After watching many videos of Elvis, Visiting Graceland 3 times, reading the books these men wrote about him, and watching the Movie Elvis that just came out with Austin Butler, I realized that the world and fans like me can't get enough of Elvis. I mean I am always reading or looking for something to know more about Elvis. The world was cheated out of Elvis when he died so young, he lived such a fast life and it ended so quickly. When I think of what Elvis was dealing with all the years, I felt he was confused all the time, it's impossible to make sense of anything when everywhere you went, he was the focus of everybody. I always thought how great it would be to talk to Elvis alone where no one is watching, just talking to this great entertainer and person. I miss Elvis more than normal people. Long live the King"

It is very interesting. And why he seemed so self destructive. Have went through periods of everything Elvis, went to Graceland once, would like to go again and to Tupelo. The world will never have another Elvis and I believe that is why he endures with more and more fans. We don’t want to let go of someone that was so unique and had a God given voice, because he certainly did.

Elvis had choices like any one else. Yes, grew up poor wrong choices of friends and not checking out your manager, letting him make all decisions, when he could have refuse too take rest. You could still be a giver and love money. He had a first home , why did he buy Graceland, expensive cars so, on. If he did not like money he would kept simple life. Was he that stupid not to see, what Parker was doing? Was he that Stupid being pushed in a marriage, precilla was a young kid, of 14 wanted 7 or 8 years to get married, there is something wrong with this picture. Than his mom comes not happy start drugs and drinking, he acts like kid. Why was she depressed? If she wanted to live a poor life she had a choice. It seems like real life got mix with fake world it wasn’t real world for him. When you play different character I believe your mind gets mixed up. Sometimes that would t drive person mad. These hollywood people are not themselves. There some that cannot play the character stay who they are.

Elvis was a phenomenon. His voice was magic; it was rich, full, melodic and rhythmic. So incredibly sexy. And--bonus, his looks facial, and physical, how he moved. He was incredibly sexy. Even to his death. He was ill, older, suffering from fluid retention. He was still extremely sexy. No one around him understood his health problems. And from what I understand, even his actual thinking. He kept his personal philosophy to himself.

Elvis seemed to have the biggest heart, but complex as a person. He surrounded himself with people he liked and enjoyed, but they couldn't tell him "no". I think he took these guys as friends to show they could be cool too. They were young, it was a boys club, but he enjoyed life the way he wanted. Sometimes you need people in your life that say "stop".

Instead of the Memphis maffia these 4-5 crooks should have been called the Memphis leeches, who just took advantage of a good guy like Elvis. So disgusting to listen to their stories of how they would get the girls that would come to see Elvis, those were girls I'm sure these loosers could never had, Had their been on their own, they kept Pricilla away from her husband and contributed greatly to the divorce, I'm sure they had years of toasting to the divorce after Elvis divorced. Very selfish people, always thinking of what they could get from him.... they never understood the depth of the man, Elvis knew he was serching for something spiritual, too bad he ended up with a bunch of blood suckers who isolated him from the people who really loved him. This is indeed a hard watch.

I know how you feel ( I grew up very similar, and nobody told me to "stop smoking pot") Honestly, this is a very difficult time for Elvis's friends. I think they really respected Elvis alot. At this present time the Pricilla is very upset that her only daughter passed away. No hard feelings, the whole crew, and Pricilla are dealing with a death in the Presely family right now.

Elvis was the conduit for white people to fully embrace black music. He was not afraid! He took a lot of criticism for it but he had the backbone to stand for what he believed. The other thing Elvis could do was deliver the music the right way. Pat Boone couldn't do it. Andy Williams couldn't do it. No white singer could do what Elvis did but ELVIS. He had the name, the voice, the style, the confidence and the look! So even when the haters arrived, it didn't matter. Girls were passing out!

I will say this though, if he was really always thinking what was his purpose for being on this earth and why he was chosen to be Elvis, then just maybe these guys had no idea for awhile who Elvis really was until later. They were along for the ride and lots of fun. Sounds like he was keeping up the image for them too.

