You don't have to be insecure to feel bad because of rude people behaving bad.
Too true!!!
Consider the source, in my opinion. My grandmother used to say, " If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all". In my opinion, Elvis' appeal went beyond his looks. Yes, the package was nice, but his kindness, generosity, respect for people, and his love for God made him a phenomenal human being.
yes, bravo!
@johnnynotenglish9751look at Carlson
If Elvis was alive today, he'd still be gorgeous at 88! ❤️
OMG 🙈🙈🙈
I totally agree 10000 percent my friend love my Mr songman but love my Mr goofy always more tcb and TLC always and forever. 💋💯
And about 500 pounds.
@@JCO2002And even if that were the case, he'd still be gorgeous!!!
He is. Check out pastor bob Joyce.
It shows that Elvis had a very sensitive side too. Thats the beauty of Elvis , Very confident , but sensitive too
I have never heard that Elvis ever bad mouthed anyone publicly. He was gracious as always. Carson not so much…. 🥵
I never heard Johnny say anything mean.
@@saphireblue3563nor me I think this is just another tall tail plus there are lots of clips of the Carson show out there and I never seen one of him sayin that.
He used to give the Reagans a bit of stick. @@saphireblue3563
I thought Carson was above this. It didn't seem he was so mean spirited.
Carson was rude and if crossed like he thought Joan rivers did he never spoke to her again
Elvis was a very sensitive person. Anyone with a heart as big as his would be. By the way, no one has ever made a movie about Carson or paid to see his home. As Elvis aged his voice, to me, became even more beautiful. He wasn't fat. He was bloated and ill. He was the most beautiful man God ever put on this Earth.
That's right!!!! Elvis 😊❤was such a Sweetheart 💜 👑 God Bless Elvis!!!!! Thanks to Elvis, I don't fear death!!! I will get to go to Heaven and see my Elvis!!!! So wonderful!!!!! 🙏 😇 🕊️ 🐑 🌹❤⭐ 🌞 ☀️😂
Yes
That's Right!!!!!
Yeah except for the time I read he insulted and embarrassed 1 of his dancers/backup singers in front of everyone..🤔
@@joeyoconnor3039 No one is perfect. Elvis gave her a car to compensate for his misbehaviour.
Elvis Presley was a very sensitive and empathetic guy; therefore he could be hurt easily. Carson undoubtedly was jealous of Elvis and tried to elevate himself by demeaning Elvis.
He was a comedian. Stop
I don't think Carson even said that.
He was a comedian but his humor was never cruel. He never said that.
l remember seeing a magazine in the UK with Elvis on the front cover and the headlines Elvis turns 40 being a Elvis fan and l was 15 years old at the time l opened the magazine to see a very handsome Elvis, He just looked the same just a little older, l was expecting to see a gray haired Elvis with wrinkles as everyone l had seen at 40 looked old yet there he was black hair not a wrinkle or a hair out of place and that Elvis smile, He had put on a little weight but looked great
He was on xover of PEOPLE, magazine, .. Elvis is 40, but th pic of him used is from 1972, I know it well , in th blue suit, blk & wht shirt, is from Interview before Madison Sq Garden show, Aug. 72!!
And u know he started dyeing his hair jet black, after LoveMeTender movie? To be more dramatic, & wore eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow, on stage
Elvis was very handsome at every time...no matter what....He will always be the most handsome and the most caring person on this planet❤❤❤❤.
At the end of the day Elvis was a human being. Right to hes end he was a big hunk burning love.💚🤍🧡
When you are famous, people will always say mean things. Sad but true! Thanks.
I have met so many people in my life who just think elvis was a fat guy, in tight jumpsuits, with a stupidly deep voice and that he liked to say uh huh huh plus of course "thank you very much." When I was a teenager a friend of mine refused to listen to elvis Bridge over troubled water take one. I insisted he must listen as its so good. He dismissed it and said he didn't wanna hear it. Didn't wanna hear the (insert fake mocking elvisy noises and moves).
A few weeks later I told him my cousin and I had covered it and sent him the file (elvis BOTW take one!). He went nuts over it saying my cousin has an amazing voice and oh my god does he have any more recordings cos this is so good. I then revealed I had tricked him 😅. Loved the look on his face.
