Hello ,I believe Ginger was so blessed to have Elvis in her life, and I can see she truly Loved him and he loved her .....I've been an Elvis fan for many years ,he was incredible ,he gave everything to his fans ,yes Ginger ,he was kind and generous and a wonderful human being......After all these years we still love him and it proves that his life his voice is a true gift to us all , never to go away ❤.......
I just bought Ginger's book because of this interview. I was only 6 when Elvis died and it was 16 months after my Father had died, which is probably why I was so incredibly upset when I heard Elvis had died (even though I barely knew anything about him). Thank you Steve, for sharing such a wonderful interview with us all.
Thank you Steve for this interview. Ginger was so young at the time of Elvis death. I believe Elvis really loved this woman. I'm going to get her book. Thank you Ginger !!!
My Opinion Ginger was too young for Elvis she was a nice girl and now a famous woman but Elvis did never married his only Love were Priscilla and his daughter LisaMarie❤️🙏Elvis forever
I became a fan of Elvis through my dad, we would watch his movies and his music, my dad loved Elvis music. Now that I'm older and my dad has passed away quite a while now, I still remember those younger days hanging out with my dad in the living room watching Elvis Presley movies. My dad favorite Elvis movie was Blue Hawaii.
Ginger never bad mouthed Elvis and I have a lot of respect for her. People rag on her all the time, but she is a lady through and through, always have been and will be. I am looking forward to her starting a You Tube channel, I love hearing her talk and I'd love for her to put some of theses rumors to rest once and for all. Wonderful interview Steve, enjoyed it a lot. Wish I could go to Memphis in August to see her. What an amazing nine months she had with Elvis, very lucky lady indeed! I think it was destine since he met her dad and then her when she was a little girl, then lady when she went with her sisters to Graceland. So cool!
hi all this is very easy, as i wrote another place in order to blame or judge elvis for anything we have to know him, his life, people around him then maybe we can begin to decide what we think and the same with ginger us who not know her can't say anything about her. Stay safe out there
None of his girlfriends talked bad about him!! She says he was gotta marry her, but he wasn't he even planned on taking another girl on his last tour! He told people he was no way gotta marry Ginger,
How great to hear this recent interview you have made with Ginger. It was a very, very long time ago that I listened to an interview with her. Her voice has changed and darkened a lot...lol, the last time I heard her talking in a video it was shortly after Elvis death and she was then so very, very young, shy and of course also a bit insecure of herself. But you really made her speak up here...well done, which also gave me a lot of new stuff I didn't know of...or have forgotten...lol. Yes, we die-hard Elvis-fans are also old now....lol. But I didn't know of her husband's passing though...how very sad. Some 4 or 5 years ago I also bought her book, which I really enjoyed, so now I keep altogether 35 great books in my special Elvis-library. But I didn't know Elvis was suffering from toncillities when he was young and down in Germany, that was new to me....lol. Looking forward to your next video or your special choices of Elvis' best songs. Hugs from Maggie from Sweden
Thank you very much Steve and Ginger. I really enjoyed this chat. I have Ginger's book and if anyone hasn't read it, please do. I look forward to watching Ginger's upcoming TH-cam channel. 💖 🇬🇧
Steve I love your interviews. I am sure I read recently that the family didn't acknowledge Ginger and Elvis's relationship. Was she allowed to attend his funeral?x
Yes, Ginger attended the funeral service of Elvis. Her two sisters and her mother were also there. At the service inside the house Lisa Marie went to sit on Ginger's lap.
How positive ?!! elvis was tiring of ginger he was not getting wat he needed from her she had not a clue how to deal with him , the arguments they were having on a regular basis was wearing him out the last thing he needed when he felt dreadfully ill was to be arguing with ginger !!!
@@gassbaggerwoods5955 are you being serious here how the hell would you no if they were arguing all the tine your speaking utter rubbish don't believe everything you hear god nose were you heard that from
@@maxbluenose25 Of cource i am , how does anyone know anything about anyone or anything do you think?!! let me enlighten you , there were people around that witnessed their arguments they could be heard all over the house !! . Elvis was a very sick man that last few wks of his life he was desperate to not be alone he hated being alone is why he had such a large entourage he wanted many around him he wanted his family and friends around him. he found a girl who'd looks reminded him of priscilla , many have commented as so , you cannot mistake how much she looked like priscilla being with ginger must have reminded him of priscilla. but ginger gave him more irritant frustrations . elvis himself voiced his concerns to his MM and family how ginger was not giving him wat he needed, he was having serious doubts about marrying her , he told his father when asked by Vernon when was he going to announce the engagement and he said "Heaven knows daddy "! and elvis himself said that not me!! sure signs that elvis was looking forward to marrying her more like the opposite !! she was there the night he died because she stayed over that night , elvis wasn't supposed to die he was making very big plans for change to better himself to change his manager that was sucking him dry financially but his ill health had other ideas , and those closest to him I.E. Larry and Charlie have both said he called the wedding off months before he died . even billy smith his cousin has said so too, i NEVER said that , many have got information like that from those closest to elvis . so if you want to know where i got my info thats where !!
Steve, you always and only highlight the beauty and goodness of Elvis in all you do, this beautiful interview with the kind Ginger being no exception. Thanks ever so much for your positive application.
Thank you for sharing this, Enjoyed hearing Ginger speak about her time with Elvis,, I have read her book, but to hear her speak in person brings her story more to life, hearing her voice,, brings a new depth , and makes it more real. Appreciate your sharing,👍😁Bonnie
Such an interesting interview, never really knew much about Ginger Alden, but ive just seen the Elvis movie and my interest in everything Elvis so to speak has been sparked. Would love to get this book as I bought Pricilla's book many years ago, it would be nice to get another perspective of a man whom I have the utmost admiration for. Thank you Ginger, you come across as someone who tells the truth and wants the truth to be known.
This is a very eye opening interview w Ginger. Just goes to show that there are ALWAYS more than 1 side to stories, and there were so many conflicting stories where Elvis and Ginger were concerned. I'm reading Ginger's book now and I have altered my opinion about Ginger [for the better] after this interview and her book. A big "Thank You" to Ginger and this interview!! Great job! (btw, I am a lifelong Elvis fan/fanatic and to STILL learn more from those that knew him intimately is always fantastic!)
Tcb⚡ well done Steve on your Ginger interview awesome my friend really enjoyed it .now THAT is an interview your keeping it alive all the the best.,tcb⚡
@@Elvisultimatefanchannel ⚡tcb your doing a fantastic job imagine ", Ginger Alden that's a great person to hear from I don't think she does do to many interviews but I think you nailed these people are getting to be a rare part of our of our heroes life and with you my friend I sincerely enjoy listening to them and I will listen to them time and again like I said I really love your work you have an awesome interviewee technique all the best pal As guys like you help keep the great man out there tcb⚡
Jon I agree with you 🤝This interview was absolutely wonderful ⚡️Steve really is the best to really capture great stories and interviews ! How lucky we are to have An Elvis Fan go to this height and give us deep historical life stories and Elvis Presley’s personal friends memories of THE KING🙌🏼
Thanks to ginger i believe what she says about Elvis so happy a lot off the truth as come out .Elvis was a humble man with a heart of gold, God bless our beautiful Elvis 👑👑
and lies too don't forget , she lied about setting the date for the wedding the night elvis died, when truth is elvis had called the wedding off months before he died so why would he be setting a date for a wedding that wasn't going to happen !!?
@@susiemitchell8555 well he didn't, he called it off months before he died , so ginger saying they set the date the night he died was lies , he would not be setting a date for a wedding that was not taking place. he had major concerns about marrying ginger led him to tell larry and charlie that if he married her he would have to marry the family , he was unhappy that he was not getting wat he needed from her !!!
woods you know more about elvis and ginger than ginger does saying shes lieing, you don't know what they talked about for hours I hate people like you that try rewrite history and call people liers ,stop with the bs you don't know what ur talking about.
