Elvis was a patriot! A drop dead gorgeous one.
From what I've read, behind that smile, Elvis was worried if he would still have a career after a two year absence from the public eye.
That too!
How Elvis was so young ... and already so famous. Born with a gift, singing and enchanting the world ...
Looks like elvis,vernon, and gladys are all trying not to cry.
This footage is amazing. Through this we see not the super star of the stage but a young man who seems nervous about a big moment in his life and yet manages to laugh and smile, treating everyone with respect. Elvis's charisma really shines through in this, he does not need to be putting on a show to captivate and that is the mark of someone truly special.
That’s true!
You write a great homage to my favorite person.
@@nitasheehan2704 Thank you sir.
We will never see his like again
He was a perfect combination of both.poor gladys she looked like she was really struggling, god bless her .
He loved his country. He believed that it was his duty to his Motherland. He set a good example for the younger generation.
Yes!
Elvis was respectful to everyone, police to children, where he would bend down to their level to talk with them and give time. He was close to his parents but was especially close to his mother, and he looks like a perfect blend of Vernon and Gladys to me. Elvis was a role model and a rebel.
Well said
@@ElvisistheMan_ thanks brother you too...
Most people bend down to childrens level to talk to them. If you dont youre a narcissist
Elvis was a combination of the best of Gladys and Vernon. They sure made a beautiful baby when they had Elvis. He is gorgeous.
Very touching how ELVIS loved our Country!!!!!🇺🇲❤️
Yes!
I wonder what he would think now.
Yes
Gladys she was a very lovely lady the sadness in her eyes breaks my heart. Thank you for sharing this.
No problem bro
Fantastic footage which isn’t normally shown. Privileged to have seen this, thank you . Gladys looks so beautiful in that dress and Vernon was a handsome man. You can clearly see the love Elvis has for them both and I can also see the concern on his mums face at times, knowing she isn’t going to be able to see her son for a while. So sad that Gladys passed away while Elvis wasn’t there. 😢
You made me think of something... Maybe she knew she wasn't going to live that much longer. I read she wasn't in good health and drank a lot of alcohol. I also read about her and pills.. you think she knew??
One thing about Elvis, he always had his parents nearby..the sad thing about this amazing rare video is his mom died not too long after that... you can clearly see how he resembles both his parents... 👍
Yep. 👍🏻
You can definitely see the worry in Gladys' face..I think Elvis was smiling and laughing at times to try to make the whole situation a little bit light hearted for his mother's sake...he saw how she was reacting!!!!
Exactly!
Exactly, part of his beauty always making the best of the situation!
The footage Is so amazing. He was not only a singer or a film star, he was a son of his Mother Country. Thanks David! ❤️🇮🇹
Thank YOU
I love, love, love his sense of humor! Yes, he respected law enforcement. He loved his family....for sure!! Both meant everything to him!
Probably some of the coolest footage I’ve seen!!! He did like the badge!!!
You could tell he was still just a nervous kid!!!
TCB FOREVER
Yeah you could see he was a nervous kid, TRUE
outstanding!!!!
I think this is brilliant I have seen pictures of Elvis taking the oath and on the scales and when he had his hair cut your is ace ;He couldn’t help but smile it’s his sense of humour and the camera s. On him Elvis wanted to do his time in the Army for his Country he loved America maybe that’s why he was smiling as well , what memories Thanks for sharing Always and forever The king Elvis the man 👑👑👑🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️💞💓🌏🎹
Elvis looks nervous when he was inducted in the services mother was nervous for Elvis going in service love loved law enforcement
ELVIS was so damn sexy and georgos! I never seen such a beautiful man! Love you ELVIS!
Elvis was a real man to go on.Certainly Justin Bieber, Michael Jackson, Prince, Freddy Mercury would not have made it out of boot camp.
I totally agree with that statement, I love Elvis!
Excellent video! Elvis had great respect for people and loved his family. His mother looked very sad. She was so worried about him. Very sad! Thanks.
Thanks I’m glad you liked it!
Love Elvis’s laugh! SO contagious!!
This video is great - hard to believe 23 and lived more already than most people in a lifetime and he was just beginning
He was like any normal 23 year old. He is really close to his mom, he loved his dad too. He is a young man with lots of inner energy.