It was in th later yrs, Elvis had many health problems, was all th drugs he needed, caused bloating, plus his fatty southern diet, & those fried Peanut butter, bacon , banana sandwiches, he loved. !
You are so right about all that you said!! Kudos to you and thank you!! ♥️
I hate it when I hear of people saying derogatory things about Elvis it makes me so angry knowing what a sensitive person he could be ! On stage he was so different but off there was something so vulnerable about him I’m sure he could have said some nasty things back but he was brought up to be polite and respectful and he’s still loved and remembered by millions all these years after his passing so I think that says it all …..and Johnny who ? 😂xx
Elvis was the most handsome man his entire life!
People can be so rude and uncaring about others feelings!
Elvis was a sensitive man from what we are learning. It is so hard to believe that he had insecurities about himself.
Thank you for your video!
Elvis had such a Sweet 🎂🧁 expression on his face, always!!!! So did Chadwick Boseman!!!! Rest in Peace, Kings!!!! 👑 👑 🙏 🙏
Thanks for sharing this but I remember the Elvis Is Fat and Forty, but he’ll Always be the G.O.A.T and Everyone Knows It ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I remember when Elvis turned 40..it was a pretty big media event not unlike Elizabeth Taylor who had turned 40 three years earlier. You’re so right, turning 40 then seemed like you were done, over the hill! Sad he felt so hurt by it..❤
Anyone would feel bad by someone calling you fat!
@@goldenretrieverpuppies958literally
@@goldenretrieverpuppies958 True!
Most of us loved Elvis no mater what. He proved that. I went to his concert a few months before he died and I still loved him. Pisses me off that people would be so mean.
People can be very cruel...
Elvis is so good looking. It‘s sad and unnecessary that he was insecure.
I didnt care how skinny or heavy he was he was as handsome and beautiful as ever. I personally liked him bigger.. ❤❤❤❤
ELVIS u will always b the love in our life … we love u no matter
You Handsome Gorgeous Hunk of a Man
ELVIS FOREVER

Elvis is so handsome
Always has been. Hos heart is so od, and not enough good things can be said about Elvis
He was , is and will be the most handsome man on the planet!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!
For Elvis...

@@Memow-pk1ng Yes. Love his performance of this song.
Elvis was such a good human being- PERIOD! Old lady be damned...
Thank u for sharing this most of us put pounds on as we get older😂👍👍👌
Hélas
Shame on Johnny saying that Elvis was fat.
Older is not always wiser. That old crank lady's remarks were just rude to Elvis. His weight was his business. As we know he respected his elders so it makes sense that he would not have said anything rude to her even though he could have. I love seeing Elvis looking great but I love Elvis no matter how he looked. From the heart.💖❤️💕💙
That lady just wanted Elvis to give her daughter, who worked at the theatre, a free car. According to Billy, Elvis actually was going to give her one. Billy convinced him not to (rightly so).
Elvis always, seemed to me, a sensitive gentleman. When he kissed the girls at his concerts, he always seemed to be so gentle and tenderly.
In my opinion Elvis is the most beautiful man ever. I always thought that for years and long before I actually became an Elvis fan. 40 in the 70s was considered 'over the hill'. Not like today, Beyonce is over 40 and no one think she 'over the hill'. Even when he got a bit heavier he was still beautiful and did not needed an eye lift at all.
Sad.... we say cruel things about each other when EVERYONE is flawed and has their own struggles...
I would say Elvis was a sensitive soul somebody that's easy you could hurt and shouldn't I don't care who you are you shouldn't say things like that about them
Never thought Carson was funny even one bit!!
I’ve never liked Carson, he always looked old even way b4 he should have. Elvis has always been gorgeous from the start to the end. ❤
Carson would've been. 30yrs old, in 56, when El. became big sensation . He was from era of ole fogey music, Sinatra, PComo, B. Crosby.. big band, swing jazz, so was too old appreciate Elvis kind music ,
Tho Bill Haley already had hit with Rock around Turlock, in 54, was E. put R& R on worldwide map !