You are not entirely right. The reason why Elvis could not tour outside of the United States is because of his guns and pills, none of which he could carry in those quantities he had across borders. Nothing to do with the Colonel. In fact, the Colonel had contacts with some of the most politically influential people in the country and could easily make himself legal, but he was not bothered about it either.

That is a silly excuse, if the colonel was illegal and he was linked to the biggest star in the world, the US government would of known about it. If elvis thought that was a problem, he would just rang Nixon. "So hey Mr President my manager needs US citizenship, can you help out. Sure buddy". Job done. Nope Parker was tied to the mob and the mob controlled Parker, who controlled Elvis. Parker and the mob had something big on EP and it kept him the in the US forever.

@@Mallratthrift I have to Respectfully disagree Lizzy. I saw him and you can take it for what it's worth, but he was Definitely A Porker, yet despite all the extra weight, he was still Very Much Elvis, but most of the Panties thrown on stage were several to many sizes bigger, so a large segment of his Groupies had "Grown" right along with The King. I've always felt a lot of love and admiration for Elvis and that'll never change....Hell, I grew up listening to him sing and saw every one of his Cheesy Movies, but his last role in "Charro" was arguably his best...to me anyway & I've always thought that had that Supreme Greedy Asshole And Illegal Alien "Col. Tom Parker, either been hit by a Train or been Deported, and I favor the "Former" Solution, Elvis would have made an excellent Actor, in much the same way Frank Sinatra did, but Elvis would have been the better Actor,because he was such a "Sensitive" individual, But Sadly we'll never know.

Elvis had a depth of soul that allowed him to start seeking answers to more introspective questions that his entourage was holding him back from and keeping him from pursuing to a greater degree. He had outgrown their limited mentality and should have sought out health gurus to kick his drug dependence, reverse the drug abuse damage, get his insulin under control, get needed nutrients into his system and take back his health and lifestyle for a new beginning.

These guys were toxic as hell, they definitely did not actually care for him but rather their lavish lifestyles they got through him. Any real friend would have kept their feet firm on the ground to support him and kick his ass if he went off the rail, but they let him cause they themselves did. What a sad story! Maybe he secretly did actually escape that life and went on living incognito, who knows, he wouldn't be the first James Dean did it

Joe mentioning the later years of Elvis' life they tried to forget/deny he had a serious drug addiction is scandalous. The "Memphis Mafia" were his closest friends even at the time anyone could of said something like "We love man" or "We care about you Elvis, Please your going to kill yourself." I mean the Memphis Mafia sounds even by today standards really ridiculous, constant parties like their teenages on spring break or a late night escort party instead by the time EP died most were late 30s early 40s I mean come on most people have settled and mellowed by their late 30s especially.

I don't think Elvis' boys liked Larry Geller very much. He was a relative "newcomer" to the group, and I think they felt, along with Tom Parker, thought he may have exerted too much influence on him. But I think they were simply jealous. Geller was an intensely spiritual man (as opposed to "religious" which Elvis didn't particularly care for), and he taught him many things, largely through sharing his collection of spiritually-motivated books with him, like "The Prophet," which remained Elvis' favorite until the day he died. RIP, Elvis Aron Presley.

Geller could speak to EP on an intellectual level, hence why they seem to get on like a house on fire. Whereas its clear from this interview that the other members didn't have these taints, likely because they were the logistic and muscle guys.

