A reporter even screamed out "we love you Elvis" amongst the rapturous applause. No other artists ever received that from the media- of course Elvis was a class act and well respected..
Elvis was born in Tupelo Mississippi in 1935 and later moved to Memphis Tennessee, he lived in Memphis from like 1948 until his death in 1977 but he also had homes in Los Angeles, Beverly Hills and Palm Springs California. His home in Memphis called “Graceland” is where he is buried and is still visited yearly by about 500 thousand people per year pre-covid.
Elvis was an enigma ... he was a rather shy man who was very religious ... he loved to read . But when he was ELVIS "the entertainer" , he became the image we all know . The one constant was his sense of humor ... he loved to laugh and play pranks on his friends .
Re the hard rock songs comment: Elvis' publishing company - Hill & Range, brought into the fold by his manager - set up an unprecedented arrangement: all publishing rights to songs recorded by Elvis were split 50:50 between the company and Elvis and his manager. Hill & Range employed their own writers to provide songs for Elvis, effectively precluding Elvis from recording material not licensed to them. When other songwriters did offer their songs, Elvis' manager demanded 50% of the royalties. In the 50s it worked well, but the 60s saw the blossoming of the singer/songwriter who'd prefer to keep all of their royalties. As Elvis did not write his own songs and his manager effectively isolated him from contact and collaboration with other singers/songwriters, Elvis was often not able to get the best material available. This was one of the reasons for the many covers Elvis did. During recording sessions, when confronted with a lack of good material, Elvis would start recording songs that he'd always liked, from memory. What a travesty. One of the most unique and beautiful interpretive singing voices ever, often had to make do with second-rate songs. But Elvis, bless his soul, could make even mediocre material sound great!
You may want to react to the interview he gave in 1960 when he returned home after serving 2 years in the Army. He was only 25. He was already a big star when he was drafted and went thru a regular tour of duty going overseas, NO SINGING & NO SPECIAL TREATMENT.
I really enjoyed your reaction. It's so much fun to see young people take an interest in discovering Elvis and his music. He was 37 years old at this time, and I think he and his wife were separated at this time. They married in May, 1967 and divorced in October, 1973. Entertainers did do world tours back then, and Elvis wanted to. It was discovered years later that his manager was an illegal alien who was afraid if he left the U.S. he wouldn't be allowed back in so the only concerts Elvis ever did outside the country were three in Canada.
Elvis would have been welcomed just about anywhere in the world if he wanted to perform there. it was Col. Parker that really kept him in the states(except a show or two in Canada).I believe he had more #1 hits in England than here in the states!
Great Interview! ELVIS was so humble and sweet! Never be another ELVIS! Nice to see young people discover ELVIS the greatest Artist and generous man of all time! Thank you guy!
He never lived in NY. He was born in Tupelo Miss, moved to Memphis as a pre teen, and after he became famous and due to being in 31 movies, he also owned 2 homes in LA. He also owned a ranch in Tenn for awhile. His National fame was from 1956- his death in 77. But from 1954 thru 1955, he toured in the Deep South and recorded local hits on the Sun Label.
That was choppy. It must be years ago that I saw the entire video with no breaks or jump shots. I remember that Geraldo Rivera was filmed asking him a question. This one was too disjointed. But I thank you for airing it. There are other interviews that were filmed and dozens of audio interviews. Elvis had a well-developed sense of humor. If you watch a lot of his shows you'll find out. Also when he was in the studio recording he jokes around between takes. You can see that he was an intelligent, respectful, modest and articulate guy. Even in his early 20s he handled himself well in interviews. Unfailingly polite with gracious southern manners.
There are other interviews and rehearsals and 31 movies 2 behind the scene lives..the live performances and about 800 songs in his catalogue....loads to keep you going. You're doing a great job
KeeSeeY, if you're pursuing reactions to videos of Elvis' interviews, a MUST SEE is the "welcome home" interview he gave in 1960 at the age of 25, at his Graceland mansion is Memphis, just days after he got out of the Army! He joined and served in the Army from 1958 to 1960 in Germany, and came out as Sergeant Elvis Presley! He was already famous and had made four movies before he joined the Army, then made many more afterwards, in addition to his eventual live concerts. A whirlwind of a life! New subscriber here!
