@@Add_Account485 I love Elvis to and if you would click on that link you would see that other people love him and want to keep Elvis Alive.. and how? We can go to see an Elvis Impersonator! Or watch a utube with one on it. Now you try and have a nice day.
My aunt and uncle went to see Elvis at the Boston Garden in 1972 or 73. My uncle dropped off my aunt and their friends at the entrance while he went to park. He parked the car and on his way he saw a long stretch limousine. My uncle went around it after it stopped. He bumped into one of the people getting out of the limo and he apologized. The voice said "No worries, man." He looked up and realized he bumped into Elvis, who patted my uncle's shoulder.
My mom has his autograph. Our cousin was stationed in Germany with Elvis. One day his Jeep broke down and along came another Jeep with no other than Elvis in it. He gave my cousin a ride back to camp (I guess) and he asked him for his autograph for his 13 year old cousin (my mom). Elvis obliged. My mom received the autograph in a letter from our cousin and when she opened it she started screaming! What a rush that must have been!
Oh my that's Awesome! Do you have the autograph now? Whoever has it today is sitting on a goldmine. Do you realize how many fans would pay a hefty price for that in an auction like at Tiffany's or Christi's or other popular auction houses.
@@apapz3245 Damn u are hilarious!! I could not stop laughing at your comment. U should go be a comedian ASAP. How old are u, 10yo? Come on, Grow tf up kiddo
That’s good. Hold on to it. It may worth $$$.. check it out. Oh. Keep in mind- he’s in a “ PROTECTIVE WITNESS PROGRAM”. Under new. (Identity). .. &. name. -- he. Is. ALIVE 2024. - “”
People can say all I want about Elvis, but my opinion is he was one hell of a performer. His voice was just so unique. He was a gift from God without a doubt
Your opinion is quîte righteous and correct. Elvis was many things. He was one of the finest singers who ever lived. As you point out, he was also one hell of a performer. That's something easy to take for granted, particularly in the upsidedown & backwards age we are in. Thank you for being someone with the heart and soul the appreciate the King.
Elvis died when I was 9 y.o. The only people that talk bad about him stealing black music, being a racist and so on, are misinformed, ignorant, go along with the narrative, young people. No one steals music as much as Rap/Hip Hop "artists".
I didn't get into his Secular Music, but Man, oh, Man! I love his Gospel Music stuff!!! Also:The rumor that I heard, was that Elvis had become fat and bloated. Does he look fat and bloated here? No! I'm so sick and tired of all the lies these clowns want to tell on The King! To whoever ever lied on him:Leave The King alone, and let him Rest In Peace!!!!!
Just for those that didn't know...the Quote "Ladies and gentlemen, Elvis has left the building." This was announced after each live show Elvis did obviously once he had actually left the building. This was stated to the audiences because they would remain there cheering with a standing ovation in hopes of him coming back out to perform an encore. Artists typically will come back out after five or ten minutes and do another number for the cheering crowd. Elvis never did an encore. Hence the now world renown informative statement..."Ladies and gentlemen, Elvis has left the building." If translated to a modern day sort of meaning..."Ladies and gentlemen...stop clapping and screaming...go home...for real...he left...show's over." When Elvis left the stage...that's it. Nobody does that but him. Kind of a cool calling card. I was born in May 1970 so Elvis wasn't exactly my cup of tea. As I grew up playing guitar for 42 years now and having experienced many live performances of music in person and through video. I recognize all the influence that is his that covers the entire industry. People like to use the word Legend for so many performers and entertainers and groups but I kind of see it like this. Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhodes, The Beatles, Hendrix, Sinatra, Streisand, Garland, Johnny Cash, Buddy Holly etc. All icons. Legend? Unquestionably Elvis.
Yes, but ultimately was it good for him as a person or would he have been happier doing something else, other than food you don't put that kind of weight on if you're really happy and at peace with yourself and where you are in your life, do you?
@@gilliankingston8259Most people don’t realize that the food killed E. The up and down weight. The crash diet’s before a tour. Then the binge eating. 6 cheeseburgers, then 3 Banana Splits after. The deep fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Made with a full pack of bacon, fried to a crisp, juices saved to pour on top of a full loaf of old fashioned bread( non- sliced) with the guts pulled out, an entire stick of butter inside. Then everything deep fried again. Then his succotash and mashed potatoes all whipped together and eating it with his hands. Then the three Attacks to go to sleep at intervals to finally get him to sleep. 33 pills total and three needles in those Manila envelopes. He was not long for this world. But he lived like the king he was. He had fun!! Look what he left us❤️
Our next door neighbor bought a ticket to his show that was playing the next night in Portland, Maine.She came in the door screaming for my mother yelling that Elvis Presley died.She was a huge fan and so upset.
I did the same thing. I was devastated. Actually, our whole family was very, very upset and crying. You know, back in the gap.. we had to wait for the next announcement on the radio and then the 6pm news.. I had heard it on the radio and went running and yelling he had died.😢 Myself and my cousins were so thrilled to hear all the Elvis songs being played on the radio that day. Until we heard that terrible announcement.❤ 😢
@@TonySmith-j8tIt was a shame that the guy died, but to cry a couple of days! Did your mother know him personally? I have favorite entertainers that died, but I did not cry over an event we will all experience someday. Get a life people!
I was at Elvis’s last performance. His gold belt broke, (they quickly had him put on another one) He acted as if he was high, because he mumbled through parts of his songs. But that didn’t matter to me, I was watching Elvis for the second time in my life, and he was so handsome, talented and amazing!
I remember at one of his concerts someone held up a sign that said ' You are God', he said I am not God there is only one and he's in heaven. I love that he never wanted to be called a King he was a special man and I love the way he was his humbleness was so refreshing and his gospel songs are so heartfelt. He was, is and will always be remembered......
I find it amazing when girls shout, "You're the king!" at him. He simply smiles and points upwards, saying, "Nope, there's only one King," nodding towards Heaven and King Jesus.
I'm in my 30's, black American who has never been into Rock n Roll. However, I'm so fascinated with Elvis. In 2023 ❤️ he seemed like an Ah-Mazing human being 🙏🏽🇺🇸
Here's the thing though. I grew up in the 60's and Motown was IT. We sang and danced with it joyfully. We LOVED the sound. Music...crosses all barriers and divisions. I'm twice your age. I have no doubt we could sit together and listen to rock, jazz, r&b, blues, pop and even classical and tap our feet, smile and sing...
@@deborahs2593 It's funny that you said that about Motown, I was just watching video's on how Motown crossed barriers in the music industry bringing all cultures together with their music ... 🙌🏽 Soooo Ah-Mazing 🔥🥰
He sang it beautifully! My mom loved Elvis and played his albums as loud as the stereo would play every Saturday morning while we all cleaned the house, but his gospel music was her favorite.
I have heard Elvis had a blonde twin that died at birth. Have read he was actually adopted out to the Trump family and Trump is Elvis brother from another mother.
There actually was another just like Elvis….he had an identical twin brother died at birth..so his life would have been completely different if that sibling lived..
Since nobody knows me here which is great! 💠 I was 12, I turned to look to my mother. I said he is dying, this will be his last concert! It was, and the hour that he died. I told my mother Elvis died today and so did my aunt from cancer. The phone rang and they both died! It was hard knowing. More for my mother than I, she was scared. Told me never to tell!! Now I write about it!! Almost 50 years later she said it's okay to share! As it is now just a story that no one would believe anyway!! 💠
My mom was a huge Elvis fan. She got to see him in concert twice. She passed that love of Elvis to me. I was 14 when he died and remember exactly where I was and what I was doing. When all my friends were into the Beatles, I was the one that said “have you ever listened to Elvis?” My daughter was raised on Elvis (she’s now 25) and still has her “Elvis blankie” she had as a young girl. He was and still is an icon and will never be forgotten.
Oh, my gosh. I was 15 when he passed and I, too, remember exactly where I was when I heard the news - camping with my family. Now, all these years later, I still travel back to that campground every year, and am transported back to so many wonderful teenage memories, and one heart-wrenching one. Thanks for sharing. Forever TCB!
My story is extremely similar to yours, except that I would add that my siblings and I have a stronger appreciation, connection to, and love for Elvis and his music because of the many hours of listening when my mom would play her records. She saw him in concert twice, and took me with her one of those times, and we have pieces of his scarf which was torn when Elvis threw it into the crowd.
ELVIS COULD SING ANYTHING AND YOU WOULD IMMEDIATELY KNOW IT WAS HIM SINGING ON THE RADIO! HIS VOICE WAS SO UNIQUE AND DREAMY! WOMEN ALWAYS SWOONED WHEN HE SANG, HE WAS SIMPLY GORGEOUS! AND ALL OF HIS MOVIES WERE VERY SIMPLE, BUT YOU WERE JUST SO GLAD TO SEE AND HEAR HIM! IT JUST DIDN'T MATTER! IT WAS HEART BREAKING WHEN HE DIED SO YOUNG! YOU JUST WANTED TO SAY NO, IT CAN'T BE TRUE! ELVIS WAS ADMIRED AND LOVED ALL OVER THE WORLD! HE WAS A DEVOUT CHRISTIAN AND MADE MANY GOSPEL ALBUMS TO PRAISE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. FOR THOSE OF THE 50'S THROUGH THE 70'S, ELVIS WILL FOREVER BE IMMORTALIZED! FOREVER HANDSOME AND FOREVER WITH A DREAMY ROMANTIC VOICE! REST IN PEACE KING OF ROCK N ROLL!
He backslid sadly, he was my faith- 1 God Apostolic, he was baptized In Jesus Name and filled with the HolyGhost with evidence of tongues, but sadly he backslid because he chose fame and rock n roll over Jesus!
Nobody knows what was in Elvis’ heart,for all you know he may have accepted Jesus in his life that very night before he died. Who are we to judge? I think Jesus even said that. I’ve accepted Jesus in my life and I was taught that if you are the biggest sinner in the world but you ask for forgiveness and accept Jesus, you are saved. We don’t know if Elvis told Jesus that night on the way to the bathroom forgive me Lord, I rededicate my life to you and boom he was forgiven and then he died. None of us know another man’s heart
@@blessedbeyondmeasure-sisdeb I was raised apostolic Pentecostal. My mom led song service wore long dresses never cut her hair or wore makeup never cussed or drank she was a great woman example of what a Christian should be. She seen problems on the church where man is worshipped and the congregation hold there noses up and look down on visitors for wearing shorts or having tattoos, the smell of alcohol on the breath. I have seen it myself and I no longer go. The church spends more time running people away than bringing them in, they are no longer fishers of men a sin is a sin. I haven't prayed in 2 years since my mom passed. I watched a faithful servant suffer. It's not rite.
@@shotty5873 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻we’re living in the last days I pray you find your way back to the Lord! I been living for the Lord for 36 years and I have not experienced that and my eyes are set on the Lord and no church is perfect and we can’t let stuff like that lead us to backslide anyways, God bless you!
I was 13 years old on my paper route and all of the sudden all these ladies in the neighborhood came out of their houses crying “Elvis died”, really sad, I will never forget
When I was 12, I learned about it while delivering papers on my route, too. I pulled the next copy of the Kenosha News out from my bag for the next customer and happened to catch the headline Elvis Dies. I was confused that I heard nothing about it the previous day but then learned it was late- breaking and the original headline of another story was reported the following day.
I was camping with a friend and her family. Her mom LOVED Elvis. My friend and I heard on the radio that he had died. We didn't tell her because we didn't want to ruin her weekend. She found out later in the day anyway.
Elvis will forever be remembered for being one of the WORLDS GREATEST VOCALISTS & ENTERTAINERS TO HAVE EVER LIVED & SHALL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN EVER!🎶🎤✨👏👑🕯️😇
He was sweating so badly while just sitting at the piano. The sweat was running into his eyes and drops were caught by his eyelashes. It was so sad. I don’t know why his loved ones didn’t even try to get him help. They shot him up with speed just to get him on the stage but he still needed help. I’ve read every book written about him. When the same things were written in multiple books y different people who were there, then I believed that. The rest I tossed out as fabricated. I’ll never forget the day he died. I was in The Smoky Mountains and had to pull over to cry. His doctor should have went to prison and his enablers should be shunned. Instead, all his enablers wrote tell all books and continued to live off of him.
