I believe Elvis knew he was loved by his fans. But in the end he was performing with congestive heart failure puffy from upper respiratory congestion and upper body fluid not being pumped appropriately by his congested heart. He never slept well and he kept those things from his fans. Such a wonderful tribute. Thank you Wayne Newton for sharing his inner thoughts. 😢
How anyone hated on that man is amazing,if there were more people like him the world would be a much better place,I’m crying uncontrollably watching this,RIP elvis and thanks for the memories
His own daughter who only had him 9 years, said she knew he loved her so much and would protect her from any harm. He established so much love in her heart she was defending him up until she died. She always said she was trying to find a man who come even close to him, and never could. That's why she was so destroyed by her son's death because she said her son was so much like her father. Elvis made such an impact on people it was a phenomenon we we never see again. Another great interview, is from Bill Medley of the Righteous Brothers who was a fan and friend of Elvis. Not sad. You are the best Ray
Oh my goodness, I am crying like a baby. Elvis was a gift from God. There will never be another like him. Ray your reaction is so heartwarming. Your love for Elvis makes my heart happy. Thank you Jennifer for this heartbreaking, but beautiful video. ❤Just knowing how Elvis suffered from loneliness and all of the other things he suffered through is heartbreaking. A man with his heart should have never had to live like he did.
And have him hear what people are saying about him? No way no how I can barely handle what’s being said about him, and for him to hear it would be absolutely heartbreaking
This was a sad one, can’t help but cry to think of how much Elvis gave of himself with all of his illness. May he be RIP with his daughter and grandson. I miss him so much.
Linda Thompsons brother Sam was with Elvis one night and he was talking about how the guys weren't around exacept to pick him up for his show and drop him off like a piece of meat. Sam said Elvis everyone loves you.Talking about his fans.Elvis was looking out his window and turned to Sam and said" they know that guy on stage,they don't know me"😢😢😢
Yes this is sad. Wayne came from near me in Virginia and he adored Elvis. I believe it and am sorry Elvis was so sick and weary, at the end. He was so loved but he never stopped believing in God and I know he is with him now. He knew he would die young. Thanks Ray
Sittin here watching this...cryin, snottin and snortin and no kleenex. Elvis...there was only one. Never again will there ever be another entertainer that will ever come close to him. BEAUTIFUL
Some of us old guys have been going through this feeling for decades, it’s gratifying that you are passing along the feelings to a new generation. Thanks!👍😎🌴
I truly don’t understand how anyone in this day and age with all the information that is out could not love Elvis ? How could you not bestow on him the compassion and love that Elvis gave to the world so many times over . This truly broke my heart to think how alone and sad that one of the most famous people who ever lived was . Love you always Elvis ❤❤❤❤
No suitable words, just emotions. I feel he is at peace now with his Mother, Father, his twin brother, his daughter and grandson. And most of all, his Lord.🙏🙏🙏❤❤
Heartbreaking stuff, man....hard to watch and not feel the pain and loneliness Elvis suffered. Beautiful and beloved Elvis Presley....forever loved, remembered, and treasured ❤️⚡💯
Lvis was a great man and person, my all time artist and human being , anyone who actully knew him he was full of love and caring, he will always be missed, thank you my friend for this beautiful reaction
Sweet sweet man it breaks my heart knowing Elvis gave so much, but he didnt have anyone to totally confide in. This made me cry i knew the letter existed but i didnt know it was a song wow great video ray much love ❤
You said it Ray. I never watch any footage from 1977, I can't. This is the only time that I will because of Wayne Newton's song for Elvis. I can't watch 77 footage, because it hurts just knowing he was on death's door. Knowing how much pain he was in. He LOOKED sick. Just knowing how Lisa Marie was afraid for her father and asked him if he was going to die. Elvis had wonderful people in his life that loved him. He didn't have enough of them though. He was surrounded by takers that he trusted. Those that used him until he was gone and then they continued to use him after his death with their books. As Lisa Marie wrote in her song Nobody Noticed- "You were lovely, you're still lovely, you made me and I love you". She was right and now she is with him. Both of them gone, far too soon. This is a wonderful tribute to Elvis and I thank you Ray for reacting and for the requestor. TCB⚡👑🎸
I am right there with you - I can only watch 1977 in small doses because it hurts so much to see his illness and his pain. What hurts most during the last footage of the televised show is watching Elvis having to be helped off the stage. He gave everything. Even as he was walking toward the exit and his car, his walk is unsteady and rather lumbering. It devastates me whenever i happen to see it. I hope he is in the arms of Jesus, and knows how much he is still loved.
What a great interview with Wayne and beautiful song. I loved every moment of this and it broke my heart at the same time. I will always love Elvis no one will ever compare., thank you so much.
