Yes Shonen..I'm with you . .💯you must be SO PROUD of her .🥰I saw her on stage with the S I. And Elvis late nov.69. And invited into a modest hotel room with his family and friends.Priscilla not there..😁he flirted with me but I didn't take advantage of it. Sometimes I do regret some things.😔love that man .💘
1992 This same sweet lady walked into the Christian bookstore I was working in and the first thing I noticed about her was the TCB necklace she was wearing around her neck...I asked her where'd she get the necklace from because only Elvis Presley gave those out..She said yes I used to sing backup for him! That's when I realized who she was! I said it's very nice to meet you! God Bless you! She responded "Thank you God has been good to me!" I didn't want to take up too much of her time so I allowed her to look around our store...She was very sweet and friendly!
She had no reason to. She had her part in writing history together with Elvis. In just about all of his legendary performances from 1969-1977 she played a pivotal part. Majestic!
Very true, and all the inspirations only had good things to say about him, along with pretty much everyone who worked with him or knew him. He was a great humanitarian, one of a kind, God blessed the man.
James Burton is one of the greatest guitar players of all time. He played with The King but also with many other legends as well. There are many guitar enthusiast or guitar buffs that when you say "James Burton" they say whos that?
Hey Eric, I was 12 when I saw Elvis blow out 4 shows at Madison Square Garden.. I only saw one, and lucky I had the 10 dollars and car fare to see that.. Changed my life forever, and you are dead on.. Not more than 5 minutes into the show, I'm looking all around the stage thinking, 'where is the 2nd drummer, I only see one drummer on the stage.. As great as he is, he took it to another level for the Garden crowd. He was in some kind of supernatural zone..
@@javierserna1000 Ronnie Tutt was a fabulous drummer. My parents saw Elvis at Carbondale Illinois in the mid 70s. My aunt got his scarf at the same concert. I was only 6 when he passed. I still remember it and where I was at. Blew me away. I was numb
That story of them singing Gospel after the gig ; eating, joking...I never heard that before. I understand why they loved him now, he was the real deal, such a rare thing. I miss him too a bit more now.
The man didn't have a racist bone in his body. He was a great human being that should of never died from that poison so many great singers died from. Thank You miss Estelle bless your Heart.
@@nonamous2098 During Woodstock in 1969 a kind of a squad was formed by members of the police and the population . They were formed as a go between the crowd and the police. Guess what 400,000 attended and no incidents. They solved any grievances that would come up because they were considered neutral. I believe if such a group can be formed between the authorities and the rioters these riots/protests would be a lot more peaceful.
He was the FIRST to tell everyone, I'm Not the King! The King is in Heaven, I'm just an entertainer! He told a group of fans that one night who had bought balcony seats and held a banner reading YOU'RE THE KING.
Hello Andrey, I've often wondered if Elvis' music made over to Russia, or more specifically, into the Soviet Union. Is knowledge of him something that came about after the cold war ended or was his music available during the 'Soviet years' as well? I'm not sure what of 'western culture' was available during those years (both music and TV/Movie wise), but I find that to be very interesting to learn about.
Beautiful lady! Black folks have always had a special place in Elvis’ heart, especially his faithful girls. He stood up for his girls in his first concert in the Astro Dome’s Rodeo. He was a really good man.
I love listening g to Elvis P still today. He was a hugely talented man with good looks, kind and generous what was and is so difficult to live this man. I watched and play his old concerts and I so very much enjoy him his looks singing he is and was the full entire package. May he Rest In Peace🙏💋❤️
Racist people think everyone is racist. A thief can point out another thief in a heart beat. I never about skin colors or racism unless someone shows me they are. Someone once told I rather hang out with someone black like MLK then someone white like Charles Manson. Color has no meaning what so ever character does good and bad in all colors