@@williedesmond8201 myself and millions of other do .when you do your research it not surprising how much we can learn that is not true and ginger saying the night he died they were setting the date is NOT true , fact is that elvis had called the wedding off months before he died. so why would he be setting any date. he spoke to larry and charlie two of his closest friends said he was not getting wat he needed from ginger we don't need to know wat they talked about that night and it wouldn't have been much no doubt , elvis died that night he was positive and upbeat about his forthcoming tour but his body was wrecked. I do not need to "re-write" history its already out there from whence it happened and its well documented !! ginger has shot herself in both feet when she tries to say things happened that obviously didn't happen. We have two of his closest friends who have both said in interview elvis had second thoughts he did not want to marry ginger if he did he will have had to marry her family and he did not want to do that .No one is saying elvis didn't propose , he proposed to many girls and as we know he did to one and she became his wife !! Ginger insists that they spoke of their wedding plans on the night he died but even Vernon said that he thought his son had started to get cold feet. he said whenever he tried to talk to elvis about ginger he'd seemed upset. wonder why that was Mr Desmond !! ? Vernon told him him " I keep hearing and reading that your going to announce your engagement. is that right ? when are you going to get married ?"!! Elvis's reply was not promising " only god knows" he said !! does that sound like someone who was planning a wedding the night he died?!! , elvis couldn't even make plans go ahead with wat he proposed you see he had second thoughts as we were told by those closest to him , and that is history nothing to do with me !!!
So, is it safe to conclude that Elvis' excitement for his new relationship with Ginger is why those concerts in the last week of December '76 were so outstanding?
Steve, I love how you are empathatic during this once in a lifetime interview. Because of your technique there is no way we would have been privileged to hear the actual happenings of Elvis last year. Truth will always out. Thank you Steve
Just finished listening. Great interview. Steve, it was very classy of you to avoid the 'event' out of respect for this singular lady. I had no idea her husband passed on 8/16, too. Insightful interview. Thank you and thanks to Ginger.
How sad for her that she lost her husband on August 16. Also! Probably the two great loves of her life both on that date! If she should ever marry again I would bet she would be very concerned on that date every year!
@@captainwaring so you going to believe a woman you do not know but Elvis did in his own words Elvis felt that GINGER not soninoocent or perefect was using him and her family so who are you going to believe ELVIS or a woman he bedded only and was not seriously in love with I believe ELVIS any day that a pretty face but in side of that face is a user and a liar
@@captainwaring WOW YOU KNOW her but Elvis screwd her THAT DOES NOT MAKE HER INNOCENT I do not care you know her know ! Elvis and her knew HER AND COMING FROM Elvis TOLD TO ME HE FELT SHE WAS using him andI believe him not her ! if why would I BE JEALOUS of a old 69 years woman who still thinks she twenty who lies about Elvis who make money off ELVIS today Iam not jealous hahah THAT WOMAN used Elvis for his money and still doing it today she a frigging LEO they are so good AT LYING make uo things and shows off and all about ME me me Greedy and that is Ginger she fooled you ! at least Elvis saw under that beauty was JUST shallow and greed !
I really loved your interview with Ginger. It was really touching how you mentioned the poem in the end. You could tell in her voice, that she really loved Elvis and still does.
A great informative interview Steve and Ginger. One of the best,good Questions and answers.you both sound like friends remembering someone very special . and of course, Elvis was .and still is ..very special. Thanks.Mike of Bristol UK.
Could you get MORE unknown or unpublished anecdotes from EP and Larry Geller...??? He knows a lot but doesn't say much these days. Hear LG is preparing a MOVIE about Elvis the human being.....!!!!???? Let's hear it ASAP. Should not be another movie but a NETFLIX SERIES !!!!!
Because people think shes a lier an didn't want to marry her at all that's why ,theres some reason cilla doesn't like her but likes linda Thompson so it's not jealousy.
He had very good taste in women!!! Just have so much respect for her, it must have been incredibly hard to go on with her life after he passed...many blessings to her and her family!!!🙆♀️🙅♀️🖖
This was a lovely conversation. You do this beautifully Steve. You’re very kind and thoughtful, you don’t use aggressive techniques that we sometimes see in other interviewers, you’re not invasive at all which allows your guests to be at ease and available to share their beautiful memories. I’m glad I found your channel. See you Sunday. 😉
Elvis:The Ultimate Fan Channel I won't, my internet was down several hours and I need to get the e-mail password🤔. I am so excited about being the "fan of the month"🙌🏼. I will send the address in the next 24 hours.
Thank you for this interview, Ms. Alden, and Steve. I enjoyed "Elvis and Ginger" very much. Such positive memories from a very unique and humble person.
Steve, another great interview, ,insightful, informative, none intrusive and at all times courteous. GInger speaks both eloquently and respectfully about her time with Elvis, a refreshing change from interviews where personal and intimate private matters are discussed unnecessarily. Elvis was an extremely private man and both his integrity and dignity should be always be afforded to him, more so as he can now no longer defend himself. Yet another Lady from Elvis,s life who States he was nothing other than a perfect gent, despite some of the gutter trash that has been said and writren about him since he passed. We have to remember that Ginger was only a young girl , 19/20 yrs of age when she was part of Elvis,s life. There's no denying those 9 months were difficult both physically and emotionally for Elvis but he would never have let her take the burden, im certain he felt she was a tonic for him and something to focus on and see a brighter tomorrow. Maybe because of her age she didn't see or realise the seriousness of the situation concerning Elvis or maybe Elvis made sure she didn't, who knows for certain. GInger has her own memories of the time she spent with Elvis, I dont think anyone has the right to deny her that, regardless of what people's own perceptions may be.
Wow Steve great job on getting a Ginger interview! I’ve read her book, so I knew about a lot of what she talked about & what was covered in this interview, however I wished we could of found out something new & different that we’ve never heard before.
funny she never mentioned that elvis changed his mind months before he died and they never set the date for the wedding as she claims , guess that the beauty of being the only one when he died she can say wat she likes and no one is going to say different , tho good job elvis told charlie and larry he changed his mind !!!
That was enjoyable, she comes across as sincere. I think what everyone needs to remember is she was a kid when she dated Elvis, we all think we know the world at that age. She tried to navigate a totally alien lifestyle that even a mature woman would have difficulty with. She's got a lot of undeserved harsh criticism for 40 odd years, especially the whole she should have prevented Elvis dying, there was only one person that could do that and he didn't save himself.
Just discovered you after listening to your interview with Sally - love listening to such well articulated and insightful discussions around Elvis and to learn more about him through so many different eyes.
Thankyou Steve for bringing us Elvis fans this interview with Ginger 👏.....Nice to hear her side of the story. I will get round to reading her book for sure. Keep them coming 👍🙏.....
I think the tragic thing about Ginger Alden is that the two men she truly loved died young and the same day. It's great that she remembers the good times.
I read Ginger's book quite a while ago. I found it to be down to earth and she speaks of soo much love for Elvis. She must be sooo tired of all the lies that have been told about her. Another 'top' interview Steve. I have been waiting a long time for you to interview Ginger; well done!
@@gassbaggerwoods5955 You are definitely wrong. I am a friend of one of ELVIS' friends who will remain unnamed, and he said ELVIS definitely DID plan to marry Ginger. Amen!
What a really great interview! I just ordered her book. Please have Ginger back again, sometime. It was very pleasant and comforting to listen to her memories.
