Remembering Elvis

[@kathleennorton7913]

A man stands up for others. Elvis was a man.

[@camaflauge]

I grew up in the hip hop era.... Chuck D was a hero to me, I used to think Elvis was a racist, but the deeper I delved.... I saw nothing but a beautiful human being who produced some great music. Anyone who concludes Elvis was a racist is just ignorant. May his memory live on.

[@alanfitzpatrick5142]

Elvis was a wonderful human being who didn't care about race he saw the person not the colour a lot like myself my mother grew up on Michael Jackson I took a lot of stick growing up but It never stopped my passion 4 man's music and talent bottom line is elvis along with Michael were kings ❤❤❤

[@dp797]

Agree...I am a big fan of Elvis and people asked me, why Do I like him saying he was racist. Believe it or not I get upset and told them that he was not. I also told them if they follow up all the great news about him and the people who had been around him who Said he wasn't, then they would have known that he wasn't racist. I loved everything and still do about Elvis.

[@garymoulthrop8668]

It make me happy to know that are some people like yourself who have it in them to not listen to whats being said and to investigate matters and find out the truth. Elvis was a great man who did not see the color of a person. He loved all people and was from childhood influenced by black gospel and r&b Elvis refused to play in texas unless they allowed his black back up singers thats a white man standing up for black women in the 70s sad as it is to say that was unheard of at that time Elvis was and will always be one of a kind, who did not see the color of a person but only the character and decency of the people he met, so to you camouflage I have the utmost respect for you to investigate and find the truth, I wish all of us both black and white would do the same before making judgement. I wish you good luck in all that you do

[@giq8747]

Thats great to hear actually.

[@rubin831]

I was actually in the same boat as you. People telling me this man was a racist, and causing me not to want to listen to his music or being ashamed, but as I do my own digging I’m blasting his music in my car now.

Eu sou do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, e me lembro até hoje quando ele surgiu, na década de 50 como uma bomba atômica detonando tudo e a todos e os daqui reagiram em 1958 com a bossa nova, um bom movimento musical, sem contudo, abalar os efeitos daquela explosão que continuou pelos anos seguintes com inúmeros imitadores de Elvis e aparecimento de novos cantores se inspirando nele onde até hoje são destaques como Roberto e Erasmo Carlos, Jerry Adriani, Simonal, etc e logo apareceu um cantor incrível imitando Elvis na TV que depois seguiu cantando e compondo músicas incríveis, ele morreu há poucos anos atrás, seu nome : Raul Seixas.

[@defaultusername123]

thank you for having nuisance 🙌

[@lika92100]

Elvis did not give black music exposure. Black music, rock and roll in this case, was already well known to young whites and the white power structure. The problem was, like everything else emanating from the black community, the white power structure wanted to blockade, and it had been largely successful in doing so. The whites did not want Black folk to be credited with creating, and God forbid, benefitting economically from anything that could potentially give them some modicum of power. Hence, many talented Black songwriters and performers were not given the opportunity to record. Many black compositions were stolen or bought for pennies and subsequently became hit songs after being given to white performers. Rock and Roll, in it's infancy, was treated exactly the same way Rap music was treated when it first surfaced. R&R was viciously attacked and called n#gg&r music. The president of the white citizens council is on record as saying that if white kids were allowed to listen to that music it would "bring their children down to the level of the n#gg&r." It was only when they found white performers of the genre, like Elvis and Pat Boone, etc, that R&R gained universal appeal. Elvis became especially popular because he was the only white who could mimic the sound and the dance moves of black people. So he approached the semblance of authenticity that the other white performers lacked. The media autonomously promoted him as the King of R&R, a designation they never would have given to a Black performer, no matter his or her success. So every Black person and any honest white person who knows the history of R&R would understand the resentment of Ray Charles and other Black musicians who watched helplessly as they were shut out from the opportunity to fully benefit from their creation.

“It’s just hard to explain it. If you’re not an Elvis fan, no explanation will suffice. If you are an Elvis fan, no explanation is necessary.” I once heard that quote in an Elvis documentary. All my life, I’ve been a huge fan of the King of Rock and Roll. I’m only in my 20s as of writing this, but his music has influenced me greatly. I had people talk negatively about Elvis to me and it made me mad. But it’s never changed my love and respect for the King. I’ve been to Graceland once. I don’t see it as a mere mansion, but as a palace for Elvis and his family. And I never knew the man behind the legend until I saw it: ELVIS, the new Baz Lurhmann movie starring Austin Butler as the King, and Tom Hanks as the wicked Col Tom Parker. I loved every bit of it!!!! It was awesome!!!! Another thing that I respect about Elvis is that, even though people call him the “King,” he never let it go to his head, because he knew that the one true King was Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Son of Man, the greatest human being to have ever walked the Earth.

