2006 Rock-doc
Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family when he was 13 years old. His music career began there in 1954, recording at Sun Records with producer Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African-American music to a wider audience. Presley, on rhythm acoustic guitar, and accompanied by lead guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, was a pioneer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country music and rhythm and blues. In 1955, drummer D. J. Fontana joined to complete the lineup of Presley's classic quartet and RCA Victor acquired his contract in a deal arranged by Colonel Tom Parker, who would manage him for more than two decades. Presley's first RCA Victor single, "Heartbreak Hotel", was released in January 1956 and became a number-one hit in the United States. Within a year, RCA would sell ten million Presley singles. With a series of successful network television appearances and chart-topping records, Presley became the leading figure of the newly popular sound of rock and roll; though his performative style and promotion of the then-marginalized sound of African-Americans led to him being widely considered a threat to the moral well-being of the White American youth.
Having sold over 400 million records worldwide, Presley is recognized as the best-selling solo music artist of all time by Guinness World Records with sales estimated by various sources up to 500 million - 1 billion. He was commercially successful in many genres, including pop, country, rhythm & blues, adult contemporary, and gospel. Presley won three Grammy Awards, received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at age 36, and has been inducted into multiple music halls of fame. He holds several records, including the most RIAA-certified gold and platinum albums, the most albums charted on the Billboard 200, the most number-one albums by a solo artist on the UK Albums Chart, and the most number-one singles by any act on the UK Singles Chart. In 2018, Presley was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Presley holds the records for most songs charting in Billboard's top 40 and top 100. Presley's rankings for top ten and number-one hits vary depending on how the double-sided "Hound Dog/Don't Be Cruel" and "Don't/I Beg of You" singles, which precede the inception of Billboard's unified Hot 100 chart, are analyzed. According to Whitburn's analysis, Presley holds the record with 38, tying with Madonna; per Billboard's current assessment, he ranks second with 36. Whitburn and Billboard concur that the Beatles hold the record for most number-one hits with 20, and that Mariah Carey is second with 18. Whitburn has Presley also with 18, and thus tied for second; Billboard has him third with 17. Presley retains the record for cumulative weeks at number one: alone at 80, according to Whitburn and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; tied with Carey at 79, according to Billboard. He holds the record for most number-one singles on the UK chart with 21 and singles reaching the top ten with 76.
As an album artist, Presley is credited by Billboard with the record for the most albums charting in the Billboard 200: 129, far ahead of second-place Frank Sinatra's 82. He also holds the record for the most time spent at number one on the Billboard 200: 67 weeks. In 2015 and 2016, two albums setting Presley's vocals against music by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, If I Can Dream and The Wonder of You, both reached number one in the United Kingdom. This gave him a new record for number-one UK albums by a solo artist with 13, and extended his record for the longest span between number-one albums by anybody-Presley had first topped the British chart in 1956 with his self-titled debut.

The Smithsonian designated Elvis Presley as the Greatest Entertainer of the 20th Century and who had the greatest influence on American culture and music.
3-17-2023. Excellent. Excellent. Elvis fans are kindred spirits! We have a bond. We have a deep love, appreciation for ALL that EP was/is…. Even today! You know…. I am thrilled there are so many documentaries, the written word, photographs, videos, home videos, fan videos etc etc etc that will tell his story for decades to come! I will watch this over and over.
I agree with them. Thank you for sharing that. R.I.P Elvis you are so missed still. 💕👑💕
I had no idea! Do you know when they did this? So excited for him😊. Wish Austin had gotten his acclaim,
@@QueenCreole77 It was quite a while back, I saw it on TH-cam on one of the Elvis channels and wrote it down but I forgot which channel there are so many.

ELVIS wasn't just the King, he was a god of music. It is UNPARALLELED
2023 and this person is still relevant. Incredible.
He set the bar....will always be relevant.
One Hundred Percent 👍👍👍
What year is this documentary from?

Era una potenza sul palco meraviglioso unico inimitabileb
I'm 65 years old, and I still imitate is moves, with my leg shake while listening to his music. It takes me back to the early 70s. Love it !!!!
Elvis looked great and sounded awesome. He could charm the pants off of an audience. After finding out that more people watched Aloha from Hawaii than when man first walked on the moon people who weren't Elvis fans were suddenly fans because they felt the electricity from Elvis that was generated from him to the crowd and people who were watching via satellite felt that magic that Elvis was putting out ! Honestly I have never seen another entertainer that made you fill like they were singing directly to you when there were thousands and thousands of people feeling that same way. Elvis had such fantastic musicians and they knew every move that Elvis made meant a certain sound from them. There will never be anyone like Elvis. Not in this life !