One time when when I worked for FedEx, a trainer came up from Memphis and he said that when he was a kid, his family was out for a Sunday drive and he was sitting in the back seat…as they sat at a light, the trainer looked over and there was Elvis sitting on a motorcycle…he said that Elvis smiled at him obviously tickled at the young boy’s sense of awe and drove off as the light changed
I lived in Whitehaven and attended Whitehaven Methodist Day School across the street from his home. We saw him riding his horses in the side yard and on his 3 wheeler. We also used the same dry cleaners and his concert costumes were always hanging for all to see. I was 12 when he died.
@@jeanfrost5452 wow! Great story! I always hear that you were either a Cash fan or an Elvis fan. My mom always said you were either a Stones fan or a Beetles fan. But not both equally.
I saw him twice in Alabama...there will never be anyone else like him...it was like the whole building shook before he came on stage..literally bring tears to your eyes....you expected God himself to come out on stage with him..your whole body trembling!
@@1andonly222 I agree, but it just lends to the fact that music is very powerful. I used to go to Oak Mtn Amphitheater and felt that same energy with some of the bands I saw. It is incredible. Imagine if it were all 4God tho.
My dad tells me stories of him playing in B'ham! Struggled to buy tickets to take my aunt, she loved him, then she fainted as soon as he walked out! Dad said she missed half the show! 😆 🤣
He changed the face of music. A soulful, talented man whom I believe was just a pawn for the greedy people around him. They yreated him like a cash cow, doping him up to keep him running on their treadmill. It is the same tragic story played over and over in the entertainment industry. Greed rules the roost.
I love your comment being a 80's baby and seeing Michael, Whitney, Prince etc be done the same way it's beyond sad! Then knowing how it will play out for many more to come is also sad RIP ELVIS PRESLEY 🤍
I'll never forget hearing the news of his death announced via my little radio... I went running into the living room to my mother screaming Elvis is dead Elvis is dead, my brother loudly retorted back "No he's not, I told them how I had heard it on my radio... My MaMa proceeded to turn on the TV and it was being announced... My brother instantly started crying as well... RIP Elvis I'll meet you one day in the by and by...
Wow! I was watching a small black white tv in my living room and the news interrupted with Elvis had just died I ran to the kitchen yelling to my parents Elvis died! In shock disbelief they rushed to the livingroom we watched the rest of the news
My great great grandma met Elvis once. She complimented his eyes and he said thank you very much, complimented her eyes back. She got an autograph, years later her house was broken into and it was stolen
@@lisaparsons4124 I was 11 too. I remember sitting in the back seat of my Dads car coming from my grandparents place and hearing of his passing on the radio, my poor mother was in tears.
@@universaltopix I also was 11 YO. I was walking down a dock on Orcas Island in Washington State to go on a fishing boat with my family. People were listening to transistor radios while they were fishing from the dock and they were tuned to different stations but all had different Elvis songs playing on them. I asked another kid why all the Elvis and he said, “Didn’t you hear? They found him dead in his bathroom today”.😢 We went to a record store later and bought several of his records. There were lots of others doing the same.
Before Elvis was famous my grandpa was at this little place where small artists would come to sing and he came to meat with some friends as he left he held the door for a man with a guitar and he recognized him from the paper he read that morning it was Elvis. As he left he shook hands with him.
I was 16 years old and had just gotten off work. Got in my truck and turned on the radio going down the road and they were playing Elvis music. I thought to myself, thats kind of odd. Then the DJ came on and said you have been listening to a tribute to now the late Elvis Presley.
Im 81 now and ELVIS was so talented. So handsome and so kind. I was heartbroken when he died. There can never be a talent to equal him. RIP Elvis dear. 🙏
@@Waiting_777 That might be true about Bob but,. Just Know,. Bob’s Not Elvis! Bob’s 17 years younger than Elvis! Also,. A lot of the time they Dub Elvis’s voice on top of Bob’s! So,. If Bob sounds Anything like Elvis it’s because they have dubbed Elvis voice on top! But also,. Bob was an Elvis impersonator at one time,. He’s Practiced trying to sound like Elvis for a very long time! So,. Also,. Bob’s from TX.,. He’s got a southern accent! There’s a difference between a TX accent & a MS., accent,. But he practiced trying to sound like Elvis! Bob’s Not Elvis! Elvis Died!
@Randy Benson That’s Lot’s not lost! Anyway,. I don’t know why people assume Elvis had So Much money! He Really Didn’t! He only had about 5 Million in the bank when he Died! Oh,.&. Elvis would Never have done that to his Dad much less his daughter! His Dad wasn’t in good health! Besides,. Elvis Loved being Elvis!!! He would Never want to stop! He Loved what he was doing! He had a whole lot going on & was going into a bunch of new things! He was Not even Close to slowing down!!! Elvis Died from the 3rd heart attack he had on August 16th!
Yes ma'am ❤️ My Mom was from Tennessee and moved to Indiana and we were visiting her sister my aunt in Tennessee riding out in the Hollers listening to radio when DJ announced Elvis's death over radio and stopped the car all of us crying felt like we lost family he was so familiar to us all.well I lost Mom in 2020 and lost another true Rock hero to me Eddie Van Halen and both still hurt so bad ✌️💛🤘
It's what the fake media wants you to think he's in witness protection plan with 900 other famous people TuneIn at the Dallas rally with drunk Saturday when he announces John F Kennedy Jr as a vice president
People talking about Elvis sweating, I tried to keep up the tempo, shaking, side kicks, moving like he did, and I wasn’t even wearing that hot ass half leather, spandex type material his costumes were made of is like wearing a plastic trash bag. Talk about HOT and the lighting on him he was in about 95-102 heat abs I had to stop about 6 1/2 minutes, that man did it for 2 hours. Hell I’d be sweating fire ball by then too! That’s pure solid fan devotion
Not only that but he was HORRIFICALLY ILL during this time. He had 24/7 nurse. Nine of his 11 systems were shutting down. He was in the middle of congestive heart failure - hence the abdomen and face. Notice his skinny legs, arms and hands... that's NOT FAT.
Rest in Peace Elvis, Lisa Marie & grandson. I moved to Arkansas after I had COVID now am moving again. I went to Graceland---a life long dream n guess on my bucket list but we'll before his daughter n grandson n would have loved to go back again...with tears in my eyes 😢but too broke. Love n miss you all
I remember here in Australia when the news broke of his death. Myself, my mother and my grandmother teared up. How many entertainers can say they have that affect over 3 generations.
Hey lady I remember that day very well myself I was 9 yrs of age and I was actually a little scared because of all my friends mum's all over everywhere where crying thier eyes out hysterically !! I didn't know why at the time and there was my best friends mum Lena Squire who I felt really sorry for she was really a big lover of " Elvis Presley " ❤️ Yeah that day I will never forget 😌
@@caroleclifford2138 exactly. There is only one idol in this life you should have. Not these evil Hollywood elites. Sick world won’t know what hit them when the day comes. Infact the end of times is here and they still don’t see it.
I stayed with my Mom every single weekend for several years. We watched her favorite artist, ELVIS, from morning till night. She passed away last May. I have a hard time listening to Elvis now without her. I'm sure someday I will again. I miss her a lot.
The hand signs Elvis was doing was a version of the Tiger Claw, it looks like, which is also part of the Salute of the Ed Parker American Kenpo Karate schools that is performed when addressing the Master in the Dojo or school and also when entering and leaving the fighting mat or ring during tournament matches or when sparring in class. In the "Thumbnail" for this video you see a man to the left on screen, that is the late Grand Master Mr. Ed Parker Sr. who was the first person to break tradition of the Okinawa School of Karate by teaching white and non Asian students Karate in the United States. Elvis became a student and Ed Parker was his master, Bodyguard and mentor. Some of the first generation black belt students of Mr. Parker were also Elvis bodyguards. A couple of those black belts were my instructors in the late 1970s early 1980s . Ed Parker also founded the world famous Long Beach International Karate Tournament where Bruce Lee fought and Mr. Parker appeared in Bruce Lee movies and other well known films during the 1960s and '70s. Elvis loved Karate and used forms and Katas in his stage moves, like punches and kicks.
Oh wow thankyou! That is so interesting. My heart hurts when I think of how desperate he must have felt for so long. There really is nothing like the despair you feel with depression. What's left when you think there's no hope of getting out of that pit. I hope karate gave him respite and peace, if only for a while. 💜
Thats not true, traditional Japanese karate chito-ryu, which has transfered to Yoshukia here was brought over by Mr. yammamotto , rayburn nichols, mike foster. And kung fu was brought here by none other than bruce lee with his equivalent of Yoshukai , Jeetkwando. This was the 50s and 60s but near miami fl
@@joshualevelle3886 --- I think you are correct about that. But I'm not talking about Japanese Karate, I'm talking about Okinawa, which is still Japanese, until you talk to anyone from Japan or Okinawa. Okinawa is almost its own country in the minds of the Japanese people. I don't have time to go into the history of Okinawa, its people, and the history of martial arts in Okinawa and the differences between traditions in society and in the Karate that developed on Okinawa, and those same things in Japan at that time and for 1000 years prior. But, you may want to check it out. I'm not claining to be an expert or even very knowledgeable about this, I'm just going on what I do know and from stories told to me by my instructors who are the first generation black belts of the late Grand Master, of American Kenpo Karate, Mr. Ed Parker Sr. . Of those instructors of mine, the Master at the school I trained at was Mr. Chuck Sullivan, who after the passing of Mr. Parker, became the new Grand Master of American Kenpo Karate. I've had the pleasure and honor to have Dan Inosanto, Steve Sanders, and other legends instruct and train (very lightly) with me and the other black belts in our school. Mr. Inosanto gave us a Win Chung machine or dummy to have in our school. I'm sure you've heard of Mr.'s Inosanto, Sanders, and Sullivan. If not, you may like reading about these men. There are other instructors who taught at the school that if you look up under the first generation of black belt students of Mr.Parker you'll find interesting. Look up the school called Karate Connection, owned by Vic La Rux, that is where I trained before they went all commercial and doing training from DVDs and other things I didn't really like.
@@jakelang4387 ---- nice try. Elvis was Baptist and grew up and into his adulthood loved and sang Gospel music. And if you read my comments, he and I were taught Karate by the same people, I know what his hand gestures are, I explained them already. You may be correct about some thing you read or a video you watched about certain signs used in the entertainment industry, which I also work in and there is some evil sh*t going on in certain levels of the business.
There's something about Elvis that everyone loves whether you were a man or a woman young or old, even old Grandma's would go to his concerts and look like they were in love, men would shake his hand and have a look like they just shook Jesus's hand. Amazing
From a teen screaming to 75YO Elvis was the king of several Eras & he remains a 🌟. Lisa Marie passed Elvis is embracing his baby girl in The Upper Room🙏🤍🕊
Not sure if it was his last, but I saw him on June 23 in Des Moines, Iowa. It was my 8th birthday and my first concert. My Mom loved him so much! Last year, in her final days and hours, I played his gospel songs for her.
@@shanegahan4341 It really was. Even though I was so young, I could feel that this was a once in a lifetime experience and I was very lucky to be there. I have very vivid memories of the powerful music and his voice- so incredible, despite what many now say. I will never forget him talking to the guy right behind me (with his knees in my head, lol), 3 ladies in the parking lot fighting over one of his scarves, and even what I was wearing that night, Lol.
I saw Elvis live twice. The first time was at the Astrodome (Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo) in 1974. I was 10 years old. I'll never forget it. My parents bought me and my little brother souvenirs. I got a flag that said: I ❤ Elvis... and I still do.
it's been over 40 yrs since his death, hearing that music, seeing him on this little clip, I still get mesmerized by the man, unless your from that era, you don't understand the impact Elvis had on people,, he's one of kind!🌞🌛🌟
My parents went and saw Elvis's 2nd to last performance in South Dakota. The last scheduled stop in Indianapolis would be the King's final performance. Iconic