Something I loved about Elvis was his generosity. He bought houses, jewelry, cars, you name it, for people who worked for him and even total strangers. One I particularly like is that he happened to be a at a Cadillac dealer he used, and he noticed a nice, middle middle age black lady walking around a Coupe De Ville and just gawking at inside and out. He casually walked over to her and asked her if she liked it. I think she thought he was a sasleman because the story goes she didn't even really look at him, just said "well, I never..." Elvis said "Well, I just bought it for you". Estimates are that he bought over 200 Caddys in his career.
I think you'd have a great time reacting to these: (1) Elvis Presley - Live TV Phone Interview (1956) (8:37); (2) Bruno Kirby Story: 'The Magic of Elvis Presley' (4:32); (3) When Alice Cooper, Liza Minelli, Linda Lovelace and Chubby Checker met Elvis (5:34). There are tons of interviews with Elvis and about him out there. You might want to check out this article "Elvis and the Black Community: Dispelling the Myths". It also includes some interesting video clips.
Elvis was performing at the Madison Square Garden and sold out all the shows! He lived at Graceland in Memphis that was his main home (what he always considered home) he also had homes in Los Angelas and Palm Springs
He was in New York getting ready to do concerts at Madison Square Garden .He was the first performer to sell out 4 consecutive concerts at Madison Square Garden. A lot of rock singers were there. He always lived in Memphis.
This was the summer that Yoko and John Lennon were parading the streets of New York with a megaphone hailing War is Over. At 8:10, a reporter asks Elvis if other entertainers should keep their views to themselves. Elvis: 'No. I can't even say that.' He turns away, having none of it.
Elvis had so many talents that it is easy to forget that he was a great natural, spontaneous comedian. He made it up as he went- just riffing on what people said, and then grinning like he knew it was all a joke.
Elvis was born in tupelo miss. Injan. 8 1935, then moved to Memphis when he was 10. He permanently lived there the rest of his life, he had a ranch style home in the Beverly Hills area, he died at Graceland in Memphis on August, 16 1977, he starred in 30 feature films.
If you want to see Elvis wife and child talk about him along with family members and close friends I think you should watch a documentary "Elvis by the Presleys".
There is a good interview after he returned from Army n also one in Texas . Elvis was very quiet n shy at times thru his life He was always nervous before going on stage so he would have the guys sing a gospel song with him before running on stage I never met Elvis but was friends with Charlie Hodge his confidant and best friend for years after Elvis died.
The part where Elvis is responding to the question why doesn't do any more rock songs and he talks about there not being enough material to go around. He's more or less alluding to the effect that the Beatles had on the industry i.e. they wrote and recorded their own songs. Elvis was not a song writer, just a singer and that put him and other artists in his position at a disadvantage.
Elvis was interviewed in 1956 by Hy Gardner czcams.com/video/7ujtQbRlOBo/video.html, and he did a post-army interview in 1960 czcams.com/video/1MyrPxU6Ruo/video.html
Elvis was a shy person but extroverted on stage. In the 50s, they wanted to have him arrested because of the way he moved his hips on stage and would only shoot him when he was on TV from the waist up. I would suggest watching videos about his life, Elvis by the Presley's is good. He was also born in extreme poverty. A great video here on CZcams that details that an also talks to is childhood friends is called Elvis Return to Tupelo. I highly recommend watching that. His story is the biggest rags to riches story in history.
He did 33 movies now the tour concers were las vegas 1970 you properly watch some . The tour he is speaking about is Elvis on Tour 1972 . 4 concers and back stage footage
My favorite Elvis interview is from September 1958 in Brooklyn, New York. It was after his basic training in the army after getting drafted, on his way to Germany. His mom had recently passed away. m.czcams.com/video/tX6SjU1-7WA/video.html
Hi from England What was it about ELVIS? Well he just had "EVERYTHING" and you ALL know what i mean. I have seen this interview many times before. The saying "GOD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS" ELVIS did his last show 26th June Vernon Presley died 26th June Colonel Parker was born 26th June ELVIS was also called to Sun Records by Marion Keisker 26th June 1954 to sing "Without you" ELVIS spent his first night at Graceland 26th June 1957🎵🎵🎵🌹🌹👍👍👍🤔🤔🤨🤨
ELVIS made 31 big box office movies. You must do some research. He lived in Memphis his entire life AFTER he was 13. He was born in Tupelo, MISSISSIPPI and his family moved to Memphis when he was 13. I am from the same area in Mississippi that he was from. ELVIS is as big of a star and musician as you can get! He recorded almost 900 songs also. Dig into the rabbit hole that is ELVIS! YOU WILL BE VERY SURPRISED!
