Elvis was unique and superb. I am from Uruguay and was his fan since 1963.❤

To me there is not a bigger icon than Elvis Presley. How is it that one man could be such a magnet to millions of people? I mean, the biggest celebrities of that time were in awe of him. There simply isn't an explanation. He's just......Elvis.

Unique. Prince from another planet indeed. When he walked past past me to go on to the stage at the Cow Palace, I felt this incredible energy field as he passed. Amazing charisma, unbelievable good looks and of course his voice. I couldn't believe the power of his voice, you cannot imagine it being better than his records, but somehow it was. 47 years later and I still remember him as clearly as if it was yesterday.❤

I was 12 years old at my friends house when on the radio an announcer was talking of Elvis. “Shhh!” I said. “I Love Elvis. Let me hear what they are saying about him.” And the DJ announced that Elvis Presley had died. I felt a wave of something come over me and I was never the same again. The whole world changed forever that day. Thanks Elvis.

I think the way Elvis treated people professionally and personally is what made him phenominal. His charisma and his humility is something everyone loved about him. That is why still today he is considered the greatest, the king of music. And his connection through his music has stood the test of time. Long live his legacy!

I finished my training in Memphis. I met some people who had met Elvis. He really was kind to everyone. And of course giving. He was one of the most charitable stars of his time, but he gave unannounced and without media hype. There will never be another.

Elvis was more than great! It was Bill Porter, the legendary recording engineer, that captured it all on tape. Bill started recording Elvis upon his returned from the army, in 1960, and continued until Elvis's death. Porter also mixed his live performances from 1970 to 1977. Presley and Porter often spoke about what was real. At the request of the Presley family, Bill recorded Elvis's funeral. Bill was a real southern gentleman and a friend of mine. Harold Cohen.

Elvis was one of the very few legendary entertainers, who did not let the adulation, change the actual good person, he had been all his life.

At one point some of the crew on the Ark Royal got to do an overnight billet with local families. My brother took his guitar and did a few songs for the family. My brother was shocked to learn that this family did not know Elvis Presley was dead. He was a bit upset that he'd been the one to tell them. These Islands are so remote, and at the time there wasn't much to entertain them. Hopefully, they're in a better position these days.

Imagine watching a 1950s show featuring Sun artists, Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison. Anything better?

Apart from his talent and looks, Elvis obviously had a huge impact on the musicians around him and that was because of the kind of man he was.There were very few people who were not in awe of Elvis when they first met him and I'm sure Elvis knew it, but through it all he remained a genuine, down to earth, caring person, who treated his musicians with respect and dignity. There was something very, very special about Elvis and everyone knew it, right from the beginning. It came through in his talent and it came through in how he treated people. Thx. for sharing Joe.

She has openly admitted that after some time she was sneaking into Graceland though Elvis was not to thrilled about it . Eventually she moved in fully . They indulged in petting but did NOT have intercourse till their wedding night. She.also admitted in her book ( her own words ) that she used to beg him to go" all the way " but he refused to do that till their wedding night .

His looks and his singing were simply MAGNIFICENT!!!!! Practically the whole world saw this OUTSTANDING CONCERT, “ALOHA FROM HAWAII “ Think about it this Concert was on 50 yrs ago. FIFTY YEARS AGO!!!!!!!!! Poor Elvis he was 38 and only 4 yrs later he passed away. There will never be another Elvis, so Charismatic, HUMBLE, tremendous singer, HEART OF GOLD, forgot to mention of the beauty of this man, he was AWESOME LOOKING!!!! But my question is that 50 yrs ago there was this FANTASTIC CONCERT IN HAWAII,that BILLIONS OF PPL SAW IT………. When did any other singer ever came close to something as big as a CONCERT VIA SATELLITE? NEVER!!!!! FIFTY YEARS ITS A LONG, LONG TIME, and as I see it there isn’t anyone that has all the gifts that Elvis was blessed with . IF THERE WAS SUCH AN ARTIST THAT WAS CAPABLE OF DOING WHAT ELVIS DID, DONT YOU THINK THE WHOLE WORLD WOULD HAVE HEARD. ABOUT IT????????? PERHAPS ONE DAY SOMEONE COMES ALONG WITH AN AWESOME VOICE, but lacking the MAGNETISM. THAT ELVIS HAD, in other words … not a candidate for a second “ CONCERT VIA SATELLITE “ P E R I O D !!!!! If I’d didn’t happen in 50 yrs “FIFTY YEARS “ believe me, “IT AIN’T. GONE HAPPEN “!!!!!! He could have a CONCERT FOR 50K or. 100K … his Concerts were always SOLD OUT!!!! I ask you in a nice way, if you come here to talk bad about this AWESOME HUMAN BEING THAT WAS ELVIS, there is just one word that explains it all= YOU ARE ONE DAMN JEALOUS PERSON. THE RIGHT THING FOR A JEALOUS PERSON TO DO IS TO --- TAKE A LONG WALK ON A SHORT PIER!!!! GOT IT !!!!! Good, now don’t come back here, you don’t BELONG HERE.