Simply beautiful... Thanks for these clips 😊
With out a doubt THE best elvis channel there is. Loved this many thanks
Wow thanks!
Elvis’s dear mother was just beside herself. She recognized this was the beginning of her losing her son. Just watch how he keys into her emotions,trying to comfort her the best way he could. Her health took a “nose dive” after he left. Oh, and that “ beguiling 😊 smile! David this was so precious..and of course, the “shirtless Elvis “ . I am all smiles😊❤️❤️❤️❤️
I agree!
I can see that Elvis got a lot of his mannerisms from his dad. And, I can tell that Gladys was so upset that she couldn't even look at Elvis. I notice how Elvis keeps trying to get his mothers attention to calm her down, but she won't even look at him. But, it was a nice little insight into their family dynamic. It looks like Elvis and Vernon got along a lot better than I had always heard, and that's nice to see. Thanks to your channel I'm starting to see that almost everything I have ever heard is turning out to be a lie. Thanks again. Nice video.
I saw that too. maybe she was afraid she would cry causing him to be upset. she knew he could read her face if she just looked at him.
@@theresalee4844 I think you're right.
Did you mean everything you've heard about Elvis growing is a lie ... your right to believe that even today on you tube people still make false accusations ..lies when it comes to Elvis ..
Bless Elvis for a shy man must of been hard with all the cameras around good he laughed
man loved it-NEVER saw some that footage before! Classs thanks for posting
I've never seen some of these before. Thank you!
awesome pic I thought I saw everything relating to Elvis Thanks for making me smile
No prob glad you liked it 👍🏻
A lot of footage I’ve never seen! Excellent David and thank you for sharing!
Thank YOU!
Thanks David a lot of great footage of elvis never seen before wow what a beautiful soul elvis was just love him x ❤️ 😘
If I'm right, Vernon was 42 years old in 1958 - looks healthy and handsome
Dave, you never disappoint! Great footage. It looks like Elvis is trying to be lighthearted for the sake of his parents. We know he was very nervous, but he was not showing it. God bless him! 👑
Thank you I’m glad u like it! And yeah Elvis kept a good attitude and at the same time you could tell he was uncomfortable, which is understandable.
Yes! I so agree with you!
Elvis's Beautiful , Gorgeous Smile & his contagious laugh is always so needed. I always feel better listening to his songs & watching videos of him.❤🙏🎸🎤🎵🎼🎶
Elvis had alot of respect for everyone I 💘 seeing Gladys
Awesome footage! Yeah Elvis does look like both of them, you can see he's just like his Mom then you see he's just like his Dad! Lovely looking family, God love them ❤ Thanks for sharing the video, Stay safe Brother 👍🏻
Elvis was always funny. Actually quite interesting how relaxed Elvis always was with people. He had tremendous self confidence....though he demonstrated a good bit of stage fright. Guess it was a matter of numbers. Because with a few people...he knew he was in charge. Anyway....thanks again....really enjoy your work. As always...Love Elvis until, the end of time. Rest easy beautiful man.
Elvis presley il magnifico 👑❤🌷indimenticabile
This was fantastic footage absolute magic gigantic thumbs up this was magnificent well done and thanks for sharing 11 out of 10 it was that good 👑👑👍🇬🇧
Lovely video!!! when Gladys smiled you could see her beautiful cheekbones same as Elvis when he smiled!!
Gladys was sick already, she had been for a while., It’s a great video, god would I love to hear what they were talking about...
Kool video,never seen this footage, his mama looked so scared, Vernon looked like he was enjoying himself. Elvis was laughing cause it must of been so silly to him with cameras and the other guys looking on,must've been weird. Also I didnt know the Army didnt want to give special leave to see his mom.😥so sad.
Yeah man I’m glad u liked this video. This footage is knew to me as well.
I think Vernon was proud of his son! Just think how he must have felt being with Gladys dying and he also probably wished Elvis could come home. He might have even thought if Elvis could come home on leave maybe it might have saved her. We know now it was too late.. idk I know how I felt losing my mom a year ago. I can't imagine if I had been in the army and they tried to say I couldn't go home!!! AWOL for real...
@@theresalee4844 so sad😢sorry for your loss.