@susie...why are you trolling everyone? Priscilla has made $200 MILLION off of Elvis. She was sleeping with her dance instructor (by her own admission) only 3 months after she had Lisa. Stop with the superiority. You sound ridiculous.
no not negative my eye jst lies ! saying she and elvis dicussed wedding plans the night he died , thats lies elvis called it off he changed his mind months before he died so why would he be planning a wedding ? there was no wedding !
@@gassbaggerwoods5955 - get over it, they were to wed, it was the real deal. Calling her a liar, based on what you just made up that he called off the wedding is in fact what is the lie. There is no such reference anywhere that he called of the wedding.
@@tdiio7998 up until elvis changed his mind which was months before he died , i have not made anything up both larry & charlie said elvis changed his mind , i never knew about that til i watched that video was a surprise to me to hear it so if the wedding was off then she did lie saying they set the date elvis called it off !! there is a reference its a video on here and if i find it i will post the link to you , and anyway there were many including his cousin billy smith that said he would never marry again he told billy he wouldn't
@Koletti Pireaus yes many have said he was never going to marry ginger , and when many say the same thing its generally the truth , his own cousin said he told him he would never marry again no i don't know better or claim to i jst do my research weigh up the facts and go with that
@Koletti Pireaus The Family ( Billy Smith ) is your source ??? __Here is what I do no for sure and what everyone that loves Elvis knows. And this is fact. Elvis Presley's Dad, riddance Billy Smith, along with his wife and children off the grounds of Graceland soon after Elvis passed. Your source for what you do know in regards to Ginger, comes from cousin "Billy Smith" the family as you state. Now I don't about your definition of Family, but for me, Vernon sure had to know something bad, about Billy his son's cousin, the family to riddance him off the grounds of Graceland. And Vernon also wanted the Furniture. For me this so telling of the value of what Billy Smith speaks negative in regards to Ginger, which equates to a man that lost his place in the hierarchy and and entitlement status to Ginger. This is a man, Elvis Presley first cousin, Billy who drew up a testament of trust with Elvis, where they would never hurt each other, and what did Billy do after Elvis passes he humiliates Elvis with his personal and opinionated base recollect of how bad Ginger was for Elvis. This is woman who Elvis dearly loved enough to want to marry. He also speaks tales of personal habits of Elvis, that really was not necessary other than ridicule Elvis his cousin the Family. Vernon was no fool, he knew, who was Genuine with his Son. And that goes for Charlie Hodge as well, riddance of he grounds of Graceland. Let's erase the bullshats of the pass in regards to Elvis and to the Woman "Ginger" who he loved dearly to marry.
Good to hear from you Ginger! you are a true respectful young lady not moving in to his home right away like all the others, unlike Percilla whos Dad sold her out (just saying). Please keep speaking Miss Ginger and thank you.
Elvis told his dad he didn't want to marry her and his friends as well ,funny that the engagement never came out because elvis didn't want to marry her ,this is well known that he said it to his dad and friends joe Esposito and others ,it suits her to say he asked her then he passes away ,he asked other girls to to get engaged lol ah well another book sold
@Willie Desmond Seems like every woman Elvis slept with was "the one", yet he wasn't faithful to any of them, he especially wasn't true to himself. Priscilla, whom he supposedly "dearly loved", to keep her, he married her, presented her with a dream life / lifestyle, she had his child, yet he'd board a plane, go on tour and sleep with anyone he chose. Then return home to an eventually suspicious wife. I still feel for all the woman Elvis hooked up with, all young, innocent, and truly in awe over the king, as though they were someone special to him. Of course they were, until he set his eyes on someone else. I had no idea the extent of his womanizing ways. It's disgusting actually.
Hi Steve, What a great interview, you really got a big one there. I found Ginger very polite and humble and conducted herself really well. Thanks Steve amazing again xxx 💝
Steve great interview once again! You always listen and let them talk and your questions are exactly what us Elvis fans would ask and want to know! Ginger’s story needs to be heard! ⚡️TCB⚡️
Np you did a excellent job Elvis can be a very touchy subject to interview I interviewed Priscilla here in Vancouver Canada about 9 years ago for a promotion she was doing went very well You have to be careful when you ask questions to the people that were involved in his life . Very nice
Hi Steve, What a Great interview😊 My favourite one you’ve done so far!! What a Treat!! Ginger is so nice❤️I respect you Steve for not asking Ginger about August 16th.😢Thank you Steve🙏😊Stay safe❤️
I respect the fact that. Ginger didn't run and write a book that she waited 38 years to do so. So many people he loved wasted no time in writing one or even putting things ln documentories or interviews that didn't need to be put out especially by those he loved an d trusted. During the time right after his death there were those in his inner circle that were so angry with him for dying that they told things they wish they could take back. I am glad to hear. Ginger say that he had happy days in his last months.. The health problems alone the insomnia the book wold put anybody ln bad place. I am so glad that he had good days at the end. Elvis lived an exceptional life but pald a high price to have lived it. And boy did he.live it. I enjoy your interviews and your podcasts . thanks for keeping the greatest entertainer of all time in the spotlight.
I could’ve listened to that chat for another hour Steve..it was really relaxed & as she felt comfortable with you she spoke very openly. It’s just incredible to imagine that she laid by his side & shared his life..it’s mind blowing! Her honest nature in the interview reflected what she was like in her book. Lovely...Thanks Steve 🤴🏻⚡️🎼
More people need to listen to what Ginger says about Elvis in his last nine months of his life and stop believing the unfair lies that continue to be said about this lovely man. Thank you Ginger, for loving Elvis, for your decency ,and for doing your best to set the record straight .
We all love Elvis..and what to hear the good about him..but there were the not so good things about him,which I think we she also hear about to see what if that was true or false..and I do wonder with Ginger said Elvis proposed in the January but introduced her as his GF ..and billy Smith said he was taking some other girl on his last tour..what was Gingers answer to that? Sorry I havnt read her book .
@@tinafoley2229 yes, Ginger didn't want to go on the first part of the tour. I wrote previously that Elvis took Alicia instead, but that was not correct. I got it confused because Elvis DID take Alicia to Las Vegas in April 1977, 4 months before he died. Billy and Jo knew Alicia and talk about her in one of their videos. I was curious about her so I just bought the book "Elvis and Alicia," just received it though, haven't had time to read it yet. I feel like she's kind of forgotten and I'm glad she now has a voice, so to speak.
@@katgirlblue Alicia Kerwin never attended an Elvis concert. She never went on tour with him. According to her testimony in the Dr Nick trial, she wasn’t even interested in Elvis.
@@giulia473 Alicia was interested enough in him to accept a new car from him and she could have had the decency to be just a little upset that the man died.
Great interview with Ginger, thanks Steve. I have Ginger's book among a few other books about Elvis, but without a doubt, Ginger's book is the absolute best on Elvis and her life together, ever. There are a lot of lies out there and Ginger has done a good job debunking all the crap some people seem to want to say about her and Elvis, none of it true. I'm also a member of the Elvis and Ginger support groups on Facebook. I certainly recommend the one book to buy above all others is Elvis & Ginger by Ginger Alden. I had never seen this side of Elvis so beautifully portrayed by anyone before.
Thank you Steve enjoying your interviewing with ginger. Keep up the great work Had a great time going to Graceland for the first time last August 2020. Due to the limited Amount of people allowed to go inside the house at a time. Was kinda of cool. Was only Three of us at one point of time in Graceland . Thanks again Steve...
I am planning this august to go back again to Memphis. If your ever in the states please Let me know. I will be your guild if needed. Thanks again Joseph
When I look at photos of Ginger when she was with Elvis, there is such a resemblance to Priscilla. Anyway, she seems like a very lovely woman, intelligent and classy. I must read her book. Thank you for this interview. I am just discovering Elvis since I saw the movie about him.
