[@sherreeadams5176]

As a deputy with Shelby County Sheriff office, It was an honor to have worked his funeral. I didn’t get paid and it was my days off but it didn’t matter, he gave me so much beautiful music that I’ve loved since a giddily little girl. I owe him that. He was the most kind and gentle man I had ever met (several times). I’m in one of the videos

[@danielbelen007]

What a wonderful comment....We still miss Elvis so much, my greetings and respects from Argentina.

[@jjbud3124]

Everyone always says how kind and gentle he was. You are so lucky to have met him.

[@LM-hb6yn]

Did you notice the two officers who saluted as Elvis went by in the hearse? I've always wondered if that was protocol or if they did that on their own because of their great love and respect for Elvis. I have always suspected the latter was the case but don't know for sure.

[@jjbud3124]

@@LM-hb6yn Since they were police, they were accustomed to saluting fellow officers to show respect. I'm sure they did the same for Elvis, just to show respect. Saluting is not normal in civilian processions but is in police and military funerals. So, I'm with you. These officers were showing their respect for someone they cared about.

Now you know how we felt when Elvis died. I was stringing a pan of green beans when our neighbor called. She told my mother. We turned on the TV and there was the heart wrenching news of our loss.

[@Lovegun-w4s]

People that were not around when Elvis was alive will never understand the impact he had .....he was one of several that shaped music as we now know it. R.I.P King Elvis 💯💯

Bigger than any presidents funeral. Ever. His funeral lasted three days. On tv every minute. Nothing else played. Every white Cadillac in the country was flown, driven or otherwise made it to Memphis for this funeral. Such a huge deal. I don’t think k any of us slept for three days. It was heart wrenching. He was around so long, #1 for so many years that he just became OURS. He was family to us. We loved him. We prayed for him. We forgave him anything. He belonged to US and he always will. You can’t even imagine. You don’t have the context. Tv was new. Radio was king and this guy broke through. Around the WORLD. He changed the world and we adored him.

[@ElvisRose_]

Elvis, the day after his death received more flowers than anyone else in American history, and he still holds that record. President Jimmy Carter issued a press release to acknowledge the entire country's tragic loss when Elvis died. There were funeral services held all over the world for Elvis for the fans not able to make to Memphis to mourn and every year on the anniversary of his death, millions still gather for an anniversary a candlelight vigil every year. If that doesn't show you how beloved he was and still is, I don't know what else would...

[@toodlescae]

I was watching tv when the news intereupted to announce his death. I started crying hysterically. When Mom came running in all I could do was point at the tv. As soon as she realized what had happened we were both on the floor sobbing while we held each other.

[@Wildlife_SA.]

I live in South Africa. Elvis was huge here. I was 18 when he died. The tv and press coverage of his death continued for days... His songs were played over the radio for weeks. I also remember every detail of the day 16th August 1977, the city newspaper headlines on the sidewalk read: king of rock and roll has died // Elvis is dood // Elvis dies of a heart attack.. It felt to me that I'd lost a family member. Very nice reaction. Thank you. ❤🇿🇦😢

[@carstenwitt1697]

A significant and unforgettable moment in time. Worldwide mourning on a scale. Cried for many weeks. Rip Elvis.

[@kerrypapworth1526]

I am in Australia and was 15 when my idol died. I was asleep when my crying Mum woke me with the news. I stayed in my bed and cried for 2 weeks. I missed 1 week of school and then it was school holidays. I thought I would cry every day for the rest of my life. Elvis impacted us more than any other star ever has - he was beyond great. ❤️

[@zweetvoeten]

My birthday is august 16. The day Elvis died. I remember all my family in shock and nobody really cared about my birthday 😉I forgive all of them.

[@hookedonreactions7649]

I was getting some teeth removed and was high on the gas they give you. Took me a while to believe the news. First report was it hadn’t been confirmed and I figured it was a rumor. Sadly it wasn’t.

