Whitney looked so incredibly beautiful, as always, and seemed so relax here. To hear her speak so lovingly and eloquently of Elvis and the moment she encountered him was so sweet. I can imagine Whitney as a cute little girl looking at him in such awe. R.I.P. to Whitney and Elvis!
I believe, just my personal belief that if Bobby Brown had never entered her life she would still be with us. Whitney was so beautiful and her voice was equal to her looks! Boy could she sing! I think Bobby was jealous. Whitney Houston had a very strong legacy. Bobby Brown was ok but as an artist Whitney's talent well exceeded Bobby Brown's. Just like Elvis and Whitney, there will never be anyone come close to either. Rest easy Whitney and Elvis. Both of you are missed greatly!
@@WAGNERONE1978 She was an angel that came out of nowhere. I remember hearing that she was dating Bobby Brown and thinking What?... this won't end well.
@@WAGNERONE1978 after watching a documentary it seems like Bobby just added to the stew that was brewing. Her own family got her into drugs before Bobby. Her own father exploited her financially in the start of her career. She was NEVER a innocent victim in the process. Sometimes fame & success doesn’t bring out the best in a human. All I can say is I thank her for the years of amazing entertainment and sacrifices . I wished she had more mental health support back in the day.
@@melissas9245 Whitney was an adult. Nobody is responsible for her adult decisions but her. She was an amazing talent. There is no need to place the blame on other people without at least considering the time period. Doing drugs back in the 1980s was quite the norm so NO her family did NOT "get her into drugs" and drugs were not a big deal back then! It was the norm for celebs back then.
It's amazing to see Whitney speaking as a fan to someone, knowing that she is also in the list of those megastars that celebrities talk about meeting her!
I have seen and read hundreds saying the same thing as Whitney about being in the presence of Elvis. I was in Vegas, up close and personal, and what she said is completely true. Mesmerizing charisma. I have never experienced anything like it, and I have seen many entertainers. He seemed to effect everyone in a room he was in, anywhere he was, all of his short life.
everyone, and i mean each single person that i watched an interview of speaking about elvis had that same reaction of awe and a smile on their face when reminiscing him. a singular phenomenon.
I think the main reason Ray Charles didn't like Elvis is because he couldn't see him. I don't see how it could be possible to dislike this man. Tony Orlando accidentally sat on my hand for a second at a concert a LONG time ago when I was super young. That was my first 'brush' with (against) a famous, popular person. I've met or closely encountered many since. The most impressive was Maynard Jackson; who actually gave me a potentially valuable business reference on a card....that was washed in the laundry (just one of the huge missed opportunities I shat away in MY life). There are VERY few people of 'note' that I would care to meet or really see today. A few old Holywood folk still here. A few athletes and musicians. The former/next president. All in all the 'mystique 'of celebrity and 'fame' has diminished greatly in the modern age. But....without a SINGLE doubt...the main personage, entity, life force being that I would want to have SEEN, let ALONE met....would be the King. Elvis Aaron. It's almost unimaginable to contemplate the effect of seeing one of my ACTUAL superheroes as a kid (Ali, Kineval) in person. I think of the Yaphet Kotto line in 'Alien'. The dude was "HUGE... BIG!"
@tacticalix Quincy and Ray's insults towards elvis were because he was a white boy. Everything Ray said about elvis was false, same thing with Quincy. Racists must lie. That's what they do. Elvis presley's soul, depth and diversity are amazing. It's what set him apart from the rest. So when two famous blacks lie about elvis presley, they display their racist hate for all the world to see.
@@bradhuskersI don’t know about racists, but I know that they’re both two of the most jealous people ever. Charles was jealous of the success that Elvis had as a white man “singing black” in the era that they were in, and Jones was CRAZY jealous of Prince and his abilities. Both men were caught on tape ripping both Elvis and Prince out of sheer jealousy.
RIP Elvis Presley (January 8, 1935 - August 16, 1977), aged 42 And RIP Whitney Houston (August 9, 1963 - February 11, 2012), aged 48 You both will be remembered as legends.
1969, that was his triumphant return to live performing with those stellar shows at the International Hotel in Las Vegas! So energetic! God bless Elvis, Whitney and Cissy!
Michael Jackson was a legendary WEIRDO. He used to hang babies off high balconies and was actually charged with child molestation, which resulted in him paying off the families with hush money. Sickening how anybody could support such a creature, and worse, put his name in the same sentence as Elvis'.
Great story. Whitney Houston’s mother, Cissy, sang with Elvis, together with The Sweet Inspirations, when he made his comeback in Vegas. She was only performing with Elvis for his first season in Vegas (July 31st - August 28th 1969). She left the group so she could take care of her daughter. The rest of the group performed with Elvis right till the end, the last concert being in Indianapolis on june 26th, 1977.
It was a combination of his great beauty, but also he had this aura, and charisma like I have never witnessed before or after. Shelley Fabares recalls it best in an interview with PBS of a happening in the commissary of 750 people when he was making movies. Gave me chills. Like she said, Elvis just could not have lived a long life. Too overwhelming.