Elvis always called Graceland home in Memphis....he had other homes but not in New York....and his family were Vernon his dad who died in 1979...his mom Gladys who died while he was in the army in 1958...he had a still born brother called Jessie Garron....he married Pricilla in 1967 and divorced in 1972 but were together for many years as friends and she looks after his estate now....they had one daughter Lisa Marie who was once married to Nicholas Cage and also was married to Michael Jackson....she had 4 children but her only son took his own life in 2020...she has twin daughters and her other daughter is Riley Keogh the actress...as far as the concert tour he mentions that was filmed was a documentary called Elvis on Tour which is following Elvis on Tour with backstage footage...hope this helps
This was before his concerts in Madison Square Garden, (amature photage can be found on the dvd/cd boxset, and youtube on "Prince from another planet) . Elvis broke All records, including Beatles' and Rolling Stones') by selling out 4 concerts in a row. People like George Harrison, David Bowie and Simon and Garfunkel attended that concert. The name "Prince from another Planet" came from an article written by one of these attending reporter who wrote "Elvis looked like a Prince from another planet".
Elvis was famous and beloved worldwide from the moment he burst on the national scene. He could have traveled the world to sold out crowds everywhere. But the reason he didn't travel wasn't that they didn't do that back at that time... it was because his manager wouldn't let him. Just like he wouldn't let him do serious acting in good movies. On the one hand Tom Parker aka The Colonel did make Elvis huge, though I think Elvis would have been famous with any decent manager. But the Colonel did several things that made the fans always want more. He was smart like a fox and made lucrative deals, for him and for Elvis, but as time went on, deals that stifled Elvis creativity, dreams and goals. Deals that locked him into increasingly bad movies after maybe the first half dozen. Some of his early movies were good and showed potential. But the studio execs and the Colonel saw dollar signs when they saw that the fans would go to see Elvis movies no matter how lousy they were. And they'd pay to see and hear Elvis sing, no matter how lousy the songs were. They stopped getting veteran actors to start in movies with Elvis, and created what basically amounts to Travelogs with the same plot, different location filled with lousy songs. Then they produced a soundtrack and put that out as an album. During that time Elvis wasn't doing any other recordings except those movie soundtracks because that's what was raking in the money, which is all the Colonel cared about. That's another thing. It's because of the Colonel that Elvis couldn't get good songs from established writers for his movies because he refused to let Elvis do any song unless the song writer signed away all rights. Through much of the movie years, Elvis was progressively unhappy and absolutely hated what he was forced to do. But he kept his commitments and was loyal to a fault. He was always so thankful to the Colonel for making him a star that he didn't try to fire him until near the end. But the Colonel scared Elvis' father, Vernon Presley, with threats of law suits and demands of millions of dollars he claimed Elvis owed him. So Vernon pressured Elvis into hiring him back the next day. I think at that point Elvis just gave up. Not many mention this, but Elvis had dreamt of becoming a movie star as a child. He loved going to the movies, idolized the famous actors, memorized every line of his favorite movies and dreamt of one day being a movie star. The Colonel knew Elvis desired to do serious acting in good movies, just like he knew Elvis desired to do a worldwide tour. But the Colonel consistently went against Elvis' stated wishes for the sake of 💰 without regard or respect for the talent, artistry, goals or physical and mental health of the man in front of him. There were multiple factors which all converged and lead to Elvis' rapId decline the last year or two of his life. How the Colonel had managed his career was certainly one of the root issues underneath Elvis' increasing depression and self destructiveness. The lack of being creatively challenged, not being able to pursue his goals, the end of his marriage, his serious untreated health problems, being forced to go on the road doing concert tours when he was very sick and clearly needed time off... all were factors in Elvis demise. Due to both the Colonel's gambling debts and Elvis' own financial situation, he was forced to go on tour, doing two concerts a night seven nights a week with only a month break in between before he was due to go on another tour when he died. During Vegas stints, he also did 2 shows a night, 7 nights a week for the entire engagement, always to sold out crowds. People traveled from all over the world to this country just to see Elvis and his shows were sold out within hours of going on sale. He was a superstar and shouldn't have had to work that hard at that time in his life or in the condition he was in. But Elvis spent and gave money away almost as fast as he made it. And the Colonel took roughly 50% of what he made, and even more on all the Elvis memorabilia he sold at concerts. Elvis was his cash cow and it didn't matter to him what shape Elvis was in, he better be on that stage. (According to more than one man who worked for Elvis.) IMO, the Colonel may have started out good for Elvis, but ended up very bad for him and was a contributing factor in his decline and early death.
