He wasn't lynched but he was burned in effigy. The rumors of racism broke his heart and it would probably interest you to know that Elvis was a mix of many different ethnicities and cultures including Jewish ancestry and Native American ancestry. He was a poor boy in 1950s South who was raised in a black neighborhood with Jewish and Native American blood yet he's been branded a racist!
That's a rumor that he was of Jewish ancestry. The Memphis Mafia was pretty much Jewish people. Elvis maybe had Jewish heritage but it would have been way back and it was such a tiny amount that it would barely show on a DNA test. He identified with Jewish people because practically everyone around them was Jewish which is why he put the star on his tombstone or rather had it put on his tombstone. He's just a white guy with Native blood and a good suntan with dyed hair that could sing his rear end off better than probably anybody that's done it. I have Jewish blood for my grandparent and I did a lot of research on Elvis to find out if this was just a rumor or if there was any truth to it. Mostly UK and all the areas within UK would be his ancestry. Scottish, Irish in northwestern European. I wondered because again I have Jewish blood and obviously I wanted to find out if the guy was Jewish or had any close relatives who were but it is explained in lots of books and documentaries or even little RUclips clips why he associated with the Jewish people but not really the religion itself. I had no clue that all those guys around him and playing instruments were majority Jewish. I could tell by some of the names but it was only in this search trying to find out if Elvis was a member of the tribe that I found out about his bandmates and some of his very closest friends. Esposito is a Jewish name but a lot of people think it is Italian. It's like some people think Shapiro is an Italian name but it's actually a Jewish name. I'm sure he probably has some Native American in him because just about everybody from the southeast have some Cherokee in their veins. I think he's like most Americans and it's just a Heinz 57 but regardless of his different mixed ethnic back ground, he still was able to perform unlike anyone that I personally ever seen and I'm a young guy in school. Peace
It's sad how the black artists from Elvis own era loved and appreciated him and then long after he was gone we have something like public enemy saying what a racist Elvis was.
Chuck D grew up after Elvis passed, all he knew first hand was what others in his neighborhood, who also grew up after Elvis’ time, were saying. Likewise, Public Enemy was fueled politically by the crack epidemic and urban decay of the 80s, to them Elvis represented “the establishment”. To be clear, Chuck D is dead wrong about Elvis, but I understand how he ended up thinking this way.
I think flava flave mentioned something about being told about the "shoeshine rumor" from the Sepia Magazine rumor. They believed that unanimous article over Louie Robinson's interview. I guess alot of people did. Its like supposedly Quincey Jones being told by Tommy Dorsey (who had Elvis on his Stage Show 6 times) that Elvis was a racist mfer, and that was he didn't work with him.
At his funeral, Mohammad Ali gave his eulogy, calling him the greatest musician the same way he was the greatest boxer. Referred to him as the kindest and most loving person you could have hoped to know. They vacationed together, Ali gave him a copy of the keys to his vacation home. At Ali's home turned into a museum, there are photos of the two of them with their families vacationing together. The idea that anyone believes he held animosity for black people. Yeesh.
Because of a journalistic piece that lied think was called The Sepia. The Jim Crow crew probably planted it. How can a man sing 'If I can dream' regards to MLK & Kennedys assassination and also the song The Ghetto, where he grew up.
@@hellsunicorn "Chuck D is dead wrong about Elvis" He was, he's said so himself.
"So love your brother along the way, no matter where he starts.
For the same god that made you, made him too"
- Elvis Presley
One of my favourite quotes from Elvis.
Elvis is the reason the term, "GOAT'" was invented.
Elvis' Mother was pregnant only once and it was with twin boys. Elvis was healthy but his twin brother, Jesse Garon, was stillborn. Losing his brother stayed with him and his family always.❤❤🙏🙏🙏
When the Elvis song " That's All Right Mamma " made it on the radio it was like nothing else on the air , others were singing soft romantic tunes . Teenagers were jolted by him but adults especially narrow minded ones like you saw in the video wanted him off the air , but he stayed true to himself and he opened the doors to many talented African American artist who before Elvis got very limited playing time on mainstream radio .
Elvis opened the door for alot of black music. He was so generous and loving
Elvis was a great man with a heart of gold.He loved everyone.I’m so glad these documentaries are out there,he was loved by many !!!
He adored Black culture from his suits, his hip sway, his singing, his swagger. To him we were all brothers. Love him. Wish we had more artists like him today who would use their voice to speak up about current social issues and injustices.