[@mrchips4489]

It was similar to when President Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr. & Bobby Kennedy died; for a moment in time the world stood still. Elvis's death was in all of the newspapers, on radio stations and on TV. Elvis's dad, Vernon Presley was kind enough to let thousands of fans inside Graceland to pay their last respects to Elvis. I remember where I was on the day Elvis died; I was in the car with my wife and my 3 year old & 6 month old sons. Pulled the car over into the nearest parking lot & my wife and I both cried. We had grown up on Elvis & he was always so genuine that it felt almost like a family member had died. Still miss him; thank goodness for video & You Tube; and, thank you for your reactions.

[@DonnaShafer-w5i]

I decided to take a break from cooking for memorial day just happened to sit down to watch this. I literally cried my eyes out. It brought back that day for me so strongly that I’m actually typing this to you hysterically crying. Oh my God, do I miss him!

[@leroyleach7581]

.....more flowers were sent to his funeral then ever before to a funeral. the floral associations reported more flowers were shipped via air/land(it stands as a record till this day!).

[@tcbsince73]

Will never forget that day. Numb shock and a lot of tears. Strangers in the street with tears in their eyes but we all understood each other. I had been saving money in a jar so that one day I could fly to America to see him in concert. Finally flew in 1984 but to see his grave.

[@SharonMatthews-h3w]

No one to this day can compare to Elvis in his voice, looks, fashion on and off stage and stage presence. Only one who can sing rock, r&b, country, gospel, ballads, pop and contemporary music

Elvis was unique in every single way - miss him and Lisa so much 👑⚡💛⭐

[@amandarayray9340]

Wow, I'm shaking and crying watching this. It always chokes me up. I wasn't even born when Elvis died, but I heard his music from my earliest memories and I saw him on TV when I was about 5, and I fell in love. He had a profound impact on my life growing up, both through his music and the kind, humble, generous person he was. I just love him. There will never be another like him.

[@CindyCowan-w7z]

You will Never forget where you where when you heard the news.

[@jennyburns787]

Saw Elvis twice in concert, our Mom took my sister and me. I remember where I was when he died, I was 19. His beautiful voice, sweet kind heart and manly persona is unmatched! Those of us who lived when he did are so fortunate. Thank you for sharing and reaction. ❤ Elvis and his pure talent forever!

[@ronaldhol9175]

Some of his fan to this day STILL believe that Elvis didn't die , and that he's still alive in hiding somewjhere , which is ridiculous , of course...But they.believe this because they don't want to let him go. Yes, Elvis doubted very much that he would even be remembered.. If he only knew HOW MUCH he is remembered almost 50 years since his passing, he would be amazed . If this world is still here a thousand years from now , or even ten thousand years , all these future generations to come will know about Elvis and there will still be fans of his worldwide...Though Elvis himself IS gone , his memory will remain . His incredible fame is a form of IMMORTALITY ...R.I.P., Elvis . This world will ALWAYS remember you and miss you !

[@katy5467]

Yes, I remember where I was the day I heard the news Elvis died. We had just come in the house from a day of shopping for school clothes. I go into my bedroom turn on the radio, and as soon as I turn it on the only Am Rock station (because FM was yet to exist) the DJ says, “Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll is dead.” And, my world fell apart as my heart broke. Every day after school I changed my clothes and sat in front of the stereo playing his records for weeks before I could begin going on with fond memories refilling my heart. I never saw him in person but will see him in Heaven.

[@vernhoke7730]

FM existed in 1977, I had an AM/FM/8-track stereo system, a portable AM/FM/8-track player and an AM/FM radio in my car.

[@delladawn1149]

I was 19 and due to see him for the second time in four days. I was in shock. Cried and cried and felt a piece of myself is missing. I couldn’t function for days. Still hurts to this day, always will. 😢 The most flowers that ever were bought were for his funeral. To make manners worse, a few months later they found out there was an attempt to steal his body from the Mausoleum and to be held for ransom. Thank God the people were caught. Elvis and his Mom were moved to his resting place now at the Meditation Garden at Graceland. I paid my respects there in 2001 😢 Along side him are his parents, Grandma, a plaque for his twin and his Grandson Ben his Mom Elvis’ daughter Lisa Marie are across from Elvis 😢 R.I.P. ❤ I believe I will see him again in Heaven ❤

Which movie?