Like me, was in early 20s, when Beatles on ED. S, Feb. 64, didn't care for them much, but did like Rolling Stones, Who, LedZepplinn, .. & Doors, Hendrix, Joplin, CCR
He wasn't one of the best looking men. He Was THE best looking man
Another great clip!! I feel people were either fake or very rude to Elvis because of jealousy, envy, greed, and very ignorant. My feelings would be hurt as well. Elvis was above everyone else comprehension so being at the top is a lonely place.❤
I went true the same body shaming by my mother... People can be very mean when you go through a crise as health, a divorce, lost job, unsuccees job...
Elvis Presley went through a midle crise life in all area of his life.
Same
How Johnny Carson stayed on T.V. so long I will never know. That was a stupid thing to say!Elvis looked just as handsome at 40 as he did at 20!Never heard of Johnny Carson week!❤
I've heard that Johnny Carson did not like Elvis because Elvis would never go on his show. I do remember watching Carson one night and his guest was Tom Jones, a close friend to Elvis. Carson and Jones was talking about how Elvis was Tom Jones idol and Carson, in a dismissive voice asked Jones, "What is so great about Elvis?" Tom Jones responded, his voice man! Elvis's voice!! I would kill to have that voice! Carson just dismissed it and you could tell that Carson was not an Elvis fan.
Yes Tom & Elvis were good friends, Tom was already in Vegas, in 67, & when Do. got his in 69, he watched Tom, & picked up some his moves
Elvis was completely under Th. Col. control, as talk shows pay scale, celebrities are there to promote their movies, books, albums/ records. El in 75 didn't need any promoting, & Th Col never allow El anywhere if didn't get his demand of $$. That's why th Col never allowed El. out of U S, bcz was not citizen, & couldn t get passport.
@@Memow-pk1ng- It's true, by 1975 going on the Tonight Show would probably have been unnecessary.
But one other opportunity earlier was passed by also.
Since Elvis' special in 1968 was an NBC show, and his career was in need of a boost, it would have made good sense to do at least a brief appearance with Carson to promote it. Carson was still based in New York at the time, and not yet in Burbank, CA, which is where Elvis taped his program, but it still could have been arranged.
One of my favourite quotes about Elvis came from Johnny: “If life was fair, Elvis would be alive and all his impersonators would be de ad”
I wonder if this footage from Johnny saying Elvis is 40, is on CZcams. Probably will be
Ahh yeah good line. Thatnks for adding that
Yes, he said that after Elvis died. He felt guilty all the fat jokes. I'm old enough to know all this as this was a thing at the time. Lots of negative mail to Johnny's show and he had to fix it.
I'm from South Carolina. A lot of Southern people Had low self esteem . We were always portrayed as "HICKS, STUPID, and meet MEN or women AT OUR FAMILY REUNIONS." It does hurt. BUT====we know it's not true. When the hurt wears off we either get mad or laugh about their ignorance.
Southern folks are wise and they’ve got the soul and better food too. Never mistake kindness for weakness.
Sherry darling you are absolutely gorgeous!
Well, Carson was a mouthy drunk so touché.
Si no me equivoco Elvis le contestó a esta señora mayor " si, gordo pero guapo "
Gracias por compartir .
ELVIS FOREVER ❤
RIP Elvis God rest your soul. We still have narrow minded people today it hasn't gotten any better. We're all going to have our judgement day.🙏👃🙌
I saw a picture of Elvis in 1972 and then another from 1973. He was much heavier in 72. In fact, the guy that was putting the Hawaii special together told Elvis if he lost weight, he would do it, otherwise there would be no worldwide live concert!! Needless to say, Elvis looked great, and the rest is as they say "history."
Remember th Aug 72 interview, in blue suit& big belt buckle? From Madison Sq. Garden, he looked fantastic, tho was sweating, & been on his regular crap load of drugs,/ eyes dilated, .. that show was one his best, animated, energetic
Th Aloha H Jan 73, was slimmed down, but wad more subdued, less energetic.. was concentrating more on his voice.. & estimated. 1.5 BILION. watched, & in over 40 countries!!
@@Memow-pk1ng dilated pupils are large, you mean pinned pupils!!..
I totally understand his insecurities, biggest thing I've learned is old people have no filters they just say what's on there mind, they might not mean anything by it but it does hurt. Hearing these stories make him more human and I love that, be it good or bad, we've all heard "Elvis the legend" I love that you're giving us "Elvis the man".
Can you imagine looking as good as elvis and being insecure! These people who criticise him should look in the mirror ! Johnny Carson!!! Please.
