Elvis would be angry if someone called him "The King"! 😂 I remember when someone yelled out "Elvis The King" during one of his concerts, he said "NO, THERE IS ONLY 1 KING AND HIS NAME IS JESUS CHRIST, I'm just a man who sings". Facts!😂 Got to love this singing man! 🥰😘😍❤
I wish I could have seen him in concert but I was only 7 when he died! I remember that day like it was yesterday and even back then I loved Elvis, then, now, and forever 💙...
Elvis didn't look like a guy who would've said that to a fan, calling him the King. His religious statement was not to put a crown a fan would give him, during a concert, on his head.
The next best thing after seeing Elvis life in concert for real, is a holographic Elvis in concert. The holographic technic will be so good in a few years, it's possible they can copy every life performance Elvis did and the holographic Elvis on stage will look like the real thing
There are many gospel male singers today….and when they sing 🎵 people surrender their Lives to Christ Jesus ✝️😢🧎🏽🙏🧎🏻♀️ These Gospel singers are truly anointed by the Holy Spirit🕊 Look up Christian male singers…there are many.
Several stories that have been told mentioned how Elvis read all the time and the books he read was religious books. He was really interested in the different religions, confused about a lot of things but he continued to read. Even the women he dated told of how he read the Bible or books like that all the time!! He knew religion and Christ!! If his followers held signs that said “King” he would tell them there was only one King and that was Jesus Christ! So no one can say if he did or didn’t, only Elvis himself knew! I believe he did because he was so kind to people and never hurt anyone!
Joe is human and humans make mistakes but Joe has class and speaks the nicest about Elvis. And the fact that Priscilla and Jerry Schilling went to his funeral speaks volumes.
Yeah I just said he didn’t know. Gladys would have told him all about it if she had been alive. She was very good at telling stuff. Elvis didn’t tell all the old stories cause he showed you around his house.
What I’ve heard from some people Elvis did not want to get married. From a couple MM and another one was his cook and she said Elvis was upset because he did not want to get married. So why make it look like he was madly in love with Priscilla??????? The only thing that came good from the marriage was his daughter Lisa Marie. Lisa was 😢he love of his life. The marriage lasted 6 years and Pricilla wanted a divorce. 😮😮😮😮
@@user-ge8lt1mw9oNot true at all. He and Priscilla were close to the end. She was 14 (he was 24)when they started dating. She grew up and wanted her own life. That was all.
@@juliedewyer1366 Explain to me one thing: Years and years before marriage, Elvis did not hide his life style or his womanizing. Why in Gods name did she want to marry him????? And the ogger how he was after marriage, (so she claimed) why in the hell would she want to be buried at Graceland next to this man?????
Miss you ! I was a youngster when you started singing on the radio. Listened to you &=was so excited when you were on the Ed Sullivan show . Of course, my dad didn’t like me watching you on TV because you “ wiggled your hips”. No one could not stop me from loving your music. Still do have all your music, from 45’s to 78, & DVD . I listen very often . Love ❤️ you Elvis the pelvis.
Every celebrity could learn a lot from how Elvis was so humble caring loving never let his fame turn who he was such a gift from god god bless his soul
Amazing we are the same age I grew up listening to him my parents both were fans of him.I can remember that day in 1977 like it was yesterday radio was playing and the song just stopped and on came a man's voice telling us Elvis was dead I cried.with the loss of his Grandson Benjamin Im praying for strength for Lisa I can't imagine her pain.
I was 2 when Elvis passed. My parents were fans too. The first time I went to Graceland I was about 4 years old and went with my parents and brother. I went back in 2002 and was just there this month from 8/15 - 8/18. I will go back again next August too. I'm in the suburbs of Chicago so it's about a 9 hour drive.
I was 8 years old and I cried when I heard Elvis passed away! I watched all his movies for days following his passing,all the channels were playing them
I was 14 when he passed away. I loved watching his movies and his music! I remember asking my mom if I could stay up past my bedtime anytime one of his movies came out on tv. She always did. I saw the new Elvis movie with Austin Butler. I loved it!
I understand why Elvis chose Joe Esposito to be part of his inner circle. This presentation was very well done. I was disgusted by some of the material that came out by the so called “Memphis Mafia”. Even as older men, they were vulgar, disrespectful, and sounded like leftover groupies. Great job, Mr. Esposito! You represented Elvis well.
The so called memphis mafia, weren't worthy of being called friends, they were simply scum of the earth that were there for what they could get out of Elvis, Joe not included in this. He was true to the end x
Elvis, always and forever! He had a heart of gold, a genuine concern for others, and the love of his family endured. I just finished reading the book, “Destined to Die Young”. It makes his real life very real and you will understand exactly why!!
I read this book too! Now I am reading "Child Bride" Priscilla Presley". . I wish he and Lisa Marie were still here. Wish we could have heard them sing together!!❤❤😊😊
I remember years later I saw a movie Bye Bye Birdie and I was sitting in the theater after Bye Bye Birdie and I was thinking man I wish these two should get together I actually said an actual prayer if they would meet and do a movie together I love them both and later I found out Viva Las Vegas came to be!!! and it was almost like my prayers were answered and I found they'd fell in look after they make the movie and there were something so satisfactory to me don't know why, but it did satisfy me. And I realized we must be all interconnected we must B all kind of interconnected!!!
Elvis Presley is celebrated and loved like no other person in modern times each and every year on his memorial day. It really is quite something incredibly special. This documentary brings home the influence he truly had and has today on our world. Long live the King of Rock & Roll ~ Elvis Aaron Presley
@@lorichet what the heck are you talking about? the only people who would hate him are jealous, racist or just hateful people. He is loved by billions and billions of people alive or dead. stop talking nonsense!
@@JamieSpear007 Where have you been? You never saw the TV. specials about Elvis the supposed junkie? You never heard the false rumors about him? You never saw the movie "Elvis"? Are you serious? Elvis has been the target of more character assassination than any other entertainer in history, by far. He didn't die from drug abuse. The poor man died young from natural causes.
@@lorichet I disagree. All the drugs he had in his system was too much strain on his body he was a ticking timebomb and his heart was enlarged and failed in the end. But yes all those false things said about him affected him deeply as well and took toll on his failing poor health with the drug abuse of meds.
I've always loved Joe Esposito. He was so loyal to Elvis in life, as well as post-death. EP was blessed to have had him as a friend. There will never be another Elvis and may God rest his soul. 🙏🙏💖💖🎯🎯😎😎🎸🎸🎶🎶
Joe, you are a really good friend, brother, father and son..♥️. Every time you talk about Elvis, you cry 😢! Only family members or real friends do that! Now you're back with your best friend 😍
Elvis was such a beautiful man. As a kid, I couldn't wait to get older, grow my hair long, dye it jet-black, and style it like he did. Unfortunately, when it came to hair, I lost the genetic lottery. It's just as well, I suppose, as Elvis' looks and charisma were unparallelled. He was an original, never to be repeated. The fact that new generations continue to listen to his music and swoon over his good looks says a lot.
@@user-rr2eo7gb7z I’m noticing how Esposito’s side of story is very optimistic. This is the 1st time I’ve heard Colonial Tom referred to in a nice respectful manner. This is an important part of the Elvis Story and I would recommend it to all interested in The Elvis Presley Story.