Thank you Ray,and Thank you,Wayne, for your truthful word about Elvis, The G.O.A.T. he was so sick and went on stage for the fans.in 1977.😢Rip Elvis,🕺🎸🎤🕊☝👍❤🙏
Thank you Ray for sharing this video. Wayne Newton was the real deal, too. That is why he and Elvis clicked. There was a lot of negative rumors around Wayne, as there were around Elvis, It seems the rumors continue to grow as the years pass. But you are doing a great service by putting the truth out there. By exposing people to aspects and information that many people don't know. Happy Anniversary to you and your lovely wife. I am excited about y'all coming to Memphis. I hope that someday you will come to Tupelo, Mississippi and see his birthplace. It will touch you like nothing else. We remember you, Elvis, and we love you...still.
Our Elvis .... I was just one of many people who wanted his life to be full of love and kindness and caring friends...never wanting him to feel used...lonely...sick..or exhausted...he was never sure if his friends really cared or loved him or were they in his life for what he could do for them...a very lonely place to be for anyone. We love you Elvis...always.❤ Thank you Jennifer for sharing this video with us eventhough it was heartbreaking... thank you Ray for your thoughtful reaction ...have a beautiful anniversary celebration with your beautiful Stacy...such a wonderful couple.❤❤
I wish he could have known you and about your channel and how you honored him by not only playing his music but by showing him you cared about him being treated with respect and fairness. He would have appreciated the love and support you and your Vibe Gang gave him.
The interviewer was Ralph Emery. He hosted his own radio show in his early career. Also worked on a rock and roll radio station. He hosted a country music talk show (television) called Nashville Now. It ran from 1983 to 1993. He was well liked and respected in the county music world. Wayne Newton would never have agreed to be on the show if he thought Ralph was less than respectful of Elvis and his memory. Ralph already knew the truth about Elvis. He was asking the questions that would give Wayne an opportunity to let the viewers know. I adore your protective attitude toward Elvis! 🤗
The interviewer - Ralph Emory - was actually a very sympathetic and kind man. I think he was trying to phrase the question so that Wayne could give the information that he wanted us to know. - I have seen this letter many times, and I believe it was rather a good-bye. Elvis' family history was such that I believe he knew things were drawing to a close. I've read many books about Elvis and seen so many videos, but one thing keeps coming up. Parker kept telling Elvis to keep to himself as much as possible to keep the "mystery" of Elvis alive. Even though Elvis was continually surrounded by people, there really wasn't anyone he felt he could be completely open with. Not Priscilla, not Charlie Hodge or Joe Esposito or Jerry Schilling - nobody. Each of them may have gotten a piece from time to time, but nobody got it all. There were so many parts to Elvis' persona - the confidant, amazing performer, the "macho" guy with the men around him, the Elvis he was at Graceland, the benefactor of so many charities, the generous soul, and the man who could be volcanic when angry. And if he was mostly a recluse toward the end - who could blame him? The physical pain, the disappointments, the weariness of soul, and nobody to share and understand it. When I think about all of this, I sometimes feel that I have been kicked in the chest and I can't breathe. A basically wonderful, magical, sad, tragic and lonely man. God, I have to stop, I'm crying on the keyboard. RIP, Mr. Presley, and thanks, EP, for everything. KP
This video definitely hit it different… thank you, Jennifer for sharing and thank you Ray for this incredible platform that you have so many people can share their love and truth about Elvis.
WOW - Crying - I have seen this a couple of times - So Emotional - I would Recommend Larry Geller's Interviews - His Hairdresser & Spiritual Advisor that Spent The MOST PERSONAL TIME WITH ELVIS!!!! AND WHAT HE SAYS WITH HIS CONVERSATIONS WITH ELVIS TOWARDS THE END OF HIS LIFE - ELVIS GOING ON VACATION MARCH OF 1977 HOW HE WAS IN GREAT SPIRITS!!!! EVEN PLAYING FOOTBALL IN THESE PHOTOS!! HE HAD CHANGED HIS WILL TAKING PRISCILLA OUT OF IT RIGHT BEFORE THEY ALL LEFT FOR HAWAII - BUT LARRY IMO KNEW ELVIS BETTER THAN ANYONE!!! BECAUSE HE ALWAYS WANTED TO CONFIDE IN LARRY AND GET HIS ADVICE AND JUST TALK ABOUT LIFE - THANKS RAY
Congratulations on your anniversary, which is not a milestone but a new stage of this beautiful journey together, full of a lot of things. This video gave me a lot and Elvis was unable to understand how much love 💘 surrounded him, perhaps he only saw opportunism and felt discouraged, I hope with all my heart ❤️ that now wherever his soul is he feels the warmth of our love and the happiness that gives us just for having existed. Eternal love for him 💔🎸👑✨️✨️✨️✨️✌️
I truly believe Elvis is in heaven with the Lord, at peace. ❤❤❤❤ This one is always emotional, and if it wasn't for the hope of salvation, I would honestly feel quite hopeless right now. Still, it hits hard!