I heard that Elvis's estate had made more money since his passing than when he was alive and performing. That's something quite amazing. Firstly it shows the great dedication from his close fans and the dedication of the rest of them, world wide. Obviously the mansion being open to the public is a major draw. It all boils down to a fantastic and unique person.

Elvis was pretty reckless with his money. Back then tax rates were a lot higher, but the government basically made it pretty easy for people like Elvis to take expense deductions for all the people he was paying that worked for him....his plane/travelling expenses, his many on the payroll, his payments to arenas to perform there....all of this could have been deducted each year to make him keep a lot of his money.....but strangely, Elvis never took those deductions which was flat out stupid. I never understood that....He gave millions to the government that he did not need to.

The outpouring of grief was unfortunately matched a little over three years later by another shocking death. The sad thing was, immediately after he died, they just couldn't wait to trash him in the press for his lifestyle which only added to the shock. And no one really knew until then..... Only one Elvis. He had a great voice and he was the best frontman in the history of rock n roll. Plain and simple. Those early years were simply too good. The era that produced Suspicious Minds and Kentucky Rain was great to hear about, that's just great stuff, it really is. The singing is incredible, his voice was really strong there.

Late in '77 I ran into him again through this same friend and went to see him in this all black jazz band. He's also black. I had no ideal what a monster player he was.

I was a long distance operator in Alaska when I took a call from a long distance operator in Tennessee. She was crying. Not knowing what was going on, thinking maybe the operator had an emergency, I had my hand up and my supervisor plugged into my position to listen with me. I asked her how I could help her. She just kept sobbing. I had her taking deep breaths trying to help her calm down so she could speak. She finally managed to tell me Elvis had died. Tears sprang to my eyes but I managed to remain professional asking her if she was sure? She began to cry again sobbing ‘yes.’ Slowly she managed to say it was all over the local news but knew it took us awhile to get news and wanted to let us know. I thanked her for her call looking at my supervisor who nodded I could end the call. My normal hard ass supervisor had tears streaming down her face. I told the Tennessee operator it was terrible news, again thanked her, then said good bye. I told the women seated around me the news which quickly spread through out the room. Our supervisor had to take a break. The room had gotten so quiet with a sob here and there. Another supervisor called Tennessee, another long distance supervisor who she said was so upset, to verify the horrible news. Then she announced to the room that it was true. We had incoming calls and had to put our personal feelings aside and get back to work. But the entire room of women of all ages, I was 23 years old, had taken on a feeling of such sadness like we had all experienced a death in each of our families. I don’t think today’s generations can possible understand the impact that incredible man had on our country, on our lives, on the entire music industry. There was, there always will be, just one ELVIS.

Elvis was an amazing man.. When he passed I was a devastated 16 year old, no one could understand why .. The first time I ever met Elvis, I was just a few months away from turning 10 and I will forever remember that Green 1970 Thunderbird ... I may have been a kid but his generosity that day made him an integral part of my life because of him I am always paying it forward to someone in need when ever I can.. Thank You Elvis , you are so missed...

My mom cranked up the car and it came over the radio that Elvis had died and my mom started to cry unconsoleable I felt so bad for her and that I couldn't comfort her. We sat ion the JCPenny parking lot a good 15 to 20 mins until she was able to drive and then never spoke a word the whole way home. i will never forget that day!!

Knowing what I’ve done the last almost 20 years now with founding the museum and now also that the interviews are bringing happiness to so many of my new like minded friends is a great feeling. Like I tell people who ask my opinion about how to go about entering the music business, first do it because you love it and that’s what I did founding the MHOF. These interviews were just something that needed to be done if the museum was to be legitimate in my mind. It was never about money and that’s good because museums struggle to stay afloat. I never dreamed these interviews would be seen by millions of people. They were intended to be seen by those who visited the museum only but who knew something was coming called KZread!