LINDA TAYLOR WAS SPOT ON! ELVIS WAS UNIVERSAL, HE BELONGED TO THE WORLD! ELVIS WAS THE KIND OF ENTERTAINER, WHO COULD TAKE YOU BACK IN TIME. HE MAY HAVE LIVED IN THE FUTURE, BUT HE ACTUALLY THOUGHT AND LIVED IN THE PAST! PERHAPS IF HIS TWIN BROTHER HAD SURVIVED AT BIRTH, I BELIEVE HIS LIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT! IRMA VAN EYSSEN
ELVIS PRESLEY still the main attraction on u tube. It's been 43 years since his mysterious death a still everybody still. Talking. Elvis presley always wondered if his fans would forget him after he was gone. Elvis presley now knows probably looking through the glassy sea ,,,,, from Heaven.
The only person in the world that is still loved so much that they are honored with a annual candlelight vigil for 43 years with thousands in attendance. Yes Elvis, we remember❣️❣️
Joe was a really good friend to elvis. He had an exciting life with elvis. We would've loved to had just one hour with him joe was very blessed to be there with him
@@PyprSMASH You don't know your facts child. Until you do, you make yourself sound foolish. Every woman he was with was an adult except for the one he wanted for his wife. He married her when she was 21. Ann Margaret, Anita Wood, Linda Thompson, Ginger Alden, June Juanico, Natalie Wood, Dixie Locke all were adults and girlfriends.
Richard Eidemiller Lol cool soap box on Elvis ... who couldn’t run his career so the people who did stole from him and yes.. it was under aged girls he said he wanted to train Priscilla ... pay attention.
I am a 38-year-old woman who happens to be blind. I think that Joe Esposito‘s voice is so genuine, soothing, and extremely sexy! I have always thought that since I have learned more about the Memphis mafia and since I knew who Joe Esposito was, since I was very young. He seems like he was a very humble and modest guy. I can definitely understand why Elvis would be closer to him than most of the rest of the Memphis mafia.
The guy was really one of a kind. Its amazing actually. Even more so when u think about it.. I mean my god man he was beautiful and insanely talented.. its unreal. I love it..
Does anyone know the name of the blues song playing in the background on guitar when Joe first starts talking? I can't remember the name of it but love it so much....thank you.
I'm the bestest Elvis fan who ever lived, i wanted to meet joe so bad, finely 2015 at Vernon's house, got to spend 30min with him, can't tell you how much that meant to me, one of Elvis true friends to the end, RIP joe good man🙏
Mr. John Llewellyn I believe that I saw this about a month ago and I remember I could almost here I kind of nervous excitement in your voice when you talked to Jo and I remember feeling that way when I met Shirley MacLaine it is an exciting and awesome Starstruck kind of thing even if it is the friend of the person is like you touch this person and that person touched that person excetera excetera LOL LOL thank you for that video and I'm very glad you got to meet Joe Esposito and he's glad he got to meet Elvis and I'm glad I got to see it all. Is he there may be something to this but I feel like Kindred Spirits with certain people not just because somebody says they're Stars but because I know even in my own personal life when I need to start they may not be famous but they are stars in my eyes just didn't make it to the Silver Screen that's all and the fact that you s e e m part of this dynamic north of it has to make you a kindred spirit and part of that same magic so you mr. John R yourself to someone o f a star yourself
Been watching lots of interviews lately during lockdown trying to understand Elvis' life. This interview has left me with the best feeling, Elvis enjoyed his life, family and close friendships.
Me too I was 10 when he passed. I will never forget I was at my grandma's house and my grandma yelled ooooooo my goddd. I ran in the living room where her console tv was and it said the king Elvis Presley has died..... I will never forget that
I was at my grandmother's house I was like preteens and the television was on and in the other room and I heard this voice I ran to the sun parlor where the television what's on and I saw this man singing Follow that dream I have never been the same ever sense!
Same here! I wasnt born until 1980 so Elvis had already passed away. My mom loves Elvis and I grew up watching his movies with her. I have watched several documentaries about him from different points of view as well as interviews. It has really been great getting to see his story through others eyes.
@@crystalfarmer4074 I was only 5, my Dad was a big fan, one of my sisters also played his music continually and we shared a bedroom, I think subconsciously I know most of the words.. Its only now I've been interested in the person. I've read so many books by his entourage. What's fascinating are the different views and experiences each person had with him. I feel the people that knew him before his draft into the army and had the privilege of watching his rise from nothing. l particularly loved Lamar Fikes book and Billy Smith his cousin is so down to earth. Watching him on 'Memphis kid 'you tube gives you some idea of Elvis' sense of humour. I cannot wait visit Graceland sometime soon 🕺👑
i think elvis found a true friend in joe ,i like how attentive he was with them at there wedding and speaking of elvises true feelings for hispriscilla ,he really loved her and joe saw that,good friend toknow those intimate feelings of a man
My favorite part of what I've heard from everyone when they first met elvis was how he'd introduce himself with," hi I'm elvis presley", just love that he was such a really nice southern boy till the end and so humble
Elvis was such a good human being. The world now should take a really good look at how Elvis treated his fellow man. Elvis Gave so much of himself . He helped even people he didn't know . God Bless Elvis . RlP Elvis You certainly DISSERVE IT. You are loved by millions..
Elvis was a sweet sweet Southern Soul he was anointed by God just like God anointed King David everybody loved him he brought the world together with his music his emotions and feelings and it was all great TCB Elvis was ahead of his time
@@frankmiranda5759 thank you so much for you comment. I loved it. Half a cup of mule piss. That is a good one never heard that before but I'm gonna use it. For sure. I ain't never heard such garbage. That they call music now days. Can't listen to it. Give me elvis. Forever pure. Natural. No put on. No trying to show off just acts natural. And pure emotion when he sings he owns every song he sings. Well he owns that stage when he walks across it. Also his band we must include them cuz they are all right on time and don't miss a beat. For the tigerman. He can move his little finger and the fans go crazy. He is so so so loved by this big old world. Ain't never been anyone that did what he did. And he had it all but he shared what he had so so so good hearted. God blessed soul. TCB
Vicki….📖 2 Timothy 3:5 “”Having a Form of godliness, but denying the Power thereof”” Being anointed means nothing, if a person disobeys the Lord God. Many are called, however few are chosen. It’s ‘surrender to the Lord Jesus’ that frees a person. ✝️🧎🏽🙏🧎🏻♀️ Repentance=about face
After all these years, Elvis is still remembered and loved by billions, I know his music helped me when I went through some pretty rough times in my life. Thank you Elvis, I will always love and respect you!!! GOD is with you
@@karendalsadik7119 23rd November 2016 - he had been suffering from dementia for a year. Friends and family said he thought Elvis was still alive and that he was still his Road Manager.
He had it all, but what always comes through is his humbleness. Always well mannered and diplomatic in regards to the music industry. So sad he passed so young RIP
So sad his daughter left so soon and try as she may she had too few happy times. Lisa Marie I hope you have happiness and peace that you couldn’t find on this earth. For you have left the veil of tears of this human existence from this moment to eternity only joy, peace and love for you! CS
I love elvis so much I feel so sad for him his BEUTIFUL mother passed away so young she was and him as well he was a gourgous looking man and that coming from a straight man he's the only man in earth I say that of god bless him !!!!
