Elvis was on his A-game during those NY concerts in 1972. This presser shows the real Elvis. He also looks like a million dollars too!

[@s.t.3181]

I thought he looked ok, I didn't care for that shaggy hair look he had. He didn't look his best here.

[@mikeivey7167]

@@s.t.3181He was looking very good. His hair style, shaggy as you call it, nothing wrong with it. It was pretty much a style back in the 1970s.

[@patticriss2238]

I loved shorter hair Elvis, but as a retired hairdresser, it’s just hair. He looks more relaxed and happy here than he had for a little while.

[@Elvista]

Elvis Presley deserved to have been knighted....if only he'd gone to see Queen Elizabeth when she sent him an invitation. Doesn't matter, he's Sir King now and always. Stunning, very intelligent, humble, and generous. Long may his name and legacy reign 💯⚡❤

[@Machomannorway]

Humble to the core, despite his image and on-stage persona, never again will we see an entertainer like Elvis.

[@bemerson7883]

It's very commendable that Elvis stated he believed there is room for everyone and to not criticize other performers. Great advice for those who hate him.

[@ella5319]

And this is the New York press, everyone loved Elvis.

[@kimberlyruiz824]

Love everything about him ❤ his answers, his respect towards the reporters, his kind manner, that smile. Parker def hindered Elvis’ creative growth and kept him stagnant enough to lead him to boredom, self destruction with the meds, and exhaustion. Wish we could have saved him, he was special. I was born a few decades too late.

[@susyq810]

I agree Kimberly. It's tragic that Elvis stayed with that " mgr." and didn't break away from such a toxic environment. Well said Kimberly 🌻

[@vickispeed588]

Exactly, you see Parker controlling the end of the interview her was a suffocating tyrant. He’s the one who kept Elvis from touring overseas. I hope that evil man is rotting in hades! Elvis was a sweet soul! The fame eat away at him and sucked the life out of him! But because of it we were blessed to get to see his magnificent talent which will never be matched again!

[@JivinJoe1984]

Jesus saved him, and many believe including me that he didn't die and now is a pastor. Look at the last photo of him on stage then look at the casket photo, not him plus the name is spelt wrong on the grave, it's Aron not Aaron and no America flag was on the casket, it should have been since he's a veteran

[@mikeivey7167]

@@JivinJoe1984nonsense. Elvis passed from this life on 16 Aug 1977. He is NOT the fraud “pastor” Bob Joyce!

[@monasrum4321]

​@@JivinJoe1984Please stop making Elvis fans look like complete idiots. Joyce is 71, born 19 june 1952. Elvis was born in 1935 and would be 88 now if he hadn't died in 1977. There are a lot of impersonators as well that look and sound a bit like Elvis. They are not him.

[@katy5467]

Finding the good songs was also hard because the Colonel required they owned 50% of it.

[@valerielittle2518]

He's so humble...makes him more adorable ❤❤

[@rogermogstad]

Who other performer gets a standing ovation from the Press when they enter a room? Just one KING👑

[@depper]

In 6 YEARS and ONE MONTH from that interview, ELVIS WAS TAKEN FROM US by PARKER and Dr Nick.

[@benjamins.5428]

in interviews and public appearances, Elvis had a natural charm and charisma that endeared him to both fans and the media. Despite his immense fame, he maintained a down-to-earth demeanor in many of his interactions, which contributed to his enduring popularity and positive image. The ability to connect with people extended beyond his musical talent, making him a beloved figure in popular culture.

[@sandralybrand9425]

He was so proud of that Gold belt! Because The International Hotel gave him that for his record breaking crowds when he was playing there.

[@colmflaherty3963]

Imagine how big Elvis would have been if he had toured the world and with today's technology.

[@sopala3952]

infact he praised The Jackson five onstage in Vegas when they were in the audience and told everyone to go see their show as they were fantastic. There’s room for everybody as he said

[@ihatechange]

I heard that Elvis said he would have titled his autobiography "Through My Eyes" if he were to write one. Wouldn't that have been something!!!!

[@lisadee.]

In the blue~ his best color! I've always thought it was the most honoring thing for Elvis to continue to have his Daddy travel with him, even until or after Vernon became ill. He had so much respect for his parents❤ Still being just that humble boy from Tupelo that loved his family.

[@vikkigiles2977]

Love Elvis, he was not a show off and always seemed grateful of all he achieved. You can tell from his body language how humble he was 💙 I wonder if he ever looked in the mirror and realised how hot he was 🤣 Cos he sure is the best looking man to ever walk this planet as far as I concerned 🥵🥵

[@94studios76]

I grew up on old music. Elvis is my personal favorite. I always wanted to be like him and started singing because of him.