But Brenda they never went to the moon because the furmanate

Elvis was our gift from God!❤️
I wish he could've had his dream to perform concerts oversees, not only would he have seen for himself how many people loved him, he wouldhe would have given so many more people the opportunity to see him live! While I'm extremely glad the Aloha from Hawaii via Satillite was shown live, I feel very let down for him, as he could have followed it up with a lengthy tour and at least make a few more $$! I, like many, am sickened by the way "Colonel" Parker (Yeah, right, Colonel! 😒 Theiving crook!) took advantage of such a naive, trusting, and loyal person as Elvis. It's nothing but thievery to take 60% of Elvis's earnings as he began to do! Pushed him to the max that anyone's body could have taken, and when he was I'll Partner's only concern was that Elvis get on the stage; the man was a pathological lier with complete lack of empathy, he had no shame! I watched an interview Elvis gave, I believe it was after a performance, he had a nasty cough, his eyes looked sick, and that he kept telling the obviously concerned press who kept asking if he was really OK, that "it's just the clean air" that he wasn't used to anymore. The man was sick!! 😥 😧😢I don't know how he was able to sing.
one of if not the best documentaries about Elvis i've ever seen. i saw Elvis in person in '70, '71, '74, '75, and '76, and i've seen countless other entertainers over the years and no one has ever, or will ever, come close to the magic of an Elvis show. he truly was the 'greatest show on earth'. God was showing out when he made Elvis Aaron Presley.
You lucky person! I've heard it said that his voice was even more mesmerising in real life. Was it?
@@helennichols6531 it wasn't just his voice. it was him. the magic in an Elvis concert was unreal. the shows in '70 & '74 were in the Astrodome in Houston so the sound wasn't that great. in fact Elvis actually spent his own money reworking the sound system in there but when it's a huge dome stadium you're going to get that unwanted echo effect. not so much on his voice, which was fantastic but the music. the other shows were in concert arenas and yes, it was mesmerizing to say the least. the best way i can say to reproduce it is headphones. good quality headphones with the (my personal favorite) MSG album. songs like 'the impossible dream' left you stunned. sorry for this mini book but when it comes to Elvis i tend to ramble on once started.
Unfortunately i never saw him live in concert . And to me , he is the best and then some.
Awwe that's awesome I'm 45 male form Canton Ohio. And when I finally started to watching him I'm mesmerized. He was awesome n I feel so bad what happened to him.
You got that right!
Handsome. Wonderful. Charismatic. Best voice ever. Eternity.
RIP to his daughter, Lisa Marie too.
I love Elvis and the thing I love most is he never forgot where he came from.
2023 and he still has millions of fans worldwide and we are still speaking about him.
A legend that can never be replaced. ❤️🇦🇺
Probably more than 200,000,000 people know Elvis' MEGA HIT SONGS in the world, in 160 countries....!!
Time, LONG OVERDUE A RCA SINGALONG DELUXE BOX OF 250 HITS BIGGER THAN LIFE or Billboard !!!!
?.?.????????????
I'm very fortunate to have been alive in the time of Elvis. I think he'll remain a phenomenon forever probably 💛
I loved that I seen him before his death . 03 17 1976. We loved his show. MY COUSINS had front row seats and received a scarf.
It was Mothers Birthday. I am so happy she seen him
She passed away in 2013 and lived in Memphis around his time.she sold shoes at Penneys while my Dad was in WW11.
I Love hearing peoples interactions and memories of Elvis. Thank you for sharing.❤
Me too , my mom seen Elvis live in Las Vegas ❤
No doubt about it❤
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face,,
I’m surprised Elvis lived as long as he did with the grueling performance routine. May he be resting in God’s loving arms.
Elvis is still ALIVE !! That was NOT Elvis in that casket ! It was a Wax Dummy !
That is what was in the 900 lb Copper Casket along with a battery powered
portable cooling unit to keep the Wax from melting. Everyone that observed
the '' body '' in the coffin noticed that the forehead had '' beads of moisture ''.
Gene Smith, Elvis's 1st cousin, said that the Sideburns had been glued on
and kept coming loose! Gene also stated that one could feel the ''chilled air''
all around the casket that was coming from a cooling unit within the coffin.