Elvis will always be the best and remembered forever. How could anyone forget someone who have so much to the world. Memories from a man who loved his fans so much. His music, movies, charisma, good looks, smile, his laughter, and even just listening to him talk. 😊😉 In my opinion the greatest entertainer there ever was, is, or will be. Nobody will ever take his place in our hearts as it should be!!!???
No, Elvis was and still is the greatest man that every lived in the music world, but he was also was human and made mistakes just like everybody else, but the charity work he did was outstanding and a lot of it was never known.
It is lovely to hear positive reports of the wedding and Elvis cutting the rose for Pricilla. And to hear they were happy and in love. A 20 carat diamond weddingcring! I'd love to see it. I wonder what happened to it? Also lovely to hear about Elvis and Pricilla as parents. This whole thing shows Elvis the human, with friends, family and human failings.
Elvis was a very generous talented man who I loved so much. I wish he had lived longer but I feel he is with God in Heaven. His music will last for a long time and there will never be another one like him.
Elvis Presley should not even have gotten drafted in the army, because he was the only child and son in the family. I don't know, if there was such a law back then. Today, it would have been against the law. I wanted to say so in a long time. As far as Joe Esposito, I don't know.
He died the day before he was to come to Portland, ME, to which I had tickets. I finally was going to see him in the flesh. Devastated but He’s still the only celebrity I wanted to meet. I was 17 then and 60 now. He had everything, looks, charm, humbleness, generous, etc
Adore by so many fans and I’m one of them his music will never be forgotten especially being so humble like he was may he rest in peace and may God Bless the rest of the family left behind.
Noone will ever top Elvis. He had a voice of gold and a great sense of humor. Elvis lived life to the fullest. I am still listening to Elvis in 2022 because Elvis is simply the best entertainer of all time!
Christina Halpin ...thanks Joe what wonderful explanation and what wonderful memories you've shared with us. It makes me feel very close to the special person we call "Elvis". Thankyou again. Hard to get over! 💕
Joe had to balance his friendship/loyalty with his buddy Elvis with his loyalty to The Colonel, which must've taken quite a bit of finesse . He really did a great job. I wish I had the chance to meet him.
TBH, Joe's Loyalty always was with Elvis not the Colonel. Joe's job was right hand man to Elvis, close friend and Road Manager. He was the go-between between Colonel Parker and Elvis because Elvis did not want anything to do with the business side of things, so Joe would get messages from the Colonel about the business, bookings and so on, he'd pass them on to Elvis and Elvis would give him messages to pass back to the Colonel. Charlie Hodge once revealed that Elvis felt there were only five people around him that he could absolutely trust, Joe, Charlie, Billy, Geller & Jerry and I think it was proven to be a good call on his part since there have been a fair few others before and after Elvis' death (including Priscilla Presley) who's made money from their association with him and not given a sh*t if it was good stuff or bad stuff being revealed. For instance Joe only wrote books and sold his stuff because of his first wife's Cancer treatment cost the earth, but whatever he had to say or write it was always with love. Several of the others not so much, and again that includes Priscilla Presley.
@@Della624 Why did you need to mention about Cilla Elvis was happy with her! Everyone has made money from Elvis in a way why single her out! Just remember Elvis estate would have gone to the dogs if she had only talked a good talk. She made it happen with her being the trustee with this being the most tangible reason to keep GL from being sold.
An excellent insight into Elvis and those around him, thank you. E left us well early and god knows the world is a little bit the poorer due to his passing, after watching this I take some comfort in knowing he lived a full life as best he could in the time he had. An amazing man in every aspect, he is the King with no contenders for the title. EP....TCB.
Thanks for this Pub60 - Yes he lived his life to the fullest and a bit more. Not knowing where the road would end. However, loving what he did most, being in front of a sold-out fan crowd. A little over 43 years after his passing he still attracts people, connecting millions over the World.
I have to agree with Joe. The 68 special was the best Elvis ever looked. Especially in the all leather outfit. He was smart not to make it a Christmas special. I guarantee that show is part of the reason he could fill up the seats in Vegas for years to come. He could sell records, because of that voice, but his looks and charisma are what put people in the seats at his shows. He had both during that special.
Someone asked Priscilla in an interview, had Elvis lived, what would he be doing and she said he would be singing gospel music because he loved gospel music the most. RIP Elvis 🍃💜🍃✝️🍃🕊🍃
Joe was a cool dude. I grew up with Elvis. I was only 8 or 9 when he came back from the army. My mom was two years older than Elvis and a really big fan. As the years went by we talked about him as if he were a family member. There is only one Elvis. I wonder what would have happened if his twin Jessie had lived. Life is interesting. Great video. How did I miss seeing this before??
So great Elvis.Joe was a good friend.But Elvis was so generouses with her friend. Elvis was so good man good heart.He was a greatest forever.God bless Elvis and Joe all the guys of memphis mafia in heaven.
I love elvis's voice so relaxing & soothing especially his gospel songs. How Great tho art & Bridge over trouble waters & etc. He was the best artist ever. I also love to hear him sing shep I love that song. He was so honest & never forgot where he came from. He loved all kinds of music & people no matter what the color he was a true people person. Such a great man & individual.
He did love karate, probably because of his getting picked on for being different, they used to call him “side burns” in HS. So the self defense skills were useful, but he implemented the moves into his on stage performance along with a karate type costume making it easier to move freely. Creating that Elvis “look” by adding a belt, fringe, tassels and a cape- usually with American Eagle on it. 😉
@@stj971 I bet you hear that from the same people who also said he died of a drug overdose. He was a black belt. His instructor, Hank Slomanski, was known for never giving out black belts to anyone who didn't earn it.
Amen ... I would like to share a true story with you. At a concert, some girls had a banner they were holding up and it said, “Elvis is the King”... He stopped singing and asked what it said and he told them he appreciated it and loved them for it, but to him, Jesus Christ is the only true King, he was just an entertainer. 🍃💜🍃✝️🍃🕊🍃
Elvis had a call from God on his life. He knew the power he had. No man ever looked as good, sang as good, or had a heart like his. No one ever had the charisma that he had, and I think Elvis got tired of being Elvis, and God took him out as an act of mercy. He was tired. Though he was only 42 when he died, he had lived a thousand lives.
📖 2 TIMOTHY 3:5-7 People always look at the appearance of others, however GOD sees the very heart of mankind. SIN destroys, everyone Reaps what they sow. Elvis, struggled to find the peace of GOD, as he chose a secular lifestyle,and the VOID he had in later years began to show. Obedience-draws us close to the Lord. Disobedience-separates us from the Love of God.
I think the same , moses, he was very tired and wanted some rest, he left his music and his incredible voice to us for eternity, so that we will never forget him because he was the only one! Greetings from argentina🌈📀💒💝
I second the notion and I hope Elvis and the love of my life are and I'm sure there if I had an imagination their faces would be superimposed in the sky watching out for me all the people they loved and Carlo loved me I felt the Most Blessed of all to have loved one from which would be Elvis one up close and personal which is Carlo my Italian Prince I remember in Love Me Tender how is the end of the movie although they had Elvis die they superimposed him up in the sky looking down and watching for everyone that he loved and that's what made me think of that
The Col. Tom Parker got all of the royalties from the concert tee shirts, programs and all souvenirs from everything with Elvis’ likeness. If that is correct than Parker pulled The Biggest Ripoff in the history of rock!! It is so good to hear Joe’s memories of all his years with Elvis.This is a treasure!