So glad this beautiful lady of grace was able to tell her story. I bet from the second Elvis was cold, the vultures were taking control, pushing this girl out. Sadly since they weren't married, she had no legal rights. I hope she was able to at least take the gifts and memories she shared with him. Priscilla was the one able to capitalize on the Presley name because she had his only living heir. Am very surprised as much as this man “shared the love” that there hasn't been more kids come out of the woodwork.
Great interview with Ginger, loved how she talks very respectfully of him and she talked highly of him, ! I still love how both Ginger and Linda show their love and admiration of the King 😎♥️♥️
An old friend of mine if related to Ginger Alden and attended the funeral of their grandfather and she took some pics of Elvis and Ginger together. He was wearing a large brown fur coat with matching hat.
Very nice & informative interview! One thing I can say about Ginger speaking of Elvis, it's expressed with love & respect for him; and for that I can applaud her sincerity. I still wish there would have been some mention of the occurrences surrounding Elvis' passing & the lawsuit against his estate, with her own voice, rather than words on a page in her book. Nevertheless, I like her perspective & I think she has evolved nicely from when we first learned of her at age 20. Beautiful inside & out. Great questions & transparency. 👍👍
fantastic interview Steve thank you for the interview, l bought Elvis and Ginger and its the best book l have ever read on Elvis and Ginger is a very nice and kind person, well done Steve
I am so glad I watched this interview. So much respect for her open answers and truth about her and how she knew Elvis. I have been watching a lot of interviews, etc and had the opinion Elvis really got used and abused. I feel Elvis deserved so much more, hindsight is always the best. Proud of her to tell her story, she matters and her relationship with Elvis was precious. Love this girl.
she did not know elvis , she was bearly with him a few months and was hardly there wat could she have learned about him priscilla & linda knew more , yes such a precious relationship that elvis changed his mind and did not want to marry her months before he died didn't stop her lying about setting the date the night he died , she is a liar!!
@@gassbaggerwoods5955 that is so true Elvis DID not want to marry her as she goes about saying she need to tell the truth and stop LYING and stop making money out of her lies , shameful lady no class !
there was no truth from ginger she lied about setting the wedding date there was no wedding elvis called it of months before he died he sure was used by the aldens how dare they sue elvis and his family like vernon needed that on top of his grief jst lost his son and has to deal with the courts jst cos they wanted money and more of it , how dare they do that to elvis , should have had more respect for him and dropped it who does that to a dead man !!? yes elvis deserved way better than he got with the aldens elvis was done with ginger she wasn't giving him wat he needed doubt he saw the relationship as precious!
Hi Elizabeth Welcome aboard...I'm glad you enjoyed the interview...there are lots more on the channel.I have created a playlist of all the interviews done so far with the people from the Elvis world...just select Playlists on the home page. Happy Christmas to you Steve
WOW!! This interview with lovely Ginger Alden was so good! Would you please ask Ginger if Elvis’s eyes were green or blue? I have seen many home movies where they appear green, yet in other photos, his eyes appear blue. Thankyou very much! 🌹🎶
Elvis had unique eye color that changed according to mood or colors he was wearing. My mother's eyes were like that. They appeared to be hazel, but at times turned blue or a blue green.
Fantastic interview! It’s been so many years and a lot of different stories from other members of Elvis’s entourage it’s hard to discern what is true, false, manufactured or simply lies. Ginger was so young at the time she was with Elvis that I have a hard time what to believe anymore! Not really sure if it matters anymore, but I found it very interesting to hear her side! Elvis was such a complex person and he was in poor health during their time together. The only person who knows the entire truth is Elvis and sadly he’s not here to tell us what was really happening in his life..thank you for sharing this with us it gives another perspective about his life, I only wish he was here to tell us the way it was!
@@pattynuzzello9035 I don't feel that every single person only cared about the money they would get from their book. Some people seem very sincere and would like to convey how it was to be with Elvis. Linda seems very sincere to me, and also the book Elvis and the Memphis Mafia was excellent; they tell all sides, good, bad, and everything in between. I'd love to read DJ Fontana's book but it's out of print and hard to get. People don't really make big time money from books. It's a lot like acting, there are very few who are superstars among the thousands who do it.
@@pattynuzzello9035 obviously elvis would know what his intentions where because they were his ,just like anybody's intentions only they know them stating the obvious
Very nice interview! So happy to hear someone who truly cared about Elvis. So sad that her husband died on the anniversary of Elvis' death. What are the odds!?!
What a wonderful job on the interview. Lots of feelings from Ginger on the responses to some good questions.I've bought her book, when it first came out, and she really does seem so creditable on all the issues. I was looking for sincererity and honesty ( if you can get that through reading a book ? ) . And in my opinion, she has really been a champion on all the issues. I'd love to get to Memphis in August to meet and hear her one night show. She part of Elvis' life and should be treated with great respect. But it could be a difficult night too. Her and Pricilla, Im told dont get along and she mentioned in this interview, that she'd be happy to speak to Lisa. Im surprised that hasn't happen over these past 40 years. Something is not right with that ? Great interview and Thanks for posting. I know all the Elvis fans really appreciate all the work that goes into this type of project
Classy interview. Classy lady easy to see what Elvis loved about Ginger. Her book is the final piece of the jigsaw for me. Thank you Steve this is the business enjoyed it enormously.
Hello ,I believe Ginger was so blessed to have Elvis in her life, and I can see she truly Loved him and he loved her .....I've been an Elvis fan for many years ,he was incredible ,he gave everything to his fans ,yes Ginger ,he was kind and generous and a wonderful human being......After all these years we still love him and it proves that his life his voice is a true gift to us all , never to go away ❤.......
I just bought Ginger's book because of this interview. I was only 6 when Elvis died and it was 16 months after my Father had died, which is probably why I was so incredibly upset when I heard Elvis had died (even though I barely knew anything about him). Thank you Steve, for sharing such a wonderful interview with us all.
You are very welcome
It’s great Ginger has finally told her story and the love she shared with Elvis. Respect her silence for Elvis for all 30yrs.
Beautiful woman
Thank you Steve for this interview. Ginger was so young at the time of Elvis death. I believe Elvis really loved this woman. I'm going to get her book. Thank you Ginger !!!
My Opinion Ginger was too young for Elvis she was a nice girl and now a famous woman but Elvis did never married his only Love were Priscilla and his daughter LisaMarie❤️🙏Elvis forever
Beautiful Ginger Elvis love to you could see why
I became a fan of Elvis through my dad, we would watch his movies and his music, my dad loved Elvis music. Now that I'm older and my dad has passed away quite a while now, I still remember those younger days hanging out with my dad in the living room watching Elvis Presley movies. My dad favorite Elvis movie was Blue Hawaii.
Ginger never bad mouthed Elvis and I have a lot of respect for her. People rag on her all the time, but she is a lady through and through, always have been and will be. I am looking forward to her starting a You Tube channel, I love hearing her talk and I'd love for her to put some of theses rumors to rest once and for all. Wonderful interview Steve, enjoyed it a lot. Wish I could go to Memphis in August to see her. What an amazing nine months she had with Elvis, very lucky lady indeed! I think it was destine since he met her dad and then her when she was a little girl, then lady when she went with her sisters to Graceland. So cool!
she told lies about him there was no wedding elvis called it off
Hello Pretty 💖
hi
all this is very easy, as i wrote another place in order to blame or judge elvis for anything we have to know him, his life, people around him then maybe we can begin to decide what we think and the same with ginger us who not know her can't say anything about her.
Stay safe out there
Her and her mother sued the estate after he died saying he owed thrm money.
