Backup singer Kathy Westmoreland said they were practicing in Vegas and he heard a police officer died and was a Hugh fan so Elvis hopps on a plane and sings at his funeral. He loved people, and no one was more generous. Thanks Ray

[@gbbryangad]

I saw a video of one of his guys talking about this situation. He had regular fans that would show up at his gate by his house. There was an older couple that used to show up a lot. Elvis had noticed that they hadn’t been around in a while. And he knew that the man had been ill. He asked if anybody knew their names or how to get in touch with them and nobody did. One of his guys remembered that they had a personalized license plate. Well long story short, Elvis tracked them down and showed up at their house. The woman was there and explained that her husband died. So Elvis went in and talked to the lady for a bit. They showed a picture of Elvis standing in her living room with her. There were flowers all around from well wishers. I thought his actions, to go to that length for a fan, were incredible. Can you imagine Elvis showing up at your front door!?!

[@julialesleysheppard]

In 1964, Elvis bought the USS Potomac which had previously been known as the “ Floating Whitehouse” used by President Roosevelt. Elvis paid $55,000 for it and then donated it to St Jude’s Children’s Cancer Hospital( that he had helped get built in 1962!) the hospital then sold it for $75,000. Elvis never even claimed such donations as deductions for his taxes.👌💕🕺

Elvis didn't preach his faith and humanity, he lived it. His fans enjoy his music but love the person he was, so humble and generous to so many. He didn't give a lick about keeping the money for himself. ❤ His legacy will never be forgotten. There is a video with JD Sumner when Elvis bought the ranch near Graceland that he told his dad he wanted a pickup truck. Vernon that's silly, he didn't need one. Elvis got mad, called JD and asked him to find 100 pickup trucks and gave them away to farmers in the area. Be made his point. 😊 Elvis is a discipline of his Lord and the best gift his fans can give him is to continue his kindness in the world. He is looking down and honored by all that keep the good work going.❤

[@trishf3576]

Elvis was in the highest tax bracket but never took breaks, found loopholes - not many high earners would do that!!❤

[@bemerson7883]

Elvis was the single highest tax payer in the country for several years

Elvis Presley belonged to nobody, he sounded like nobody, and he gave like nobody. He loved EVERYBODY, regardless, especially his fans...he was always faithful and loving to his beloved fans. And he deserves our utmost love and respect. He was the King of AID - which stands for: Angel-in-disguise 😇💯⚡❤

[@HeavenlyPresley-Tonya]

*THANKS RAY* - Elvis had a HUGE HEART & BEAUTIFUL SOUL - HERE IS ANOTHER STORY TOLD BY LARRY GELLER / ELVIS'S SPIRITUAL ADVISOR / HAIR DRESSER AND FRIEND A story from Larry Geller, from the book Elvis - Behind the Image. "One afternoon in early 1965 I was with Elvis in his bathroom at his home on Purguia Drive in Bel-Air as I was blow drying his hair Billy Smith poked his head into the room and said, “Hey Elvis, they’re here.” Elvis smiled and told me he had a surprise. After I completed my work we walked outside to the car compound with the rest of the guys. A large truck (from then Bill Robertsons motorcycles) was being unloaded with 12 brand-new Harley Davidson bikes 650cc - six blue, six red. Elvis told us it was his gift to us and that we should pick out the one we wanted. After we selected one there was still one bike left. Outside the gates as usual there was a crowd of fans and tourists. There was one boy about 16 standing apart from the others and looking wistfully as we were revving up on our new bikes. Elvis asked me to follow him to the gate, where the boy was leaning. “Those are nice bikes aren’t they?” Well the kid almost freaked out that Elvis spoke to him. Stuttering and trying to get it out, he said, “Yeah, yeah, they sure are.” Elvis asked him if he owned a bike and the boy said no. Elvis laughed and put his arm around the boy and told him, “You do now.” The boy was frozen in his tracks! Elvis said, “Come on man, I mean it and take your bike.” Elvis and I walked away and watched him rev up his new bike. Elvis said to me, “Larry when I saw that look in that kid’s eyes I just had to give him one. When I was his age, we were so poor I was lucky to have shoes.”