@@MyName-yl2ncI can see that being the case, but I also heard about his high-calorie diet. He would consume tens of thousands of calories a day. Definitely look it up. I do believe you with the water weight, as I’ve dealt with that myself, and I know it was from drug use, but his diet was also a contributing factor in his lifestyle.
I was born in 77 and my mother still played his records. I'm glad she did because it gave me a appreciation for what an amazing voice he had and what a great performer he was.
Same here - June '77. My mom remembers as a kid listening to Elvis' gospel album at bedtime, and she introduced my kids to it. Just tonight my seven year old son asked to listen to "Gonna Walk Them Golden Stairs" as he was going to sleep!
My daughter was born August 11,1977 My heart broke and I cried when I heard the news of Elvis passing away. I felt like heaven itself was crying. It poured rain that day😪
Me too... I was born shortly before he passed and that piece of information was one of my first memories. My mom was due on August 16th 1977.... It was a hot and humid summer and she was sick of being pregnant so all of her friends got together and told her to try jumping up and down, the rode the city bus all over town .. lol ..... But nothing made her labor pains start. The next morning, August 8, 1977 my mom woke up and she said that she felt weird but really didn't know why..... Well in a few hours she knew why lol.... I was born the morning of August 8th. When Elvis passed my mom took it as hard as she would have had he actually been family. She was devastated. She put his records away and for years..... years! She could never listen to another song of his. Then when I was 4, on the anniversary of his death she opened the box and slowly took out all of her records. 1 by 1 she played each and everyone as she cried herself dry. I remember seeing her so sad and not understanding why. Finally she called me over and sat me on her lap and she said, " I tha k God everyday that you decided to come early. I don't know if my heart could of handled the best day of my life happening on the same day that I got my first heartbreak.....sometimes you just got thank the lord for the little things he does that you never asked for...... I want you to listen to these with me and tell me what you think.". And I did.... I cried during some songs because his heartbreak felt like my own..... I laughed along listening to a live album..... It was like he was in the room and man, he was charismatic!!! And I vowed that I would never fall in love unless they could make me feel the way I felt when I heard Elvis sing about love....... And I didn't until I met my high school sweetheart, my husband of 30 years. When I fell for him, I finally felt the kind of love the only Elvis Presley could sing about and that love has never wavered........ Elvis inspired people long after his body left the mortal realm- his spirit, his legacy, and his talent were and will always be.....evermore..,
I grew up listening to his music at a very young age. My father who was a barely 5 ft. Black man who loved to sing "all shook up," and thought he was Elvis! We loved him.
You and me both Pamela. 👍 It's so amazing how much our dads love Elvis Presley. When ALOHA FROM HAWAII hit the record store shelves my mom, myself, and brother were camping with my grandparents. My dad and my uncle, both of whom were and still literally are Elvis super fans, stayed behind because they both had to work, but came up the next day to our campsite. Ok so brace yourself Pamela and make sure your bladder is empty because it's gonna get good !!! LMFAOOOOOO. Ok so both my dad and uncle were off work. My dad got the beer and the ALOHA FROM HAWAII record, and my uncle brought flashlights and batteries. They put on their own FLASHLIGHT ELVIS concert...They took turns all night. One was Elvis and one held the flashlights to give the spotlight effect.then they'd switch. They each had towels tied around the neck like a cape like Elvis did. The funniest part of ALL this Pamela is this took place in the 1970's. I was 5 years old or so when this happened...my dad barely told me all this less than 10 years ago or so. My uncle is no longer with us. He was riding his bike and was hit by a car. Died instantly. I'm sorry for babbling on and on. I met Elvis when I was 5 years old and I got a dime tour of his plane the LISA MARIE !!!! 👍🌹💕🥰😁😎🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷👀🤯😱💯❤️🥳🎉🌈😳💖
@@pumpkinpuna4087 Great memories! I grew up on Elvis music also from beginning to end. I’m sorry about your uncle.. terrible loss! Thank you for sharing your wonderful memories with us! 🎶🎙🎚
I saw him on this tour when he played in Philly in spring 77. I was ten years old, and my mom got us tickets as an early birthday present. I still remember how spectacular it was. I was too young to be concerned about his health or weight issues, I thought the whole thing was amazing
@@stever1791 Philly is (or at least was) a rock and roll town. I haven't lived there since I was in my 20s, but I spent countless nights in the arenas, theaters, clubs, and bars catching live shows from hundreds of different bands and musicians.
@@mjlives5428 a typo brother. He hit "j" by mistake I'm guessing when he just meant to type "I". Anyway, yes, I am a huge fan too. Love seeing these clips of him, honoring the Kings awesome performances!
When we put our fingers up like that in church that meant that we were excusing ourselves during the preaching or whoever was in the pool pit. For a sign of respect.
Don’t know where you went to Church. Never heard of that before. Church of God, some Babtist Churches raise their hand in praise. Are they showing respect when going to bathroom.???
My mom introduced Elvis Presley to me and my siblings…I fell in love with this most talented, gorgeous being! I watched the Elvis movie a week ago, I cried like a child..my heart broke in two! I was so young I didn’t know his whole life story! I love him more, he didn’t deserve all that was done to him, taken from him! I understand why Presila still loved him. They kept him away from all that loved him, for money!!!
He wasnt just "big" though. He was extremely unhealthy around this time. He was water retentive, and also had an impacted colon with over 20 lbs of feces inside it at this point. Alot of that "gut" you're looking at on Elvis, isnt even weight! (Okay but Yes, I understand, he DID in fact gain weight though, this is true) its severe water retention, followed by extreme gut/bowel distension. Its really sad honestly :(
a warrior's goodbye are the signs and gestures he's using. there's also a greeting gesture and many more. these gestures are rooted in karate....."open hand"
Well he also has the Phoenix Rising on his suit. Occultism -- Satan worship like all of them do. That's who they're working for. That's their god whom they serve and worship. He's a liar. He promises them fame and riches. But The One True God says, "What does it prophet a man to gain the whole world yet forfeit his soul." (to eternal damnation in hell) We sooo need to wake up :(
WE ARE LUCKY HOW MANY PEOPLE SHARE OUT CLIPS, STORIES , HISTORY, MEMORIES 🤝🙏🏼😇GOD MADE ELVIS WITH SUCH BEAUTIFUL TALENT AND KNEW ELVIS’s LEGEND WOULD NEVER FADE ⚡️✨🌟🔥⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️EP IS FOREVER SHINNING HERE AND IN HEAVEN ⚡️🙌🏼THANK YOU ALL WHO LOVE AND RESPECT ELVIS PRESLEY 🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🙌🏼⚡️🙌🏼⚡️🙌🏼🤝⭐️⭐️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️GOD BLESS EVERYONE 🙏🏼
Elvis gave his all while he was here, I'll never forget the day he left us. Yes I believe he's with Jesus now, he's got the peace everyone needs now. Amen
I was 13 years old, my mom had sent me to the grocery store to pick up some vanilla ice cream. When I got home, she was listening to the radio with tears in her eyes, when I asked her what was wrong she said " Elvis Presley just died a few hours ago". I never forgot the anguished look on her face.😢😢😢
I remember when my mom told me about my ventriloquist dummy escaping from his box and running away to join the circus. We both laughed and laughed and laughed 🤡👲🏽
Lots of screaming women...i.was looking at them like they was crazy.saw mom rush the stage get a kiss and a scarf..she was on cloud nine that night..great night for her..
Elvis as we know wasn't very well but still gave his all for his fan's, as Elvis loved to do what he loved and reached every note what a incredible voice and magnificent charisma that's our beautiful Elvis 👑👑
@@larryn2682 True,a lot of those prescription drugs can constipated you really bad,in 1969,I was operated on in a U.S.Army hospital and after all of the drugs they used on me,I had to have a couple of enemas to get me cleaned out.
Last show was at the Field House Arena Indianapolis Indiana. The 2nd to the last live concert before Indiana was Civic Center in Rapid City South Dakota. 70,000 pop.(Metro population as of 2020) in 1977, when Elvis played the metro pop was 40k. I was 8 yrs old and lived in rapid city. My whole family ❤ Elvis and were in attendance and were very worried about the King. he profusely sweat the whole set. sang a lot of hit songs w/eyes closed & kept forgetting numerous lyrics to his hit songs. I remember my grandmother visually tearing 😢 up answering "how was the Elvis concert?"
It's just so incredibly sad that Tom Parker only ever saw him as a money making machine and not a person. Elvis just refused to fire him, afraid of where his career would go & desperate not to abandon someone who he thought of as his friend he kept him as his manager & listened to no one else. Tom Parker kept him in Los Vegas & refused to let him record with other artists and to experiment for fear of losing control over him. Elvis was so loved that fan's were just happy to see him on stage & didn't realise how sad & depressed he really was.
Yes agreed. Elvis was a shell of a person who was on so many uppers and downers he could barely function. He was molded into a product by a team of people close to him. They jist saw cash and passed the blame onto his manager after it went the full course
He really wasn't all that big. It was those jump suits he wore those last few years. They ARE NOT flattering to anyone unless you don't have AN OUNCE of extra weight. He had gained a few pounds, yes, but He wasn't really THAT FAT. It's the jumpsuits that made him appear huge. They were very unforgiving.
@TTaylor I love Elvis, but I'm not going to lie, unfortunately Elvis's prescription drug usage caused his metabolism to shut down, which also caused massive weight gain. If you look at Elvis in his jump suits during the early 1970s, he looked extremely good, fit and trim. Elvis went from a trim 165 pounds in the early 1970s to a massive 240 pounds by 1977. That's BIG.
@@precbsfender Yes he had gained some weight as compared to his "regular weight" but 250 for a 6ft tall man is not this super obese blob like people make him out to be. Joe Esposito who was there everyday with him says that's a myth that he was this huge 300 pound obese person. He was out of shape yes. But not this comical caricature that people have made him out to be. As you see him walk away in this video, different angles show that he wasn't SUPER FAT.
@TTaylor I agree, there's been so many lies told about Elvis, for instance, the fried peanut butter and banana sandwich thing, when in reality, according to Linda Thompson, Elvis never ate them. You have to take everything said about Elvis with a grain of salt. No doubt about it, Elvis was the biggest star in world history, but unfortunately he became a victim of his own success.
@@hatefullll Stll walked pretty agile and fast for someone ill or overweight. Drug doctors like MJ'S. Should havecprescribed a few months , year vacation to get his nutrition, etc in shape.
That was a cool video, cause it showed Ed Parker, Sr., whose house we used to have morning Seminary at cause his daughters and sons were in my class. Those were good times, and because Mr. Parker had such a long relationship with Elvis, he told us sooooo many stories of his generosity and kindness! Such great memories!
Has she been to Graceland? It's awesome! I didn't like the recent documentary movie about him. I thought it was negative and depressing. Graceland on the other hand is uplifting and shows more I his happy side.
There was a bad car accident outside the gates of Graceland as Elvis was on the property. He told a member of the Memphis Mafia to make sure all the people involved didn't pay any out of pocket for any medical bills from it. Elvis paid for everything. Hospital care, ambulance etc..I met Elvis when I was 5. I got a tour of his plane LISA MARIE.
Resurfaced article claims Elvis Presley was a pedophile, rapist News piece quotes 'Elvis Presley: A Southern Life', in which the author wrote singer had girlfriends as young as 14…. The King of Rock and Roll Elvis Presley was a pedophile and had girlfriends as young as 14 while he was on tour at age 22, it has now been revealed in a book. Author Joel Williamson shared Elvis kept a group of three 14-year-old girls with him on the tour who were up "for pillow fights, tickling, kissing and cuddling", Vice reported in a 2016 article, which recently resurfaced. In Elvis Presley: A Southern Life, Williamson also alleged that Elvis cheated on his 15-year-old girlfriend Dixie Locke when he was 19. Dixie and Elvis dated between early 1953 and October 1955. He writes, "There had been a river of sex before, now there was a flood." From 1958 until his death in 1977, he always needed a woman or girl in bed. Williamson also claims Elvis was "obsessed with virginity", sleeping with two 26-year-old self-proclaimed virgins in August 1970. Priscilla eventually cheated on Elvis, and according to her book, Child Bride: The Untold Story of Priscilla Beaulieu Presley, she told him of the affair. When she arrived in Memphis to announce she was no longer in love with him and was separating, he went into a jealous rage and raped her. She writes that Elvis grabbed her and "forcefully made love" to her, saying, "This is how a real man makes love to his woman." The duo separated in 1972 and got divorced a year later. "Thus, the love affair between Elvis and Priscilla ended, ignominiously, with spousal rape," the book noted…..🙄🙄😬😤🤔🤔

