- Larry Geller is an American writer, hair stylist, and public speaker.He was a spiritual advisor and personal hairstylist to Elvis Presley.He was the person in whom Elvis confided in matters of the spirit
Larry first met Elvis in 1957
It wasn’t until 1964 that their paths crossed again and he became a full time employee with Elvis.
In Part two of this interview,Larry tells me about the deep conversations he had with Elvis about the movies he was forced to make and what he really felt about his Manager Colonel Parker.

Larry is always so respectful of Elvis you can always tell he really loved and missed his friend
I love Larry ….such an Angel of a friend both Larry & Elvis 🙌🏼
Steve, this kind of material that you have been bringing here is a great and precious treasure for all Elvis fans. It is exquisite and essential work. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much Luigi... that means a lot to me
@@Elvisultimatefanchannel so very glad you reached out to Larry .he's a wealth of knowledge .He and Charlie talk the same talk .love and respect. Nothing but love and respect from these 2 .I believe u can take their conversations as gospel
That part about Parker demanding that Elvis had to perform no matter what condition he was in broke my heart. It's too bad that no was brave enough to stand up against that Monster!
Some nice comments here, and some not so nice. So what if we have heard one or two of the stories before. With a lot of Elvis's inner circle now passed away, we should be thankful for Larry while he's still with us. Thank you Steve & LG
Brian Roberts, and it's a good job that there are "some nice comments and some not so nice". We are not all like the "MM yes men". Each and everyone of us has the right to express their opinion, even though others may not agree with it. God made us all different for this reason, otherwise the world would be very boring!!!
Larry is repaying Elvis by doing these interviews and keeping Elvis alive for all his Fans.Great interview Steve
Dean we don't need Larry Gellar to keep Elvis alive, our hearts and our minds are doing that!!
@@vilmamoro1809 I know that Vilma but there’s a lot of people specifically the young and to hear someone who knows Elvis the way Larry did only helps
What a nice guy Larry is. His voice is so calming and sincere, I could listen to him for hrs. Easy to see why Elvis enjoyed conversing and confiding with him. I love to hear Larry talk about Elvis. Thank you.
I also could hear him talk for hours , you can he is very spiritual x
Yeah I love listening to him talk, he has a very soothing voice.
Awesome interview ! I cried so much ! I wish Elvis got his way ! Not with Parker ! Gladys knew oh she so knew 😞
Larry speaks so eloquently and beautifully about Elvis and his love and loyalty shines through. It is heartbreaking to hear of Elvis’s plans that didn’t materialise. Thanks Larry for once again sharing the depth of your direct insight and relationship with Elvis. Truly Amazing. Thanks Steve..hope you’re having a great holiday and rest 🤴🏻⚡️🎼
I've heard almost everything Larry has to say about his life with and without Elvis, but I can't get enough, there's always a puzzlebite more here and there that I get. I wish you do more interviews with him, he has so much to say. And time is running out. Larry's interviews has been the best, you do a fantastic job Steve.
Larry tells the stories with so much detail, makes you feel like you were there. It makes you time travel. For some reason, I too really do believe that Elvis sings individually to every one of us. Thank you Larry and Steve.
EVERYTHING about Elvis Presley was beautiful (as Larry said about his head of hair)! Can you imagine getting to spend time alone with Elvis every day??? What an experience!
Thanks so much Steve! Ive always enjoyed Larrys stories. He always speaks highly of Elvis. On a side note, i love Elvis' movies. Change of Habit is my favorite.
Hey Steve, thanks for letting us have this while you're on holiday👍❤️. Have a happy time!!
Thanks,glad you enjoyed it.Thanks for your support it's much appreciated
Steve
Wow, it was hard to hold back the tears there Steve.
Elvis sang from his soul, but Larry sure spoke from his heart here, they truely were soulmates, these intimate stories Larry tells are told with the utmost love, respect and empathy for the man he was honoured to call his friend.
As Larry speaks he allows the listener to join in the conversations he had with Elvis, the man, not the image, and that although years ago seem only like yesterday. He allows us inside Elvis,s mind , allows us to sense his feelings, his hopes , his goals , and most of all be witness to Elvis baring his soul.