None of his girlfriends talked bad about him!! She says he was gotta marry her, but he wasn't he even planned on taking another girl on his last tour! He told people he was no way gotta marry Ginger,
How great to hear this recent interview you have made with Ginger. It was a very, very long time ago that I listened to an interview with her. Her voice has changed and darkened a lot...lol, the last time I heard her talking in a video it was shortly after Elvis death and she was then so very, very young, shy and of course also a bit insecure of herself. But you really made her speak up here...well done, which also gave me a lot of new stuff I didn't know of...or have forgotten...lol. Yes, we die-hard Elvis-fans are also old now....lol.
But I didn't know of her husband's passing though...how very sad.
Some 4 or 5 years ago I also bought her book, which I really enjoyed, so now I keep altogether 35 great books in my special Elvis-library.
But I didn't know Elvis was suffering from toncillities when he was young and down in Germany, that was new to me....lol.
Looking forward to your next video or your special choices of Elvis' best songs. Hugs from Maggie from Sweden
He was hospitalized twice in Germany and had tonsillitis several times his whole career.
Thank you very much Steve and Ginger. I really enjoyed this chat. I have Ginger's book and if anyone hasn't read it, please do. I look forward to watching Ginger's upcoming TH-cam channel. 💖 🇬🇧
Steve I love your interviews. I am sure I read recently that the family didn't acknowledge Ginger and Elvis's relationship. Was she allowed to attend his funeral?x
Yes, Ginger attended the funeral service of Elvis. Her two sisters and her mother were also there. At the service inside the house Lisa Marie went to sit on Ginger's lap.
Thank yuo Steve for this great interview Ginger Is a wonderful Lady.Elvis Is Forever the greatest.
Really enjoyed this interview. Iv read gingers book a few times now. It’s such a positive force for those last months of Elvis’ life. X
How positive ?!! elvis was tiring of ginger he was not getting wat he needed from her she had not a clue how to deal with him , the arguments they were having on a regular basis was wearing him out the last thing he needed when he felt dreadfully ill was to be arguing with ginger !!!
@Gass...how do you know? You are too hung up on the fantasy love story of Elvis and Priscilla. Do some research.
@@gassbaggerwoods5955 are you being serious here how the hell would you no if they were arguing all the tine your speaking utter rubbish don't believe everything you hear god nose were you heard that from
@@maxbluenose25 Of cource i am , how does anyone know anything about anyone or anything do you think?!! let me enlighten you , there were people around that witnessed their arguments they could be heard all over the house !! . Elvis was a very sick man that last few wks of his life he was desperate to not be alone he hated being alone is why he had such a large entourage he wanted many around him he wanted his family and friends around him. he found a girl who'd looks reminded him of priscilla , many have commented as so , you cannot mistake how much she looked like priscilla being with ginger must have reminded him of priscilla. but ginger gave him more irritant frustrations . elvis himself voiced his concerns to his MM and family how ginger was not giving him wat he needed, he was having serious doubts about marrying her , he told his father when asked by Vernon when was he going to announce the engagement and he said "Heaven knows daddy "! and elvis himself said that not me!! sure signs that elvis was looking forward to marrying her more like the opposite !! she was there the night he died because she stayed over that night , elvis wasn't supposed to die he was making very big plans for change to better himself to change his manager that was sucking him dry financially but his ill health had other ideas , and those closest to him I.E. Larry and Charlie have both said he called the wedding off months before he died . even billy smith his cousin has said so too, i NEVER said that , many have got information like that from those closest to elvis . so if you want to know where i got my info thats where !!
Steve, you always and only highlight the beauty and goodness of Elvis in all you do, this beautiful interview with the kind Ginger being no exception. Thanks ever so much for your positive application.
Thanks Andy

Thank you for sharing this, Enjoyed hearing Ginger speak about her time with Elvis,, I have read her book, but to hear her speak in person brings her story more to life, hearing her voice,, brings a new depth , and makes it more real. Appreciate your sharing,👍😁Bonnie
Glad you enjoyed it Bonnie
Thank you Ginger, Thank you for all these special memories and time you shared with us. 😊👍❤️
Such an interesting interview, never really knew much about Ginger Alden, but ive just seen the Elvis movie and my interest in everything Elvis so to speak has been sparked. Would love to get this book as I bought Pricilla's book many years ago, it would be nice to get another perspective of a man whom I have the utmost admiration for. Thank you Ginger, you come across as someone who tells the truth and wants the truth to be known.
Thank you, Ginger and Steve!
You're welcome
Great interview Steve. You asked all the right questions, whilst being respectful at the same time, which isn't always easy. Well done. 👏 👏👏
This is a very eye opening interview w Ginger. Just goes to show that there are ALWAYS more than 1 side to stories, and there were so many conflicting stories where Elvis and Ginger were concerned. I'm reading Ginger's book now and I have altered my opinion about Ginger [for the better] after this interview and her book. A big "Thank You" to Ginger and this interview!! Great job! (btw, I am a lifelong Elvis fan/fanatic and to STILL learn more from those that knew him intimately is always fantastic!)
Always impressed with the interviews you get Steve but this is a big one!
Thanks Jon

Jon I agree with you 🤝This interview was absolutely wonderful ⚡️Steve really is the best to really capture great stories and interviews ! How lucky we are to have An Elvis Fan go to this height and give us deep historical life stories and Elvis Presley’s personal friends memories of THE KING🙌🏼
Thanks to ginger i believe what she says about Elvis so happy a lot off the truth as come out .Elvis was a humble man with a heart of gold, God bless our beautiful Elvis 👑👑
and lies too don't forget , she lied about setting the date for the wedding the night elvis died, when truth is elvis had called the wedding off months before he died so why would he be setting a date for a wedding that wasn't going to happen !!?
@@gassbaggerwoods5955 you told the truth here he had no intention of marry ing her in the end Elvis could not stand her !
@@susiemitchell8555 well he didn't, he called it off months before he died , so ginger saying they set the date the night he died was lies , he would not be setting a date for a wedding that was not taking place. he had major concerns about marrying ginger led him to tell larry and charlie that if he married her he would have to marry the family , he was unhappy that he was not getting wat he needed from her !!!
woods you know more about elvis and ginger than ginger does saying shes lieing, you don't know what they talked about for hours I hate people like you that try rewrite history and call people liers ,stop with the bs you don't know what ur talking about.
@@williedesmond8201 myself and millions of other do .when you do your research it not surprising how much we can learn that is not true and ginger saying the night he died they were setting the date is NOT true , fact is that elvis had called the wedding off months before he died. so why would he be setting any date. he spoke to larry and charlie two of his closest friends said he was not getting wat he needed from ginger we don't need to know wat they talked about that night and it wouldn't have been much no doubt , elvis died that night he was positive and upbeat about his forthcoming tour but his body was wrecked. I do not need to "re-write" history its already out there from whence it happened and its well documented !! ginger has shot herself in both feet when she tries to say things happened that obviously didn't happen. We have two of his closest friends who have both said in interview elvis had second thoughts he did not want to marry ginger if he did he will have had to marry her family and he did not want to do that .No one is saying elvis didn't propose , he proposed to many girls and as we know he did to one and she became his wife !! Ginger insists that they spoke of their wedding plans on the night he died but even Vernon said that he thought his son had started to get cold feet. he said whenever he tried to talk to elvis about ginger he'd seemed upset. wonder why that was Mr Desmond !! ? Vernon told him him " I keep hearing and reading that your going to announce your engagement. is that right ? when are you going to get married ?"!! Elvis's reply was not promising " only god knows" he said !! does that sound like someone who was planning a wedding the night he died?!! , elvis couldn't even make plans go ahead with wat he proposed you see he had second thoughts as we were told by those closest to him , and that is history nothing to do with me !!!
So, is it safe to conclude that Elvis' excitement for his new relationship with Ginger is why those concerts in the last week of December '76 were so outstanding?
Lovely conversation, Steve! Ginger sounds like a woman who deserves respect.
