Don't think for a second that all Elvis's fans were there ! Some of us could not afford to go and sat home in mourning in front of the T.V. soaking in every horrific detail we could and praying it wasn't so ! Very Black day in history for all of us who lost Elvis.
Thanks for watching Retha... Joe
I agree i loved Elvis so much my Mom and i cried so hard and i still cry. My Moms gone to Heaven but it was so so hard on us. It happen the day before my parents anniv. so sad.
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum heard he was alive 😂
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum😊
@@dannyking4784 He is not alive. He was not alive when you posted, and he is not alive one year later when I commented back to you. If he was, he would be 89, but he is not
Now here's a man who just let his special guest speak without interruption. Thank you, sir.
Thank you Glass.... Best... Joe
Amen!
I like that comment where you appreciate the interview that did not interrupt. I totally agree and appreciate the interviewer his instincts to better listen not just with his ears but with his heart!
⚘
CURVEDGLASS123 I agree well done and extremely classy and gracious 👍🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼👏🏼💯❤️
James is a loyal member of Elvis history. Tried and true. TCB ⚡
Thanks for watching 74… best, Joe
First time watching this with James Burton. The way he described the day Elvis passed must have touched everyone not just the loyal fans of Elvis. To this day I still feel great sadness.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Andreas... best...Joe
Thank you for sharing so sad
It is clearly plain to see the grief in your character to speak of that day in history for you,James. Thank you for sharing with us, Elvis’s fans.
Thank you sweet Lord for the time that we had with a man that gave you glory and gave us smiles and music that changed our lives. 💙
I saw Elvis in concert when he came to Atlanta in the early 70's. A true showman and a legend. He loved people and he loved God.
He loved God who sinned on numerous occasions 🤣🤣
@@jahno7154Always gotta be someone who smarts off about religion. All of us sin. All of us.
ELVIS PRESLEY WAS THE MOST Handsome man in the world, God made Him perfect in looks. Plus blessed with a beautiful voice! That face & voice wowgreat combo. RIP YOU BEAUTIFUL MAN, no more pain. God has you in his arms with your momma.. We love you 4ever.
Kathleen... thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts... Joe
And what did it profit him? Sad if all you have is looks and fame then destroy yourself.
@Kathleen O'Rourke ... and now his young grandson Ben is also wrapped with love in the arms of Elvis & Gladys & Vernon ... they are all there together ...
❤🙏😇 ❤
@@debbieminton9589 Moving forward to 2024, now Lisa is with him too.
Elvis's band was like his family, when he was with the band in rehearsal or on stage Elvis was in the most comfortable place he could be. He loved it. James Burton, Jerry Scheff, John Wilkerson, Glen Hardin and the great Ronnie Tutt were Elvis's rock solid band! Elvis fed off of their energy and they fed off of his! The TCB band!
I'm a big Elvis Presley fan...I was only 7 when Elvis passed..I remember that sad day when the news came of his passing..my world just stood still...his legacy will live on forever...EP forever 💞
I was six nearly seven I remember it like it was yesterday funny the effect Elvis had on people take care
@@juanpablo1825 😅 gracias por compartir Elvis forever ❤❤
Elvis died on my 3rd wedding anniversary (8-16-74). I was at my Mom's for dinner and I am so glad I was with my Mom who was also a huge fan of Elvis. I have four tattoo's of Elvis and think of him everyday. Rest easy Elvis your fans will always LOVE YOU.
Elvis vive .É o pastor Bob Joyce
@@adilsawense6101 Elvis is NOT Bob Joyce stop the bs
I have 1 Tattoo of Elvis on my forearm. Saw him 3 times in N.Y. 😢🙏🏼
Ya terrible day
He died in 1977 not 74
You can always tell Elvis loved James Burton and totally showed respect for him
I discovered Elvis when I was 13 I’m 29 Now & im A ETA Elvis Tribute Artist and I’m happy to be keeping his legacy alive
Wonderful! Go on keeping Elvis' legacy!👍👍
That’s awesome!!
I'm sorry, but I gotta say "stop it".
Thank you for this post. I was in the 8th grade when Elvis passed and I will never forget that day. I will always love Elvis’ body of work and his humanity. Now that Lisa Marie has transitioned, it all feels so sad & raw all over again.
