He was all music. Country, gospel, rock, R&B. All. Yes the best!

And no one comparable since.

Thank you! I’ve been saying this for YEARS!

"Before Elvis there was nothing." - John Lennon

"MTV Unplugged" certainly wouldn't exist without Elvis. He performed stripped-down versions of his songs on the "Comeback Special" along with other musicians.

Exactly!!!

No he didn’t. He merely asked a question, Ann said no, and Charley moved on

Ann has always been very private about Elvis

@@BrendaBooher-hw4mf True Ann did so many interviews while saying nothing. Sometimes I wonder why she even bothers. It’s like pulling teeth. I find her always looking medicated. I seen more recent interview and it’s the same. The only she said here was true that they did make fun of Elvis up to his death but then switched and praised him when he died.

birth of rock and roll. Just like lennon said before elvis there was nothing.

Thanks for your first hand account! My dad was born in "46 and my mom in "47. Me in 1966 and have been a huge Elvis fan since I can remember hearing music.

AMEN to that sister!! To many robots cotrolled are walking around today becouse .... don't like Elvis

I was born in 46 also. I agree he was excellent. He set the bar high for everyone else. He was beginning to realize he was a product when he did the aloha special. But that isn’t what got him to his lowest. There was something going on in his body. He had controlled it as much as he could. But the stuff he had been doing wasn’t working.

I would have loved to be in that era when Elvis was starting out omg to see him young raw how cool 😎 💖

So its not just a pretty face

​@@anunturipubli7997He had many singers in his family. He inherited the music and perfected it.

Having a 3 octave voice means nothing really. Many have it. But how you use that voice is what it is all about. Elvis voice is so unique that it's almost a religion. He is the Voice that every rocker ever strived for. Fuck octaves or thirds etc. Let the Blues roam,. and Elvis be the King!

Hearing Bruce he gets it! He really gets it! That sound that always haunted him and Elvis...That's what it's all about.

Elvis himself, said it was the way he used his voice

i was 8 when he died and for my Generation it was George Michaels death for me I am still hurt by it he meant the same to me that Elvis did for you I am starting to like Elvis though

Elvis was not faithful to one woman. Even if Ann Margaret did go with Elvis:, he would have dropped her too

Ooh yes im still not over his death 😢😢❤😥😭😭😭😭💘💔 I just love him so much ..❤ because he was such a beautiful good gorgeous handsome generous ..and Talented human being x❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢

@@irmalavella166exactly and she couldn’t put up with that lifestyle Elvis led. No woman really could. All these people saying this and that women would have been different are delusional. It all came down to he basically mistreated his woman by being unfaithful to them and i think he had an issue with being intimate with them. He just needed a mother figure to care for him, someone to sleep next to him when he did come home.

Well said. Any time I need a reminder of what true love "looks" like. I watch that interview. She truly loved Elvis. She's on the verge of tears throughout that interview.

@@TheGreekPoet Right! She still loves him until this day. It's truly a beautiful thing.

@@Key-ho3qi It truly is 🙂❤️.

He hsd the bessingof god. Unikeother , he acknowledgedit, of a greater king above him, jesus christAND HE DID IT IN A CONCERT❗️hich no other etertsiner has done. Slleluia. Praise god

His headstone has his middle name spelled with 2 A Elvis Aaron Presley. On his birth certificate is elvis Aron Presley so they made a mistake and I don't know why it was that way

​@@carolineswitzenberg3307His father didn't have but a fifth grade education and spelled it wrong on the birth certificate. Elvis found out about it and had it spelled correctly legally with the 2 A's. So his headstone is correct in the spelling.

I think out of all Elvis' leading ladies, he and Ann-Margret had the best on-screen chemistry.

So did Pricilla!!!!

@@sharonjensen3016 well of course she could dance and she was pretty but so was his wife

Ann never says a thing in any of the interviews she does. She always appears medicated to me. The interviewer always tries to pry information out of her like pulling teeth. If you don’t want to talk why bother. Stay home.

@@JCX-9She didn’t want to gossip. There’s a difference, & I’m sure if she had been asked about what it was like working on set with him, she would have opened up. She just does not want to discuss what her & Elvis had together in their private romance. If she did want to, then she would be no different from all the other women who do interviews & tell it all, or write books about everything they did or said. She is a classy & beautiful lady. She treasures what they had together & does not want to tarnish those beautiful memories.