Thank you Brother for the respect and love you have for Elvis , The Man was so True and its sad i guess if you're a True real person and spirit ❤️ someone always tries to tear you Down 😢 God Bless you Brother for Being who you Are ❤🙏 ... YOU'RE LAID-BACK COUNTRY BROTHER Lonnie 👍🏻
15:26 I agree he wanted his fans know how he appreciated them knowing how sick he was he gave all he had elvis was one amazing human being their will never human being like him
Shout out to you Ray! “ i’m sure Elvis Presley is looking down on your reactions and if he could he would give you a gold TCB chain for doing great work on behalf of his name…” If he would’ve lived, we can only imagine the music that came out after his death that he would have taken and remade for himself. It would’ve absolutely been gold, gold plated stuff, long live the king.EP👍🇺🇸🙏⚡️🔥🎤🎸🎵
Ive seen this clip before, so sorry Ray but i couldn't watch it again as its so upsetting so thought id just read the comments to see what people think 😢 im crying reading those some say he wouldn't do that but depression makes you do things out of character RIP beautiful man ❤
THANK YOU MISS JENNIFER FOR THIS ONE 💜🌹💜🌹💜🌹💜🌹 AND THANK YOU RAY AS ALWAYS FOR A VERY SINCERE & HEARTFELT REACTION 💜🌹💙💐💜🌹💙💐💜🌹💙💐💜🌹💙💐 I won't add anything here since there is nothing for me to add here. So I'll end it on a more positive note: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY RAY & STACY 🎉🎊🎆🎇🎉🎊🎆🎇🙌💃🙌💃🌹🌹🌹🌹 HOPE YOU HAVE A VERY LOVELY ANNIVERSARY WITH EACH OTHER & YOUR FAMILY 💖👑🌹💐👑💖 TCB ⚡ & TLC ❤ & peace ✌& blessings 🙏 to you & yours & to one & all here as well 💕 P.S. This is one of the best slow dance songs ever by Elvis in my humble opinion: (Best Version!) "This Is Our Dance" (Acoustic Takes 9- 11) With Assorted Movie Footage 4:05 long link here: m.th-cam.com/video/A7PJK5rt1q4/w-d-xo.html I would like to humble dedicate this link to you Ray and your lovely wife on your guys' 16th Anniversary. Much love 💖💜💙💚💛💕💕💕💕
The clip where Joe Esposito runs up to the bathroom is supposed to be a reinactment of how he found Elvis on the day he died and is from the movie "This Is Elvis"
This was very sad but so true… I will always love Elvis! Tom Jones did a tribute to Elvis also with a song. I saw it on UTube a couple of years ago. It was very good❤️
Well, 1st, a 🍾Happy 16th💝!!! Well deserved 😊 2nd, Ty Ms. Jennifer!👍 ..the Best 🎞 I have seen of him regarding a part of his life. 3rd, Mr WN true self discipline in respecting his wonderful friendship with Elvis by stating as u say.."The Facts!" The fact he Honored & still does his relationship with him is shown by this song among his words of love within this video. I feel Elvis is proud here just as much as he was when he received the Jaycee Award back in the 70s as.1 of the Outstanding Men for his Contribution and Humanitarian 🎁🎁's. He is truly an 😇ngel In Heaven as he was here on Earth. Finally, as @hillsbourghguy states it & very well.."You have a beautiful heart just like Elvis did." Tc & thx & as always..✌
When you have heart failure you bloat Imagine never having a good night sleep since childhood never being able to go out in the military never ate out once Remember God is always there reach out to Him psalm 23
I always loved (and still do) Elvis ❤ and I always and still love Wayne Newton. I actually met Wayne briefly once . . . I was working at an FBO (fixed base operator) at the airport in Wichita, KS, for several yrs in the 70's. Wayne was in town for some reason, I don't think it was a concert but don't remember what it was, and he was traveling in a private plane that was tied down (parked, etc.) where I worked. When he was getting ready to leave, we "girls" in the office were notified and we all ran out on the tarmac where the plane was and we talked to him for a few minutes. The funniest part of this story was that it was Halloween and we (I think there were 5 of us) were dressed in costumes! 🤪 So, we were quite the sight, all dressed up and running to the plane where Wayne Newton was standing getting ready to get on his plane! 😂😅 Anyhoo, he talked to us for a few minutes and signed autographs for each of us, shook our hands, then got on the plane. One of the women had him sign her shirt and, of course, there was the joke about him signing the front but she finally turned around and he signed the back. 😂 I can't remember exactly what year this was but, I think I remember that I left there midyear 1976 so this would have been when Elvis 💔 was still with us. But, of course, that cemented my love for Wayne Newton for life. ❤ We were all ages but I was the youngest at about 26, I think. 😅 I think the eldest woman was in her 60's but even she had fun with it. We pretty, much were done for the day even though we had work still left because we were so excited and wound up for the rest of the day! Fun memories, for sure. However, this song completely breaks my heart💔and makes me remember how devastated I was when Elvis died. I was on vacation wiith my 7 yr old daughter and we were traveling the following day from Table Rock Lake in SW Missouri to Elk City in SW Oklahoma which is almost an 8 hour drive. On the radio station I was listening to, they were playing Elvis songs as a tribute to him. I was just bawling my eyes out and was almost despondent for the entire drive! By the time we got to my cousin's house, Staci, my daughter, was completely over the Elvis song marathon. 😂 She was not as invested in it as I was, obviously. ❤❤❤❤
Wow ray i" m right there with you this was so sad to think that he gaeomuch to so many people and in the end he was so lonesome people in his close group said that he wanted his family back and he missed his family till the very end ! Thank you Ray for posting this ! And Happy Anniversary to you and your beautiful wife !😊❤