Thanks very much glad you enjoyed it
Steve
Steve, I love how you are empathatic during this once in a lifetime interview. Because of your technique there is no way we would have been privileged to hear the actual happenings of Elvis last year. Truth will always out. Thank you Steve
Very kind Colin.Glad you enjoyed it
I don't think we really did hear actual happenings did we?
Just finished listening. Great interview. Steve, it was very classy of you to avoid the 'event' out of respect for this singular lady. I had no idea her husband passed on 8/16, too. Insightful interview. Thank you and thanks to Ginger.
How sad for her that she lost her husband on August 16. Also! Probably the two great loves of her life both on that date! If she should ever marry again I would bet she would be very concerned on that date every year!
@@gracieg7601 - That date must be a hard one for her.
@@TeleNikon I bet you she not telling the truth there !
@@captainwaring so you going to believe a woman you do not know but Elvis did in his own words Elvis felt that GINGER not soninoocent or perefect was using him and her family so who are you going to believe ELVIS or a woman he bedded only and was not seriously in love with I believe ELVIS any day that a pretty face but in side of that face is a user and a liar
@@captainwaring WOW YOU KNOW her but Elvis screwd her THAT DOES NOT MAKE HER INNOCENT I do not care you know her know ! Elvis and her knew HER AND COMING FROM Elvis TOLD TO ME HE FELT SHE WAS using him andI believe him not her ! if why would I BE JEALOUS of a old 69 years woman who still thinks she twenty who lies about Elvis who make money off ELVIS today Iam not jealous hahah THAT WOMAN used Elvis for his money and still doing it today she a frigging LEO they are so good AT LYING make uo things and shows off and all about ME me me Greedy and that is Ginger she fooled you ! at least Elvis saw under that beauty was JUST shallow and greed !
I really loved your interview with Ginger. It was really touching how you mentioned the poem in the end. You could tell in her voice, that she really loved Elvis and still does.
Thanks Elena
Sorry, the interview was not good..Ginger is not honest and left Elvis in the bathroom until she put on her makeup to call someone, after 6 hours..
Untrue
she loved the life style and the money !
@Gass....And Linda and Priscilla didn't? You'll have to come up with something better than that.
Fantastic Interview!! Oh goodness I will surely listen to this several times! Thank you Steve and Ginger!
Thanks Grandmaw
Spread the word about this interview please
A great informative interview Steve and Ginger. One of the best,good Questions and answers.you both sound like friends remembering someone very special . and of course, Elvis was .and still is ..very special. Thanks.Mike of Bristol UK.
Could you get MORE unknown or unpublished anecdotes from EP and Larry Geller...??? He knows a lot but doesn't say much these days. Hear LG is preparing a MOVIE about Elvis the human being.....!!!!???? Let's hear it ASAP. Should not be another movie but a NETFLIX SERIES !!!!!
Great interview. I was hoping your mystery guest was Ginger. She’s seems like a lovely lady. I really don't understand why some fans bad mouth her.
I agree
Because people think shes a lier an didn't want to marry her at all that's why ,theres some reason cilla doesn't like her but likes linda Thompson so it's not jealousy.
Prissy doest like Ginger because Elvis actually found someone he wanted to marry and it wasn't her
He had very good taste in women!!! Just have so much respect for her, it must have been incredibly hard to go on with her life after he passed...many blessings to her and her family!!!🙆♀️🙅♀️🖖
She looked like Priscilla Before the horrible plastic surgery
This was a lovely conversation. You do this beautifully Steve. You’re very kind and thoughtful, you don’t use aggressive techniques that we sometimes see in other interviewers, you’re not invasive at all which allows your guests to be at ease and available to share their beautiful memories. I’m glad I found your channel. See you Sunday. 😉

Then we have to agree to disagree because I don't...
Thank you for this interview, Ms. Alden, and Steve. I enjoyed "Elvis and Ginger" very much. Such positive memories from a very unique and humble person.
Cheers Matt
Steve, another great interview, ,insightful, informative, none intrusive and at all times courteous.
GInger speaks both eloquently and respectfully about her time with Elvis, a refreshing change from interviews where personal and intimate private matters are discussed unnecessarily. Elvis was an extremely private man and both his integrity and dignity should be always be afforded to him, more so as he can now no longer defend himself.
Yet another Lady from Elvis,s life who States he was nothing other than a perfect gent, despite some of the gutter trash that has been said and writren about him since he passed. We have to remember that Ginger was only a young girl , 19/20 yrs of age when she was part of Elvis,s life. There's no denying those 9 months were difficult both physically and emotionally for Elvis but he would never have let her take the burden, im certain he felt she was a tonic for him and something to focus on and see a brighter tomorrow. Maybe because of her age she didn't see or realise the seriousness of the situation concerning Elvis or maybe Elvis made sure she didn't, who knows for certain.
GInger has her own memories of the time she spent with Elvis, I dont think anyone has the right to deny her that, regardless of what people's own perceptions may be.
Wow Steve great job on getting a Ginger interview!
I’ve read her book, so I knew about a lot of what she talked about & what was covered in this interview, however I wished we could of found out something new & different that we’ve never heard before.
funny she never mentioned that elvis changed his mind months before he died and they never set the date for the wedding as she claims , guess that the beauty of being the only one when he died she can say wat she likes and no one is going to say different , tho good job elvis told charlie and larry he changed his mind !!!
Amazing interview with a nice lady❤️ Thank you, really enjoyed the new insights. Hopefully Ginger will come back again :))
That was enjoyable, she comes across as sincere. I think what everyone needs to remember is she was a kid when she dated Elvis, we all think we know the world at that age. She tried to navigate a totally alien lifestyle that even a mature woman would have difficulty with. She's got a lot of undeserved harsh criticism for 40 odd years, especially the whole she should have prevented Elvis dying, there was only one person that could do that and he didn't save himself.
Wow Steve!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR TIME WITH HER....WITH ALL OF US!!!!!
Just discovered you after listening to your interview with Sally - love listening to such well articulated and insightful discussions around Elvis and to learn more about him through so many different eyes.
Thanks Ali..glad you are enjoying the channel.

Thankyou Steve for bringing us Elvis fans this interview with Ginger 👏.....Nice to hear her side of the story. I will get round to reading her book for sure. Keep them coming 👍🙏.....
Bee Happy* it's a great read
@@mattieg681 thanks
How crappy for Ginger, losing Elvis and her husband Ron ON THE SAME DAY!! That for surely is a heartbreaking day for her year after year...sad
Agree.
No way I was going to ask her to recount the events again
I think the tragic thing about Ginger Alden is that the two men she truly
loved died young and the same day.
It's great that she remembers the good times.
I read Ginger's book quite a while ago. I found it to be down to earth and she speaks of soo much love for Elvis. She must be sooo tired of all the lies that have been told about her. Another 'top' interview Steve. I have been waiting a long time for you to interview Ginger; well done!
Thanks for your support Dot...it's much appreciated
ginger is a liar there was no wedding elvis called it off he did not want to marry her or her family
@@gassbaggerwoods5955 YOU are wrong! George Klein said on the radio that ELVIS was very excited about his upcoming marriage to Ginger!
@@dotfoster5626 NO i am not wrong! maybe at the time george reported elvis was, but later he changed his mind.
@@gassbaggerwoods5955 You are definitely wrong. I am a friend of one of ELVIS' friends who will remain unnamed, and he said ELVIS definitely DID plan to marry Ginger. Amen!
God bless you Ginger!! I really enjoyed this interview.🙏🙏
Ginger and Steve, many thanks for the great Interview ❣
You're welcome Marion
What a really great interview! I just ordered her book. Please have Ginger back again, sometime. It was very pleasant and comforting to listen to her memories.