Prayers, peace and comfort to the Presley family🙏🏽
So sad. James Burton tells the story with so much emotion. Xxx 💝
James performed many shows with the greatest entertainer who ever lived
I remember as a young girl my Daddy would tell me about Elvis and how he tried to ride his bike from Ontario Canada to Graceland for the funeral service when Mr.Elvis Presley passed away. My Daddy was just a young adult/ adolescent a few years before I was born when he tried to ride to the funeral service at Graceland.
Just to get to the boarder by car from where he lived is 3hrs he made it past the boarder but couldn't make it to Graceland in time. He still loves Mr.Elvis and I know most of his songs so do my children. He was an amazing singer and writer.
May Mr.Elvis Presley rest peacefully forever with God beyond heavens gates 🙏🙏🙏 I know my Daddy will meet you one day ❤.
Awesome! Thank you for sharing!
Lovely story. Can almost feel the urgency that your father felt trying to get to Graceland in time. Very touching story.
JAMES BURTON ABSOLUTELY MADE ME CRY. IT'S A DAY THAT PEOPLE WILL NEVER FORGET!!😢😢😢
I just clicked the 42nd Like...
James Burton was shaking hands with the audience so I got to shake the hand of the Man Elvis said he could never sing without
Thank you, James. Elvis wasn't the only king on stage, you are the guitar king as far as I'm concerned. RIP Elvis and God bless you, JAMES BURTON.
I live in Australia. I was 7 and I remember my mum vacuuming in front of the tv and she stopped and burst into tears when the news came on then went to her room and cried. I didn’t know what was happening. She loved Elvis, so much so she had me on his birthday. I’ve been to Graceland twice and it was an incredible feeling, as if he’s still there. There will never be anyone like him ever.
👋😊🇺🇸
I was 10. I think all of our mom's cried that day.
@@cut1986 my babysitter was heeving crying and my mom came home crying her eyeballs out. I was just 6, so I didn't really get it then, but I definitely do now.
@@jonburrows2684 I was at his last concert June 26th,. He was Incredible! He didn’t seem sick! That’s why on Aug 16,. It was such a shock!!!
My Aunt was in a bus when flash news aired from the radio, telling that the king of rock and roll had passed away. She was crying out loud and couldn't help it. But I can totally understand her being a big fan. I am too.
elvis is still the king of rock and roll r I p x
This is a really good video. You can actually feel his deep sadness. The Interviewer is exceptional.
Thanks Pam... Joe
RIP ELVIS PRESLEY BEAUTIFUL MAN WITH A BEAUTIFUL SMILE, BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT, WE MISS YOU ELVIS😕🇬🇧👍
Elvis Presley had the most beautiful smile I've ever seen on anyone his face was full of love 💕
Behind that smile he was destroying himself
Snowy Owel......Amen
I believe he still has...
Snowy Owel beautiful heart too.
@@edgeriderrocks8997 Yes I agree I have read about how kind and caring he was there will never be another Elvis Presley 💕
I knew James Burton years ago! He is/was a wonderful man! Kind, generous, thoughtful! I met the Burtons' years after Elvis died. I knew his son Jeff, also, who sadly passed away also. His kids taught me how to snow ski in Tahoe! Many fond memories of them! I never met Elvis, but James introduced me to all the other country western stars he worked with. I met Alabama, Hoyt Axton, John Denver, Dolly Parton, EmmyLou Harris, and lots of others. He would show me his guitars and play hot licks for me and show me his records. He was much more famous in Europe and had several of his own releases there.
James is an honest genuine guy you could see the grief in him
I was Very pleased to meet James and get 2 photo's and a personal autograph, at the 100 Club in Oxford Street, London a few years ago. God bless you forever James: such a talent and such a good friend to Elvis and his fans. 😀
James Burton. It was so obvious how much respect Elvis had for you..I’ve always felt that you were the best ! Thank you sir for that truly open and honest description of THAT most horrible day. The loss and the feelings that go along with it is indescribable I’m sure..it certainly was for me!!! 😢

ELVIS LIVES LEVIS all same letters what an advertisement for brand of 👖
I wish he is not only a Superstar but also a son of God.May his soul rest in God's Loving Care 💅😘
I believe Elvis I'd really dead.He died when I was only 33 years old.Up to now I didn't see his image .So please let his soul rest in peace and don't publish fake news about him .He will be resurrected soon, during the rapture and be with his Redeemer forever.🙏🌉
@@homerhectorisrael8405 Wow, so elvis was 9 years older than you, did you ever attend any of his concerts? In your honest opinion, which of today's music artists can come close to his popularity when he was alive?