More great stuff from Joe. It says a lot about the impact of Elvis' LIFE that an 11 year old boy (ME), with countless interests and things to do, preoccuppied with fishing and football and baseball and girls (almost, anyway :) still recalls vividly the moment he heard of Elvis's death: I was in the kitchen when the phone rang. Like most families in those days we had ONE phone hanging on the wall. I answered and it was a friend of my little sister's. She was crying and I could hardly understand what she was saying. I gave the phone to my sister, who within 20 seconds had tears streaming down her cheeks. She lowered the phone and in a broken, crying voice whispered, "Elvis is dead." I was just a kid - had started learning guitar a couple months prior - but I'd never known a time when there was NOT Elvis. We lived 20 minutes from Memphis, very near where Elvis's Circle G Ranch is located. In fact, a good friend of my dad's came up with a business scheme were he would purchase a tiny portion of the Ranch and sell bottles of dirt allegedly dug up and bottled there. I say "allegedly" because this was just one of many sca...I mean, "schemes"...this dude devised over the years! lol Anyway, losing Elvis meant more to me than I would EVER have thought.

The songs recorded at that studio with those musicians were the best recordings Elvis ever made. Not just the hits that came out of those sessions but every song was a master piece. The fact that Elvis never returned to that studio was a damn shame. Parker was a disgrace who didn't deserve to have such a gifted artist under his thumb.

@danc3693

J P Yes, Parker was a disgrace - and I’m tired of hearing about it. You know what’s a bigger disgrace? Elvis keeping The Colonel on as his manager for his entire career. Elvis was an adult man and he chose The Colonel. Plenty of successful artists know when they need to change managers. Successful artists surround themselves with people who are good for their creative lives; not a bunch of overgrown teenage men engaging in hijinks with the boss. Elvis made his choices and as big a fan as I am, I recognize Elvis was a troubled guy from a tough upbringing subjected to a lot of pressure he really couldn’t handle well.

The old sayings are usually right. Elvis wise... " It's tough at the top".

Great video with historic interviews. I've been a musician for over 50 years, but honestly, in my earlier days I never really appreciated the music of Elvis & other innovative pioneers of modern music. Of course, the more I learned about Elvis & those early days, I learned to understand & appreciate how Elvis changed the course of modern music - as much as The Beatles & a select few others. I now understand how Important he is to the evolution of music. Thank you Joe! Great job.

What gets me is Elvis knew when he made a error. Maybe that’s the reason when he worked with RCA that he would do so many takes. He liked to listen to a song after it was recorded. But that’s why they rehearsed so much before a big show.

Joe...this clip is pure gold. Thank you, yet again! Ya know....amid all the fanfare, lighting rigs, background singers and Guercio’s brass, was Jerry Scheff. When I discovered all the live Elvis stuff years back- everything from ‘69 to Aug. ‘77...for me personally, it’s always been about what Jerry offered up with this band. His exemplary bass playing urged me to play better. Ronnie Tutt and Glen D. Harding, Jim Burton and Jerry is usually where my focus would rest. Elvis did recruit the best no doubt. Tommy Cogbill’s playing too...is off the charts amazing. He was like the Jamerson of the south. A talent of the highest order he was...and sorely missed. Thanks Joe.

To be in his shoes and become the most famous entertainer in the world from such simple beginnings had to be scary and lonely much of the time. Thanks again for watching Roger... Joe

Elvis. . . So sad that he could never be happy enough. How lonely it must have seemed to him at times. He once said something to the fact that with all the fame there was still the end of the day. I can't even imagine what it would be like to never to be able to go out in public without a crowd forming. Fame a glass cage for some. Be blessed.

It seems like cameras were focussed on him 24/7 but he never acted like he was aware of them, apart from the smile he directed at them sometimes. Seemed completely unaware of his own physical attraction. I sometimes wonder what he saw when he looked in the mirror every morning to shave - same old two eyes, one nose, one mouth?

No one else has ever done. What he did. Are will ever do it ❤

Elvis looked great until he smiled , then he hit the stars !! 🤩🤩🤩

When you're as big as Elvis was, who you can trust becomes a huge issue. Too many people want to bask in the starlight of such a person and won't risk offending. You learn to trust the folks who put their relationship on the line with the truth.

In hearing these men talk about Elvis, how they admired him very much. They knew Elvis was the real deal. I have heard some of his takes on KZread. Yes, he sounded very good before the final take. It is said he had a very good memory too. Yes, I had a crush on Elvis, if I had known him, I would have liked being a little sister to him, knowing him personally (at home, every day life). He stayed down to earth, appreciated his success very much. I wish he lived years longer, to live at Graceland longer, he could tell the stories too, and for his daughter, Lisa Marie (not necessarily in that order). When anyone that knew Elvis, that talks about the day he died, I tear up or cry. It has been that many years since he died, but when that day comes to mind (days afterwards too), very sad. It will be to my last day. ❤From A Nashville Girl ❤