One of my favorite stories was told by Jerry Shilling when Elvis went to meet Nixon and he (Elvis) snuck out and got to the airport and everything and neither one of them had any money, and so they had to go through all this trouble just to get $500, well Jerry said the Elvis was over there talking to a soldier from Vietnam at the airport for like 10 minutes and he was thinking oh he’s been there a long time lol so Elvis walks over to Jerry and says where’s the money and of course Jerry’s like what money because he didn’t want to give it up and Elvis says, the $500. So Jerry hands it to him he walks over to the soldier and gives him all the money they had. Everyone should listen to that story it’s on KZbin there’s another Nixon story that the people from the White House also have a video of it is really good too.

Thank you for such a beautiful reaction. Now I can go to sleep! Yes, Elvis set the stage for all of us to follow. One time, I believe it was one of the Memphis Mafia, pulled Elvis away from fans ripping his clothes. Elvis told guard... don’t treat them that way cuz they are the ones who have paid for everything on my back!! That was so Elvis. Clearly, he was younger then and had to be more protected. His daddy said the fans would even scratch him. Vernon( daddy) said the fans meant no harm. They just were so excited. The entire Presley family were humble. Yes, Presley house is still going funded by Elvis enterprise.

[@jamesbrewer4614]

Hi Ray. I've been watching your Elvis videos from the beginning. I've been an Elvis fan since I was a kid in the 70's before he died. I lived in Memphis at that time and was able to ride by his house with my parents then and later drive past it. I really have enjoyed watching you transform into a fan. You can feel it now, and it shows. Elvis was so good in so many ways that even if he had a bad moment, it was so much more outweighed by the unbelievable good. I think that is why I continued being a fan to this day. I have so much collected over the years lol. I appreciate your channel and look forward to the next video! Scotty B

[@WildBilll64]

Elvis did simply because he did, not because he could, i do not believe he overthinked in the old days when he was poor, poor as a church mouse...he just did, never asked for anything but like all of us wanted more...and he had it, got it, but never got to realize or enjoy it...be careful what you wish for.....The word/Name Legend is passed around so easily these days, but Legends are very few and far between... James Brown, Elvis, Tom Jones, Prince, Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, Dean M, Sammy D, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe The Beatles, Freddie Mercury and Queen and many more but today everyone is apparently a legend!!!

I loved Elvis from watching him in the movies growing up. I never heard anything about his great generosity until long after his passing. I do remember every year during the Muscular Dystrophy Telethon, hosted by Jerry Lewis, at some point, they would announce, “Elvis and the Colonel”, have donated $5000. Always looked forward to hearing that.Thanks for sharing!

[@christopherarnold1568]

What a lot of uneducated people dont understand about Elvis is the presely family were poor white trash.... hate to be so blunt, but that is what they were. they lived in many different houses in Tueplo MS ( and Memphis before hitting it big). In Tueplo they lived right by shak rag ( the black part of town) Elvis childhood was spent growing up with the black folk...except he did not see color he only saw people who were poor like them. they were of a strong christian faith and loved singing spirituals ( Vernon actually had a pretty good voice). Elvis mom picked cotton and worked at a cotton(textile) mill in Tueplo MS ( while Vernon the father was in prison for a forged check charge). they were looked down upon by the upper class white communities aka the term ( white trash). Elvis never forgot where he came from, his first love was always gospel music and a generous heart.

[@jennyjorgensen9935]

[@vickikleist2263]

That's correct. This man worked for everything he had. He and Muhammad Ali liked each other but more than that they admired each other. They saw their equal in two completely different arenas but both never stopped, backed down and worked hard to achieve their level of greatness in their fields. When others put them down, laughed or scoffed at them they shook it off and kept going, letting no one tell them they couldn't achieve what they desired. This is why Elvis pointed to him and shouted "you're the greatest" and Ali pointed right back and shouted " you're the greatest." They were both right and recognized themselves in each other. This video is only a very small piece of all he did and gave. It really leaves much out.

Bruce started to become a little famous and he was in Memphis, so he thought I'm gonna visit Elvis. So he went up to Graceland and climbed the wall and knocked at the door, then the security caught him. He told the guard that he wanted to talk to Elvis, but the guard told Bruce that Elvis was in Vegas. Bruce has told this story himself in an interview on TV, so it's a true story !!

