Elvis Presley - Memphis Tennessee (take 1, 1964)

- Here's take 1 of Elvis' 1964 studio recording of Chuck Berry's Memphis Tennessee, set to photos of Elvis out and about in Memphis from the 50s to the 70s and performing in 61, 74, 75 and 76, plus a few photos I took during my most recent visit in 2017.
Just to reconfirm the first photo is not a fake. This is a message today from Linda Thompson -"Yes it is absolutely real"
People might have thought it fake because it obviously wasn’t taken in 1964.
@@douglas61920 the song is 64, photos from 50s-70s
@@rickeap Really? I never heard of that song before.
Thanks for the correction
@@xlbubblehead2505 Who hasn’t?
@@xlbubblehead2505 yes the photo in the car yard is from July 1975. Some happy car sellers that day!
Could you even imagine a world if Elvis never existed ? He wasn't just an entertainer, he was a phenomenon
Yes. Soon. I was just talking about this very subject with my partner the other day (considering incidentally). And my generation (58) although not born at the top of The Kings rise and height, seem to be the last ‘really’ n to him. Millennials and zoomers just do not seem to care (yes there exceptions but I mean in the general wholesale way). I think he will had faded for most within 20 years.
@@xr6lad I agree. Imagine a world where Irving Berlin never existed. Or Stephen Foster. Humans have short attention spans and do not learn from history in the long-term.
I still listen to Elvis and watch his movies
and nobody cares what you do, why would you think anyone came here to hear what Leo does?
God bless him. Controlled by the Colonel and died from drugs, such a tragic loss. Will always sing the songs and perpetuate his memory.
What a Huge Icon!! Look at us he's been gone now for 45 years! And we Still can't get enough of the Man! Oh!! Excuse Me! " THE KING"
I’m not a diehard fan but you’ve just gotta love him, such a unique singer and performer. In fact I probably love him more than I realise 👌
Escuchalo más y verás como cuando conectes , lo pondrás donde está.No es el Rey por gusto.
@@gonzalovelazquez6015 I do apologize but my Spanish isn’t very good, I only understand a little bit
What do we all have in common >>> Elvis fans and an appreciation of how this man could sing any type of songs and a great entertainer. No one has come close to this guy. I hope the New movie does him justice and opens up to a new audience of Elvis fans who then need to stat looking at his past movies and concerts to see just how good he was and what an influence he had on the entire world. He went from a skinny poor boy to a handsome mature man that most women wanted
you forgot fat and drug filled, why is that?
his voice never failed him, how well could you have handled his success ?

Elvis Presley is the greatest entertainer ever and no one is even close to him.
George, you are so right.....
Absolutely Right
I think Sammy Davis has that title.
Played every instrument and sang better!
Prince and Michael Jackson
Justin Bieber
My parents saw him not long before he died. I’m glad they did.
@@MamaBear59 I wish I had that opportunity
I had an opportunity to see Elvis in early 1977 the tickets were $17.50 for a guy making minimum wage $2.30 per hour that was a fortune, so I passed a few months later he was dead.
By the way there is a tribute artist headlining at Elvis' hotel in Las Vegas the old Interernational hotel, now call the Westgate, same showroom same show it is sold out nightly, so successful it was just extended to July 2025. Las Vegas is my hometown, if you are in town it may be worth your time.
@@gradywilson9213 I'm going to be in Vegas (from Australia) in October and will visit the Westage
@@rickeap October will be a good time, it is stifling hot here now. Keep in mind the temperature in the desert drops as much as 20 degrees after the sun goes down, bring a light jacket so you don't have to waste money on buying one.
You have probably been here before, just bear with me. People get in trouble chasing their first loses, just trying to get back to even money so set a certain daily amount to gamble, and stick to it. Lastly if you want an experience few people have, go eat at Capos Italian restaurant, it is the last of the MOB restaurants left in Las Vegas. The old guys sitting around the place are actual mobsters most too old today. The food is great they will make you feel at home, no danger, they'll be happy to have you, but these guys are the real thing have no doubt about it, throw backs to the days when Las Vegas was MOB run.