I think Elvis would've been all over social media, the direct contact with his fans, to see stats and streams and all the influence he left behind on this planet. I wish he'd known he was like the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs.... we havent been the same since. Imagine if he'd never existed, how would we be today? How bland. Elvis's impact on the 20th century is immeasurable. It’s only right we take him into the 21st. Still going strong. Long live the King, Elvis forever ❤
Not anyone can take away what Elvis did for his fans he was very loyal to them he always such a great entertainer and he gave us great movies to watch they were funny to watch and they were amazing to watch on TV no one has the right to ask questions like this guy did yes Elvis was sick and he knew he was going to die at the age of 42 just like his mother did and then many many many years later we lost the one person Elvis loved with all his heart and his life his daughter Lisa Marie Presley it was very hard for her mother to buried her only daughter by a man she still loved with all her life even after their divorce and this song brought me to Tara line I lost a family member witch I did along time time it was the year 2000 I lost my dad he knew he had cancer and the doctors told him he had 6 months to live but in his mind he was going to go sooner and he did they found out in April of 2000 and he died in June of 2000 so this brought me to tears really bad but thin in 2012 I lost my husband who promise me he would never leave me but he did at the age of 47 he died of a massive heart attack in his sleep when I wioke up i tried to wake him up so i could go pay our light and cable bill cause he had the money on him and he would not wake up i felt him and he was kinda cold i went screaming to our neighbors csuse we were friends with them they can and the guy check him and he told me he was dead so i called 911 crying and told them that my husband had died in his sleep of course they since the police and the ems came to then they told me he was gone I hit the flour then i called his sisters vause his parents both had died he older sister did not seem to coare but his younger sister cried her husband got on the phone and ask me what happen to eulice that was my husband name and i told him that Eulice had died in his sleep he said they would be there as fast as they could when they got their the corners were there and pronounce him dead we all three said our goodbye and they ask me to come home with them then me and his sister were on our way to pack up his cloths and she said that her and her husband were talking and they said if i wanted to i could live with them for and that if i agree I could give them $ 200.00 dollars a month to live with them and I did I lived with until 2016 till i moved out on my own so this song has so much meaning to me i know this is a long comment but just wanted to share my story
Wow, both powerful and heartbreaking. I 100% believe if Galdys had lived longer Elvis’ life would have been completely different or his twin brother Jesse. But unfortunately that was not to be 💔
--------- I know this is about Elvis, but Wayne Newton was a real talented showman. He could pick up any instrument in the band during his show, and WOW you with his expertise. Vocally, outstanding too. If you could catch a video 1990s or earlier, you're in for a real treat
I dont know if it had a name back in Elvis's time but from what I've read it sounds to me like he had diverticulitis, which is an intestinal disease. Its something I've dealt with for the past 15 yrs. 8 yrs ago it led to me almost dying from an intestinal blockage, 4 surgeries, and two yrs later I finally was healing and feeling healthy again. in 2020 it reared its head again, I spent most of that year in the hospital, stays that lasted up to 45 days at a time, and again I had 4 major surgeries. I still have one coming up very soon, they had to put it off for almost a year because my body could not survive another surgery then. The pain from this disease is unlike anything you can imagine. I only talk so much about it because like I said, it sounds like Elvis had a lot of the same issues and it breaks my heart to think he was feeling all of this and still put himself out there, and for who??? for us, for his fans, his audience. Those that he loved. The same ones that eventually made him a recluse, how sad that in the end he felt so alone. It just breaks my heart. I hope in some way he knows he really was truly loved, yes he was handsome, talented, but he was a person with the same feelings as you and I . and with a most beautiful heart. I hope he has found peace and is resting with his parents, his daughter, his lil brother that he never knew, and those that he truly loved. RIP Elvis.. you will always be remembered and loved
Wow Ray. I had not seen this before, and I thought I had about seen it all. This Wayne Newton interview and song, along with your graceful reaction to cap it off, hit like a sledge hammer to the guts. Hard to see Elvis, who had given all of himself to us fans, suffer even 1 minute of loneliness and the world closing in around him. I wonder sometimes if he had hired you and me on in the 1970's as part of the Memphis Mafia ("TCB Baby")...if we could have made a difference. I'm not sure we could have but, I know we would have given it our all as he did for all of us. Peace🙏
I believe Elvis knew he was loved by his fans. But in the end he was performing with congestive heart failure puffy from upper respiratory congestion and upper body fluid not being pumped appropriately by his congested heart. He never slept well and he kept those things from his fans. Such a wonderful tribute. Thank you Wayne Newton for sharing his inner thoughts. 😢
Elvis Presley work so hard that why we lost him so young Elvis Presley is a legend He never be forgotten and beyond 💘💘💘💘💘

I just cried like a baby watching this! Love Elvis so much!