@@laughingbad I got to see Elvis doing his very last concert,. June 26th,.1977! Indianapolis IN.,. He was Phenomenal!!! Hmm,. Sorry but honestly,. There’s nobody that Can Compare! Nobody! Maybe,. No,. Sorry! Oh,. I will tell you that Prince came as close as Anyone Ever Could when he did the Super Bowl in the pouring Rain,. Or, well,. Purple Rain! Seriously!! For how ever long that lasted,. Prince Ruled the World right then! That’s what Elvis was like every single time he was on stage! Elvis entertained the world!!! The Lights went Off when Elvis died! The music might’ve died the night Buddy Holly died,. But All the Lights went out the day Elvis died!!! They’re Still Off!!!
When he says "Elvis died" a piece of me died again! So so sad.
The GREATEST entertainer ever. May you rest in peace, a well deserved rest. You, my love, will never be forgotten and will always and forever be LOVED. Til we meet again in the ever after
Funny,. There’s a gospel singer named Carroll Robertson who sounds alot like Elvis! He’s from Tupelo!
I remember I was 10 years old playing out on the street with friends and my brother shouted elvis had just died the street went quietly silenced and it was something i will never forget .You could walk up any street in england and records were been played of the king of rock and roll.
Ele está vivo

@@adilsawense6101 no he isn't Elvis is dead
Joe, you have the ability to make those you interview relaxed and comfortable. It’s quite obvious you not only have the utmost respect for the artists you speak with, but perhaps more importantly, great affection...great affection. I believe, it’s reciprocated as well.
Again thank you very much 707.....Joe
I like Elvis for his Gospel Music because it touches my heart ❤️ because of what I know about Jesus
You can still see the hurt in his soul.
He definitely had an important purpose on this earth...to bring happiness to so many lives. In my lifetime, I've never seen any person, besides President Kennedy, whose life and death, had that much impact, even though their deaths occurred in very different ways. He was such a sweet Southern gentleman.
I agree 💯 percent! I'm 74 and those 2 people both had a Positive influence on society, even in our allied countries!
@@sandralybrand9425 Yes they did Sandra. God bless! 😊
Check out worldwide reactions to the death of Rudolph Valentino. In fact, if you watch his story on BIOGRAPHY CHANNEL, there are many similarities to Elvis' life and fans' devotion. Of course not the amount of popularity so many years later, but for the time, quite impressive.
@@exdus235 Thanks!
I was returning from a party on that appalling day.
My mother opened the door, and said "You better come inside. I have some
terrible news. There has been a news report that Elvis has died."
I said "What?" As I went into the living room, there was a very grim-faced
presenter saying there was an unconfirmed report about his death.
Half an hour later, the story was given credence.
All the scheduled programmes were cancelled, and the TV stations ran their
own tributes to him. The next day was truly dreadful. I went for a short walk.
There wasn't any traffic on the road at all.
A girl I knew, cried every day for two weeks after his death.
One of the saddest days ever; we lost such an exceptional human being on that day... A real legend.
Great story!
I don't think I know anybody who doesn't remember where they heard about Elvis passing. I remember exactly where I was and it didn't really seem real to me but it was and the world lost a man who is and alway's will be irreplaceable.😭🙏😭🙏😭🙏😭🙏
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Sandra.... Joe
Can this channel just keep getting interviews from players like this telling us what happened.. I could hear hours of this ..Respect to this channel
👍👍👍
thanks.....Joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum ... yes to what Robert Stotts said !! ... get more interviews for us please from Elvis' other band members, backup singers, etc, etc ... we would love to hear more !! (from Ron Tutt, Jerry Scheff, Glen D Hardin, etc, & Ed Enoch, Donnie Sumner, Larry Stickland, Kathy Westmoreland, etc, etc) ... 💜⚡💜
also I did just subscribe to your RUclips page ... looks like good info !!