Sometimes I am actually left thinking; "can they really hear themselves when they say that!?" I don't feel they shed a very nice light on themselves really. Like someone below mentions, from what it appears Elvis was their 'cash cow' and they were reaping the benefits of what came with being with Elvis, only in it for the laughs and the ass. As soon as someone tried to rain on their little parade they would get touchy and territorial.... I mean with Pricilla for instance, the way they describe her like she is some massive threat for "trying to change Elvis" or "trying to separate them from Elvis"... to be fair to the woman, I don't think I'd have been happy in her shoes either with 11 men sharing my home and my marriage every single day, knowing that wherever I go I have an entourage instead of a romantic meal for two and having to live with the fact that the same men were egging Elvis on a lot of the time to have these crazy parties, drugs and other women because it's what they wanted to do too. Or Larry who wanted to chat about philosophical and religious beliefs with Elvis instead of partying - they decided they all didn't like that because they all just wanted to "have a good time" with Elvis's influence and Elvis's money! As if he was a bad influence for trying to put Elvis on a righteous path. Selfish and power hungered the lot of them as far as I can concur from this, they seem to talk so fondly of him now because they say they all loved him though maybe it was more that they loved what Elvis could do for them and aren't able to have the things they had when he was alive now, where it seems they were using him to get in places, get drugs and get laid most of the time!

Elvis should have dumped the Col. when he made the comeback special in 68' and took hold of his career and hired new management. He proved to himself and the industry he was still a musical force to reckoned with with that special. The manor in which he dropped the movies should have shown him that ultimately he was in charge. He never seemed to grasp the idea that it was his career and his choices from there on in. Instead he'd lapsed into that worker /boss relationship with the Col. letting the Col. dictate the career to him. It may have been the perfect recipe during his rise, but by 68' the Col. himself was an out of touch and over his head as far as how to properly manage that level of famous artist. To the end of his days the Col. never evolved beyond being a self serving,tent show con man. It's hard to fault the col. for being what he always was...a low class, hick grifter plying his trade like he was still in the circus sideshow. I think the outcome may have been much different if Elvis had engaged a management team that was more in touch with the best interests of the artist and at a lower percentage! At the end of the day it still comes back to Elvis himself as adult. He allowed it all to happen. Whether he complained or not,he allowed his career to be dictated to him. He even had another chance for an epiphany after the monumental worldwide "Aloha" broadcast. Once again he demonstrated that he was still a worldwide drawing card. He could have quite easily shifted to doing single night stadium and big venue performances like young rock artists were at the time and commanding huge bucks. Instead he relegated himself to gruelling Vegas schedules and touring small markets endlessly like a travelling freak show with his dismal end almost becoming a foregone conclusion!

What Jerry said at 51:18-51:59 is so true. Sums Elvis Presley up so well. Elvis gave a hell of a lot more than he ever got back. He was surrounded by leeches and yes men. It's a shame he wasn't able to see this until it was too late. Larry says Elvis knew he was in trouble by 1977 and acknowledged he needed to make changes in his personal and professional lives. The tragedy was that Elvis delayed the changes until September 1977 and as we know, Elvis died the month before. Such a shame. As dramatic as it seems, from Larry's words, it seems Elvis had finally woken up in 1977 and was getting ready to make changes and fire more leeches. Shame. RIP, Elvis. You will never be forgotten and your legacy will live on forever

You couldn’t fix Elvis. He had to fix himself. And finally at the end he had given up. But he was trying to decide to get himself a chance to clean up. Everyone tried to get him to stop the drugs. But he had to get the physical stuff fixed before he could stop the need for them.

@@gracieg7601, Elvis had not given up, according to Larry. Larry has said that Elvis did get depressed now and then (who wouldn't under the circumstances?), but he was not a broken man at the end in Larry's experience. Larry is a good man, who always speaks highly and truthfully of Elvis. Elvis knew he had to sort himself out and he was going to make changes in his personal and professional lives and he was going to release some of the others from his life. Elvis had many other plans too, which Larry has mentioned in interviews and in his book, Leaves of Elvis's Garden: The Song of His Soul.

@@gracieg7601 of course you can't fix an addict. They have to want to change and unless they do, there's nothing you can do for them, except be there for them. Everyone may have tried to help Elvis, but it won't have worked. Back in the Seventies, there wasn't any real knowledge on the dangers of substance abuse and depression, so that stigma further hurt Elvis. Elvis did try to get clean many times, but would always relapse. On his last vacation in the Spring of 1977, Elvis got off the drugs and started exercising more and didn't look anywhere near as big as the magazines wrote. In fact, despite looking pale and worn out in some photos, he looks the usual shape for a 40-something-year-old dude. However, once Elvis got sand in his eye, he had to go home to rest before his new tour and relapsed. Shame. Elvis seemed to get clean intermittently, but he couldn't maintain it. If it wasn't for his touring schedule, he probably could have gotten clean for longer. Two shows a night - sometimes three - is enough to tire anyone out, not just a 30-something-year-old and 40-something-year-old performer.