Every story Larry told was as informative as it was insightful, as intriguing as it was comprehending, and as heart warming as it was heartbreaking.
I can fully understand why Elvis felt he needed Larry around, Elvis,s mind was way too inquisitive to be starved of nourishment of the spirituality fulfilling kind, Larry allowed him to be himself, the man he wanted to be not the perceived notion many thought he was.
The whole interview was enthralling from start to finish, and you yourself I might add allowed your guest to feel at ease throughout.
Thanks Steve.
I
Imo Elvis appreciated the fact that Parker got him famous n never forgot that ... Gladys was so right.. ty Larry and Steve.😊👌🏾
Larry's summary of Elvis at the end of the interview was beautiful. Elvis was and still is a healer.
Really really enjoyed this interview. While recollections may vary - I love the stories Larry shared. So many people saw so many different sides to Elvis. He was so complex. Thank you Steve for giving us so many wonderful Elvis insights.
Wow! Great interview with Elvis’ friend and hairstylist, Larry Geller! He nailed it at the end, Elvis is singing to you in his beautiful voice which was a very special gift from God and he knew it but Parker had him trapped in hotel rooms touring and in Los Vegas because of his gambling. Thanks Larry for sharing your wonderful memories and opinions of the life of Elvis who you loved and kept handsome. 🌹🌹🎵🎵🎵
Ascoltare Larry Geller è molto piacevole, ha un modo di parlare molto semplice e chiaro e soprattutto, traspare tutto il suo affetto la sua stima per Elvis. Sono stati davvero molto intimi, molto rispettosi l'uno dell'altro. Questo fa molto onore a Larry !
Attraverso le sue parole ho compreso meglio perché ogni volto che ascolto (e guardo )Elvis mi sento trasportare in un'altra dimensione...spesso mi commuovo, la sua voce mi tocca davvero il cuore e ĺ'anima.
Elvis è stato il più grande artista , in senso generale perché sapeva far tutto, di tutti i tempi. Ma non solo.......lui aveva doti umane che pochissime persone hanno è lui ne ha più di tutti. Purtroppo è stato sfortunato perché ha avuto intorno a sé persone sbagliate, interessate, opportuniste. Tranne Larry .Larry Geller è stato sicuramente leale e fedele ad Elvis fino alla fine , avevano molto in comune e quasi sicuramente, è stato ĺ'unico in grado di capire Elvis intimamente...non solo per le doti artistiche ma per quelle umane per i suoi sentimenti più puri.
Grazie a Larry ❤❤❤
Steve.....the last topic that Larry spoke about is so true......Elvis lived all the things that he sang about.....all the words of most songs are things that Elvis went through.......the love stories....the sad stories about his divorce....the death of his mother....it's all about his life...the good and the bad....the pain...etc. If Larry reads this I want him to know that we appreciate these very intimate moments that he shared with us.Amen.
Thank you for uploading this interesting interview about Elvis from Larry G.
I think I once mentioned before that Elvis would have liked to be in a film like Beckett. Not fair that Paramount made money out of Elvis to make the movies he actually wanted to be in. Elvis wanted to be a serious actor - he was a very good actor but was given poor scripts !!
Enjoyed them 2 parts from Larry Geller. Thanks Steve. 👍
Absolutely loving these great interviews. Larry and his wife Shira have become very good friends of mine over these past few years. Having spent a lot of time with them both in Germany, it's obvious how much Larry loved and still loves Elvis and protects his legacy. Nice one Steve. Great Interview.
This was your very best and most interesting interview yet Steve!!! This should be a minimum 10 part series!!! My wife and I so enjoyed parts 1 and 2!!!
That was a very good interview
I love this interview with Larry 🙌🏼What a super huge hearted friend of Elvis Presley 👑⚡️I wish so so much Elvis got his way and could live out his passion for more years to come ! God ‘s Plan took over 😞RIP EP ⚡️⚡️⚡️Thank you Steve for sharing this amazing time you shared having Larry on 🤝❤️😊
Thank you so very much Steve for this outstandingly wonderful interview and big thanks to Larry too! Enjoy you holiday you real TCB guy!
