    Elvis is singing about himself here. There is not a true EP fan in this world today that doesn't know that. This man was far more loved than he thought he was, by people he never had the chance to meet.

      @@susyq810 For a man who thought he did nothing worth remembering, he sure hasn't been forgotten and he never will. 2022 showed just how timeless Elvis is and how the world still loves him. So much more than a singer. He’s just as much a historical figure like Washington Lincoln and deserves the same respect. There’s a huge difference between making music and making history. No one else can lay claim to both. It’s the reason he still looms large over music and other artists. Most, including some of the incredibly famous, are simply walking in his footsteps.

    Speaking of Elvis' heart and generosity, here's a story that I heard several years ago, but only read for myself just yesterday. I thought that it would warm your heart, as well. It's taken from Sonny West's book, "Elvis: Still Taking Care of Business.
    “Nothing touched me (Sonny) more than when Elvis bought a wheelchair for a poor elderly black woman who lived near Humes High School. Marty Lacker read a story about her in the newspaper. She had no legs from the hips down and got around on boards with roller skates affixed to the bottom. Marty showed the article to Elvis, and a nod of his head set things in motion. Marty and Richard Davis went to the medical supply store and bought an electric wheelchair. It was loaded into the station wagon. Richard and Alan drove that to the woman’s home, followed by Elvis, Priscilla, Marty, Billy, and me in the limo. When we got there, the woman’s husband answered the door, and we wheeled the chair into the tiny living room.”
    “When the husband called the woman in, she saw the chair and asked, “’What’s this here for?’”
    “Ma’am, it’s just a little something to let you go just about anywhere you want to go, said Elvis. It’s electric, so you don’t need anyone to push you. It’s just something we wanted to do for you to help you get aound better.” Her eyes teared up, and she asked in a soft tone, “’Can I sit in it, please?’”
    “Elvis and I reached down, picked her up, and set her in the chair. She ran her arms up and down the shiny wheels as the tears flowed. And I don’t mean just hers. We said our good-byes, and outside Alan wondered if the woman even knew who Elvis was.”
    “’It doesn’t matter, man,” Elvis said. At least she knows someone cares.’”

Was Elvis perfect? No but he was human and people forget that we are all and that he deserves the same basic decency we all deserve.

    Elvis never got over his mother's death. He wanted to make her life better and he states that she never got the chance to really enjoy life. People who knew him before she passed said he never was the same. his mom and daughter were his true loves he loved them unconditionally for the rest of his life.

    This was recorded in the jungle room, at his home in 1976. He was so depress at this point that he didn't want to go to the record studio, just stay in his room, so the record company sent the record studio to him, to his house, to make money, didn't care about the man, but making money out of him. This is one of the song recorded at his home.

    Paul Simon visited Graceland in 1984…He said he was unimpressed with the mansion until he finished the tour and walked outside and saw Elvis' grave. Upon the King’s grave, he read the lines, “He had a God-given talent that he shared with the world. And without a doubt, he became most widely acclaimed; capturing the hearts of young and old alike.”
    At that, Paul Simon said he broke down. “I just started to cry,” Simon said. “And I thought, it’s really true. This guy was loved by everybody.” Paul went home and wrote "Graceland".

    It had to be so hard to go overseas after Elvis’ mom funeral. Charlie Hodge was with him. Elvis was put in Sargents quarters cuz he couldn’t get any sleep. Everyone wanted his autograph, etc. I’m impressed Elvis came home a Sargent! Charlie was able to go with Elvis as they knew he needed a friend. Charlie said he and Elvis were in bunk beds together. Elvis on bottom. Charlie would hear Elvis cry at night cuz of his mom. Charlie was on top bunk. He’d tell Elvis all kinds of jokes to help him. I think once Elvis had his grandmother and Daddy
    live with him off base, he did better. Truth is I don’t think Elvis ever recovered from losing his mom. She meant
    everything to him.

    If only you could have seen him in person. There is no picture and no video that could ever capture how utterly otherworldly he was. You literally could not look away and it took your breath away. There was just no way any human could look like that. He was the perfect storm of physical beauty, talent and charisma. I have heard many a straight men say how beautiful he was. And in concert you felt like you were the only person in the room and he was singing to only you. I LOVE your videos and by all means keep them coming. He was a deeply religious and some of his most beautiful songs were hymns. And do go to Graceland and enjoy the ride! It's a BLAST!

    You're right about him not getting a chance to grieve. The press was vile publishing a heartbreaking photo of Vernon and Elvis racked with sobs at the hospital right after his mom passed. Elvis deserved better. I hope him knowing how much his fans adored him gave him a moment of happiness. I've been to Graceland many times, got to spend the night on the grounds in August '78 with a small group of fans. We mostly cried.

    There's a major difference between being alone and feeling lonely. Elvis, like you said, had all these people around him and yet felt alone. Meanwhile, there are many of us out there who would just like to be alone for five minutes because we are not lonely.. It's an internal thing. Unfortunately it's the price of fame sometimes. I love Elvis music. I grew up with it. I try not to think about the price he paid financially and mentally.. Just enjoy him and his phenomenal voice.
    It's also sad to think that all the people you see flashing on the screen quickly between the pictures of Elvis are no longer w/ us. first there was Vernon who died in '79. His mother of course. His grandson who was more recent and I'd have to look up the details. Lisa Marie was the most recent.

