Great ? You must be joking, or blind. He was drugged to the eyeballs. Apparently he was dragged out of bed to do this interview. Elvis and Priscilla were known never to leave the bedroom for days or weeks. Their meals were left outside the room.
Elvis could sing all.types of music. Elvis singing the song " She thinks i still care". No one ever could nor can sing that song better than Elvis. Every song he ever sang was better than anyone else ever could sing.❤
POP AND MOM HAD A BUNCH OF WONDERFUL STORIES TO TELL ABOUT ELVIS. I HAD TO BREAK THE NEWS WHEN HE PASSED THEY LOOKED AND ACTED LIKE THEY WERE ABOUT TO. THANKS SO MUCH.
They don't get paid. One thing that assured was Elvis would not play the Grand Ole Opry same thing with the White House concert. Colonel Parker was interested until they explained they couldn't pay and he hung the phone up
The Opry disrespected the hell out of a guy named Elvis Presley. It was his Mobile to Jimmy Buffett. He had a right to maneuver that way. He was way bigger, To HELL WITH THEM. The Opry owned that pathetic vision. Own it!
@@bowiehamilton9888 I love the Opry but you don't get paid to play there if you remember. You are required to play there so many times to keep your membership up. Dumbest thing in the world for entertainers to do but everybody wants to say they played the Opry. I'm a small-time entertainer and have been for 50 years. I got the same from the Opera stage when the old one was still there. How? I took a free tours and when I hit center stage I sang a song and everybody applauded yay I did it LOL
Country Music survived Elvis' single performance on the Opry in 1954. George Strait and Alan Jackson's tell it like it is song Murder on Music Row was not released until 2000!
Bill Monroe here, is unusually (for him) open-minded about something new. He must have actually really liked Elvis’ version because when Bill played it from that point on, he kicked it off the slower, original way in 3/4 time, then would break into Elvis’ up-tempo 4/4 version.
Good to know these things. Up to now, all I knew about that night, I got from the mini series "Elvis, the early years" where they show Elvis at the Opry, wearing a red suit with red shirt and tie and he bombed out with the audience. They only showed scattered applause. Elvis runs out real upset and drops the red suit in the garbage at a gas station . Guess they just made it up, although I thought the red suit was really cool !
Indeed, and more than most people think, Elvis was brought in to sing on Scotty's Album with Sun Records. Scotty Auditioned him with Bill Black at Bill's House. I am not sure how long that Scotty's Album lasted but he does not seem to care or even mention it as part of the History of the Phenomena. Great Guitar Player as well.
This hurts my heart.. seeing Elvis look so bad.. The King of Rock. but Elvis could sing any genre of music.. Facts. Ppl after his death that wanted to come on to a band wagon and tear him down.. . I have no respect.. Elvis died when I was 10 yrs old.. so yeah i'm older.. but dang.. stop disrespecting the King of Rock..

Elvis full of.....something. Most probably Phenibarbitone or Placydil. His eyes say it all. Vernon looks very anxious. Parker desperately trying to humour everybody. The price of being ELVIS PRESLEY.
Scotty Moore was one of the most influential guitarists in Rock and Roll music , the man was amazing
ELVIS WAS WAY TO GOOD FOR THE OPRY!
Elvis had some brilliant Country albums and alot aswell with the "Nashville Sound".
Elvis Presley...... King of Rock &Roll !
No.😊
@@BradAdams-fu4qx Of course he is... he opened the door... his echo will never die...
He is talking about his love of country and gospel and you STILL insist on calling him ‘the king of rock and roll’?!? He did not like that title.

Elvis could sing the phone book and it would sound like a love song.
We will never see the likes of him again.

ELVIS PRESLEY
Scotty 🎸 Moore
Bill Black
Thank you for this interviews. Great, great!
He should have played there several times over the years.
Not really.😊
He should have won more Grammys not just for gospel that was a good start!

Scotty started the ball rolling.
It was Marion who discovered him and insisted Sam consider him

Elvis never cared for Chet from the day he wouldn’t listen too him about his music.
Imagine the blowback if he actually said "son, stick to truck driving!:) Talk about not noticing talent!
Chet Atkins is the only person I've seen tell the REALLY UGLY truth about what the Opry guy told Elvis.
I've heard more than once that Jim Denny was an ass.
Yes he was. he was another Ralph Emory.
Wow Elvis looks lost, eyes are like glass.
Maybe it was very hot in that room
@garrypalahitski3194..I guess you do not know burning lights makes one sweat.Elvis was known to sweat easily.I guess you do not.
?
@@elvicare35 It is a fact that Elvis sweated much.That is the reason for his appearance caused by the hot lights.
@@margarettaylor8107Did you know Elvis also had a drug problem? I guess you do not.

stoned
Like most country singers so what
@@lha3954 Bad example for his young fans
Looks way better than you on your best day, champ. How many hundred concerts you done.? ROFL.
Strung out
Elvis is doped to the eyeballs and look at the eye bags looks dreadful
Wrong
Was you there ?

@@robertshabarekh610 Don't have to be we are watching the video. You can tell he's on Opiates.
Elvis looks sick or drugged or both.
He looks awful! So sad how drugs ruined the lives of so many musicians in the 60’s and 70’s.
I think Elvis showed the porky who was the better performer