ELVIS WAS ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL IN ALL DIFFERENT AGES in his LIFE WEIGHT FLUCTUATES BUT HE BECAME MORE HANDSOME. AT THE END I THINK HE LOOKED ADORABLE ASEXY TEDDY BEAR THAT I WOULD LOVE TO HUG. HE ALWAYS WAS BEAUTIFUL & SO WAS HIS VOICE. WE LOVE & MISS YOU SO MUCH ELVIS. RIP
Elvis , getting old is life...we do... Never another Elvis....ever..
Każdy strój Elvisa , był nie tylko drogi, ale mial swoją symbolikę, swoje znaczenie, a poza tym były przepiękne!!!
Good god most of us don't stay the same as we were in our 20 or 30 surely it was about his beautiful voice and person he was inside some people get so jealous when they see such a beautiful soul inside and out love this man forever xxx
Many have said Johnny behind the scenes was a very mean, whiskey alcoholic. So, it doesn't surprise me really on this story... Screw him!!
Elvis was a great Man..., His 70 tis.... I miss Him total, and I know Elvis since ALOHA FROM HAWAII... 🌺🌻🌺🌻, Elvis Rest in Peace 16. August 1977.... The 🌎 stood still, love You Elvis Aaron... 💗💗💗
Elvis was always a very sensitive person. Even his cousin Billy has said that you couldnt even be whispering around him because he thought you would be talking about him. Elvis could have been fat and 80 and still would have had the looks and charisma that Carson would never have. ❤️🇦🇺
Elvis was never fat, at least by today’s standards. Whatever weight he carried was never able to keep him from being the hottest mover ever to be on stage. A person should never be judged for any reason , except ignorance!
In later years, yes was more bloated, then fat,.. weighed 350 at autopsy,
@@Memow-pk1ng , I don't believe he ever weighed that much.
@@Memow-pk1ng- There's nothing that states he weighed 350 pounds, either before or after he died.
There's only one mention of weight , on the medical examiner's report, which is listed as 250.
@@Memow-pk1ngHe never weighed 350 at autopsy, he was listed at 230 pounds when he died, the heaviest he ever got was about 260 😂
but let's see who would like to be treated like this? sex symbol or not. we would be hurt if we were treated like this. Elvis was no different than us. Nowadays this is called discrimination. Elvis had plenty of strength throughout his life and career to endure all of this criticism.
Johnny Carson actually said his blue suede shoes were orthopedic and he had a hip lift and could only swivel in the presence of a certified nurse. He also said he looked good at 40.
Billy may have been thinking of the National Enquirer story that was their front page lead "Elvis Fat and Forty"
This has been researched........ But did Carson really utter to millions of viewers that Presley was 'fat and forty?' The comedian's Tonight Show clip licensing database, available only to entertainment and broadcast media, holds the indisputable key. It contains nearly all of his Tonight Show episodes [i.e. monologues] post-1972. In viewing the video and reading the transcript, the late night host said the following on the night of Jan. 8, 1975:
'Guess who celebrated their 40th birthday today?' Elvis Presley. He is now wearing orthopedic blue suede shoes [audience laughter]. He looks very young, though, but I hear he got an orthopedic, I mean he got a surgical hip lift…he is only allowed to swivel now in the presence of a registered nurse. That's what the nurse told me'.
Nowhere did Carson mention Presley being 'fat and forty'. The only aspect where Presley might have taken offense revolves around the corny 'orthopedic blue suede shoes' bit. So why did Presley perceive Carson's joke in such a visceral reaction? Perhaps he felt he had been betrayed, since Carson had earlier visited Presley several times backstage in Vegas and complimented his spell-binding performance. We will never know the full story....but the tape for that nights show does not lie.
Carson didsatire, of all celebrities, he often made jokes about Pres. Carter. & Reagan
Don't think he was fan of Elvis, as he was 30 yrs old in 56, his music was ole fogey, Sinatra, Como, Crosby..
The woman who said that has zero emotional intelligence. I never understood that, and there are still so many people like that. Especially the fat shaming, I see that mainly as an American thing. The arrogance that you think you have the right to judge someone on their appearance is sheer arrogance. It really is beyond me. But I'm not above giving them a reply.
It is even more hurtful because Elvis never criticized anyone (at least not in public).