He said he was from Rigel, Blue Star of Orion, he said the gravity here was too heavy for him and he would have to leave early

❤

She was passed around Hollywood and ELVIS wanted a Virginia for a wife.😊

Elvis would have had a good life with Ann Margaret. She is genuine like Elvis was.

@@judiseith9064Ann could never put up with Elvises lifestyle, living in Graceland with the guys and Elvis chasing all the women. Let’s be realistic. She loved him but she was just one of the starlets he chased.

@@lilliangilbert4986no he didn’t lmao

Yyyyyes!!!

😂no one ever will. I listen to him every day and some night. It's so sad. I wish I had been there for him.

Exactly. When it mattered the most.

That's the truth! The media started tearing him down from the beginning and never stopped!

Same here. Finally she said something worthwhile. I came here in 1969 and all i remember was tabloids making fun of Elvis his weight, the drugs, the women. He was already treated like a has been. Now all these people praising him sounds so disingenuous.

🥰🇨🇵👍🙏

Correct . Never ever .

Actually he was from another universe, he said he was from Rigel, Blue Star of Orion, he said the gravity here was too heavy for him and he would have to leave early.

I heard Tonya went up to Vernon the day they showed him , and asked him where Elvis was . And Vernon said upstairs. Anyone else hear that ?

AMEN.

ohhhh, Sonny. If only you'd have handled your rage in being fired differently. Instead, you exposed your friend's most personal & private details, in an act of bitterness & revenge. He died 2 weeks after your hitjob book was released to the US. Your book shattered Elvis, breaking his heart.

@@synchronicity1470 Elvis was on a terrible destructive course and even those close to him knew it. Yes, maybe they shouldn't have wrote the book...it was a shoulda , woulda coulda moment. It did not mean none of them didn't love him or he didn't love them. Elvis wasn't a saint...it would of come out later anyway...but it didn't mean the people that were his fans didn't love him. He was human and dealt with A LOT of stress. It's a sad story...we miss him as fans and the ones that were close and really loved him I'm sure they did to. Elvis cared and loved them for a reason...and I'm sure they cared and loved him to. 👍 😊

Nf(

As a lifelong Elvis fan who has observed every tiny detail in complete concentration and even truly learned what is right from wrong on many things , from the type of person that he was; I can confirm that this is once if the truest things ever said . He trusted them and they broke his heart . He didn’t need to be black , white , brown , tall short fat or even nice … he had enough (when you compare it to today’s standards even more) to make it to the top even if he had been a monster .. he didn’t have to be a nice person … he decided to be one.

@@slackburngirl8593 😢 yes, thru all the betrayals he remained kind. Even when Red West called Elvis and recorded him, he remained kind, asking Red if he needed any financial help? I swear, one could hear the man's broken heart! Elvis dreaded the expected fallout fr that book. The hitjob worked as the MM wanted. To this day people disparage Elvis, having reduced him down to a fat has-been drug addict who died in the bathroom. The haters enjoy hurting him that way. EP was a sublime individual, generous to a fault. He literally gave those people their WORLD: car, house, guns, jewelry, travel the entire family enjoyed AND salary. Most are dead but still his ex-gfriends, cousins & their kids and the lying stepbrothers are spilling guts on Elvis & making a living off his life. I wish they'd just stop; get real jobs and let him have the privacy he so desperately desired!

I loved what Barbara Stanwyck said about Elvis. She called him a nice young man and liked working with him.

All except his damn wife

​@@sharonjensen3016 if Ann thinks that she wasn't a mistress she's not right In The head. She almost broke ELVIS's and Pricilla's relationship. That's what she did around Hollywood. She was passed around.😊

@@lilliangilbert4986 But Ann is glorified and still gets attention because of Elvis. She never speaks in her interviews because I think what you say it’s true. She likes that mystery of her relationship with Elvis. It was good for both their careers basically. But Elvis loved Priscilla and all the women he dated really looked like her. They didn’t look like Ann let’s face it. His last girlfriend Ginger looked like Priscilla and so did Linda Thompson.