His own daughter who only had him 9 years, said she knew he loved her so much and would protect her from any harm. He established so much love in her heart she was defending him up until she died. She always said she was trying to find a man who come even close to him, and never could. That's why she was so destroyed by her son's death because she said her son was so much like her father.

Lisa should never have needed to defend her dad. He was an exemplary human being. RIP to them both & Ben ❤
Oh my goodness, I am crying like a baby. Elvis was a gift from God. There will never be another like him. Ray your reaction is so heartwarming. Your love for Elvis makes my heart happy. Thank you Jennifer for this heartbreaking, but beautiful video. ❤Just knowing how Elvis suffered from loneliness and all of the other things he suffered through is heartbreaking. A man with his heart should have never had to live like he did.
Cried buckets 🪣 of tears while watching this😢. This hurts my heart ❤️. God Bless Elvis Aaron Presley. Love you Elvis.
Miss you Elvis
💯💯💯💯
You have a beautiful heart just like Elvis did.
No one knows what people go through behind closed doors.
I have never understood why people felt the need to tear him down!
If i could bring one artist that's not around us anymore it's gonna be elvis and that's a fact
And have him hear what people are saying about him? No way no how
I can barely handle what’s being said about him, and for him to hear it would be absolutely heartbreaking
😢😢😢 Elvis gave all he had to give! Heartbreaking! Happy Anniversary! 😊
I believe he always felt alone because his twin died at birth. He was an amazing man. We were blessed to have Elvis!
The world misses you Elvis❤
Elvis was great. The negative stuff is from those jealous of him
So true so much jealousy for the G.O.A.T.RIP Elvis, 😢❤🙏
Agree 💯
This was a sad one, can’t help but cry to think of how much Elvis gave of himself with all of his illness. May he be RIP with his daughter and grandson. I miss him so much.

The first time I heard this it tore me up still does knowing he felt that 💔😭
"The image is one thing. The human being another. It's hard to live up to an image". Elvis Presley. 'nuff said.
All u can do is cry and be Thankful God sent him for a while.❤😢
How many people pray the same thing. Help me Lord.
I have many times in my life. 🙏
Yes this is sad. Wayne came from near me in Virginia and he adored Elvis. I believe it and am sorry Elvis was so sick and weary, at the end. He was so loved but he never stopped believing in God and I know he is with him now. He knew he would die young. Thanks Ray
My beautiful Elvis I wish I was there to hug you and love you unconditionally 😢❤ love you my beautiful angel forever ❤️❤️❤️
My heart is heavy, cant stop the tears,
Ive been unwell, but getting better, vibe gang i love you, Ray ive missed you but not well mentally. Xx
Sittin here watching this...cryin, snottin and snortin and no kleenex. Elvis...there was only one. Never again will there ever be another entertainer that will ever come close to him. BEAUTIFUL
Same....😭
This broke my heart, love the person Elvis was. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I just became a new fan of Wayne Newton because of this Elvis Letter he wrote for his dear Friend ELVIS.
I agree! Do the research! Elvis was an amazing person.

I used to watch Ralph
Well I'm literally crying now 😭😭😭...will always love ELVIS ❤❤❤

He never knew who loved him for him or for what they could get, that’s just so sad. 😢

There were so many parts to Elvis' persona - the confidant, amazing performer, the "macho" guy with the men around him, the Elvis he was at Graceland, the benefactor of so many charities, the generous soul, and the man who could be volcanic when angry. And if he was mostly a recluse toward the end - who could blame him? The physical pain, the disappointments, the weariness of soul, and nobody to share and understand it. When I think about all of this, I sometimes feel that I have been kicked in the chest and I can't breathe. A basically wonderful, magical, sad, tragic and lonely man. God, I have to stop, I'm crying on the keyboard. RIP, Mr. Presley, and thanks, EP, for everything. KP
❤️🌻😢💔 beautiful Kathryne.
Breaks my heart😢❤
Beautiful, thank you for sharing this!
This video definitely hit it different… thank you, Jennifer for sharing and thank you Ray for this incredible platform that you have so many people can share their love and truth about Elvis.