[@Code9]

@@saphireblue3563 Baz Luhrmann's 2022 epic biopic simply titled "ELVIS". It's about 3 hours long and those 3 hours zoom by so quickly you'll be surprised. Austin Butler ate, drank and slept all things Elvis for about 3 years in order to play the role of Elvis. And, man, did he succeed. Deserved an Oscar.

[@carriemichelle322]

Great reaction! I was only 4 years old when Elvis passed. My mom was a HUGE fan. Our house was filled with Elvis stuff. My mom had an Elvis doll in a glass case with a spotlight on top of the fireplace mantel. Our pictures were elsewhere. Lol When Elvis died, I was sent to stay at my grandparents house because my mom was a mess. 😢

[@colmflaherty3963]

Sadly two girls were killed by a car on that day August 16. and fainting due to that very hot weather. And the shock. Elvis was very generous to anybody he felt needed help. he would give Houses, Cars, Jewellery ,Money, and go out of his way to help people just to mention one thing about him.

[@lilpoohbear653]

I was in high school...he was more my mommas generation and I liked Elvis...but this event was beyond HUGE...never forget the loss it was to everyone who loves music...all races, all colors, all beliefs loved Elvis

The day after he died holds the record for the most flowers sold in one day.

[@paulasmith3179]

Elvis died 45 years ago and i remember the moment i heard he was dead. I was driving home from work and i just started crying, I couldn't believe the news. He was bigger than life, I still miss and love him. thank you

[@ceciliamonti8215]

I was stunned and terribly heartbroken the day Elvis died. He will always be a worldwide music legend who shared his many God given blessings with the world. Talent, generosity and kindness. He is an American rags to riches icon who treated all people with respect no matter their ethnicity, religion, or social class. And he loved Jesus. For these reasons and more he is still remembered 70 years after his first record was cut and almost 50 years after his passing. He was an imperfect man whose good deeds far outweighed his personal struggles.

[@peggykunkel9180]

I was a teenager when Elvis died. My grandmother, mother and I were in the living room. My grandmother had the tv on which was unusual for her. The news broke in to deliver the sad news and in our home three generations were in shock and disbelief. How many artists are loved by multiple generations?

[@SandraMarkham-mq7hs]

My husband and I went to Memphis that weekend to take our daughter shopping for fall clothes and take her to Liberty Land. Sunday before going back to Arkansas we stopped at Graceland. We were walking and looking in the yard when the gates started opening up and a Limo pulled in. 3 days later we were parked in a Sonic and and eating with the radio on; and we heard about Elvis; and just dropped our mouths open and looked at each other. Jennifer was only 3 then; but she turned 49 today; and even she remembers that day!💔💔😢😭😭

[@LM-hb6yn]

I was an Elvis fan from age 6 onward. I was 16 on August 16, 1977 and had just gotten off work. I was waiting for my best friend who was still in the building. I walked up the hill of the small driveway that led to the back of the building. An older woman who ran the snack stand on the golf course was coming back at the end of her shift to unload her vehicle. At the bottom of the driveway, she got out of her vehicle and with a smile and a laugh yelled up to me. I couldn't make out what she'd said and yelled what?. That's when I heard Elvis had died. I'll never forget her laughing about it and never liked her after that. She knew I was an Elvis fan and seemed to think it was funny that he'd died. I would have been furious if I was not in shock, which was quickly followed by intense grief. I had been raised to never cry, especially in front of people, and hadn't cried at all in about eight years. But in that moment I began to cry and could not stop. I made my way to a semi hidden spot and was sobbing uncontrollably by the time my friend found me. I was crying so hard that I couldn't even speak to tell him why. He was beside himself, having never seen me cry before. I cried a lot that day and for many days/weeks afterwards. The news coverage about Elvis seemed to go on for at least a week. Radio stations played Elvis music and television stations played Elvis movies non stop for weeks after his death. Most entertainers get a day, maybe a few days and a very few get maybe a week of coverage. I'd never witnessed anything like it for any other entertainer/singer before or since. The world stopped the day Elvis died.