Jan Ginger has a Facebook page she was selling the book and signing it as well 👌
Thanks. I'll check it out.
@@Magnusboi still making money off Elvis
@susie...why are you trolling everyone? Priscilla has made $200 MILLION off of Elvis. She was sleeping with her dance instructor (by her own admission) only 3 months after she had Lisa. Stop with the superiority. You sound ridiculous.
Ginger is a very sweet humble person, I love her book. I'm surprised that I am just seeing this great interview. Tyvm Steve and Ginger 💖TCE ⚡⚡⚡
Thanks Michael
I too found Ginger to be a lovely person
Thank you Ginger you're a lovely person. I haven't heard anything negative from you about Elvis. Stay safe.
no not negative my eye jst lies ! saying she and elvis dicussed wedding plans the night he died , thats lies elvis called it off he changed his mind months before he died so why would he be planning a wedding ? there was no wedding !
@@gassbaggerwoods5955 - get over it, they were to wed, it was the real deal. Calling her a liar, based on what you just made up that he called off the wedding is in fact what is the lie. There is no such reference anywhere that he called of the wedding.
@@tdiio7998 up until elvis changed his mind which was months before he died , i have not made anything up both larry & charlie said elvis changed his mind , i never knew about that til i watched that video was a surprise to me to hear it so if the wedding was off then she did lie saying they set the date elvis called it off !! there is a reference its a video on here and if i find it i will post the link to you , and anyway there were many including his cousin billy smith that said he would never marry again he told billy he wouldn't
@Koletti Pireaus yes many have said he was never going to marry ginger , and when many say the same thing its generally the truth , his own cousin said he told him he would never marry again no i don't know better or claim to i jst do my research weigh up the facts and go with that
@Koletti Pireaus The Family ( Billy Smith ) is your source ??? __Here is what I do no for sure and what everyone that loves Elvis knows. And this is fact. Elvis Presley's Dad, riddance Billy Smith, along with his wife and children off the grounds of Graceland soon after Elvis passed. Your source for what you do know in regards to Ginger, comes from cousin "Billy Smith" the family as you state. Now I don't about your definition of Family, but for me, Vernon sure had to know something bad, about Billy his son's cousin, the family to riddance him off the grounds of Graceland. And Vernon also wanted the Furniture. For me this so telling of the value of what Billy Smith speaks negative in regards to Ginger, which equates to a man that lost his place in the hierarchy and and entitlement status to Ginger. This is a man, Elvis Presley first cousin, Billy who drew up a testament of trust with Elvis, where they would never hurt each other, and what did Billy do after Elvis passes he humiliates Elvis with his personal and opinionated base recollect of how bad Ginger was for Elvis. This is woman who Elvis dearly loved enough to want to marry. He also speaks tales of personal habits of Elvis, that really was not necessary other than ridicule Elvis his cousin the Family. Vernon was no fool, he knew, who was Genuine with his Son. And that goes for Charlie Hodge as well, riddance of he grounds of Graceland. Let's erase the bullshats of the pass in regards to Elvis and to the Woman "Ginger" who he loved dearly to marry.
One classy lady!!! A really great interview Steve!!!!! Thanks!!!
Excellent interview Steve! It was very sympathetic and heartfelt in nature. Congrats! 👍🏻❤️ TCB⚡️🕺🏻
Very kind Thank you
Good to hear from you Ginger! you are a true respectful young lady not moving in to his home right away like all the others, unlike Percilla whos Dad sold her out (just saying). Please keep speaking Miss Ginger and thank you.
Elvis told his dad he didn't want to marry her and his friends as well ,funny that the engagement never came out because elvis didn't want to marry her ,this is well known that he said it to his dad and friends joe Esposito and others ,it suits her to say he asked her then he passes away ,he asked other girls to to get engaged lol ah well another book sold
@Willie Desmond
Seems like every woman Elvis slept with was "the one", yet he wasn't faithful to any of them, he especially wasn't true to himself.
Priscilla, whom he supposedly "dearly loved", to keep her, he married her, presented her with a dream life / lifestyle, she had his child, yet he'd board a plane, go on tour and sleep with anyone he chose. Then return home to an eventually suspicious wife.
I still feel for all the woman Elvis hooked up with, all young, innocent, and truly in awe over the king, as though they were someone special to him.
Of course they were, until he set his eyes on someone else.
I had no idea the extent of his womanizing ways.
It's disgusting actually.
That was an awesome interview!!
Thanks Lynda
Hi Steve,
What a great interview, you really got a big one there.

Such a class act in your approach to interviews Steve !!
Very kind.Thank you
This book is very good. When you love Elvis you love this book. Thank you Mrs Alden
She sounds such a classy woman. Great interview Steve did a great job I do this for a living very professional. Ginger is a class act .
Very kind of you to say that...thanks for your support
Np you did a excellent job Elvis can be a very touchy subject to interview
I interviewed Priscilla here in Vancouver Canada about 9 years ago for a promotion she was doing went very well
You have to be careful when you ask questions to the people that were involved in his life . Very nice
Hi Steve,
What a Great interview😊
My favourite one you’ve done so far!!
What a Treat!! Ginger is so nice❤️I respect you Steve for not asking Ginger about August 16th.😢Thank you Steve🙏😊Stay safe❤️
Love this Ginger! Thanks for sharing the truth with us!
I respect the fact that. Ginger didn't run and write a book that she waited 38 years to do so. So many people he loved wasted no time in writing one or even putting things ln documentories or interviews that didn't need to be put out especially by those he loved an d trusted. During the time right after his death there were those in his inner circle that were so angry with him for dying that they told things they wish they could take back. I am glad to hear. Ginger say that he had happy days in his last months.. The health problems alone the insomnia the book wold put anybody ln bad place. I am so glad that he had good days at the end. Elvis lived an exceptional life but pald a high price to have lived it. And boy did he.live it. I enjoy your interviews and your podcasts . thanks for keeping the greatest entertainer of all time in the spotlight.
Thanks for this steve the best interview yet my friend . Tcb aways
Thank you....very kind
Thanks for the support
I could’ve listened to that chat for another hour Steve..it was really relaxed & as she felt comfortable with you she spoke very openly. It’s just incredible to imagine that she laid by his side & shared his life..it’s mind blowing! Her honest nature in the interview reflected what she was like in her book. Lovely...Thanks Steve 🤴🏻⚡️🎼

More people need to listen to what Ginger says about Elvis in his last nine months of his life and stop believing the unfair lies that continue to be said about this lovely man. Thank you Ginger, for loving Elvis, for your decency ,and for doing your best to set the record straight .
We all love Elvis..and what to hear the good about him..but there were the not so good things about him,which I think we she also hear about to see what if that was true or false..and I do wonder with Ginger said Elvis proposed in the January but introduced her as his GF ..and billy Smith said he was taking some other girl on his last tour..what was Gingers answer to that? Sorry I havnt read her book .
@@tinafoley2229 yes, Ginger didn't want to go on the first part of the tour. I wrote previously that Elvis took Alicia instead, but that was not correct. I got it confused because Elvis DID take Alicia to Las Vegas in April 1977, 4 months before he died. Billy and Jo knew Alicia and talk about her in one of their videos. I was curious about her so I just bought the book "Elvis and Alicia," just received it though, haven't had time to read it yet. I feel like she's kind of forgotten and I'm glad she now has a voice, so to speak.
@@katgirlblue Alicia Kerwin never attended an Elvis concert. She never went on tour with him. According to her testimony in the Dr Nick trial, she wasn’t even interested in Elvis.
@@giulia473 Alicia was interested enough in him to accept a new car from him and she could have had the decency to be just a little upset that the man died.

Very good interview Steve..
keep up the good work!!