He lived in Memphis for a long time. He was here in New York for his huge MADISON SQUARE GARDEN CONCERTS. They decided to have a press conference a few days before.
The reason that Elvis never performed out of this country is that his manager, Tom Parker was an illegal alien from Europe and could not get a passport without being deported.
Hey sweetheart, I may have left you a comment on this interview, but you need to watch Elvis That's the way it is. It shows alot of scenes backstage and talking with his s Back up singers are the band. It's an excellent convert and shows him just being Elvis the man. You'll.love it . It was in 1970. Thanks TCb 1935🤺🤺🤺🤺⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡🤺
Hi Very nice interview, you should listen to Elvis army interview thats where he is younger .Where just finished his 2 yr term . Very good interview. God Bless
ELVIS 😇♥️ was a very sweet 🧁 humble funny 😍 very giving 🤑 honest down to earth 🌍 genuine very intelligent 🤓 (He had a photographic memory 🤓) spiritual and compassionate 💜 human being.
You asked did they really travel like that back then which triggered a memory and you may want to check out! It’s called The Motown Invasion and it’s when Motown acts did tour Britain but it’s very down to the start of Motown artists getting hits from their exposure. Heard Mary Wilson tell about how the gigs were meh but as they kept getting through the tour there were more people attending and about third week in they were really drawing in the crowds. Dusty Springfield gave them a little hand.
Tom Parker was a skumbag worked Elvis too hard. He was an illegal immigrant n that is why he didn't want Elvis to go overseas as he may have had problems with the country he came from I think was Holland. He always said he was nervous doing interviews n also going on stage doing concerts. He would have the guys n girls sing a gospel song prior to running on stage. Gospel music relaxed him. Another interview of Jackie Wilson n son Bobby Wilson did a short interview. N AT a memorial of Elvis Mohammed Ali did a speech about his friend Elvis It is alittle hard to understand what he saying but several people found the words of the speech on line. He loved Elvis n became good friends with him thank you for keeping Elvis music alive. I have listened to Elvis since 1956. I'll try n find a few more interviews for you. I remember an interview at Texas Astrodome(
Elvis had a shady manager who was wanted in his home country for suspected murder! He wouldnt let Elvis travel out of the US coz he couldnt go & worried Elvis would realise he didnt need him an sack him! His manager took 50% of Elvis's income!! He also put a stop to Elvis playing better acting roles....in this interview u get a glimpse of Elvis ignoring the colonal...he wanted to sack him but his dad used to say he wouldnt be famous etc His mum didnt like the colonal but died early on sadly.
He was married to Priscilla presley and has a daughter who is following in his footsteps her name is Lisa Marie presley she was married to Michael Jackson for a while
You should check out "suspicious minds", you will see a real show!! And if want to see how much he was loved, you should check out "Cry Like Memphis" by Tamara Walker!
Elvis was born in a 1 room shack of a house his dad built with money he borrowed from his boss on January 8, 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi. That's how dirt poor they were. He was one half of identical twins; the other boy - Jesse Garon - was stillborn. They were so poor, that Jesse Garon was buried in a shoebox in an unmarked grave. At Graceland they have a plaque with his name on it in his memory. He always got along with the black community and learned a lot about music from his friends of color. Also, according to the one drop rule, Elvis would not be considered white, since he has Cherokee ancestors on both the Smith (his mother) and the Presley (his father) sides of the family. His paternal grandfather was not happy that his two sons, Elvis' father Vernon and his brother Vester, married two sisters, Gladys and Clettes who were known to have Cherokee blood in their family tree. But he was in denial about the Cherokee blood in his own family tree. Elvis wanted to be more open about it, but his manager "colonel" Tom Parker (real name Andreas van Kuijk) was against it because he was afraid it might cost Elvis fans (and himself money). They did have Elvis play characters in his movies though where he had Native American blood (Flaming Star, G.I. Blues, Stay Away Joe). Once Elvis had his own (apprentice) job learning to be an electrician, he saved up his money and bought his clothes in the same style that many of his friends of color wore. He was called a (forgive me, just stating facts here) "n-lover" and got beaten up several times too. Later, when he was an established star, he would not perform at places where the members of color of his back-up band/orchestra weren't allowed. It's such a damned shame that his manager was an illegal alien in the US. He kept Elvis from performing around the world; was afraid he might not be able to get back into the US if he joined Elvis on tour abroad. He did not trust Elvis to cross the ocean without him; was probably afraid he would expand his horizon and dump his illegal butt for another, better, manager.