WOW - Crying - I have seen this a couple of times - So Emotional - I would Recommend Larry Geller's Interviews - His Hairdresser & Spiritual Advisor that Spent The MOST PERSONAL TIME WITH ELVIS!!!! AND WHAT HE SAYS WITH HIS CONVERSATIONS WITH ELVIS TOWARDS THE END OF HIS LIFE - ELVIS GOING ON VACATION MARCH OF 1977 HOW HE WAS IN GREAT SPIRITS!!!! EVEN PLAYING FOOTBALL IN THESE PHOTOS!! HE HAD CHANGED HIS WILL TAKING PRISCILLA OUT OF IT RIGHT BEFORE THEY ALL LEFT FOR HAWAII - BUT LARRY IMO KNEW ELVIS BETTER THAN ANYONE!!! BECAUSE HE ALWAYS WANTED TO CONFIDE IN LARRY AND GET HIS ADVICE AND JUST TALK ABOUT LIFE - THANKS RAY
Dear Elvis, I love u with all.my heart and soul, love u for you
Congratulations on your anniversary, which is not a milestone but a new stage of this beautiful journey together, full of a lot of things. This video gave me a lot and Elvis was unable to understand how much love 💘 surrounded him, perhaps he only saw opportunism and felt discouraged, I hope with all my heart ❤️ that now wherever his soul is he feels the warmth of our love and the happiness that gives us just for having existed. Eternal love for him 💔🎸👑✨️✨️✨️✨️✌️
I truly believe Elvis is in heaven with the Lord, at peace. ❤❤❤❤ This one is always emotional, and if it wasn't for the hope of salvation, I would honestly feel quite hopeless right now. Still, it hits hard!
I've watched "The Letter" several times! Sad and touching 😢
Thank you Brother for the respect and love you have for Elvis , The Man was so True and its sad i guess if you're a True real person and spirit ❤️ someone always tries to tear you Down 😢 God Bless you Brother for Being who you Are ❤🙏 ... YOU'RE LAID-BACK COUNTRY BROTHER Lonnie 👍🏻
15:26 I agree he wanted his fans know how he appreciated them knowing how sick he was he gave all he had elvis was one amazing human being their will never human being like him
❤❤❤
😢😢❤ Elvis had a marvellous soul
Tearjerker. You have such a lovely soul, Ray. God bless..
This is so heartbreaking! Elvis always gave us so much, regardless of all the pain he was going through! 😢😢😢❤❤❤❤
Ray I know it's VERY FREAKEN HARD to see people we love die! I PRAY HE'S WITH JESUS! Thank u Ray for the video 😢.
I can't help but think of Lisa Marie's song "Nobody Noticed It" 😢
Me too - After Seeing the E Hollywood BS Documentary She Cried - And Called Red / Sonny West Slime MF'S - Then too in Germany She told the story again in an interview - She said in the Article They were trying to take his Dignity Away - So She went into the Studio and wrote the song and recorded it --
I heard broken footsteps
Was that you limping
Well, I wish that I had spent
Just a little bit more time with you
Tears on my ceiling
Weren't you watching
Well, I guess none of us
Will ever know what comes after this
You're still lovely
You were lovely then
All that you had to endure
I guess nobody noticed it
I know your resemblance
It's out there walking
And I wanted you to know
That I haven't forgotten
Well, they tried to make
You look broken
But not while I'm living
'Cause I wanted you to know that
I heard what you said
While it was raining
You're still lovely
You were lovely then
All that you had to endure
I guess nobody noticed it
You made me. I love you and
Did you know nothing has changed
And now everyone they notice it
Everyone notices
You're still lovely
You were lovely then
All that you had to endure
I guess nobody noticed it
You made me. I love you and
Did you know nothing has changed
And now everyone they notice it
Everyone notices

I loooove your love for elvis❤ you play a biggggg part in allowing our precious elvis to rest in peace❤❤❤ love to you
Ray, check out Muhammad Ali talks about Elvis and Elvis gives Ali a robe
Shout out to you Ray! “ i’m sure Elvis Presley is looking down on your reactions and if he could he would give you a gold TCB chain for doing great work on behalf of his name…” If he would’ve lived, we can only imagine the music that came out after his death that he would have taken and remade for himself. It would’ve absolutely been gold, gold plated stuff, long live the king.EP👍🇺🇸🙏⚡️🔥🎤🎸🎵
That's the one thing that NEVER left him ..
His talent...God given!
This is a tear jerker Bro. 😢😢😢
Absolutely tears in my eyes😢
Sadly,Elvis felt alone near the end in a room full of people!