There’s no bigger Elvis fan than me. But Elvis is responsible for his own demise. At some point you have to stop and look in the mirror and realize you are the problem. These men were a cancer, no doubt but each person is responsible for his own life. I’m no Elvis, but I’m strong enough to know when someone is sucking the life out of me. And that’s on Elvis.

He doesn’t have to be anything else but just himself I can imagine the relief, guy count your blessing,and I will always rem Elvis as the first time I ever feel in love 😍 I’d watch him on the telly,and think my god he is gorgeous and the perfect looking man I have ever seen, and that still hasn’t changed in my eyes,like I said when god created Elvis he broke the mould xxx

(Waylon Jennings bio, John Cash's) he was a great artist, being an addict doesn't detract from that.

Charlie Hodge told the story how Sonny West, Red West and Dave Hebler vindictively sent Elvis the transcript to the scandalous book “Elvis: What Happened?” they wrote along with a printed order for two hundred thousand pre orders from K Mart for the book just to add salt to the wound. Charlie said he walked in Elvis’ room and found him weeping with the transcript as he looked up at Charlie and said “what is my daughter going to think of me now?” Elvis died days later. I’m sure Judas could have told some great and heartfelt stories about hanging out with Jesus also.

I am from Tennessee and when I was about 7 (1972) my Dad was a good friend of a guy that hung out at Graceland. My dad was there a couple times and talked to Vernon and Vester (Elvis' uncle) a few times over the last couple years. When Elvis died I was so grief stricken that my dad contacted someone and Vester sent me a personal letter. At 12 years old that letter brought me such comfort. When Red, Sonny and Dave published the book I was so angry. My dad told me not to judge because things were going on that I was just to young to understand and that he knew they were good guys. In 1999, I met Sonny. My dad had passed in '94 so this was just a chance meeting. I was so thrilled when he recognized the names I gave him and that he remebered these people I knew. He respectfully answered some of my questions and for a while he and I spoke on a weekly basis and even longer via e-mail. I know Sonny and the guys in this video loved honored and repected Elvis. Don't judge cause there is so much we don't know or could ever understand. God Bless the ones who saved him so many times and gave us Elvis for longer than we would have had him had they not been there.

I may be a fool, but the man I came to know and respect showed nothing but love for his friend and ideal. He seemed hurt that he had been misunderstood and I truly believe he was sincere. He had nothing to gain with me. We will never know the whole truth and like all people the men around Elvis have made mistakes. His EX-WIFE has become far more wealthy by using his name. I found that not all she has told has been true and surely is not all complimentary of Elvis.

Red,sonny,Lamar,and Marty cared for and loved Elvis... no doubt in my mind. People get mad at them saying things like why did they let Elvis keep taking all those pills?Listen how do you protect someone who had the means to get what he wanted when he wanted it?Red busted up a guy one time for bringing Elvis pills,Elvis told Red that he needed them(pills). That’s why Red,Sonny,and I believe it was Dave that was fired in 76... Elvis told Billy Smith that he didn’t like people telling him what to do and trying to control him. If Red,Sonny,Marty,Lamar,and Billy weren’t around as long as they were,Elvis would have died sooner than 42. They wrote the book because they were hurt and because they wanted to challenge Elvis.. Maybe Elvis would read it and see what he had become and change.

I couldn't of said that better myself. I was involved in a bad accident that left me with rods, pins and plates. I too became addicted too opiods from my doctor. I found myself buying pills of the street. I am grateful that I had enough sense too get off them. The withdraws we're hell but I'm a better man for it today