The great legends of color in his era: BB King - Jackie Wilson - James Brown were there to witness Elvis‘ creativity. He was a one-of-a-kind super talent that grew up in the black community during the great depression and segregation in the deep South. His support for the civil rights movement is not known by the greater population in America. This movie is going to examine this part. This is why almost all black musicians from that era absolutely loved Elvis because he was able to take that Memphis sound all around the country and then the world. Little Richard credited Elvis Presley multiple times for opening up the door for black music and creating a path that he could travel and so he could make his mark. Clearly a terribly racist time Elvis put poverty and racial socialization on his platform. But he did it all through Music and his behind the scenes actions alone. He never got political I think that’s what actually made him so powerful and able to succeed.
BB KING: 'Let me tell you the definitive truth about Elvis Presley and racism', The King of the Blues, B.B. King said in 2010. 'With Elvis, there was not a single drop of racism in that man. And when I say that, believe me I should know'. -- BB KING
One can place Roy Hamilton in this group which Elvis admire as well.
@@victorcowboywest Oh definitely. Elvis really admired Roy Hamilton.
Thanks for sharing!
Exactly.
I grew up in Memphis and Elvis was just always a good kind person who always brought joy. Did y'all know Elvis was born a twin, but his brother Jesse died at birth.
Part 2 includes an interview with Whitney Houston. Her mother was a backup singer for Elvis when she was part of the Sweet Inspirations. Elvis bought a house for his cook who was black. He sang gospel with James Brown. There is a tribute to Elvis in the Part 2 of Elvis and the Black Community.
Elvis used his platform to make everything better.. It's just so sad that he died so young.
In the end, he was just a sweet, sincere guy, years ahead of his time. 😎🥃
Its wonderful for people to see what a wonderful human being Elvis was. thank you for taking the time to watch this video.
Brilliant reaction. Love seeing the truth come about this man and his genuine love for people of all races. He never forgot where he came from and they were right in saying he was a black man in a white mans body. He learnt everything from those he grew up with in the black community - so cool. You guys rocked again
Thanks,Matthew!
Elvis was the bridge for black music to enter white homes in a time of huge racial division in America.
But WHAT did black artists in the black community say about Elvis? Here are FIVE of the VERY biggest names:
Muhammad Ali : "People didn't realize what they had till it's gone. Like President Kennedy, there was no one like him, my man Elvis Presley. Elvis was my close personal friend. He came to my Deer Lake training camp about two years before he died. He told us he didn't want nobody to bother us. He wanted peace and quiet and I gave him a cabin in my camp and nobody even knew it. When the cameras started watching me train, he was up on the hill sleeping in the cabin. Elvis was my close personal friend. He had a robe made for me. I don't admire nobody, but Elvis Presley was the sweetest, most humble and nicest man you'd want to know. "
JAMES BROWN: “I wasn’t just a fan, I was his brother. He said I was good and I said he was good; we never argued about that. Elvis was a hard worker, dedicated, and God loved him … I love him and hope to see him in heaven. There’ll never be another like that soul brother”. --- JAMES BROWN (During Elvis' private family wake, James was the LAST ONE TO LEAVE. 3 and a half hours later -- it took several of his security guards to help him out of the room. James was devastated -- they sang Gospel together to all hours of the night at each others' homes. James Brown was considered family by the Presley they were so close.)
JACKIE WILSON: "A lot of people have accused Elvis of stealing the black man's music, when in fact, almost every black solo entertainer copied from Elvis." --- JACKIE WILSON (Elvis quietly paid for Jackie's medical expenses until the day he passed away in 1977. Before Jackie's stage accident he would carry a small signed photo of Elvis in his pants pocket. Every day, bar none.)
RANDY JACKSON (of the Jackson 5): "Elvis used Rock and Roll music to bridge the gap between whites and minorities. He was a wonderful person."
LITTLE RICHARD "He sung my Tootie Fruti & by him singing it, made it bigger & made ME bigger" And then he said: “I thank God for Elvis Presley. I thank the Lord for sending Elvis to open the door so I could walk down the road...”- Little Richard
Tutti Frutti.
Ray Charles didn't find him a genius. That is all I will say.
@@kimakotrotman6860 Ray Charles couldnt see. You cant judge Elvis Presley without sight and expect to understand his talent. Ray was also a very bitter man at this point in his life
@@depper He had ears. Those aren't prejudiced.
@@kimakotrotman6860 But Ray's MOUTH and soul was prejudiced, clearly as we could see here.