I was ten years old sitting on the steps at my grandmother's, and I heard it on the radio. That's when I actually started to learn all about him, and how amazing he truly was....
Absolutely true Elvis was forever humble kind giving and the most precious person God ever gave to us our perfect kind loving and precious person We will always love and Remember uou Elvis you should be on the wall of Fame
I really enjoyed over all this interview. I agree with Joe that the 68 Comeback Special was when Elvis looked the best he ever did. Another thing I noticed is on his wedding day he looked very handsome. He had Charisma he had Talent. And I capitalized those two words because there's not too many people who have that combination today. He was generous and giving. I did feel that Joe lost over a lot of the areas of the dark side of Elvis. But even the news reports did at that time because everyone tried to cover it up. Unfortunately his addiction to prescription pills was his end. It made the people closest to him crazy because they could do nothing to help him. Priscilla loved him and I think he loved her too. But unfortunately he didn't see Other Woman as a downfall. And no one could control his drug use. Things were spiraling. However because of his death when it happened it made him bigger and bigger and bigger. People loved him while he was alive but even fans who never were born love Elvis. I was just about 13 when he died and I remember hearing the news. It made me very sad. But to see what Elvis has grown to today is phenomenal. I don't believe they'll be another Elvis ever.
I cried at 7yrs.old when he died, and I cried again at 52 yrs old watching this tonight. MAY God's perfect peace be with his grandchildren, his old friends, and all who loved him.
We met Joe Esposito in Las Vegas and we can honestly say, he was a true kind gentleman. He invited both my husband and I back to his hotel where we had a drink and sat and talked. Think people surround themselves with like minded people.
So good to experience the man from Chicago telling it like it was. This is the best interview I've seen. Thank you Robert van Beek; I always thought of Elvis as a charismatic person and am so glad to find out that he was. I was 8 when Elvis was discovered and I fell head over heels in love with him, so this interview took me back to the beginning.
We all remember where we were upon hearing of his death. That is how special Elvis was to each person. From the things I have read and seen about his life at this time, it meant Elvis was not happy. He wanted to change. For a regular person it's difficult,for Elvis it would have been harder, but still doable. My friend gave me a book about death,about what happens when we die,it's amazing,the beauty, the freedom as we go home to heaven. Elvis believed in God. I like to think that Elvis, met Jesus,his deceased family members,and he didn't want to come back, he was free, he was home. I also like to think how greatful I am that God allowed us to know Elvis,the very special person that he is. The kind loving, humble son and friend. I don't think I have ever read anything bad about him, ever. Elvis would want everyone to know he is safe,he's home and not to worry. Time is the only separation we all have between us. Eventually we will all meet again. May your soul rest in peace Elvis. Y ou are with Jesus, your Lord, savior and king.,and their is no better place to be. With love from all of us. Xxx
This was very good. Joe did very well. I cried when he did. My grandparents took me to Graceland when I was 14. It was 1995 and you had cassette tape tour with headphones then. When we got to the meditation garden where the tape spoke of Elvis’ death, my sister and I both cried. We couldn’t take photos inside so the only photos of us at Graceland were of us crying 😅 I was born 4 years after he died. Found his records in my grandparents basement and it was all over for me. Lifelong fan. Still teary from that line in the song in this video, “I’m gonna cry like Memphis when they heard the King was gone.” Wow that line really gets me.
I have been an Elvis Presley fan since I was five years old ,and I don't know too much about his personal life , I'm glad to hear and learn about his personal life and how he becomes a super star It's very interesting to learn about him and his life.
Elvis would be angry if someone called him "The King"! 😂 I remember when someone yelled out "Elvis The King" during one of his concerts, he said "NO, THERE IS ONLY 1 KING AND HIS NAME IS JESUS CHRIST, I'm just a man who sings". Facts!😂 Got to love this singing man! 🥰😘😍❤
💗that! 💜
Debbie Autry-Skubik amen
I wish I could have seen him in concert but I was only 7 when he died! I remember that day like it was yesterday and even back then I loved Elvis, then, now, and forever 💙...
Elvis didn't look like a guy who would've said that to a fan, calling him the King. His religious statement was not to put a crown a fan would give him, during a concert, on his head.
The next best thing after seeing Elvis life in concert for real, is a holographic Elvis in concert. The holographic technic will be so good in a few years, it's possible they can copy every life performance Elvis did and the holographic Elvis on stage will look like the real thing
No one on the planet was, is, or ever will be as beautiful
as he was.
He was gorgeous. Lisa Marie looks like her daddy.
That's the gospel truth.
What about Flavor Flav ?

@@richardeidemiller6739 hahaha
Elvis also had one of the most incredible gospel voices ever
There are many gospel male singers today….and when they sing 🎵 people surrender their Lives to Christ Jesus ✝️😢🧎🏽🙏🧎🏻♀️
These Gospel singers are truly anointed by the Holy Spirit🕊
Look up Christian male singers…there are many.
@@FLIPPER1439 ll
YES! Elvis never read the bible, which was his greatest contribution to society!
@@FLIPPER1439 Look up Pastor Bob Joyce ! Get ready for the surprise of your life !
Several stories that have been told mentioned how Elvis read all the time and the books he read was religious books. He was really interested in the different religions, confused about a lot of things but he continued to read. Even the women he dated told of how he read the Bible or books like that all the time!! He knew religion and Christ!! If his followers held signs that said “King” he would tell them there was only one King and that was Jesus Christ! So no one can say if he did or didn’t, only Elvis himself knew! I believe he did because he was so kind to people and never hurt anyone!
Joe is human and humans make mistakes but Joe has class and speaks the nicest about Elvis. And the fact that Priscilla and Jerry Schilling went to his funeral speaks volumes.
Ahhahahahah Priscilla 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah I just said he didn’t know. Gladys would have told him all about it if she had been alive. She was very good at telling stuff. Elvis didn’t tell all the old stories cause he showed you around his house.
What I’ve heard from some people Elvis did not want to get married. From a couple MM and another one was his cook and she said Elvis was upset because he did not want to get married. So why make it look like he was madly in love with Priscilla??????? The only thing that came good from the marriage was his daughter Lisa Marie. Lisa was 😢he love of his life. The marriage lasted 6 years and Pricilla wanted a divorce. 😮😮😮😮
@@user-ge8lt1mw9oNot true at all. He and Priscilla were close to the end. She was 14 (he was 24)when they started dating. She grew up and wanted her own life. That was all.
@@juliedewyer1366 Explain to me one thing: Years and years before marriage, Elvis did not hide his life style or his womanizing. Why in Gods name did she want to marry him????? And the ogger how he was after marriage, (so she claimed) why in the hell would she want to be buried at Graceland next to this man?????
How can anybody be that good looking and that talented? Never again. Nobody will ever top that
Maybe. Jessie

It's still haunting in a way how talented Elvis was. Few will be frozen in time forever young. President Kennedy, Elvis, Diana, JFK Jr, MJ. Prince.
