      Darlene Love was a member of the background group The Blossoms. The Blossoms were his background singers at the '68 Comeback Special. But in Vegas and on tour the Sweet Inspirations were his background singers, from 1969 till his last concert in June 1977. Cissy Houston was only five weeks with Elvis and the Sweets.
      So neither Cissy Houston nor Darlene Love were there that night.

    When my beautiful wife was 19 years old, she and her boyfriend at the time, were in line trying to get tickets to see Elvis perform that night at a venue in Lake Tahoe. While they were in line, A large man in a suit approached them and asked my wife if she had a nice dress she could wear, if he got her tickets to the show. She said she did have a peach colored sleeveless gown. So the man explained to them that he is Elvis's assistant and Elvis likes to have pretty women sitting near the stage, so he would get her in. He said to just meet right in front 15 minutes before the show and he would escort them in. So sure enough, later that evening, true to his word, the large man escorted them to a table near the stage. She was very nervous as she had a fake ID, and was sort of shy. Towards the end of the performance Elvis started to sing "Can't Help Falling In Love". he walked over to their table, took my wife by the hand and pulled her on stage and sang the song to her! He then gave her a signed scarf he was wearing. We have that framed in our home... a very special memory for my wife.

    Rock'n Roll
    Country
    Rythym and Blues
    Gospel
    He recorded about 800 songs in his short life.

    NOW you know why he was all sweaty. Elvis was very active on stage, incorporating some of his karate (Black Belt) moves into his act along with his dance moves. And as you saw he also had great sense of humor. He was a very deeply religious, generous and humble man and amazingly enough pretty much just a regular guy! That gained him a lot of appeal.

      Exactly..!!
      And at one point when Elvis was scheduled to play a concert in the new Houston Astrodome there were certain one's in the promotion that didn't want Elvis to have "the Sweet Inspirations" ( his 3 backup singers that happened to be colored Ladies) to be on stage with Him as this was such a hugh venue,, actually the biggest He had ever played live,, and race tensions were still present from the '60's' civil rights movement,,..
      But Elvis told them that "His Girl's" ,, as He called Them,, would be there on stage with Him or He would not perform/play...!!
      And that was the end of that,,..
      'The Sweet Inspirations' were there and nothing else was ever mentioned about "His Girl's" in a negative manner around Him..!!
      Everybody has flaws,, but for whatever Elvis's was,, it's pretty clear that racism wasn't one of His,,..He genuinely loved those Ladies and they said so themselves~☆!!

    I love this young women's reaction. As a boy (in 1956-57) I remember going to a friend's house one afternoon to watch The Mickey Mouse Club. People were just then starting to get TVs. My friend had an older sister, age 16-17, and I was amazed to see that she had covered her ENTIRE bedroom (walls, ceiling ! ) with Elvis posters. The mid-late 1950s were when Elvis first "burst upon the scene." I was still a kind of innocent 10 year old white boy. I liked his music, and knew he was "important somehow" but did not come to understand just who he really was until the early 1970s. I did not hear him in person, but I loved his music and saw him on TV. Guys respected him. Women adored him. His song "Caught in a Trap" is all about his love for women. He was pure magic. There was no one else like him.