One the entertainers talking about Elvis during this doc was legendary singer, Sammy Davis Jr. Someone mentioned about James Brown. After Elvis died in 1977, James Brown was alone sitting towards Elvis' coffin before pallbearers took the coffin to be buried at cemetery in Memphis, but he was re buried at his estate of Graceland with his parents. Fact is 3 Grammys that Elvis won in his lifetime were for Gospel Music. Elvis have been inducted into many as 23 Halls of Fame.
Thanks for sharing!
Elvis is one of the most famous people in music history, & no doubt, one of the most talented, however his heart & love for humanity, is his legacy 💚💜💗💚💜
Yes Elvis had lots of close friends like Muhammad Ali. His Cook, A black lady is on RUclips talking about what Elvis gave her a house and a car. Many people he gave houses and cars and jewellery to, black people alike, didn't make any difference to him. You're both a nice couple. Thanks for reviewing his songs.
Elvis once performed in a small bar because he and Muhammad were driving around and Muhammad dared him to do it.
There's always gonna be haters. Some folk still want to put him in a bad light. But these African Americans, we're saying a whole different tune about Elvis. He never said he was the king of Rock-and-roll, other people did. He loved the black community, he loved black Christian music, and other styles of African American music.
Elvis said the king of rock and roll was Fats Domino.
Without Elvis, there would be no song 'in the ghetto', so it's right he should be included in that video!!
"so help a brother along the way, for the same God that made you made him, Oh men of broken hearts" - Elvis Presley
"We loved Elvis and Elvis loved us." (Shake Rag receives it's Mississippi Blues Trail Mark at Tupelo Mississippi @4:30), Baz Luhrmann's interview with Sam Bell, Louie Robinson's interview with Elvis (which should have been on the cover) "The truth about that Elvis Presley rumor." ( Jet Magazine August 01, 1957) The Ernest Withers's photos of Elvis and the legends at both the 1956 WDIA Goodwill Revue where he thanked BB King for those early lessons, and the 57 Goodwill Revue where he could have performed at against RCA. and the "The Rock and roll phenomenon cracked Memphis's segregation laws." (Memphis World News June 1956) pinterest has the photos. Never understood why people tried to make him into someone that hated people, whom he admired, and loved.
Thank you. This made me cry. The lady that said she didn't want him on television also said that she watched him.
SHE LIKE THAT ...
❤❤
Elvis interviews are also a great watch! There’s one from 1972 I believe and someone asks him about performers at present and he says ‘ I was tame compared to what they do now… all I did was jiggle’ and then someone shouts out ‘give us a jiggle’ 😂
There is also an interview done with a gentleman who was a childhood friend of Elvis’ when he was a poor boy living in an all black neighborhood. I believe the interviewer was the gentleman who wrote the most recent Elvis movie. It is very interesting and all that information was almost lost because Elvis’ friend died a short time after the interview. It is available on RUclips because that is where I saw it.
You guys are a beautiful couple now you see why we still love this man even today Elvis was a beautiful man inside and out and very generous and humble and just gave from his heart
Thank you!
My man Elvis beautiful inside and out and such a kind generous soul
Evis him self came the dirt poor from the ghetto his self and he never forgot where he came from
Elvis don't get the recognition he deserves, hope the new movie will help
Awesome reaction guy’s 👍 There’s a part 2 as well 👍☺️
Bad Hair Day? I LOVE that cap! Hahaha We all need a hat just like that! ;)~~~ THANK you for doing this video. You are the players in this and the next generation, without your voice, Elvis is no more. His message was SO vital then and even MORE VITAL today. The world has no voices like this anymore, but he can STILL IMPACT US TODAY. THANK YOU again. The world needs MORE LOVE.
I got few bad hairday hats lol
I need this hat in every color😂
Thanks so much for your support & sharing gems with us!
Jame Brown was devastated when Elvis died. He said Elvis was his soul brother.
He hated being called the King he said the only King is Jesus Christ
It’s sad and racism still goes on today.Wish we could all just get along.The way he sang,danced,etc….he lived with so much negativity.Like Elvis said he isn’t doing anything wrong.
For several years in the late 50s the music section of the Britannica Year Book used a paragraph to rant about Elvis Presley.
Elvis used to get mad and he shot TV's. If something was said about him that he didn't like... Bring in a new TV. He did have some gangster in him. His Body guard Red West had to take control of his pistol a few times. There is a great Bio about Elvis out there.
Love that Elvis wasn’t one to see color. Appreciate you guys.