@Pete J. Same for me. I was at the Ohio State Fair, which is one of the largest state fairs in America. They had to announce it about 5 times before they could get everyone's attention. There were people screaming and fainting. Even some of the rides and games on the Midway shut down so everyone could hear. Only Elvis could command that kind of attention.
I was 5 months old and my dad and older brother remained huge fans and I knew his music and til this day when people ask ju birthday I say it but then I'll say for the year I was born the year elves died
Mum was a massive fan. She passed recently , and his songs bring so much comfort. She even had “how great thou are “ blaring out at her funeral as her coffin was being carried in… ❤ Grew up listening to the King of rock and roll and now he will always be a massive part of my life x😊
I tried to list down singers who would come close to how handsome, genius and talented with such a charming and sexy personality as him and no one came close. He really was the total package. My heart breaks at his tragic ending. So young but he completely changed and shaped music. Long live the king of rock ‘n roll.
Never was a big fan of Elvis but as years went by, I started being more interested in him. I’ve watched so many movies about him and saw his most recent in the theater. Colonel Parker used him for everything and anything. So did his father. It’s very sad how they exploited him for their own pockets. Elvis was extremely generous and a religious person. He was the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen in movies and his voice never cracked with age. He truly was the king of rock n roll and was truly blessed. As far as the hands go, couldn’t tell ya but I seriously doubt it was the 666 sign. Don’t read into this people. Besides my cousin is an Elvis freak and goes all over to see Elvis entertainers so I’ll ask her. LONG LIVE THE KING!
Yes, come to think of it after I viewed this video a couple of times; the hand gestures Elvis was showing are freemasons hand signs in spite of him claiming Jesus is King, but we don't know for sure that he might of turned to Jesus and got saved before he died.
I saw Elvis in concert about 2-3 months before he passed away. My mother being a lifetime Elvis fan excitedly asked how the concert and Elvis was. I told her it was rather sad to me. He was horribly bloated and looked like death. I told her it wouldn't surprise me if he died soon. Sure enough he did, only a couple months later. It was really sad seeing him that way. A man who was referred to as "The King" reduced to such a poor state of health. People demanded so much of him. I really don't believe he would have done the drugs he did do, if it hadn't been to keep up with the overbearing demands of his fans. But I still remember the handsome, extremely talented young man he once was before he became basically owned by his fans. It's really sad what the showbiz and music industry can do to The most talented performers, singers and actors. Hope you're living large in the ever-after paradise and making beautiful music 🎶 🎵 for your Momma up above with you. Hopefully, your look-alike grandson is there with you too?!!
I seen in 1976.Yes they used him all they could for money.He died cause he was simply constipated off all the drugs he was made to take cause of the money demand.Sad.😡😞
My aunt, she just passed away on Valentine’s Day, absolutely love Elvis. She had all the 45s back in the early 60s when I was so damn young four, five years old, around there. Never really liked them that much, but learned to respect what he did. He was the king.
I was too young to get swept up, but we got internet and I realized what my aunt Sharon and so many other women saw. Elvis was such a beautiful man. I recently found out he had a twin that died as a baby. Although there would be sadness over that tiny life lost, I wonder if his twin added to his energy? He loved Anne Margaret! I loved Anne Margaret! I’m sure behind the scenes his life was complicated, but he was a born star ✨ he had a job to do, and he did it AMAZINGLY! He belonged to all of us. I remember exactly where I was when they announced his death. The whole world stopped that day for a bit. I’m sure where ever it is we go when we die, he’s over there being as magical and beautiful as ever ✨🕊✨
I remember, too! It was my dad’s birthday. I was watching TV when they announced his death. I ran to the washateria, where my momma worked, to tell her.
@@projectkj7643 OMG he died on my father’s b-day as well. Dad said the only reason we remember his birthday every year is it was the day Elvis passed away.
in todays world he would be cancelled for having sex with minors and posessing child porn if you were a teenager, he would have taken your girlfriend for ice cream money buys silence
@@PK__44 the polaroids were probably burned once cilla threatened to out him and his buddies let me ask you your opinion he was said to have always carried a polaroid camera taking thousands of photos have you seen ANY photos I may have seen 25 or so what happened to all those photos?
I totally agree with Kathryn Layfield. Elvis was one of a kind. He was down to earth WITH A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR and most of all selfless giving. His gospel songs were so ever-soothing with his velvety voice. His ALOHA FROM HAWAII concert via satellite all over the world was groundbreaking. He had a big loving heart for his family, friends, all of his audiences (that he lived to perform for), and especially to those in need. He was full of compassion and had a trusting nature. I TRULY believe with all of my heart that he had NO MALICE and let's not get started on his EXTREMELY GOOD LOOKS, full lips and those dreamy bedroom eyes. I've been goo-goo-eyed over him since I was 9 years old (over 50 years), and I guess I always will be until my dying day. I have watched all of his movies OVER and OVER and will continue to do so.. What a man! God bless his soul.
Elvis may have gotten into his car and left every building in which he performed. Elvis has never left our homes or our hearts he lives on as long as we who love him continue to listen to him and dream of him! TCB⚡️❤️ ⚡️TCB ⚡️ ❤️ ⚡️TCB⚡️ ❤️ ELVIS. ❤️
Yes I saw him in Lake Charles towards the end of his life. But he was Unbelievingly charismatic. Rest in peace Elvis. You’re in a much better place off of this earth and with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 🙏✝️🕊
Man what a time to be alive. Unfortunately I am only 17 and was not able to be there to listen to the phenomenal performances he’d showcase. That is an era that will forever be missed. Rest in peace to the greatest of all time.🤍🤍
Very sad clip. He still performed his very best till the last concerts. Elvis is with the Lord. Can you imagine him and king David singing How Great Thou Art together in heaven? How awesome that must sound... miss you EP. From South Africa.
@@rc-darkangel774 This clip was not his last concert. His last concert was 5 days later: 26 June 1977 at the Market Square Arena in Indianapolis, Indiana
@@rc-darkangel774 - His next one was scheduled to be in Maine - 8/17/77. That was to be the start of his August/September tour, and obviously never took place.
I remember, was sitting on the living room floor, close to the Delivery of my ecoond child. It's a wonder I didn't go into labor when the anouncement came over the TV! How shocking, sad and terrible those words were! I will never forget that dark day!
I was on my front porch when I read about Elvis's passing I cried so hard you would have thought that it was one of my family or realities that had passed.
I certainly remember I that day, I'll never forget it.. My husband, and I, along with our kids were on our way home to Ca, from a vacation to Al. I had been outside Graceland a yr before that day while on vacation with just one of my daughters, one of my cousins, and her only kid, just to check it out.. But on this day and being so close, and my husband never being there, and while trying to surprise me, why not? WOW it was the BIGGEST surprise, and shock that I've ever had. When we got to the corner of Graceland the streets were full of people you could not drive through it and at that moment as we turn the corner the news came on and announced that Elvis Presley was dead. Talk about a shock it was the biggest shock of my life. The streets were so full of people there was no way to drive through without running over people so my husband, being the smart ass he is politely and jokingly said oh well I guess we don't have to go now and he flipped a u-turn and went back on the freeway. He said it jokingly but it was not a joke and I cried all the way home, and off and on for a few weeks. We've been back there since on our way to and fro home to Ala each time, and I always sign the wall around Graceland, and our kids and granddaughters have written their name on the wall at Graceland, and why not? All the kids on both sides of our family have learned to appreciate Elvis and they don't mind listening to him anymore in fact they expect it and nothing less! I almost forgot that our youngest granddaughter had to do a thousand word paper for school the 7th grade, her subject was Elvis Presley, and she cehose it on her own and she got all her information from her grandma, me I think it brought us closer together as if we weren't close enough bcuz you can never be too close to your family. LOL!
I've always loved Elvis and felt extra special for being born on his birthday. Fast forward a bunch of years and I gave birth to my third and last child, my only son, on Lisa Marie's birthday!
@@marypatton5318 same Mary! I was the exact same age, but my birthday is in September. I remember what street we were at when it came on our AM radio, in my moms mustard color 69 Chevy Vega…. We were at a stop sign, turning right, we had just pulled out of our driveway and we were at the end of our street…. I remember the sound of the blinker even…. The radio was on low…. It was a radio station called “62 KGW”…..”Elvis Presley, the King of rock and roll has died”…… my mom instantly said “what…. What did they say? They said that Elvis is dead?? What?? That can’t be right…. Omg…. Is that what they said??? No!!! No!! This has to be a mistake”….. and my mom Started to cry…. He was HUGE for her generation! She was in high school when he was at the height of his career! She was devastated…. We went in a loop around our neighborhood and went home. We turned on the TV and called my grandma….. I even remember what we had for dinner…. Salisbury steak TV dinners…. 💔💔💔
I'm a 58 year old, life long fan of Elvis. I was in the audience in Mobile Alabama when he performed his last concert. It was a humbling experience when he walked on stage and heartbreaking when he made his exit. I was just a teenager then and had every intention of stealing him away from whoever he was with as soon as I got a little older. You would have thought someone ripped my heart out the day he died. If I make it to Heaven, he's mine ❤ The whole world will miss him forever.
Elvis' last concert ever is being claimed by everyone. The unchained melody performance in Iowa claims it also. Elvis' last concert was June 26th 1977 at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis, Indiana.
My dad took me to the concert in Mobile, he told me it was his last concert. I took his word for it then and I think I'll continue to take it now... right or wrong. It's not about where he stood on stage last for me, it's about how lucky I felt to be standing right in front of him. The moment was short, but his presence was powerful. It's a memory that's lasted my entire life and I wouldn't tarnish it by arguing over where he was seen in concert last. I'm just so happy that I got to see him ❤
My mother was at his last concert at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis, which was the greatest place to ever see a concert because of the acoustics. They placed a plack in remembrance of his last show after tearing the Arena down.
I waited for hours with my college roommate to buy tickets to see Elvis at The Myriad in Oklahoma City (Price:$12.50.) My roommate was a huge Elvis fan. I was a Beatle's fan and had not really spent much time listening to Elvis. But here we were two twenty year-old college guys waiting in line with hundreds of women. I was starting to like this Elvis idea. The show was electrifying. Yes, he was older, less animated and a bit puffy. But, I have never seen a person on stage more captivating and charismatic. He was a phenomenal entertainer and he sang with a unique passion. Elvis at 42 died a year later and my roommate unfortunately passed away around the same time at the age of 21. Elvis as an entertainer truly lived up to the hype. I've seen Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Mick Jagger, Prince, Justin Timberlake, Brittney Spears, etc. Elvis exuded a whole other level of charisma. One of a kind.
Probably the biggest musical legend ever to walk the planet! Its staggering to think about what he achieved in his life. He inspired me to get on stage and sing his songs to keep his memory alive! On a different note, I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when MJ walked through the pearly gates! #awkward!!😬
That was the night the final curtain came down. Then before we knew it, you were gone 💔 You may have left the building that night but you'll never ever ever ever leave our hearts. You reached that unreachable star. You are that beckoning candle you sang about and your flame will never ever go out. To your fans you were the impossible dream, that's why, even today ,when we hear your voice.. we cry, dance and shout. You'll always be the absolute best and even..as they laid you to rest, we knew that with each passing year our love for you would only grow stronger. Elvis, with you, we've loved, we've laughed and we've cried. Elvis,with your up coming birthday, I know you can see, I know you can feel . the millions of people.. worldwide,that are now friends.. because of you. We all stand United in memory.. of you. Happy Heavenly Birthday Elvis, we... will... remember... YOU !!! ❤❤❤
Backstage at good old MSA Market Square Arena. People in Indianapolis were still talking about this show when he died as it was just a few weeks before. The King has his princess back now. 💙

