Have never listened to Linda Thompson speaking about Elvis before. She comes across quite a nice person and very natural (nothing false) about her. At least thats the feeling l get.

[@gpt465]

Linda was the one that had the most in common!Being southern they did understand each other! Know Billy Jo Smith loved her!Like Elvis they were just down home people❤❤❤❤

I’m a huge fan of elvis Presley’s and I love 💕 elviss music and flims too elvis will always be the king 👑 of rock and roll 🎸 my dream is to visit Graceland and communicate with elvis elvis will never be forgotten bye all us elvis fans from around the world 🌎 2:02pm thanks tcb ⚡️10:44am

[@kellysisney1383]

Beautiful story

[@stevenoels2757]

Linda is one of the most beautiful precious souls to have ever entered Elvis's life and I am so happy they met. She is such a respectful lady of his memory and always speaks with such love about him, there is some contrast to how Priscilla talks of Elvis and while I believe Priscilla and Elvis were very much in love she has not always spoken respectfully of him. Great upload thanks.

[@ElvisNewsExaminer]

You're welcome!

[@juanabarrientos2358]

Bueno creo que Priscilla quisieta ser el mismo Elvis Presley el único rey y Dios de Rock and Roll... Pero bueno elvis rs y sera eternamente el Rey y el hombre más talentoso y hermoso que ha caminado por este planeta.. Priscilla no es nadie

[@juanabarrientos2358]

Gracias Linda por ser tan linda y rrspetar a nuestro Rey.

I love 💕 Linda. Her love 💕 for Elvis was and still is today so TRUE. It brings a tears to my eyes😢💓💓🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘

[@RobertSmith-ih1pj]

I believe so too I like what Lee majors said that is Elvis would have stuck with Linda and Red and Sonny and all the boys Elvis may still be here today and what Lee majors says

[@Susan-nz7fu]

I think he would be so upset the way everybody tells all his personal things as he was such a private person but i suppose thats what some people will do for money quite sad .

[@Elizabeth-dw6lc]

I think he would be too. He was a private person.

[@marilzegomesalves6041]

Traduza para o português o que Linda estar falando por favor obrigado parabéns pelo seu trabalho

[@m1m767]

What a lovely recounting of their meeting. I read Linda's book as soon as it was available and it's by far one of the best "Elvis stories" ever written. In contrast to some of the others, it's one of the most respectful stories told about part of his life.

[@anY-bf9ud]

She revealed some very personal things about Elvis too 😠

[@Elvis68spec]

Very cool video! Don Blake

[@ElvisNewsExaminer]

Thank you!

[@Memow-pk1ng]

@@ElvisNewsExaminer no they were not separated for 6 mos, as Linda saus, but might as well been . Mrriagewas in trouble for some time, & Prisc was seeing Mike S early as Dec 70, after Elvis started touring, Sept70, plus had his Vegas show. She officially left early 72, & El. & Linda met shortly after. and divorce was final Oct. 73..

[@robertshabarekh610]

This was cool

[@nitasheehan2704]

Linda is a southern lady, and I'm sure that Elvis appreciated that.

[@ritaanderson4855]

And Priscilla was not southern and was not a lady! Linda was right that she understood Elvis. but Priscilla and Elvis were a complete mismatch!

Listen to all the women say that go out with him! Word for word! Lol

[@krystynagorazdowska3746]

Niech te jego kobiety, dadzą,a już spokój Elvisowi, teraz mogą mówić co sobie wymysla i chcą, wszyscy chcieli mu pomoc, ale Elvis nie pozwalał, głupia gadka, nieraz tracił przytomność że zmęczenia, z przepracowania, mogli wykorzystać te sytuację, wszyscy razem zmusili by Parkera do położenia Elvisa do s,pitala, ale potrzebne były każdemu pieniadze, wyobrażam sobie co wszyscy wymyślają i wygadują na temat Elvisa, mają swoje pięć minut, parcie na szklo zostało jednak wszystkim!!!!

