I believe she interrupted another reporter, and he just wanted to acknowledge her, but let her know he was talking to the other person. Not sure, though. He was VERY POLITE. *I used to live in Memphis back in the day, and thot that was as good a way to let her know he was not ignoring her as any. Guys called ladies "Honey" sometimes, in the South. It didn't mean anything. I remember that he used the term "Dear" sometimes, when he was speaking to audiences (and KISSING some of them!!) during his days in Las Vegas.

    I will never ever understand why these 2 concerts and the one in Hawaii one month later were never filmed. The man was at the absolute zenith of his powers and popularity and these were the only 3 concerts he did in over 10 years.

    • @RaindropServicesNYC
      @RaindropServicesNYC 7 лет назад +14

      Probably a combination of reasons. In those days people weren't always filming everything. Camera's weren't as portable and there had to be a budget for official filming. Colonel Parker might have put a spot to the attempts, possibly. And it was a lot more difficult than nowadays to sneak in a personal camera, which would have required to bring rolls of 8mm film, a light meter and a sound recorder. A lot to carry for someone trying to film a performance unnoticed. But I agree with you. Too bad.

      They were still making money selling them on VHS then. I guess that they thought if they filmed it and had it on tv that the VHS would stop selling. Nowadays they are selling it on DVD 's on the internet. I wish it were in stores. Parker is a sorry manager. He showed have been there beside of Elvis since he suggested that Elvis call this conference. Elvis does great on his own. He is very smart, humble and polite. Gotta love him.

      He also said touring was hard work, whereas movies involved 6 weeks shooting and 3 months vacation and paid more.
      He was a guy who spent money as fast as he earned it, so chose to go with the easy money.
      We'd all do the same, there's things I could do for work that I like, but do something else because it pays nearly twice as much, so to maintain my lifestyle I need to do work I'd sooner not be doing.
      Or I could give up move to a smaller house, catch a bus to work and be happy.

      He was asked about Anita Wood, he tried
      to downplay their relationship, he was told
      by TP to cool the relationship, the same
      with June JUANICO, before Anita Wood.
      TP was forever controlling ELVIS'S serious
      relationships from day one. For his career
      and image TP required ELVIS to remain
      unattached, no serious relationships. ELVIS
      had it tuff all around, his life was never his own. ELVIS did everything he could possibly
      do to please everyone, and take care of everyone, but never had the time for himself.
      He unknowingly, was sacrificing his life to
      please everyone else. He wanted to bless
      everyone, as he had been blessed, from rags to riches. ElVIS once said, May the LORD Bless You, as He has Blessed Me.✝️♾️❤️

      He became the top selling artist of all time. I don't like the language of "he could have done so much more" when he did way beyond what anybody else did. Those movies gave us over 300 visuals of songs and videos to accompany them. If the movies sucked to you, so be it. But the musical visuals that came with them, 10 to 15 in each song, were great. For example, how else but those type of movies could the visual for Smokey Mountain Boy have come into place? Those visuals were amazing even by today's standards, the synchronization, the vocals, etc.