❤❤
This was a great reaction! You guys are awesome! With the new movie coming out, I have seen the negativity come out and it’s so sad. People stick with a rumor/what they have heard and don’t research to see if it’s actually true. It’s hurtful to Elvis & his legacy.
We're glad you enjoyed it!
Worth a listen... Suspicious Minds... I think it was his Vegas show... he has a white jumpsuit on... his stage presence is electric, the BAND SMOKES IT (concentrate on the bass and drums !!) He flirts with his singers (at least one of them, the same one that was interviewed here).... you will smile the ENTIRE time...
Thank you guys for watching Elvis the video✌️😂😂😂🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
They tried to get rid of him but we all loved him. The young me, I watched him from the time I was 7.
I have his scarf from 1972❤❤❤and Autograph...THE KING🎙🎶
Amazing! How have you preserved it?
@@TheDemouchetsREACT like wedding dress..in a box😁
He never forgot his roots. He was a beautiful human being
Great video guys,
Really enjoyed this.
Elvis is amazing and was never racist, quite the opposite.
Really enjoyed this, thank you both xxx 💝
The beautiful thing about Elvis was he looked at the person. Not their color.
James Brown attended Elvis' funeral & lingered around his body, mourning, crying & praying for Hours; they used to sing gospel together at the Piano 🎹 🎙 ✝️
Long live the king of rock n roll and everything else. TX. Good night Graceland. Peace
New to your channel and being a 77 year old white guy from integrated suburb community I remember when Buddy Holly was the first white group performed at the Appollo Theater in 1957. Gary Busey played this part in the movie. There is a video of this called Buddy Holly At Appollo 57, this shows me music knows no color, especially living in the shadow of MOTOWN. Would love to see your reaction. Thank you.
Not sure of it's been said but that female background singer is Whitney Houston's mom!!!
Love her!
As a music historian I can tell U back at that time when rocknroll started to take off big time 1955/56 the older generations & authorities couldn't handle the new music for teenagers because they had grown up with the tame easy listening music of the 30s & 40s compared to the wilder noisey rock,n,roll music loved by the teenagers of the day which was stupid because u can't stop the progress of music.So when the young Elvis hit the scene it was more than there backwards minds could handle & puritanical groups tried to get him banned especially on TV.
My grandmother was into the swing jazz/big band music of the 30s and 40s, and she told me that back in those days the older folks viewed swing as noise. The generation gap is a real phenomenon, especially when it comes to music.
@@hellsunicorn Yes you're right.The Roaring 20s were considered scandalous by the previous generations.Music is a funny thing.each new generation tend to frown upon new music styles coming in.Did u know there's a Hillbilly version of Elvis classic Lonesome Tonight sung by the Carter Family 1936 sung at 3 times the speed of the ELV one with an extra verse.The original song dates back to 1926/27.Its good to have a wide taste in music.There are good songs & singers in all generations.All the best.
The reaction to the guy throwing the record!😂😂😂
Elvis, the Beatles, the Rolling Stone, and many more told the public how much they loved, Chuck Berry,Little Richard, Wilson Pickett, and many more black artists, it was their managers that didn't want the public to know how much the white singers loved are music. Music is music, it's good for your spirit 😌
Elvis started rock n roll.
Love it. Thanks.
Rock and roll was born out black music, that's what they didn't like. Muddy Waters has a song that says it all called The Blues had a Baby and they named that baby Rock and Roll, check it out
I love that old preacher!!
There is a part 2 to this. Good reaction.
Love you guys, you are so real in a world of fake. Thank you.
💯 Thanks for your love!
Your very welcome, praying you have tons of success.
@@henrystafford2570 ❤❤
You're correct that white allies were lynched in the 1950s. Death threat notes, bricks through the windows, cross burnings on the lawn, getting beat up (but Elvis was a karate black belt so he would've won a fight easily), and murder were absolutely things that were done to white so-called 'traitors.' While the NAACP was integrating schools, Elvis was trying to integrate music. He did it really well because he was a great person, a great singer, and was someone who understood the culture. White covers of Black songs back then were often bordering on cultural appropriation because they made the songs sound the way white music sounded.
They still talk this way in the South! Thank you very much.
Talk what way?
Y’all beautiful
just shows the cancel culture has always been there but really wasn't ever followed or listened to lol honoured and loved growing up listening to a real legend... great reaction love your reaction clips
yes it's amazing no one killed him.