@@gradywilson9213 thanks for the tips.
I was at Graceland the morning he died. I was a little girl and my dad was on a business trip to Memphis, so mom and I tagged along for the day. Mom was a huge fan and very time we went to Memphis, we had to stop at Graceland! That hot day, his cousin was working the gate and asked if we wanted to go up to the house…so of course, my mom said yes! We got into the back of his white truck and went up to the front door. He told us all kinds of things about the house and about Elvis. Two things stood out to my 8-year-old brain: the big, long car with shiny pipes out front and the fact that his cousin said Elvis sleeps until about 3 to 4 pm daily…I thought that sounded crazy for a grown person! We headed to some office building in midtown, mom and I heard the news from a secretary that he’d been taken to the hospital, then we were all glued to the radio. My mom and I sat in our car the rest of that afternoon listening to his music play on FM 100 and she cried.
I now live in Memphis and everyone here has an Elvis story. I know a retired cop who was there and saw him dead on his bathroom floor. Poor Elvis needed people who weren’t yes men…rehab could have saved him. Different times.
The thing is, those “yes men” were paid to be “yes men” and to NEVER tell him no. If Elvis wanted ANYTHING, you better bet that he had people in place that would, and/or could, get it for him, regardless of what it was!!! Lots of rich and famous people have other people around them that are willing to do any, and every, thing for them, including, but not limited to, getting stuff that isn’t good for them. Most of the time, their own bad habits, and choices, are the main reason for their untimely demise!!! It happens to the best of them. Case and point, Elvis Aaron Presley!!!
Its weird to think about, but Elvis was likely dead on the floor 10 feet in front of you and 10 feet above you when you were at that front door.
Que bonita historia a la vez que dramática.Yo tenía casi 12 años y me acababa de mudar de Madrid a Sevilla, España y salió en las noticias con su traje brillante en el escenario y su anuncio de su muerte.Me impactó .Yo veía sus películas y ya era consciente de cual grande era Elvis. Sigo escuchando su música incluso tengo un traje del American Eagle y canto sus canciones .También he salido a la calle vestido de Elvis y las chicas se quieren fotografiar conmigo , solas , con amigas , amigos o parejas.Elvis despierta eso único en la gente.
Tolles Video.Keine Band oder Musiker..inen egal wie popular werden den King jemals auch nur annähernd gleich kommen.ELVIS ist u bleibt ein einzigartiges Phänomen!!!!
Proof that all the money, fame and women in the world can’t bring a man happiness. For most ordinary men this is hard to comprehend. But Elvis is proof it is true.
Give me a glazed old-fasioned donut, a hot cup of coffee, and my guitar, and I'm all good.
Women ? He was into kids not women let’s be real now 14 is a child
Chuck Berry - greatest lyricist in history! Elvis - greatest EVERYTHING else in history!
Yes Chuck was certainly one of the greats
@@rickeap the lyrics he wrote and when he wrote them - incredible. Late 50s into the 60s - when rock 'n roll was still in its infancy - Chuck Berry wrote and recorded so many extraordinary songs.
@@elvez1231 I was lucky enough to see him live when he toured Australia
I wouldn't say Chuck was "the greatest lyricist in history"
1. After Elvis Presley died on August 16, 1977, the African American newspaper, the Chicago Defender explained that: “When Elvis Presley breathed his last breath and the press hailed him as the ‘King of Rock,’ Ol’ Man River cried out, ‘Naw he ain’t! My friend Chuck Berry is the King of Rock. Presley was merely a Prince who profited from the royal talent of a sovereign ruler vested with tremendous creativity. Had Berry been white, he could have rightly taken [Presley’s] throne and worn his crown well.’”
2. Stevie Wonder.
1. a blind man.
2. a black man
3. wrote most of his songs
4. played most instruments.
5. brilliant song writer.
6. 25 Grammys, the most by any solo artist
7. 1 Oscar
8. did I mention he was blind and black?
9. 23 studio albums, three soundtrack albums,
Elvis
1. 3 Grammys
2. never wrote a song.