When Gene asked Vernon where Elvis was , Vernon replied , '' He's safe,
Don't worry ,He's Upstairs resting. We had to put something on display for
the fans ! '' ELVIS did NOT Die on August 16, 1977 ! NO ONE is actually buried there at the Meditation Garden in back of the Mansion. Only the top layer of sod was removed for the placement of the Bronze Memorial plaques ! Those are just there for the Fans and the Tourists. All of Elvis' family members that have done passed on are buried somewhere else in a undisclosed Private Cemetery and ELVIS IS Very Much STILL ALIVE ! He never really stopped making his music ! He has been recording and making music all this time. He just can't release any of his songs using his real name anymore because of EPE, Inc. He has been using different alias ever since. Elvis Aron Presley is sometimes Jon Burrows and several other various ''alias''. He staged and faked his death with the help and knowledge of Col. Tom Parker, Dr. '' Nick '' , Joe Esposito , and the FBI by doing a '' Body Swap '' with a Terminal Bone Cancer patient Roscoe Scott Holloway of Germantown, TN of whom Dr. Nichopolous had located. After some minor cosmetic surgery they made Roscoe Scott Holloway look like Elvis, a ''double'' which fooled the Paramedics , the hospital personnel and most family members. Elvis, aka Jon Burrows, was a U.S. Special Federal Agent that worked undercover in various '' sting operations '' against known members of the SDS Weathermen Underground Terrorist Group. The SDS Weathermen Underground Terrorist Group was responsible for numerous multiple bombings of Police Departments, Federal and State Court Houses and other public buildings during the 1960's and 1970's. Charles William ''Bill'' Ayers was the SDS Leader of the Weathermen Terrorist Group, along with his cohort Bernardine Rae Dohrn, Elvis, aka Jon Burrows, the name he used working for the DEA and later for the FBI as a Special Federal Agent, was appointed by the former late President Richard M. Nixon and Elvis, aka Jon Burrows, worked as a Federal Agent from December 1970 until his official retirement in December 2004. In September 1978 , Elvis, aka Federal Agent Jon Burrows was the Government's '' Secret Witness '' in '' Operation Fountain Pen '' and He testified in Federal Court against a well known member of the Mafia Organized Crime Syndicate, a one Fredrick Peter Pro of the '' Fraternity '' In September 1977, Elvis, aka Federal Agent Jon Burrows, entered the Federal Witness Protection program where he stayed until July 1978.Then Agent Jon Burrows, aka Elvis, returned to Washington D.C. where he worked for the DEA and then later for the FBI Counter Intelligence Branch until his official Retirement in December 2004, and ending 34 years of dedicated Federal Service. Elvis, aka Jon Burrows was in the Federal Witness Protection program because of past threats made by members of the SDS Weathermen Underground Terrorist Group, Bill Ayers and past threats by certain key members of the Mafia Organized Crime Syndicate, of which Agent Burrows, aka Elvis took part in various undercover '' sting operations '' to indict and bring them to Justice. All these facts are told in a documentary interview that Elvis aka Jon Burrows, gave, recorded and released on a DVD in January 2012. Elvis, aka Jon Burrows, also recorded and released a brand new CD of 15 songs in January of 2012. Both have been voice printed and authenticated 100 % as the voice of Elvis Aron Presley by Computer Voice Analysts Technicians. Besides being a U.S. Federal Agent with the DEA and then later with the FBI, as appointed by the late former POTUS Richard M. Nixon on December 21, 1970, Elvis was also a Bonded, Certified & Trained Deputy Sheriff with the Shelby County Sheriff's Dept. Memphis,Tn, since September 23, 1964 and Chief Deputy since October 10, 1970 with Shelby County Sheriff's Dept .Elvis was also a Reserve Police Captain in the Memphis PD , a Reserve Police Captain with Denver PD and a Reserve Deputy Sheriff with the LA County Sheriff's Dept. He was nominated as One of the Top 10 Young Men in America by the American Jaycees on January 16, 1971, not for his work as a Entertainer, but for his dedication and work in Law Enforcement !! A Fulton County Deputy Sheriff , GA , was on location at a very well known Wax Museum in Atlanta, Georgia on the week they were closing. Vernon Presley and a couple of the guys that work for Elvis came in and bought a lifelike life sized wax figure of Elvis, They made the purchase and on the way out the door, Vernon Presley turned to the guy at the museum counter and said,
" Just Wait 'til you guys see what we're going to do with this " !
AND this Is the TRUTH as told by Elvis himself !!! Elvis Presley Is Alive !!!
@@BearStar1 - Nothing you talked about there is remotely accurate, outside of the Nixon thing. And even that wasn't anything more than a courtesy to Elvis, not anything that he could legally have used in the same way an actual agent could.
These stories have been rehashed for over 30 years, and to this day, nothing substantiates them.
But the fact that anyone would still be taking them seriously in 2023 is even more ridiculous than believing them in 1990.
The man would be closing in on 90 right now - which in his family lineage with the known hereditary issues throughout would make him practically a freak of science. He began dealing with many of the same health issues that plagued others in his lineage before he was even 30.
So now, here it is over 45 years later, and he's somehow magically outliving almost everyone from his inner circles - people who had nowhere near the medical ailments he did? Plus his own daughter now as well?
And that doesn't even factor in the additional damage caused by his addiction habits. Do you even realize how remote those odds are at this point?
It's one thing to suggest that he could have lived somewhat past 1977, but to still be alive today borders on insane. He'd have been lucky to have lived to see 75 - even if he'd never touched any pills.
And think about this - if you were someone famous who had some need to pretend you had died, then you could pretty much use any story you could choose, right?
So out of all the possible scenarios, you seriously think that Elvis would pick - collapsed from a toilet with multiple narcotics in his system?
"Hey, guys... Let's use THAT one!"
Why not passing away in his sleep? Or having a stroke on his racquetball court? Or maybe a fiery accident on his motorcycle?
That alone should tell you something very sudden and unexpected took place he had no control over.
How long does it make any logical sense to keep pushing this thing? Until the man would be 95 in a few years? How about when he'd be 100?
Is there any point when you'd realize it's beyond time to end it?
The man was human - not some zombie who's going to be walking around while everyone else dies around him - give it a rest.