Its called a "mudra" and he most likely learned it during his martial arts studies.
My aunt and uncle went to see Elvis at the Boston Garden in 1972 or 73. My uncle dropped off my aunt and their friends at the entrance while he went to park. He parked the car and on his way he saw a long stretch limousine. My uncle went around it after it stopped. He bumped into one of the people getting out of the limo and he apologized. The voice said "No worries, man." He looked up and realized he bumped into Elvis, who patted my uncle's shoulder.
Wow...thats awesome!
Great story

Elvis was a practitioner of the martial arts. Read several of his biographies
My mom has his autograph. Our cousin was stationed in Germany with Elvis. One day his Jeep broke down and along came another Jeep with no other than Elvis in it. He gave my cousin a ride back to camp (I guess) and he asked him for his autograph for his 13 year old cousin (my mom). Elvis obliged. My mom received the autograph in a letter from our cousin and when she opened it she started screaming! What a rush that must have been!
Oh my that's Awesome! Do you have the autograph now? Whoever has it today is sitting on a goldmine. Do you realize how many fans would pay a hefty price for that in an auction like at Tiffany's or Christi's or other popular auction houses.

People can say all I want about Elvis, but my opinion is he was one hell of a performer. His voice was just so unique. He was a gift from God without a doubt
Your opinion is quîte righteous and correct. Elvis was many things. He was one of the finest singers who ever lived. As you point out, he was also one hell of a performer. That's something easy to take for granted, particularly in the upsidedown & backwards age we are in. Thank you for being someone with the heart and soul the appreciate the King.
Greatest of all time
Good frigging luck finding someone better no one will ever get within of a mile of Elvis
Elvis died when I was 9 y.o. The only people that talk bad about him stealing black music, being a racist and so on, are misinformed, ignorant, go along with the narrative, young people. No one steals music as much as Rap/Hip Hop "artists".
I didn't get into his Secular Music, but Man, oh, Man! I love his Gospel Music stuff!!!
Also:The rumor that I heard, was that Elvis had become fat and bloated. Does he look fat and bloated here? No!
I'm so sick and tired of all the lies these clowns want to tell on The King! To whoever ever lied on him:Leave The King alone, and let him Rest In Peace!!!!!
Just for those that didn't know...the Quote "Ladies and gentlemen, Elvis has left the building." This was announced after each live show Elvis did obviously once he had actually left the building. This was stated to the audiences because they would remain there cheering with a standing ovation in hopes of him coming back out to perform an encore. Artists typically will come back out after five or ten minutes and do another number for the cheering crowd. Elvis never did an encore. Hence the now world renown informative statement..."Ladies and gentlemen, Elvis has left the building." If translated to a modern day sort of meaning..."Ladies and gentlemen...stop clapping and screaming...go home...for real...he left...show's over." When Elvis left the stage...that's it. Nobody does that but him. Kind of a cool calling card. I was born in May 1970 so Elvis wasn't exactly my cup of tea. As I grew up playing guitar for 42 years now and having experienced many live performances of music in person and through video. I recognize all the influence that is his that covers the entire industry. People like to use the word Legend for so many performers and entertainers and groups but I kind of see it like this. Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhodes, The Beatles, Hendrix, Sinatra, Streisand, Garland, Johnny Cash, Buddy Holly etc. All icons. Legend? Unquestionably Elvis.
These days they just turn all the lights on.
You don't have to go home But you can't stay here
Mm on in

Now it would be "Ladies, gentlemen, nonbinary, LGBTQSIA+, cis, him/his, her/hers and all you 57 other genders, Elvis has left the building."

True, he was the best
Yes, but ultimately was it good for him as a person or would he have been happier doing something else, other than food you don't put that kind of weight on if you're really happy and at peace with yourself and where you are in your life, do you?

The deep fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Made with a full pack of bacon, fried to a crisp, juices saved to pour on top of a full loaf of old fashioned bread( non- sliced) with the guts pulled out, an entire stick of butter inside. Then everything deep fried again. Then his succotash and mashed potatoes all whipped together and eating it with his hands. Then the three Attacks to go to sleep at intervals to finally get him to sleep. 33 pills total and three needles in those Manila envelopes. He was not long for this world. But he lived like the king he was. He had fun!! Look what he left us❤️
Our next door neighbor bought a ticket to his show that was playing the next night in Portland, Maine.She came in the door screaming for my mother yelling that Elvis Presley died.She was a huge fan and so upset.
I did the same thing. I was devastated. Actually, our whole family was very, very upset and crying. You know, back in the gap.. we had to wait for the next announcement on the radio and then the 6pm news..
I had heard it on the radio and went running and yelling he had died.😢
Myself and my cousins were so thrilled to hear all the Elvis songs being played on the radio that day. Until we heard that terrible announcement.❤ 😢
My mom was so sad she cried for a couple days we tried to make her feel better but it took some time
@@TonySmith-j8tIt was a shame that the guy died, but to cry a couple of days! Did your mother know him personally? I have favorite entertainers that died, but I did not cry over an event we will all experience someday. Get a life people!
I was at Elvis’s last performance. His gold belt broke, (they quickly had him put on another one) He acted as if he was high, because he mumbled through parts of his songs. But that didn’t matter to me, I was watching Elvis for the second time in my life, and he was so handsome, talented and amazing!
Same! My parents had tickets and couldn’t wait to see him but he passed before he came to town and they were devastated.
I remember at one of his concerts someone held up a sign that said ' You are God', he said I am not God there is only one and he's in heaven. I love that he never wanted to be called a King he was a special man and I love the way he was his humbleness was so refreshing and his gospel songs are so heartfelt. He was, is and will always be remembered......
Oh yah...he was such a god fearing man ...NOT! You dont know Elvis at all ....
@@paulj.stavrou4332 Wrong I do know more than you think I know. So actually you don't know me at all!!!!!!!!!
I hope he knew the LORD JESUS. THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE GOD AND THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
Lol I love when people manufacture entire personality for a celebrity they've never met!
@@Mrs-qj3bm I misread that and thought you said he was the lizard king, like no, that was Jim Morrison.
May his daughter and grandson RIP with him now 😢
I doubt that
That they're resting easy@@mh2584
Yes.🌺
I sorry for your loss
And now his wife.
I find it amazing when girls shout, "You're the king!" at him. He simply smiles and points upwards, saying, "Nope, there's only one King," nodding towards Heaven and King Jesus.
Glad to know, you know this. Hand crown on stag, girls called Elvis your the King what you said is what he told girls from stage.
Except he’s throwing devil horns as allegiance to satan and Elvis liked them young. VERY young.
Yeah, king of hell.
@@ladyredd1618 I’m

I'm in my 30's, black American who has never been into Rock n Roll. However, I'm so fascinated with Elvis. In 2023 ❤️ he seemed like an Ah-Mazing human being 🙏🏽🇺🇸
He was a amazing humanitarian. I hope you keep on exploring Elvis! So many great songs!
If you care for a suggestion, I highly recommend searching for the ‘Don’t Cry Daddy’ duet with Lisa Marie. That and the entire 68 comeback special lol
Yes ma'am He is indeed!
Here's the thing though. I grew up in the 60's and Motown was IT. We sang and danced with it joyfully. We LOVED the sound. Music...crosses all barriers and divisions. I'm twice your age. I have no doubt we could sit together and listen to rock, jazz, r&b, blues, pop and even classical and tap our feet, smile and sing...
@@deborahs2593 It's funny that you said that about Motown, I was just watching video's on how Motown crossed barriers in the music industry bringing all cultures together with their music ... 🙌🏽 Soooo Ah-Mazing 🔥🥰
His version of glory hallelujah is still the best version I have ever heard
It's called THE TRILOGY. His father loved it too.
@@storkdeliverysstorkdeliver2846 it's actually An American Trilogy, but ok 🤷♀️
He sang it beautifully! My mom loved Elvis and played his albums as loud as the stereo would play every Saturday morning while we all cleaned the house, but his gospel music was her favorite.
@@janinekreikemeier6631
Wow, I could've written that comment! I bet you still know every word by heart, too.
And crying in the Chapel .when he sang Bualand it would ripe your heart out.
There was only one Elvis and there will never be another like him , they won’t even come close.
Simply a different league .
I have heard Elvis had a blonde twin that died at birth. Have read he was actually adopted out to the Trump family and Trump is Elvis brother from another mother.
There actually was another just like Elvis….he had an identical twin brother died at birth..so his life would have been completely different if that sibling lived..
@@chewie2055 Trump was Elvis's brother...adopted out.
Check out Bouke Scholten from the Netherlands
Actually Elvis got everything about his style from the late great Roy Hamilton. He's far from unique.
Since nobody knows me here which is great! 💠 I was 12, I turned to look to my mother. I said he is dying, this will be his last concert! It was, and the hour that he died. I told my mother Elvis died today and so did my aunt from cancer. The phone rang and they both died! It was hard knowing. More for my mother than I, she was scared. Told me never to tell!! Now I write about it!! Almost 50 years later she said it's okay to share! As it is now just a story that no one would believe anyway!! 💠
You have a gift. Even if you never developed it, it’s there.
I believe you 😊
Did you ever predict anymore? Or was it a once off
God reveals things like that to us from time to time. The Bible calls it prophecy. Praise Him.
My mom was a huge Elvis fan. She got to see him in concert twice. She passed that love of Elvis to me. I was 14 when he died and remember exactly where I was and what I was doing. When all my friends were into the Beatles, I was the one that said “have you ever listened to Elvis?” My daughter was raised on Elvis (she’s now 25) and still has her “Elvis blankie” she had as a young girl. He was and still is an icon and will never be forgotten.
My comeback to the Beatles fans, "You know who the Beatles listened to? (crickets)
ELVIS❗️"
😆
Edit: tried unsuccessfully to improve formatting
he was so perfect at everything a man with a golden heart
He will always be remembered
What do you admire most about him?🙂
Oh, my gosh. I was 15 when he passed and I, too, remember exactly where I was when I heard the news - camping with my family. Now, all these years later, I still travel back to that campground every year, and am transported back to so many wonderful teenage memories, and one heart-wrenching one.
Thanks for sharing. Forever TCB!
My story is extremely similar to yours, except that I would add that my siblings and I have a stronger appreciation, connection to, and love for Elvis and his music because of the many hours of listening when my mom would play her records. She saw him in concert twice, and took me with her one of those times, and we have pieces of his scarf which was torn when Elvis threw it into the crowd.
I was 12, yrs, old playing in the hallway of our home. Momma went running into the bathroom at the end of the hallway to tell daddy Elvis was dead. 😢
ELVIS COULD SING ANYTHING AND YOU WOULD IMMEDIATELY KNOW IT WAS HIM SINGING ON THE RADIO! HIS VOICE WAS SO UNIQUE AND DREAMY! WOMEN ALWAYS SWOONED WHEN HE SANG, HE WAS SIMPLY GORGEOUS! AND ALL OF HIS MOVIES WERE VERY SIMPLE, BUT YOU WERE JUST SO GLAD TO SEE AND HEAR HIM! IT JUST DIDN'T MATTER! IT WAS HEART BREAKING WHEN HE DIED SO YOUNG! YOU JUST WANTED TO SAY NO, IT CAN'T BE TRUE! ELVIS WAS ADMIRED AND LOVED ALL OVER THE WORLD! HE WAS A DEVOUT CHRISTIAN AND MADE MANY GOSPEL ALBUMS TO PRAISE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. FOR THOSE OF THE 50'S THROUGH THE 70'S, ELVIS WILL FOREVER BE IMMORTALIZED! FOREVER HANDSOME AND FOREVER WITH A DREAMY ROMANTIC VOICE! REST IN PEACE KING OF ROCK N ROLL!
He backslid sadly, he was my faith- 1 God Apostolic, he was baptized In Jesus Name and filled with the HolyGhost with evidence of tongues, but sadly he backslid because he chose fame and rock n roll over Jesus!
Nobody knows what was in Elvis’ heart,for all you know he may have accepted Jesus in his life that very night before he died. Who are we to judge? I think Jesus even said that. I’ve accepted Jesus in my life and I was taught that if you are the biggest sinner in the world but you ask for forgiveness and accept Jesus, you are saved. We don’t know if Elvis told Jesus that night on the way to the bathroom forgive me Lord, I rededicate my life to you and boom he was forgiven and then he died. None of us know another man’s heart
@@blessedbeyondmeasure-sisdeb I was raised apostolic Pentecostal. My mom led song service wore long dresses never cut her hair or wore makeup never cussed or drank she was a great woman example of what a Christian should be. She seen problems on the church where man is worshipped and the congregation hold there noses up and look down on visitors for wearing shorts or having tattoos, the smell of alcohol on the breath. I have seen it myself and I no longer go. The church spends more time running people away than bringing them in, they are no longer fishers of men a sin is a sin. I haven't prayed in 2 years since my mom passed. I watched a faithful servant suffer. It's not rite.

