I love that they use the slides on these presentations. Well-told story and entertaining! Thanks for posting!

Fantastic show, I just love listening to people rehash stories of Elvis's early days. It is all in books now, so none of this was new to me, but not everybody reads as many books about Elvis as I do😂 so many would be unaware of the back story.

This is brilliantly done. I have not heRd of him before but his perspective is similar to my own - slow down the telling of the story and i love that he used the example of Vegas / Aloha / Dead which is far too often the approach in the telling fof the Elvis story. Great stuff.

Very interesting show , but I must stick up for Freddie Bell - He and the Bell boys were singing Rock n Roll / R&B back in 52/53 and had a great stage show - more like The Treniers then Haley. The reason they were accepted in Vegas was they were slick and talented and still had the jazzier beat which was ok with the older audiences in Vegas. Remember Freddie Bell appeared along with Bill Haley in the first Rock n Roll Movie in 1956 -Rock around the Clock, which also caused outrage with parents on its release.

I was a great fan of Freddie Bell and the Bellboys, great music to jive to back in the fifties (I am 75 and was just starting to listen to rock)

Elvis Presleys twin brother Jessie Presley the first born male child is "NOT" buried at Graceland with the Presley family members, the reason being they cannot find the body or the Grave of Jessie Presley, will Jessie Presley be one of the Great Signs from heaven spoken of in the book of (St.luke 21;11) "And Great Signs shall there be from Heaven ", The coming of Big Brother, That's right "Big Brother" is coming, Fool's we should have knowen, "Sincerely Your's", Joe Mankiewicz, "The Prophet"...

What is this all about. This poor baby die, many years ago. Please, let him rest in peace. He is not a prophet, & his not raisin up. Only Jesus, can raise the dead. So stop this nonsense.

[@riseharris5204]

Jesse is buried in Tupelo and the family has always known where he’s buried. Billy Smith told you that a long time ago. Stop the drama!

@@riseharris5204 Vernon Presley could not find the body or grave of Jessie Presley, Billy Smith , you can't believe Billy Smith, Vernon Presley kicked him off Graceland because of what Billy Smith was, a freeloader bulshiter.