@@dragonone8778 Thank you.. it is hard. I just want to call her.. the only way I have coped is knowing her blood is in my body. Just lately I have found meditation a way to get my mind to stop going 100mph! Still I have to listen to different ones hoping I find the one for me.. thank you for caring.. goodnight n sweet dreams..
@@theresalee4844 your welcome,I wouldn't know how to go about giving advice,but the fact that your reahing out and communicating with people says alot about your strength. David's channnel is bringing a special group of people together who have a common interest, we love Elvis and the videos he posts we enjoy. Elvis' songs are so comforting it talked about what me the average person goes through Love,Loss and God. No one interpret it better than Elvis. I hope David decides to make his videos longer.
Omg ❤ What a beautiful beautiful looking man! God broke the mould when he made Elvis... ❤❤
Elvis le plus grand artiste que notre terre est connu❤️
Cool video David thank you
Glad you liked it
Hi David,
What an amazing piece of footage. Yes I agree he has the utmost respect for the law. I found it funny when he began to laugh and had to stop himself.
I think he keeps looking on his mom to check on her. Thanks David xxx 💝
This made me sad. I saw that look on both of their faces. Gladys was sad and Elvis was worried about his mom. I wish he never had to go because Gladys might have lived longer if Elvis hadn't had to go in the army. I saw the look you called a smile. I saw a nervous grin if u can call it a grin... If Elvis was laughing you would have seen the look on his face that every Elvis fan knows. Thank you for letting us see what he had to do. But all I could think about was they were getting ready to get his hair cut. 😢 I'm happy he served his country I just wish it never happened..
Ha! So cute trying not to laugh. 😆 Thanks for this incredible video.
I really felt sorry for his mom she looks so very sad I felt her pain knowing her beautiful son was going into the army it's hard to see her like that but she still managed to smile bless her he looked so hamsom in is uniform and he was very proud to surve his country his dad was very proud of him you could see that so was is mom she was just worried about him being her only child loved the video thanks for sharing this 👍☺️
Great video ! So sad to see him with his parents they looked like they were having a hard time , beautiful family .
Wow that's awesome, seeing him with his mum and dad was priceless 😍😍great video really enjoyed it 💞❤️🦋
Did you notice when Elvis was filling the form in he stopped and wiped his eye he did that in a interview I think it’s a shy thing he was quite shy when he was younger watch the interview in the blue suite he does the same thing , Elvis s mother and father where nice looking he is like both of them, Elvis always worried that his fans would forget him when he went in the Army but we didn’t we loved him and followed him through the Army and we still love him in 2021 we will never forget him the king 👑 Elvis the man forever and always greatest of all time brilliant video thanks love it 👑👑👑👑👑💕⭐️☀️🌟💎😥😥😥♥️♥️🌹🕯🕯💔💔💔💔👑👑🕯
Every smile from both Elvis and his parents they smiled to keep from crying that was a sad day for them all . His girlfriend Anita Woods said many tears was shedded on that day , before that day and after the year their lives changed.
Elvis worshipped his mother and she did him, I believe she was heartbroken and stressed when he went overseas and that brought on her heart issues and death. Elvis was never the same after his mother died, she was 42 and he was in his early 20s. Rest In Peace Elvis...you changed the world.
I so agree with you!
Great footage and most of it I had never seen before...I really appreciate that.
Thanks David, u are doing a great service 🙌
Thank you!
Love love love this!
It pisses me off to think the army thing was just a ploy to make the teens forget Elvis. He was a big threat to society
I think you’re right
Those 2 gorgeous smiles when his face is lightening and is as cute as ever lightens my heart. Trying to capture them cause I haven't found a picture of him smiling that way ever again.
Then you didn't see him when Lisa Marie was born.
@@theresalee4844 thanks then I'll look for them .
Thank You for bringing up that he looks like Both his parents because No one Ever talks about it! I do think he more favors his Mama
There's a part in the full video where he's combing his hair-- his ducktail- and all the guys just look at him- it was hilarious- the expressions on their faces-- and in one part, this little guy w glasses next to him kind of smirks at the camera and moves his eyebrows up and down as If saying, "Wow, I'm literally rt next to Elvis Presley"- lol....
The full footage is on RUclips! Its My Favorite!!! Love seeing him like this
thanks for putting this video together take care yours from england
You too!
