    Today marks the 46 years anniversary of Elvis Presley’s passing I dedicate this video to Elvis. I’m visiting different locations where Elvis lived in Los Angeles. His favorite places to hang out and his huge mansion on Hillcrest. I am stepping in Elvis Presley’s footsteps. I also wanna remember his daughter, Lisa Marie Presley. I matched up some pictures of her as well.

    Thank you for this. I love Elvis. I saw him at Graceland. But I was young and when he picked me up I started crying. And my mom took a picture. 😮 Now I understand. And I love his music. So thank you. I live not far from Graceland. Let me know when your coming back. Would like to meet you. Thank you. Elvis forever.

    Just amazing seeing all of this presented by the GIV. The restaurant, hotels, Elvis Presley's home in Beverly Hills, all frozen in time, 1950's! This video is as if we were taken back in a time machine with the GIV as captain. A great video indeed! 😎

    It's so true of Elvis Presley, he was extremely generous, some say to a fault, however, it made him that much more endearing to others! Some great stories the GIV is telling, truly a first for me!

    I was born 14th September 1977. Elvis Presley died almost a month earlier unfortunately :(
    I was introduced to Elvis Presley when I was a little kid and listened to a couple of Elvis' singles at a friend's home.
    I listened to singles like: "Jailhouse Rock", "It's Now Or Never", "Heartbreak Hotel", etc.
    From then on, I was hooked to everything concerning Elvis Presley :)

    Thanks for a new delightful video about Elvis! I am glad that Formosa restaurant still exists, because I wish also another classic Hollywood restaurant still existed, one that was called "La Scala" , have you heard about it? It was so famous back in the Golden days... my mother has a youth friend who was the chef there, and she invited him to her home (he was from the same city we are in Spain), to have lunch, so I was lucky enough to meet him and talk with him about all the celebrites he made food for, specially Marilyn Monroe, Liz Taylor and JFK. He said to me he prepared Marilyn's last supper before the night she died. I asked him if it was true that some celebrities asked for their favourite food to be delivered by plane from LA to London, and he told it was completely true. He prepared that pasta Liz liked so much. He also said Frank Sinatra was quite a nasty man and that Paul Newman liked to eat at a table they had inside the kitchen, and some other like Robert Wagner as well, instead of eating in the dinning area. I would ask you to please film that restaurant if it still existed, but, don't worry, it dissapeared long time ago.
    I am also glad that Elvis house at LA was looks the same, I think that is were the Beatles went to visit him.

    • @Music_Never_Stops
      @Music_Never_Stops Год назад +1

      Yup. It was the original title of the film. They changed that to Flaming Star, thus the title song changed with it.
      I think i have the first recordings of black star on an album called Elvis, a boy from Tupelo. But i'm not sure.

    What was also a famous hangout for the stars like The Formosa was Schwabs Pharmacy (we just called it Schwabs drugstore). It was located at 8024 Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, just a few blocks east of Whiskey a Go Go. It opened in 1932, and closed in 1983. I hung out there in the mid to late '60's, and got to meed many of the stars of the '50's and '60's. I actually became good friends with Dom DeLuise , Buddy Hackett, Michael J. Pollard (who played C.W. Moss in the 1967 movie Bonnie and Clyde), and others like Sidney Poitier. I was a 21 year old up and comer. Did a lot of extra work for TV shows like The Fugitive, and Combat. Did extra work in the movie Von Ryan's Express with Frank Sinatra, and other movies. Those were the days, my friends! Cheers! :)
