- Larry Geller is well known as one Hollywood's biggest celebrity hairdressers. In this interview he talks about how he pioneered the industry with Jay Sebring and how he met his best friend, Elvis Presley.
Wow - what a life, and how fortunate to hear this mans story.
Jay Sebring was a great pioneer in men's hair styling. As a female, my hair stylist Dale Richards at The Designers in Newton, NC (a Sebring Certified Salon) followed the layered styling created by Jay Sebring. I chose to curl my otherwise straight hair, but this layered style gave plenty of opportunity for various hair styles. I must say the Sebring shampoo and conditioner is the best I've ever used to date (11/4/23). I used it as long as I could purchase it into the 2000's decade when I purchased it from a Las Vegas location, until they ran out of product and it was no longer available. Had Jay not been murdered, the product line and certified salons would have expanded and still be in effect today. We know you thru your years with Elvis; his hair always looked great....no wonder, you were Sebring Certified. Thanks Larry.
There are not many left who can tell a story of being with Elvis and living in his world, Larry has always spoken with love and respect for Elvis and I am grateful to him for that. Thanks for this upload.
I Love Larry- He really loved Elvis and is leaves you spellbound when he tells stories about the Elvis days. Watch the one in Palm Springs at the home Elvis used to rent. Also his book about he and Elvis's friendship is one of my favorites.
EP was should have received many Grammy’s but the music industry was stupid.
Charles Manson lived with Elvis at his Belaire mansion. Larry introduced Presley to the occult.
@@Jim_Harwood I think you got that information wrong, Manson was found intruding in the property of Elvis and ejected. Manson made claims so ridiculous in subsequent years that he lived with Elvis, simply false and it is scary to think how close a crazed psycho got to Elvis given what was to occur and is now horrific history.
They're all scumbags who used Elvis every last one of them
a joy to see he is still around and to see this new interview. 🎉
My peace and love be sent to Mr Geller. You are the perfect spiritual friend and guide. May your search find answers, you will remain in the heart of Elvis forever.
Larry, you are awesome and I love listening to you talk
So Good to See Larry is Still Here!!! He Seems Well. Good to Hear Him.
Elvis was searching, so was Larry. Im glad they were friends. Elvis needed more friends like Larry.
I agree! His soul needed someone like that SO BAD
Thank you Larry. God sent you to him. XXXXXX I am born raised Africa. Your book is my Favourite book ....
A true treasure and a true authentic friend to Elvis Presley.
Hi Larry! I love your stories!❤
This makes me think of something I heard not long after Elvis passed away. I was at my aunt's home in S.C. when her sister stopped by on a Sunday morning to invite us to go to church with her. She said the preacher's sermon that day would be "Seven reasons why Elvis went to heaven." We declined the offer and I never learned what those seven reasons were. 😇
He went. You can feel his absolute LOVE of the Lord.
i love Elvis gospel cd they are so moving you can feel the holy spirit in his voice such great memories this man has
So sweet Larry and Elvis..
I have always loved and trusted Larry Gellar
Is there more to this interview? I’d love to watch the full interview with Larry Geller. His book about Elvis is one of my favourite.
Wonderful story. I especially find emotional the part where Elvis asks why he was plucked from all the millions of people to be Elvis Presley. A moving question, that's for sure.
He asked everyone that question. It's written in all of his favorite books and in his Bibles margin.
Love you, Larry. ⚡️
Beautiful ❤
Cam anyone ask Mr Geller why was Elvis so worried and upset the night he go back from dentist??! Please ❤
Another Elvis legend seems a lovely guy as well 👑👑👑👑🇬🇧👍
❤ Have you figured out why we're here, Larry, you put this on Elvis's shoulders you've lived at. What do you think we're here for?
Where did this interview come from? I have never seen it before. Love it.
Would there be longer version?
Is there a longer version of this interview? I'd love to see it!
Got to love Larry❤
Larry have cool memories of elvis must so cool look back at
I still have a few bottles of Larry's hair care products
Is it just me or does Larry sound different here I can't figure it out
I thought so too.
Yes he does... It's called Ageing.
"I am the Way, the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through Me." -Jesus Christ
Where is the longer one, please?
Larry dyed Elvis' hair black
Is Larry homeless now? Judging by his appearance he is not looking after himself. Is he married? What was his deal?
