I knew a guy who was in the army with Elvis and he said everyone liked Elvis. He was a good guy and not conceited at all. He also said a couple of jealous guys picked a fight with him and Elvis knocked them both on their ass and no one ever tested Elvis after that.
Life was better with Elvis in the world
Back in June 1971, Bill performed at my high school's all night grad party. It happened to be opening night at Magic Mountain in Valencia California. My date back then is my wife today. We got married in 1975. We have two sons and four grandchildren.
Love Bill Medley talking about Elvis as a human being not a pay check, wish they had done unchained Melody together ,that would have been FANTASTIC
" Elvis would never humiliate, or embarrass anyone!" He had a good innocent sense of humor, & the great Bill Medley just proved it!"
Elvis was the Man! To bad there wasn't footage of him doing this!
How cool is that..?a Legend..talking about the biggest Legend..
the absolute best duo in the history of music,bar none.
Wow, what a gracious and respectful tribute to his friend Elvis. Very humble coming from a man that was an enormous performer in his own right.
That was a great story..he was so kind and complimentary of Elvis..such a wonderful friend to have 🌹
Wow!! What an unbelievable memory for Bill! That must have been one of those he held close to his heart. Such a class act Mr. Medley.
Yes, he suddenly realised who Elvis Presley was, because he was chatting to him as a friend, then standing in the wings with the music and the screaming, he realised thats Elvis Presley, megastar, idol, loved by millions.
Tom Jones and George Harrison had the same disbelief when they met him, my god thats Elvis Presley.
I'd have fainted as would hundreds of millions of others.
LONG LIVE THE KING ❤
Worshiping a human is a fatal misadventure.
@@davidb2206absolutely correct! Elvis was a man who loved “head!”😂 He wasn’t a saint,he was a human being!….just like you & me!
Lovely to hear about their friendship. Bill, love your music! Thank you for the story.
Medley really makes you feel like Elvis was a good guy. There are no stories of Elvis being mean to anyone. I think he was just a pure, loving southern gentleman with an innocent soul that got messed around by a cheat, thug and scoundrel named Col. Parker. Medley was a powerful force in music and still is. The two of them were friends and I bet Elvis had few real friends like Bill Medley.
Bill Medley is a super class act. Truly a righteous guy!!
This is hilarious, wish I’d been there to witness it. I was a junior in high school in ‘68, so I grew up listening to Elvis. Bill Medley’s story isn’t really about himself, it’s all about Elvis. After all, it has always been about Elvis.
People were decent way back like Elvis and Bill Medley.
Changed days indeed whereas today, you don't need talent, just be as suggestive as possible.
@@someoneelse.2252 That´s it, it is exactly as you put it.
@@someoneelse.2252 Compared to what's around today, Elvis wasn't obscene. I don't think so, anyway. But then, I'm a child of the 70s, and while there was still some censorship going on (the "f-word" being bleeped out of some movies and never used on TV shows), people were pretty much shock-proof.
Nostalgia is a seductive liar.
Elvis was such a nice guy. All the screaming woman before he went on must have been terrifying 😳. Lordie !!! Can't imagine .Love hearing stories about him
It' s nice to hear someone talk about Elvis in a kind way. Bill knew Elvis. But he knew the person. That' s the difference.
ah, not too many spoke of Elvis in any other way but kind. Everyone who knew him said he was a lovely, generous, funny, loving man.
I love these stories Bill tells about Elvis. Bill was a beautiful soul.
People don't get how big Elvis was, biggest superstar ever by far!
And it didn't do him a bit of good. Often lonely and dead at 42.
Just because people don't get how big he was doesn't mean he was the biggest, but the fact that the only superstar anyone ever compares him to is Michael Jackson says plenty.
@@realplayer54 Elvis was 1000 times better than that overrated pedophile.
Elvis? Meh. Now we are all about Bieber and Gaga.
@@realplayer54 Elvis is much bigger than MJ. No comparison. People are now already forgetting about MJ.
What an amazing story! Thank you so much for sharing! Back then there was so much true talent! I grew up with and love both, the Righteous Brothers and Elvis Presley. This was just the perfect story to hear to make my day!! ❤🥰🙏🙏🙏😊 God bless you Bill!