[@glennallen239]

I was 13 Years old in 1977 when Elvis passed away. It was a sad day.

[@divindave6117]

man I remember that day and when the news came on the radio. I was 20 and grew up listening and watching Elvis. Every radio station in town played Elvis songs and they had "call ins" from the local people to express their sorrow on the radio. This went on for a few days, all day long until they went off the air at midnight. When I went home that afternoon, my Mama was still crying. My mama LOVED that man, and so do I. I have lots of memories of listening to his records and watching his movies on our 19 inch black and white TV. Whenever a Elvis song came on the radio, my daddy would always say that Elvis was the only Rock and Roll our radio knew how to play. The king, the best, the this or that whatever you want to call him, he just defies description of how he affected people. He surely had the ability to send everyone into a tizzy. And by golly, he's still doing it all these decades later....

[@leroyleach7581]

..........also, I remember where I was the day he died: I was in dispatching at the Memphis Fire Dept's fire alarm office. the guy working the phones with me got a call from Graceland(I believe early afternoon)requesting an ambulance STAT! .....within an hour of the official announcement we were getting calls(for particulars)from around the world!

[@dan27ep]

There will never be another entertainer that had this kind of emotion shown at his passing.

[@tammyjackson3113]

I was 18 yo living in Memphis and the whole city shut down. We cried in disbelieve but I still blame Dr. Nick.

[@emerald1805]

Dr Nick was a scapegoat for a lot of people. Pushing the narrative that Elvis was abusing drugs - to cover up for themselves. It has been proven in the years since, that Elvis had very serious health reasons for all the medicine he was prescribed. Also, prescriptions were ordered in advance of long tours (in the states where his doctors had licenses to practice) to be carried on tour - for the entire group of musicians, orchestra and singers. I was in the music business then. That’s how it was done in those days.

[@Axeman517]

@@emerald1805besides, if Dr Nick said no to Elvis, he’d go to LA or Vegas to another doctor who’d say yes. Dr Nick did the best he could under the circumstances.

[@anjoleeeickhoff6800]

@@tammyjackson3113 I blame Elvis for making those bad choices, he did not need all that medication. I also blame Dr. Nick and any other doctor who gave him all that medication. They broke their oath of office. They may have warned Elvis about taking so much or mixing them but in the end they kept giving them to him knowing it wasn’t good for him and the reason they did was because he paid them a lot of money and they were living in the lap of luxury and in the limelight because of who Elvis was, they got to be mini famous just for being part of Elvis group and they didn’t want all that to end so they compromised their principles and integrity to keep their cushy lifestyle that they had become accustomed to and wanted to keep at the expense of Elvis health. And the excuse that Elvis could just get some other doctor to give him the medicine is just that an excuse. Doesn’t matter if someone else would have given him the medicine. Dr. Nick still broke the law and broke his doctors motto to do no harm and all in all threw his integrity and morals out the window by giving Elvis the meds. And again he gave them to Elvis because he wanted to stay in his good graces and on his lucrative payroll and that’s what makes it even worse. It wasn’t love for Elvis that made him give him the meds, it was love of self and what Elvis could do for him and that’s one of many reasons Dr. Nick and others were wrong for giving him meds. As much as I love Elvis and hate to say this, in the end Elvis could have said no, should have said no at any time to the meds. He could have checked himself into the hospital for help to get off the meds but he didn’t. I still love Elvis and his music and generosity to others. He was an imperfect person as we all are but it doesn’t give any of us an excuse or pass in culpability when it comes to breaking the law, using meds we know we shouldn’t have or should not be taking and dying because of it. Elvis is to blame for the choices he made and the awkward position he put his friends and Dr. Nick in by asking and demanding they get/give him those meds which he knew was wrong and illegal. With all that being said, I’m a die hard Elvis fan still to this day. He was a talent on so many levels and like no other. We knew it then and know it now that no other entertainer will ever match Elvis on every level. He had God given talent and I cried the day I heard he had died, it was devastating news. Unless you lived then, I don’t think people quite understand what a world presence Elvis had at a time when tv was still fairly new, there was no internet to send his music and image all over the world and yet he was known all over the world which was a feat especially back then. People don’t realize the world mourning him like a President but more so. Everyone knew that someone truly special and unique, never to be duplicated again and loved had died and that’s why it was so devastating and shocking. It was unbelievable to us that Elvis could be dead but yet he was. It was a blow to everyone no matter your age. I was 9 years old at the time he died but I remember it like yesterday. I was at home when it was announced that Elvis had died and I couldn’t believe it but other media was also reporting he had died and I started crying and my mom was just quiet and still like she couldn’t take the news in. The fact that Elvis is still loved and mourned almost 50 years after his death I think speaks volumes as to his huge impact on people and the music industry during his relatively short life. I can’t think of another entertainer/political figure/celebrity that is still just as loved and still mourned 50 years after their death. He was special! RIP Elvis.🎶❤️