Elvis first recordings were covers of black music, like hound dog, that's all right . Elvis got his dance moves move from black performers, who got their moves from black church people who tradition of gyrating their bodies to music came from Africa. This evolved into dance moves that black use to entertain ourselves. Hence the black church scene. Elvis combine song and dance of these two elements, put them before a white audience who had never seen anything like it! We influenced Elvis and he influenced the nation, Your Welcome!

…Correction Elvis paved the road for Rock and Roll the blues and gospel for White people. White’s are Racist towards Black music and Black artist, they wouldn’t support great music CREATED by Black people. Elvis opened the soul of Whites letting them know I’m playing Black music and you love me, why not love the creators of this music and stop being so RACIST. The same thing happened when Rap music first started, Whites were racist to this new genre of music… then came Vanilla Ice.

Black innovation white imitation...black music was referred to as nigger music..white man sings it, it's then acceptable. He was a man who was on the right spot at the right time..as for a dancer ..come on he couldn't dance,white women found his gyrations a mystery.

He was another great pioneer who gave his all to his art. Like so many other greats of a phenomenal era in music history...they lived it, breathed it and died for it. Respect 🐐👌❤

[@denisjl100]

i couldn't have said it better. when i was a kid my parents wouldn't let me listen to rhythm and blues. elvis came along and made it ok. he introduce my generation to rock and roll. he allowed blacks to earn a living with their music. he opened doors that were closed before

[@ricardo-vn6ln]

It’s beautiful to see all these black stars talking nice about Elvis,and Elvis paying respect to black people music.

[@Elvisdrunk]

To Elvis this was not black peoples music it was his music also he grew up with it as well.

[@AtlasIsShruggingNow]

A beautiful tribute by some honest people who were gracious enough to speak publicly about their admiration & love for Elvis. I was surprised to hear Little Richard speak so favorably about him as I thought I'd heard that he'd talked the same kind of trash about him that Ray Charles supposedly did but I'm glad that he told it like it was not how others may have wanted it to be. Elvis changed the world for the better.

[@CooManTunes]

Who cares about Ray Charles??? The fuckhead was blind. You can't trust a blind persons opinion of anybody they haven't met personally...especially if it's a critique of Elvis, the peak of human evolution, who never said or did anything but show his kindness and generosity to the world. If he saw how amazing Elvis looked and moved, he wouldn't be such a bitter, ignorant loser. Shame when you find out how stupid somebody is, regardless of their talent, which Ray Charles was limited in. Lost all respect for him as a sensible man. I thought he was more intelligent than that. He was really just a jealous shit-for-brains.

[@AtlasIsShruggingNow]

Sarcasm noted if not appreciated. You're as welcome to hate Elvis as anyone is just as those of us who love him and his music are welcome to do so as well.

[@CooManTunes]

AtlasIsShruggingNow What sarcasm?

[@AtlasIsShruggingNow]

Please. Sell that innocent act to the tourists. Borat was trying that game way before you and Andy Kaufman had already done it 20 years earlier.

Speak English, you waste of life.

[@conniesimon6305]

I definitely remember Elvis! It was in 1956, Miami, Florida, when I met him. I can tell you that all the good things everyone says about him are true. He was polite and spoke softly, genuinely kind and a southern gentleman. Meeting him was one of the highlights of my life.

[@sandybarr684]

You are a lucky lady, i'm so jealous

[@conniesimon6305]

@@sandybarr684 Yes, I feel really blessed to have met him, and I know that I will see him again in Heaven, for he was a Christian.

[@Wildlife_SA.]

@@conniesimon6305 yes we will see Elvis in heaven. 🕊🙏

he will always be The King no matter what

[@dhornjr1]

+TurfGuy I like the stuff he buys, the cars, and all the rings, all the clothes, it's quality, y'know I mean; and I think he's a very religious person, I mean, very, but he's human, I mean, uh, he cusses on stage but that's human, I mean, but he's religious like, he's nice to people, I mean, he's, he's human."

[@allangow4746]

My parents were big Elvis fans, back in my teens me and my friends really didn't appreciate how great Elvis was. Over the years I now know what a huge impact he had and what a genuine person he was regardless of creed or colour.

[@virgiljohnson9880]

POOR people back then all worked together. ELVIS loved music. PERIOD

Yes we do, especially here in 2022!
