Elvis Last 24 Hours

I have taken the liberty to edit some of the rough language from this documentary. I still recommend that it be considered PG-13 due to subject matter and what is left of mature language. I just wanted to upload a more censored version since it is a great documentary, with the exception of the Elvis impersonator performing An American Trilogy at the end. Otherwise it is an awesome documentary.

I'm from California and flew with my dad to visit Graceland in 1996. My dad looked like the late Elvis with the slick back hair, a little on the heavy side and had the long side burns. At the gift shop I bought him 2 pairs of the Elvis lookalike sunglasses. When we left the tour and drove back to the hotel, at least 3 different people did double takes looking at my dad as he wore the sunglasses while in the passenger seat of our car. He got a kick out of it and made his day. Good times. Rest in peace Pop.

I was exactly Lisa Marie's age in 1977 visiting my relatives in Cape Breton. All the adults were gone out of the house for some reason and it was just me and my brother and we heard it on the radio they left on. It's sort of freaking me out that she is gone though. Because even though I didn't know her I remember her at every stage of her life as I was at the same stage (through the tabloids though as we had a corner store, lol). I remember her high school rebellious years as in the tabloids would discuss it. Lol. And I remember her on the cover of People with her baby in the late 80s when she had her daughter, her music career in the 2000s, etc.

He had so many people on payroll, taking a long break would affect these people's families and livelihood. Being the kind person he was, I'm sure that was another reason he didn't take a break or slow down. He felt a sense of responsibility to so many people, including the Colonel. Part of his demise was his unwillingness to put himself first and his own needs which at the same time shows how much he loved and cared for the people around him. He was a gift to us and a national treasure.

Elvis's life is incomprehensible to ordinary folks. From poverty to the highest altitude of fame and accessibility is unimaginable. I have always been a fan of Elvis even though he wasn't big in my era but in my mom's era. I have always had a passion for music and his pictures were plastered all over my bedroom wall as a teenager. His contribution to music is to be cherished and appreciated always. His physical beauty & magnetism, unlike any other musician I have ever seen (a few may have that special something but no one has ever matched him). For me, The '68 Comeback was the BEST & LAST of the raw & original Elvis that I so loved. Vegas, the cheesy movies & his demise with drugs...ALL NOT how I wish to remember him. Went to see the new Elvis movie with Austin Butler and can honestly say he deserves an award for his portrayal. I also loved that this movie depicted Elvis's early influence and throughout the years, which is soooo significant. What I never knew was how Elvis's mom was an alcoholic who drank herself to death. I also don't think his father was ever the family protector. I think Elvis has always carried the weight of responsibility for others on his shoulders and it ultimately just became too heavy a burden. A lot of talk about the evil of drugs killing Elvis but seems to me the carnival con "Colonel" was just as evil and destructive as the drugs were in Elvis's life. The drugs destroyed his body and mind but the Colonel destroyed his spirit.

We would go to a Drive Inn restaurant in Missoula, where we were from and he’d set on the hood of his 1955 Chevy and start playing and singing then jump off the car and start his dance . Oh! I can still see him and hear him. I had a curfew ,had to be home at 11:00pm. And he’d say I have to get my girl home. Glenn was drafted into the Air Force and was stationed at Amarillo AFB, Texas. We lost track of each other and I married in 1958. After Elvis died I got to go to Graceland. A trip I’ll never forget as long as I live. His ‘55 Pink Cad. convertible is in a show case in the MGM Casino in Las Vegas,Nevada. I had the pleasure of seeing it. I never ever got to see him in person as when his show was in Reno because all tickets were sold out months before he appeared.

[@williamwingo4740]