@@BearStar1 I can’t believe you took all that time to write all that nonsense. Good grief.
@@BearStar1 J.D. Sumner, Elvis friend before they were famous said he kissed Elvis on his forehead as he lay in his coffin. He was dead.
@@BearStar1great Scott!!...Elvis is still alive?!..this is fantastic good news...sounds very feesable your essay
“We did our job, and we did it very well“
That is the biggest understatement of the century! !! the musicians and singers were beyond exceptional!!!
Yes, the music was amazing !
Well, as Bruce Springsteen had once stated of Elvis, "It's like he came along and whispered a dream, and somehow we all heard it. There have been pretenders and contenders, but there's only one King" Undoubtedly one of the most brilliantly, remarkably talented, gifted, mesmerizing, captivating, spellbindingly magical entertainers to have ever graced the world stage. Elvis Aron Presley, the echoes of the incredibly rich legacy he left behind, will never, ever, cease reverberating throughout the pages of time, because the sun never sets upon a legend. Rest easy Hillbilly Cat, you are immeasurably, immeasurably loved, and truly, deeply, sincerely missed.
@Thomas Deans AMEN to that. 😔❤💔🙏
👏👏👏👏👏
Thomas Deans - A fabulous description of who Elvis was!
Elvis never had anyone care enough to say No! No, I will not write this Rx. No one can survive never being told No! I am a recovering addict (prescription just like EP) & I would have been dead long before Elvis. Unfortunately, not many people understood addiction back then. Some did & Elvis is one of the few that could have afforded help back in the 70s. Anyway, he was a gift to this world & this world destroyed him. Long live The King!
Wow Gerald! You described him to a T! And I forgot that they used to call him the Hillbilly Cat! That was when I was about 15! Thanks for that memory! 🕺🎸
What i really do love about EP is, that he kept his working class mindset. He grinded till the very end and wasn't just living of royalities but gave his very best for his fans🙏
The back-up players were simply fantastic.
Elvis looked like he had just stepped out of a fashion magazine, a super hero magazine. He sounded great as he always did. His smile and charisma made you fill as if he was singing directly to you. He is still the best entertainer of all time and will always be loved and missed by millions of us from all over the world. I know that there will never be anyone like Elvis.
Elvis was the hero in the comic books , just liked he dreamed growing up .
My music hero died when I was 12...It still stings.
Elvis gave 1,684 Concerts and over 6,000 Live Performances during his career as a Entertainer Super Star, a astonishing and amazing achievement not surpassed by anyone ! And over 2.5 Billion Records sold Worldwide ! The Highest Selling Single Artist in the History of Recorded Music !
AND the Only Entertainer in the World that is a member of 4 Music Halls of Fame ! Rock 'n Roll, Country, R & B, and Gospel ! And 21 other Halls of Fame ! That's Why Elvis is the KING of Music !!!
😍👏👏
Muito difícil alguém chegar a sombra do que Elvis foi é e será insuperável é eterno 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✨💞✨💞
He is sorely missed and needed NOW
K I'm
And the Rockabilly HOF!!!
I was 7yo when I saw his '68 Comback, sitting on the floor about 1-2 feet away from our B&W TV, and his voice, especially in minor chords (my favorite!), touched deep into my chest/heart/soul, whatever it was, but that was it! My mother grew up when he first came out, she was 14, so she was really into his earlier years, but I preferred his more matured voice '68 on. I spent my first $$ on that album, then saved my babysitting and lawn mowing $$ for Aloha From Hawaii via Satellite!!
I have always felt badly for him trusting Colonel Parker! He basically robbed Elvis blind, overworked him when he was ill, and didn't give him the opportunity to go outside the boundaries of the US, because he was a crook! Aloha from Hawaii would have been the perfect exposure that would have made sure he had full, blown out concerts all over the world, rather than being limited to Las Vegas. So many of his trusted "friends" took advantage of his generosity and then cashed in by writing a book that trashed him when he couldn't afford them anymore. Terrible, terrible thing to do to someone who they lived off of until he was blead dry!
There will never be anyone who can come close to him!!
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face,,
Do you still have those two albums?
Presley is unsurpassed.
@@Kite-1000 How are you doing pretty?
@@Kite-1000 Yes and no. I have the '68 Comeback in very good condition after many turns on the record player! But I had left my Aloha via Satellite album on the turntable where my phonograph was set up-near a window, and the heat turned it into a bowl shape album, which I still have! He will always remain #1, no one will ever come close to the quality and pure perfection of his voice. He'll always be kept alive, generation after generation, he's amazing! Happy to talk with another person who appreciates the timeless, beautiful, and unique quality of his voice!
Muito triste isso de sugar o outro pôr dinheiro por isso tudo Deus o eternizou seus fãs de verdade só ganha eu acordo ouvindo Elvis vou me deitar ouvindo Elvis e me faz muito bem Elvis é para sempre ✨🌟🌟✨💞💞🌟✨💞💞🌟
I'll never forget that night in 1973...magical to my young mind...I'd never been hypnotized before but I was so moved I was under a spell ..best concert of all time!!