Truth

Even Phil Spector thought Elvis was great.

@@sharonjensen3016 Phil Spector [1969]: "He's a great singer. Gosh, Elvis is so great. You have no idea how great he is, really, you don't. You have absolutely no comprehension-it's absolutely impossible. I can't tell you why he's so great, but he is. He's sensational. He can do anything with his voice."

Every recording artists is influenced by Elvis even if they don't know it or wont acknowledge it. If your playing popular music today and it isnt jazz then you are influenced by Elvis - even hip hop carries Elvis's swagger and beat.

He even invented bling.

God practised first on every man ever before Elvis, then he made the king

I wish he were here and knew that we didn't judge him!❤

Correct. His critically acclaimed recordings are REVELATORY and innovative. The sun sessions ALONE are the fusion of white country with black rhythm and blues, REVELATORY

Lillian what did you say to each other? Was there a conversation?

OK Lillian, give us the details!

Lucky you! 😍

@@pattipajestka9679 She was likely paralyzed and tongue-tied! I know that I would have been!

His favourite cover version of one of his songs is Elvis Presley's rendition of "Don't Think Twice It's Alright" ("the one I treasure the most." Good story for the grandkids, Bob!).

@@sharonjensen3016 naaaaa Hendrixs watchtower was his favorite ,he also says the same about little Richard and Chuck berry ......

Yes. I love Elvis, too. Thanks for watching.

I had got hired by Graceland in the summer of 1992..I lived in Knoxville and that's 5 hours away and my parents wouldn't let me move to Memphis. But my dad and brother went to Graceland for my graduation gift..we met Vester and Aunt Delta..Vester told me stories you just can't find in a book..loved it! I been to Elvis week a few times since..my cars broke or I'd go this year

@@adamkington5696 HOW SAD, BUT AT LEAST 1/2 YOU'R DREAM CAME TRUE, YOU GOT TO GO, AND AT LEAST YOU MET WHAT WAS LEFT OF HIS FAMILY.. MY HUSBAND, OUR KIDS AND I WERE ON OUR WAY TO ALABAMA FROM CALIFORNIA TO VISIT MY FAMILY AUG 16, '77, AND HE GOT OFF THE FREEWAY, I WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION WHERE WE WERE, BUT WE WERE ON THE CORNER OF GRACELAND!! THE STREETS WERE SO CROWDED WITH PEOPLE THAT WE COULDN'T DRIVE AROUND THE CORNER I'M TALKING ABOUT WALL TO WALL PEOPLE, FOR REAL!! THAT WAS A VERY SAD DAY, AND STILL WHEN I THINK OF IT, AND I THINK ABOUT HIM EVERY DAY BCUZ I CAN'T GO ONE DAY WITHOUT LISTENING TO ELVIS, AND HIM BEING NOT HERE. IT BRINGS BACK ALL THAT SADNESS, BUT HEY HE LEFT US ALL THAT MUSIC WITH HIS VOICE, AND THAT BRIGHTENS EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE AND I'VE BEEN DOING THAT SINCE I WAS ALMOST 4 YEARS OLD, AND I JUST RECENTLY TURNED 71. WE HAVE BEEN TO GRACELAND TWICE AND WE STOPPED AND WROTE MY NAME ON THE WALL A FEW OTHER TIMES WITHOUT GOING IN. TOO BAD THEY PAINT OVER ALL THE NAMES EVERY DAY, BCUZ THAT'S HOW GREAT HE WAS!! NOBODY WILL EVER MATCH THAT GUY, AND I'VE NEVER CARED ABOUT ANYBODY ELSE, MOVIE STARS OR SINGERS. THERE AIN'T NOBODY GOING TO MATCH ELVIS, NOT EVER! IN A MILLION YEARS THEY'LL STILL BE TALKING ABOUT HIM,! HE WAS THAT GREAT!!! TOO BAD HE DIDN'T KNOW IT, BUT HE DOES NOW! HE'S SINGING WITH THE ANGELS.

So you saw the funeral that happened on August 18.

@@dennydeckerful no sir

You can't save somebody from thenself. He had to want the help, in order to be helped.

Elvis was against drug use. Yet he thought because his medication was prescribed to him he wasn’t a drug abuser. Sad.