Ive seen this clip before, so sorry Ray but i couldn't watch it again as its so upsetting so thought id just read the comments to see what people think 😢 im crying reading those some say he wouldn't do that but depression makes you do things out of character RIP beautiful man ❤
LOVE Your COMMENT ❤️WHEN ELVIS SINGS if I can DREAM ❤️MARTIN Luther King THAT WAS ELVIS NOTHING MORE THAN RESPECT GREETINGS FROM THE NETHERLANDS 🇳🇱🇳🇱

So I'll end it on a more positive note: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY RAY & STACY 🎉🎊🎆🎇🎉🎊🎆🎇🙌💃🙌💃🌹🌹🌹🌹
HOPE YOU HAVE A VERY LOVELY ANNIVERSARY WITH EACH OTHER & YOUR FAMILY 💖👑🌹💐👑💖
TCB ⚡ & TLC ❤ & peace ✌& blessings 🙏 to you & yours & to one & all here as well 💕
P.S. This is one of the best slow dance songs ever by Elvis in my humble opinion: (Best Version!) "This Is Our Dance" (Acoustic Takes 9- 11) With Assorted Movie Footage 4:05 long link here: m.th-cam.com/video/A7PJK5rt1q4/w-d-xo.html
I would like to humble dedicate this link to you Ray and your lovely wife on your guys' 16th Anniversary. Much love 💖💜💙💚💛💕💕💕💕
The clip where Joe Esposito runs up to the bathroom is supposed to be a reinactment of how he found Elvis on the day he died and is from the movie "This Is Elvis"
Happy Anniversary!
Running up the stairs...ok its what I thought it was. Looked like Joe Espencito(?) and Charlie Hodge. WOW, this was a tough one. Thanx for sharing it
I'm a wreck right now have heard the song before but never seen this video and it took me right back to the day he passed seeing it on tv😥😢😓😭💔💯
❤👑👑👑👑👑❤️
This was very sad but so true… I will always love Elvis! Tom Jones did a tribute to Elvis also with a song. I saw it on UTube a couple of years ago. It was very good❤️
Thank you for your heartfelt reaction Ray to a very touching video🤗.
The words on the note pad😢😢the song😢😢❤🎶
Well, 1st, a 🍾Happy 16th💝!!! Well deserved 😊 2nd, Ty Ms. Jennifer!👍 ..the Best 🎞 I have seen of him regarding a part of his life. 3rd, Mr WN true self discipline in respecting his wonderful friendship with Elvis by stating as u say.."The Facts!" The fact he Honored & still does his relationship with him is shown by this song among his words of love within this video. I feel Elvis is proud here just as much as he was when he received the Jaycee Award back in the 70s as.1 of the Outstanding Men for his Contribution and Humanitarian 🎁🎁's.
He is truly an 😇ngel In Heaven as he was here on Earth. Finally, as @hillsbourghguy states it & very well.."You have a beautiful heart just like Elvis did." Tc & thx & as always..✌
When you have heart failure you bloat Imagine never having a good night sleep since childhood never being able to go out in the military never ate out once Remember God is always there reach out to Him psalm 23
Happy anniversary
This is so cool. 💯 a great friend.
Thank you for this.
I always loved (and still do) Elvis ❤ and I always and still love Wayne Newton. I actually met Wayne briefly once . . . I was working at an FBO (fixed base operator) at the airport in Wichita, KS, for several yrs in the 70's. Wayne was in town for some reason, I don't think it was a concert but don't remember what it was, and he was traveling in a private plane that was tied down (parked, etc.) where I worked. When he was getting ready to leave, we "girls" in the office were notified and we all ran out on the tarmac where the plane was and we talked to him for a few minutes. The funniest part of this story was that it was Halloween and we (I think there were 5 of us) were dressed in costumes! 🤪 So, we were quite the sight, all dressed up and running to the plane where Wayne Newton was standing getting ready to get on his plane! 😂😅 Anyhoo, he talked to us for a few minutes and signed autographs for each of us, shook our hands, then got on the plane. One of the women had him sign her shirt and, of course, there was the joke about him signing the front but she finally turned around and he signed the back. 😂
I can't remember exactly what year this was but, I think I remember that I left there midyear 1976 so this would have been when Elvis 💔 was still with us. But, of course, that cemented my love for Wayne Newton for life. ❤ We were all ages but I was the youngest at about 26, I think. 😅 I think the eldest woman was in her 60's but even she had fun with it. We pretty, much were done for the day even though we had work still left because we were so excited and wound up for the rest of the day! Fun memories, for sure.
However, this song completely breaks my heart💔and makes me remember how devastated I was when Elvis died. I was on vacation wiith my 7 yr old daughter and we were traveling the following day from Table Rock Lake in SW Missouri to Elk City in SW Oklahoma which is almost an 8 hour drive. On the radio station I was listening to, they were playing Elvis songs as a tribute to him. I was just bawling my eyes out and was almost despondent for the entire drive! By the time we got to my cousin's house, Staci, my daughter, was completely over the Elvis song marathon. 😂 She was not as invested in it as I was, obviously. ❤❤❤❤
Wow ray i" m right there with you this was so sad to think that he gaeomuch to so many people and in the end he was so lonesome people in his close group said that he wanted his family back and he missed his family till the very end ! Thank you Ray for posting this ! And Happy Anniversary to you and your beautiful wife !😊❤
I think Elvis would've been all over social media, the direct contact with his fans, to see stats and streams and all the influence he left behind on this planet. I wish he'd known he was like the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs.... we havent been the same since. Imagine if he'd never existed, how would we be today? How bland.
