made this man. He is the king. R.I.P. 💕
@MOONL⚡️GHT LOVE 💓 agree, long live the king 👑 ❤
Elvis Presley had a raw deal at the beginning and making a fool of him blaming him for everything Elvis had the last laugh a real generous person
He was 21 years old, smart, sounds so sincere and very naturally.
When the girls screamed Elvis You're the king !! he stopped the concert and said Jesus is the King.
Wink Martindale is the only living person today that was in WHBQ studio the night that "That's Alright Momma" was played for the 1st time.
Wink was the WHBQ weatherman.
He was one of a kind never be another like him 💙💙 Never will be forgotten 💙💙
What an understatement that people said Presley and his music would disappear after some time and here we are 63 years later and the King still rules . I wish those people who said that were still around to see the phenomenon the King is .
I feel the same!😉
To think he though people would be there to win a ring but really he is the reason for the concert
The young ones are discovering his music. They need to understand if he didn't come along and opened doors for undiscovered talents to come later and opened the Americans and worldwide eyes that there is black music to love and enjoy, and most importantly you can do it coming from nothing. There were people order than him then, but it was coming of age and the Revolution of music heading away from mainstream. A lot of people hate him, disrespectful to him and his music, but hey each to their own. He done nothing to none of you haters. He is humble and a well brought up young man, unlike some ignorant and Entitled brats of today. He will live on as people discovered who he was to the music world and the difference he made. Regardless how he died, that was his business. He left his music and wonderful memories behind. A true legend in music. Much RESPECT for this Gentleman. Thank you Elvis. R.I.P.☮️
I agree with you completely. If someone didn't like him they didn't have to watch him!😊
Just love this. Elvis is always a hoot, so unpretentious. Just love to hear him talk. Also had a bit of a crush on Wink when I was a kid. Great, great interview.
This was very enjoyable to listen to. Elvis is always so gracious, humble, and respectful. Elvis was such a well spoken and thoughtful speaker, there is no one now like him he was the best ever! Such a treasure! ❤
Great interview
ELVIS sounded so wonderful ♥️🥰
His future plans for his career, he was
saying he had a lot of things he still
wanted to accomplish. There wasn't
much time from 1960 to 1963, time
for him seemed to speed up, many
interruptions, and distractions came,
specifically, his future personal life,
1963.
I REALLY enjoyed listening to this. Listening to HIS VOICE & getting a glimpse into what was happening in HIS life at different points & how HE felt about everything, & how HE navigated everything with such GRACE KINDNESS & STYLE even from a VERY YOUNG age !!!
THANK you for sharing this !!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
He left A true legacy ! He gave so much to his friends and fans like jewelry , cars 🚗 money 💰 but most of all he gave us so much more . He gave us his charisma, his generosity, his talent , his beautiful looks and his humor and for this and much more you’ll always be in our hearts. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🕺🕺🎤♥️
I agree with you 💯% ... Elvis is a true legend that will live on forever in our hearts & beautiful memories, & thru
his iconic music & eternal legacy !! (he was such a generous, talented, humorous, gorgeous man ... amazing)
💜💜💜💜💜💜⚡👑⚡💜💜💜💜💜💜
So so beautiful
This is wonderful. Good sound to be from the 50's. Elvis is so sincere and humble and I think it is great that Elvis is doing fundraising no longer than he has been in the entertainment industry. I just love Elvis and I am thankful that he kept giveing until he passed away in 1977. I heard Charlie Hodge say that Elvis funded 50 businesses in Memphis alone. Most of them were for Saint Jude's, children hospitals, places that fed the homeless and hungry and places that helped the elderly, sick and those who have served in the forces so he had a heart of gold and cared about everyone that needed help. R.i.p. Elvis. There will never be anyone else like you.
Those "businesses" sound more like charities.
They were charities.
I agree completely with you!🤗
This was a treat. As old as i am i was too young to have listened in 1956. But my brother was much older and he left his 45s behind for me to play while he attended college. I played them to death. He had several Elvis 45s
Wonder who won that ring and if they still got it or even still alive by now, anyway it sure would be worth a whole lot of money where ever it is, I've never heard anybody say anything about it, but it would be cool if anyone knows anything about it would tell everyone.
I wonder who has that diamond ring Elvis gave away as a door prize.
thank you for posting this ... I was born in 56 and I never even heard of him til my mum bought ONE NIGHT WITH YOU... I was in love with him from that moment ! I guess 56 was a good year for both of us !! lol... thanks for posting... he sounded really humble and appreciative... miss him !
Brilliant interview. 10/10
Its good to hear the king talk. He was such a shy young man who loved his mother. He changed the world of music. He made the way for people like jerry Lee lewis , buddy holly, Carl Perkins, Roy orbsion , johnny cash and Ricky nelson plus the Beatles as well. A lot of young people of today forget what Elvis did for music. 👑👑👑
(deadpan) Thanks very much for sharing all of your original insights.
So true.

Thank you for posting this treasure. Its always great to watch or hear him singing , talking, laughing, and to see his smile. He was a true gem and still so sad that he's gone!😥
What did Elvis do for music. If the coronal would have left him alone me may still be alive today.
Thank you! I had heard short versions of this. He is so humble and such a great sense of humor!
Nice one, Wink, thank you!
❤️ The GOAT ❤💯🙏 amen 🎅🎄🎸🎼🎶💞
What a lovely set of interviews. Priceless. Thank you.
I enjoyed this recording, thanks!
Thank you for posting these interviews.
This was at the halfway point of his life.
you are right, he was only 21, & at age 42 he was gone 😥😥 ... no one should ever die so young ... & the loss of such a kind, generous, talented, charismatic, gorgeous, humorous man as Elvis is just pure tragedy 😥😥 .... he will be missed forever, but his iconic music & his legacy will live on for eternity !!
💜💜💜💜💜💜⚡👑⚡💜💜💜💜💜💜
So sad, but true. 42 short years
When you put it that way, it's very sad that he died so young!
HELLO FROM HOLLYWOOD JOE IN MEMPHIS , TENNESSEE !
So cute how he answers all questions - very grown up for his age. German people up to this day still love him - I'm german speaking and was born in Namibia. He was the most handsome soldier and what a marvelous voice and sweet character he had! This interview was absolutely interesting. Thank you so much!
Fantastic interview..never heard this before!
Class

Mí bello Elvis maravilloso 😍🤩😍 ya está empezando su fantástica carrera como cantante del momento y tendría mucho éxito sobre todo en sus fans 🤩😍 que le seguirán por todas partes
He sounds just like his Daddy.
Hi Wink, is this your first ever interview with Elvis? Rare gem.
I don't know if this is the first recorded one. important that he says he had no music ambitions until after high school.
Funny to hear rock and roll threatened to die. eh
I would think that his is first recorded interview would have been when" that's alright mama" first went on the radio show "red hot and blue", at WHBQ in July 7, 1954. Dewy Phillips interviewed him informally.
Doh Prize! 💍 TCB ⚡⚡⚡
Вы знаете ,что знаменитую КОЗУ🤘впервые показал не Ронни Дио из Black Sabbathв 1979 году,a Элвис Пресли в 1960 году когда вернулся из армии.Есть фото ,где он сидит в чёрном костюме и показывает Козу .Жаль что здесь нельзя выставить.
The reason i bought those cars is if one day i go broke i can sell one of em ! 😂😊❤
Mentioned touring Europe back then , let down by the phoney Colonel Sanders. Mentioned doing more acting and improving his skills in acting, let down by Colonel Sanders. You could hear in his voice that he wasn’t enjoying his draft in the army, that’s what I’m hearing.
