    Elvis was born dirt poor and never forgot where he came from. Based on stories from family and friends, he was the most generous person they knew. "In the Ghetto" is my favorite song by him, and it's still timeless. You can just feel the emotions in that one.

      @@carlamarlene2927 here is an interesting fact. After Elvis sang that song. It is believed he went back stage and cried. When he finished crying, he emerged and in his own words said he would never sing another song or act in another movie he did not believe in. Guess what? He never sang that song again which meant it meant nothing to him. 🖕

    Hey guys, Glad to see that you are discovering E.P. for the first time. He was born in Tupelo, Mississippi at one point he lived in a housing project where only 4 white families lived with the rest being black. He played with the blacks as a child. The called him E.P., dispelling the myth that he was racist. He was once scheduled to do a concert in Texas and they told him that he could leave the black girls at home( meaning The
    Sweet Inspirations - his back singers) Elvis refused and said that they would be there or he would cancel the concert. Needless to say they went (he fed off of their soul-filled voices) At that outdoor arena in Texas before the show that night, He drove through in a convertible with them sitting on the back to show them some love and stick it to the jerk who told him to leave them at home!
    As for beautiful goes, his rendition of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" will bring tears to your eyes.

      With Kelly Preston my first thought went straight to John Travolta ..
      They had loss their son Jet.. then were blessed with another baby.. then 💥 BAM.. she dies😢.. Then Olivia passes and Kirstie… Ya think wow how much more can he handle.. and we don’t know about his actual family members passing…

    That was Elvis' last No 1 hit - it was released in 1969. If you want to see the most amazing vocals ever -- from a human - look up Elvis "How Great Thou Art" live from 1977 - it's a live performance video. Elvis hits a note that no human could ever do. You have to keep replaying that one note --- just to take it -- it's baffling - that a human could do that note and so powerful.

      Elvis was a fantastic singer, who didn't need any gimmicks like Kiss or Alice Cooper to sell records! That whole sequined jump suit,karate moves and giant bent buckle crap was corny, gaudy and ridiculous!! Many don't realize his manager was a thief and took half of everything Elvis earned, he also was an illegal alien so Elvis never toured Europe or anywhere over seas, not once in a 20 year career. The colonel (his manager) was a degenerate gambler and owed Las Vegas casinos millions so the colonel kept Elvis tied to endless gigs in Vegas playing to a bunch of middle aged, middle American women with blue hair. Elvis would have been right up there at the top with all the big performers of the day had he been allowed to tour Overseas and form a modern day type band. Instead he was stuck making those same mediocre movies and playing those same crappy songs!!! Elvis did at one time fire that leech the colonel,formed a new band and was about to tour overseas for the first time.Elvis reconciled with that thief the Colonel and immediately cut Elvis off from all those new deals which would have elevated him back to the top playing rock and roll again. Instead the colonel kept Elvis tied to the throne in order to control the $ ,keep getting his 50% and hide the fact that he was an illegal alien. Elvis relinquished all control of his career to the colonel and it basically killed him !! The colonel had to keep Elvis working and robbing him blind to cover his huge gambling losses!! A real shame cause Elvis could sing country,blues, rockabilly, gospel and many other styles with incredible force and skill. His gospel records are heaven sent!! His diversity in musical genres was like Ray Charles who also excelled in every style he attempted

His loss went global and I can guarantee about 90% of the people remember the exact day, the exact time they found out. It's like a CD burning this into our memory. The people on this planet screamed in pain and cried when he died. The best way to describe his lost on a global scale, if anybody lived on moon they would heard the screams and pain from billions and billions of ppl on Earth. I have never seen any person on this Earth, that can affect an entire planet. Elvis was that person. The people that lived during his time loved and respect him. He was adored!! His loss changed the world. To this day I don't think people ever got over it. He was hard to forget. I was blessed to be born during the time of Elvis Presley. He was a kind and humbled man. He loved everybody and treated everybody equally. I love Elvis and miss him.

I just happened to hear and listen to them, from a young age, or in my teens etc. Through Family growing up, people I knew who might have been older than me, etcetc. I love hearing all types of music and always have.

    Elvis came from a very poor background, and as a result, he was always kind to people, especially of lower classes. He made himself available to fans, and he was generous to a fault. He was known for gifting personal items to people and fans that complimented him on them, like jewelry, etc, even giving away vehicles to common folk. Elvis was the first entertainment superstar, especially when it came over to crossover talent. And he even went away to Korea drafted to fight for the country at the peak of his fame.
    Elvis was “sexual” because of his hip-thrusting while dancing, he sometimes was recorded for live TV only waist up. This performance is late in his career, and if you really want to see why he was “sexual”, do something from when he was younger, or the 1968 comeback special.