What a thing to say to anybody, but especially Elvis. And he was still polite to her. Good story David
What's wrong with people who think it's okay to say something about another person's weight, body, anything. They don't know what anyone else is going through or how they handle ignorant comments.
I remember that show that Carson did that. I didn't think it was funny either. Like Carson had no baggage after marrying 15 thousand times.
It's very hard to picked apart like Elvis was.A lot of the stars are.We are a sick society.
Те, кто ходил смотреть на Элвиса как на картинку не любили его. Многие любили Элвиса - идола. А он был человеком и как любой из нас с возрастом старел. Но его голос, его золотое сердце не старели и мы его любим в любом возрасте. Если бы он дожил до наших дней мы бы любили его еще больше, понимая что он сделал для мировой культуры. Дорогие поклонники Элвиса давайте еще больше популизовать его творчество и рассказывать побольше о нем как о человеке. Ведь многие люди не знают о его серйозных заболеваниях и считают его наркоманом.
All of us change a lot when we get older. He was still sexy. 💕💕
Loved Carson, Elvis "fat & forty" was rudely headlined in the news everywhere!! Elvis was a sensitive soul, & didnt deserve that!💫
the king, too good for this earth, forever changing lives
People need to realize that Elvis was not just an unforgettable sexy man a great singer, but we have to realize that though he was 40,ate a lot and took extra meds , he also had glaucoma, diabetes and an inherent faulty gene that could weaken his lungs, his anal cavity causing severe constipation or heart problems. His genetic pool would be something you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy. Please mention the good that Elvis has done. He was only human. He's been dead over 40 years and generations of people still love and miss him. ❤❤❤❤RIP Elvis. I miss you.
@@jettsteari3062 I have nothing against Johnny Carson. The only emphasis I'm making is that Elvis had a very bad gene pool which everyone has said something dif about. A person with half a gene pool like Elvis would be in a lot more pain than what he showed and would want meds or painkillers or whatever to stop the pain. Many of our performers even got addicted to meds that stopped their pain. I can only say it's time to stop blaming the victim and see reality I say this with my personal genetic flaw. Let's focus on the good they did and let them RIP. Thanks for the info you sent. I had no idea. God bless you.
Johnny Carson also said after Elvis died “If life was fair Elvis would still be alive, and all the Elvis impersonators would be dead”
After hearing about that story way back… I went from “here’s Johnny” to “ see you later and take a hike Johnny!”
Carson was a jerk!!! In more ways than that! People can be so cruel! That's an awful thing to do to anyone! We all have insecurities about something! But...Elvis or anyone for that matter ....wouldn't like to be spoken like that... insecure or not!!! That's rude & mean! Imo
Elvis was live today he'd still handsome man
Surprisingly they didn't need another new TV after that junk
Carson threw Elvis under the bus for a cheap joke. He could have said Elvis is 40 today, may he have 40 more! At least if he was a fan.
I saw a video where Elvis was talking about some guy who mentioned Elvis had a " ponch" Elvis said " I got ya ponch......som Bitch." The crowd laughed at what Elvis said. That must've been Jonny Carson that Elvis was talking. about.
Elvis was talking about a newspaper reporter from the city he was playing multiple nights in, maybe Philly.
Elvis was watching Johnn Carson's show when Andy Kaufman did Elvis impersonation there in 1977. He liked it. Ginger wrote about it in her book.
Thanks for that story. Always interesting when it's Elvis. love your videos. your a great TCB person.
I remember reading the Johnny Carson incident in one of the Elvis books. The lady at the Memphian sounds like a real charmer. From what I read, she hadn't been paid yet for the rental.
There is nobody that even comes close. Man or Women. E is the most handsomest person ever, Inside and Out.
Everyone was jealous of elvis thats the top and bottom of it because he was loved by is fans and still is all ways well be the king 👑
Elvis should’ve done Carson. He and his humor would have killed
For me it makes no difference fat
or skinny Elvis was one of the most handsome gorgeous men out there! 😘😍
Even in 77 he was good looking
@@ElvisistheMan_ Absolutely 💯♥️♥️
My man is soooo gorgeous at any age and weight to me it doesn't matter how big he got still love him and still think he's soooo handsome, gorgeous, cute, beautiful, sexy, sweet lovely, awesome and a really beautiful man inside and out love my Mr songman but love my Mr goofy always more tcb and TLC always and forever. 💯💋
I heard about Carson saying that but after Elvis died he said he wished all the Elvis impersonators would go away and the real Elvis could come back 😂
Let me just say this, Elvis had sooo much class, Johnny Carson and that lady wished they had as much class as Elvis did!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
I knew about this, but didn’t know Elvis heard him say it. Surprised he didn’t shoot the television.
