Elvis gave more than 1100 concert performances in his career & 1958-1960 he was in the military & from 1960 to mid-1969 he was making movies so you have to discount those years altogether. During his movie years, Elvis not only did the movies but also recorded all of the movies' sound tracks as well as other music. Elvis was 'go go go' from the time he started singing professionally until his tragic early death in 1977. My favorite part of the whole segment is when Elvis looked out the window, saw fans waving to him & waved back as he was talking to the guys in the vehicle. That was Elvis, always showing appreciation to his fans.

That break-up of years would've been my approach to telling Elvis' life story in film. In my opinion, Baz Luhrman missed a huge opportunity to do 3 biopics using the same actor to play every role. Birth, blowing up, death of mother, and going to the Army, putting his career on hold would've been my first choice. 60 to 68, culminating with the 68 Comeback, #2. The 3rd and final, from then until death. Elvis deserves this type of tribute as he is the original multimedia superstar and overall biggest entertainment icon of all time. The Beatles AND MJ did what they did because of Elvis, so no one can argue for either of them being the biggest.

It’s a great documentary about Elvis. I remember seeing it so many times in the movie theatre. You should watch it. Called This is Elvis.

Happy Elvis Friday 🎉👑❣️

Yes, I often wonder if he got enough rest and self care to recover from such a hectic, stressful and demanding schedule - and it breaks my heart to think that it may have contributed to his illness and death later on but then I think he was lent to us from Heaven for a while and then taken back. Thanks so much for your sweet reaction.

HE WORKED SO HARD JUST CITY AFTER CITY.

[@dorisbrown5528]

When he was in Canada, the fans tore the stage trying to get to him.

The one and only King

It's lovely to see you back. Thank you for this, and I love your reaction xx

I came up with a "fantasy" concert, I could really imagine myself watching and listening to Elvis and these artists: Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Freddie Mercury, Janis Joplin, James Brown, Michael Jackson, Bob Marley and Elvis Presley (if I could hear Elvis sing some duets with Lisa Marie to). Would you go and watch them perform if you could, or who would you like to see and hear if you could choose anyone???

[@jennyjorgensen9935]

That is a pretty good movie except for the parts where actors are portraying him. There isn't another man like Elvis anywhere. When the real Elvis is on the screen , that is the best! ❤❤❤

[@dorisbrown5528]

HE COULD BE AT HOME AND HE HAD CLOSED CIRCUIT. HE WOULD GO DOWN TO THE GATE TO AND TALK TO HIS FANS, SIGNS AUTOGRAPHS.

The guy narrating is not Elvis. But he was used in certain parts for the Film THIS IS ELVIS 1981.

[@MA-jd4ui]

I don't know why she said nineteen eighty one elvis died in seventy seven, so this is not from nineteen eighty one

[@StacyMoore241]

That video tape was made in 1981. I have that very VHS tape

[@MA-jd4ui]

I'm sorry that videotape was probably made in nineteen eighty one, but he died in 1977

[@rong805]

​@StacyMoore241 There's 2 versions of the opening scene filmed in his room. The first after he checked on Lisa Marie, they show Ginger waking up, going into the bathroom, finding him calling for help. Then Joe Esposito gets the call downstairs, runs upstairs, and goes into the bathroom. Ginger walks out of the bathroom distraught and it cuts to the next scene. Later versions completely leave out the Ginger finding him part.

​@@MA-jd4uiYa, you said that twice. 👍