Many stars have come and gone, but E1vis is the whole universe and the big bang💥The GOAT! Before anyone did anything Elvis did everything! The firstest with the mostest! King forever👑
100% SO!
Amen 🎤✨🎶🎶⚡✨😘
That Really Tickles ME 😀😂🙏🎶✨🎶✨⚡❤️
Absolutely agree! 🌻
Frank Sinatra sang and did movies.
The people in this documentary would be so glad to see the new resurgence of Elvis' popularity on youtube. So many reactors who had only associated Elvis with a couple of songs they heard and the Elvis impersonators are falling in love with the man and his music just as we did on our generations.
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face,,
Elvis was pushed into the ground, so sad that people took advantage of him. He will never die in theory, he left a huge impact on our lives that will last until eternity. What happened to Elvis we can't turn back but what we can do is continue to be thankful for having Elvis in our lifetime & his music & talent that he shared around the world ❤❤❤
I was a kid when he died 7 years old, but grew up with the controversy about him. I believe that he was working so hard, as THEY have stated, working so hard, he broke. His spirit broke. I believe that the way they pushed the band to do all those shows would have killed an elephant. Pushing people to the brink of death wasn't exactly the right thing to do. They sit there talk about him but, they probably contributed to his death. Now they are sucking up to the cameras.
Elvis,
At his height of his career, even when weasle Tom Parker. Degenerate gambler. That he was, may God have Mercy on his soul. Took 50%, i don't understand. Why did he do this when the going fee was 15%, I believe, at the time. Did Elvis have a lawyer present? He bever cared for 💰 too much. Judging by how much he gave away. Plenty Elvis from age 20, 35. He ate everything in big hand fulls. Not Money he likes seeing the byproduct of his work! Caddies. He bought what (7) in one week. Honestly, guys. Im Levin is Elvis saying he needs a vacation to get cleaned up for his fans. Sadly, it never happened. " Adios, may we again!
Elvis,
Was so kind ❤️ his father had the bigger gate installed. Elvis would stand outside and listen to everyone's problem. Then he started giving money away. Large sums of it, so Vernon said a lot of the kids would stand at the end of the driveway. & they would tell him. All the troubles, worry him about this & that. I felt it best to put a security gate. He also had value of money, only to help others. Vernon said, "Have you seen the bank statements lately?" Lots of 💰 missing. Daddy, these people's needs & want help. Remember Dad, I don't forget the poor days. I'm going to seek help from church menbers. Is this not what you said Dad, if we have been blessed & we have. It is our obligation. We must do this.
One. Love
HE WAS SO WELL LOVED AND IS JUST AS LOVED TODAY 😍 ❤❤❤❤❤❤

The one thing that seperates Elvis Presley is that fact that he was extremely kind hearted. People do tend to take advantage of kind hearted people.
Greatest performer of all time!
Rest In Peace Elvis---Loved by so many !!!
RIP, Joe Esposito, Joe Gurico, Ronnie Tutt.
Elvis was a PERFECTIONIST all the way !!!!!
Wow - Great documentary!
I watched Elvis sing live from Hawaii as an 11 year old child on the television in my parent's bedroom. I remember it as if it was yesterday, and he's as thrilling today as he was in 1973.
God bless you Elvis.
Would have been a great moment as it is Iconic.
Presley is unsurpassed and shall remain.
I agree I was born in 1962 and admired Elvis from a baby , i was transfixed then and still in love with him still ❤️ ♥️ 💕 💙 💗
J9756😅😮
now I understand when he said "I am tired of being Elvis Presley, too many people depend on me"
What I never heard him say he was tired of people using me
I mean too many people depending on me 😪
So many of us just wish he was still with us, what he achieved in so few years , when you think about it when he died so young and is voice was matured to perfection, the range of a opera singer and stage presence second to none, god blesx you sir, with your daughter now, and no doupt shaking those angels wings with your super voice, there will never be another ELVIS Tthe greatest stage performer and vocalist of is time at is peak early vegas years

@@bryancooper2247 I also wish that he could be brought back to life.
@@Halfom yes maybe there's a better Way. Barry him in the pet sematary
@@HalfomI totally agree with you
Great documentary. The people who were a part of it know the truth. Everyone has their opinion but if you weren’t there personally, it’s just an opinion. Elvis was an incredible musical genius. His legacy in music is unparalleled.
life made him famous 🤩death made him immortal😇we will always love him ❤❤❤
The Smithsonian got it right with Elvis - says it all about him . There is only one Elvis and there will NEVER be another to even come close to him - PEROOD ! That man brought me much happiness growing up and even to this day by listening to his music . How FORTUNATE I was then to have him a part of my life . I loved him then and I love him now . My only regret is not being able to have met him to tell him how important he is/was to me . Rip❤
Thank you for this documentary. I don't know how he lasted as long as he did with no rest. It was just to much. I realize now just how hard his life was.