Even the "Aloha from Hawaii" concerts were benefit concerts. They hoped to raise $25000 but actually raised $75000! Elvis gave everything, and the world and those around him kept taking until he had nothing left to give. Even now, there are those who still exploit him. Priscilla, who was only married to him for six years before leaving him for another man, has used his name relentlessly to get wealth for years. He was a beautiful man who deserved better.

[@sammy_the_uncool2702]

First of all, Ray, you got a spine made of steel and a heart made of gold. George Cummins, may be rest in peace, said, "Instead of asking yourself why this is happening to you, ask yourself why is this happening for you." You had to climb that mountain to get where you today. What you went through is a part of you. You got to the other side of that mountain and look at where you are. Bravo, sir 👏👏👏👏 Much respect to you and to your wife for helping you every step of the way. Lisa Marie continued her father's legacy of charity with her music as well. Those duets you reacted to? Lisa Marie didn't make a dime off of. She donated all the proceeds to charities that helped families in times of need to get back on their feet. She started her own charity in her father's memory as well that helps people and families with housing assistance, medical expenses, financial assistance and financial education, job training and GED acquirement and college education, etc. Her foundation is now in ten U.S. cities. Too Ray when you go to Graceland you'll see that you'll have the option of donating to any of the charities Elvis once donated to as well as some charities that Lisa Marie supported. As Elvis once said, "I am so lucky to be in a position to give. The ability to give is a gift." When Elvis was still a very young boy, a tornado tore through his hometown of Tupelo. As young as he was, he never forgot it and that's evidenced by Elvis giving a benefit concert in the 1970's to help a town in Alabama that had been severely and adversely affected by a tornado. He donated all the proceeds of that concert to help the families in that town. When Elvis bought his first house on Audubon Drive in Memphis, decades later the neighbors remembered him, even though he only lived on that street for 13 months (before he bought Graceland). Why did they remember him? Because he would play football with the kids, give rides on his motorcycle or in his new Cadillac. And here is a story about Gladys, Elvis's Mom: The neighbors remembered her too. She loved gardening (vegetables mostly) and she loved having people over. Gladys would let Elvis's fans in their home and give them tours, for free. She'd make them sandwiches, bake them cookies, and give them glasses her homemade fresh lemonade. Gladys was also a bit overwhelmed at first of her son's overnight success. She could never could afford to buy curtains before and one neighbor recalled Gladys talking about the vast selection of curtains at Sears, remembering Gladys saying, "Ain't Sears high?" Meaning high class. Gladys thought Sears was high class. Just salt of the earth people, Elvis's parents. He loved the both of his parents but his Mom worried about him particularly. He would call her every day he was on the road and when he could he would send them money to pay whatever bills that needed to be paid. This was in the 1954- 1955 era of his career.

It was brought to Elvis attention in the Memphis newspaper. an elderly black lady didn't have legs and was poor. She rode on a piece of board with wheels on it. As soon as Elvis heard, he found out who the woman was and that day he and a couple of his guys went to buy her a wheelchair. When he got to her house, he went in, talked to her and picked her in his arms and put her in the wheelchair. I know he gave money to the couple also. That's God's works.

Elvis always said that he could never earn enough money to forget how it felt to be dirt poor!!!👌💕🕺

Ray, I think Elvis would have given you a cadillac and a ring 😉

Just FYI...Lets say $2 Million dollars would be $20 Million in todays times, so in 6 weeks, the $ 2 Mill is equivalent of $20 Mil in today's time.

Hello Ray, that's why I named you Raylvis because you understood who Elvis was, apart from being an excellent artist, he was a generous being human and you advocate this generosity because you also have this intelligence of the heart, all those who have been touched by the king can only be good people because the energy of the heart is the same, that's what I think anyway.