The Comeback Special!

Yeah, right she just don't want you to know that he quit her because of her big mouth. She had. Been passed around Hollywood and told everyone ELVIS was going to marry her Elvis, got pissed and never went with her again. He we t and marry PRICILLA 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂

Yes she is and i love her for doing so. I'm sad that Priscilla did not.

Good point

I still believe that Ann-Margret and Elvis were star-crossed soul mates and should have remained together!

I also love Elvis and won’t stop till I die and then I will look for him in heaven. My niece said, “Aunt Michele, there will be a long line”! Lol

Very informative and enjoyable interview.

I don't know why some people calls The Pressly Family trash. Because you have not got money you are not trash. Elvis had a precious mother she seen He had an education to even walked Him to school. God will judge the people who calls a person like the.a Pressly trash Another thing Elvis Loved all people. Did not carew what color you are Mary Rea

@@maryrea2314 indeed! They were poor; not trash. Elvis was educated enough and taught well enough by his mama to get along quite well in the world. His Christian core was an anchor. It is always hurtful when people strike out in blame & insult on Elvis & his family.

Yes, he was a Trailblazer

There's a belief that Elvis was King Tut in another life. There are similarities. Elvis recorded a song called "Little Egypt" and wore an Ankh cross in later years. There is a Memphis in Egypt.

@@sharonjensen3016 that is very interesting indeed Sharon. I believe in reincarnation and synchronicity in events in our lives, past and present.

ELVIS IS THE BEST!! There WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER LIKE ELVIS!? ANN MARGRET JUST DOESN'T WANT TO SAY SHE SLEPT WITH HIM. AND SHE TOLD PEOPLE HE WAS GOING TO MARRY HER. ELVIS CHOSE PRECILLA, HE DIDN'T WANT TO MARRY AN ACTRESS. ANN WAS A FLOOSY IN HOLLYWOOD. HAD SLEPT WITH MANY IN HOLLYWOOD.💙😜💜💙💜💙💜

Same here with me. I didn’t know what he looked like or anything about him. I still remember the 1st song I ever heard of his which was “A fool such as I” I was playing in the driveway and the neighbors next-door had a radio at their kitchen window which was facing the driveway that I was on. I was maybe 8 years old. I had gotten a radio when I was 11. I would search for that voice, especially on Saturday nights. I ended up listening to a radio station from Cincinnati, (I lived in New England) that would play a lot of his music. That’s when I found out that his name was Elvis. The other song that he sang “The thrill of your love” well that sealed the deal I was a fan forever. To me there was something about the way he expressed himself through a song that was just magical, I had never heard anything like it. I enjoy many types of music but for me he is at the top.

@@jcbones3098 Great memories you have. As a kid my mom bought his gospel Lp's and we played them in our Christian home. Fell in love with his voice long before I saw any tv show of Elvis. It's his phenomenal baritone voice that grabbed me, and the feeling and sincerity he sings with. There's no one like him, ever! His voice was blessed by the Lord for sure. His music lives on. ⚡👍🤗🇿🇦

@@Wildlife_SA. "the feeling and sincerity he sings with” well said. You know they call him the king of rock & roll because he’s the one that popularized it, but to me he’s the king because of the way his voice comes through majestically on so many songs. And yes he was definitely blessed. I have heard more than one top musician say that his timing in a song was impeccable. Well that is god given natural talent when you take into consideration that he never really had any formal training. He was blessed.

Right !!!? None. Just his talent that which he perfected and his emotional intelligence which shot right through the entire song and let you know how he felt .

He had looks and talent like nobody before and nobody since . This makes him irreplaceable and cemented in time forever.

Sorry I don't know what those last two words mean. Not being rude, just want to understand. I have loved Elvis since I was 13 and am now 80 and the Moore I learn about him the more I love him as he had a big heart and loved all his fans. My heart aches about his last years. Trying to have faith he will be rewarded. He was the most amazing man I ever knew of and believe thousands of us have so much love of him . I believe he was the most talented singer ever.

@@mildredrodgers8562 I hope that you've used Google already to find the answers to your questions. Nowadays with a computer when can find the answers to almost everything. Bless you Mildred. I hope this finds you well. 🙂