Elvis's impact on the 20th century is immeasurable. It’s only right we take him into the 21st. Still going strong.
Long live the King, Elvis forever ❤
SOMETIMES THE SAD LOOK IN ELVIS'S EYES MADE ME CRY, I WONDER IF ANYONE ELSE SAW THE SADNESS IN HIS EYES
Not anyone can take away what Elvis did for his fans he was very loyal to them he always such a great entertainer and he gave us great movies to watch they were funny to watch and they were amazing to watch on TV no one has the right to ask questions like this guy did yes Elvis was sick and he knew he was going to die at the age of 42 just like his mother did and then many many many years later we lost the one person Elvis loved with all his heart and his life his daughter Lisa Marie Presley it was very hard for her mother to buried her only daughter by a man she still loved with all her life even after their divorce and this song brought me to Tara line I lost a family member witch I did along time time it was the year 2000 I lost my dad he knew he had cancer and the doctors told him he had 6 months to live but in his mind he was going to go sooner and he did they found out in April of 2000 and he died in June of 2000 so this brought me to tears really bad but thin in 2012 I lost my husband who promise me he would never leave me but he did at the age of 47 he died of a massive heart attack in his sleep when I wioke up i tried to wake him up so i could go pay our light and cable bill cause he had the money on him and he would not wake up i felt him and he was kinda cold i went screaming to our neighbors csuse we were friends with them they can and the guy check him and he told me he was dead so i called 911 crying and told them that my husband had died in his sleep of course they since the police and the ems came to then they told me he was gone I hit the flour then i called his sisters vause his parents both had died he older sister did not seem to coare but his younger sister cried her husband got on the phone and ask me what happen to eulice that was my husband name and i told him that Eulice had died in his sleep he said they would be there as fast as they could when they got their the corners were there and pronounce him dead we all three said our goodbye and they ask me to come home with them then me and his sister were on our way to pack up his cloths and she said that her and her husband were talking and they said if i wanted to i could live with them for and that if i agree I could give them $ 200.00 dollars a month to live with them and I did I lived with until 2016 till i moved out on my own so this song has so much meaning to me i know this is a long comment but just wanted to share my story
Wow, both powerful and heartbreaking. I 100% believe if Galdys had lived longer Elvis’ life would have been completely different or his twin brother Jesse. But unfortunately that was not to be 💔
I agree with you
--------- I know this is about Elvis, but Wayne Newton was a real talented showman. He could pick up any instrument in the band during his show, and WOW you with his expertise. Vocally, outstanding too. If you could catch a video 1990s or earlier, you're in for a real treat
I dont know if it had a name back in Elvis's time but from what I've read it sounds to me like he had diverticulitis, which is an intestinal disease. Its something I've dealt with for the past 15 yrs. 8 yrs ago it led to me almost dying from an intestinal blockage, 4 surgeries, and two yrs later I finally was healing and feeling healthy again. in 2020 it reared its head again, I spent most of that year in the hospital, stays that lasted up to 45 days at a time, and again I had 4 major surgeries. I still have one coming up very soon, they had to put it off for almost a year because my body could not survive another surgery then. The pain from this disease is unlike anything you can imagine. I only talk so much about it because like I said, it sounds like Elvis had a lot of the same issues and it breaks my heart to think he was feeling all of this and still put himself out there, and for who??? for us, for his fans, his audience. Those that he loved. The same ones that eventually made him a recluse, how sad that in the end he felt so alone. It just breaks my heart. I hope in some way he knows he really was truly loved, yes he was handsome, talented, but he was a person with the same feelings as you and I . and with a most beautiful heart. I hope he has found peace and is resting with his parents, his daughter, his lil brother that he never knew, and those that he truly loved. RIP Elvis.. you will always be remembered and loved
Congrat to you and your wife Ray.
😭😭😭😭🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Plz react to "If I could Talk To Elvis"🙏 deep voice singer in the background of the song that actually knew Elvis
Sorry for the spelling ,I was actuly crying listening to this
Best song ever...love this glad you listened
Wow Ray. I had not seen this before, and I thought I had about seen it all. This Wayne Newton interview and song, along with your graceful reaction to cap it off, hit like a sledge hammer to the guts. Hard to see Elvis, who had given all of himself to us fans, suffer even 1 minute of loneliness and the world closing in around him. I wonder sometimes if he had hired you and me on in the 1970's as part of the Memphis Mafia ("TCB Baby")...if we could have made a difference. I'm not sure we could have but, I know we would have given it our all as he did for all of us. Peace🙏
Ray, do you think that the love we all feel for Elvis comforts him now?