1935 on January 8 a huge star was born, but sadly in 1977 on august 16 we lost a great musician, a amazing singer, but we also lost a amazing humanitarian that helped so many people that he did not even know. Today over 46 years after his death, people are still calling Elvis the King of Rock'n'Roll (he said that Chubby Checker was the one that should be called King of Rock'n roll, if any human should), Elvis didn't like that title and he believed that the only King was God and he actually told this to his fans several times, he said: I believe that God is the only true king, sometimes he added Jesus Christ. I think that Elvis is and only the king of Rock'n roll, he is the king of music because he can sing very well in any genre, but what do you think, is he good enough to be called a music king? Elvis was really in my mind, the King of GOSPEL and other music, no one does it better then him, he is best known for making Rock'n roll famous, so he was called The King of Rock'n roll, but he never liked that people called him that, he repeatedly stopped fans who said that he was the king of rock'n roll, telling them: I'm just an entertainer and singer, God is the only true King (sometimes he also said Jesus Christ is the only King)... He also never liked the "so called joke" Elvis the Pelvis, he loved Jokes, but that was for him very hurtful to hear people say, or write. Elvis was born in the poor part of Tupelo Mississippi (in a shotgun house) and it was mainly Afro Americans living there, at the place where Elvis family lived there only lived 3 more white families, the rest was colored people, his family was dirt poor until he became an artist after singing in a mainly colored peoples church during his childhood. Did you know that he had several friends that where Afro Americans, one of his friends where James Brown, yes THAT James Brown (The King of Soul), another artist was B.B King, yes that B.B King... He also was a good friend with Mohamed Ali, yes the GREATEST boxer of all time, he even had a Robe made for him, but it was to much bling on it so Ali wouldn't where it more then one time to a fight. He really admired Martin Luther King very much, Elvis felt that all people are equal, unfortunately he never got to meet him, that would have created to much problems for both of them at that time. He had several medical problems, Glaucoma, (Insomnia) sleeping problems, irritable bowel syndrome, things that affected his real life and made him need medication to function. Yes, he took medicines that today are considered to be called drugs, but at that time doctors prescribed it to him and to ordinary people, they did not know of the problems it could give people (side effects). He never took any so-called street drugs, but unfortunately he did not realize that those medications would be a problem for him, he thought that they where ordinary medicine because his doctor prescribed them to him and to everyone else that needed it. Many out of his relatives died at a relatively young age, so even if he wouldn't have the medication, he might have died at about the same age. He could never be alone and thus himself, at that time the word superstar did not exist, so nothing could prepare him for that kind of life. Did you know that a big group of white people actually smashed his records and wanted to ban his music, just because they called the music he did so called N... music, that is so painful to think that some people actually can think like that, skin color is just color and nothing more, when will people start to realize that? There are some videos of when Elvis joking and messing up, he loved to joke around and pretend that he did not have control, but he had total control, he actually conducted his musicians and back up choirs all the time ! He is the only person to have 2 records gone to sell Gold and 2 to to sell Platinum since he died. Elvis is also in almost every genre of Music Hall of Fame (5 that I'm sure of Rock 'n' Roll, Country, Gospel, Rockabilly and Rhythm and Blues), if Gospel is a genre in Music Hall of fame, then he should be in there to, but no one else is in more then perhaps 2 genres. Not bad for someone who never took a single singing lesson, yes he sang in church so perhaps he learned a little there, right? Something else that people tend to overlook: He always conducts his musicians and backup singers, he never gets credit for being able to doing that. Imagen you are a singer, you have great Musicians, you have great backup singers, no Guest Artists, no Auto tune, no Lip singing and no Fireworks, now all is about your skill, could you handle that pressure? At the time when Elvis started to perform, Auto tune did not exist yet and when it became available, then he still did not use it, he did not need to, he always sang so that you could hear every word that he sang, the Fans always felt that he sang to just you ! That is what Elvis did in over 1600 concerts (during his 20 years as an artist), despite having problems with his health, like his Glaucoma, the headlights must have hurt his eyes like crazy. He sang over 800 songs, I wonder how he could remember them all, he never wrote a song himself, so he had to remember other peoples lyrics, well that is amazing in it self. By the way he had Glaucoma and that must have been difficult being in the headlights all the time, that could be why he sometimes closes his eyes, but also sometimes squinting! This unfortunately made him temporary blind after the shows, that is why they led him of the stage and into his car, that is something that not many people knew about Elvis. Elvis suits was made of 100% Polyester, or 100 cotton (I'm not sure witch one), it was originally a karate suit, it was very light, but it was hot, so it made him sweat a lot, he got some bad press about that, but if you give it all then you will sweat, it should be positive, right? About the deep base voiced JD Sumner (a member of The Stamps Quartet) he is a Basso Profundo, I think it's called that, it is the deepest base singer there is. A video about him helping others, look at this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaOtYpZvqdJgeZI Elvis made a show where all the money went to build the Memorial after Pearl Harbor, he talked to the nations about taking the Polio vaccine, Elvis took the first injection himself, he helped by donating a big amount of money to St Jude hospital, they fight against cancer (especially children with), he gave away loads of jewelry, gave away cars, he even gave away some houses to total strangers. Elvis started an organization that helps people to get out of Homelessness (Presley Charitable Foundation), this organization helps people even now close to 50 years after he passed away. A thing that you perhaps did not know: Elvis ALMOST NEVER did a show OUTSIDE OF USA, yes he did sing a few times in Canada: 4 concerts, 2 times in Toronto, 1 time in Ottawa and 1 time in Vancouver (during the 50:s?). When the Aloha From Hawaii (Live in Honolulu 1973) was showed it had close to 1.5 Billion viewers from around the whole world and 3.7 billion people lived on earth at this time, so it was close to 1/3 of all of the population on the earth that viewed the show, it was the first time a single artist was shown LIVE around the globe. Video of Mohammad Ali speech after Elvis died: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoCbfKSVaLCHr6s I have to say that I loved being at Graceland and seeing his home, first we were at the shotgun house in Tupelo Mississippi where he lived in his early years, he was born there ! You don't have a guide taking you on a tour, you can go all over yourself, but stay outside of the ropes and do not attempt to go upstairs, the outside is huge, so is the house, but you don't realize that from the front of the house. I don't regret for a second that I was there, or that I stood at his grave site and said out loud that this is for the humanitarian Elvis/the person/the man and then I gave him a military salute, the others there just looked at me and asked if I didn't like his music. So I told them that he was clearly one of the best singers and artists ever, but I loved his big heart more, he helped so many people without getting credit for it, he didn't want the credit of helping others, he did it out of love and respect and to me that is what true charity is all about. This PLACE (GRACELAND) should be a protected part of music history and also American history forever, I think that people will keep coming for years and years and years to come ! Elvis did lots of things for America to, he helped in a big way to avoid getting Polio (he took the vaccine in a TV show and that made the interest for taking the vaccine to go up from 0,6 % all the way up to 80 % in 6 months), so in 6 months he got 79.4 % more of the American people take the Polio vaccine and shortly after it was eradicated from USA, he also helped in the fight to defeat Cancer by helping to build up St Jude's children cancer treatment clinic by donating a huge amount of money to them, he also helped to build the Memorial over Pearl Harbor and many other things!