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 You don't have to agree with me. It's just an opinion. For the record - I love Stevie Wonder and I love Chuck Berry. I bought many of both artists' records. I never bought a single of Elvis' . I was commenting on his LIVE concerts and his enormous popularity - similar to the way I feel about Ali.
The truth of me is this - I have no interest in discussing anything with anyone who continues to embrace a victim-mentality. It clouds every word and takes the fun out of everything.
Elvis was a Life Lesson for me: never open a door that you cannot close. He had a wonderful talent, and sadly, Fame became his gilded cage. I still think of 1956 being the last year he was allowed to be Human.
I LOVE this song and the photos are fantastic. Thanks
I grew up in Memphis, TN and I remember the day he died in August, 1977. My step-dad was building my swing set and my mom said "Elvis Presley died." I was 7 years old.
Memphis, TN died when Elvis died...
If you look back at history, most major singers meet an early fate and that is because they can't cope with a reality where they're no longer at the top as fads fade away.
Oh. Would have never considered that without your keen insight.
Loved all the "regular" photos of Elvis. Such a simple man in his personal life. Such an outstanding man when he turns it on for his fans.
GOD BLESS YOU ELVIS LOVE 💘❤♥ 💘 ❤ ♥ YOU FOREVER AND ALWAYS ❤♥❤♥ 💙
I am always amazed that a country with relatively little history has such glorious state names, while we in the good old United Kingdom could never, ever compose songs like this. Can you imagine it, '' left my home in Wigan Lancashire, London on my mind, I traveled,'' I will go no further, my journey is complete.
Robert Plant used to joke, 'Yeah, I was the fey blond one, who really, really wanted to be from San Diego ... when the sad truth was that I was from West Bromwich.' :)
Awesome! The pictures are amazing. Thank you for sharing.❤️👏🙏
Another song. Elvis. Made. His. Did. A. Great. Job. Great pics.
@@chriskinkead9045 bs
great song u found me
I think this is Elvis's best version...sooo fresh, just brilliant.
Agreed, because Elvis sounded better in 64 than he did when he tried to re-record it in 1969 and 70.
Great song great singer xxxxc
That leather duster coat is fantastic.
As are those thighs at 1:40.
The greatest entertainer of all time! EVER!
YES!!!!! Totally agree 💯
Amen
He was until the Beatles turned up ! They could do it all !
@@jamesinbradford5882,
John Lennon’s words,
“Before Elvis there was nothing”!
@@oldmanfred8676 yeh he did, but The Beatles came along , they took music and the entertainment industry to a different level. Elvis released crap movies and didn’t have a number 1 for years. Elvis ended up singing Beatles songs to make a living in Vegas !
Hello from Sweden 🇸🇪
Hallo. Takk. Yeah, that's the best this American can do without Google.
Man...just look at that last photo at 2:40 for a minute or so, and think of all it represents. Just a super cool dude, driving his own car, waving at fans and smiling. No body guards, no foul language, window down, having a good time. His wave looks like he's saying, "So long everybody. I love you, it's been fun. Lotsa fun..."
Nice observation Sadly it was the day he died
I just returned from Graceland. Worth every penny for the UVIP tour. When you see the 1200 square foot wall covered with his awards, it really hits you that this was an amazing feat to accomplish in 21 short years.
I haven't done the VIP tour but plan to next time i return in 2027.
@rickeap Do the ultimate VIP tour. Visiting the archive conservation facility was amazing. The tasks they perform to conserve the over 1.5 million artifacts is impressive. They are just now receiving Lisa Marie's belongings (over 12 shipping containers) They have a daunting task ahead of them.
Pedoland you mean !
Very cool. Out and about.

Barbara. There will Never be another Elvis! Not possible.
Harry Styles is on his way.
Just the King, doing his thing.
Thank you
I almost went out like the King but I ran out of money. Elvis obviously didn’t have that problem & that’s why he’s gone. He needed more people around him to tell him no. ✌🏽😇✌🏽
That's probably fair but an addict especially with money is a recipe for disaster.
Awesome!
Great collection of photos… Elvis was the coolest!
thank you, and i agree!
