Jerry Schilling talks about Elvis the perfectionist

Jerry Schilling talks about Elvis the perfectionist.

[@crooning4leftovers125]

He's also deserved a producer credit on many of his records.

[@teresabaxter147]

Oh yes!!!

[@teresabaxter147]

That's why 40 years later he is still loved!!! He is a great person!!!!Loved 4 ever

[@soulman7429]

Absolutely. Great point! Amazing that virtually everyone that worked with Elvis in the studio over the years spoke of how he basically is one of the most under-rated producers in music history and verify that he was very Hands-On involved in the creative process throughout the years in the studio .... yet so few people (even many fans) are aware of this.

[@wendycushenan4907]

Well said...EP forever 💞

[@leebillington1909]

He really did! Elvis was an amazing music producer.

[@cherylb2008]

I really wish I could hear so much more from Jerry. He’s been around all those years. Elvis did work hard. He grew up poor.

[@dorarobertson3608]

IMO Jerry Schilling has been in a position to watch the good, the bad and the ugly of several famous families. He has a long friendship with Priscilla. He was with Priscilla when Lisa Marie was born and he was with Priscilla when Lisa Marie died. A great guy to have around.

[@kris-vs7ed]

He's written a half dozen books still available.

[@JoanMorrison-vq2jc]

​​​​​@@kris-vs7ed Jerry Schilling was a huge mooch like the rest of the Memphis Mafia! Very few of them didn't write a book about Elvis! I have a funny feeling that most of Elvis money went to the maintenance of the Memphis Mafia members. And what Elvis didn't give them they somehow managed to get. Again it's a funny feeling I get. Hmmm. Sad.

[@rosiedebevc1952]

Jerry is a real gentleman and former friend of Elvis

[@billj7784]

He never gets older, he will be 76 this year.

[@johnllewellyn7085]

It's amazing,to think Elvis could still be here with him

[@ritaanderson4855]

Jerry really is exceptionally young looking for his age!

[@JoanMorrison-vq2jc]

​@@ritaanderson4855 Priscilla probably paid for his cosmetic surgery 😊. I think he's going down 👎 fast.

[@kathrynenderby5997]

I’m a huge fan of elvis Presley’s 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 2:55pm

[@Mikeycrzed]

“Money and things a symbol of energy”. I can see that, but not sure if now we see that anymore, since the internet and people making money from home.

[@dabdella1460]

He meant the energy it took to have the things he owned I had a manual labor job And I counted the hours up that it took to buy the new couch I wanted it was my first new one and I earned it That kind of energy spent.

[@jozetteporter5584]

Jerry, Please make (all) privy to the last conversation you had with my-Elvis (ya know-the one he secretly recorded & his bff has myriad copies of). Listen to “Run On”⚡️⚡️💜❤️⚡️⚡️

[@LoanShoppingExpert]

It wasn't a conversation with Jerry Schiller that was recorded. It was one of the West bodyguards (can't remember which).

[@kathy-t5q]

The messy house was put in the Elvis movie Baz directed. Baz put so many scenarios in that film from bits and pieces of things he said . Billy Smith balked at the fact he never went in house with muddy feet. That wasn’t the point. He was telling how Elvis wanted a “clean” house as Jerry describes. Great film!!

[@kris-vs7ed]

That has been reiterated by a dozen people over 44 years. This isn't new information. I can't think of anything that hasn't been written in the dozens of books about Elvis by the MM, Girlfriends, family, cooks, and hangers on. etc.

[@luciaandy4791]

Sean Astin!!

[@debragarner4884]

Is there anyone who is as generous as Elvis, out here? I am in need of 15,000$!

[@resa.walters]

Why don't you start a youtube channel? Get someone to help you start one if need be.

[@janiceleighton7348]

But it became from others not respected so like he said he became a money symbol to others that 2as not respected

[@1980bwc]

Im not a big believer in Elvis still being alive, but......... Jerry said "Elvis 'IS' a perfectionist."

[@gassbaggerwoods5955]

slip of the tongue or wads in the moment of talking about elvis , jerry knows he is dead he saw him in the casket

[@kris-vs7ed]

No one is allowed upstairs. I guess Riley inherited the keys to the upstairs now. I don't think anyone should be allowed upstairs.

[@annmacleod1099]

I remember schilling shilling desimalization came in 1973 when a shilling was 10 pence from a 5 pence was a sixpence . If your saying no jerry then leave me alone and elvis to leave me alone stop harrassing me .

[@kris-vs7ed]

Jerry is the kindest. Is it true that Jerry and Linda are charging fans 1250.00 a piece for a conversation with them in the jungle room? Sounds like a lot of fans are not happy that Priscilla is going to be there. What must she be charging for a conversation? lol

[@resa.walters]

Not surprising. Super successful people generally like things as the should be. Lax lazy people do not get where Elvis got.

[@donnap587]

Do you get tired if talking about Elvis your whole entire life ? Can't you make a living some other way?

[@karenricci3712]

Thank god they do talk about him.

[@Blackhatchic1]

don’t hate because He Can & You Can’t!! Thank you jerry ❤️

[@bonniebrown6960]

DonnaP, yeah he makes a living by staying close to Priscilla and Lisa too. Sometimes I wonder if Priscilla and Jerry Shillings are in a relationship with each other. She should marry him. Just about every time I see Priscilla or Jerry they are together.

[@lisettegarcia7013]

You saying that is like telling Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr to no longer talk about John Lennon, George Harrison, Mal Evans, George Martin and/or Brian Epstein.

[@kellikillian8445]

He managed The Beach Boys among other bands. He had a full career outside of Elvis

[@MikaelVitalyVyacheslav-bh2fk]

Elvis had mental and health illness(depression) brought on by use of sleeping pills , opiate drugs , eating junk food , sleeping all day and being awake all night , alcohol , woman , parties ,. A 24-7 sick unhealthy life style , obesety and that led to his cardiac arrest. The addiction to prescription drugs .Elvis was in "severe debt" and was obligated to do two shows a night regardless of how terrible he felt and how exhausted he was .When you spend more that you make you become a debt slave to all that live off you .(leaches) he had to pay and feed all those bums and leaches around him ......his unhealthy life style style kill him ! Elvis was a drug addict , a sex addict , a junk food addict , A Narcissistic addict ...Elvis was a peado he was knocking around with a girl of 13years old called priscilliaHe's right about them supposedly reading the bible, the believing in God thing was purely a PR thing to appeal to as many fans as possible, , his image was something he could never live up to, it was a "well crafted" "image" but the person behind it was nothing like it.and knew what he was doing. Because of his elevated status he was virtually untouchable. He clicked his fingers and everyone ran to his command. This is what happens when you put someone on a pedestal...... They fall. He became nothing more than cabaret at the end of his career, a bit of a freak show really. watch 1979 ELVIS PRESLEY drug use exposé on ABC 20/20 The truth ! watch rare video kzbin.info/www/bejne/ombdfamdfqeWb5Y

[@jacquelineb.773]

never alcohol !!,, opiate drugs were given for pain, by doctors and " parties " were singing , before judge, " walk a mile in his shoes " you son -of ...... ch

[@briancollins5117]

You make some valid points. And hard as it is to hear it, there are some sad truths there. His life was a study in contrasts. He grew up with nothing in extreme poverty yet he was gifted with unmatched good looks, singing ability, charisma and appeal. His early career before he went into the army was culture changing and his world wide fame will probably never be achieved by anyone ever again.
