[@jayeginn5963]

Elvis was the most gorgeous man that ever walked the planet. He was born in a 1 room shack of a house his dad built with money he borrowed from his boss on January 8, 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi. That's how dirt poor they were. He was one half of identical twins; the other boy - Jesse Garon - was stillborn. They were so poor, that Jesse Garon was buried in a shoebox in an unmarked grave. At Graceland they have a plaque with his name on it in his memory. He always got along with the black community and learned a lot about music from his friends of color. Also, according to the one drop rule, Elvis would not be considered white, since he has Cherokee ancestors on both the Smith (his mother) and the Presley (his father) sides of the family. His paternal grandfather was not happy that his two sons, Elvis' father Vernon and his brother Vester, married two sisters, Gladys and Clettes who were known to have Cherokee blood in their family tree. But he was in denial about the Cherokee blood in his own family tree. As a child, Elvis already had many friends in the black community at the time his family was one of 4 "white" families that lived in the predominantly black neighborhood The Hill, just across from Shake Rag. His childhood friend Sam Bell said that some of the (black) kids in that neighborhood had lighter skin than Elvis (kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqOpdKyEgtuNjc0). One of Elvis' bodyguards once said that he thought it was a miracle Elvis got into Humes High School in Memphis, because it was "lily white". Elvis wanted to be more open about his Native ancestry, but his manager "colonel" Tom Parker (real name Andreas van Kuijk) was against it because he was afraid it might cost Elvis fans (and himself money). They did have Elvis play characters in his movies though where he had Native American blood (Flaming Star, G.I. Blues, Stay Away Joe). Once Elvis had his own (apprentice) job learning to be an electrician, he saved up his money and bought his clothes in the same style that many of his friends of color wore. He was called a (forgive me, just stating facts here) "n-lover" and got beaten up several times too. Later, when he was an established star, he would not perform at places where the members of color of his back-up band/orchestra weren't allowed.

[@naomiwarner7117]

Elvis, bought all his clothes at Laskey's on Beal Street, where BB King, Fats Domino, James Brown and, all his colored friends bought theirs, he never bought his clothes anywhere else, all through his life after moving to Memphis when he turned 14!

[@ElvisRose_]

Elvis was a true musical genius. No matter the song, and he gets knocked for doing covers (as if people don't sing covers today) but Elvis could get more out of any song he sang than OG artist. After Paul Simon heard Elvis ' sing Bridge Over Troubled Water, he literally said he wouldn't sing again because Elvis had taken Simon's song to another level not even Simon ever conceived and Elvis was less about lyrics and more about producing and arrangement. He would not stop recording until he got the sound right. That man operated on a level no one else could and his voice is so unique that professional vocalists and musician literally put him in own category of singing. In fact, Elvis was so much about sound that he would purposefully sing off key and to him, music was limitless. Elvis could actually go from big Gospel to a soft ballad, an operatic style, and yodel. Elvis means more to music than people realize because he influenced the biggest names in music and created how every artist now performs.

[@karencarlos3942]

Amen! Even MJ copied some his moves, like going up on his toes. No other singer was moving on stage. They all stood still, even groups. Imo, having back up dancers also came from him. Once he danced then others did, and of course had to keep building on the performance. He may not have written, but noone was at that time. Songs were written by the likes of Mel Torme, Burt Bacharach and Carol King. Many do write today, but Jlo, Celine and Beyonce dont write their own stuff. We have Sia, LP and multiple 'ghost writers' for that, and it doesnt mean theyre less talented... some are writers, singers, musicians. Its also said that Elvis cant be auto tuned. He had 'almost' perfect pitch and could sing 3 1/2 octaves in one note. If a note is off key then Autotune picks the next best one. Autotuning Elvis would make it sound off key. Elvis was a natural producer. He didnt write but he rearranged it to suit his style and in my opinion, he made it better. He had the perfect tone and buttery smooth transition between hooks. I might be wrong, but i think he was the first to 'sample' or aka mash up songs, too. He was just endlessly talented and sometimes all i can do is ache. ❤️‍🩹🕺👑❤️‍🔥

[@ElvisRose_]

@@karencarlos3942 Everyone who makes music or made it after Elvis, has felt the influence of Elvis Presley despite them not knowing, realizing it, or denying it. Yes, I feel he should get credit for back up dancers because of Jailhouse Rock. The titular song number was choreographed by Elvis and the first use of back up dancers (to my knowledge) is the first music video even though that's not what Elvis was doing but that's such a great example and beautiful metaphor for the genius of Elvis. Elvis was doing things no one was doing at the time. He was so far ahead of his times, I argue that Elvis is still ahead of the times & just waiting for us to realize it, so things like Jailhouse Rock laying out a formula, aesthetic, and concept of telling the story of the song with artist and back up dancers all dancing to the song on a set including actors & props telling the song's story is a music video. Elvis just used what he had at the time so it was a scene in a movie but to this day.... that's studied as the first and one of the best. Elvis' skill was on a level that no one else could comprehend.

Don't forget...that was his raw voice..no auto tune back then. Elvis was just so good. His vocals were phenomenal 👏 ✨️ 😍

Elvis was doing a medley of 2 songs. He was cool and all of the guys wanted to be Elvis and the girls loved him. He was so good looking absolutely beautiful!

Some one said that when Elvis was born God was showing off...lol

[@cynthiaburrus3901]

​@@keirgazelle2451 NO blasphemy at all intended... BUT I LOVE THIS! (WE KNOW GOD has a great sense of humor or he wouldn't have given all of us our own)

Not a medley, a mash-up. Maybe the first!

@Susan May I grew up going to the Elvis movies and buying his records as his songs came out on the records years ago. When a singer combined more than one song, that was what we called it back in the 1960's.