Great photos, but I think the constant supposed fornication is why God took him home early, imo. He believed strongly in God, but you cannot live that way. Great Gospel Albums. I think the only award he got was for his gospel album. Cursed with good looks, the devil tempted him.
Remember the story the boys told about this song in "Elvis: What Happened?"
EP recorded it, and Johnny Rivers came over to visit at Graceland, and Elvis played it for him. He LOVED it, and then quickly recorded himself singing it with Elvis' arrangement, and put it out on the market before Elvis' version got out.
that's correct - Rivers Stole it. Elvis never spoke to him again. I hate Rivers and never bought anything he did = Thief is what he is
So true, Rivers ripped him off, would of been a hit for the King
And that was the last time Mr Rivers visited Graceland
@@bishopaz 100% correct
And they all ripped off Chuck Berry!
Кажется незатейливая песенка, но какое же гениальное исполнение. Да, Элвис так рванул вперёд время, что остался в одиночестве, но теперь он не один, с ним весь мир. Браво Король!

I think everything was said about Elvis but I can't get enough of saying it, Elvis was really great.Elvis forever
We lived in Memphis for a couple of years when I was really young, about 6 or 7. My folks saw his last concert in Memphis. My mom and I also saw him riding one of his trikes down the street once, I think it was the one that you get a glimpse of in this video at 2:15. I still have several of the Memphis newspapers announcing his death.
I also have one of those newspapers
I'd heard about his version of "Memphis" before but I'd never heard it, so thanks!
The King of Rock and Roll. Nobody is a close second. There's Elvis and then there's everybody else.
@johnnynotenglish9751 The overwhelming majority disagree with you.
Sempre estou assistindo os vídeos do Elvis Presley, muita saudade, foi um grande artista, muito humano! 😍
The King
Absolutely
Love this song. OMG
I think the thumbnail is from the back entrance to Madison Cadillac on Madison Ave in Memphis. I remember that wall as a kid.
Yes it sure is, good pick up. I took photos there in 2017
Glad you used this song.
Great Cover.
Love it. React to My Boy and Steamroller Blues
These are great pix! I've not seen most of them before. The last one is allegedly the last photo taken whilst alive.
It is indeed the last photo of him
It wasn't until the end of the song until you realize how important the snare drum is the entire time
Elvis played this the demo for this song to l ole Johnnie Rivers he went and recorded it before Elvis could release it
Take out and loan and buy some punctuation, Cletus
It's a chuck berry song.
@@andrewholder3663 yep
@Brandon Trump no I wasn’t there trumpeter
IMO: that story is utter nonsense. Parker probably couldn't get 50% of the publishing from the Chess brothers so Johnny Rivers became a convenient scapegoat.
Como todos sou fã de Elvis e de suas músicas, mas quando olho para a vida dele vejo muita tristeza. Ele tinha tudo, mas era extremamente infeliz. Aí me pergunto? Como pode alguém que tinha tudo ter vivido uma vida tão miserável. Oro para que ele esteja com Cristo hoje.
Ele está com Cristo, acreditava em Deus, tinha o coração para a caridade, foi um bom pai, acredito
na misericórdia de Deus que ele foi perdoado por atos cometidos que não eram do agrado de Deus, mas o coração dele era de Deus, rezo muito pela alma dele!
Bin immer wieder erstaunt darüber dass es soviele mir unbekannte Videos vom King gibt .Freue mich auf daß nächste 😃😃
That was allright!
alright
I liked Johnny Rivers and actually liked this Song by him ..i found out Elvis had the song all ready to release but he showed Johnny this version ..johny released it and believe it went to top ten..or so..Elvis let it go tho I understand..Gotta love Elvis..

Elvis enjoyed all of his toys exactly what I would have done!
He was the best singer ever. His voice is angelic especially when singing Gospel. I saw him 3 times and the last was in May before he died. I knew then something was horribly wrong. I balance Tom Parker for this. If his mother had still been alive she would have never let Parker within 100 miles of him. Parker killed Elvis.
Magnífico 🌷

Elvis will always be the man!
