The 68 Special was so far ahead of it's time it's ridiculous. The first MTV Unplugged. First long form music videos. The expensive cars, the big contracts. Everything. Whatever the King did, he did it first.

Elvis was a black brother in a white body…….I really miss him. There will Never ever be another Elvis. I’m a black man who grew up in the Early 70’s. So many lies have been written about this man from both black and white people. Instead we should be happy about the legacy which he left us all. R.I.P Elvis. We love you brother.

Beautifully said❤ Elvis is so misunderstood.

[@Wildlife_SA.]

Yeah so true. It all boils down to extreme jealousy since the 50's. He was the ultimate performer in looks, natural talent, charisma, popularity, phenomenal voice, you name it, Elvis had it! He had so many enemies because of extreme jealousy against him.

[@stege9979]

You never see Elvis as comfortable as he is when singing gospel. It's his major love, and really shows. Elvis singing gospel is among my absolute favorites of all time.

[@Wildlife_SA.]

You are so right. Elvis said gospel puts his mind at ease. He always sang gospel with much respect and reverence to the Lord Jesus 🙏

[@cguzelli1]

I had an opportunity to talk to the Stamps and the Imperials Quartet back in 2008. They told me Elvis loved the Gospel segments of his concerts the best. He sang "Peace in The Valley" on Ed Sullivan with the Jordanaires in 1957 at the height of his rock and roll fame and RCA released an Extended Play 45rpm that same year. It should come as no surprise that Elvis 3 Grammy Awards all were for his gospel recordings.

Elvis Presley changed and talks about his past, but he has his fans in his mind....As you listen to Pastor Bob Joyce (Elvis) in this video when you go to 10:15 he hints about his life before! Interesting isn't it? Here are the words that he says (go to 10:15 in the video): "There is something about this man, that is so appealing to me. That I am not going to concern ... I'm not going to concern myself with what I was and what I had before. Because Jesus makes a difference in my life. There is something about Jesus that causes me not to even be so concerned about my life that I had before. Or my problems or whatever it is that I had in life. Suddenly things have changed, my mind has changed, my affections, my ah ... interests has changed. I'm not interested in how many fish I can catch today. I'm interested to see what Jesus is going to do next. Can you imagine walking with Jesus everywhere you went. Listen what I am telling you this morning is reality." YOU Always on His Mind by Pastor Bob Joyce kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4rXXoeEaLJlj7c

[@sandeedobberstine5591]

He won a Grammy for his gospel album.

[@flash8854]

Ok.. so here is the deal.. I know how hard it is to believe that Elvis is still alive. But to be alive and to be a preacher too. Now that is going to far right? Well NO. Not if you remember how much he loved God and how he was raised. Pastor Bob is preaching because he was raised to love Jesus. Elvis and Bob have that in common. Here is the real issue that people have. To believe that Elvis is still alive means that you have to WAKE UP to the real reality of things. Not everything you see or hear is true. Most people are happy just living in a dream world of false reality. Waking up when you are enjoying your sleep is not fun. Just try and wake someone up sometime when they are really tired and sleeping well.. You may get a black eye. So it's ok. No hard feelings here. You can believe what ever you want. I chose to wake up and live in a different reality. One where Elvis never died because he wanted to actually live. Elvis had no life. He was a prisoner in his own home. He couldn't even go to the store without being mobbed. People tried to tear his cloths off his body. He was never able to be himself, he had to always be Elvis. Well he put Elvis to rest in 1977. He died so that he could live. Now after all this time, he wants the world to know that He didn't do this only for personal reasons. He did it because he had no other alternative. You see Jesus said.. "If you loose your life for my sake you shall find it." Elvis needed to get away from Elvis and become a regular man so he could concentrate on Jesus and heal. Elvis was under a tremendous amount of pressure. People idolized him as if he were a god. But there is only ONE GOD! Elvis is not him. God is God and man is man. We can not keep on idolizing men and women. We need to only idolize God. If there is anything in this world that Elvis would love to do, that would be to come back to the public eye as himself and re start his music, preach the gospel and just be BOB. Can we get a big Amen for Bob? Let me tell you something.. I sure wouldn't mind giving this wonderful man my blessing.. He sure does deserve it. After all he still is the greatest singer in history. The "King Of Rock n Roll" .. But in reality he is just a regular man like you and me that loves God and Music. Give him a chance folks. He has a message that will knock your socks off and potentially save this stinking world.