Thanks John
Wow beautiful interview!!!! Amazing!
As always Steve this was awesome the video keep getting better an better wish u could get billy smith an his wife on ur show still the best channel on CZcams ur native friend here thanks 🙏
That's what I used to think, but then again, do you really think there are any more stories for Billy to tell? After All the King's Men and Revelations of the Memphis Mafia and MMK, what's left? Some of their videos are only 5 minutes long, and they've pretty much run out of things to talk about. These days they usually just answer questions. It would be great to hear if he would talk about something we haven't heard, but I don't think there's anything left.
I sure Larry knew elvis but I do not know if he knew Larry that personal great interview have a great vacation
Wow! That was great. I liked the singing along to Roy Orbison story: imagine being privileged enough to have heard Elvis sing along to songs. I will listen to the How Great Thou Art album differently from now on...... and the story of Darlene was touching. I glad you didn't talk about when Elvis died: it often dominates the narrative. Thank you Steve and thank you Larry.
I would of loved to hear Elvis sing along with Roy Orbison, I knew Elvis loved Roy, I'm a fan of Roy Orbison
Larry is very grounded and a wise genuine person
Exceptional interview, thanks, Steve!
Glad you enjoyed it Charles
I could listen to Larry talk about Elvis all day 😄 It's incredible how Elvis had so many good things planned for his life, but we never got to see that happen. Still, he left us with so much 💔
Hope you get another long interview with Larry, we get a real glimpse into Elvis the man through him.
Steve....Larry is very articulate....you can tell the honesty in his voice.He knew the real Elvis....personal friend and you can tell they were very close......maybe even the closest friend.Thanks for posting this.Enjoy your vacation...you deserve a nice rest and a change of thought.
Thanks Alfred
I could listen to Larry for much more than these 2 chats, the best yet! Thanks Steve!
Great stories by a true friend of Elvis. Some heard before and some I had not heard. Really really interesting interview. Thank you Steve
Thank You for remembering all of us during your vacation
Enjoying Larry Geller interview...although not a fan of his.
Love and Peace
Maryjane Kasian
You're welcome
Crazy fabulous...Elvis, John and Paul..singing together.
Steve, I love your style of interviewing. You let the guest shine! You've had great interviews. Have you asked Anita Wood yet?
I am trying to get Anita on the show yes
What a fantastic second interview with Larry Gellar, Steve. Just as informative and brilliant as the first. My heart was breaking listening to Larry's talking about Elvis' s awareness of the necessary changes for his health and future goals and eliminating some of the toxic people around him, but sadly this was largely thwarted by Colonel Parker. Thanks again for this wonderful interview with Larry, and I am looking forward to more interviews by you with Larry. After the first interview I have ordered and just received "If I can Dream, Elvis's Own Story" by Larry Gellar from Amazon, and I cannot wait to read it. TCB.
I finally listened to Part 2 of Larry's interview. He said what Ginger said, "Elvis was going to clean house." What a shame he didn't live to accomplish that and sooo much more! Another great interview Steve; thank you!
When Larry said only 2 other people knew about the changes he was wanting to make, Vernon and Charlie Hodge, I want to say Billy Smith also knew something about it. Billy has talked about the last few months of Elvis' life him talking about changes he was going to make including firing Joe Esposito as road manager, and asking Billy if he could do it. But, he also talked about taking a break in Hawaii to get back in focus.
Your right Doug
I gonna ask Billy if I make it to Elvis week
Doug this is my opinion I was told there are 3 people that used Elvis at the end to get what they could off him. Noone will say who they r because they still alive. I think Ginger and Larry are 2 of them. That is my.opinion I wouldnt trust them as far as I could throw either of them.
@@debsmith1956 who told you there were three people that tried to get what they could from Elvis? Ginger I could maybe see. Larry, what did he possibly get , or was he trying to get from Elvis? In fact, Larry had brought some new books for Elvis to read on the tour he was supposed to go on, and Elvis was so excited he wanted Larry to bring them by the night before. Larry gets a lot of negative guff from some of the Memphis Mafia guys, because they didn't relate to him. However, the important thing was that Elvis did relate to Larry, and I'm happy that Elvis had one person he could have long, deep, existential talks with in Larry. I'm sorry that some of the Mafia guys didn't like Elvis having that special bond with Larry but they could have talked to Elvis about that stuff too, but didn't.