I wonder if that contributed to Elivis's prescription drug addiction? He felt it slipping away from him. and he spiraled down and out of control and all his close relations couldn't tell him what to do, only his mamna and she was gone to heaven. He might of felt abandoned and alone, sad if he only new how much he was truly loved!
Elvis drug addiction escalated due to many health problems, Dr Nick overprescribed, & Th Col. overbooked concerts, He worked Elvis to death !
Elvis Presley sempre foi lindo e invejado. Talentoso do início ao fim de sua vida. Inigualável...Isso sei muito bem. Críticas maldosas sempre vão existir e isso é problema sério de quem fala...pura maldade. Elvis Forever
Thanks for this story. I think many people struggle with getting older and the middle aged spread. It comes to us all, mostly, unless you're very lucky or work incredibly hard, constantly to not experience this.
It's not easy, to be revered for being so beautiful and young for so long, to find you are mortal can be very hard. For ordinary people it's hard, but imagine experiencing that as Elvis, I imagine it was probably more difficult for him.
The thing is Elvis was suffering with more than being overwileight, he was also suffering with swelling, which appeared as being overweight.
Johnny probably was pissed off with Elvis for not appearing on his show ..
His Fans to Elvis was EVERYTHING HE GAVE HIS ALL to his fans and I'm sure his feelings could be hurt by nasty remarks just like all of us if we care for someone, we care what they think of us......
Sorry to hear this story!
I think johnny did this because Elvis had not been on the tv show and johnny was frustrated or knew Elvis would not be on the show ?
Th Col would never allow Elvis on ANY tv show, Elvis only did money makers, like Vegas, & touring .
Th popular. Dick Clark BANDSTAND, of course wanted Elvis badly, all th popular singers appeared on it, only Elvis, & Ricky Nelson. never did
I'm sure he cried. He was a sensitive person. He may have gained a few.... who hasn't? It didn't change the person he was or his talent. He was amazing and his music will live on.
I can't believe Johnny Carson said that. He was always very kind. His humor was never mean. I think the MM lied about this as they often did.
Wow! Great video filled with information we would not know until now! Thanks again David! 😎😎😎
You’re welcome and thank you for your appreciation!
Johnny Carson had a mean part to him, just watch the interview with Wayne Newton talking about the time Carson said Newton was gay. Wayne Newton goes into depth about visiting Carson afterwards and threatening him to never say anything like that again. It’s really too bad because Johnny Carson was the best late night comedian there ever was.
He always said wacko things,.. about other stars, entertainers, & made fun of pres. Carter, & Reagan .
It's on here in FLA late night, & I especially enjoy th animals, bought, & his reactions, .. are hilarious.
There was an episode of Carson from around that time period where he says something along the lines that Elvis should sing fat songs. The video clip exists as I’ve seen it before. Yes Elvis psyche was delicate and sensitive by that time concerning his weight but Carson did use the word fat in making the joke towards Elvis. As I said before Carson in my opinion was the best late show host there will ever be. He was a comedian and sometimes they can be pretty harsh. Just look at Don Rickles, king of insult comedy.
Instead getting mad… wished Elvis would toke action instead. Got skinny and told Johnny look at me now. I am skinny again! Take that! Back then there was not much information about gut health.
Ok. Lets look at this. I am 56, i was 10 when Elvis died. I am in Australia, i know NOTHING about Carson but 46 years after Elvis's death ppl still love him just as much. Outside of US how many ppl speak of Carson
Elvis was always handsome and had more tslent than any man on earth. Who does Carson think he is
Back then people weren’t as soft as today and they could take jokes. I think Carson was great and I am pretty sure Elvis didn’t take it that hard as proven by his remark when looking at himself in the mirror. He was Elvis! And no one is cooler than Elvis; everyone knows that….😉
Elvis was human. He was sensitive. Many artists are very sensitive.