@@alstrada1 Thanks for that update. Not too much was ever known about Larry. And Al, it's nice to see that you keep up with some of the old crew, including Mindi. Any other news you can share? Hope you're doing well.
👌🌹✨💫
WTF happened to him?
Well, he is 84 years old
I don’t believe a word this man says about Elvis! He has been caught too many times lying.
@riseharris5294: I agree with you 💯 percent Larry Geller is a nobody who could not tell the truth if death faced him head on. Larry Geller likes people to believe he was Elvis official hair stylist Elvis never had an official hair stylist. Sometimes Charlie hodge would do Elvis hair other times JD would do Elvis hair other times Elvis first cousin Billy Smith would do Elvis hair. Larry Geller is trying to make out he is something he is not, that's why Elvis father Vernon, parker and every member of the Memphis Mafia hated him.
@@James-d1k4jWow, is that true, I never heard of these allegations?
Was Larry gay?
@@kyree410 No one knows for 💯 percent, I always thought he was, however I could be totally wrong.
Maybe they washed his hair , I don’t believe J.D. and Charlie styled hair 😏
Larry is a kook and makes crap up
He looks weak...
His book was terrible.
Very cool!
So glad to know he's still alive and well
Why?
He is alive, barely! 😊
I’m very close friends with Larry’s son and I can say he is as lovely a man as his father is. He’s been as an amazing and creative inspiration to me as Elvis was to Larry.
Tell Larry Elvis' 3rd cousin says hello and thank you for being a good friend ❤❤
Vivo apenas ajala usted durara lo que este señor@@johnpanagiotopoulos8539
I love this man! He was such a good friend to Elvis!! He was a stable influence in his life!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Always a treat to hear Larry's stories, and yes, it's good to see he is alive and well. And no one sang gospel like Elvis, that's for sure.
Amen! ❤
God bless Larry.
I love Larry Geller for one simple reason. He was/is one of the very few who has never betrayed Elvis or tried to profit from him. How many others in Elvis's orbit can you say that about? God bless you Larry.
Relay? So he didn’t write a book about Elvis then 😂
God bless you,Larry!
@@martinuk777 He didn't betray him. That was the point.
I had sent Larry an email about 15 years ago. He personally replied back to me with a beautiful message. He’s a fine gentleman!
That’s nice
How did you find his email?
@@angelahess9442 are you the same Angela Hess from the Kings Court?
@@jeffreyjohn1691 no.
Larry’s getting up there. Hope he’s well. There’s not many of them left.
💔
Larry was a rock for Elvis , and he needed him. Too many leaches were around Elvis, but that was all he had. Elvis isolated himself. Way to much for anyone to live a life in the open. He had to keep them all around with $$$, and what it could buy. We all loved Elvis, but who would want to live that life? Not I ...
I guess Larry was in the wright place at the wright time what an interesting life.
"Wright"?
Elvis Presley is a legend
Man...I hope Larry does many, many, many more interviews. This was terrific.
Elvis would be happy to know his gospel albums saved and inspired me many times, through some of the darkest days of my life, particularly after losing my father to cancer during the pandemic. I was on the verge of leaving this cruel world, Elvis’s voice and words brought me through it. 👑
So very sorry for your loss. 🙏🏻♥️
please listen to how great thou art pastor bob joyce feb. 19th 2023 TLC
@@davemitchell1323 I have also heard it,absolutely amazing.
@@dallasbathtubrefinishing I lost both my parents within 3 years,the pain is something i couldnt have gotten through without God.
Lost both my parents in 3 years,im so sorry for your heart.
❤ I am glad he still with us
God bless Larry Geller. He was very close to Elvis and understood him. To be spiritually close to someone is special. Thank you Larry for sharing the great stories of your journey together with Elvis all the years you have. I hope to meet you next year when I come to California.
This man you can tell loved elvis and he's always talked respectfully about him ❤
Larry is one of my favorites of Elvis’ friends. A soulful person. So glad he is with us! ❤
Love this ❤
Mr.Geller, I have listened to and sang with that album all my life. In fact, its sitting right here beside me. God didnt pluck Elvis from among people. God gave the people one of his great creations ❤, Elvis. I guess maybe Elvis didn't realize how truly charismatic and Beautiful he was , and amazingly talented. Thanks for sharing with us, God bless 🙏 ( I just had to retire from doing hair nearly 40 years! , I can only imagine what a wonderful opportunity you had 😉).