@@dougdickason actually it was Dave Hebler that told me that. If I make it to Elvis week I gonna see if I guess if he wi just say if I right or wrong. He gets a bad rap because of the book. You gotta hear him tell it but ehst was in ig was not whst the three of yhem said tk the guy who authored it. My guess of the three is 1. The Colonel he just wanted to make money. Hell who would get Vernon to sign over control of Elvis likeness on the day he died.2. Ginger- she just wanted to say she with Elvis. Noone from the Memphis mafiaiked her or liked them together. Billy Smith says to this day he was sick to death of Ginger being around Elvis. Had Ginger checked ezrlier msybe he wouldnt have died. 3. Larry Geller I have included him because noone from the Memphis mafia liked him at all to include Vernon. So there must be something going on there noone is telling..
@@dougdickason you know I will always tell you what I can or what I was told.
I just love Larry Gellar. All of his interviews about his long friendship with Elvis ooze with love and admiration of the king. I think Larry really knew Elvis more than anyone including his family and other close friends. Larry and Elvis were on the same page spiritually speaking. It isn't until we get to know what a person is inside that we can say we truly know them. Their unique friendship was based on their mutual love for spiritual truth. If Elvis and Pricilla had ever got to know one another on that same level, they would never had separated. Surely GOD lead Larry and Elvis to meet each other. Elvis needed Larry's friendship and visa versa.
Larry is a good man. He has class.
Steve I like much interview thanks good holiday
Thanks Edwige
And Elvis did all those things and much much more!
This reminds me of bumping into an elderly retired neighbour or perhaps an elderly relative. Standing and chatting and before you know it you're back in 1972 with them in some pub. Only difference being this was utterly fascinating and I didn't want it to end! Larry has some great stories. He's very eloquent and his voice has a sort of calming effect on the listener.
Thank you Steve, that was deep but a great interview again :))
Ah, Larry is absolutely wonderful and I love listening to his way of storytelling and sharing all his beautiful memories of Elvis Presley. As if he’s reliving all the events and conversations with him while sharing his memories. Thank you for this interview it’s been such a pleasure listening to Larry again.
What a wonderful friend to Elvis
I just received both of his books for my Birthday in July and then my son came in a few days later & as a surprise gave me another Larry Gellar book , 1st edition and signed by him. I haven’t even opened it yet because I want too peruse it and wrap it back up since I have a duplicate. It was a thoughtful gift from my adult son who is also an Elvis fan & works the internet to get me items I’ve tried for forever to get, but he had the technical skills and I love him deeply for going out of his way. Wonderful interviews with Larry. You get the best people. I’ve written to him & he has replied. He loved Elvis so much & it shows. I’ve never heard a bad word come out of his mouth about Elvis. That’s a true friend indeed. Can you imagine Elvis healthy & happy again & touring singing Gospel & spiritual songs for the World to hear & see? What a beautiful gift he would have given us. So sad sometimes that I just cry, but other times I read & listen to stories of him inspiring many of us already. He’s done it to me. I felt as if I didn’t cry at a point in my life I would get sick. I’ve been the happy but stoic one. Then I listened to the new Elvis in Nashville CD. Listened to Bridge Over Troubled Water & How the Web Was Woven stripped raw with Elvis’s voice right up front to hear without a lot of noise around him & I cried for an hour & 1/2. But it was so cathartic for me. Every week I listen to his Gospel songs and I get my dose of his music everyday. Sometimes I laugh,other times I cry or dance or sing. What a beautiful gift he left us. To sing with such passion and being so emotive that he reaches down into ones soul & grabs it and won’t let go till we get the message. It’s an inspirational gift that just keeps on giving for generations to come. May he RIP & be singing & happy with his family and full of God’s Grace. Thanks for all the work you do setting up these interviews for us. It’s greatly appreciated & hopefully you’ll get a cup of tea soon. 😂😂🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🎸❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼☕️
Lovely, Larry Geller interview, thank you, Steve.
cheers steve. The may 21 1977 story makes me so mad and sad. Good work mate!
thanks steve for putting this video together i have a lot of time for larry hope you are well your friend from suffolk
Fascinating and compelling interview yet again, thank you to everyone concerned.