Thank you James
Great interview with Ginger, thanks Steve. I have Ginger's book among a few other books about Elvis, but without a doubt, Ginger's book is the absolute best on Elvis and her life together, ever. There are a lot of lies out there and Ginger has done a good job debunking all the crap some people seem to want to say about her and Elvis, none of it true. I'm also a member of the Elvis and Ginger support groups on Facebook. I certainly recommend the one book to buy above all others is Elvis & Ginger by Ginger Alden. I had never seen this side of Elvis so beautifully portrayed by anyone before.
You don't know what is true and what's not true only your opinion which is not fact .
Thank you Steve enjoying your interviewing with ginger. Keep up the great work
Had a great time going to Graceland for the first time last August 2020. Due to the limited
Amount of people allowed to go inside the house at a time. Was kinda of cool. Was only
Three of us at one point of time in Graceland . Thanks again Steve...
You're welcome
I am planning this august to go back again to Memphis. If your ever in the states please
Let me know. I will be your guild if needed. Thanks again Joseph

When I look at photos of Ginger when she was with Elvis, there is such a resemblance to Priscilla. Anyway, she seems like a very lovely woman, intelligent and classy. I must read her book. Thank you for this interview. I am just discovering Elvis since I saw the movie about him.
So glad this beautiful lady of grace was able to tell her story. I bet from the second Elvis was cold, the vultures were taking control, pushing this girl out. Sadly since they weren't married, she had no legal rights. I hope she was able to at least take the gifts and memories she shared with him.
Priscilla was the one able to capitalize on the Presley name because she had his only living heir. Am very surprised as much as this man “shared the love” that there hasn't been more kids come out of the woodwork.
Elvis was smart enough to take "precautious." Because I am sure there are plenty of women out there who be willing to have his child.
GINGER is grace , class, and Southern Charm.
Lovely interview Steve, I really enjoyed listening, best wishes to Ginger & her family and thanks to Ginger for sharing sum memories,, lucky lady ❤️
Great interview with Ginger, loved how she talks very respectfully of him and she talked highly of him, ! I still love how both Ginger and Linda show their love and admiration of the King 😎♥️♥️
An old friend of mine if related to Ginger Alden and attended the funeral of their grandfather and she took some pics of Elvis and Ginger together. He was wearing a large brown fur coat with matching hat.
Very nice & informative interview! One thing I can say about Ginger speaking of Elvis, it's expressed with love & respect for him; and for that I can applaud her sincerity. I still wish there would have been some mention of the occurrences surrounding
Elvis' passing & the lawsuit against his estate, with her own voice, rather than words on a page in her book. Nevertheless, I like her perspective & I think she has evolved nicely from when we first learned of her at age 20. Beautiful inside & out. Great questions & transparency. 👍👍
You can buy the audiobook where Ginger narrates it.
Steve this is so interesting, you have a natural talent you coukd easily be a journalist on mainstream media
Thanks...very kind Scott

Thanks for your support
Steve
Wow great interview! ⚡️
Thanks Ashley
Regardless what has been wrote or said Ginger was there and she has the facts.
I am so glad I watched this interview. So much respect for her open answers and truth about her and how she knew Elvis. I have been watching a lot of interviews, etc and had the opinion Elvis really got used and abused. I feel Elvis deserved so much more, hindsight is always the best. Proud of her to tell her story, she matters and her relationship with Elvis was precious. Love this girl.
she did not know elvis , she was bearly with him a few months and was hardly there wat could she have learned about him priscilla & linda knew more , yes such a precious relationship that elvis changed his mind and did not want to marry her months before he died didn't stop her lying about setting the date the night he died , she is a liar!!
@@gassbaggerwoods5955 that is so true Elvis DID not want to marry her as she goes about saying she need to tell the truth and stop LYING and stop making money out of her lies , shameful lady no class !
@@susiemitchell8555 agreed
@@gassbaggerwoods5955 yes Elvis he did not want to marry her he was not deeply in love with her I think he did not like her as much in the end
there was no truth from ginger she lied about setting the wedding date there was no wedding elvis called it of months before he died he sure was used by the aldens how dare they sue elvis and his family like vernon needed that on top of his grief jst lost his son and has to deal with the courts jst cos they wanted money and more of it , how dare they do that to elvis , should have had more respect for him and dropped it who does that to a dead man !!? yes elvis deserved way better than he got with the aldens elvis was done with ginger she wasn't giving him wat he needed doubt he saw the relationship as precious!
I just stumbled upon your channel . Great interview! I loved her book.

WOW!! This interview with lovely Ginger Alden was so good! Would you please ask Ginger if Elvis’s eyes were green or blue? I have seen many home movies where they appear green, yet in other photos, his eyes appear blue. Thankyou very much! 🌹🎶
Elvis described his own eye colour as blue green.
Elvis had unique eye color that changed according to mood or colors he was wearing. My mother's eyes were like that. They appeared to be hazel, but at times turned blue or a blue green.
Fantastic interview! It’s been so many years and a lot of different stories from other members of Elvis’s entourage it’s hard to discern what is true, false, manufactured or simply lies. Ginger was so young at the time she was with Elvis that I have a hard time what to believe anymore! Not really sure if it matters anymore, but I found it very interesting to hear her side! Elvis was such a complex person and he was in poor health during their time together. The only person who knows the entire truth is Elvis and sadly he’s not here to tell us what was really happening in his life..thank you for sharing this with us it gives another perspective about his life, I only wish he was here to tell us the way it was!
@@pattynuzzello9035 I don't feel that every single person only cared about the money they would get from their book. Some people seem very sincere and would like to convey how it was to be with Elvis. Linda seems very sincere to me, and also the book Elvis and the Memphis Mafia was excellent; they tell all sides, good, bad, and everything in between. I'd love to read DJ Fontana's book but it's out of print and hard to get. People don't really make big time money from books. It's a lot like acting, there are very few who are superstars among the thousands who do it.
ginger lied about elvis he called the wedding off he did not want to marry her
@@pattynuzzello9035 obviously elvis would know what his intentions where because they were his ,just like anybody's intentions only they know them stating the obvious
Steve, what a wonderful interview with Ginger. She is very grand I think she a sincere lady. Thanks again Steve. Keep up all the good work. 💟
Thanks Nancy
100% agree Nancy and Kendall
Very nice interview! So happy to hear someone who truly cared about Elvis. So sad that her husband died on the anniversary of Elvis' death. What are the odds!?!
Lovely and Sensitive ❤️ Interview She was an angel
Thanks.Glad you enjoyed it
We would like to hear more about Vernon!!
What a wonderful job on the interview. Lots of feelings from Ginger on the responses to some good questions.I've bought her book, when it first came out, and she really does seem so creditable on all the
issues. I was looking for sincererity and honesty ( if you can get that through reading a book ? ) . And in my
opinion, she has really been a champion on all the issues.
I'd love to get to Memphis in August to meet and hear her one night show. She part of Elvis' life and should be
treated with great respect. But it could be a difficult night too. Her and Pricilla, Im told dont get along and she mentioned in this interview, that she'd be happy to speak to Lisa. Im surprised that hasn't happen over these past 40 years. Something is not right with that ?
Great interview and Thanks for posting. I know all the Elvis fans really appreciate all the work that goes into this type of project
Thanks Steve
Your positive comments make all the effort worthwhile
Did you see a tear....??
@@MJ-0711 Did I see a tear ? Dont know what you mean ?
Another great interview Steve. The more I hear the more intrigued I am. Thankyou
Thanks Den
Classy interview. Classy lady easy to see what Elvis loved about Ginger. Her book is the final piece of the jigsaw for me. Thank you Steve this is the business enjoyed it enormously.
Glad you enjoyed it Paul
You are right on point.
It's in the book by Sally Hoedel.

Learning things alot of people didn't know.