Larry used to cut my friends hair back in the day, then ELVIS rang him and that was it .
PS I loved listening to what you had to say Larry , infact you blew me away with everything you were talking about, the conversations you and ELVIS must have had over the years. Hang in there Larry .
Always enjoy listening to Larry. He's aged since I last saw him.
We've ALL aged, thank God I'm vertical and living . Important is Faith, Family, Friends. Toast a glass of Wine at the end of the day.
This man did fantastic styling of Elvis's hair. Elvis had the best hair.
Hey Larry, i hope everything is good and you're feeling ok because you've always been quite dapper and never let yourself go, so dont start now. Youve kept The Man himself looking sharp, so get yourself back on track because you can look 20-years younger, you have the skills😊👍
Thank you Larry for all the years you have been sharing stories about the most charismatic singer entertainer and humanitarian ever. No one today can match his brilliance & you were there to help & witness it. God bless you !
Great to hear Larry again. Glad to know he's still around. He truly cared for El.
Beautiful memories, great spiritual album by Elvis Presley ❤️.
Sad he is getting older. One of Elviss real friends..
Aren't we all getting older?
May god bless you Larry ❤
Good to see you Larry❤
Take care Larry hugs
Elvis' Good Friend. God Bless Larry G.
It is obvious that Elvis was such a deep thinker
There are only 3 members of Memphis mafia who are still living Larry gellar, jerry schilling and billy smith.
Larry has always been respectful and a true friend 👏🏻👏🏻
I just love listening to Larry Geller’s stories! He tells them with such great passion and conviction. I could listen to him for hours talk about Elvis! Thank you to whomever did this interview and thank you for putting this story in your post!! Love it!❤
One of the nicest guys. I've met him many years ago here in Vienna, Austria at an exclusive Elvis Fan Meeting!
Gemein, wie erfährt man sowas?😢😝
@@ingridjelinek7889 da braucht es 100 Jahre und mehr als Elvis Fan 😄 LOL, war im Zuge (nicht in einem Abteil der ÖBB oder DBB) eines lieben und engagiertern weiblichen Elvis-Fan die das Meeting in einer der schönsten Wiener Innenstadt Bar organisiert hat. Es war echt erlebenswert, manche Ereignisse dieses Abend behalte ich aber für mich😉 ...LOL
I am riveted listening to this story! I’ve seen interviews of Larry Geller, and he always comes across as being so genuine! Thank you for sharing this! ☮️🖖🏽
Es bueno saber que a pesar de Priscilla aprovechada y parker que oara mi son iguales... Existen todavía amigos de verdad del Rey ... Dios le bendiga. Gracias por decir la verdad sobre el Rey
Mr Geller sir it’s always a pleasure to listen to you
I love listening to his stories with Elvis. You get to hear things from his perspective that others hadn't.
I love Larry; he’s one of the very last ones left. I hope he’s well.
I met Larry during Elvis week in Memphis 1998….. my buddy Tony and I spoke to him for an hour across the street from Graceland….. he is one of the most peaceful, calm and spiritual person I have ever spoken to….. after an hour he made us feel we’ve known him for years….
Mr. Geller was a true friend to Elvis. I'm so glad I watched this video. It's proof positive that Elvis was a Christian. Even through the wickedness he came in contact with in H'wood and becoming addicted, he never turned his back on Jesus and he expressed it so well in his gospel music. It was his true love of all the music he did. He was all about helping people out.This was so inspiring! Rest in peace with the Lord sweet Elvis.💖✝
I think EVERYONE should read " Destined to die young" & DR Forrest Tennants (World renowned Neurologists, was present at all 4 of Elvis Autopsies, was the state hired Medical Expert for Dr Nichopoulos trial VS the Tennessee medical board & The State of Tennessee wrongful death trial. He is the only person who has has Elvis ENTIRE medical files from Birth to death, has written hundreds of medical articles in the New England Medical journal on Elvis, podcasts, blogs all with Dr Nick & was the Medical Expert also hired in Howard Hughes 1970's trial, and STILL practices medicine). Elvis had MAJOR health problems from birth. There is WAY more to that story. His mom, Grandma Doll & 6 of his 8 uncles all died in their 40's. Elvis suffered 4 traumatic brain injuries the last being in 1967. He tripped over a television cord in the bathroom and he was unconcious for over 8hrs before he was found! According to his medical records and everyone around him he was never the same. He suffered from massive migraines and developed glaucoma hence the shades you start seeing in 1969. It's what made his eyes water on stage so much. According to his autopsy findings a piece of his brain tissue was jarred loose passing thru his brain barrier. His body began attacking it like a foreign substance and lead to an Autoimmune inflammatory disorder. Then his body began to attack itself. In 1967 they had NO CLUE about Brain Injuries and just how they affect the body. They noted on his medical records at the time that he had 'post concussion syndrome'. By 1970 Elvis was having major problems with his memory , remembering lyrics and names, severe body aches & chronic pain. His joints and limbs, even his lower spine to the point he started using a cane. He wouldn't do Karate as much on stage and he started needing much stronger medications. By 1971 he was seeing 13 specialists trying to diagnose exactly what was causing so many ailments. They had NO MRI's or CT scans, only XRays!