      Sorry, I disagree. Karate isn't as effective as it was in MMA competition but in CQB or H2H combat it still is-- especially when the instructors don't care about "rules" but in survival and it's a fight to the death. And by all accounts, until the last 2 years of his life, Elvis could still handle himself that is if he wanted to kill with his bare hands then he could.
      Elvis Presley was an 8th degree black belt in karate. He took an interest in karate in 1958 after he was drafted into the Army and stationed in Germany. His first instructor was a German shotokan stylist named Juergen Seydel who taught Elvis at his off-base housing in Nauheim. During his leaves to Paris he would take private lessons with Tetsugio Murakami, one of Japan's top shotokan stylists, who would help pioneer shotokan in Europe. After Presley’s discharge from the army, he would continue his studies and training in karate.
      Elvis qualified for a 1st degree black belt in 1960 in Memphis with the great Hank Slomanski, a Chito-ryu stylist. The Sergeant Major was one of the first legitimate North American martial arts masters. By the late 1950s, Slomanski was the sensei at Fort Campbell and trained 101st Airborne recruits martial arts. As recorded by STARS AND STRIPES, in the 1950s Slomanski was introduced to Chito-ryu, a Japanese style founded by Dr. Tsuyoshi Chitose. Basically, Chito-ryu is a combination of Goju-ryu and Shorin-ryu karate. He stunned the Japanese karate masters by beating 119 opponents to win a tournament in Japan becoming one of the few non-Japanese to do so.
      Elvis trained at Fort Campbell with members of the 101st Airborne. For his first fight, he squared off against 4th degree black Sgt Saur. Elvis lost after absorbing a flurry of full contact strikes to his body. He was on his hands and knees but as Slomanski put it:
      "I saw Elvis slowly get up with that sneer on his face ... then I saw in his eyes what we usually see only in war: Elvis wanted to kill! As the two men once again clashed I stepped in to break Elvis and Sgt Saur apart but I found out what I wanted to know. The kid was a fighter - not a quitter. Also Sgt Saur would comment that they would occasionally have a beer after training, but he and Elvis never became friends. As a rule Elvis rarely drank, but he made an exception to sit down and have a beer with the boys.”
      There was no favoritism involved. Elvis was awarded his coveted black belt after six weeks of persistent suffering inflicted by Hank Slomanski and the 101 Airborne recruits and future Rangers and Green Berets. In the end, Elvis became only one of a handful of civilians to whom Slomanski, a karate champion and later the future International Commissioner of Karate in the United States, awarded a "Black Belt".
      Slomanski rose through the ranks to end his military career as a Command Sergeant Major, having served in airborne infantry, ranger (commando), and special forces units. His gravestone at Arlington National Cemetery indicates Slomanski served in combat in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. He was awarded three Purple Hearts, one Silver Star, and a Bronze Star for his exceptional leadership as well as injuries sustained while serving in the War. Hank Slomanski was chosen as one of the elite representatives of the original Special Forces established by President John F. Kennedy. He retired from the Army sometime in the mid 1960s.

    It’s also worth mentioning the flawless talent behind the backing vocals and instrumentals; some of whom - along with multiple, prestigious music awards -were later inaugurated into the Rock n Roll Hall of fame.

      For the fame he had I am surprised he lasted as long as he did. People use your fame to get what they want so probably gave him stuff in drinks or telling him it was something else to keep him going.

    I was 16 when Elvis died. I'll always remember, I was at some crummy after school job and of course I was way too cool for his music. But even as a dumb teen I knew something really big and important had left the world. Later in life I met an older guy at my job who actually knew Elvis in the army and was stationed in Germany with him. He said he was a great guy and always took
    care of the guys he served with. No one had to pay for anything when they were out on the town with Elvis.

    When I saw him in concert he sang for 1 hour and 45 minutes. His incredible voice never failed him. I saw him in Pine Bluff, Arkansas 9 months later he passed away. You should listen to fo his studio recordings, And the Aloha from Hawaii. Over 1 billion people have seen that concert. He always gave 100% of himself.

    I'm glad someone so young would examine and look at Elvis and determine how Elvis was a great draw, He wasn't just a showman, a sexy man, even today his performances are wonderous, he is Elvis, he is Elvis. He is the performer of ages, a stage performer, Elvis transcends time and decades! He excelled what everyone was fed as a show. He gave us a show that we never knew.

    I smiled watching you observe him. Yup, welcome to why this guy has had a worldwide fan base for decades after his passing. You’d have to hear more of his song catalog- he recorded about 700 songs- to gain a full appreciation for how he could sing baritone, bass and tenor. He had a great sense of humor, was very philanthropic (and I’m not talking about giving away Cadillacs.) And then there’s his stage presence, kindness towards fans and humility. There have been many wonderful performers over the years but no one has been as beloved and for as long as Elvis Presley.

    68 Comeback Special. Any clip or watch the whole thing as a streaming special. Everything you mentioned about him is in it. To me, in it, he is the epitome of cool.

    I attended an Elvis Presley concert in Minneapolis, Minnesota at the old Met stadium. I was 16 years old in 1975. I went with my older brother and sister and a friend of my brothers. It was in November, cold, but we drove there in my mom's red convertible with the top down singing Elvis songs on old vhs tapes. When Elvis entered the stage the screaming was deafening. Was an incredible experience. I brag to this day I went to an Elvis Presley concert.
