Elvis Kicks Memphis Mob Out of The Studio & Records Biggest Hit

[@lauramuttoni130]

Elvis was unique and superb. I am from Uruguay and was his fan since 1963.❤

[@andrewskrypnyk601]

I was 12 years old at my friends house when on the radio an announcer was talking of Elvis. “Shhh!” I said. “I Love Elvis. Let me hear what they are saying about him.” And the DJ announced that Elvis Presley had died. I felt a wave of something come over me and I was never the same again. The whole world changed forever that day. Thanks Elvis.

I think the way Elvis treated people professionally and personally is what made him phenominal. His charisma and his humility is something everyone loved about him. That is why still today he is considered the greatest, the king of music. And his connection through his music has stood the test of time. Long live his legacy!

To me there is not a bigger icon than Elvis Presley. How is it that one man could be such a magnet to millions of people? I mean, the biggest celebrities of that time were in awe of him. There simply isn't an explanation. He's just......Elvis.

[@obsolise8063]

It certainly is a little weird… It’s like there’s Elvis - then there’s every other celebrity that has ever been, now & back then. He’s literally in a field of his own - nobody can ever compare… ever. & the lucky sods that got to live him… wow, jammy bastards!!

Unique. Prince from another planet indeed. When he walked past past me to go on to the stage at the Cow Palace, I felt this incredible energy field as he passed.

I couldn't believe the power of his voice, you cannot imagine it being better than his records, but somehow it was. 47 years later and I still remember him as clearly as if it was yesterday.❤

Apart from his talent and looks, Elvis obviously had a huge impact on the musicians around him and that was because of the kind of man he was.There were very few people who were not in awe of Elvis when they first met him and I'm sure Elvis knew it, but through it all he remained a genuine, down to earth, caring person, who treated his musicians with respect and dignity. There was something very, very special about Elvis and everyone knew it, right from the beginning. It came through in his talent and it came through in how he treated people. Thx. for sharing Joe.

BS, You shouldn't believe everything you hear and read, it doesn't make it true! Elvis did not know how old Priscilla was when he met her and he flew back to USA soon after. Nothing happened between them until years later!

[@mariahenderson9425]

@@ikewp901 Very true . She may have been 14 when he met her but so what . The house was always full of people including his Dad ,Step Mom , Step Brothers ( who lived there ) .Her parents who took her there in the first place and many of his pals . They had no time alone together. He left soon after meeting her and returned to Memphis . Her adoptive father was stationed in Germany for two more years . He then was demobbed to Texas . By the time they left Germany Priscilla was 16. She still lived with her parents though she insisted she was allowed to speak to Elvis via phone . After conversations via phone she was giving her parents a living hell . ( This is all stated on Elvis By The Presleys ) . Her parents had their work cut out with her . Eventually her Dad phoned Elvis and said that she was demanding she moved to Graceland . His dad agreed she could go under strict rules that she lived under Vernon Presleys roof and that Elvis enrolled her in a private Catholic Girls School. Naturally he had to pay the school fees . She has openly admitted that after some time she was sneaking into Graceland though Elvis was not to thrilled about it . Eventually she moved in fully . They indulged in petting but did NOT have intercourse till their wedding night. She.also admitted in her book ( her own words ) that she used to beg him to go" all the way " but he refused to do that till their wedding night . I really dont think he had a hankering for little girls because after all , priscilla had been throwing herself at him for long enough and he was refusing ! She said it was due to his upbringing and beliefs . Its all in her book

@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum Hi Joe ! Thanks for the work you're doing. My brother was in the Royal Navy and had to sail to the Falklands to femove the Argentinians from the Islands. Some war ! At one point some of the crew on the Ark Royal got to do an overnight billet with local families. My brother took his guitar and did a few songs for the family. My brother was shocked to learn that this family did not know Elvis Presley was dead. He was a bit upset that he'd been the one to tell them. These Islands are so remote, and at the time there wasn't much to entertain them. Hopefully, they're in a better position these days.

Elvis was more than great! It was Bill Porter, the legendary recording engineer, that captured it all on tape. Bill started recording Elvis upon his returned from the army, in 1960, and continued until Elvis's death. Porter also mixed his live performances from 1970 to 1977. Presley and Porter often spoke about what was real. At the request of the Presley family, Bill recorded Elvis's funeral. Bill was a real southern gentleman and a friend of mine. Harold Cohen.

IMO I think they too would like to sing or play an instrument…….BUT HAVE NO TALENT AT ALL!!!!! Then they feel good criticizing someone like Elvis…… nothing but PURE ENVY!!!!!! Elvis had it all!!!!!! There are not so many ppl on this Earth, gifted as Elvis was!!! I do believe he was anointed by God, for having soooooooooo many gifts in one person is unusual.