The term “rock and roll” didn’t exist before Elvis, if I’m not misty. White America had a problem with it because his music was deeply influenced/steeped in R&B (or “black music”) and he whipped all of their daughters into a frenzy, the likes of which had never been seen before.
And it wasn't just their daughters, their sons started to idolize him too. They wanted to dress like him, walk like him, talk like him, etc. He was a force of nature no one had experienced before.
Love your reaction channel. Check out part 2.
Thank you! Will do!
Watch an Elvis video for the song called If I Can Dream If yall ain't yet. Was written in 1968 after MLK and Robert Kennedy were assassinationed.
ruclips.net/p/PLycUc8cOIl8P6jzpNHAzpw2Ql31g494Sg
I love your thoughts on the video, to see your perspective as most of us see it, those that didn't were blind. Love your reaction
Thanks so much, Shawn!
Rock was rap in those days, they hated it. Elvis helped bridge the gap and bring rock into the mainstream thanks to all the young female fans.
Elvis also loved to gift people Cadillacs and firearms lol just paid off gifts
Loved your reaction and all you had to say.
You guys are super Awesome. Love and best wishes from the UK.
YOU are awesome! Thanks so much!
A great reaction!👍
Big hello from brazil see people talking about elvis its fake news that elvis was racist with black folks or latins like me he loved music and sang if loved the music
Hello!! I agree ❤
Now you have to react to pt.2 .much love to you and your family 💕Brandi Modrak 💕
Thanks for the love! Turn on your post notification bell. 😊
I wish you could do John F. KENNY. He went against a whole town to get young black man in College even got army, natl. Guard involved. Also gave first black man a Job in White House.
Jamie Foxx played Stevie Wonder in an SNL sketch where he has eye surgery and is shocked at how his hair looks in the mirror. classic Jamie lol
I want you to react with reality, we each have our own feelings, and we deserve to have them.
now back to your reaction
It was not Ray Charles. It was Stevie Wonder.
Jamie Foxx played Ray Charles.
@@TheDemouchetsREACT you are correct it was ray charles to my knowledge there hasn't been a movie of little richard
There is a part 2. You should watch it also.
If they would have been around in the 70s, they would have had a heart attack! All bent out of shape over a little hip shaking? Lol No wonder the hippies did all they did. Individuality, creativity, according to 1950s America had to be squashed. Wow, such a crazy time. Glad I missed it! Great Reaction, enjoyed it.
Riiiight! They wouldn't have been able to handle it. We're glad you enjoyed our reaction.
There's a part 2 of this also
Besides this video, she is right about Jamie Foxx portrayed Ray Charles in 2004. Jamie Foxx won an Oscar for Best Actor from the movie, Ray. Ray Charles was still living until June of 2004. Movie was released in Oct of 2004. I believed Ray Charles visited the set during filming of Ray.
The American society was still VERY "old fashioned" right into the 1960's ....... Elvis "The Pelvis" Presley was considered obscene by the older crowd .................. That same older age group was also outraged in those days by those 'filthy' long haired Beatles from England - kids loved the Beatles. I remember that many parents hated their lyrics, such as "I love you, Baby, ya, ya, ya" ...... Yes, that was considered too spicy for some !!! ................ (And big families were common in those days, because birth control did not really exist until the 1970's.) ....................
❤ it was Stevie wonder at the beginning. Not Ray
...ok...now: part 2 Elvis and the Black community.
There is actually a part 2 to this video...it would be nice if you checked it out.
A lot of people today came from Melungeons my family included so this whole race thing of people hating was confusing? In the 1600-1700’s 200k people in this country was from the melungeons and they averaged about 10 kids per family
Elvis learned music growing up in a poor black community and invented rock n roll. He was influenced by musicians like BBKing and put his own twist on it.
R&B music was not the same as it is today. Here's a short little video of the original version of "Hound Dog" by "Big Mama Thornton" This is a good example of how Rock & Roll evolved from Black R&B and "Elvis" was one of the first. ruclips.net/video/wxoGvBQtjpM/видео.html
oops... i stand corrected. dont know how i got ray stevens???????????? i of course meant ray charles. step away from the beer! sorry
Steve Wonder
Morgan wallen dropped a new one - Don’t think Jesus 🔥
Mississippi was born in tupelo.
In other words, they want you to give them the reaction, they need; like giving them what they want to hear.
ray stevens.
That was indeed Stevie, not Ray Charles...
Its corrected in the video. Jamie Foxx played Ray Charles, NOT Stevie Wonder.