He slept all day up all night . But yes he was in motels alot for all the concerts

Elvis did not have a life of his own lack of sleep along other things but he gave it his all. I'm mistaken. Too soon I don't know how he lasted like he did
@@babaraemmell828 How are you doing today pretty ?
That's what I do! My daughter called up the radio station yesterday and told the DJ my mom needs to hear Elvis "Suspicious Minds" right about now! TURN IT UP TOO! Oh how I wish I could have seen Elvis at least just one time but I was too young at the time. I still call Elvis "my guy" and all the DJs know who I am talking about "The King!"
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face,,
Long live the king of Rock & roll.. America had many presidents but only one King.
We love you Elvis you will be missed
My Dear God there are no words in the dictionary to describe Elvis ❤....Always and forever our brightest shining star ❤
Elvis may have left the building but he will never leave our hearts!
He was and still is The King of Music!
Irreplaceable and never ever forgotten. Will always love you Elvis. Saw your concert in Hawaii and I still have you in my heart Forevermore ❤❤❤❤❤
I Loved Elvis I remember that horrible day that Elvis passed I was doing laundry in basement when my niece Cindy came running down to tell me Elvis passed away. I just thought was kidding with me it was such a shock that I cried like a baby. I was a Elvis fan since I was a teenager now I'm 79 and I still love his music he was my truly favorite. Still missing him I was at Graceland twice in 1983 it was something I will never ever forget. Love 💘💕 from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Greetings from Ireland 👋
I was 9 years old & I had to break the news to my uncle 💔😪 saddest day ever.. so glad you got to Graceland, im 54 now & going there 🙏 this September I absolutely cannot wait there will never be anyone like him
The way this man performed, the connections he made with the audience and his humble persona was what made him the star he was and still is today!
I have never heard of any other entertainer, that still has fans and reacts as tho he is still alive when they watch him perform
as Elvis. Fads come and go, music comes and goes, but Elvis is like infinity, never ending!
I wish I could have whispered in Elvis ear that I loved him for who he was as a person, not for his fame and that millions of his fans felt the same way! Not all fans felt that way some were starstruck but not everyone! Would have loved to tell him that! ❤
Awe that's awesome. I'm 45 male from Canton Ohio I just started watching n listening to him he was so great. It's so sad what happened to him . When Priscilla left he was lost like a family. Too young to to go thru things in. Life and learn hard lessons. Hi friends should of stepped in but silently.
Me too I would have loved to do the same thing
The greatest concert of all time given by the greatest singer of all time
Very good video. What is it that you never get enough Elvis? I never will, and that's OK. ❤️😢
Amen my religion is the church of elvis because he's the closest thing to a god I've ever seen 🙏
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face,,
@@rocknrolladventures Yes, oh yes. I believe that in the distant future, a form of religion will have been built up around Elvis because as more and more is known about him and what he achieved, the kind of man he was, he will be idolised as much as Buddha, Mohamet and Jesus. All great men of their time. Like Jesus, Elvis was born in poverty, had his disciples with him all the time, and spread love around the world but in 20th century style.
A wonderful tribute to Elvis, with some great insights. His gift to humanity is quite extraordinary and just keeps giving. There is not a day that goes by that I do not listen to him and after all these years I still grieve as many do. We have been blessed by his presence .He will never die in our hearts.

What an awesome
Comment you wrote.
Brought tears to my eyes.
I am Captiva Island, but
the name above my Comment will be from an Impostor named
MOONLILY. She is a thieve and Every comment I make seems to others that she wrote.There is this
COMMUNITY GUIDELINES, to whom I have already complained, but they don’t do anything, it’s
Pathetic!!!!!
I sure hope that nobody ever does to you what this thieve
MOONLILY 1944 did to me! Good luck!😢💙
Goodnight and God bless you ElvisPresley xxx
I've never heard Larry Strickland tell that story before. Eww...That gave me the chills. My favorite thing about Elvis is...I love where he came from. Don't get me wrong I love love love his music and his movies, but when you see someone come from humble beings and God gives them a gift like he did for Elvis....it just blows my mind. I mean there several people that it's happened to like Loretta Lynn, Johnny Cash, the Judd's, etc. But Elvis started something totally different. There wasn't even a name for his music until he started it. Rock n Roll. It was a blessing to have him on this earth. I'm glad I was alive when he was still alive. He will go down in music history as being the most famous person in the world. Great video. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I grew up watching elvis's movies. Here I am a young b lack girl. It is something about him. Even now I am 68 years old. When I look at his videos I still feel this feeling when I look at him . My heart melt. Rest in peace I may see youon the other side.
The heart doesn't see color❤❤
I bought Elvis As Recorded At Madison Square Garden when I was 3 years old. My mom said I could pick out any record and she assumed I'd grab something that look like it was for kids. I was drawn to the Elvis album because he looked like a super hero on the cover. I listened to that album NON STOP and it really kicked off my passion for music in general, not just Elvis. All these years later, I miss him like I knew him. I know that sounds odd to say but I'm sure many fans know the feeling.
