I met Elvis at a gas station in Toledo, Ohio when my twin sister & I were 4-years old! My dad got out of the car to talk to a guy in the next lane. Next thing you know, Elvis pops his head in our car, introduces himself, shakes our hands and tells us he's a twin too (he died at birth). That was 1956 and I still remember being "all shook up" and knew who he was being it was his first year of being famous. Impressive man indeed.

I was his friend for years up until his death. No one knew more than Elvis did how much he screwed up, he owned everything that he did in his life he blamed no one but himself for the shape he was in, and the choices he made. Priscilla also owns her part in the ending of their marriage she and i still talk a lot the loss of Lisa broke her. Elvis and i spoke a few times before his death he was the big brother i never had. We both needed a friend and we were that for each other. The memories we made in those short years are locked away in my heart forever. The last time we spoke we cried a lot because we both knew he was living on borrowed time he called me kiddo he said kiddo everything will be ok i said no it wouldn't because you will not be here anymore. He gave me the biggest hug and that sweet smile i will never forget. 3 days later he was gone and i will never get over it. #forevermysexyjello #forevermyking

He was legendary, and he could sing in every genre of music. As huge as he was, he could have been even bigger if Colonel Tom Parker, his manager, hadn’t taken so much from him, including letting him become a serious actor, which he wanted to do, and actually showed signs of having the potential for. His acting in “Love Me Tender”, “Jailhouse Rock”, and “King Creole” (films made earlier in his career) showed real ability. Col. Tom refused to let him make movies he wouldn’t be top star in. He did make some entertaining musical movies through the 60’s, but he really hated doing them eventually.

@catwhisperer9489 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I read, one time, that they wanted Elvis for "A Star is Born" (starring opposite Barbra Streisand, instead of Chris Christofferson), but because Col. Parker wanted top billing for Elvis, and they wouldn't give it to him, the colonel wouldn't let him do it! Also, Colonel Parker demanded a certain percentage of publishing rights (or something like that) to every song Elvis sang. Elvis wanted, very badly, to sing Dolly Parton's song "I Will Always Love You", but she refused to give up the publishing rights (and rightly so, IMO), so Elvis didn't get to record it. It was rumored that Elvis never got to tour Europe because Colonel Parker wasn't a U.S. citizen (if he left, he couldn't get back in).... Colonel Parker has sounded, many times, to me, like a schmuckwad!!!

@empire7179 Жыл бұрын

Yeah and they even try to say Elvis was a racist when it was nobody but the Colonel.. Elvis wasn't racist at all. Like you said the Colonel took so much from Elvis..

He was volunteering his time to teach us all about working on a stage. The best part was his stories of what various performers were like back stage. He told us that Elvis one of the few performers who would come out of his dressing room, grab a chair and talk with the stage crew as one of the guys. He had so much respect from everyone.

Elvis lived in the projects off Beale Street in Memphis. He went to Sun Records in 1954 and made a record for his Mama, called "That's Alright Mama." When they asked him who he sounded like, he said, "I don't sound like nobody." A DJ named Dewey Phillips played his record and teens called in all night asking him to play it again. The radio station tried to get in touch with him to come to the station to be interviewed, but he was at the movies, so his parents tracked him down. He went to the radio station, thought he was just talking with a couple of people, he didn't know he was on the air until after the video. Elvis was drafted into the army. They wanted him to be one of the guys that went around and performed, but he refused. He wanted to be a regular soldier like everybody else, so he served in Germany. He was still mobbed in Germany. That's where he met Priscilla a few months before he was discharged. His mother died while he was in Germany. He was very close to his mother and he had a twin brother named Jessie Garon who died at birth. He was always lonely for his twin.

Elvis was one of a kind. This is an outtake from one of his movies Jailhouse Rock. Elvis died Aug. 16, 1977. I was fixing to turn 16 and I went into hysterics when they interrupted my tv show to announce he'd passed away. 5 minutes later my mom had joined me. For more of his iconic dance moves check him out live in Vegas in 1970 performing Suspicious Minds or Polk Salad Annie. The only reason Vegas has huge artists performing there every night is because of what Elvis brought to Vegas. Frank Sinatra may have worked in Vegas but Elvis made it THE destination to see past and present big name music stars perform nightly. How Elvis was discovered is a long and involved story that, when it comes down to it, was due to his persistence and another man's fascination with finding a white artist with a feel for 'black' music.

Elvis was very active and was even nicknamed "ELVIS THE PELVIS" even when he got older & didn't dance around as much he actually did karate moves on stage & had a silk scarf around his neck that he would wipe the sweat & tears off himself & give it to women in the audience. He was a NOTORIOUS ladies man and allegedly had women at every concert, he dated some legendary movie stars & one girlfriend was Linda Thompson which later married Bruce Jenner(now Kaitlyn Jenner) had 2 sons with him. My high school music teacher was announced he was to be Elvis's new piano player and b4 he could start, Elvis suddenly passed away from a heart attack. My mom absolutely loved & adored Elvis & the other ladies men like Tom Jones, Englebert Humperdink(yes that's his real name), Julio Eglasias, John Davidson, etc... so I've loved them all since I can remember.