His manager, Colonel Parker was an illegal immigrant from somewhere in Europe. From what I hear people wanted to watch him all over the world but his manager couldn't take a chance of leaving the country because he was illegal.FAX
I'm pretty sure his "I take vitamin E" response had a tongue in cheek "dirty" meaning behind it, because it was right about this time that vitamin E was being touted in the health industry as helping men maintain an erection, so when she asked "How do you think you've "outlasted" other performers", that's what he was jokingly referring to, that's why he follows up with, "I embarrassed myself..."
I really recommend watching 'Elvis by the Presleys', it features his ex-wife Priscilla and daughter Lisa-Marie (she used to be married to Michael Jackson). Check out Lisa-Marie's music!
I like that he didn't make comments on social subjects, celebrities now need to keep their damn mouths shut, we don't want you preaching your politics to us.
A reporter even screamed out "we love you Elvis" amongst the rapturous applause. No other artists ever received that from the media- of course Elvis was a class act and well respected..

There is interviews of Elvis younger after he came back from the Amy in 1960👍

It’s called “That’s The Way It Is”. It’s awesome. There’s another called “Elvis on Tour”. He also made 31 movies and recorded over 700 songs.
Elvis was the highest paid actor in Hollywood in the 60's. He starred in 33 movies from 1956-69.
Yeah heard about that too. Awesome. But the quality of script are kinda class B, and hes frustrated about that too.
Sir Elvis is always clever when answering their questions. you should check out his other interviews.
Elvis would have been welcomed just about anywhere in the world if he wanted to perform there. it was Col. Parker that really kept him in the states(except a show or two in Canada).I believe he had more #1 hits in England than here in the states!
Elvis did I think 32 feature films and was the highest paid actor of the time.
Great Interview! ELVIS was so humble and sweet! Never be another ELVIS! Nice to see young people discover ELVIS the greatest Artist and generous man of all time! Thank you guy!
Elvis did an interview in Houston and he also did interviews in this early years.
He never lived in NY. He was born in Tupelo Miss, moved to Memphis as a pre teen, and after he became famous and due to being in 31 movies, he also owned 2 homes in LA. He also owned a ranch in Tenn for awhile. His National fame was from 1956- his death in 77. But from 1954 thru 1955, he toured in the Deep South and recorded local hits on the Sun Label.
There's videos of elvis interveiws in 56 to 58 especially pre army stuff
A real good interview is the one when he got home from the Army..check it out ✌
That was choppy. It must be years ago that I saw the entire video with no breaks or jump shots. I remember that Geraldo Rivera was filmed asking him a question. This one was too disjointed. But I thank you for airing it. There are other interviews that were filmed and dozens of audio interviews.
Elvis had a well-developed sense of humor. If you watch a lot of his shows you'll find out. Also when he was in the studio recording he jokes around between takes.
You can see that he was an intelligent, respectful, modest and articulate guy. Even in his early 20s he handled himself well in interviews. Unfailingly polite with gracious southern manners.

Elvis did 33 movies in all and they was all amazing he never once disappointed
I think you'd have a great time reacting to these: (1) Elvis Presley - Live TV Phone Interview (1956) (8:37); (2) Bruno Kirby Story: 'The Magic of Elvis Presley' (4:32); (3) When Alice Cooper, Liza Minelli, Linda Lovelace and Chubby Checker met Elvis (5:34).

Elvis was performing at the Madison Square Garden and sold out all the shows! He lived at Graceland in Memphis that was his main home (what he always considered home) he also had homes in Los Angelas and Palm Springs
He was in New York getting ready to do concerts at Madison Square Garden .He was the first performer to sell out 4 consecutive concerts at Madison Square Garden. A lot of rock singers were there. He always lived in Memphis.

For movies, you can’t go wrong with Jailhouse Rock and King Creole….you won’t be disappointed
You know, when Elvis's time to serve in the military, he went and served just like everyone else. Just one of the guys. Didnt complain.
If you want to see Elvis wife and child talk about him along with family members and close friends I think you should watch a documentary "Elvis by the Presleys".
He taped two live shows, “movies” Elvis On Tour and This is Elvis and he made like 33 Hollywood movies.