Elvis you will always be the BEST OF EVERYTHING YOU DID IN YOUR LIFE, LOVE YOU
It's been said that before anyone did anything, Elvis did everything.
I just listened to a really famous singer talked about another really famous singer in a very humble manner. 👍🏼
Elvis was like no other - had it all - homespun - great voice - beautiful looking- great dancer - sex appeal - and had a real pious side - he knew all the religious songs - he was down to earth - no wonder he went out like a light bulb - he burned too bright and it's a pity who didn't really check out for a few years and decompress . Oh well - meteor !
If only the politicians and religious could behave in that type of manner.
Please YOUNG People. Understand This.....
These Men Were From an Era Where You ALWAYS Treated People With.........
R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
Elvis Was awesome but ill take a bill medley medley anytime!
I love Bill, my get and go song is “lost that loving feeling “ my dog even loves it because he knows we are going walkies straight after it 😅❤
Great story! Hi, Bill😁😁😁
He's not only a great singer, he's also a great story teller!
Bobby Hatfield was unbelievable. Between the two of them........best duo ever, IMHO.
Bill Medley was a really good friend to ElVIS
He has the best memories of ELVIS. Can only imagine if they did a private duet, what
If..... ?!
lovely story... beautifully told
Hate to sound like a troll, but there's nothing special about the way he told that story.
@@realplayer54 it’s who he’s telling about.
Yes...elvis is king...but Bill singing Soul Inspiration is THE MAN!!!
Elvis was really awesome!! Once in a lifetime type of guy!!!
I love Bill Medley! 💯❣
I have no idea why i take pride in stories of Elvis' humanity.
It's because everyone thinks a king can't know people. They usually don't. The idea and truth that he's a real person.
He was so handsome back in the day.
The limo story made smile, you are a truly privileged gentleman, sir.
Great story. Thank you Bill Medley!!
This is a great set of stories from a legend about another legend that further confirms the legendary status of both legends.
Always loved Bill Medley. One of the greatest voices ever...and with Bobby Hatfield no one could beat them.
An Oasis Can : They were good but couldn’t top The voices of The Righteous Brothers !!!!
@@roseblake5803 You are so right. I love The Everly Bros but they don't have the range and the soul of TRB
@An Oasis Can I liked them too; but they can't come close to Bobby and Bill they are the best male duo ever.
I saw The Righteous Brother's in the 70's, Bill and Bobby were the best!!!!
Beautiful story, and tribute to our beloved Elvis! 🤍
He’s a real gentleman and entertainer! Thanks for that story!
Loved this interview!
What great stories about "The King"!
Two great legends..ELVIS AND BILL MEDLEY...you look wonderful😍
Cool stories!
Love this. Never knew they knew each other. Love them both. Best voices ever!!!
Thanks Bill.
Great story, only Elvis could cause such a delightful fuss. God bless his dear heart!!!
what a great story
First time I've heard someone give some love to roy hamilton, a great forgotten vocalist. I had read that Elvis took after him.
Really great stories of elvis, told by Bill medley. He sounds like he's a very nice guy and has a good sense of humor. Great stories!
LOVE IT XXXXXXX EP THE GREATEST ALWAYS... Great stories about the king xxxxx
Always like Bill Medley's voice. Truly, one of the most mellow voices of our time.
That "...hi Bill..." shit was hilarious! That was a great one Elvis!
That was very Gracious of Mr Meledy,
Love Bill Medley. Loved Elvis. Love hearing these personal stories. Thank you, Bill!!
Great story!
I miss Elvis. Bill Medley is a really good guy, and perhaps one of the greatest baritone/tenors of pop music ever!
Wonderful stories! Mr. Medley seems like a really great guy!
I love the stunt that elvis pulled on Bill by walking across the stage.
Love the story. Elvis was so kind and generous. R.I.P..
That's not what Priscilla said.
Love you Bill! Thank you for all the good times and stories you told us about Elvis and many others. One of the kindest most humble man I have ever known.
I get goosebumps every time i watch this video...blows me away ! thank you!