Will never be another singer like Elvis
My God Elvis is so good looking.... O my God.... Hi is Angel.... The most beautiful men on on earth.... Hi is always in my heart.... Forever... 💖
RIP Elivis you have changed the world
Miss you ! I was a youngster when you started singing on the radio. Listened to you &=was so excited when you were on the Ed Sullivan show . Of course, my dad didn’t like me watching you on TV because you “ wiggled your hips”. No one could not stop me from loving your music. Still do have all your music, from 45’s to 78, & DVD . I listen very often . Love ❤️ you Elvis the pelvis.
I’m confused, I thought Charlie hodge was his stage manager. Can you clarify please. Great documentary loved it!
Every celebrity could learn a lot from how Elvis was so humble caring loving never let his fame turn who he was such a gift from god god bless his soul
Oh my God I was a 12 year old girl at the time Elvis passed
I'm 54 now ...I'm still devastated,
I'll always love this special man
😪❤
Amazing we are the same age I grew up listening to him my parents both were fans of him.I can remember that day in 1977 like it was yesterday radio was playing and the song just stopped and on came a man's voice telling us Elvis was dead I cried.with the loss of his Grandson Benjamin Im praying for strength for Lisa I can't imagine her pain.
I was 2 when Elvis passed. My parents were fans too. The first time I went to Graceland I was about 4 years old and went with my parents and brother. I went back in 2002 and was just there this month from 8/15 - 8/18. I will go back again next August too. I'm in the suburbs of Chicago so it's about a 9 hour drive.
I was 12 too
I was 8 years old and I cried when I heard Elvis passed away! I watched all his movies for days following his passing,all the channels were playing them
I was 14 when he passed away. I loved watching his movies and his music! I remember asking my mom if I could stay up past my bedtime anytime one of his movies came out on tv. She always did. I saw the new Elvis movie with Austin Butler. I loved it!
I saw him in person when he was fairly young. He was the most beautiful man I've ever seen.
So true 🙋♀️
Elvis was before my time, but I always thought he was the most beautiful gorgeous man. Lucky you that you saw him in person! 🌸
Wow
I’m so envious ❤
I understand why Elvis chose Joe Esposito to be part of his inner circle. This presentation was very well done. I was disgusted by some of the material that came out by the so called “Memphis Mafia”. Even as older men, they were vulgar, disrespectful, and sounded like leftover groupies. Great job, Mr. Esposito! You represented Elvis well.
Carolyn Twiss lots of people took advantage of the fame & fortune. That was so sad.
The so called memphis mafia, weren't worthy of being called friends, they were simply scum of the earth that were there for what they could get out of Elvis, Joe not included in this. He was true to the end x
Joe sued Elvis over a failed business venture.
@@westnblu that is business.
@@westnblu No he didn't.
Elvis, always and forever! He had a heart of gold, a genuine concern for others, and the love of his family endured. I just finished reading the book, “Destined to Die Young”. It makes his real life very real and you will understand exactly why!!
I read this book too! Now I am reading "Child Bride" Priscilla Presley". . I wish he and Lisa Marie were still here. Wish we could have heard them sing together!!❤❤😊😊
His statement "It's room for everybody" is so true and more celebrities need to have this attitude - It's clear Elvis wanted to see everybody WIN!
@Tammy Lamb LOL!
⚡️⚡️TCB ⚡️⚡️GodBless
@@darrencarrie9325 what? 🤷♂️🤔😂
You misquoted him. “It’s room for everybody” doesn’t make sense. “There’s room for everybody” does though. 🤔
@@livewithnick you're right
Elvis Presley coolist dude ever!!
Dude?
I remember years later I saw a movie Bye Bye Birdie and I was sitting in the theater after Bye Bye Birdie and I was thinking man I wish these two should get together I actually said an actual prayer if they would meet and do a movie together I love them both and later I found out Viva Las Vegas came to be!!! and it was almost like my prayers were answered and I found they'd fell in look after they make the movie and there were something so satisfactory to me don't know why, but it did satisfy me. And I realized we must be all interconnected we must B all kind of interconnected!!!
Elvis Presley is celebrated and loved like no other person in modern times each and every year on his memorial day. It really is quite something incredibly special. This documentary brings home the influence he truly had and has today on our world. Long live the King of Rock & Roll ~ Elvis Aaron Presley
He's also hated like no other celebrity ever. For reasons I can only guess.

Where have you been?
You never saw the TV. specials about Elvis the supposed junkie? You never heard the false rumors about him? You never saw the movie "Elvis"? Are you serious?
Elvis has been the target of more character assassination than any other entertainer in history, by far. He didn't die from drug abuse. The poor man died young from natural causes.
@@lorichet I disagree. All the drugs he had in his system was too much strain on his body he was a ticking timebomb and his heart was enlarged and failed in the end. But yes all those false things said about him affected him deeply as well and took toll on his failing poor health with the drug abuse of meds.
I've always loved Joe Esposito. He was so loyal to Elvis in life, as well as post-death. EP was blessed to have had him as a friend. There will never be another Elvis and may God rest his soul. 🙏🙏💖💖🎯🎯😎😎🎸🎸🎶🎶

Jo Esposito was a True Loyal Friend & Brother to Elvis. What a Friend you have in Joe, Elvis God Bless !
I just met Jo in a Restaurant here in Pryor, Oklahoma !
Nice Man .
@@Seek_Him he died 2016 ...
Joe, you are a really good friend, brother, father and son..♥️. Every time you talk about Elvis, you cry 😢! Only family members or real friends do that! Now you're back with your best friend 😍
Besides his talent and music his smile and charisma is as unique, even today! P.s. Fantastic documentary!
Elvis was such a beautiful man. As a kid, I couldn't wait to get older, grow my hair long, dye it jet-black, and style it like he did. Unfortunately, when it came to hair, I lost the genetic lottery. It's just as well, I suppose, as Elvis' looks and charisma were unparallelled. He was an original, never to be repeated. The fact that new generations continue to listen to his music and swoon over his good looks says a lot.
Part of Joe's story should have been in EP's m E on Tour 1972 by MGM....!!!!
That good...
@@user-rr2eo7gb7z I’m noticing how Esposito’s side of story is very optimistic. This is the 1st time I’ve heard Colonial Tom referred to in a nice respectful manner. This is an important part of the Elvis Story and I would recommend it to all interested in The Elvis Presley Story.
Elvis belonged to everyone and yet no one in particular. He was a Phenomenon.
LINDA TAYLOR WAS SPOT ON!
ELVIS WAS UNIVERSAL, HE
BELONGED TO THE WORLD!
ELVIS WAS THE KIND OF ENTERTAINER, WHO COULD TAKE
YOU BACK IN TIME. HE MAY HAVE LIVED IN THE FUTURE, BUT
HE ACTUALLY THOUGHT AND
LIVED IN THE PAST! PERHAPS
IF HIS TWIN BROTHER HAD
SURVIVED AT BIRTH, I BELIEVE
HIS LIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN
DIFFERENT!

ELVIS PRESLEY still the main attraction on u tube. It's been 43 years since his mysterious death a still everybody still. Talking. Elvis presley always wondered if his fans would forget him after he was gone. Elvis presley now knows probably looking through the glassy sea ,,,,, from Heaven.
