I met DJ Fontana once. Very nice man. He even gave me his phone number and offered to help me get into the music business. Very nice man.

[@roccodinosantino1474]

DJ Fontana always gave the best interviews, very informative and very sincere and always had a lot to say

[@donwijeratne9313]

Amazing how 3 people and equipment that could fit in just one car could sound so good and could change music forever. Show how good Elvis was at his guitar too.

[@beautifulinsideout5258]

I read when he was young he knew somehow that he would be good and be great at something but didn't know in what back then. It's really his destiny to be a popular star and known all over the world.

[@davidlucas1421]

D J Fontana was a great guy!

[@elvislennon6795]

I met DJ Twice He's a very nice person ...

Thanks

[@user-ed4ld5bo8h]

Спасибо, очень интересное интерввью.! А особое спасибо за титры на русском! Ждём новостей с нетерпением.

[@StigUlrichsen]

Пожалуйста. Я рад это слышать. Если есть русскоязычные сайты, поделитесь ссылками на мои интервью. :) Я работаю над ними с русскими субтитрами.

[@user-ed4ld5bo8h]

@@StigUlrichsen Много русских очень любят Элвиса и хотели бы больше о нем знать правды, но вся информация даётся на английском. Вот почему ваши материалы ценны для нас. И ещё, я поняла из интервью Фонтаны, что Элвис пел потому что он любил таким образом проводить время или перевод неточный?

[@StigUlrichsen]

@@user-ed4ld5bo8h Я рад это слышать. Я сделаю больше переводов. Правильно, он пел, потому что ему это нравилось.

[@alexsandranoser829]

Some people talking about ,Elvis is still alive

[@patriciamiller8342]

Rip DJ

[@manoelteixeira4936]

Um dos maiores gênios da bateria do seu tempo e mesmo até osdias de hoje. Não era malabarista, tocava com profissionalismo e quando acompanhava Elvis Presley fazia com uma emoção nunca visto na época, se concentrava no tema interpretado por Elvis e Scotty e Bill Black, sem piruetas na bateria, etc. maneco RS Brasil.

[@delorespetree207]

Wish he could of stay with his first band

[@melissaweatherford1109]

Bill slapped a mean Bass . Past away in 1966 in car accident

[@cathyzinck3811]

Love these interviews but the background noise is terrible trying to listen to them talking!

[@StigUlrichsen]

Back then it was filmed backstage. Today I make the interviews in our studio. So the newer ones are better. You can use the subtitles also. Thanks for watching.

[@melissaweatherford1109]

Everyone is forgetting Bill Black. My gosh! Started Scotty, Bill and Elvis. Then came DJ.

[@gracieg7601]

Bill black died early. I think it was even before the 68 special. He wasn’t there at the 68 comback.

[@gracieg7601]

I looked it up.bill black died in 1965. He had a brain tumor.

[@FranciscoA.22033]

Yes, It is true. It Works . I see it here. Ok Stig. So sorry.

[@maniek140370]

Szkoda że nie ma tłumaczenia !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@camillabarclay4049]

I hears Scotty say they had to walk elvis down the road a mile to make him sleep and that he naturally was on a high after each performance and wldnt stoo talking. And that they chose to stay in a different hotel at some events. ? Interesting and i formative. I like how he thinks. Good i terview.

[@FranciscoA.22033]

Hello Stig, I speak here from Brazil. Your program is very good for Elvis Presley fans. DJ Fontana is a legend of Rock.Tell me, when was this intervew? And what year? Are you American? or do you live in América? Look if you had a caption in portuguese, It would be much better. Sorry my English bad. It's From Google.

[@StigUlrichsen]

There is subtitles in Portuguese. Please check and let me know if it works. Interview is from 1998. I am from Denmark (Europe)

[@FranciscoA.22033]

@@StigUlrichsen Wow!..I Love Dinamarca! É um país que tem uma rainha? Wow!..sorry, It's a country that has a queen?

[@FranciscoA.22033]

I saw Stig now. Great intervew. We still wanted him with us, But nothing is Forever. Hugs from Brazil .

Great interview. 10:40 I couldn't quite hear what Tom Jones said about Elvis. I've noticed he tells unpleasant stories about him. I think there was some jealousy there. Just my feeling.

[@kathy73160]

He didn’t say anything bad. Tom and Elvis were close friends. Elvis got a trip to Hawaii from the hotel and could take 8 people. He took Tom

[@gassbaggerwoods5955]

the background noise is terrible and very distracting

[@billunmuth3396]
