@@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

Thanks for watching 74… best, Joe

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 👍🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼👏🏼💯❤️

He loved God who sinned on numerous occasions 🤣🤣

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Sandra.... Joe

Wonderful! Go on keeping Elvis' legacy!👍👍

That’s awesome!!

I'm sorry, but I gotta say "stop it".

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.

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. 😀

I just clicked the 42nd Like...

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 💕

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

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.

Ele está vivo

Roscoe Scott Holloway

@@adilsawense6101 no he isn't Elvis is dead

Thanks Pam... Joe

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.

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..

👋😊🇺🇸

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.

Thanks Jill ..... joe

Great memory. Thanks for this.

Thanks for watching Cathy....Joe

Ele vive

Made me cry too.

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!

Funny,. There’s a gospel singer named Carroll Robertson who sounds alot like Elvis! He’s from Tupelo!

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!!!

Again thank you very much 707.....Joe

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.

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!

Hi Erk... yes he was and so was Elvis to have James as a real friend... Thanks for watching... joe

@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum 👍👍👍

I cried then and again watching him share his story.

I was 10.My mom cried too!

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.

I was 10 also. My mom was crying in the kitchen.

👍👍👍

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 KZfaq 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!

One of the saddest days ever; we lost such an exceptional human being on that day... A real legend.

Great story!

Thanks for watching CLC... Joe

Do they mean James brown the singer or Jim brown the football player?

@@jamesbaka1206 James Brown the singer.

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 💜💜💜

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!!!

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

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.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Paul... joe

Had no idea James Brown and Elvis Presley were that close😥Really Sad!

@@islandgirl5382 there are 2 James burton, James brown,

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.

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

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Tracy.... best, Joe

I was 10 and you are right about the lifelong dedication. Have been to Graceland 11 times and not a day goes by since then that I have not listened to one of his songs. Have collected every record.

❤❤❤❤❤ 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 🙏🏻

His contribution to Ricky Nelson sound was obvious, he had such such a brillant style !

It still has that effect doesn’t it… thanks for watching Tom…. Joe

@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum I rewatch this often and you can see in his eyes how shocked he was! Still gives me the chills!