Thanks Steve and Larry 👍
Billy Smith knew about Hawaii, he told me over 1 yr ago
Thanks again Steve!
Cheers Glen
that was so good thank you
The thing is, I saw Larry telling the same story in a video, and in that version he said that he told Elvis Why not take a year off and go to Hawaii, and get healthy, etc. and then Elvis said, That's a good idea, that's what I'll do. Here, he's saying it was Elvis' idea. Makes me wonder what to believe. Also, everybody else says that when they even mentioned the pills, Elvis would get furious and tell them to mind their own business. Here, Larry says that Elvis brought it up himself, and acknowledged that he had a problem, something everyone else says he would never do. Don't know what to believe, because if someone admits they have a problem, that's half the battle right there, but everyone else says Elvis would never admit that.
I agree with you, we don't know who or what to believe anymore when they talk about Elvis!!
Katgirlblue..you are right. Elvis had a problem. The problem was he was very ill..many illnesses for which he took many meds and which had unwanted side effects Another problem is the people around never acknowledged his ilnesses preferring to say he was an abuser of the meds. The problem is he needed meds just to live and function normally. Elvis came up with the ideas as to change the direction of his life..getting healthy, making movies, firing Parker, touring Europe, and having a gospel tour with the Stamps..all Elvis ideas.Larry and Chatlie were his friends and understood him. Billy was a semi-Judas. Others such as Red and Sonny were Judases. Martty and Lamar were bearers of false infotmation and were jealous if Elvis. For better and more ttuthful information read Sally Hiedel' book, Destined to Die Young..a real eye opener fot a change.
Katgirlblue .. I think near the end .. I think he knew he was in trouble ... before that he was in denial n yes he would shoot people down or fire them ... like he did with red sonny n dave.
Hey Margaret ... I thought he needed all the pills!!!! Why would he want to come of them all .so much for sally hoedels second hand knowledge!!!!!
@@jrc8640 She interviewed his medical professionals doctorss, nurses, hospital physicians his confidants and friends without agendas and got their accounts. They did not seek revenge or money for their informationor stories.She interviewed people who knew his medical history.Her sources are much more reliable than Red and Sonny in their book written by a yellow journalism writer in the National Enquirer.She had no motivation of greed or money..she wants to dispel all the lies he has had to endure. You as a so called fan should to.You should want his real legacy to be out there and not years and years of fabrications and innuendo..Who wants to admire the kind of person you think he was. Nobody ,but he was not your person you and others have created. Too mant confidants say otherwise. But you want to believe the worst. Too bad. You likely, otherwise, are a nice guy.
What a great interview, especially after weeks of depressing covid news in Australia. Yes I would love to have been in the car listening to Elvis singing along to Only The Lonely. Amazing. And yes we've heard some of these stories before, but gee it was extra special hearing it on Elvis The Ultimate fan channel. Special thanks Steve for asking my questions, and Larry for responding so beautifully ❤
Thanks for your kind comments and support
Fantastic job, Steve
Thanks Sarah
We, we, we, me, me, me!! Sorry, but who was the star Elvis or Larry?? It may all of been true but I would have liked to hear Elvis's version of these happenings . I just can't take in everything he says, maybe the only thing he was right about is that they all used and misused Elvis ( him included)!!!
The Beatles just made him realize that he was still the best and had so much talent to unleash and that's what he did in the '68 Come Back Special and what followed.
He didn't need Larry Gellar to become special, he was already a beautiful soul from birth!
Thanks Steve!
Well said vilma .. Tcb always
It is Larry’s story about his time with Elvis. Not sure what else you would expect him to say. For me, I thought Larry kept Elvis front and centre in the narrative.