I think Elvis was eyeing up that cops hat! 😂 Cool stuff. I would so have hated to have been photographed/filmed in my underpants though! They could have gave him a little privacy whilst going through his medical. Guess they thought the girls would love it!
Love the bit with his parents, notice how he glances every now and then at his mom, like he's making sure she's ok. It's touching to see.
He was a little nervous I think, I think that's why he's laughing I think it's maybe a nervous laugh mixed with excitement ... I don't know. I do know if it had of been me I'd been crapping myself!! 😂
He excelled in the army didn't he?
It's a shame he's mom passed during that period.
I love seeing footage of him with his parents. It's nice to see him with his family.
I remember loving seeing the army footage as a kid, boy did I swoon! It's that smile...maybe it's everything...he's the man!!! Most importantly he was just a man, a man who served his country well, job as always well done, Elvis! 👍😎
He got his beautiful bone structure from his father,and those “soulful eyes from his mother.i read somewhere that she couldn’t wait for the day that she would see Elvis’s “little one “ running up the driveway” at Graceland 😞
What a beautiful family really.
I've never seen them clips before thanks for posting them. You could probably see more Elvis looks in Vernon.
Great footage... but kind of sad watching him be subjected to the camera while undergoing what must have been a fairly traumatic event for he and his family (even for non-celebrities).
I know!
Love this one! Thank you!
That is so sad for his mum she looked so sad cc he was nervous that's why he nearly laughed I bet he felt uncomfortable with the camera on him xcx
I think it was to avoid a tear! Elvis would never have let a tear fall anyway but I have smiled or laugh to keep from crying. He was torn because he was going to miss his mother.. such a good son. That's our Elvis the Man! ❤️
Thank for another great video!!
👍🏻
Thank you very much david, for The video of the GOAT ❤💯🙏 amen Rip Elvis, Gladys, Vernon, God bless you David, please be safe and careful stay healthy 😷🤒🇵🇷🇺🇸🌹⚡ TCBTLC ⚡
Couldn't even undress in peace Lol
I wonder where that jacket is
Awesome work good upload keep up the good work
Great video. I've only seen a snippet of this on TV years ago. Thanks for sharing.
Daniel thanks ❤.
Right at the height of his fame and progress, he was drafted into the army for two years! he went to Europe, but before he finished his service, he did not go anywhere in Europe except Paris, and never performed outside of the United States except once in Canada. I just can't deal with that, he is very sad as well as his parents, especially his poor mom, Elvis was always used and abused by the whole system and those around him.
He went to Munich twice.
@@dekerivers5798 He went to Germany with the army and of course Munich is one of the cities of Germany, I mean other European countries and I do not think he has ever traveled to Asia, Africa, South America or Australia, how is it possible?! my father at the age of 19 traveled almost all over the world! He is now 75 years old.
Also, in the 2nd part of the Chicago Archives film-- it says 8/22/58...I wonder if that's when he released it...since induction was in March
Very, very nice and good sun Elvis!!!!
God how I love this ...
Maravilha de fase de ELVIS com os pais dele..🎼🎙🎶🎶🥀🥀♥️♥️♥️💋💋🎁🎁💋💋🥀🥀🎶🎶🎙🎼🎼🎆🎵🎼🎆🎙🎼🎆🎶🎶🥀🥀🎶🎶🎆
I dont know if you have or not but maybe you could talk about elvis's movies
fyi I actually kinda like Clambake 1967
It sucks man. The govt came in and stopped Elvis at the height of his career because they wanted to try to stop the Rock and Roll take over and him as well, and to show everyone they are in control. Its quite sad. Anyone can tell that their family were trying to put on a face, but were truly hurt by all the change and he's poor mother, she looked like she had not slept in days. Elvis, his father and mother looked very sad by all this.
Yes i think it was a plan to stop rock and roll
The other guys reactions haha
He did not have to go in. He was the only son from his family.