There is a good interview after he returned from Army n also one in Texas . Elvis was very quiet n shy at times thru his life He was always nervous before going on stage so he would have the guys sing a gospel song with him before running on stage I never met Elvis but was friends with Charlie Hodge his confidant and best friend for years after Elvis died.
The part where Elvis is responding to the question why doesn't do any more rock songs and he talks about there not being enough material to go around.

Wow so humble now that’s why he was the greatest singer ever 👍🏴🇬🇧👍
Elvis was interviewed in 1956 by Hy Gardner czcams.com/video/7ujtQbRlOBo/video.html,
and he did a post-army interview in 1960 czcams.com/video/1MyrPxU6Ruo/video.html
A class act!! So polite and respectful.
Must sees: Elvis: That’s The Way It Is; The 68 Comeback Special; Elvis: Aloha From Hawaii and his final concert in June 1977
Elvis was a shy person but extroverted on stage. In the 50s, they wanted to have him arrested because of the way he moved his hips on stage and would only shoot him when he was on TV from the waist up. I would suggest watching videos about his life, Elvis by the Presley's is good. He was also born in extreme poverty. A great video here on CZcams that details that an also talks to is childhood friends is called Elvis Return to Tupelo. I highly recommend watching that.

He did 33 movies now the tour concers were las vegas 1970 you properly watch some . The tour he is speaking about is Elvis on Tour 1972 . 4 concers and back stage footage

Elvis bought a large house and named it Graceland in Memphis at the very beginning of his career and lived there his whole life.
Hi from England
What was it about ELVIS? Well he just had "EVERYTHING" and you ALL know what i mean. I have seen this interview many times before.
The saying "GOD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS"
ELVIS did his last show 26th June
Vernon Presley died 26th June
Colonel Parker was born 26th June
ELVIS was also called to Sun Records by Marion Keisker 26th June 1954 to sing "Without you"
ELVIS spent his first night at Graceland 26th June 1957🎵🎵🎵🌹🌹👍👍👍🤔🤔🤨🤨
ELVIS made 31 big box office movies. You must do some research. He lived in Memphis his entire life AFTER he was 13. He was born in Tupelo, MISSISSIPPI and his family moved to Memphis when he was 13. I am from the same area in Mississippi that he was from. ELVIS is as big of a star and musician as you can get! He recorded almost 900 songs also. Dig into the rabbit hole that is ELVIS! YOU WILL BE VERY SURPRISED!
Elvis always called Graceland home in Memphis....he had other homes but not in New York....and his family were Vernon his dad who died in 1979...his mom Gladys who died while he was in the army in 1958...he had a still born brother called Jessie Garron....he married Pricilla in 1967 and divorced in 1972 but were together for many years as friends and she looks after his estate now....they had one daughter Lisa Marie who was once married to Nicholas Cage and also was married to Michael Jackson....she had 4 children but her only son took his own life in 2020...she has twin daughters and her other daughter is Riley Keogh the actress...as far as the concert tour he mentions that was filmed was a documentary called Elvis on Tour which is following Elvis on Tour with backstage footage...hope this helps
They divorced in 73 ..LOL
@@jrc8640 yep they did indeed...separated in 72
This was before his concerts in Madison Square Garden, (amature photage can be found on the dvd/cd boxset, and youtube on "Prince from another planet) . Elvis broke All records, including Beatles' and Rolling Stones') by selling out 4 concerts in a row. People like George Harrison, David Bowie and Simon and Garfunkel attended that concert. The name "Prince from another Planet" came from an article written by one of these attending reporter who wrote "Elvis looked like a Prince from another planet".
Elvis was famous and beloved worldwide from the moment he burst on the national scene. He could have traveled the world to sold out crowds everywhere. But the reason he didn't travel wasn't that they didn't do that back at that time... it was because his manager wouldn't let him. Just like he wouldn't let him do serious acting in good movies. On the one hand Tom Parker aka The Colonel did make Elvis huge, though I think Elvis would have been famous with any decent manager. But the Colonel did several things that made the fans always want more. He was smart like a fox and made lucrative deals, for him and for Elvis, but as time went on, deals that stifled Elvis creativity, dreams and goals. Deals that locked him into increasingly bad movies after maybe the first half dozen. Some of his early movies were good and showed potential. But the studio execs and the Colonel saw dollar signs when they saw that the fans would go to see Elvis movies no matter how lousy they were. And they'd pay to see and hear Elvis sing, no matter how lousy the songs were. They stopped getting veteran actors to start in movies with Elvis, and created what basically amounts to Travelogs with the same plot, different location filled with lousy songs. Then they produced a soundtrack and put that out as an album. During that time Elvis wasn't doing any other recordings except those movie soundtracks because that's what was raking in the money, which is all the Colonel cared about. That's another thing. It's because of the Colonel that Elvis couldn't get good songs from established writers for his movies because he refused to let Elvis do any song unless the song writer signed away all rights. Through much of the movie years, Elvis was progressively unhappy and absolutely hated what he was forced to do. But he kept his commitments and was loyal to a fault. He was always so thankful to the Colonel for making him a star that he didn't try to fire him until near the end. But the Colonel scared Elvis' father, Vernon Presley, with threats of law suits and demands of millions of dollars he claimed Elvis owed him. So Vernon pressured Elvis into hiring him back the next day. I think at that point Elvis just gave up.