The only person in the world that is still loved so much that they are honored with a annual candlelight vigil for 43 years with thousands in attendance. Yes Elvis, we remember❣️❣️
There was and still and always is only One Elvis He was a gift from God.
He was one of a kind alright
he was loved ❤️🙏
46 and going, I was there for the first time 🎉
The mere mention of his name still gets a lot of hearts beating. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Elvis had meaning to his songs. His records will go in forever

Joe was a really good friend to elvis. He had an exciting life with elvis. We would've loved to had just one hour with him joe was very blessed to be there with him
Elvis was adorable!!! God's gift for sure!
He only had sex with under aged girls
@@PyprSMASH the king didn't like leftovers or sloppy seconds.
@@PyprSMASH You don't know your facts child.
Until you do, you make yourself sound foolish.
Every woman he was with was an adult except for the
one he wanted for his wife. He married her when she was
21.
Ann Margaret, Anita Wood, Linda Thompson, Ginger Alden,
June Juanico, Natalie Wood, Dixie Locke all were adults and
girlfriends.
Richard Eidemiller Lol cool soap box on Elvis ... who couldn’t run his career so the people who did stole from him and yes.. it was under aged girls he said he wanted to train Priscilla ... pay attention.
@@PyprSMASH I have paid attention before you were born.
Go back to bed child, you sound ignorant.
I am a 38-year-old woman who happens to be blind. I think that Joe Esposito‘s voice is so genuine, soothing, and extremely sexy! I have always thought that since I have learned more about the Memphis mafia and since I knew who Joe Esposito was, since I was very young. He seems like he was a very humble and modest guy. I can definitely understand why Elvis would be closer to him than most of the rest of the Memphis mafia.
LOL!
@Saphire Blue The "He" is a 100% "She"
Elvis had common sense in plenty. Wish he had looked after his health. So many people would have loved to grow old with Elvis.
Look up pastor bob Joyce. You will be surprised
The guy was really one of a kind. Its amazing actually. Even more so when u think about it.. I mean my god man he was beautiful and insanely talented.. its unreal. I love it..
Does anyone know the name of the blues song playing in the background on guitar when Joe first starts talking? I can't remember the name of it but love it so much....thank you.

Mr. John Llewellyn I believe that I saw this about a month ago and I remember I could almost here I kind of nervous excitement in your voice when you talked to Jo and I remember feeling that way when I met Shirley MacLaine it is an exciting and awesome Starstruck kind of thing even if it is the friend of the person is like you touch this person and that person touched that person excetera excetera LOL LOL thank you for that video and I'm very glad you got to meet Joe Esposito and he's glad he got to meet Elvis and I'm glad I got to see it all. Is he there may be something to this but I feel like Kindred Spirits with certain people not just because somebody says they're Stars but because I know even in my own personal life when I need to start they may not be famous but they are stars in my eyes just didn't make it to the Silver Screen that's all and the fact that you s e e m part of this dynamic north of it has to make you a kindred spirit and part of that same magic so you mr.

Elvis was a phenomena . No one will ever touch him.
Carolyn Nigro Fact!
Never be another elvis Presley
He is the king of all time
Carolyn Nigro have you seen his grandson 🤯🤯🤯
Michael Jackson
Been watching lots of interviews lately during lockdown trying to understand Elvis' life. This interview has left me with the best feeling, Elvis enjoyed his life, family and close friendships.
Me too I was 10 when he passed. I will never forget I was at my grandma's house and my grandma yelled ooooooo my goddd. I ran in the living room where her console tv was and it said the king Elvis Presley has died..... I will never forget that
Vm
I was at my grandmother's house I was like preteens and the television was on and in the other room and I heard this voice I ran to the sun parlor where the television what's on and I saw this man singing Follow that dream I have never been the same ever sense!
Same here! I wasnt born until 1980 so Elvis had already passed away. My mom loves Elvis and I grew up watching his movies with her. I have watched several documentaries about him from different points of view as well as interviews. It has really been great getting to see his story through others eyes.
@@crystalfarmer4074 I was only 5, my Dad was a big fan, one of my sisters also played his music continually and we shared a bedroom, I think subconsciously I know most of the words.. Its only now I've been interested in the person.
I've read so many books by his entourage. What's fascinating are the different views and experiences each person had with him. I feel the people that knew him before his draft into the army and had the privilege of watching his rise from nothing. l particularly loved Lamar Fikes book and Billy Smith his cousin is so down to earth. Watching him on 'Memphis kid 'you tube gives you some idea of Elvis' sense of humour.
I cannot wait visit Graceland sometime soon 🕺👑
No one but no one will ever touch him I will love him always
We miss you Elvis I was just young but I always loved your music and always will God took a angel home
i think elvis found a true friend in joe ,i like how attentive he was with them at there wedding and speaking of elvises true feelings for hispriscilla ,he really loved her and joe saw that,good friend toknow those intimate feelings of a man
I was stationed at Ray barracks..they still had his barracks up at the back corner of post...loved it there!!!
Did you ever see ELVIS! how fascinating! Can you tell us more?
I wish I could have met him in person, I love him so much.
Me,too. 🎶🎤💞💗
My favorite part of what I've heard from everyone when they first met elvis was how he'd introduce himself with," hi I'm elvis presley", just love that he was such a really nice southern boy till the end and so humble
Elvis was such a good human being. The world now should take a really good look at how Elvis treated his fellow man. Elvis Gave so much of himself . He helped even people he didn't know . God Bless Elvis . RlP Elvis You certainly DISSERVE IT. You are loved by millions..
Elvis was a sweet sweet Southern Soul he was anointed by God just like God anointed King David everybody loved him he brought the world together with his music his emotions and feelings and it was all great TCB Elvis was ahead of his time
So right . In my personal opinion they ain't worth a DAMN today and the music ain't worth a 1/2 a cup of hot MULE PISS ........
@@frankmiranda5759 thank you so much for you comment. I loved it. Half a cup of mule piss. That is a good one never heard that before but I'm gonna use it. For sure. I ain't never heard such garbage. That they call music now days. Can't listen to it. Give me elvis. Forever pure. Natural. No put on. No trying to show off just acts natural. And pure emotion when he sings he owns every song he sings. Well he owns that stage when he walks across it. Also his band we must include them cuz they are all right on time and don't miss a beat. For the tigerman. He can move his little finger and the fans go crazy. He is so so so loved by this big old world. Ain't never been anyone that did what he did. And he had it all but he shared what he had so so so good hearted. God blessed soul. TCB

When did J.E. pass away?
@@karendalsadik7119 23rd November 2016 - he had been suffering from dementia for a year. Friends and family said he thought Elvis was still alive and that he was still his Road Manager.
@@Della624 that's so sad 😔 dementia is horrible for all involved
He had it all, but what always comes through is his humbleness. Always well mannered and diplomatic in regards to the music industry. So sad he passed so young RIP
So sad his daughter left so soon and try as she may she had too few happy times. Lisa Marie I hope you have happiness and peace that you couldn’t find on this earth. For you have left the veil of tears of this human existence from this moment to eternity only joy, peace and love for you! CS
His lifestyle is the reason his life was cut short.
How blessed to have a friend such as Joe , loyal to the end
I love elvis so much I feel so sad for him his BEUTIFUL mother passed away so young she was and him as well he was a gourgous looking man and that coming from a straight man he's the only man in earth I say that of god bless him !!!!