@@debbieminton9589 JD Sumner was a good friend of mine,. Every time I would see JD I’d ask him about Elvis,. Are You Sure? JD would lean over,. Cos you know he was like 6’5-6’6,. He’d say honey I’m sure in that really deep voice he had! He called everyone honey! The first time I met JD,. I waited awhile before I asked him,. Unsure whether or not I should,. Finally I got up the nerve to ask,.& actually,. That might’ve been the second time I met JD,. Anyway,. When I asked are you sure Elvis is dead,. His eyes filled with tears (I thought he was gonna cry). But he said I’m sure! Jake Hess,. He was a good friend of my Dad’s,. He was standing there & heard me & he leaned over & said,. Yes,. That was him,. I’m sorry but he did pass away! Jake Hess btw,. Was one of Elvis’s favorite gospel singers & he went to his house several times & sang with Elvis! I think Jake jumped in to answer my questions to help JD out cos he knew it bothered JD to talk about it!!! I didn’t know,. I was a kid!
I'm glad that I shared the planet with Elvis for 12 years.
I was 11 yrs old when Elvis passed. I remember where I was and all I was at my neighbors with my best friend at the time I ran home and told my mom and she said no he hasn’t she turned the TV on and there was a special news broadcast that was telling it. She loved Elvis but not like I did. I loved his music and still listen. Wish he could have been here longer but Elvis wire h it self out with all he was doing. God bless and thank you for the video.
Thanks Jill ..... joe
Great memory. Thanks for this.
I was 11 years old when Elvis passed. To me he is the best there is, was or ever will be when it comes to rock' n roll. There will never be another like him.
Nice profile lol, I have one of those and I call it Trump too XD
Trump is The Man
@Trump, you're looking particularly handsome today!
I was15 and I can still remember it like it was yesterday. Never be another like Elvis.
I remember exactly where I was when the news of his death came thru the radio. Before I heard of his death they had played several songs in a row of his, and that always lifts your spirit, I thought it might be his Birthday..Then BOOM..the late Elvis Presley.. Crushing feeling like a relative or your closest friend had past..What a great man and talent.
Elvis death shocked the world I will never forget exactly where I was and how I learned of his passing.
10 yrs. old. Looking for an arm that was missing for a G.I. Joe toy. Heard my mom crying and went to the kitchen where she was making spaghetti. Dad had came home and told her ELVIS died. First song on the radio was Love Me Tender.
@@cut1986 Working as operator for Southern Bell. Customer came on crying "Elvis is DEAD" Was over the entire office in seconds. A group of us had gone to his concert at the Omni on Dec 30 in Atlanta. Sad day.
@@jawja100 these types of stories fascinate me, thanks for sharing. I wasn’t born when the king of rock died, but I was alive when the king of pop died. I’ll always remember the day MJ died. I was 16 years old working as a busboy in a sushi bar, our boss gathered all the staff to break the news.
I saw Elvis in 'May of 77. Years later, I had the honor to shake Jim's hand, along with Jerry and Glen at an after show dinner with John Denver. Just got really nice vibes from all, seemed like such gentlemen, just like JD. Only the best, for the two best. I'm so so sorry they had to endure the loss of both. Putting their music aside, I think JD and Elvis were actually a lot alike and they surrounded themselves with awesome people. But E and JD were both taken so early, I'm forced to believe that our souls are eternal and that these gentlemen had greater missions elsewhere. We remember with you, Jim, like it was yesterday. The 2 days that E and JD moved on, I think are two of the days when everyone in the world shared a group hug.
Thank you for sharing this sad but great video. I talked to James Burton he was a very nice man. Sweet and very kind I will never forget talking with him. We all will never forget where we where when we heard the news Elvis had passed, Time stood still that day in August the 16th. The King is gone and his music will never die. Just as Elvis will never die. Still to this day Elvis is a Light that will burn forever.
The day the music died.
Very sad story & I remember that day well. I have a good friend that worked at the private airport in LA where many of the "stars" would fly into including Elvis. My friend said that Elvis was one of the nicest & down to earth guys that he ever met.
I was just a kid. Playing volleyball in the neighbor’s yard. Her aunt called out the door Elvis had died. We were dumbfounded. Being kids we just didn’t know what to say or do, so we just all ran home. All the parents were messed up! I could tell you what I was wearing. White shorts and pink T-shirt. Funny, the things you remember.
isn't it strange how we remember small details like that? I too was a kid and was outside riding bike when our dear friend called to tell my mother. she yelled outside the news and we all came running in the house feeling so sad. I do remember seeing a short news piece that night but as you will recall, this was before the days of 24/7 news channels.