Elvis was about 12 years older than me. Having been around during his lifetime, I can say that the movie really doesn't depict how things were or what Elvis was really about. Better to listen to his music and see whatever performances you can find.

[@LM-hb6yn]

But it does reveal the greatest cause of his downfall and misery... Tom Parker (he was never a Colonel). And for that reason I do recommend the movie to those who know nothing about Elvis, even though I didn't like it myself. (Well by the third time I watched it, it grew on me. First time I hated it.)

I was his friend for years up until his death.

Priscilla also owns her part in the ending of their marriage she and i still talk a lot the loss of Lisa broke her. Elvis and i spoke a few times before his death he was the big brother i never had. His death hit me so hard the funeral was so emotional. We both needed a friend and we were that for each other. The memories we made in 10 short years are locked away safe in my heart forever People want to post nasty hurtful things so i will never post any memories again. Awesome reaction prayers and love to you from the one and only Memphis Tn.

[@michaelgibson3011]

What a lot of BS. He had medicinal problems that were no one fault. Your full of BS. He had sleeping problems his whole life, Glaucoma, Fluid problems because of his heart and his heart. This crap that he fell apart and that people cover their own butt is crap. He had problems and probably was never born to grow old. So tell me: did Marty Robins cause his health problems too? Were Glady and Lisa to blame for their health problems too? Cut the BS. Elvis had health issues that were inherited and part of life , he was just young at 42.

[@rawschri]

On holiday in Memphis in 2001 from the UK we met a retired Police Office who was an outrider in the funeral procession, he said his abiding memory was of some of his hard-bitten fellow Officers, lining the route and saluting the coffin, with tears rolling down their cheeks ...

[@anjoleeeickhoff6800]

I was 9 years old and was so sad and cried when Elvis died. I had hoped my parents would take me to see his concert for my 10th birthday which was coming up so it was a devastating blow that I would never see him perform live and that we had lost such a great talent, one we would never see again. Elvis funeral was televised. The road was lined with mourners. Sad sad day and unbelievable he died so young. Felt so sad for Priscilla and Lisa Marie especially as she had lost her daddy who loved her so much.

[@OrangeMonkey2112]

I was watching tv, as a very young kid, and I remembered when this came on. I cried so hard. I didn’t understand death at the time, but the emotions were like nothing I ever knew. I use to sit in front of my mirror imitating his hip and leg movements. I do remember I loved his music. One of my favorite songs, I later found out, was written by Willie Nelson “You Were Always On My Mind.” Not long after Kurt Russel did a movie where he played Elvis. It was a great movie.

[@woverby1963]

I was in high school when he passed and being aware of him but not really knowing much about him it didnt really affect me.