It was made two months after MLK’s death here in Memphis, Tennessee, and Elvis was so bothered by it all, he wanted to sing something special for those times (1968).

    You mentioned the background singers, one of which was the lovely Cissy Huston, mother of Whitney Huston. True story!. It’s just over 45 years since Elvis died. And still thousands of fans travel the world to be at Graceland for a midnight vigil to pay respect. No one has ever pulled crowds like Elvis! (Not even MJ). Elvis was the Best there ever was, is and ever will be. RIP EP. P.S

    My mom saw Elvis in concert February 1977 in Charlotte. His health was already deteriorating and because of his health he was over an hour late going on stage and could only perform 30 minutes. My mom still says that's the greatest concert she's ever been to. She's still got her ticket and photos she took all in a photo album. Elvis died just a few months after that concert. I actually remember hearing about his death and I was only 5 1/2 then. I was watching TV when the news broke into what i was watching to announce his death. My mom cried. RIP Elvis

    I saw Elvis in Vegas a few years before he died. He reached down and handed me a scarf, and I briefly held his hand with two huge diamond rings on it. I slept with that scarf around my neck that night. You all should listen to some of his gospel songs, particularly "His Hand in Mine". Watch his early videos that were banned. He was awesome! Glad to see you enjoying him.

      What prof of him closing the door it was closed before ELVIS open it
      Presley donated money to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and other civil rights organizations; he publicly lauded Black musicians; and, treated the Blacks he encountered with respect. Elvis sponsored and contributed a fund for Black singer-songwriter Ivory Joe Hunter, who was hospitalized with cancer, and he helped pay for Jackie Wilson’s hospital bills following Wilson’s stroke in 1975 Jackie and ELVIS became good friends
      Roy Hamilton was “one of Elvis’s chief vocal inspirations,” according to Presley’s biographer Peter Guralnick, who also noted that Elvis was “one of Roy Hamilton’s most devoted admirers.”
      The Lord "messed up on me in two ways '- he didn’t make me black and didn’t make me a bass singer.”- Elvis Presley quote. Elvis and the black community th-cam.com/video/AOThZb_XAPY/w-d-xo.html
      Presley and Ali were famously close friends in the final years leading up to the The King's death in 1977. Elvis memorably gifted the heavyweight icon with a custom-designed robe that mistakenly read "People's Choice" ahead of his win over Joe Bugner FACT!!!

    Elvis is one of the few entertainers in the world who is an inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Country Music Hall of Fame, Gospel Hall of Fame, R&B Hall of Fame, Honky Tonk Hall of Fame, just to name a few. His death on August 16, 1977 was a National Day of Mourning.

    He is the only performer in history to be inducted into the Rock n Roll hall of fame, the country hall of fame and the gospel hall of fame. He starred in 31 movies and 2 concert specials.
    He is easily my favorited music artist.

    I grew up in the 60s and was/am a Beatlemaniac. BUT, my older sisters grew up in the 50s & were Elvis fans through & through. So, I got exposed to Elvis at an early age. Mothers and Grandmothers loved him - because he was loving & good to his mama. He came from dirt poor folks & was generous beyond belief - gifting Cadillacs to strangers. He sang gospel, rock, blues, pop. easy listening, you name it. You need to hear his early hits from the 50s - but my favorite is "If I Can Dream". He is the King of Rock 'n Roll.

    Elvis was also in the movies and he would sing in movies as well. He was actually blonde but he dyed his hair black because of a singer that he really looked up to had dark hair, I forget his name at the moment. Check out some videos of him singing in his younger days. He was a beautiful looking man and his voice was amazing, very very unique that’s why so many people still love him today. The video Shown of him this time around is when he is older, has put on some weight and when he was really bad he would forget the words to songs on stage. Due to the drugs he took at the end and could not stop taking. When he was young and first started singing and moving his hips around it was unheard of and they called him Elvis the pelvis. RIP

    The whole live video of this song in Las Vegas shows who he really was, kidding around with his people, NEVER taking himself seriously, dueling with the drummer.

    Y'all need to research Elvis there's so much to this man that it would blow your minds. I was a little girl in the sixties and my dad adored him. He would play his records and record himself singing because my dad had a fantastic voice as well. I got to see him December of 1976 in concert in Denver Colorado just months before he passed.
    There is a song by him called "and the grass won't pay no mind." I believe it's under country but as Elvis always said rock and roll, country, rhythm and blues all started through gospel music.
    The promised land is another one of his songs that's absolutely fantastic and I think you would enjoy that. He loved to entertain when he was damn good at it. He was a good actor he was a good stage performer he had some rhythm and that body and had charisma that just flowed out of him. Thanks for sharing your reaction you guys are fantastic.