I loved Elvis Beautiful compassionate once in a life time ♥️🌹🎼🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎹🎸🎤
I was 13 years old on my paper route and all of the sudden all these ladies in the neighborhood came out of their houses crying “Elvis died”, really sad, I will never forget
I was 12, playing cards with my twin when it came on the radio😪
What did the hand sign meant
I lived in Bensonhurst Brooklyn at the time and I remember people crying in the streets.
When I was 12, I learned about it while delivering papers on my route, too. I pulled the next copy of the Kenosha News out from my bag for the next customer and happened to catch the headline Elvis Dies. I was confused that I heard nothing about it the previous day but then learned it was late- breaking and the original headline of another story was reported the following day.
I was camping with a friend and her family. Her mom LOVED Elvis. My friend and I heard on the radio that he had died. We didn't tell her because we didn't want to ruin her weekend. She found out later in the day anyway.
Elvis will forever be remembered for being one of the WORLDS GREATEST VOCALISTS & ENTERTAINERS TO HAVE EVER LIVED & SHALL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN EVER!🎶🎤✨👏👑🕯️😇
He was sweating so badly while just sitting at the piano. The sweat was running into his eyes and drops were caught by his eyelashes. It was so sad. I don’t know why his loved ones didn’t even try to get him help. They shot him up with speed just to get him on the stage but he still needed help. I’ve read every book written about him. When the same things were written in multiple books y different people who were there, then I believed that. The rest I tossed out as fabricated. I’ll never forget the day he died. I was in The Smoky Mountains and had to pull over to cry. His doctor should have went to prison and his enablers should be shunned. Instead, all his enablers wrote tell all books and continued to live off of him.
Seems so odd how comparable his death was to Michael Jackson's.
Especially his ex-wife.
@@brookelyn1220 l
Absolutely explained my thoughts & feelings about Elvis perfectly! It’s incredibly sad to see the manipulation and vile abuse of this man.
@@brookelyn1220 And MJ married his Daughter.
One time when when I worked for FedEx, a trainer came up from Memphis and he said that when he was a kid, his family was out for a Sunday drive and he was sitting in the back seat…as they sat at a light, the trainer looked over and there was Elvis sitting on a motorcycle…he said that Elvis smiled at him obviously tickled at the young boy’s sense of awe and drove off as the light changed
I lived in Whitehaven and attended Whitehaven Methodist Day School across the street from his home. We saw him riding his horses in the side yard and on his 3 wheeler. We also used the same dry cleaners and his concert costumes were always hanging for all to see. I was 12 when he died.
@@jeanfrost5452 wow! Great story! I always hear that you were either a Cash fan or an Elvis fan. My mom always said you were either a Stones fan or a Beetles fan. But not both equally.
I saw him twice in Alabama...there will never be anyone else like him...it was like the whole building shook before he came on stage..literally bring tears to your eyes....you expected God himself to come out on stage with him..your whole body trembling!
He’s just a person ! No one should feel that way about anyone but God Himself
@@1andonly222 I agree, but it just lends to the fact that music is very powerful. I used to go to Oak Mtn Amphitheater and felt that same energy with some of the bands I saw. It is incredible. Imagine if it were all 4God tho.
Not just a person. Not at all. The KING!!! Have some respect!
@@brandonhill6351 he’s not king to me

This was in Cincinnati, my hometown and a friend of mine was there at the concert.
I love when girls were screaming "you're the king" at him, he said, No, there's only one King & pointed to Heaven, King Jesus🙏🏼
That's right! Elvis directs ppl to the ONLY TRUE KING 👑☝️.... Still spreading the KINGDOM of GOD today!!!
Could you imagine if entertainers said that today? They would be immediately black listed and booed. Our culture is destroyed.

@@lydia4315 ....Elvis said it!... Yet, to me, yes, because He endured a horrible death on the Cross for my sins.🙏🏼
@@1lyonman766 and I wonder how it is your sins he died for when all that stuff was 2000 years ago when weren't even born at the time
He changed the face of music. A soulful, talented man whom I believe was just a pawn for the greedy people around him. They yreated him like a cash cow, doping him up to keep him running on their treadmill. It is the same tragic story played over and over in the entertainment industry. Greed rules the roost.
That's sadly true and they believe they must do it or ppl lose interest in them !
I love your comment being a 80's baby and seeing Michael, Whitney, Prince etc be done the same way it's beyond sad! Then knowing how it will play out for many more to come is also sad RIP ELVIS PRESLEY 🤍
Absolutely right
Most certainly!
They have insurance policies on them. They call it the “death clause” in the music biz.
I'll never forget hearing the news of his death announced via my little radio... I went running into the living room to my mother screaming Elvis is dead Elvis is dead, my brother loudly retorted back "No he's not, I told them how I had heard it on my radio... My MaMa proceeded to turn on the TV and it was being announced... My brother instantly started crying as well... RIP Elvis I'll meet you one day in the by and by...
Hallelujah

I asked another kid why all the Elvis and he said, “Didn’t you hear? They found him dead in his bathroom today”.😢
We went to a record store later and bought several of his records. There were lots of others doing the same.

Before Elvis was famous my grandpa was at this little place where small artists would come to sing and he came to meat with some friends as he left he held the door for a man with a guitar and he recognized him from the paper he read that morning it was Elvis. As he left he shook hands with him.

I was 16 years old and had just gotten off work. Got in my truck and turned on the radio going down the road and they were playing Elvis music. I thought to myself, thats kind of odd. Then the DJ came on and said you have been listening to a tribute to now the late Elvis Presley.
I was washing dishes that happened to me.
Yeah they lied. He faked his death and lived to be 85
Im 81 now and ELVIS was so talented. So handsome and so kind. I was heartbroken when he died. There can never be a talent to equal him. RIP Elvis dear. 🙏
Absolutely Agree!
Listen to pastor Bob Joyce. His voice is so calming. He has some albums out with beautiful songs. His sermons are wonderful.
@@Waiting_777 That might be true about Bob but,. Just Know,. Bob’s Not Elvis! Bob’s 17 years younger than Elvis! Also,. A lot of the time they Dub Elvis’s voice on top of Bob’s! So,.

He’s Practiced trying to sound like Elvis for a very long time! So,. Also,. Bob’s from TX.,. He’s got a southern accent! There’s a difference between a TX accent & a MS., accent,.

@Randy Benson That’s Lot’s not lost! Anyway,. I don’t know why people assume Elvis had So Much money! He Really Didn’t! He only had about 5 Million in the bank when he Died! Oh,.&. Elvis would Never have done that to his Dad much less his daughter! His Dad wasn’t in good health! Besides,. Elvis Loved being Elvis!!! He would Never want to stop! He Loved what he was doing! He had a whole lot going on & was going into a bunch of new things! He was Not even Close to slowing down!!! Elvis Died from the 3rd heart attack he had on August 16th!

Valeu Elvis
People talking about Elvis sweating, I tried to keep up the tempo, shaking, side kicks, moving like he did, and I wasn’t even wearing that hot ass half leather, spandex type material his costumes were made of is like wearing a plastic trash bag. Talk about HOT and the lighting on him he was in about 95-102 heat abs I had to stop about 6 1/2 minutes, that man did it for 2 hours. Hell I’d be sweating fire ball by then too! That’s pure solid fan devotion
+25 peanut banana sandwich + 8 or 9 presciption meds but he aint dead E.T gave him a ride home
So freaking TRUE....and that awful wide, encumbering, belt...even small thin belts make me sweat more easily!
I was thinking of mentioning this but you said it perfectly. That stage/costume/lights HAVE to be hot!!
Not only that but he was HORRIFICALLY ILL during this time. He had 24/7 nurse. Nine of his 11 systems were shutting down. He was in the middle of congestive heart failure - hence the abdomen and face. Notice his skinny legs, arms and hands... that's NOT FAT.

I remember here in Australia when the news broke of his death. Myself, my mother and my grandmother teared up. How many entertainers can say they have that affect over 3 generations.
I was at home watching a tiny black and white TV in my bedroom when I heard it. I cried. My grandpa had died early that year as well. So sad.

@@caroleclifford2138 exactly. There is only one idol in this life you should have. Not these evil Hollywood elites. Sick world won’t know what hit them when the day comes. Infact the end of times is here and they still don’t see it.
I stayed with my Mom every single weekend for several years. We watched her favorite artist, ELVIS, from morning till night. She passed away last May. I have a hard time listening to Elvis now without her. I'm sure someday I will again. I miss her a lot.
The hand signs Elvis was doing was a version of the Tiger Claw, it looks like, which is also part of the Salute of the Ed Parker American Kenpo Karate schools that is performed when addressing the Master in the Dojo or school and also when entering and leaving the fighting mat or ring during tournament matches or when sparring in class.
In the "Thumbnail" for this video you see a man to the left on screen, that is the late Grand Master Mr. Ed Parker Sr. who was the first person to break tradition of the Okinawa School of Karate by teaching white and non Asian students Karate in the United States. Elvis became a student and Ed Parker was his master, Bodyguard and mentor. Some of the first generation black belt students of Mr. Parker were also Elvis bodyguards. A couple of those black belts were my instructors in the late 1970s early 1980s . Ed Parker also founded the world famous Long Beach International Karate Tournament where Bruce Lee fought and Mr. Parker appeared in Bruce Lee movies and other well known films during the 1960s and '70s. Elvis loved Karate and used forms and Katas in his stage moves, like punches and kicks.
Oh wow thankyou! That is so interesting. My heart hurts when I think of how desperate he must have felt for so long. There really is nothing like the despair you feel with depression. What's left when you think there's no hope of getting out of that pit. I hope karate gave him respite and peace, if only for a while. 💜
Thank you for this ❤
Thats not true, traditional Japanese karate chito-ryu, which has transfered to Yoshukia here was brought over by Mr. yammamotto , rayburn nichols, mike foster. And kung fu was brought here by none other than bruce lee with his equivalent of Yoshukai , Jeetkwando. This was the 50s and 60s but near miami fl
@@joshualevelle3886 --- I think you are correct about that. But I'm not talking about Japanese Karate, I'm talking about Okinawa, which is still Japanese, until you talk to anyone from Japan or Okinawa. Okinawa is almost its own country in the minds of the Japanese people.
I don't have time to go into the history of Okinawa, its people, and the history of martial arts in Okinawa and the differences between traditions in society and in the Karate that developed on Okinawa, and those same things in Japan at that time and for 1000 years prior. But, you may want to check it out.
I'm not claining to be an expert or even very knowledgeable about this, I'm just going on what I do know and from stories told to me by my instructors who are the first generation black belts of the late Grand Master, of American Kenpo Karate, Mr. Ed Parker Sr. . Of those instructors of mine, the Master at the school I trained at was Mr. Chuck Sullivan, who after the passing of Mr. Parker, became the new Grand Master of American Kenpo Karate. I've had the pleasure and honor to have Dan Inosanto, Steve Sanders, and other legends instruct and train (very lightly) with me and the other black belts in our school. Mr. Inosanto gave us a Win Chung machine or dummy to have in our school.
I'm sure you've heard of Mr.'s Inosanto, Sanders, and Sullivan. If not, you may like reading about these men. There are other instructors who taught at the school that if you look up under the first generation of black belt students of Mr.Parker you'll find interesting. Look up the school called Karate Connection, owned by Vic La Rux, that is where I trained before they went all commercial and doing training from DVDs and other things I didn't really like.
@@jakelang4387 ---- nice try. Elvis was Baptist and grew up and into his adulthood loved and sang Gospel music.
And if you read my comments, he and I were taught Karate by the same people, I know what his hand gestures are, I explained them already.
You may be correct about some thing you read or a video you watched about certain signs used in the entertainment industry, which I also work in and there is some evil sh*t going on in certain levels of the business.
There's something about Elvis that everyone loves whether you were a man or a woman young or old, even old Grandma's would go to his concerts and look like they were in love, men would shake his hand and have a look like they just shook Jesus's hand. Amazing

Even though I was so young, I could feel that this was a once in a lifetime experience and I was very lucky to be there.
I have very vivid memories of the powerful music and his voice- so incredible, despite what many now say.
I will never forget him talking to the guy right behind me (with his knees in my head, lol), 3 ladies in the parking lot fighting over one of his scarves, and even what I was wearing that night, Lol.
I think his final show was the 25th in indiana or something
I saw Elvis live twice. The first time was at the Astrodome (Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo) in 1974. I was 10 years old. I'll never forget it. My parents bought me and my little brother souvenirs. I got a flag that said: I ❤ Elvis... and I still do.
You must have been 3 liar
it's been over 40 yrs since his death, hearing that music, seeing him on this little clip, I still get mesmerized by the man, unless your from that era, you don't understand the impact Elvis had on people,, he's one of kind!🌞🌛🌟
Very True

You're so Right 🕺🕺🕺
Its 50 years and he still gives me Chills!!

That’s true
Everyone talks about “fat” Elvis but now he would be looked at as downright skinny compared to most of America
Yes and being a man a couple of months of Keto and he would have lost the weight easily.
He had water retention it's not fat his organs are failing

True. But toward the end, he treated his body like a garbage can.
I was born in 77 and my mother still played his records. I'm glad she did because it gave me a appreciation for what an amazing voice he had and what a great performer he was.