Many people heard about it on their car radios and immediately headed for Memphis--didn't even go home to pack. At least one lady was later charged with child abandonment for leaving her kids alone and unsupervised when she went to be near Elvis in death. I myself was on the way to Las Vegas and heard it about it on the car radio while driving across Hoover Dam. Las Vegas was an interesting place to be that night. On top of everything else, there was a torrential rainstorm with considerable localized flooding, as if the heavens were weeping for the King. Added in edit: On the first anniversary of his death a year later, Memphis was in the middle of a public-service crisis. The police and fire departments were both on strike, and there was dusk-to-dawn curfew enforced by the National Guard. Elvis fans didn't care about that, and thousands of them descended on the city anyway. Many arrived at the bus station without any lodging arrangements, and just took a cab straight to Graceland. Hundreds of people jammed the sidewalks in front of the mansion. With the curfew approaching, Vernon went down to the gate and offered to let the crowds onto the grounds for the night so they wouldn't get arrested--but they had to promise not to approach the house, and to leave first thing in the morning. What more could a true Elvis fan desire than to spend the night on the King's front lawn? One woman from Pennsylvania later wrote a letter/article printed in the Memphis paper, describing it as the most beautiful and serene night of her life. Most folks who lived in Memphis in those days could tell one or two Elvis stories. In my case, I worked at one of the movie theatres he would sometimes rent after hours, and we also had the same Tae Kwon Do instructor, Master Kang Rhee; but we never actually met. 🤠

My dad graduated high school in 58' went in to the Army. Was in the same time as Elvis, in Germany in fact. My Dad had such an uncanny resemblance to him, freaky like. Same smile and all, wasn't forced, it just was. My Dad would get mistaken for him all the time, would get kicked out of pool halls when they realized it wasn't really Elvis. When i was a kid I was looking at my dad's army pictures and asked him why he had pictures of Evis. He thought that was pretty funny and showed me actual pictures he had of Elvis from that time. It was bizarre, you'd think my dad was his deceased twin brother. Even as my Dad aged in the 70's he had the big chop side burns too. I wish I could attach pictures.

A friend and I got into a heated discussion over who deserves the Oscar for Best Actor, and the nominations haven’t even come out yet. They’ll be announced on the 24th. I believe the two front runners will be AB & Brendan Fraser (The Whale), especially since AB just won the GG award & BF won the CC award (which also kind of makes me nervous)! 🫣 My friend said it’s not fair for me to want AB to win because I haven’t seen BF in The Whale. I responded that in my opinion AB deserves to win over BF for one very important reason i.e., AB not only played EP, incredibly and spot-on, he’s also singing most of the songs in the movie, which is based on a true story! Sorry, not sorry, but as good as BF ‘s performance may be, the character is fictional and based on a play, and none of the predictions for best actor nominees are in true stories either.

Elvis had propably more fun and joy in his lifetime than the rest of us in 80 + years. Yes, it is heartbreaking, his personality and gift is unmatched but he lived life to the fullest. The average person goes through one crisis after another and hates life more than once in a lifetime. May it be because of job, finances, relationships, separations, kids, losses, some devastating disease, acicidents or whatever life throws at people. If I would have a choice I would rather pass at a younger age when times are good before enduring senselessly endless pain and disappointments through a full lifetime.

Can't imagine how much pressure, how hopeless, and alone he must've felt in the end. "Treatment" wasn't really a big thing. He had to carry so much on his shoulders, and he carried it all.

Lisa Marie said it so well to Oprah, “when you have an addiction mixed with the ivory tower, where you can remove people you don’t want to hear that’s when you get into trouble.” “If you spoke up you were out, it’s very simple.” and she was so right. Elvis was one of a kind, a true gentlemen and also a man with so many health issues and dealt with physical pain and still managed to perform the way he did. He will be remembered for all time. Would have loved to see what he did in the 80’s and 90s I like to think maybe had a few more children and done some amazing movies-he would have won an Oscar, and traveled around the world and done some amazing shows.

Such a wonderful human being . He was raised with nothing and felt responsible for everyone. He could not quit no matter what. Even to his detriment. But every thing stopped after his death. Good lesson for all of us. Love you Elvis Presley.

But I don't like is when he died his three bodyguards wrote a book about him probably BC they weren't making any more money off of Elvis so I have no respect for his bodyguards! Don't even get me started on that freaking Colonel he was nothing but a compulsive Gambler and that's why he worked Elvis to death BC he gambled all his damn money away! And if I'm right he also took half of Elvis's money that he made! But I lost all respect for his alleged bodyguards that acted like they cared about Elvis so much but the minute he died and they weren't making any more money they wrote a book about Elvis

This was so hard to watch and so very sad, even now I got a lump in my throat for Elvis watching this video. He had a hard time towards the end of his life and I can believe the loneliness he was feeling even with everyone around him. Elvis will always be Number One with me, I listen to his music all the time. I've been a fan of Elvis since I was 9 years old, I'm now 75, my birthday is two days after Elvis' bithday. May his dear soul rest in eternal peace. God bless his lovely soul.