He took perscriptions to deal with his Genetic health problems (now we know found at all 4 Autopsys), his enlarged paralyzed colon, Glaucoma, Antitrypsin Deficiency, a condition which can result in lung and/or liver disease both of which he had severely at the time of his death. Elvis was never a smoker or drinker. He had Together with the immune system disorder, hypogammaglobulinemia, which plagued Elvis all his life and caused him to constantly fight various infections. His “inherited” weak heart, reactive arthritis, and the impact of his nocturnal lifestyle, resulting in a lack of vitamin D, the effects of which contributed to respiratory infections, reduced immune function, and inflammation. He had Cytochrome disease a defect in his CYP2D6 gene that can convert Coedine into Morphine in the body. Which is why he developed Cushings Disease. He had spinal blocks in 1975 in his spine which caused Cushings. He stopped breathing and was placed into the hospital, his face, and Abdomen were huge and would never fully go down. The press was calling him fat, but he was so sick. Only a handful of people knew what really was going on. Dr Forrest Tennant a world leading Neurologists was given all Elvis medical files and was at all 4 autopsies. He represented Elvis Dr Nick Nichopoulos at his trial in the State of Tennessee & against the Medical Board. He was the specialists in Howard Hughes Medical Trial too. He had written a book on this, numerous blogs, medical journal contributions, and even a podcast. He is still practicing medicine and talks openly about how this lead EXACTLY to Elvis death. People are still repeating the same uneducated guesses that 4 autopsies have disproven and medical science keeps proving were wrong.
Of the 11 bodily systems that operate to keep us alive and hopefully healthy. Critically, Elvis suffered disease or disorder in nine of them! And five were present from birth and pre his fame. His heart (circulatory system), his lungs (respiratory system), and his bowels (digestive/excretory systems) required medication. Insomnia affected his nervous system……His immune system was compromised. His urinary system was not functioning properly. At one point there was even talk of dialysis.
Often he is dismissed as just another rock ‘n’ roll drug addict. He wasn't taking street drugs. He was taking perscriptions not to "ESCAPE" he was taking them to try to maintain some sense of normalcy as himself in a time where the medical field was limited. No DNA, Genetics, No MRI's, little known about the addiction, his dystrophy & No understanding of Vitamin D even.
Looking at the illnesses and disorders, that mounted upon each other over the decades, it’s no coincidence that Elvis’ prescription drug use increased as his health declined. From ear infections to chronic tonsilitis to recurrent flus to eye infections and glaucoma…..these arguably insignificant ailments independently, grew into something more. As his body broke down, alongside multiple immune system disorders and genetic complications, prescription medication and his handy PDR tried to fill the gaps. When that no longer worked, hospital stays became the norm and his list of ailments grew.
The sicker he got, the more prescriptions he was prescribed. He was seeing a cardiologist before he bought Graceland. He was 20yrs old. They have gone through Elvis's entire life of medical records & now have an entire different story now. This is all the facts Geraldo & 20/20 never stated. He accidentally took the Codine the dentist's gave him that night due to the volume found in his blood at autopsy. His Genetic condition of Cytochrome Disease of his CYP2D6 defect caused his Coedine to build up in toxic levels to which he was deathly allergic to. He had been hospitalized twice before and had stopped breathing on a previous flight from. It caused his massively enlarged heart that was already failing to stop. His heart was 3 times a natural size weighing 520grams. It was missed in all 3 of his last medical visits. It had given him problems from records stating ATLEAST age 19. Hastened along by an rich Southern diet & an Autoimmune inflammatory disorder poor Elvis didn't stand a chance. Science wasn't even to the point where they could have helped him.