Same here - June '77. My mom remembers as a kid listening to Elvis' gospel album at bedtime, and she introduced my kids to it. Just tonight my seven year old son asked to listen to "Gonna Walk Them Golden Stairs" as he was going to sleep!
My daughter was born August 11,1977
My heart broke and I cried when I heard the news of Elvis passing away.
I felt like heaven itself was crying. It poured rain that day😪
Me too... I was born shortly before he passed and that piece of information was one of my first memories. My mom was due on August 16th 1977.... It was a hot and humid summer and she was sick of being pregnant so all of her friends got together and told her to try jumping up and down, the rode the city bus all over town .. lol ..... But nothing made her labor pains start. The next morning, August 8, 1977 my mom woke up and she said that she felt weird but really didn't know why..... Well in a few hours she knew why lol.... I was born the morning of August 8th. When Elvis passed my mom took it as hard as she would have had he actually been family. She was devastated. She put his records away and for years..... years! She could never listen to another song of his. Then when I was 4, on the anniversary of his death she opened the box and slowly took out all of her records. 1 by 1 she played each and everyone as she cried herself dry. I remember seeing her so sad and not understanding why. Finally she called me over and sat me on her lap and she said, " I tha k God everyday that you decided to come early. I don't know if my heart could of handled the best day of my life happening on the same day that I got my first heartbreak.....sometimes you just got thank the lord for the little things he does that you never asked for...... I want you to listen to these with me and tell me what you think.". And I did.... I cried during some songs because his heartbreak felt like my own..... I laughed along listening to a live album..... It was like he was in the room and man, he was charismatic!!! And I vowed that I would never fall in love unless they could make me feel the way I felt when I heard Elvis sing about love....... And I didn't until I met my high school sweetheart, my husband of 30 years. When I fell for him, I finally felt the kind of love the only Elvis Presley could sing about and that love has never wavered........ Elvis inspired people long after his body left the mortal realm- his spirit, his legacy, and his talent were and will always be.....evermore..,
I grew up listening to his music at a very young age. My father who was a barely 5 ft. Black man who loved to sing "all shook up," and thought he was Elvis! We loved him.
You and me both Pamela. 👍 It's so amazing how much our dads love Elvis Presley. When ALOHA FROM HAWAII hit the record store shelves my mom, myself, and brother were camping with my grandparents. My dad and my uncle, both of whom were and still literally are Elvis super fans, stayed behind because they both had to work, but came up the next day to our campsite. Ok so brace yourself Pamela and make sure your bladder is empty because it's gonna get good !!! LMFAOOOOOO. Ok so both my dad and uncle were off work. My dad got the beer and the ALOHA FROM HAWAII record, and my uncle brought flashlights and batteries. They put on their own FLASHLIGHT ELVIS concert...They took turns all night. One was Elvis and one held the flashlights to give the spotlight effect.then they'd switch. They each had towels tied around the neck like a cape like Elvis did. The funniest part of ALL this Pamela is this took place in the 1970's. I was 5 years old or so when this happened...my dad barely told me all this less than 10 years ago or so. My uncle is no longer with us. He was riding his bike and was hit by a car. Died instantly. I'm sorry for babbling on and on. I met Elvis when I was 5 years old and I got a dime tour of his plane the LISA MARIE !!!! 👍🌹💕🥰😁😎🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷👀🤯😱💯❤️🥳🎉🌈😳💖
My dad, too. But he'd take his teeth out first. 🤣
@@pumpkinpuna4087 so cute, they were cool
Sounds like a good man to be around
@@pumpkinpuna4087 Great memories! I grew up on Elvis music also from beginning to end. I’m sorry about your uncle.. terrible loss! Thank you for sharing your wonderful memories with us! 🎶🎙🎚
I saw him on this tour when he played in Philly in spring 77. I was ten years old, and my mom got us tickets as an early birthday present. I still remember how spectacular it was. I was too young to be concerned about his health or weight issues, I thought the whole thing was amazing
JI was at the philly concert as well. Elvis loved the philly fans from what i heard
@@stever1791 Philly is (or at least was) a rock and roll town. I haven't lived there since I was in my 20s, but I spent countless nights in the arenas, theaters, clubs, and bars catching live shows from hundreds of different bands and musicians.
@@christheghostwriter Yep , The Main Point was a classic spot. And some downtown Pubs
@@stever1791 who is jl?
@@mjlives5428 a typo brother. He hit "j" by mistake I'm guessing when he just meant to type "I". Anyway, yes, I am a huge fan too. Love seeing these clips of him, honoring the Kings awesome performances!
When we put our fingers up like that in church that meant that we were excusing ourselves during the preaching or whoever was in the pool pit. For a sign of respect.
Don’t know where you went to Church. Never heard of that before. Church of God, some Babtist Churches raise their hand in praise. Are they showing respect when going to bathroom.???
My mom introduced Elvis Presley to me and my siblings…I fell in love with this most talented, gorgeous being!
I watched the Elvis movie a week ago, I cried like a child..my heart broke in two! I was so young I didn’t know his whole life story!
I love him more, he didn’t deserve all that was done to him, taken from him! I understand why Presila still loved him. They kept him away from all that loved him, for money!!!
I know he like the original star trek but can only be as one in the whole generation became now! ,✌️👍🤟
Elvis was devoted to his Mama, The Lord and his fans. There will never be another like him. God sent him to show us what greatness looks like!!👑👑👑
And hot dog buns. Devoted to hotdog buns, the lord, his mama, pills, his underage wife and the lord.
No he sent Christ to show is what greatness was!!
@@geni2906
No. All gods are made up by humans.
The lord he served isn’t the one in heaven. Devil horns show his allegiance to satan. You don’t throw those for fun
So-called big Elvislooked better than the average man today. We are in a health crisis
You’re out of your mind. Elvis was a slob
He wasnt just "big" though. He was extremely unhealthy around this time. He was water retentive, and also had an impacted colon with over 20 lbs of feces inside it at this point. Alot of that "gut" you're looking at on Elvis, isnt even weight! (Okay but Yes, I understand, he DID in fact gain weight though, this is true) its severe water retention, followed by extreme gut/bowel distension. Its really sad honestly :(
He looked the best when he was sweating profusely after taking large amounts of amphetamines and opiates while being fat and a pervert
Drugs always make you thinner
American food is loaded with sugar, by design, FDA and the medical field profit from dying Americans
Rest In Heavenly Peace🙏🤍🕊🙏♥️
I doubt it considering he’s throwing satanic devils horns
a warrior's goodbye are the signs and gestures he's using. there's also a greeting gesture and many more. these gestures are rooted in karate....."open hand"
Not the open hand....the aluminati signal
@@samanthaclark1035
Yup... throwing horns, like they all do.
Thank You.....looking at responses to the question about his hand gesture.....THANKS AGAIN🙏
Well he also has the Phoenix Rising on his suit. Occultism -- Satan worship like all of them do. That's who they're working for. That's their god whom they serve and worship. He's a liar. He promises them fame and riches. But The One True God says, "What does it prophet a man to gain the whole world yet forfeit his soul." (to eternal damnation in hell)
We sooo need to wake up :(
Thank u so much for explaining it. U would think that they would had explained it to us n the clip

@@mamad2609 He passed away in August 1977
Religious whackos.
I was 13 years old, my mom had sent me to the grocery store to pick up some vanilla ice cream. When I got home, she was listening to the radio with tears in her eyes, when I asked her what was wrong she said " Elvis Presley just died a few hours ago". I never forgot the anguished look on her face.😢😢😢

Nice
Wow. What was your experience like?
Lots of screaming women...i.was looking at them like they was crazy.saw mom rush the stage get a kiss and a scarf..she was on cloud nine that night..great night for her..
Elvis as we know wasn't very well but still gave his all for his fan's, as Elvis loved to do what he loved and reached every note what a incredible voice and magnificent charisma that's our beautiful Elvis 👑👑
Still the BEST EVER!!!❤
Elvis was very constipated and prescription drug addicted.
Elvis Presley is the best🎀👏👏👏🎀
I like to play at violin the songs of Elvis. Listen this: ruclips.net/video/jliBr0Dol8E/видео.html
Total devotion
@@larryn2682 True,a lot of those prescription drugs can constipated you really bad,in 1969,I was operated on in a U.S.Army hospital and after all of the drugs they used on me,I had to have a couple of enemas to get me cleaned out.
Last show was at the Field House Arena Indianapolis Indiana. The 2nd to the last live concert before Indiana was Civic Center in Rapid City South Dakota. 70,000 pop.(Metro population as of 2020) in 1977, when Elvis played the metro pop was 40k. I was 8 yrs old and lived in rapid city. My whole family ❤ Elvis and were in attendance and were very worried about the King. he profusely sweat the whole set. sang a lot of hit songs w/eyes closed & kept forgetting numerous lyrics to his hit songs. I remember my grandmother visually tearing 😢 up answering "how was the Elvis concert?"
It's just so incredibly sad that Tom Parker only ever saw him as a money making machine and not a person.
Elvis just refused to fire him, afraid of where his career would go & desperate not to abandon someone who he thought of as his friend he kept him as his manager & listened to no one else.
Tom Parker kept him in Los Vegas & refused to let him record with other artists and to experiment for fear of losing control over him.
Elvis was so loved that fan's were just happy to see him on stage & didn't realise how sad & depressed he really was.
Totally agree!
Yes agreed. Elvis was a shell of a person who was on so many uppers and downers he could barely function. He was molded into a product by a team of people close to him. They jist saw cash and passed the blame onto his manager after it went the full course
@@tsuSOTSsuepaul I 2nd that Susan 😓
OUCH.., but it’s 100% true
Parker was a narcissist
Bloated from medication, but sang his heart out, LEGENDARY.
He really wasn't all that big. It was those jump suits he wore those last few years. They ARE NOT flattering to anyone unless you don't have AN OUNCE of extra weight. He had gained a few pounds, yes, but He wasn't really THAT FAT. It's the jumpsuits that made him appear huge. They were very unforgiving.
@TTaylor I love Elvis, but I'm not going to lie, unfortunately Elvis's prescription drug usage caused his metabolism to shut down, which also caused massive weight gain. If you look at Elvis in his jump suits during the early 1970s, he looked extremely good, fit and trim. Elvis went from a trim 165 pounds in the early 1970s to a massive 240 pounds by 1977. That's BIG.
@@precbsfender Yes he had gained some weight as compared to his "regular weight" but 250 for a 6ft tall man is not this super obese blob like people make him out to be. Joe Esposito who was there everyday with him says that's a myth that he was this huge 300 pound obese person. He was out of shape yes. But not this comical caricature that people have made him out to be. As you see him walk away in this video, different angles show that he wasn't SUPER FAT.
@TTaylor I agree, there's been so many lies told about Elvis, for instance, the fried peanut butter and banana sandwich thing, when in reality, according to Linda Thompson, Elvis never ate them. You have to take everything said about Elvis with a grain of salt. No doubt about it, Elvis was the biggest star in world history, but unfortunately he became a victim of his own success.
@@hatefullll Stll walked pretty agile and fast for someone ill or overweight. Drug doctors like MJ'S. Should havecprescribed a few months , year vacation to get his nutrition, etc in shape.
His last time on TV but definitely not his last time on stage. The tour continued for another month. His final show was June 1977 in Indianapolis.
5 days more
@@Elvis1970s I know, but it wasn’t over before another month.
@@PurpleRain500 Yeah🥺
His last show was in June and he died in August? I didn't realize it was that long in between
That was a cool video, cause it showed Ed Parker, Sr., whose house we used to have morning Seminary at cause his daughters and sons were in my class. Those were good times, and because Mr. Parker had such a long relationship with Elvis, he told us sooooo many stories of his generosity and kindness! Such great memories!
My 21 yr old daughter just loves Elvis . Just had her first tattoo of his signature on her arm ..he's her first real love ❤️
Has she been to Graceland? It's awesome! I didn't like the recent documentary movie about him. I thought it was negative and depressing. Graceland on the other hand is uplifting and shows more I his happy side.
@@CJGfarm it was awful. They should have called it the death of mlk through the eyes of Elvis.
My 20yr. old daughter loves Elvis, too.
Yeah that's not something to be proud of. Elvis was sick in the head.
Elvis was so polite. His mother and dad taught him always to be a gentleman.
There was a bad car accident outside the gates of Graceland as Elvis was on the property. He told a member of the Memphis Mafia to make sure all the people involved didn't pay any out of pocket for any medical bills from it. Elvis paid for everything. Hospital care, ambulance etc..I met Elvis when I was 5. I got a tour of his plane LISA MARIE.
Resurfaced article claims Elvis Presley was a pedophile, rapist
News piece quotes 'Elvis Presley: A Southern Life', in which the author wrote singer had girlfriends as young as 14…. The King of Rock and Roll Elvis Presley was a pedophile and had girlfriends as young as 14 while he was on tour at age 22, it has now been revealed in a book.
Author Joel Williamson shared Elvis kept a group of three 14-year-old girls with him on the tour who were up "for pillow fights, tickling, kissing and cuddling", Vice reported in a 2016 article, which recently resurfaced.
In Elvis Presley: A Southern Life, Williamson also alleged that Elvis cheated on his 15-year-old girlfriend Dixie Locke when he was 19. Dixie and Elvis dated between early 1953 and October 1955.
He writes, "There had been a river of sex before, now there was a flood." From 1958 until his death in 1977, he always needed a woman or girl in bed.
Williamson also claims Elvis was "obsessed with virginity", sleeping with two 26-year-old self-proclaimed virgins in August 1970.
Priscilla eventually cheated on Elvis, and according to her book, Child Bride: The Untold Story of Priscilla Beaulieu Presley, she told him of the affair.
When she arrived in Memphis to announce she was no longer in love with him and was separating, he went into a jealous rage and raped her. She writes that Elvis grabbed her and "forcefully made love" to her, saying, "This is how a real man makes love to his woman." The duo separated in 1972 and got divorced a year later.
"Thus, the love affair between Elvis and Priscilla ended, ignominiously, with spousal rape," the book noted…..🙄🙄😬😤🤔🤔