Can not believe how great this is..you were a good friend; thank god for YOU.
Elvis will always be the best and remembered forever. How could anyone forget someone who have so much to the world. Memories from a man who loved his fans so much. His music, movies, charisma, good looks, smile, his laughter, and even just listening to him talk. 😊😉 In my opinion the greatest entertainer there ever was, is, or will be. Nobody will ever take his place in our hearts as it should be!!!???
Amen!
His generous heart
I totally agree with you. I love hearing him talk too.
micheal jackson is the greatest entertainer
No, Elvis was and still is the greatest man that every lived in the music world, but he was also was human and made mistakes just like everybody else, but the charity work he did was outstanding and a lot of it was never known.
If he only Elvis knew what all goes on at Graceland now and how many people visit his mansion yearly.
Amen
I’m sure he’s watching from heaven with a smile on his face
@@lolaluxdeville2042 He?
It is lovely to hear positive reports of the wedding and Elvis cutting the rose for Pricilla. And to hear they were happy and in love. A 20 carat diamond weddingcring! I'd love to see it. I wonder what happened to it? Also lovely to hear about Elvis and Pricilla as parents. This whole thing shows Elvis the human, with friends, family and human failings.
It was actually a 3 CT ring.
Elvis was a very generous talented man who I loved so much. I wish he had lived longer but I feel he is with God in Heaven. His music will last for a long time and there will never be another one like him.
Great interview showing Elvis had a human side and cared about others. Love this video❤
Elvis was such a beautiful person. Omg.
He was a drug addict abusive husband, you cheated, and everybody knew this. He was not a beautiful person give me a break
Adam Reck
What a jealous, mean, insensitive troll you are.
Buggar off.
Elvis Presley should not even have gotten drafted in the army, because he was the only child and son in the family. I don't know, if there was such a law back then. Today, it would have been against the law. I wanted to say so in a long time. As far as Joe Esposito, I don't know.
Adam Reck stop being a jerk and stop spreading false accusations that you don’t know or have any proof of
@@batboy020876 well, aren't you opinionated and saying shit you know nothing about. Stop being an asshole
Elvis is too good for this world, I still remember the moment I heard his passing, it’s as if a family member died, that void will always be there
He died the day before he was to come to Portland, ME, to which I had tickets. I finally was going to see him in the flesh. Devastated but He’s still the only celebrity I wanted to meet. I was 17 then and 60 now. He had everything, looks, charm, humbleness, generous, etc
I just LOVED & STILL DO LOVE ELVIS, HIS SONG'S ARE ALL GREAT
We will never have another one like him
I forge t he. Had. S twin. Ntothet😢
May he rest in peace ♥️
Yes same here
Adore by so many fans and I’m one of them his music will never be forgotten especially being so humble like he was may he rest in peace and may God Bless the rest of the family left behind.
Elvis is a one of a kind man nobody can replace him no matter what they do to copy him
Noone will ever top Elvis. He had a voice of gold and a great sense of humor. Elvis lived life to the fullest. I am still listening to Elvis in 2022 because Elvis is simply the best entertainer of all time!
Superbly done

Joe had to balance his friendship/loyalty with his buddy Elvis with his loyalty to The Colonel, which must've taken quite a bit of finesse . He really did a great job. I wish I had the chance to meet him.
TBH, Joe's Loyalty always was with Elvis not the Colonel. Joe's job was right hand man to Elvis, close friend and Road Manager. He was the go-between between Colonel Parker and Elvis because Elvis did not want anything to do with the business side of things, so Joe would get messages from the Colonel about the business, bookings and so on, he'd pass them on to Elvis and Elvis would give him messages to pass back to the Colonel. Charlie Hodge once revealed that Elvis felt there were only five people around him that he could absolutely trust, Joe, Charlie, Billy, Geller & Jerry and I think it was proven to be a good call on his part since there have been a fair few others before and after Elvis' death (including Priscilla Presley) who's made money from their association with him and not given a sh*t if it was good stuff or bad stuff being revealed. For instance Joe only wrote books and sold his stuff because of his first wife's Cancer treatment cost the earth, but whatever he had to say or write it was always with love. Several of the others not so much, and again that includes Priscilla Presley.
I met him, he was so handsome. But, his eyes where mesmerizing!
@@Della624 Why did you need to mention about Cilla Elvis was happy with her! Everyone has made money from Elvis in a way why single her out! Just remember Elvis estate would have gone to the dogs if she had only talked a good talk. She made it happen with her being the trustee with this being the most tangible reason to keep GL from being sold.
An excellent insight into Elvis and those around him, thank you. E left us well early and god knows the world is a little bit the poorer due to his passing, after watching this I take some comfort in knowing he lived a full life as best he could in the time he had. An amazing man in every aspect, he is the King with no contenders for the title. EP....TCB.
Thanks for this Pub60 - Yes he lived his life to the fullest and a bit more. Not knowing where the road would end. However, loving what he did most, being in front of a sold-out fan crowd. A little over 43 years after his passing he still attracts people, connecting millions over the World.
Thank you so much for sharing your intimate memories of your dear friend Elvis ❤
What a fantasic documentary ! 💜💜🧡💛💛💙💙❤❤💛💛🧡💜💜
Joe was my grandmothers baby brother....RIP uncle Joe we love and miss you and your stories

He was a true friend
He seems so positive and upbeat I would have loved to have someone like that in my life.
⚡️⚡️TCB ⚡️⚡️GodBless Joe was Awesome human being much Love ❤️🙏
Elvis was so so shy and innocent he did all of this for his mama loved her so much
LOL!
Not quite, but what ever!
I have to agree with Joe. The 68 special was the best Elvis ever looked. Especially in the all leather outfit. He was smart not to make it a Christmas special. I guarantee that show is part of the reason he could fill up the seats in Vegas for years to come. He could sell records, because of that voice, but his looks and charisma are what put people in the seats at his shows. He had both during that special.
C'était SA vie, Elvis aimait ce qu'il faisait il aimait les gens ! Très bonne vidéo. The King pour toujours.

Joe was a cool dude. I grew up with Elvis. I was only 8 or 9 when he came back from the army. My mom was two years older than Elvis and a really big fan. As the years went by we talked about him as if he were a family member. There is only one Elvis. I wonder what would have happened if his twin Jessie had lived. Life is interesting. Great video. How did I miss seeing this before??
So great Elvis.Joe was a good friend.But Elvis was so generouses with her friend. Elvis was so good man good heart.He was a greatest forever.God bless Elvis and Joe all the guys of memphis mafia in heaven.
Thanks for this video, I cried when Joe said that Elvis in love with Priscilla, how sweet ❤️Rest In Peace Elvis 🙏
I love elvis's voice so relaxing & soothing especially his gospel songs. How Great tho art & Bridge over trouble waters & etc. He was the best artist ever. I also love to hear him sing shep I love that song. He was so honest & never forgot where he came from. He loved all kinds of music & people no matter what the color he was a true people person. Such a great man & individual.
Yes I am a great Elvis Presley fan , he was very generous. Always thinking of the poor even had performances to donate the proceeds to charity!