He was visiting his family in Eugene, Oregon. I was getting married and his first cousin was my maid of honor. We went to this beautiful hotel for our honeymoon and we had to wait till he had left our room

I was 11 yrs old and my dad was stationed at Ft Hood, TX. My mom worked for a lady who had been Elvis's landlord when he was there. I can still remember as plain as day the announcement coming on the radio and me screaming and busting into tears. My mom had been outside and came running to find out what was wrong with me and I told her. She couldn't believe it and called the radio station and when told it was true, she fell apart. She absolutely loved and adored him. My dad came home and brought Elvis's newest record and flowers for my mom. He offered to sell some things so she could fly to Memphis for the funeral but she wouldn't let him. But I can remember her and I crying for days. We watched everything they showed on tv, from the specials to all his movies. She collected everything she could about him. Years later daddy took her to Graceland and Tupalo as a surprise. Now she is up in Heaven and I am hoping she gets to see him all she wants.

America stopped for several hours that day.

When Elvis died, I was 13 and on vacation in Tennessee with my parents. We spent that night at a place named Sieverville, Tennessee in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. God cried via one of the wildest thunderstorms I have ever seen.

“American Trilogy” is a three songs in one. The battle Hymn of the Republic, Dixie, and All my Trials.

[@thefuturebecomethepresent]

I remember we're I was. 7 years old heading home with my dad and sister in a 66 chevy impala hearing the announcement over the radio.getting home and my mom was sitting in a chair in the middle of the bedroom bawling, that was the only time I have ever seen her so emotional.

[@erlindamartinez8521]

Guys love love your reaction. I just subscibed today. More Elvis please

[@Metalphysicalpodcast]

The movie is incredible.

[@chris882211]

I remember the day he died. I was in 6th grade. My dad came home from work opened the door, went down on his knee and started singing.. Are you lonesome tonight to my mom. She was sooo mad she left the room and slammed the door. I think they didn't talk for about a week even though my dad said he was sorry for the bad joke..lol

Watch American Trilogy live in Honolulu.

[@thomastimlin1724]

The world's heart stopped beating when Elvis died, and I'm not so sure it ever started beating again....the performance of American Trilogy you just saw still sends chills up and down my spine, the hair stands up on the back of my neck, and the tears still flow. i became am music teacher in part because of ELvis and the Beatles...I'm retired, 68 years old. When I hear this it makes everything else sound like absolute musical bullcrap.

[@jjbud3124]

I remember exactly where I was. I was driving my car on I-95 and I remember the exact place on the highway. I had a premonition a couple of weeks before that he would never live to grow old. I listen to him every day.

[@Snorkebogan]

It was like loosing a familymember..❤

[@james2011cup]

gotta watch the movie bro

[@garytom1935]

I was in Jr high School when I heard he pass, on the radio, was working on a car, total silence after that 😔🎤

[@LorayneMorton]

I was 19 when Elvis died I heard the news of his death on my way to a night class at college. Women cried in the hallways and classes were canceled. I will go to my grave as an Elvis fan

[@OverandOutChief1]

Bill Murray has a cool story of hopping a plane to be there for the funeral here on KZbin.

[@ElisLS]

Triste 😢

[@johnyetter3489]

ELVIS YOU ARE LOVED AND MISSED!!

[@bcojr1074]

I was 18 when he died. I am now 65 and this still hurts my heart and puts tears in my eyes. I did get to see him at Graceland two times but never on stage.

[@danielupsdell2697]

my late mother met him in 1957

[@scsu5085]

-----------------------the movie you really should consider is the 1981 This Is Elvis, documentary, it didn't take liberties the way Austin's Biopic did in 2023. just sayin'

[@Elizabeth-hb9kl]

Pasarán los años y Elvis seguirá reinando por los siglos de los siglos 🥋🎤😏👑🫶😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

[@deanmanfredi6416]

Great reaction!

[@Jeri_C11]

Thank you. 😢😢💔💔 47 years ago today. Unbelievable.

[@moekontze116]

Elvis wi.l be forever loved and never forgotten, same with Princess Diana. Both had everything, but still lonely in the end. The King Elvis and the Queen Diana. Imangine if they were in the same lifetime?

[@RaLeaChaddle-kq9gi]

Exactly. After Elvis is immitators. Michael Jackson imitated Elvis to a T. wore same outfits as Elvis, grabbed his groin as Elvis, did dance moves on his toes as Elvis, wore his hair like Elvis etc..list goes on n on n on n on!