I was at the Madison Square Garden Saturday night show. Absolutely terrific. I've been a fan of Elvis since I was 7 years old (1956).
@@jackwalder2602 oh wow, that's amazing. I've listened to that album literally 1000s of times. I would have loved to have been there in person.
I saw Elvis in Vegas at age 8 after the gig my life was never the same ❤…music was then my destiny 💯🤩🎸….
@@Apacheviking1961 wow. I would love to have seen him at all, let alone in Las Vegas
Ya got great taste kid
I've been a fan of the King since 1966 and I always will be...Forever
He kept money go around. Greatest performer of all time!!!!!! Never going to find one like Elvis. He was is God-given talent. He would open his mouth and he would sing on cue like a bird❤️❤️😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Very nice documentary, thank you! This man is just amazing, phenomenal voice. The greatest singer to grace the earth! And he is still loved worldwide, he will never be forgotten.⚡🥇🌍🇿🇦
How could he think he would be forgotten, he ist the GOAT
Elvis never left the building!
Yes he lives on and on and on. He was gifted..had an attraction that you cannot explain. If you watch his later showshe was definately saying goodbye to his fans. He knew he was not going on for much longer. So so SO UNIQUE he could not be duplicated....HE WAS A GIFT... WILL NOT BE REPEATED EVER!
Native Americans feel the drum beat is the same as the human heart beat. Drums are magic! 😍
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face,,
@@philipswilson yes, thank you!
@@diankreczmer6595 where are you from?
@@philipswilson I was born in Chicago a long long time ago and live in Southern arizona now.
@@diankreczmer6595 that is very good to know can we talk outside here .Are you on google chat..
Ronnie is probably one of the best drummers I should say live dramas for a popular artist Ronnie has that ability to be. Keith Moon or that Ginger Baker, Ronnie's drumming does it for me did a hell of a lot Elvis he always had an appreciation for the drummer and I am glad as a drummer and a musician and a music producer, that Elvis Presley always really appreciated the drummer
Did you know Ronnie Tutt played with Billy Joel before Presley...
Great documentary ELVIS WAS AMAZING TALENTED and HE IS FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS😔❤️🇨🇦
Loanne Parker said it all when she said we all expected Elvis to be immortal. In a way he is, he left such a huge legacy in his music and movies. I cried with her when she cried at the end of this video.😮💨
Elvis is truly a total performer as a singer and actor...A good, lovable, generous person, then, now, forever... .
I saw Elvis Presley by satellite in 1973. I was 9 years old and I live in Switzerland. I didnt understand english at this time.
Elvis was a universal language. ;-)
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face,,
I was a noodle, back then.
Lovely warming documentary. Elvis was loving and people around him loved him obviously. ❤
Two shows a night for a month is insane.
Very nice documentary! Thx for sharing. . . Elvis was ahead of his time!
No doubt!
He wasn't ahead of his time... That implies others were like him. Elvis was nothing less than the single biggest Superstar is history. No one will ever match him. No one will ever be like him.
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face,,
Before Elvis and this ensemble, there was nothing like it and there hasn't been since. Thank you for the music, of course Elvis, especially!!
This video is too heartbreaking for any Elvis fan to bear! 😭
Not for me
Great what his drummer said. They had it all together.
You won’t believe this but you made a reply to a 77 yr old woman. I only got to know about Elvis in the last two yrs. I was born ten yrs after him. I didn’t hear him when I was young because my mother died 28 days after I was born. My grandparents raised me and there was only one radio and my grandfather used it so until I was 13 or 14 my sister bought me a radio. By that time other singers were popular. So after all that I listen to u tube A LOT so I started hearing reactions on Elvis by black people wanting to see if he was racist. Then there was Elvis’ return to fame. I know every move he made and just about every song he sang. So I’m an old Elvis fan and can’t stand the ugly stuff that people bring up after all the good stuff. That’s why I comment on just how good he was. Sorry about the long story but I make a lot of good comments on him. It was gospel that really drew me to catch up on who he was.
People would write music for him. He was definitely responsible for how his background singers sounded and how his band sounded. He was instrumental in his sound. “In the Ghetto” was written by Mac Davis but Elvis added “And his mama cried”, but didn’t take credit for it. “Crying in the Chapel “ is angelic with a beautiful head voice hard to replace.
The fact that Colonel thought Elvis was okay to go on tour is mind boggling. He should have been resting & getting healthy. seeing video of Elvis during the last year is so painful. Anyone with half a brain could see he needed help.
These were real good comments none of bad stuff people try to tell about him. Nice sweet comments. He deserves it all there is no one like Elvis. I really think he was a genius of music. This shows the very best of the best singer that ever lived.
Elvis was great at his job....inspired others to be great at theirs.
I am watching this today on his birthday love him it was so sad today no family was at graceland for his birthday so sad I just wish he got help years ago xx we love you Elvis
Wow, he was just so spectacular!!
I had just arrived in the US getting ready to start my senior year in high school when I heard Elvis had passed away. Almost fifty years later, I still can’t believe he’s gone.
“ A man of good reputation never dies; the dead is he whose name is ill spoken of.