He did love karate, probably because of his getting picked on for being different, they used to call him “side burns” in HS. So the self defense skills were useful, but he implemented the moves into his on stage performance along with a karate type costume making it easier to move freely. Creating that Elvis “look” by adding a belt, fringe, tassels and a cape- usually with American Eagle on it. 😉
However, he was said not to be very good at it.
@@stj971
I bet you hear that from the same people who also said he died of a drug overdose.
He was a black belt. His instructor, Hank Slomanski, was known for never giving out black belts to anyone who didn't earn it.
Elvis was a idol to many people. , pick your idols carefully. As for me and my household we'll worship Jesus
Amen
Amen ... I would like to share a true story with you. At a concert, some girls had a banner they were holding up and it said,
“Elvis is the King”... He stopped singing and asked what it said and he told them
he appreciated it and loved them for it, but to him, Jesus Christ is the only true King, he was just an entertainer.
🍃💜🍃✝️🍃🕊🍃
👏🏻 AMEN.
📖 2 TIMOTHY 3:5
Elvis had a call from God on his life. He knew the power he had. No man ever looked as
good, sang as good, or had a heart like his. No one ever had the charisma that he had,
and I think Elvis got tired of being Elvis, and God took him out as an act of mercy. He
was tired. Though he was only 42 when he died, he had lived a thousand lives.
📖 2 TIMOTHY 3:5-7
People always look at the appearance of others, however GOD sees the very heart of mankind.
SIN destroys, everyone Reaps what they sow.
Elvis, struggled to find the peace of GOD, as he chose a secular lifestyle,and the VOID he had in later years began to show.
Obedience-draws us close to the Lord.
Disobedience-separates us from the Love of God.
Yes God loved the fact he slept with 1000 women. So god accepted him in heaven. Religion makes people insane.
I think the same , moses, he was very tired and wanted some rest, he left his music and his incredible voice to us for eternity, so that we will never forget him because he was the only one! Greetings from argentina🌈📀💒💝
Truly the KING.
He did not die alone. Jesus was with him taking him home.
I see Elvis chose his friends carefully he did good making Joe work for him. Joe great person
What a beautiful tribute to are beloved Elvis nearly all the Elvis gang have gone all together again rip to all party on up there sweet dreams xxxxxx
I second the notion and I hope Elvis and the love of my life are and I'm sure there if I had an imagination their faces would be superimposed in the sky watching out for me all the people they loved and Carlo loved me I felt the Most Blessed of all to have loved one from which would be Elvis one up close and personal which is Carlo my Italian Prince I remember in Love Me Tender how is the end of the movie although they had Elvis die they superimposed him up in the sky looking down and watching for everyone that he loved and that's what made me think of that
i'm 76- - Elvis was so good lookin, sang sexy, moved sexy and dressed great! just a good lookin guy
The Col. Tom Parker got all of the royalties from the concert tee shirts, programs and all souvenirs from everything with Elvis’ likeness. If that is correct than Parker pulled The Biggest Ripoff in the history of rock!! It is so good to hear Joe’s memories of all his years with Elvis.This is a treasure!
I was ten years old sitting on the steps at my grandmother's, and I heard it on the radio. That's when I actually started to learn all about him, and how amazing he truly was....
Absolutely true Elvis was forever humble kind giving and the most precious person God ever gave to us our perfect kind loving and precious person We will always love and Remember uou Elvis you should be on the wall of Fame
I really enjoyed over all this interview. I agree with Joe that the 68 Comeback Special was when Elvis looked the best he ever did. Another thing I noticed is on his wedding day he looked very handsome. He had Charisma he had Talent. And I capitalized those two words because there's not too many people who have that combination today. He was generous and giving. I did feel that Joe lost over a lot of the areas of the dark side of Elvis. But even the news reports did at that time because everyone tried to cover it up. Unfortunately his addiction to prescription pills was his end. It made the people closest to him crazy because they could do nothing to help him. Priscilla loved him and I think he loved her too. But unfortunately he didn't see Other Woman as a downfall. And no one could control his drug use. Things were spiraling. However because of his death when it happened it made him bigger and bigger and bigger. People loved him while he was alive but even fans who never were born love Elvis. I was just about 13 when he died and I remember hearing the news. It made me very sad. But to see what Elvis has grown to today is phenomenal. I don't believe they'll be another Elvis ever.
I hope some way some how Elvis is able to see now how much he was really loved and is missed by the world
I cried at 7yrs.old when he died, and I cried again at 52 yrs old watching this tonight. MAY God's perfect peace be with his grandchildren, his old friends, and all who loved him.
Thank you so much for doing this interview Joe!!!!
I cried when I watched this. Thank you for the happy memories of Elvis.
Thank you so much Robert I haven’t seen this one before with Diamond 💍 joe.
Love this man since I was very young child
We met Joe Esposito in Las Vegas and we can honestly say, he was a true kind gentleman. He invited both my husband and I back to his hotel where we had a drink and sat and talked. Think people surround themselves with like minded people.
Joe & Elvis together again with the Angels singing in the heavenly choir. 🙏🏾
What a lovely interview, it seems very sincere and very heartfelt.x
So good to experience the man from Chicago telling it like it was. This is the best interview I've seen. Thank you Robert van Beek; I always thought of Elvis as a charismatic person and am so glad to find out that he was. I was 8 when Elvis was discovered and I fell head over heels in love with him, so this interview took me back to the beginning.
yhii my 0000pl0pppppplll0l0p
I too was 8 and was also head over heels for him. Me and all my friends were in love with Elvis’s music and we thought he was so good looking.
Joe did an amazing job here.
I think the government drafted him to silence him because he was an influence on the youth. But I thank him for his service.
Thank you so much Robert I really appreciate your hard work.i really enjoyed this with Joe Esposito.
We all remember where we were upon hearing of his death. That is how special Elvis was to each person. From the things I have read and seen about his life at this time, it meant Elvis was not happy. He wanted to change. For a regular person it's difficult,for Elvis it would have been harder, but still doable. My friend gave me a book about death,about what happens when we die,it's amazing,the beauty, the freedom as we go home to heaven. Elvis believed in God. I like to think that Elvis, met Jesus,his deceased family members,and he didn't want to come back, he was free, he was home. I also like to think how greatful I am that God allowed us to know Elvis,the very special person that he is. The kind loving, humble son and friend. I don't think I have ever read anything bad about him, ever. Elvis would want everyone to know he is safe,he's home and not to worry. Time is the only separation we all have between us. Eventually we will all meet again. May your soul rest in peace Elvis. Y ou are with Jesus, your Lord, savior and king.,and their is no better place to be. With love from all of us. Xxx
This was very good. Joe did very well. I cried when he did. My grandparents took me to Graceland when I was 14. It was 1995 and you had cassette tape tour with headphones then. When we got to the meditation garden where the tape spoke of Elvis’ death, my sister and I both cried. We couldn’t take photos inside so the only photos of us at Graceland were of us crying 😅 I was born 4 years after he died. Found his records in my grandparents basement and it was all over for me. Lifelong fan. Still teary from that line in the song in this video, “I’m gonna cry like Memphis when they heard the King was gone.” Wow that line really gets me.
I have been an Elvis Presley fan since I was five years old ,and I don't know too much about his personal life , I'm glad to hear and learn about his personal life and how he becomes a super star
It's very interesting to learn about him and his life.