Always loved Bill Medley and, of course THE RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS!! AMAZING story teller! And never lost that lovin’ feeling for you or Elvis! ♥️♥️
Thank God for Elvis. Elvis used to say, "I'm not the King. Jesus Christ is the King." What class.
Elvis was just being honest because it was true.
@@camcam8386 The King of Kings and Lord of Lords The Alpha and Omega The Beginning and The End.
Thank you Jesus !
That's not class, that's a fact.
It was reporter ( by former band members ) he use to play around with dark forces . He wanted to sing gospel but that's not where the.money was . Great voice, great talent.
Amen!
Just another example of Elvis's brilliance.
I'd have been more thrilled to see Bill Medley in that back seat than Elvis!
A bunch of legends ))
The Righteous Brothers sang such powerfull music.
My dad would have agreed with that.
Nobody then and now can match Bill and Bobby!!!!!
Wonderful stories
I never knew Elvis buddied up with Bill. This is a great story.
fantastic insight, love these stories, very funny also, great for all of us who didn't see him live
Bill Medley has a one of a kind beautiful voice........Love stories of the KING.....
Everyone was in awe of Elvis.
I wasn't. He didn't even write songs. Lennon and McCartney are two to be in awe of.
@@davidb2206 you know what Lennon and McCartney were also awe struck around Elvis.
Elvis may not have written songs, but he sang every word of them with such feeling and passion.
@@davidb2206
ELVIS DIDN'T HAVE TO WRITE SONGS, PEOPLE WROTE THEM FOR HIM!
@@naomiwarner7117 Try it and you'll be in awe of the talent needed to compose, play, and then sing songs.
Great story. a great storyteller, a great singer, and he seems like a genuinely nice guy. Thanks for sharing Mr. Medley.
Wonderful stories. Elvis = magic
Great story of Elvis. Can you imagine having one on one with Elvis 40 times?
Nice story!
Awesome!
Great great stories forever saved now for generations to hear. Thank you Mr. Medley.
What a story.
Wow..very fascinating story. Bill is a Legend himself.
It was really nice listening to his stories about Elvis. Thank you for this video. It made me feel good.
Cool insight. There was Elvis - and then there was "Elvis".
Bill's voice was awesome and paired beautifully with Bobby's. We will never lose that lovin' feeling.
never seen this... loved it.
Bill and elvis were part of a brotherhood of good guys
Great anecdotes from Bill Medley--shows the difference between the public image of Elvis: the Mega-Star-Entertainer, and the private image of Elvis: the guy who loved a low-key, practical joke (walking onstage as Medley sings 'Loving Feeling.')
That is one of the funny stories in Bill's book
This was great!! Thanks Bill Medley -- for the stories and for your outstanding music!
So happy to have heard this story..
The ending is what gets me... because like he said you could get comfortable as good friends... but ittl hit you again its ELVIS🤯🤯
I've listened to this 3 times now over the last couple years, just some really cool insight on a real personal level.
Wow, what a great guy, seriously he could have gone on for hours, would have listened
Bill Medley has such a beautiful voice. Got to see TRB perform in Denver just before Bobby died. They were both amazing and I felt so fortunate to see them.
Brilliant.
Medley should write a BOOK about this stuff !!!
He did. "The time of my life"
@@patricialabbe1416Just like the great Bill Medley duet with
Priceless memories! I am so glad great entertainers, like Bill are willing to share memories, like this.
This voice!
I saw this guy last year in Vegas. The show was flawless, he hasn't slowed down a bit.
I'm writing this in June 2024. I saw Bill Medley in Vegas 3 months ago, and he's still got it! I got to meet him after the show, and he's a genuinely nice man. Love him! He has recently announced his retirement from touring, but he has a new album coming soon. A true legend!
What a lovely story. Amazing how everyone says how nice Elvis was .
Bill Medly , is the most humble singer i know, no wonder her and Elvis got along.......i saw Bill Medley in Vegas recently, and he always has a story of ELvis on the show, God Bless him,
Elvis was amazing ,im thankful to have been around thru it all
I happened to be standing at the gates with a couple of people when Elvis’s limousine pulls up , I said hi and he looked at me and said Howdy 1970
I loved his stories!