I will never forget him he was a great great Singer. God has you now
@Walter White BULL! Go somewhere else to troll.
I just stared at the TV. And thought a year from now I be staring at the TV. And for many years. That's where I was. Now I listen to the vigil
@@anitraduke3616 ... apparently he did go away ... whatever he had posted is gone/deleted ... I can't stand the trolls 😠😠😠 ...
I will love Elvis forever ... I was going to see him again the next week on his tour that never happened and still have my ticket ... 💜💜💜 TCB⚡TLC 💜💜💜
Such a sad day in history! It was heartbreaking
The day we lost The Greatest Entertainer Of All Time, a true gift for God. Rest in Peace Elvis Aaron Presley
❤❤❤❤❤ love and miss you
Aron not Aaron
I think its still important to know history because everything people create eventually become legacy so just learn from it, work harder
@@ondemandroadside7383 Elvis added an "A" to his name Aaron as he was a jewish , since his mother Gladis, his grandmother, his great grandmother and his great great grandmother, they were all jewish. Elvis was a jewish man, and also uesed to wear a Magen David neklace. תנצב"ה אמן
lilithl1 wow i never knew that Elvis was Jewish how wonderful.His voice was an absolute gift from God.He was such a blessing to the world.Thank you for telling me this God bless you 🙏🏻
I was only 13 years old when Elvis died, still remember that day, etched eternally in my brain. My Grandmother was huge Elvis fan, she died one month later on the 16th of September 77, she was totally heartbroken by his death.
Such a sad story for James to tell, it's really made me cry, just to relive that again. Awful, I miss Elvis and his Band.
Thanks for watching Cathy....Joe
Ele vive
Made me cry too.
Amazing story. I was fortunate enough to see Elvis live 2 months before he passed. His health was not good but the sold out audience still loved him and his voice was still amazing. It was a magical experience for a 12 year old fan. Rest In Peace E
Was he really bloated?
Maggie Mae Yes he was
You're so lucky to have that experience, I never got to see him live so can only imagine how awesome it would be.
gragrn thanks it was
I seen Elvis in Rochester NY also a little over two months before he passed on May 26 he looked great no bloating at all. However, he really seemed tired.
The amazing James Burton. He was the lead guitarist for the last 15 years of Elvis's life.
Jan Denning the last 8 years of his life. James first played with a Elvis in Las Vegas in 1969 and toured with him til the end in 1977.
James Burton first met Elvis in 1969.. He was asked to put a band together for Elvis .. the amazing return to Vegas 1969 concert.... sorry for the correction Jan..
James is a lucky guy to have been able to call Elvis his friend. :-)
Hi Erk... yes he was and so was Elvis to have James as a real friend... Thanks for watching... joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum 👍👍👍
A Class Act and a true friend to Elvis.
James never sold out to the highest bidder devulging private memories of Elvis.
A magnificent career, his guitar playing is second to no one.
Wonderful interview my compliments

Do they mean James brown the singer or Jim brown the football player?
@@jamesbaka1206 James Brown the singer.
There is much beauty within in this tragic story MR. Burton is a really exceptional human to remain so composed relating his experience Thank you for this.
Elvis Presley the greatest singer that ever was & ever will be. My parents took me to see Elvis Presley at Madison Square Garden in 1972 he did two shows I believe that was the only time he ever played in New York outside the 50s I believe on The Ed Sullivan Show or something like that... it was unbelievable I was terrified I didn't understand why the women were going crazy it was fantastic crazy time made me realize I wanted to be a musician also at that time we had an 8 mm camera which they let us take in! of course no sound but I still have it put on DVD transferred and Elvis was in his prime then what an impression it made on this 12 year old boy at the time!! We still talk about it to this day I still can't believe I saw him in concert Elvis Presley the greatest entertainer of all time!
He did 4 shows
Elvis Was and Always Will Be The Greatest Iconic Singer Ever.
Dom that is a wonderful story. I would love to see your footage. Wish you could share it!
That is the show I would have wanted to see most. I like it better than aloha. The energy was fantastic. I have the cd and watch the concert someone filmed. Ot was fantastic
Priceless
Very sad day indeed. I was 7 years old and remember all the teachers crying at school that day. It was like we had lost a member of our own family.