[@joshmcown6840]

Linda, believe you would have made a good wife to Elvis; Elvis Presley probably would have still been alive being married to you. Linda Thompson so whatever happens between you and Elvis Presley❓ May Linda Thompson read this. Susie in Florida Sat.22June

[@suzettewhite3097]

Pricilla is terrible where Elvis is concerned!! She has done what she has for money!! It’s nice to hear the ones that truly loved him and speak of him with respect.

[@dennispeet8543]

Well, why didn’t your relationship work with him then?

[@ANNA-sd5ys]

She decided Elvis's lifestyle, she was living wasn't how she wanted to conduct her life. The womanizing and drugs.

[@ANNA-sd5ys]

Sadly she went on to marry Bruce Jenner and bore him two sons.

[@dennispeet8543]

@@ANNA-sd5ys Well, what kind of lifestyle did she end up with? I think I will spend a lot of time with her.

Still spending his money ​@@dennispeet8543

[@benjamin6492]

i htink he should have never married ,but i htink elvis thought it was what he had to do ,a family thing but in the era he was growing up ,staying single seem to be what men wanted to do ,hence people living together more without marriage

[@susiemitchell8555]

Four years now five snd that woman spend a lot of Elvis money yes you linda ruined his home that horrible red till Priscilla changed it to a better colour more class that you do not have

[@resa.walters]

Ms. Linda said at Elvis week 2023 that they both chose red, black, and gold colors. Who knows?

[@maggieweatherford-khorries7182]

I don't believe a word that she is saying Oh my what lies

[@HaroldSeddon-g9u]

Elvis never loved her. From 72 to 76. He was will all kinds of women

[@annd2350]

Then he never loved anyone.

[@soniacastillo9684]

Linda was good with him, too late to save him. He was in too much pressure, and he should have gone for treatment .

[@minelliradney9132]

Why she don't speak bad about Bruce Jenner? We don't need to here that. Talk about the ex's alive not dead No wonder Precilla not feeling her. U all speak harsh about Precilla, but u never hear Precilla speak about her Elvis health went down quick with her but not Precilla Look at how good Elvis looked with Precilla That should tell people Precilla tried

[@Memow-pk1ng]

In case u don't know th story, Prisc moved to Graclnd, 62,@age 18, El. was 28,.. He was in his prime, 34, in Comeback Special 68. Aloha Hawaii, Jan 73, was still looking good, then started downhill.. wasn't Linda fault th drug abuse escalated,.. was th Col. P.. overbooked concerts, & w/ aid from DrNick, kept El. drugged up, to get on stage Linda saved his life many times from OD Ing. She put up w/ his cheating, & stuck by his side, became more of a nursemaid then girlf. El was already seeing Ginger, when still with Linda.. Linda would never went to sleep, till knew El was safely asleep,.. or wasmonitored by one of staff,MM .,

Listen to Mindi Miller talk! All of these women could be word for word! Isn't that funny!

[@kathy-t5q]

Agree. The hate for Pricilla is ridiculous.

[@resa.walters]

@@kathy-t5q People are jealous of Priscilla's beauty, and the fact that she landed Elvis.

[@resa.walters]

@@juliehodge2831 Maybe Elvis was a pretty consistent person. That's better than being flaky. I believe he was always the same person like him or not. He has millions of adoring fans all around the world for a reason. He was a good man. We all have flaws, but judge not lest ye be judged. I believe Elvis's intentions were good, though he didn't get credit for the good he did. He didn't get gratitude enough either.

[@ChefBarb58]

He IS GONE AND AFTER LINDA HE GOT ANOTHER WOMAN.. SHE NEEDS TO LET IT GO AND STOP CASHING IN ON SOMEONE THATS NOT HERE TO DEFEND HIMSELF. JUST STOP SOUL MATES YOU HUNTING MEN THAT HAD MONEY.. LOOK THAT UP. 🤑.
