Elvis was a sweet and kind person. People here talking down about him clearly don't know anything about him maybe a song or two, but nothing about the man.
I was at home in Bellwood, Il. when my neighbor came downstairs and told me to turn on my T.V. We watched the news telling us Elvis died! We cried and decided to go to the bar next door to have a beer. Well that turned out to be a few hours before my husband came to get me. I was a mother of 2 little boys, so I did not have money to go to Memphis for the funeral. I watched all the news clips tho and cried forever. I am now 62 years old and still pine for Elvis! Sad huh??? He will always be the one and only REAL LOVE of my life.
I' m 54 and I know exactly where I was when I heard he died. My mother was in the kitchen cooking dinner. My Dad and brother had gone to the country to visit my grandmother. I was on the couch watching an old Star Trek rerun....when across the bottom of the t.v. screen it said Elvis had died. I immediately told my mother and the first thing she said..."oh, I don't believe that." She finally believed it when she saw it on the evening news.
As a white man, I know black ppl created all genres of music, little richard:creator of rock and roll, Elvis used to go to black Memphis clubs and copy their dances, that's why the older generation at that time hated him
Idk why people say Elvis hated the Beatles. Sure Elvis was worried about losing his title as king to a British band but that was purely competition not malicious in any way. Elvis very much liked the Beatles sound hence he recorded many of their songs. The Beatles agreed with this in one of their interviews
Do - Chcuk Berry, Fats Domino, Chubby Checker, Everly Brothers, Little Richard, Diana Ross, Ray Charles, Billy Joel, The Beatles, The Animals, The Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds, The Kinks, Queen, Pink Floyd, Genisis, Elton John, The Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, Hall&Oates, Fleetwood Mac, Frankie Vallie, the list goes on and on really. LONG LIVE THE KING!
Elvis's great-great-great-grandmother was Morning White Dove ( and she was a full-blooded Cherokee Indian. NO CONSPIRACY INVOLVED. Most likely where Elvis got his high cheekbones.
Elvis wasn't racists! he was the most generous man to have ever walked this planet! please do some research before chatting shit. Elvis gave away millions to charity throughout his life, paid for all his friends and family's houses, food, cars and many other stuff. He gave always 90,000 worth of cars to random people in a week whose cars broke down outside his house! TELL ME WHO ELSE WOULD DO THAT??!? He made millions and when he died he had 5 million in his bank and the reason for that is because he loved giving! he loved everyone! He was worked to death because Parker (his manger) had a gambling addiction, he was losing millions a night and the only way he would get the money back is by Elvis. Due to Elvis working his butt meaning he started taking medication and as with everything, when you have it lots the effect gets weaker so he took more, Elvis thought that if it was given by a doctor it was good for you! when it wasn't . Elvis was the kindest man this planet will ever see!
Omg you read some very bad info on Elvis before you completed this video.... There is so much more to Elvis... Plus his end was not solely drugs he was very ill... Don't mess with the King.... He changed music not many have ever done that.... Most records sold ever... Most number 1 hits omg.... Also your pronunciation of Tupelo and other... What about 1968 comeback show the 1973 Aloha concert and his 1972 madison square garden shows record breaking..... You left so so much positive out...
You got the wrong guy when you showed Bill Black and you completely looked over his 68 Special Comeback and his revival from 1969-1973 which included the world's most viewed concert of all time Aloha From Hawaii and a mention that he is the highest selling artist of all time in both singles and albums with 114 top 40 hits, twice as much as anyone else would have been nice too. Do an After They Were Dead for Elvis as well but please be more diligent about your information on him.
Right. Where do I start? It's difficult, I realise, to contain Elvis Presley's entire life in 10 minutes. I get that. But to dismiss Elvis' greatest performance, the 1968 NBC special without acknowledging its importance in terms of his life and career is nonsensical. It was vital in transforming him from a racing driver singing to dogs on the beach into one of the most relevant and vital live performers at that time. He needed it and this enabled him to stand up to Colonel Tom Parker's wishes (where is Parker in this video?) for the only time in his career. x
the legend is that Elvis' problem with drugs began while he was in the Army. He was an MP, and sometimes did overnight guard duty, so he began using downers to get sleep during the day, and uppers to stay awake for his duty.
Heard a mistake, the guy says that Elvis died in the year 1972 at 10:38, but it shows that he died in 1977 behind the anchorman announcing the news...so which is it, mate?
00:23 waaaaa, EMINEM *"picked up where elvis left off*"???? Was Eminem the next customer at a supermarket to pick up the same shopping trolley that Elvis had returned after finishing his shopping? . I'm sorry but Elvis is still very much remembered after all these years, and I don't think people remember Eminem to this day to the same degree. Also, Elvis' career spans two periods 1956 (RCA to 1960l and then 1968-70s, I don't think Eminem has ever resurfaced after the 1990s. Please elaborate if you disagree. I'm actually really curious.
Elvis was influenced by many Black Artists..many..he sure didn't sound like those people you mentioned other that the Black Artists..get it right Michael..I also like Elvis..I have documentaries..
I remember touring Sun studios years back, we heard there was a girl who licked the original microphone that's still on the set, to get Elvis's Dna lol
Elvis was the MAN How much more does he have prove 600,000 people go to his house 38 years later I never heard that Like Sammy Davis told Sinatra when ELVIS opened in Vegas in 1969 Frank his FIRST name goes up and THEY COME FROM ALL OVER THE WORld
Elvis never stole a song it was a cover! Not all songs where covers and some where written for him such as suspicious minds! Do some FUCKING RESEARCH! He changed every song and made it 10000x BETTER that's why he sold MORE than the ORIGINAL! 'if I CAN DREAM' sold more than 1 million copies from Dec 15 - Feb 16, that's something special! he died 39 years ago and still is selling more than artists who are alive, now haters keep hating but you are massively out numbered The KING will never die unlike the trash you listen to.
It wasn't August 16 1972!!!! You mean 1977!!!
And his momma cried.

You were focusing so much on the negative stuff. How about more of the positive stuff? He had lots more positives than negatives