That's it I'm going back in time to save Elvis from dying, His talent not only in music and movies but to whole generations is incredible and if he'd were still alive today everyone would be jam packing his concerts and tours

[@BHall-tw4ye]

Hello from Memphis. The King had a short life, but he truly had a great one. He accomplished so much. And he had fun, too. He had loving friends, loving family and adoring fans. Sometimes it’s not the years, but what you do with them. The drugs killed him. The drug rehab industry was still so young in the 1970s. He was and always will be a gorgeous, brilliant talent and a generous and loving soul.

[@marniedaniel9765]

LOL! I was just thinking the same thought this morning! Amen!

[@whitneywilliams317]

Well if you are back to 1968, save MLK too. Saving Elvis should be a piece of cake, all you have to do get rid of Tom Parker, he's the reason he's dead.

[@sharonanne6293]

My god he looks fantastic in that colour outfit. He truly was a beautiful man inside and out. Elvis loved gospel music and he sings it beautifully xx

[@christianzafiroglu6705]

For those wondering what exactly Presley brought to the production, besides his voice, it was that he wasn’t overwhelmed by the sets, the extras, the lights. He integrates when he needs to, and takes the lead in every sequence. This gospel sequence may be his most sincere section. Sure, he could rock like crazy, croon a tender pop song, even do juke joint level blues. But when he brought his gospel voice, that’s the purest Elvis. Somewhere Up Above and Saved are powerhouse takes. It’s him at a peak, which is better than just about anyone else.

If I'm not mistaken, the only Grammy award that was given Elvis while he was alive, was for Gospel albums

[@kelliintexas3575]

Elvis won all three of his GRAMMY Awards in gospel categories. He took home the Best Inspirational Performance category for 1972 for "He Touched Me"; two years later he won that category again for a live version of "How Great Thou Art." In total, Elvis collected 14 GRAMMY nominations over his career. He received his first three at the 2nd GRAMMY Awards in 1960: "A Big Hunk O' Love" nabbed Best Rhythm & Blues Performance and Best Performance By A "Top 40" Artist nominations while "A Fool Such As I" scored a nod for Record Of The Year. He would earn another Record Of The Year nomination the following year for "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" Seven classic Elvis singles have been inducted into the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame. Among rock artists, only the Beatles (15) and Bob Dylan (nine) equal or surpass his total.

[@jmatt4life]

That brick red outfit with the white collar and bolo scarf, WoW!!! And I thought the black leather outfit was avant garde when I saw it in a rerun. Elvis also was a sharp, snappy dresser! What didn’t he do off the charts? And his Gospel singing Also was innovative and ahead of the times. Elvis Presley, genuinely UNIQUE!!!

[@killerangel4160]

One people don’t understand with Elvis was his love for gospel music… the male background singers formed into a gospel group (I think they were called the stamps but I could be wrong with that)because at one of Elvis’ performances he let them sing just by themselves. He was so moved by the way they sang…before he went to sleeping pills these men would sing gospel songs to Elvis and with Elvis all night to help him go to sleep he said it really calmed his heart and helped him relax. He seemed the happiest and most passionate when he sang gospel songs and he made many gospel albums despite his producers telling him not to bec they didn’t think they would sell well but they did.

His Legacy must be preserved and protected at any cost, this man is too important for the history of music Because there,s nowbody like him enymore, and there never ever wil be.now 45 years after his passing there,s still no competition The man was miles away ahead of his time. 👌👍👍

[@beckym8245]

I think Prescilla is doing her utmost to keep his memory preserved. I don't suppose its all selfless on her part, after all, Elvis's memory is her income - but she and her team put a lot of effort in to keep the fans happy. In an ideal world, she would've just got on with her life many years ago. It can't be fun for her to be asked "do you still miss him?". The answer has to be "no", but for the fans' sake, she has to say yes. It keeps the romance of it all alive and she knows that. She (and her team) keeps his legacy perfectly alive.

True. Elvis was the Best of the last millennium and no one from this millennium could come anywhere close to him. Elvis will be taught in school like Bach.