[@CaptivaIsland1944]

As I was saying……….to Katy Gamer0615 WHO HAS EVER HAD A CONCERT, VIA SATELLITE, like Elvis did?????? ALOHA FROM AWAY WAS IN JANUARY 1973. A few days before the Concert he had his 38th birthday! His looks and his singing were simply MAGNIFICENT!!!!! Practically the whole world saw this OUTSTANDING CONCERT, “ALOHA FROM HAWAII “ Think about it this Concert was on 50 yrs ago. FIFTY YEARS AGO!!!!!!!!! Poor Elvis he was 38 and only 4 yrs later he passed away. There will never be another Elvis, so Charismatic, HUMBLE, tremendous singer, HEART OF GOLD, forgot to mention of the beauty of this man, he was AWESOME LOOKING!!!! But my question is that 50 yrs ago there was this FANTASTIC CONCERT IN HAWAII,that BILLIONS OF PPL SAW IT………. When did any other singer ever came close to something as big as a CONCERT VIA SATELLITE? NEVER!!!!! FIFTY YEARS ITS A LONG, LONG TIME, and as I see it there isn’t anyone that has all the gifts that Elvis was blessed with . IF THERE WAS SUCH AN ARTIST THAT WAS CAPABLE OF DOING WHAT ELVIS DID, DONT YOU THINK THE WHOLE WORLD WOULD HAVE HEARD. ABOUT IT????????? PERHAPS ONE DAY SOMEONE COMES ALONG WITH AN AWESOME VOICE, but lacking the MAGNETISM. THAT ELVIS HAD, in other words … not a candidate for a second “ CONCERT VIA SATELLITE “ P E R I O D !!!!! If I’d didn’t happen in 50 yrs “FIFTY YEARS “ believe me, “IT AIN’T. GONE HAPPEN “!!!!!! He could have a CONCERT FOR 50K or. 100K … his Concerts were always SOLD OUT!!!! I ask you in a nice way, if you come here to talk bad about this AWESOME HUMAN BEING THAT WAS ELVIS, there is just one word that explains it all= YOU ARE ONE DAMN JEALOUS PERSON. THE RIGHT THING FOR A JEALOUS PERSON TO DO IS TO --- TAKE A LONG WALK ON A SHORT PIER!!!! GOT IT !!!!! Good, now don’t come back here, you don’t BELONG HERE. THIS PLACE IS FOR THE PPL THAT LOVED ELVIS, and us FANS OF ELVIS WILL LOVE HIM AND LISTEN TO HIS SONGS. TILL THE DAY WE, I repeat… TILL THE DAY WE DIE!!! REST IN PEACE -PRECIOUS ELVIS.

I was watching a rerun of Get Smart, I was 10 years old, it was a sunny day around dinnertime. News Bulletin. I told my Mom, the phone started ringing.... The outpouring of grief was unfortunately matched a little over three years later by another shocking death. The sad thing was, immediately after he died, they just couldn't wait to trash him in the press for his lifestyle which only added to the shock. And no one really knew until then..... Only one Elvis. He had a great voice and he was the best frontman in the history of rock n roll. Plain and simple. Those early years were simply too good. The era that produced Suspicious Minds and Kentucky Rain was great to hear about, that's just great stuff, it really is. The singing is incredible, his voice was really strong there. Thanks for this one.

[@luvbasses5487]

Joe...this clip is pure gold. Thank you, yet again! Ya know....amid all the fanfare, lighting rigs, background singers and Guercio’s brass, was Jerry Scheff. When I discovered all the live Elvis stuff years back- everything from ‘69 to Aug. ‘77...for me personally, it’s always been about what Jerry offered up with this band. His exemplary bass playing urged me to play better. Ronnie Tutt and Glen D. Harding, Jim Burton and Jerry is usually where my focus would rest. Elvis did recruit the best no doubt. Tommy Cogbill’s playing too...is off the charts amazing. He was like the Jamerson of the south. A talent of the highest order he was...and sorely missed. Thanks Joe.

When I was 16 all my friends hated Elvis I couldn't help but think why the best musicians in the world at the time praised Elvis and loved him, made me do research and when I did I became an Elvis fan and have been for the last 40 years.. I love all music except rap I let my emotions move me that's how I decide what kind of music I like and no one did it better than Elvis.. he could sing the phone book and make it sound awesome his charisma his Southern draw and mannerism is unmatched not to mention how much of a stud he was every guy wanted to look like Elvis LOL, he had the look that women loved and men feared LOL there will never be anybody cooler than Elvis Presley.🤙

In '77 I was in Vegas and was casual friends with a guitarist, Keith Lee. I'm a musician and was introduced to Keith by a mutual friend because of our musical connection. Keith told me he just got the job playing guitar for Elvis's next tour. Not knowing him well, I didn't wholly believe him. Late in '77 I ran into him again through this same friend and went to see him in this all black jazz band. He's also black. I had no ideal what a monster player he was. Sadly, Elvis died before that tour.