@@AnthonyKiyola you said it " Larry's story"!! He talks as if it was only him and Elvis all the way. I find him obsessive, as if Elvis only related with him.
@@vilmamoro1809 It would be hard for him to tell another person’s story.
Vilma he can't be that bad ... you talk the time to listen ...mmmmmm
💕💖✨Darling, Darlene ✨💖💕
I won't consider my life a TOTAL success unless I eventually own one of Elvis's belts.
....WHICH I WILL wear, btw.
His mother was a brilliant woman, Elvis must remember all his life that warning, never belive she was right 😔
But a woman feel different wiked people 🙏
Ty Steve….
You're welcome
It seems that if THIS guy couldn't save someone with his positive view and outlook....NO ONE could.
Geller is the feller!!!
Talk to others who are alive that were around Elvis about Larry and they smile some won't make comments others say Larry never let's the truth get in the way of a good story , I'm sure many fans believe in Larry others wonder why his stories change constantly?? All you can say is Larry is Larry 😉😂
Learn punctuation
@@Vibeagain 🤣🤣🤣🤣
16:53 Look how good Elvis looked as late as May of that/'the' year. Of course not at his peak....but certainly not someone that couldn't turn it around. I saw a documentary one time about Jimi Hendrix where one of the people interviewed said that Jimi CHOSE to 'go'. He called it an "alpha jerk"....path he 'decided' to take....even as an 'experiment' to SEE if 'Jimi Hendrix' could die. I would NEVER disrespect Elvis by saying that he 'chose' to leave us....but I DO feel that he wasn't very motivated to keep 'going on'. As Sonny said, after Hawaii it just seemed that Elvis had and saw no more mountains to climb. 'Aloha'....STILL one of the greatest, if not THE greatest, singular achievements in world entertainment history. I'm tempted to say in world history in general.
Lisa Marie was so upset with them as well. She said they were worse than her father but were quick to condem him.
I can't believe that there is no film of Elvis and the Beatles singing together when they met. Priscilla had her cine-camera and there are lots of private moments that she filmed. Why didn't Larry say what they sang.
He might have forgotten what they sang.
Mafia lackies wouldnt even let tom jones elvis friend record them singing together.
Your right they wouldnt but that wasnt the Memphis Mafias doing that was at the Colonel's say so. Everything he did had to do with getting him more money. Hell Elvis made him rich.
I'm not going to malign the Colonel...though I've heard some PRETTY bad things about him and his past. But I DO feel that he broke his promise to Elvis's Mother....to protect Elvis. And that would have made ME feel the worst.
Larry has told the story about the incident at the hotel with Parker in Louisville a million times, what Larry doesn't say is Elvis didn't want to do what he didn't want to as for working he wanted and needed to work many forget that the Lisa Marie cost him a million dollars which he borrowed and was in debt as he spent money as fast as he made it , Parker was a brilliant promoter but a poor manager, its obviously in 77 he was in decline just look at the set list through out 77 the shows were filled with more solo's from the band and less of him singing,
My question has always been why Vernon didn't do more to help his son ? Of course Larry likes to insinuate that he was closer to Elvis than anyone truth is he was probably on the outer?? Through out the 70's Elvis was in no shape to do any movies he may have dreamed about them but he knew it was never going to happen, Elvis resented the Beatles for what ever reason remember what he said to Nixon about the Beatles and particular Lennon in 1970 .
Parker made Elvis extremely wealthy as himself but Parker had entwined himself to a point Elvis couldn't afford financially to be rid of him and Elvis knew that .
Whoever said Elvis resented the Beatles? Fabricated rumor. Elvis could not have care less about them. z Elvis wS a bigger star
@@margarettaylor8107 obviously he did as the transcripts recorded at the White house December 1970 he was trying to get the Beatles deported especially Lennon he told Nixon Lennon was a communists so he obviously resented them and in some respects jealous of there popularity maybe you can do some research??? Or ask Steve here as I'm sure he's aware of it as most fans are
@@Dale3765 I have heard what you said but Jerry Schilling was there and he said Elvis never askd Nixon to do that nor did Nixon request that. This is just one of many fabrications told.I do not know how this fabrication got started. Schilling says it is not so.Besides, it was the other way around. It was the Beatles who were jealous of Elvis.Lenon said Elvis died after the army.Paul has said bad things.There is a video of them mocking Elvis. They were classless. Elvis always said there was room for everybody.