    Hi Ray 🌻I want to thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us. Even though it has only been about 6 months since you started discovering more about Elvis it's as if he was your lifetime friend. Thank you for taking the time to research who he was...not just forming opinions from gossip and misinformation. You have a kind heart ....an open mind...and a beautiful way of expressing yourself and we are so thankful you are here with us .
    As for me and I am sure many other fans....loving this man not only because of his music but also because of his humanity has been both a beautiful and a lonely journey.The beautiful part is Elvis ...the lonely part is seeing, reading and hearing so much hatred, and cruel things written or said about him over the years and feeling like no one cared about hearing anything positive about his music or him. I am speaking only of my experiences but I suspect many fans have felt the same way.
    You have talked about the jokes...and cruelness and hate others have always thrown at him.
    I also remember you saying for us to celebrate his life rather than mourn his passing. I appreciate you saying
    those words so much.They were very comforting and encouraging for many of us who have always felt such a deep void in our lives since his passing.
    I believe Elvis gave us all he had for as long as he could...he truly was
    and will always be a precious gift from God.❤️⚡

    Peter Guralnick wrote two of the best biographies ever on Elvis (as well as several other wonderful books). The Elvis ones were “Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley” and “Careless Love: The Unmaking of Elvis Presley.” There was a part in the second one that struck my heart and has forever stayed with me since I read it. Your comments about Elvis in this video reminds me of it. Guralnick says this about Elvis, “He constructed a shell to hide his aloneness, and it hardened on his back. I know of no sadder story.” Thank you Ray for showing up with heart and compassion in your Elvis reactions.

    I so happen to have my birthday on the day elvis died. When I visited Graceland the first time on Aug 16th 2019, I celebrated my 23rd birthday and the moment I got to his grave I just cried it’s an overwhelming feeling. The bond I have with Elvis is incredible and it was the best birthday can’t wait to go back next year.

    Songs like this plus others from his later years show us new Elvis once again. I think and feel that it was songs like Until it's time for you to go that started some new feeling in his own inner soul. He show us how to be weak. He show us how to be strong. So much so that we who listen don't know is it Elvis or guy in that written word. Remember how he said on Million dollar quartet session that: "Guy is dying out there"? Now these last years makes us wonder is he still on role or do he live it. I believe he live it. And oh so well! Those who know, know that he could be strong in a second like nobody ever could be. Danny Boy is the song that truly proves that! Nobody sings Danny Boy if weak. Nobody sings Danny Boy like our Mister Elvis Presley!!!❤🇫🇮

I'm in tears watching this and thinking of you having a quiet, heartfelt communion at his grave, that is so beautiful. I wish we could all be there to honour him, and will be there in spirit. So much love we have for this man who gave us so much, and now for you too. He is family, as you are now family. I am sure there are many others who feel like I do. Thank you for all you do, you really are bringing joy to so many people, as Elvis did.

    He most definitely his singing his own story. He is so good at putting his feelings in his songs. So if you just listen to him you can feel it in your heart. You are 100% correct about listening to him. If you can't feel the heart in his music you aren't really listening. I listen to all kinds of music and Elvis is still my all time favorite and always has been. TCB always. He was one beautiful man.❤

    The story is truly epic tragic. After I read up a lot about his life sometimes I just got mad at him for what happened to him. Of course it is easy to look back and wish things were different and had he done this and that. The victim of outsized fame. What a shame. Still cant help wishing things turned out different.

    How sad to hear this song. Surely there was a character and a human being. With the intensity of his voice, he wanted to convey love to us and he has succeeded until today, but unfortunately it was consumed. With a time machine, I would like to go back and show him that his was not a useless sacrifice and that we still love him. Thanks Ray once again you hit the mark, even if I prefer to smile in the morning. 😢💝👑🎶✌🍀

    Ah love the reaction to this video. I was going to comment just the other day Ray that I always felt Elvis was so lonely even with all those people around him. He only had close friends in his circle and they would all go out at night as it was less likely to be spotted and from what I understand, as he grew older that circle became smaller and smaller and he would isolate himself upstairs at Graceland. I always felt Lisa-Marie had the same look on her face as her Daddy 😢 but we know how we feel having lost Elvis so I can’t ever imagine how she felt.
    I live in the UK and I am going to Graceland in 2 years time for my 50th birthday. It’s going to be emotional but so special. I won’t watch that video if you do one, I don’t wanna see until I get there.
    Thanks Ray, I love that you are so kind to Elvis and love him as much as us ❤️

    In the pictures of his funeral my mom and grandma are in that crowd of fans. They drove from South Carolina when they heard the news. They didn't get to get close but they did stand outside the gates of Graceland. It is sad to see his grave it is a touching and somber moment. It makes you appreciate that man so much. He was so young and gave so much. Just imagine where the world would be if we still had Elvis. From a third generation Elvis fan thank you for an emotional and amazing start to my day. Love what you do and thanks for keeping Elvis alive.

    Ray, 1976 and 1977 are the sadests songs that Elvis sung. He was so ill that at any time he was awake the band was ready to record. Elvis sung his life. And 1976-1977 is that. Elvis comunicates his soul with music.

    I agree 100% but at the same time his ability to be so quick with a joke, or laugh, to have a positive attitude in the face of hardship was amazing. He had moments of anger and darkness, depression and haters but he never let it defeat him. He never stopped loving and giving even through all the loneliness. Go and read his quotes, such wisdom! A great example to us all ❤ I just got back from Graceland and it was amazing! I met him there, And now When I think of him I can just see him at his home. Especially at that piano where he would go sing gospel songs when he couldn't sleep. That was the place and time that he regained his peace. Thank you for the genuine and heartfelt reaction!!