@@delonhinrichs3974 unfortunately racism never died it is Alive and well! If only racism never existed blacks and whites would be treated equally & fairly
I'm so glad I came over this video I have been defending Elvis Presley's love for African Americans he never said a bad thing about us words and actions prove this in this video rest in peace
My grandparents were his neighbors as kids. She confirms what my grandmother said about his real personality. I agree! I was honestly shocked that he lived near the black side of town. I left other comments on his new movie trailer. To give folks an idea of how he was.
@@roncipriano8352 Ron, don't know how old you are, but I was born in 1970 and I grew up not only with Elvis' music, but when Hip Hop was growing to be a popular art form in the 80's. Chuck D from Public Enemy, with his ignorant ass, said Elvis was "straight up racist the sucker was simple and plain". In my opinion that turned off a whole generation of fans and filled their heads with BS. I watched it happen, thankfully, I was already an Elvis fan and knew that the racism crap was BS! Only now with the many many reaction videos that have been put out, has a whole new generation of fans discovered what Elvis really was and is!
He was racist ( a lot of racists have a few blk friends) but he knew blacks were/are the most talented peeps on earth. He went to blk clubs,churches, back up singers to steal their style. Facts 💯💯💯
@@musicluver94293 Elvis wasn’t racist. That shoe shine quote was false. It’s been disputed already. Elvis donated to black charities, bought his black maids cars and houses and BB King is quoted as saying, “I grew up in Jim Crow south, I know a racist when I see one. Elvis wasn’t a racist”.
A great tribute to the man Elvis really was. We all loved him for his humility and love for ALL people as well as his amazing talent. Thanks Estelle! Elvis definitely made the world a better place!
What a lovely lady ❤ and a very lucky one too to have known and worked with Elvis …..but Elvis only had the best singing with him and the Sweet Inspirations were the best xxx
🤔💥I still feel sad of the thought of how soon he left, and how much I will always loves his music that touches the hearts of so many, and for eternity 💥😮💨
I am from East Africa. My first real introduction to American music as a child was through the Elvis record collection of a school friend. We had our own little informal Elvis fan club
What a lovely lady sharing her memories of Elvis with us. I could listen to her soft, comforting voice all day long. Elvis chose a fantastic group of singers and musicians who will all have their own treasured memories of him.
The best thing America gave the world was and is Elvis Presley! God bless him and his parents. Never forgotten, forever loved. A true legend!😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I hope that Estelle knows that some of us notice the backup singers. It seems that Elvis had a lot of respect for them. Thanks for sharing your memories with us Estelle!
I have always been a fan of Elvis. Elvis never forgot his humble beginnings. His beautiful voice made him rich and famous but I will always believe that in his heart he was always a poor country boy who loved his family, God and his friends.
Estelle I met you 2 times and had sent you gifts from Istanbul Turkey with Portia's help. Hope you are doing well. I love you. Thanks for everything. Love from Istanbul.
Thank you for this story. It brought tears to my eyes. You hear so many people want to rip on him for no good reason at all. And to hear one of his inspirations talk about him with such fondness just warms the heart. It seems like EVERYONE around him wanted a quick buck off of him except his backup. Thank you, thank you. I always loved the talent, and now I do the person! 2 add ons: 1st I'm sorry, but from the young picture which beautiful young lady were you. 2nd: I grew up in a very strict Christian household but mom let me listen and fall in love with Elvis. I didn't know how to do the twist and mom did from her younger years. She stood up to the radio when he came on, told me to get up. She told me to slightly bend,point my toe and act like I putting out a cigarette. Start it by the beat of ba ba ba thow out my rt arm ba ba bab throw out my left. Twist my fanny , use my arrm like I was using atowel to dry my fanny while putting out that cigarette! It actually worked! Couldn't believe my Christian mother taught me the first dance I learned to the rebel, Elvis Presley!
I was only 6 when He died and I cried so hard. To this day I still cry. My grandma loved him and that’s where I got to know who he was. Long live Elvis Presley and RIP my grandma ✝️❤️🔥✝️