Marty Lacker said that Paul McCartney and Elvis took turns playing Elvis' piano. It is highly unlikely that Elvis had a left-handed guitar or bass for Paul McCartney to jam on, unless Paul knew how to play a right-handed guitar held upside-down (which some lefties can do).
I'm sorry! It's heartbreaking to hear Larry say that Elvis hated making those movies. But what did Elvis do about it? Nothing. He could have said to Wallis/Paramount/Parker, "Find me a half-decent script or I won't do any more of your movies. I'm going home, call me when you've found one." But he din't. He could have shown his displeasure by fumbling his lines so often that it would have caused a delay it it's release and cost a bundle to do all those retakes of a scene. So it's his fault. Wallis and Paramount would have probably sued him for not living up to his contractual obligation. But I'm sure that his movie contract never contained a clause that sti[ulated thatn he had to make bad movies. Even if the case when to court, Elvis would have won. But it wouldn't have because of all the negative press that Wallis and Paramount would have gotten. I love Elvis but he had no backbone. He also could have refused to sing those studip songs in each movie. No one said that RCA had to release a full album of 10 songs with each movie. Elvis at the very least could have insisted that it he'd sing no more than five songs for each movie and the other five would be original recording on each album. . That way he would still fulfill his RCA recording contract. Case in point, Tomorrow Is a Long Time written by Bob Dylan was included in the Spinout album as a bonus song. And the idiots at RCA didn't even see the great potential of the song and release it as a single. There are many things that Elvis could have done. Once again Elvis had no backbone. The same thing with not touring the world like he wanted to.
Well, I don't know how Paul played one of Elvis' guitars, since Elvis was right handed.
He did like he did other flipped it upside down. Alot of people dontcwant to go through the hassle of restringing.
@@debsmith1956 you can't play it backwards AND upside down. I think Paul was playing piano.
@@katgirlblue your wrong I know alot of people that does that. You can flip a guitar over anf leftys c azs n play them
Cheaper than re-stringing
Respectfully. But I know it can be done
I find it sad that you go to the trouble to bring these interviews to us and looking down I see derogatory comments and long winded argumentive threads as the result.. None of us were there, or close personal confidantes of Elvis Presley.
The man has never to my knowledge spoke one unkind word about Elvis Presley so like Ann Margaret he gets my respect.
The rest of the Memphis Mafia didn't like him so thats supposed to mean something. They didn't like him because Elvis did and wanted to explore more in life than what the others were capable of providing it appears. They said flat out they had no interest in these things.
I appreciate anyone who relays anything positive. Enough negativity for a man gone for 44 years.Vicki
He drags out explaining
I knew he would have gotten rid of the Colonel. He could have gone on gospels show and his fans would have been happy. If he took a year off and got fit he would have been awesome and the backup groups would have be with him. He had outgrown the Memphis Mafia and needed to get rid of the heavy handed ones and they wrote their rotten book. After all his loyalty they pulled the worst possible form of betrayal.I lost my respect for them. I don’t care they should not have done it Elvis had an eight year old daughter and so called friends did this to him. No you guys were wrong and bear some of the stress that killed him while taking all you could from him, Shame on you.
So larry is responsible for the horrible hair in the later movies. Good to hear from larry again though.
The 1964 to 1967 hair
That was the hair style back then ... never as bad as the Beatles scraggy heads.😂
As much as I like listening to Larrys story’s about Elvis..but when he talks about Parker that’s the only bad story he he tells, as bad as that it is we all know Parker didn’t like Larry and the way he was leading Elvis..’the book’ that was bad for Elvis, and if Larry knew all this why didn’t he try and help Elvis before he knew how bad it was..don’t get me wrong it’s obvious Larry cared, but I think he likes to tell a story..I maybe wrong...
Tina: that's how we are in California, spiritual, we really love ❤ our friends.