Ill always remember where I was when I heard he died.
Where were you?
Where were you???
@@kimjongun269 Supreme Leader, my guess is he was having dinner with Hans Brix.😡.
@Pete J.
Same for me. I was at the Ohio State Fair, which is one of the largest state fairs in America. They had to announce it about 5 times before they could get everyone's attention. There were people screaming and fainting. Even some of the rides and games on the Midway shut down so everyone could hear. Only Elvis could command that
kind of attention.
I was 5 months old and my dad and older brother remained huge fans and I knew his music and til this day when people ask ju birthday I say it but then I'll say for the year I was born the year elves died
Mum was a massive fan. She passed recently , and his songs bring so much comfort. She even had “how great thou are “ blaring out at her funeral as her coffin was being carried in… ❤
Grew up listening to the King of rock and roll and now he will always be a massive part of my life x😊
I tried to list down singers who would come close to how handsome, genius and talented with such a charming and sexy personality as him and no one came close. He really was the total package. My heart breaks at his tragic ending. So young but he completely changed and shaped music. Long live the king of rock ‘n roll.
❤ Katherine-Well said!🌹
It's a different gen now - non talents and no personality!
No wonder our world is the way it is.
Never was a big fan of Elvis but as years went by, I started being more interested in him. I’ve watched so many movies about him and saw his most recent in the theater. Colonel Parker used him for everything and anything. So did his father. It’s very sad how they exploited him for their own pockets. Elvis was extremely generous and a religious person. He was the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen in movies and his voice never cracked with age. He truly was the king of rock n roll and was truly blessed. As far as the hands go, couldn’t tell ya but I seriously doubt it was the 666 sign. Don’t read into this people. Besides my cousin is an Elvis freak and goes all over to see Elvis entertainers so I’ll ask her.
LONG LIVE THE KING!
He was a pervert and drug addict, you apparently missed all that.
He didn't like it when people called him king; he told people the King is Jesus he's in Heaven
Yes, come to think of it after I viewed this video a couple of times; the hand gestures Elvis was showing are freemasons hand signs in spite of him claiming Jesus is King, but we don't know for sure that he might of turned to Jesus and got saved before he died.
His Father loved him he didn't use him.
I saw Elvis in concert about 2-3 months before he passed away. My mother being a lifetime Elvis fan excitedly asked how the concert and Elvis was. I told her it was rather sad to me. He was horribly bloated and looked like death. I told her it wouldn't surprise me if he died soon. Sure enough he did, only a couple months later. It was really sad seeing him that way. A man who was referred to as "The King" reduced to such a poor state of health. People demanded so much of him. I really don't believe he would have done the drugs he did do, if it hadn't been to keep up with the overbearing demands of his fans. But I still remember the handsome, extremely talented young man he once was before he became basically owned by his fans. It's really sad what the showbiz and music industry can do to The most talented performers, singers and actors. Hope you're living large in the ever-after paradise and making beautiful music 🎶 🎵 for your Momma up above with you. Hopefully, your look-alike grandson is there with you too?!!
I seen in 1976.Yes they used him all they could for money.He died cause he was simply constipated off all the drugs he was made to take cause of the money demand.Sad.😡😞
Don't blame his "overbearing fans" ( your words not mine) blame Elvis first and foremost. Then I'd go with the Colonial Tom Parker & his own crew.
@@dmzabo3914 Thank you, as "choice not chance determines destiny. " There is no improvement without some personal accountability.
He slept with children. Why do you ignore that ?

My aunt, she just passed away on Valentine’s Day, absolutely love Elvis. She had all the 45s back in the early 60s when I was so damn young four, five years old, around there. Never really liked them that much, but learned to respect what he did. He was the king.
I was too young to get swept up, but we got internet and I realized what my aunt Sharon and so many other women saw. Elvis was such a beautiful man. I recently found out he had a twin that died as a baby.
Although there would be sadness over that tiny life lost, I wonder if his twin added to his energy?
He loved Anne Margaret! I loved Anne Margaret! I’m sure behind the scenes his life was complicated, but he was a born star ✨ he had a job to do, and he did it AMAZINGLY! He belonged to all of us.
I remember exactly where I was when they announced his death. The whole world stopped that day for a bit. I’m sure where ever it is we go when we die, he’s over there being as magical and beautiful as ever ✨🕊✨

I totally agree with Kathryn Layfield. Elvis was one of a kind. He was down to earth WITH A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR and most of all selfless giving. His gospel songs were so ever-soothing with his velvety voice. His ALOHA FROM HAWAII concert via satellite all over the world was groundbreaking. He had a big loving heart for his family, friends, all of his audiences (that he lived to perform for), and especially to those in need. He was full of compassion and had a trusting nature. I TRULY believe with all of my heart that he had NO MALICE and let's not get started on his EXTREMELY GOOD LOOKS, full lips and those dreamy bedroom eyes. I've been goo-goo-eyed over him since I was 9 years old (over 50 years), and I guess I always will be until my dying day. I have watched all of his movies OVER and OVER and will continue to do so.. What a man! God bless his soul.
What an amazing performer. 44yrs gone, and we're still watching him, so did he really leave the building?
Elvis may have gotten into his car and left every building in which he performed. Elvis has never left our homes or our hearts he lives on as long as we who love him continue to listen to him and dream of him!

My mom took me to see him when I was 6yo, it was her 3rd time to see him March 25, 1977, I still have the concert stubs. Something I'll never forget.
Who remembers where they were when you heard about his passing? It was such a sad day!
The day the music died...😞
I remember, was sitting on the living room floor, close to the Delivery of my ecoond child. It's a wonder I didn't go into labor when the anouncement came over the TV! How shocking, sad and terrible those words were! I will never forget that dark day!
I was on my front porch when I read about Elvis's passing I cried so hard you would have thought that it was one of my family or realities that had passed.
I had just got home from work and my mom told me Elvis had
died so I called the local radio station and they confirmed it.
I certainly remember I that day, I'll never forget it.. My husband, and I, along with our kids were on our way home to Ca, from a vacation to Al. I had been outside Graceland a yr before that day while on vacation with just one of my daughters, one of my cousins, and her only kid, just to check it out.. But on this day and being so close, and my husband never being there, and while trying to surprise me, why not? WOW it was the BIGGEST surprise, and shock that I've ever had. When we got to the corner of Graceland the streets were full of people you could not drive through it and at that moment as we turn the corner the news came on and announced that Elvis Presley was dead. Talk about a shock it was the biggest shock of my life. The streets were so full of people there was no way to drive through without running over people so my husband, being the smart ass he is politely and jokingly said oh well I guess we don't have to go now and he flipped a u-turn and went back on the freeway. He said it jokingly but it was not a joke and I cried all the way home, and off and on for a few weeks. We've been back there since on our way to and fro home to Ala each time, and I always sign the wall around Graceland, and our kids and granddaughters have written their name on the wall at Graceland, and why not? All the kids on both sides of our family have learned to appreciate Elvis and they don't mind listening to him anymore in fact they expect it and nothing less! I almost forgot that our youngest granddaughter had to do a thousand word paper for school the 7th grade, her subject was Elvis Presley, and she cehose it on her own and she got all her information from her grandma, me I think it brought us closer together as if we weren't close enough bcuz you can never be too close to your family. LOL!
I've always loved Elvis and felt extra special for being born on his birthday. Fast forward a bunch of years and I gave birth to my third and last child, my only son, on Lisa Marie's birthday!
So very sad that he left us way too soon. His voice still gives me goosebumps. RIP x💜x
Look up Pastor Bob Joyce

@@marypatton5318 same Mary! I was the exact same age, but my birthday is in September.
I remember what street we were at when it came on our AM radio, in my moms mustard color 69 Chevy Vega…. We were at a stop sign, turning right, we had just pulled out of our driveway and we were at the end of our street…. I remember the sound of the blinker even…. The radio was on low…. It was a radio station called “62 KGW”…..”Elvis Presley, the King of rock and roll has died”…… my mom instantly said “what…. What did they say? They said that Elvis is dead?? What?? That can’t be right…. Omg…. Is that what they said??? No!!! No!! This has to be a mistake”….. and my mom
Started to cry…. He was HUGE for her generation! She was in high school when he was at the height of his career! She was devastated….
We went in a loop around our neighborhood and went home. We turned on the TV and called my grandma….. I even remember what we had for dinner…. Salisbury steak TV dinners…. 💔💔💔
@@trina7274thanks for share'n 🎶 its amaze'n how tragedy can seem like only yesterday 🤔💔😯
He now sings, and prays Jesus Christ will touch all people. Amen&Amen
I'm a 58 year old, life long fan of Elvis. I was in the audience in Mobile Alabama when he performed his last concert. It was a humbling experience when he walked on stage and heartbreaking when he made his exit. I was just a teenager then and had every intention of stealing him away from whoever he was with as soon as I got a little older. You would have thought someone ripped my heart out the day he died. If I make it to Heaven, he's mine ❤
The whole world will miss him forever.
Elvis' last concert ever is being claimed by everyone. The unchained melody performance in Iowa claims it also. Elvis' last concert was June 26th 1977 at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis, Indiana.
My dad took me to the concert in Mobile, he told me it was his last concert. I took his word for it then and I think I'll continue to take it now... right or wrong. It's not about where he stood on stage last for me, it's about how lucky I felt to be standing right in front of him. The moment was short, but his presence was powerful. It's a memory that's lasted my entire life and I wouldn't tarnish it by arguing over where he was seen in concert last. I'm just so happy that I got to see him ❤
What a beautiful memory to share with your Dad 💖 Thank you for sharing.
I'm sure they meant last one he did near Mobile.My mom said he played at the fair in early years in Mobile where she saw him.
Then you'll never make it to heaven. Hence the 10th commandment.
My mother was at his last concert at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis, which was the greatest place to ever see a concert because of the acoustics. They placed a plack in remembrance of his last show after tearing the Arena down.
Elvis still living
In the heart of millions people good people
Yes I truly agree. Mine being one of those hearts

More than just in our hearts,he is still with us.

Elvis just left the building but never left from my heart ❤️ u for ever
Well said my friend
He might have left the building but he will not leave are ❤️
I waited for hours with my college roommate to buy tickets to see Elvis at The Myriad in Oklahoma City (Price:$12.50.) My roommate was a huge Elvis fan. I was a Beatle's fan and had not really spent much time listening to Elvis. But here we were two twenty year-old college guys waiting in line with hundreds of women. I was starting to like this Elvis idea. The show was electrifying. Yes, he was older, less animated and a bit puffy. But, I have never seen a person on stage more captivating and charismatic. He was a phenomenal entertainer and he sang with a unique passion. Elvis at 42 died a year later and my roommate unfortunately passed away around the same time at the age of 21. Elvis as an entertainer truly lived up to the hype. I've seen Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Mick Jagger, Prince, Justin Timberlake, Brittney Spears, etc. Elvis exuded a whole other level of charisma. One of a kind.
Probably the biggest musical legend ever to walk the planet! Its staggering to think about what he achieved in his life. He inspired me to get on stage and sing his songs to keep his memory alive! On a different note, I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when MJ walked through the pearly gates! #awkward!!😬
Two greats Richard.

You'll always be the absolute best and even..as they laid you to rest, we knew that with each passing year our love for you would only grow stronger. Elvis, with you, we've loved, we've laughed and we've cried. Elvis,with your up coming birthday, I know you can see, I know you can feel . the millions of people.. worldwide,that are now friends.. because of you. We all stand United in memory.. of you. Happy Heavenly Birthday Elvis, we... will... remember... YOU !!! ❤❤❤

Backstage at good old MSA Market Square Arena. People in Indianapolis were still talking about this show when he died as it was just a few weeks before.
The King has his princess back now. 💙