Over the years I've heard many people say how decent and fair minded Elvis was. Respectful, brought up right. And that he was not a Bigot or Racist. He must have been a special Man. I was driving to visit my grandmother when I heard it on the news that Elvis had died. Tho I was not a huge Elvis Fan, I felt sadness for his family, friends and Fans. His Death really Rocked the world. May Elvis Presley Rest In Peace.
and some sods have the cheek to call Elvis racist? really? after this testimony to his humility and kinship with african Americans! Just goes to show how people can spew what they don't really know anything about. Much love to all Elvis fans out there!
This made me cry. He truly broke barriers and didn’t care what people thought. He’s one in a million and I wish he was a live to go see him. R.I.P to the King Elvis.
Elvis was one of these success stories in the entertainment business who didn't have to sell his soul over to the dark side to keep his voice in tune., sure though, sometimes new ideas were difficult to come by. He was deeply God fearing. It really saddens me that he didn't live to enjoy his Grandchildren, the two younger girls are just like Gladys, his mother. May The Good Spirit rest upon Elvis forever.
Great Tribute to Elvis. I love it. I’ve been binge watching Sweet Inspirations videos all over RUclips. Great to hear how the girls felt about Elvis and their time with him.
So Lovely to hear her Memories & how close his back up group were to him. He treated her with respect as a "brother" he said not a BOSS! Must be real Special to look back on those Memories of singing Gospel together for hours! Having fun eating,talking,singing. You can tell she genuinely cared & loved him.
That's the nicest thing I've ever heard about Elvis. I loved him, and he loved us, and we knew it. I mean, imagine working with the biggest star in the world, and being made to feel like he was no different than your brother. That whole situation has the potential for being nerve wracking, but Elvis didn't let it happen that way. He made them comfortable.
What a precious woman! He was from the South, where people respected each other, (contrary to what you've heard). He was a gentleman and THE most beautiful human being God ever created!
I went on vacation down south as a child, in the early 60s. I was surprised how respectful and gentle people seemed to each other across the races. Nothing like I expected. It was awful though to see different drinking fountains and doors for people according to their skin color. That was very shocking for me. My Grandpa told me to keep my mouth shut about it. He didn't want us to get lynched.
What a beautiful reflection of the late, great Elvis Presley! Treating all people the same. Being kind to his singers. Not a racist bone in his body. Miss you EP. From South Africa. 😢🇿🇦🎸
Beautiful! I played drums with headphones, to all Elvis albums that my mom could get! When I was in my single digits of age and later. When Elvis passed. I cried, still in my single digits of age. He had something powerful within.
She's the last of the Sweet Inspirations that backed Elvis (other than Cissy Houston), but Cissy only worked with the group in 1969 with Elvis. The other three backed him in every concert throughout the '70s. Sad they're all gone now.
I was not much into Elvis but my eldest brother loved many things about Elvis including his college friends. My brother especially loved Elvis singing religious songs and he would sing along to his records, his favourite was "Crying In The Chapel". R.I.L Elvis and my Brother.
What an era! Mahamid Ali, Elvis Presley, maybe even Bruce Lee, Evil Kneivel , Harlem Globe Trotters, I’ll even say Burt Reynolds. The late sixties, through out the seventies was incredible ! A great era, while I only named the few I remember at this point
Estelle you are a true lady, it’s so nice to hear your sincere words that Elvis made you feel relaxed like you were equals which obviously made the music so much sweeter!
He genuinely loved people ❤️ He never treated them like he was better than them. And he didn't like being referred to as "The King". He would say "there's only one King", referring to our Lord and Savior.
Thank you Estelle for loving Elvis 🙏💖 as much as we do! The Inspections were so good also! Elvis knew talent when he heard it!! Loved all his back up singers!!💔😪RIP, all.
This is my aunt I love her so much such a genuine loving women full of life ✨❤️❤️❤️