There is a book over 300+ pages called The Best of Elvis: Reflections of a Great Humanitarian by Cindy Hazen & Mike Freeman, it tells the story.He Donated the funds to have ST Jude built so every child with Cancer gets free treatment - even today, He bought LBJ's presidential yacht and auctioned to fund ST Jude, He donated the money to complete The Kennedy Art & Music Center in memory of JFK and declined to be the first to play as the founding member because he didn't want to seem political, donated the funds for the USS Arizona in Hawaii to remember all the lives lost on DDay, ended the Polio Epidemic inspiring 86% of America's youth, He funded 500,000 European Refugees food, housing & relocation via Red Cross Donations. He funded an entire trauma wing at Midsouth memorial so 4 states had a Trauma one care, donated 300+ Cadillac alone, 300+ brick homes, thousands of funerals, chemo treatments, millions of individual gifts of Jewelry, clothes, instruments, animals, make a wish were at every concert, hospital visits, spent every night outside his home in Memphis, Beverly Hills & LA signing autographs, in 1950's he even let fans that came from out of town CAMP ON HIS LAWN IN TENTS, He bought his childhood home in Tupelo and built a childs recreation center for poor kids, He signed autographs and gave fans tours at all the movie studios, concerts for Cancer fundraising, hurricane & tornado relief every year from 1956-77, donated to the same 55 MAJOR charities since the year he signed his 1956 contract even now every year 45yrs after his death. He gave away 86% of his ENTIRE lifetime GROSS earnings! Never wrote one donation off on his taxes despite being in the 95% income bracket. Giving was his tithing for Jesus. He said the more he gave, the more God blessed him.
What a gem. One of EP's remaining rare genuine friends.Thank you for sharing 💯⚡❤
one of his rare genuine friends period - most others were there to take what they could get (he prob had about 4 genuine ones out of the lot of them - wee Charlie obviously)
should add I mean with all the hangers on - not ones like Sammy Davis, Lee Majors or James Brown, who were all genuine
Not many of the guys left now let's hope Larry stays around for a few more years,
Larry is a stand up man. Always truthfully and respectfully spoken of Elvis. Thank you, Mr Geller for your kindness to Elvis and us. Merry Christmas 🎄 and Happy New Year. All the very best for 2024 😊
Such a shame that father time gets to all of us.
What a wonderful and fascinating interview that was. Very powerful. As far as Elvis' album "How Great Thou Art," one of the songs on there was written by Mylon Lefevre who just passed away a couple months ago.
Larry that one person was me. Elvis how great thou art album brought me to JESUS.
What does Larry think about Priscilla new movie making Elvis look bad
good question
Always find Larry fascinating to listen to....as did Elvis.....
Larry's a class act. He was loyal to Elvis (and The Colonel hated him for it). Thanks for always being true blue to the king.
At one point the Colonel forbade Elvis to have this guy around. Colonel Parker thought Larry had too much influence on Elvis.
Parker was right
Wow, so good to see Mr. Geller again. Its been awhile since i came across a video from this legend. By the way, Elvis won a grammies for the three Gospel Albums he would make.
thank you larry , you may want to tell these people about Pastor Bob Joyce . do you still do his hair ?
His stories have never changed throughout the years. Can't say the same for some others that surrounded him. He had a few very good friends and women. Too bad he never weeded out the wrong ones. His legacy could have been celebrated rather than dragged through the mud. Vicki
Right 👏🏻
And leech Pricilla IS STILL living off a man who’s dead & to whom she divorced over 50 yrs ago!
You nailed that one! I'm feeling that and with you all the way!!! 🫡
💯%
I admire Larry. Bless this man
I just bought my co worker Elvis Gospel hits for her birthday.
Watching this reminds me of how precious life is!
I think Larry may have forgotten that Elvis cut a gospel album in 1960 called His Hand In Mine which in my humble opinion was far superior vocally to How Great Thou Art.👑👑👑👑👑
Always love hearing Elvis stories!,...they never get old!...Elvis surly was a special gift from God
You are a Very Humble Person & YOU DESERVED THE PRIVILEGE OFF DOING ELVIS’S HAIR & ELVIS WAS PRIVILEGED TO HAVE YOU DO SO👌🌞🌝🌞💚🇮🇪🙏
Thank you so much for sharing!
I love that gospel album 🙏🏻