Not many mention this, but Elvis had dreamt of becoming a movie star as a child. He loved going to the movies, idolized the famous actors, memorized every line of his favorite movies and dreamt of one day being a movie star. The Colonel knew Elvis desired to do serious acting in good movies, just like he knew Elvis desired to do a worldwide tour. But the Colonel consistently went against Elvis' stated wishes for the sake of 💰 without regard or respect for the talent, artistry, goals or physical and mental health of the man in front of him.
There were multiple factors which all converged and lead to Elvis' rapId decline the last year or two of his life. How the Colonel had managed his career was certainly one of the root issues underneath Elvis' increasing depression and self destructiveness. The lack of being creatively challenged, not being able to pursue his goals, the end of his marriage, his serious untreated health problems, being forced to go on the road doing concert tours when he was very sick and clearly needed time off... all were factors in Elvis demise. Due to both the Colonel's gambling debts and Elvis' own financial situation, he was forced to go on tour, doing two concerts a night seven nights a week with only a month break in between before he was due to go on another tour when he died. During Vegas stints, he also did 2 shows a night, 7 nights a week for the entire engagement, always to sold out crowds. People traveled from all over the world to this country just to see Elvis and his shows were sold out within hours of going on sale. He was a superstar and shouldn't have had to work that hard at that time in his life or in the condition he was in. But Elvis spent and gave money away almost as fast as he made it. And the Colonel took roughly 50% of what he made, and even more on all the Elvis memorabilia he sold at concerts. Elvis was his cash cow and it didn't matter to him what shape Elvis was in, he better be on that stage. (According to more than one man who worked for Elvis.)
IMO, the Colonel may have started out good for Elvis, but ended up very bad for him and was a contributing factor in his decline and early death.
He lived in Memphis for a long time. He was here in New York for his huge MADISON SQUARE GARDEN CONCERTS. They decided to have a press conference a few days before.
The reason that Elvis never performed out of this country is that his manager, Tom Parker was an illegal alien from Europe and could not get a passport without being deported.
Hey sweetheart, I may have left you a comment on this interview, but you need to watch Elvis That's the way it is. It shows alot of scenes backstage and talking with his s Back up singers are the band. It's an excellent convert and shows him just being Elvis the man. You'll.love it . It was in 1970.

6:30: He's talking about the movie Elvis on Tour.
There is a video of an interview of him in 1960 when he got home from the army. He’s young and so handsome.
Elvis didn't like being called the king, he said there's only one king and that is God👍🐐☘️🙏🙏
The concert movie he is referring to is called Elvis On Tour
go look at " you`ll never stand alone " a duet with his daughter- it was done 20 yrs after he passed but it was done beautiful
Elvis was a shy person. Elvis lived in Memphis at his house "Graceland". He never lived in NY.
I love your Elvis video!!!! ❤️❤️
Elvis made 31 movies and recorded over 700 songs!
I love to see the younger generation say they like Elvis. Especially after they watched r
Elvis and the black community
He was very shy but not on stage and a very funny person he loved to have fun
Could u react to always on my mind with Priscilla and daughter Lisa marie in the video.
Thank you 😊
He lives in an mansion in tennessee called graceland he bought in his early career.
dude had mad charisma
He did !
He has a lot of movies
No he had a big personality he was funny generous and kind 👍
Damn he did about 30 movies
He spent 2 years in the service they were prime years
You asked did they really travel like that back then which triggered a memory and you may want to check out! It’s called The Motown Invasion and it’s when Motown acts did tour Britain but it’s very down to the start of Motown artists getting hits from their exposure. Heard Mary Wilson tell about how the gigs were meh but as they kept getting through the tour there were more people attending and about third week in they were really drawing in the crowds. Dusty Springfield gave them a little hand.
