It's pretty pathetic, really. Her marriage to Elvis was so short-lived (6 years) when she was quite young, you'd think he would be no more than a small blip in her life, especially since she had to raise her daughter on her own. From what I've heard, even from her, Elvis was kind of a controlling jerk, so I think she probably speaks well about EVERYONE. It's just her manner of communicating. She hasn't had to work or accomplished anything in her entire life, and she's been pretty sheltered. It's easier to remain genteel when you've had no life challenges.

Yes his legacy lives on, but I rarely see where Pricilla acknowledges his legacy stemmed from him getting his inspiration from African American music! Yes she is finally saying this 40 to 50 years later and of course after all those checks have been deposited to the banks! Elvis was just another modern day master of a plantation at his time, he just didn't beat his slaves he just stole their music, style , mannerism, etc. Yes, he bought his black made a house, but that was after she had given all of her youth too him! I'm not saying the man raped , but I will say he pillage and plundered the black musicians who sand soul, jazz, blues and yes even country music! Pricilla pretends he had good black friends, but their are no stories of said black friends visiting Elvis at his house or eating and sleeping at his house. If she had that she would've have produced it now to debunk the stories about him! I'm not saying he was a racist, but he was definately a cultural appropriator. Show me a tape where Elvis performed music for black and white people together. But my grandparents saw him when he was in juke joints and always trying to assimilate with black people , then days later he was on the rode singing original songs they wrote and singing like that was his own music etc. Elvis today would be a moder day Tom Jones or Vanilla Ice!

It amazes me that she doesn't get so much more credit for that fact. Elvis Presley Enterprises, the company she founded, is worth 600 million dollars and Elvis is still one of the highest paid celebrities annually because of that. It was her idea to open Graceland to the public and her daughter gets every cent it brings in. In fact his daughter lives off the 15 percent ownership of Elvis Presley Enterprises versus her trust because pricillia was smart enough to leave 30 percent for herself and her daughter. She was the one who sued his manager and ended up buying him out before she started bringing the money in and that case helped pass a law where entertainers can't be taken advantage of by their managers. Smart woman. However I could be biased because I grew up watching her on Dallas so....

Не надо все переворачивать. Элвис Пресли ещё до брака говорил Присцилле, что не может заниматься сексом с женщиной, которая родила ребёнка. Поэтому у него были измены жене вскоре после родов. Когда Присцилла была на 7 месяце беременности, Элвис сказал жене: "Может нам отдохнуть друг от друга?" Так что Присцилла просто вынуждена была увлечься другим мужчиной. Иначе она просто сидела бы дома и ждала Элвиса. А Элвис развлекался с другими женщинами. Правильно ли сделала Присцилла? Трудно сказать. Это было её решение. Наверное, Элвис хотел, чтобы она была заменой его любимой матери. Жаль, конечно. Если бы она не ушла, он бы ещё пожил. Он умер от одиночества. Он был к ней привязан. А бабы все разбежались.

That talent did Elvis zero favors in the last ten years of his life and was regarded as an overweight singer who was painfully unaware that he lost what made him Elvis Presley and only toured to fund his love for quaaludes, young girls and bacon banana and peanut butter sandwiches.

Elvis Presley I remember August 16, 1977. Forever engraved in my mind, in my soul. I received one of the worst, physically shaking, ass beatings of my pre-teen life. I was walking through the boys room at the back of the house, passing by the television set. It was at eye level. As I glance at it on my right, in passing, a royal blue screen with white letters flashes on, just cuts in. It read ELVIS PRESLEY DIES. I had to read it twice and then a panicked reality set in. I knew my dad and brother were just outside working on the family station wagon, a powder blue, Ford Country Squire. I ran out the back door, yelling loudly that “Elvis Presley died!”. I stood just beyond the back porch, screaming until I heard tools clanging and then feet scrambling towards me. I hurriedly moved back indoors and waited by the television set. I heard feet stomping in full gallop, headed toward the rear entrance of the house. The door swung open and both my dad and oldest brother rushed in and stood next to me, huffing and puffing, breathing very heavily as we all gazed at the television. We waited what seemed an eternity and no breaking news report came on. No mention of Elvis’ passing. It was then that I was taken by surprise. My dad somehow whirled me around and had grabbed my left upper arm with his left hand and was behind me as he delivered a full handed, bone shattering, neck cracking spanking. He was a 6 foot, physically fit man. I was 12 years old. Through the whole soul shattering ordeal, I heard him furiously yell at me never to lie again. I remember crying and yelping like an injured puppy as it was happening. I didn’t understand what had just occurred. When I felt free of his grasp, I ran in desperation and wound up in the bathroom. I locked the door. Crying and screaming, I slumped to the ground and hugged my knees not knowing what to do. Eventually, I heard my mom begging me to come out. All I could say between injured feelings and streaming tears was a loud, angry NO! NO!!! I don’t know how much time passed before I heard my dad’s sheepish, low, guilty voice saying he was sorry as he also lightly knocked on the door. Please unlock the door. The answer remained an emphatic, definite, NO! I was not unlocking the door. Still on the floor, I hugged my knees tighter and eventually fell asleep. I woke up in my bed later that evening, no idea how they retrieved me. I must have passed out in disbelief and dismay. I don’t recall having dinner or anything. Time passed and all eventually was forgiven. My dad was a good, hardworking man. To this day I remember the very moment that the King of Rock n Roll died because my dad was one of his biggest, admiring fans. If an Elvis movie or show rerun was on the tube, we all certainly were watching. Elvis was a big presence in our household, as was everything Disney. In his youth, my father had aspirations of being an entertainer. He sang and played guitar in a quartet in his latter teens and early twenties. He played both the guitar and piano by ear. He usually played the guitar in the evenings and weekends and could be heard singing something. I only learned and realized the extent of my dad’s admiration and fanaticism for Elvis Presley after revisiting my literal, butt hurt, childhood incident as an adult. I understood why we watched every Elvis movie and show when they aired on tv. It was a family night around the big, console TV set in the living room, popcorn and the whole shebanger, just like the annual airing of The Wizard of Oz, a special occasion. I miss family life. I miss my dad and my mom, everyday! And to this day, Elvis still is The King of Rock n Roll, never to be forgotten by my heart and soul, and my butt! JMatt4LIFE 05/27/2022 12:57 pm