[@jakemitchell1671]

More great stuff from Joe. It says a lot about the impact of Elvis' LIFE that an 11 year old boy (ME), with countless interests and things to do, preoccuppied with fishing and football and baseball and girls (almost, anyway :) still recalls vividly the moment he heard of Elvis's death: I was in the kitchen when the phone rang. Like most families in those days we had ONE phone hanging on the wall. I answered and it was a friend of my little sister's. She was crying and I could hardly understand what she was saying. I gave the phone to my sister, who within 20 seconds had tears streaming down her cheeks. She lowered the phone and in a broken, crying voice whispered, "Elvis is dead." I was just a kid - had started learning guitar a couple months prior - but I'd never known a time when there was NOT Elvis. We lived 20 minutes from Memphis, very near where Elvis's Circle G Ranch is located. In fact, a good friend of my dad's came up with a business scheme were he would purchase a tiny portion of the Ranch and sell bottles of dirt allegedly dug up and bottled there. I say "allegedly" because this was just one of many sca...I mean, "schemes"...this dude devised over the years! lol Anyway, losing Elvis meant more to me than I would EVER have thought.

I remember the day he died . My mother and I were shopping for school cloth's and were getting in the car leaving the store. My mom cranked up the car and it came over the radio that Elvis had died and my mom started to cry unconsoleable I felt so bad for her and that I couldn't comfort her. We sat ion the JCPenny parking lot a good 15 to 20 mins until she was able to drive and then never spoke a word the whole way home. i will never forget that day!!

Chips was a fantastic producer. Unfortunately Felton Jarvis and the Colonel had the upper hand.

[@icanfartloud]

@@GeorgiaOverdrive bullshit, Colonel only intercepted what he could, Elvis didn't have control over movie scene-specific songs. The colonel tried to push what they controlled in publishing yes, but Elvis could do mostly what he wanted after 68. If he actually wanted to...

[@gracieg7601]

What gets me is Elvis knew when he made a error. Maybe that’s the reason when he worked with RCA that he would do so many takes. He liked to listen to a song after it was recorded. But that’s why they rehearsed so much before a big show.

[@patgrimes298]

In hearing these men talk about Elvis, how they admired him very much. They knew Elvis was the real deal. I have heard some of his takes on KZbin. Yes, he sounded very good before the final take. It is said he had a very good memory too. Yes, I had a crush on Elvis, if I had known him, I would have liked being a little sister to him, knowing him personally (at home, every day life). He stayed down to earth, appreciated his success very much. I wish he lived years longer, to live at Graceland longer, he could tell the stories too, and for his daughter, Lisa Marie (not necessarily in that order). When anyone that knew Elvis, that talks about the day he died, I tear up or cry. It has been that many years since he died, but when that day comes to mind (days afterwards too), very sad. It will be to my last day. ❤From A Nashville Girl ❤

[@rustyicepick8462]

When you're as big as Elvis was, who you can trust becomes a huge issue. Too many people want to bask in the starlight of such a person and won't risk offending. You learn to trust the folks who put their relationship on the line with the truth.

The songs recorded at that studio with those musicians were the best recordings Elvis ever made. Not just the hits that came out of those sessions but every song was a master piece. The fact that Elvis never returned to that studio was a damn shame. Parker was a disgrace who didn't deserve to have such a gifted artist under his thumb.

[@danc3693]

J P Yes, Parker was a disgrace - and I’m tired of hearing about it. You know what’s a bigger disgrace? Elvis keeping The Colonel on as his manager for his entire career. Elvis was an adult man and he chose The Colonel. Plenty of successful artists know when they need to change managers. Successful artists surround themselves with people who are good for their creative lives; not a bunch of overgrown teenage men engaging in hijinks with the boss. Elvis made his choices and as big a fan as I am, I recognize Elvis was a troubled guy from a tough upbringing subjected to a lot of pressure he really couldn’t handle well.

[@JP-dw1fp]

@@danc3693 I agree. I believe Elvis simply didn't like confrontation and didn't want to be bothered with the business side of his career. He should have axed Parker and had Priscilla take over as his manager. Just look what she did with Graceland. Ah but all the could ah's and should of's can't change a thing. He's gone and there will never be another like him.

@@kennethcurtis1856 Well if that's was really the case, wouldn't Elvis have asked why he stopped getting songs from Lieber and Stoller, his biggest hit song writers?