His home was in memphis..Graceland
There a much better version out there that is cleaned up and has subtitles. Much better version. That was fun. Elvis was just cool.
Tom Parker was a skumbag worked Elvis too hard. He was an illegal immigrant n that is why he didn't want Elvis to go overseas as he may have had problems with the country he came from I think was Holland. He always said he was nervous doing interviews n also going on stage doing concerts. He would have the guys n girls sing a gospel song prior to running on stage. Gospel music relaxed him. Another interview of Jackie Wilson n son Bobby Wilson did a short interview. N AT a memorial of Elvis Mohammed Ali did a speech about his friend Elvis It is alittle hard to understand what he saying but several people found the words of the speech on line. He loved Elvis n became good friends with him thank you for keeping Elvis music alive. I have listened to Elvis since 1956. I'll try n find a few more interviews for you. I remember an interview at Texas Astrodome(
Elvis had a shady manager who was wanted in his home country for suspected murder! He wouldnt let Elvis travel out of the US coz he couldnt go & worried Elvis would realise he didnt need him an sack him! His manager took 50% of Elvis's income!! He also put a stop to Elvis playing better acting roles....in this interview u get a glimpse of Elvis ignoring the colonal...he wanted to sack him but his dad used to say he wouldnt be famous etc His mum didnt like the colonal but died early on sadly.
He made heaps of movie's
New sub here ... Great reaction! Thanks!!
He was married to Priscilla presley and has a daughter who is following in his footsteps her name is Lisa Marie presley she was married to Michael Jackson for a while

He lived and stayed mostly in mephis
You should check out "suspicious minds", you will see a real show!! And if want to see how much he was loved, you should check out "Cry Like Memphis" by Tamara Walker!
Elvis was born in a 1 room shack of a house his dad built with money he borrowed from his boss on January 8, 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi. That's how dirt poor they were. He was one half of identical twins; the other boy - Jesse Garon - was stillborn. They were so poor, that Jesse Garon was buried in a shoebox in an unmarked grave. At Graceland they have a plaque with his name on it in his memory. He always got along with the black community and learned a lot about music from his friends of color. Also, according to the one drop rule, Elvis would not be considered white, since he has Cherokee ancestors on both the Smith (his mother) and the Presley (his father) sides of the family. His paternal grandfather was not happy that his two sons, Elvis' father Vernon and his brother Vester, married two sisters, Gladys and Clettes who were known to have Cherokee blood in their family tree. But he was in denial about the Cherokee blood in his own family tree. Elvis wanted to be more open about it, but his manager "colonel" Tom Parker (real name Andreas van Kuijk) was against it because he was afraid it might cost Elvis fans (and himself money). They did have Elvis play characters in his movies though where he had Native American blood (Flaming Star, G.I. Blues, Stay Away Joe). Once Elvis had his own (apprentice) job learning to be an electrician, he saved up his money and bought his clothes in the same style that many of his friends of color wore. He was called a (forgive me, just stating facts here) "n-lover" and got beaten up several times too. Later, when he was an established star, he would not perform at places where the members of color of his back-up band/orchestra weren't allowed. It's such a damned shame that his manager was an illegal alien in the US. He kept Elvis from performing around the world; was afraid he might not be able to get back into the US if he joined Elvis on tour abroad. He did not trust Elvis to cross the ocean without him; was probably afraid he would expand his horizon and dump his illegal butt for another, better, manager.
He lived in Graceland in Memphis
His manager, Colonel Parker was an illegal immigrant from somewhere in Europe. From what I hear people wanted to watch him all over the world but his manager couldn't take a chance of leaving the country because he was illegal.FAX
I'm pretty sure his "I take vitamin E" response had a tongue in cheek "dirty" meaning behind it, because it was right about this time that vitamin E was being touted in the health industry as helping men maintain an erection, so when she asked "How do you think you've "outlasted" other performers", that's what he was jokingly referring to, that's why he follows up with, "I embarrassed myself..."
I really recommend watching 'Elvis by the Presleys', it features his ex-wife Priscilla and daughter Lisa-Marie (she used to be married to Michael Jackson). Check out Lisa-Marie's music!
Yeah today doesn’t compare you’re right
About 30 or so movies
I like that he didn't make comments on social subjects, celebrities now need to keep their damn mouths shut, we don't want you preaching your politics to us.
Stayed in Memphis
8:17 Elvis is the best!!