My dad and grandad were around when Elvis around, my grandad said when heartbreak hotel came out everything chanaged, iv grew up liking elvis and I’m happy I did he’s the best
I sure miss that voice and her. I heard I’ll Always Love You on an album in 1970s and I knew it was a hit, just so simple, but then I heard Whitney and it went stratospheric.
On the surface this is a great story from Whitney. In reality I find it incredibly spooky, that only a short time after this, Whitney would be found dead in a bathroom in very very similar circumstances to Elvis. 2 Icons that were in the same room (one only an unknown Child at the time)... but both would make newspaper headlines around the world for their untimely and unessecary deaths. Sad.
Cool story. I bet if elvis would have heard whitney sing, there would have been atleast one time they sang together. Even if it was just her tagging along with her mom at a rehearsal.
Whitneys hit single I will always love you, was writen by Dolly Parton and Elvis really wanted to record that song, but Dolly would not give up the rights, Whitneys mum Cissy could have been on backing vocals, but instead her daughter recorded that song and there will never be another version like that ever again, Whitney nailed it.
Not like a god, but as a living legend. Elvis was the legend of the music industry, everything changed and developed in the music industry because of Elvis.
@@Patracat Hater. MJ sold more records than Elvis. He was the biggest superstar of his time and no celebrity has came close to MJ's level of fame. Elvis never even toured outside the USA and his entire music career is ripoff copycatting of black blues and gospel singers.
Elvis was my Elvis, and Whitney was my whitney. They both had God given angelic voices and heavenly talent. Both gone too soon from the spoils of fame and riches.
Interesting...did her mom perform live with him??? Are there any videos of that floating around?? I love elvis, and think at some shows his back ground singers add a lot to the performances
Yes Elvis would agree with you they added a lot to his performance. He told that to members of the media at his 1969 press conference when they asked him about adding Sweet Inspirations to his band. As others here pointed out there's pictures of them together on the internet and also audio where Cissy Houston can be heard on his 1969 live recordings. She said when she had to leave the band so she could spend more time as a mother raising her kids Elvis was very understanding and always told her whenever she wanted to come back he would make a spot for her in the group. Her husband John Houston (Whitney's father) and Elvis got along great too. Cissy said John hung around a lot during that time frame and Elvis and he bonded a little bit. She went on to say years later some of the connections her and John made in the music industry through Elvis came in handy when Whitney started singing as it helped them make some phone calls to help promote Whitney. Just like everyone else that knew Elvis, the Houstons thought very highly of him
It would have been amazing to see Whitney Houston Elvis Presley perform together on Earth I mean here on Earth but now they're performing together in heaven .
Just imagine meeting Whitney, if she's like that with Elvis, then I think I'd be the same to Whitney. She would be amazing to look at, like as if she's a tourist attraction.
SWEET INSPIRATIONS. 🎵⚡ Elvis had an incredible ear for all genres music 🎵 and a large collection of songs.... And musicians and he was never wrong. Just another amazing fact about E. Case in point Elvis's rendition of Early morning rain with John Wilkerson. Amazing....🪄 Gordon Lightfoot was once quoted saying Elvis's version of Early morning rain was the best he had ever heard how about that! the person that pin the song. 👑⚡. And Elvis would have recorded I Will always Love you by 🦋Dolly Parton if his greedy manager Colonel Sanders 🇺🇸 didn't demand 50% plus the rights to the song. Dolly said she loved Elvis... She earned those rights to her music lol. AND I AGREE.
I am sorry that I have make this point as this nice lady passed away, BUT, her mother Cissy Houston did not sing with ELVIS for many years..... Cissy sang for ELVIS only in the summer 69 in Vegas when EP returned to live performances... After 69 Cissy Houston left the Sweet Inspirations!
Well, my wife met Whitney Houston at the hotel she use to work at in Atlanta... and Whitney was drunk or high and tried to take over from the piano player in the lobby.
I hate the rumors put out that Elvis was "racist" that's the biggest piece of fake news horse shit I've ever heard. Elvis came up in black clubs and around black music his whole life. People like to say Eminem was the first white successful rapper, in the same sense Elvis was to rock and roll, guys like little richard and chuck berry huge influences to Elvis. This wouldnt come from a "racist" they used to call Elvis the pelvis and dont forget, Elvis was part native american! Elvis did a movie called the lone star or something like that where he plays a serious role and could have won an award as actor! No cheesy singing in it to sell records, (that was basically the majority of his movies) but that one serious role was amazing. Whitney experienced a legend!!
Flaming Star was the movie where Elvis was half white and half Indian and the white people didn't accept him as white. It was a serious role but Elvis sang the main song "Flaming Star." Even cut an album by that name because I own a copy of the album.
@@brendarobinson2154 it was a great movie and showed Elvis could act, but studios didn’t care about his acting skills. They wanted him singing corny songs in his movies to sell records.
There's a reason God brought Elvis together with Cissy Houston, Whitney, Dolly Parton and Aretha Franklin, since they are all Christians. The younger generations don't know Whitney's 'I Will Always Love You' was written and first performed by Dolly in 1973 and again in the early 80s. Both Dolly's and Whitney's version hit #1. Before Elvis died, Elvis asked Dolly if he could do his own version. Dolly said, 'No, you'll do it better than me'.