I recall after several appearances on The Ed Sullivan TV Show our nation embraced Elvis as the King Of Rock 'n roll. Then after quite a few chart topping hits he became anointed as just THE KING. Many singers not only admired him but they aspired to become him. His fame was mimicked by a very talented kid who quit his family group, married Elvis's daughter, and labeling himself The King Of Pop, Michael Jackson. Despite all of MJ's accomplishments along with his superstardom,the King of Pop never really surpassed the worldwide following that came with being "THE KING." From the suggestive hips of Elvis to the Moon walking feet of Michael Both kings historically were successful and equally loved as well.

Aug 16, 1977 Who remembers where they were? I do! I was 11 yrs. old & sitting in the back of an Oldsmobile, at a convenience/gas station store, in Cleveland Ohio, waiting with the driver, for 2 other adults that went in to the store. Seconds before they returned, the radio announcer blared over the radio, "Elvis Presley is dead"! I only remember the driver's face in shock and the other two adults getting in the car with obvious disbelief and shock on their faces. I just kept looking at them and listening as the report came in more length and as the reality set in, the tears began to fall. I'll never forget where I was the day that Elvis died. Only M.J. and 9/11 are embedded in my memory in that same fashion.

He was a true entertainer, not many left these days and a very humble person (as humble as one can be with the crowds of people that would rush him especially in the early days). My grandmother was walking in a casino in Las Vegas and she seen him with his entourage walking from one of his shows. She said hello and while he didn't sit down and talk to her or anything he at least stopped turned around said hello and shook her hand. That really speaks a lot to one's character. No matter how bad his health got in the later years his voice never failed him...wow.

I still get a kick how most people do not realize that this song is about guys having sex in prison..."rock -n- roll" was slang for sex in the black community back in the 50s and Elvis knew this as he grew up in that culture. When he answered the question "What kind of music is this" he answered with "Its LIKE rock-n-roll baby". He was saying the music was like sex, and that is how the genre got its name, with Elvis's answer by people that had no idea what he was saying. "Number forty-seven said to number three: "You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see. I sure would be delighted with your company, Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me.""

Elvis was found by Sam Phillips, who owned Sun Records, in the early 50s. Elvis came into his studio to record a song for his mother. Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis (I think) also recorded with Sam Phillips. Elvis started out strong in the US, then his career took a hit when he left to serve in the Army. He was able to bring it back and become a legend.

What is interesting is Elvis went into the army the following year. Elvis Aron Presley entered the United States Army at Memphis, Tennessee, on March 24, 1958, and then spent three days at the Fort Chaffee, Arkansas, Reception Station. He left active duty at Fort Dix, New Jersey, on March 5, 1960, and received his discharge from the Army Reserve on March 23, 1964.

He didn't have a big break like alot of others. In 1954 he walked into Sun Records Studio to make a record for his mom's birthday. He wanted to give her a special gift. He tried a few songs and nothing really worked. The owner Sam Phillips was not there just the secerary. She could tell he had something. A few days later she gave Sam Elvis' number and he called and said come back in. He teamed his up with the Legendary talents of Scotty Moore and Bill Black and they worked a while on some others. Then finally they gave Elvis a beat on the drums and guitar and they came up with That's All Right Mama. And that was her birthday gift. It was climbing the charts rapidally and played on the radio so much, it became a popular hit. The rest is history!!! Elvis was discovered and only recorded and released 4 other songs on this small label. Elvis outgrew this and on the Louisiana Hayride Show he was the most popular singer the people wanted to hear. They didn't want to listen to the others. So Colonel Tom Parker was there, offered him a contract and it was the highest bought contract for years. The Colonel became his manager, dropped the ohter 4 he was managing and said I'm managing you only and sold his contract to RCA. In '56 a few months later he came out with Heartbreak Hotel. It went #1 was a multi million selling record and stayed on the charts for several weeks in a row. So just in a year and a half he went big. Most any one else it takes several years to make a name for themselves. From then on it was one after another!!!! They began to call him the KING of the charts!!!!!

A ton of money in them days. An eerie fact relating to the movie: the female star Judy Tyler died a few days before the premiere of the movie. Elvis was devastated by this and refuse to watch the film.

The 1977 death of Elvis was the first time that I, as a young child had experienced hearing the news of a national tragedy. I wasn't born when President Kennedy was assassinated. I have flashes of memories hearing about the Watergate scandal & President Nixon's resignation on TV. But when you're a little kid, you don't realize the magnitude of the news you're hearing. You are in your own little bubble world. Elvis' passing was the first time that I witnessed the entire country in shock & mourning. I was 10 yrs old & can still clearly remember that day - mom was cleaning house, she had the radio on & when the DJ made the announcement, she & my aunt started cry-yelling (wailing as if in physical pain). It kind of scared me to see that strong of an emotional reaction, that seemingly came out of nowhere. My uncle turned on the TV & it was being broadcasted on every channel. I remember going outside, seeing my neighbors gathering on the streets, going to my friends' houses & seeing their parents crying... It was awful. The only other time I experienced a celebrity death which affected me on a personal level was Robin Williams' suicide in 2014.