He was also close to Ann Margaret he use to date her.

"I loved that man". Gosh, it's incredible how universally loved this man is. Even 50 years later the same fascination 🙏
Yes. We love him in South Africa too. 👍🇿🇦
I explain exactly that about Elvis to people I know, he was a great guy.

AMEN! 😇😇🙏🙏❤️❤️
I wonder if she's still kick'in around these days?
Elvis loved all people. Race made no difference. His mama raises him well.
Over and over we hear about the well mannered southerner! Yes, Gladys raised him good 👍 ❤️
@@sonnestt Bullshit.
@@sonnestt, Elvis had a father as well, you know, he wasn't just raised by his mother.
@@sonnestt It's all about the south!
@@sonnestt, You were being unfoundedly dirty and insulting.
I had an Aunt in his employ. She always said he was a kind man. Nobody is perfect, nobody! RIP Elvis; you were appreciated and loved by many.

What a wonderful example of brotherhood! 🙌🏻🩵
The man didn't have a racist bone in his body. He was a great human being that should of never died from that poison so many great singers died from. Thank You miss Estelle bless your Heart.
That is how all people should be there is not a color but just love for a brother and sister
Wish it were that easy. Estelle is a million times difgerent than the black women you encounter in a blm looting
So beautiful right

He never forgot where he came.
Sometimes I think if it weren't for the backup singers Elvis wouldn't have been so popular but he had an amazing voice as did you ladies❤
and some sods have the cheek to call Elvis racist?
really? after this testimony to his humility and kinship with african Americans!
Just goes to show how people can spew what they don't really know anything about.
Much love to all Elvis fans out there!
Met the beautiful lady a few years ago. What a blessing.

They were meant to meet cause they're 2 angels
Wow, that was really cool. Such a sweet lady.
Music Would not be what it is today with out Elvis Presley entering the spot light

No matter what color they were, few famous entertainers are humble and loving to their workers. It shows a goodness deep rooted in him few have.
He was in charge when he was on stage. She loved him. You can tell
Beautiful! I played drums with headphones, to all Elvis albums that my mom could get! When I was in my single digits of age and later. When Elvis passed. I cried, still in my single digits of age. He had something powerful within.
Sweet memories!
What are your thoughts on Ronnie Tutt's drumming with Elvis?
“I loved him and he loved us”.✊
She's the last of the Sweet Inspirations that backed Elvis (other than Cissy Houston), but Cissy only worked with the group in 1969 with Elvis. The other three backed him in every concert throughout the '70s. Sad they're all gone now.
Myrna Smith worked with Carl Wilson of the Beach Boys
💓
Sounds like you know more about the sweet inspirations than I do how many members were there ? Do you remember all the names by all means please?

I was not much into Elvis but my eldest brother loved many things about Elvis including his college friends. My brother especially loved Elvis singing religious songs and he would sing along to his records, his favourite was "Crying In The Chapel". R.I.L Elvis and my Brother.
RIP to your Brother .

What an era! Mahamid Ali, Elvis Presley, maybe even Bruce Lee, Evil Kneivel , Harlem Globe Trotters, I’ll even say Burt Reynolds. The late sixties, through out the seventies was incredible ! A great era, while I only named the few I remember at this point
Wonderful!
What a great time to have lived life!!!!! Today's times are SUCH a disappointment.
67-74 great times for Elvis
We had all the greats in the late 60s 70s John Wayne. Rachel Welch. Clint Eastwood .just a few named.
Actually his name was Cassius Clay,. Until he changed it to Muhammad Ali! Best Boxer Ever!!! He & Elvis were friends ! Both,. The Greatest!!!
What a beautiful story of a beautiful man. Estelle has always been humble and sweet. Xxx 💝
Estelle you are a true lady, it’s so nice to hear your sincere words that Elvis made you feel relaxed like you were equals which obviously made the music so much sweeter!
What wonderful memories Estelle has. What an incredible experience she had. I love Elvis.
He genuinely loved people ❤️ He never treated them like he was better than them. And he didn't like being referred to as "The King". He would say "there's only one King", referring to our Lord and Savior.
What a lovely woman. Humble just like Elvis himself
Wow what beautiful memories to have of the King Elvis Presley God bless you ❤
One of my favorite Elvis stories about
Elvis . And it’s the first time I seen it .