I wish more people who refuse to believe that Elvis really did die, especially these "Bob Joyce Is Elvis" muppets would watch this clip and learn what really happened during those dreadful days in 1977. Thank you for uploading this clip Mr Chambers.
Hi 70..... thanks for sharing your thoughts and supporting our videos... ( I agree with you ) Best....Joe
Thanks for allowing this story to be told. I was in the car with my mom when we heard the news ... it still causes sadness for me.
Still Miss The King After All These Years . Never Stopped Loving This Great MAN . He's Timeless
Beautiful, graceful, talented Anne-Margret attended Elvis's funeral with her husband of 50 years. A real class act! I pray every night 4 Lisa Marie. She has lost so much! She lost her only son & now I found out she is battling cancer. I urge the world to pray for her!
I was 15. I remember they interrupted Star Trek. I remember the chair I was sitting in at a new friend's house. A recliner. Every detail of that room and that moment. I remember feeling sick. Then nothing. Not 5 minutes. Not an hour. Just a blank dark day.
Yes sad day for All of us 1977 We All have to remember He try keep fan's happy so we all lost him so young that because we want more of him 😭😭😭😭
I am in tears just listening to James speak of Elvis. That band loved him so much and he loved them just as much. I read no one ever left the group of band members, vocalists, etc because he was so sweet to work with and perform. I would have loved to been a part of that group even for only a short while as they seemed like a close knit family of sorts. Rest with the angels, Lisa Marie, Benjamin and your dear parents Elvis. We as your fans will love you and miss you until the time comes for us to join you in Heaven.♥️🙏🏻🔥.
Thank you for this exceptional video!
I cried when I heard that Elvis has passed. I almost teared up again listening to Jame's first hand account. Thank you for posting Joe.
I cried then and again watching him share his story.
I was 10.My mom cried too!
I was 16, and it was the first time I've ever seen my mother cry. A terrible loss to the music industry, alongside Buddy, Richie and the Big Boppers deaths.
At 9 year's old when i saw him in the movie's I had such a crush on him, anytime there came out any of his movies i was there, i was 18 years when he died i know exactly where i was, i cried like if he were my family, i loved that Elvis loved JESUS too i hope he made to HIM!!! Such a beautiful man a gift to us that loved him and his 🎶
Please google pastor Bob Joyce, I think it will make you happy, I know it does me!
@@FizzVizard Bob Joyce isn't Elvis, and he doesn't sound any more like him that any of the impersonators do. Elvis had a voice that's easy to copy but impossible to replicate.
Now Elvis was a true musician and a real legend. Artists today have nothing on the king. He was an angel sent down from heaven. A gift from god. Music today is so bad it’s truly sad.
There has never been an entertainer with a presence more powerful than Elvis. I tell my fiance that the greatest music in the history of the world has already been made and a lot of it was done by Elvis. Elvis could walk up to a hot mic without a single instrument and captivate thousands. Nobody in this day can do that. They have to have pitch machines and computers, they have to lip sync because of their lack of talent. Elvis was something special. There was something very different about him.
Amen! you're preaching to the choir. I was fortunate to see the king in October of 76 and again in June of 77. When Elvis hit that stage it was like God just landed.
Marie Alcorta sadly Elvis died in 1977. A great man like him would never do that to his daughter let alone his fans. We all die.
@@mariealcorta808 sorry Marie. Elvis may be alive, but it's not Bob Joyce
@@davidlund4681 Absolutely! I was there in June’77,. Unbelievable Concert! Incredible Voice! Definitely The GOAT!!!
It was a Very Sad Day! I remember it well! JD & I talked about it quite a bit!!!
Another great interview as you let him talk and his story was exceptional.
Hi Guy... glad you enjoyed it.... James has been a very close friend for almost 30 years.... I never get tired of hearing his stories... Best , Joe
Great. I met Charlie Musselwhite and he said Elvis took a bunch of boys on weekly trips to the cinema to watch Road Runner cartoons! Did you yourself meet the King?
Guy.... I never met Elvis but I know so many people who produced or played for him that I kinda feel like I know him a little... best ... Joe

I was ten years old and walked in my house and my mother was sitting in front of the tv crying. That’s how I found out. Sooo sad.
I was 10 also. My mom was crying in the kitchen.
Thank you so much for sharing this historical information & Thank you to James for your true insight.How painful just can’t imagine.we know as fans how very very sad this day was but for the ones who knew Elvis so well unimaginable.The worst news ever.ever !!!!