It appears that Elvis was a good man. May God continue to bless his soul ✨🙏✨💫💫💫💫
yes he wanted fans to love him and we did and stil do ❤❤❤❤💕🥰🥰
That was so nice and heartbreaking thank you for sharing ..💙 so true ELVIS IS INMORTAL 💘 HE will never die 💘💙💜 love you for ever my gorgeous Elvis x 🥰❤❤
I love the Elvis Moore now that I did when he was alive my My love for him has grown with his gospel music he will ever be immortal and his songs will ever live past the deaths
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face,,
Wow nicely done, after all this time brought a tier, I was one of the lucky ones to see him live hes apart of me. Miss him
Packing my place and watched Elvis's videos all day LEGEND
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face,,
El rey. Es el más grande monumento Rey del Rock and roll... Así de simple.... No hay nadie más grandes que Elvis..
El mejor cantante, ÚNICO E IRREPETIBLE🎉.de la Historia de Música.
EL REY POR SIEMPRE!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Fenomenální Elvis. ❤🌟 Poděkování všem, kteří stáli při něm až do jeho konce a nezradili ho. 🌹👍
That is so so true . He was phenominal and his music crossed all genres , races and creeds and his kindness and generosity knew no bounds .
The show was stratospheric , amazing beyond the realms of this earth
Elvis was his fans. He was us.
He takes over your emotions. RIP Ronnie Tutt😕
The greatest entertainer in the history of the world!
The Hawaii concert was probably the single greatest concert of all time.
He went on the sharp decline after that show.
The event was amazing but Elvis performance wasn’t compared to other concerts , he was vey heavily medicated due to his divorce from Pricilla which seemed to hit him bad at the start of 73 .
@@opencurtin You’re saying he was heavily medicated for the Aloha show??
@@joannemcclure3546 Sad but true. I watched him and thought he looked so good he'd be around for decades. Sigh.
@@opencurtin From what I've read from numerous sources this was the last time Elvis was in good shape. He lost weight and stopped most of his meds except for diet pills.
Joe you guys took great care of Elvis. You guys were literally part of Elvis and he was a part of each one of you. You will feel the loss of him as if you lost a part of your physical body forever. I can see, hear and feel the grieving and loss when you all speak about him... All of you who were so close to him and knew him so well. Just be thankful for that because he chose each one of you to be a piece of him and you allowed him to be a piece of you. There is only you chosen few. Us fans still have a piece of him here because you're all still here. We can shake your hand and know that your hand touched Elvis and be thrilled by that because you all are as close to Elvis as we'll ever get...and when it's your time to join him all we'll have are these videos of all of you and we too will lose you all and him forever. Thank you for doing these interviews and leaving a legacy of the intimate knowledge of someone the world can never forget. Much appreciated. 😢❤
Beautifully written from your heart Dawngartner, thank you.
Watching this on what would have been Elvis 90th birthday. RIP to our king of rock n roll🎉!
Wow that is Awesome Elvis has a beautiful voice and a very handsome man
Elvis was BIGGER THAN LIFE !!!!!!!!!!
For years to come....like year 3500
What struck me after watching Elvis growing up. After several encores, that pubic announcement, "Ladies and Gentlemen, Elvis has left the premises!"
I never heard such an epic announcement, for any other artist.
Left the Building not the premises
They had to say that because the fans would not leave....I wouldn't have left either...the King👑
Elvis never gave an "encore" that Ive heard of? It was straight music until Cant Help Falling in Love at which point he left and would leave for good.
Yes very well said x he was just so naturally talented x love my ELVIS for ever x 😍💔💘💋💋
There would never be an entertainer like Elvis in the world. The best. I never get tired listening to him, ever.
He still the king of rock and roll ❤❤❤❤❤
He was so beautifull! he was so talented! He was so hardworking! He was so loved! Lord do I still miss him ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love Elvis!
FABBB that Trilogy hit !!!!!!!!! Holy holy halelujah boy.....
I could see his movies when I was 13 and became his fan until today. I nevera knew a singer with his voice, rythm and charm. He was and Will be unique!
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face,,
A true gift. Thank you to the universe.
THE GREATEST ENTERTAINER I’ve ever seen in person. The Greatest ❤️❤️💪💪
That's amazing! Cheers
I was 14 , I couldn't stop his way! Rock, amazing man! God created him special ❤
Elvis..Incomparable
Everytime I watch any documentary, concerts by ELVIS PRESLEY, CANT HELP tears on my eyes easily flows, indeed I was back to that time 1977 he left the world, was crying like a little boy, Elvis is gone only word I could utter, OH my Dear Lord God!
Jesus knew what he was doing when he made Elvis!!!! What a voice!!!! No other before and no other after!! There is only one Elvis❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@williammajadas4302 agreed 💯 Presley moves you, he is mesmerising.
I like to believe that throughout his career, Elvis just thoroughly loved performing.!! You could tell he put his whole heart soul and body into every performance almost to a fault.
There was and never will be another Elvis. Complete package personify!