Elvis was a big fan of Jackie Wilson and they became good friends. Elvis found out that Jackie Wilson collapse and was in the hospital in a coma. Elvis paid all his medical bills. Sadly Jackie passed away few weeks later. I read this in a book and if you google it it tells you the the story. There is a interview of Jackie son telling this on you tube.

The amazing thing about Elvis is that still to this day...he brings good people together to this day. When people share a joy.....it brings them together....all over the world. I am 68 years old and I became a fan when I was 6..and still he makes me happy daily. He was a true angel..and sang like one too. Love your channel. I saw Elvis 3 times in concert and it was electrifying...the flash bulbs looked like a battlefield of lights. I appreciate your love for Elvis. Fans like me would always tell people how great he was...but most never checked it out. I am so happy in this time there are more Elvis fans than ever...and they are seeing all they missed. I will keep watching your videos. Thanks so much.

I always loved Ray Charles, and deeply admired him for overcoming his physical limitations by pure, God-given talent. However, as soon as I saw the video on KZbin a few years back of him saying the terrible things he said about Elvis. I lost ALL respect for Ray. I still love hearing his songs, but as far as him as a human being, I have no respect for him whatsoever. Also, as far as Elvis stealing black people's music, that is nonsense. What Elvis did was blend many genres together, which created Rock & Roll. Because Rock & Roll, without the Country, Bluegrass and white Southern Gospel influences, is just Rhythm & Blues. The Elvis detractors always fail to mention how his music was influenced just as much by the music all us white people in the south grew up listening to, just as much if not more, than his influence from black music.

[@sheliahtahaalaoui1035]

You have helped me more than money could or can. I lost my husband 3 years ago. I have MS and have had 9 knee surgeries. I work 10 hours a day standing on my feet. Some nights when I get off at 11 pm, I just cry in pain. I came across your Elvis reactions. You have reminded me how much I also loved Elvis and you brought me back to his music. It has brought me so much happiness. Now, I hum Elvis songs and it gets me through my shift and with a smile.
