Over half his life being the most known person on the planet - 46yrs on his legacy still going strong.

Marty’s daughter said in an interview that the day Elvis died, Marty locked himself in a bedroom and cried like a baby. She had never seen or heard her father cry before. He loved Elvis with all his heart.

His meal ticket died, you mean.

@@aalexjohna That is so insulting. Elvis was the one who wanted his guys around him. They all loved him and they actually didn’t earn that much money.

Well I dunno what else a close relatives would've otherwise said cuz when Elvis died all the "hangers-on" would have to join the real world and participate as ordinary people! And that can b a rather frightening thing! Sort of like starting all over again doncha think?

I wish Elvis had some way of knowing how loved he was and is. The craziness of his popularity a few years after his passing is incredible in itself..like marty said who else in the world has attracted so much attention after they've passed like Elvis Presley. But 40 something years later it hasn't stopped.. people cannot get enough. Graceland is the #2 most historical visitted place in the country per year behind the Whitehouse being the first. Unbelievable. Elvis Presley sir you made a huge mark while you were on the earth. You are loved by the whole world and you are missed.

[@randyharris3175]

Funny thing Colonel Parker was asked the same question. He couldn't answer said it was unexplanible.

[@derekmyers3258]

Somehow Elvis knows, finally. Just take my word for it. I'm not going off on any "Elvis is Alive" jazz, but yeah. He knows. And he loved his fans more than life itself. They were his reason for existence.

[@michillene]

Elvis had it all, that's why he's not forgotten and still loved .He was one in a million, nobody has ever been able to replicate him and nobody ever will. It didn't hurt that he was so gorgeous looking and sexy, along with all his other beautiful traits..

[@chairlesnicol672]

MARION HARRIS Yeah but he several physical traits that weren't very good and caused him a lot of discomfort,so I doubt u would wanna have a clone of Elvis . medically/ scientifically speaking!

Hi from England The late Sir David Frost interviewing Marty and Billy back in 1980. Even then people wanted to come to Memphis just to have some connection to ELVIS. Watching this snippet and you think of the 42 years it has been it is a long time ago but those years have gone in a "flash" Billy then really did look like Sonny Bono 😊😊😊♥♥♥♥🌹🌹🌹

[@anAngelisHard2find]

en excellent interview with insights on the real Elvis Presley. I agree that Elvis enjoyed his success. All things have a cost of sorts. Some of those costs were the isolation and seclusion that Elvis seeked in order to balance his life out. Everything that life dishes out, It always has a cost.

I think it was the power of his voice and his interviews people could sense what he was all about. Ofcourse it didn't hurt he was good looking and the devotion he had for his mother. Many reasons.

The book "Elvis What Happened" hurt Elvis to the core. After all he did for these men and they all turned on him in the end. It reminds me of how Jesus's diciples all turned against him at the end. He bought these men everything. houses, cars. so much! When Vernon had to let them go due to money issues and intended to hire them back when they could, what did they do? They turned on Elvis. Did they ask what THEY could do to help? No they wrote that horrible book. They have to live with that for the rest of their lives and face Elvis in the afterlife.

[@diningroomfish5470]

That's what happens,it's a very fine line between things staying the same and it all falling apart, remember all these men had family's, out of nowhere they don't a job, so that's how it goes, you shit on me,I take a bigger shit on you, that's what red,sonny and Dave did

[@florabraswell8423]

It so strange seeing how young Billy ‘ Marty were here ! Time goes bye so fast ‘ too fast ‘ they were still in their Prime ‘ l was still in my Prime “ l was even younger then Billy, probably about two years younger then Jo ‘ Billy’s wife “WoW “ wish l could go back again “. Then again not sure don’t believe l’d want too ‘ thanks for the video sharing! 🙏🕺🙏💙🌸

[@user-bv9kj7yp3b]

Все в ММ имели много обязанностей , они не были бездельниками !!! Элвис выбрал людей , с которыми ему было комфортно , он любил их. Марти Лакер помог Элвису в выпуске его платиновых альбомов . Билли Смит был братом и доверенным лицом . Они честнее и правдивее остальных , они лучше других .

Yes, and he was Elvis's best man at his wedding. Sadly, he was left out of the Baz movie. Maybe he didn't get along with Priscilla. I saw an interview where he called her the anti-Christ.