After Evis died I was feeling very sad,
I sketched a picture of him in charcoal pencil.
It turned out to be the best portrait I ever sketched.
I foolishly sold it a couple of years later.
I'd give my little pinky finger to get it back😢😕☹️
Razor 1960 why not just sketch a new one? surely your talent has gotten even better after all these years. it would prob be better than the original sketch. you could prob sell Elvis sketches to fans. i would def purchase one.
Thank you Cathy,
That's very kind of you.
I have made more portraits of Elvis,
But my first one was special to me.
I’m sure u could recreate it
@@rabboyce4770 He can't re-create the emotions it contained. Sometimes pictures are more than art.
Great interview ! ...Ive often thought why is there no in depth documentaries with the TCB Band , recounting myriads of stories . They are getting older and their stories will be invaluable
Been 45 years and I still cry.
Ive been to Graceland 3 times.Its a wonderful place to visit Elvis's home
I met him and he was nice to a little country boy and thanks to my late aunt for taking me to the movie set with a sheriff's escort!! What a day in the life of!!
James and Elvis were good friends, i know James was hurting
Had no idea James Brown and Elvis Presley were that close😥Really Sad!

Elvis wasn't really close with any of the band members. In the early stages of his career they were close but the last 10 years, at the least, they didn't speak much. It was all routine and no need.
@@AmericanWoman1 it might have seemed like that, i think your wrong, not saying they were hanging out every day, but i think they had time's, not in 76-77 but 69-75 Elvis was very personable, still having fun
@@diningroomfish5470 He didn't associate with them off stage in '74 thru '77. I can only speak of the years I was with him and by the things he said. It was all routine. He probably should have spent more time with them later on but he didn't.
I'm sure the atmosphere must have been surreal for friend's and family as it felt unreal to fans as well RIP Elvis
What a sad thing. Good interview; just a question or two and NO interruptions.
God bless you, James!
Totally broke me as a 17 year old at that time. Worshipped the guy and all things 'Elvis' at that time and even to this present day. I like many others , Cannot get over it and wont do now until my time is due.
Really hope there is some where after this life?
⏰ran⌛for ELVIS way too soon. I still remember that world-wide telecast from Hawaii.On a lighter note,MR Burton is a"kick butt" guitar player.🗽🗽🗽
Very interesting , I remember the day . Elvis was a great soul .
I was in Memphis when Elvis died. It was a very sad and unforgettable experience. Some years later I worked with one of his former employees at FedEx. He was very devoted to Elvis and his death weighed heavily on him. He'd talk about him sometimes.
Did he ever say if the body was wax
@@michaeltrowbridge7174: No, but I believe he was the first person to be summoned upstairs after Ms. Alden discovered his body in the bathroom.
@@michaeltrowbridge7174 was it Al Strada?
So what is his name?
@@stephenmilburn7622: Yes.
Great Respect to you Sir , Your Backing Band Deserves a lot of praise as well as you also made Elvis sound so good
I was working in Milwaukee,Wi. when the news came out of Elvis` death. Peoples wives were crying andstuff and I couldn`t understnd it. Definetly had an impact on people.
That was a sad day...many of my friends were alive when Elvis died and when the news came on the radio about Elvis's died people were actually pulling over because they couldn't believe it that Elvis had died.....The king of Rock n roll...He's still the king....your always on my mind every single day...Elvis presley
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Paul... joe
James Burton was a great guitarist. He featured in many of the Ricky Nelson studio recordings as part of Ricky’s backing group.
Oh Lord , no words can even say what a loss that was .
My uncle TAYLOR was in the US ARMY with ELVIS in 1959 Lots of old black and white pictures ........ We show people and they are just like WOW !!!!!!!!( yes it's real )
Put on my blue suede shoes

Thank You Sir For The Respect And An Uninterrupted Interview With The Great James Burton Great Interview God Bless You Both.You Could Feel The Love James Burton Had For Elvis Presley And I Know Elvis Loved James Too Elvis Wouldn't Do A Show If James Couldn't Be There Sometimes James Would Be Playing For Patty Labelle And One Time Her And Elvis Concert Was At The Same Time So Elvis Told James James Burton He Would Cancel Until James Could Play But James Burton Told Him No I'll Be There And He Was