Elvis♡ un joven con mucha determinación que enfrentó con mucha responsabilidad todos sus desafíos. Como hijo, como artista y también con su país. Fantástico ! Gracias por compartir estas imágenes ! Paty.-
So young and healthy here! And his poor mom so sad...she was so worried about him going into the Army ❤️. Priscilla’s life was about to change for sure (don’t attack me just stating a fact ;)
Elvis stands out as clear as anything compaied to the other man here .. Elvis was and is unique and there is n0 getting away from that fact
Although this was the proudest day for Elvis,s parents , for Gladys especially it was a day of great anguish, wondering what dangers her son could be facing on this next journey in his life. As we know sadly she passed just before he was sent to Germany, but i too heard of a rumour where it was said, The Col was behind getting him sent there so he could get him away from his mum,s influences. The Col and Gladys never saw eye to eye, she didn't like the world The Col had gotten him involved with, she actually gave an interview to a fan club lady in 1956 telling her of her fears and how it wasn't what she wanted for Elvis, she even wanted him to quit and settle down with a wife a children.
I think Elvis would gladly have Given it all up if he thought it would have saved his mothers life, he did everything for his parents to have a better life especially his beloved mother and I think he lived with the guilt of causing her the stress which ultimately led to her untimely and sad passing.
I actually felt for Elvis and the other men around him in these videos, that day was a very private and personal day to them all and to have have the multitude of press reporters and cameramen shoved in their faces was quite intrusive. You can fully understand why Elvis didnt want any preferential treatment, these men were going to be his "pals" colleagues, and confidants for the next 2 plus years he needed them onside not thinking he was better than them , of course Col only ever saw Elvis as his commodity so even a day as special and sacred as this this meant only lucre to him.
As for Elvis,s cheeky grin in the videos just his own way of masking his nervousness and the gravity of the situation, at the same time trying to lighten the load of worry etched across Gladys, s face. He knew how much she worried about him even though she tried to mask it from him.
His girlfriend Anita was with him this day, and although she spent time with him when did his training, The Col forbid her to go out to visit him whilst in Germany she was all set to go apparently , , the very person I think he should have had with him especially after losing his mum just before he was posted there. The Elvis story we know from then on could have been an entirely different one, all supposition now though.
had Elvis not been granted sp ecial leave to see his mum when she was ill in hospital , would he have gone AWOL, to true he would, his mother meant more to him than anyone or anything.
To the various comments on here who think Elvis,s close relationship wuth his mum prevented him from having a normal relationship with women, I personally think quite the opposite. Gladys instilled into him, respect for women, the sanctity of marriage and th e importance of family, he had way too much respect for her to disregard her wishes or let her down. Elvis said himself that when was first married and subsequently a father were the happiest he'd ever been and how proud his mum would of been of him.
As with everything in Elvis,s life, his master , sorry manager was always the one pulling the strings.
Wow! All I could do was shake my head up and down all thru this comment. You are spot on!! Thanks for saying all the words I wish I could have said but I did my best. Thank you for putting this in it's proper perspective! I can tell you are a true Elvis fan. You have my respect!
@@theresalee4844 thanks Theresa, have you ever visited the RUclips channel called. Scotty,s Elvis Presley Music Channel. There's a series of videos on there at the moment called looking through his eyes, well worth a watch, I too comment on there. Stay safe and well
Great video,Never saw this footage,
Believe he did resemble them both,Vernon was a good singer too,Heard a taped performance of him ,No training and he sounded good
After drafting Elvis the army wanted him in special services as a promotional tool. The security costs of keeping Elvis as a regular soldier was too high. Elvis was willing to accept that. The Col's whole strategy, however, was based on Elvis being a regular soldier so he went as high as the Pentagon to assure that. That's what I read
Can u explain that more? I know they wanted Elvis to perform and entertain but Elvis just wanted to be a regular soldier, but I haven’t heard what you’ve said
@@ElvisistheMan_ They wanted him in special forces where he could perform and promote the army among young men so that they would join. There was a meeting between Elvis, Vrrnon and the Col. where he explained that he was going to turn Elvis' army stint into a great career move. But for the plan to work he would have to go as a regular soldier. Elvis was uncertain but Vernon agreed with the Col. The special services were seen as a way for celebrities to cop out. So Elvis got several offers from different branches but the Col told that there was nothing he could do because Elvis had made up his mind. Actually, it was the Col's idea 😆. I read it in a book called "Down at the end of lonely street"
The other guys look so Plain Next to him..lol..his Mom looks A bit thinner and Sad..I wonder what Elvis said to her
Gladys was a tall lady
What happened the jacket?
He was a conservative patriot who kept his politics to himself like a good celebrity should.