[@shirleycarr5387]

I think Elvis looks like his mom yes daddy's smile.

[@remyJbk]

a mix that broke the mold! i came across his cousins' channel (Elvis Fans Matter?) and someone asked Jo and Billy Smith how is it that none of the Smith or Presley men looked anything like him. they spent a bit of time laughing about it, saying much the same as everyone else, that he was so unique and so beautiful, they don't know why... then they quickly chimed in one "Presley" man did favor him: as many others have said including herself, Lisa Marie's son Ben. they never got to meet Benjamin but said he looked just like Elvis. 🤍🤍🤍

[@kathys7295]

Everybody can love Elvis! So true!

[@michaelgarza2619]

His manager was not allowed to leave USA or never be allowed to come back because of his passport or he would be arrested for his crimes. That is the only reason Elvis was never allowed to play outside of the USA. But yet he is still known by the entire world

[@deboisblanc]

The Col was not restricted from traveling, but he was afraid if he did they might find out he was wanted back home.

[@user-gz5xt1lj4t]

Not only did the Colonel keep him in the states where he could control him, but he didn't want anyone or group to offer any opportunities for Elvis. He was afraid of losing the golden goose. Did you know that Elvis got so many offers for serious movie parts and the Colonel secretly turned them down? John Wayne wanted Elvis for "True Grit", Robert Mitchum wanted him for "Thunder Road", famous director Elia Kazan wanted him for "The Rainmaker", and of course as the movie said and Elvis found out because of the media, was Barbara Streisand wanted him for "A Star is Born".. And the worse of all, Queen Elizabeth wanted to meet him, and the Colonel refused her offer. It makes me so man. Thanks Ray for all you do for the legend that is Elvis.

[@sandralybrand9425]

Elvis made lots more money making movies, but music fed jis soul! Those closest to him said he was happiestt when he was singing, whether it was in front of an audience or by himself at home.❤

[@mrsg.9273]

I think you and Elvis would most definitely get along! 😂 You have the same personality and have that caring big heart and a manly type personality. You both make jokes and make people laugh because your smiles are contagious!

[@stacymoore9836]

I hate to correct you but he was born in Tupelo Mississippi and raised in Memphis Tennessee

[@russjohnson2478]

And, what Elvis did by covering writers songs, led to so much success for those artists. Gave them some deserved recognition and opened some doors. Don’t let anyone try to convince anyone that writers didn’t want Elvis to record their material.

[@toodlescae]

This is the year I saw Elvis in concert twice. Once in Kansas before he was in NY for this interview and then later that year in Arizona. I was one of his very young fans since I was 10 turning 11.

[@TheBohemianAngels]

You are so lucky. Congrats.

[@maryrowell1122]

I was 11 the first time I saw him 1957 ironic

[@sopala3952]

He was so tired but still respectful of all the questions…some really inconsequential questions too

[@vickispeed588]

He wasn't from Knoxville, he was born in Tupelo Mississippi an identical twin. He lived in Memphis, Tennessee.

[@TheElvisSpirit]

Artists nowadays could learn from him. He always stayed humble. And never forced his opinion upun anyone..He respected everyone's own opinion. His answer to drafting is a classic.Him saying He's just an entertainer, makes him sommuch more then just that.

[@yourdaywillcome5694]

That's right you never questioned another performer

[@karenfisher4597]

[@sammy_the_uncool2702]

YAY 🙌💃🙌💃🙌💃🙌💃 THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH MISS JENNIFER 💜🌹💜🌹💜🌹💜🌹🙏🙏🙏🙏 ANYONE THAT SAYS YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR STUFF CAN SIT DOWN & BE HUMBLE 😊 (I still remember that comment. You definitely know your stuff, Miss Jennifer. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise). THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH FOR DOING THIS ONE RAY 💙🙏💐💙🙏💐💙🙏💐💙🙏💐 I KNOW THIS WAS A LONG REACTION SO FOR YOU TO SIT DOWN & PUT THE TIME IN IS GREATLY APPRECIATED! I KNEW YOU WOULD LOVE THIS PRESS CONFERENCE! I AM SO GLAD THAT MISS JENNIFER PUT THIS ONE IN AS A DONO REQUEST! Okay so real quick: Elvis was not being sued. The reporter was asking Elvis about a suit filed by Nashville songwriters against certain music publishing firms/ houses in Nashville, Tennessee. No one was however bringing a lawsuit against Elvis's publishing music firms (of which there were a total of 4: Elvis Presley Music, Gladys Music, Whitehaven Music, and Elvis Music; Whitehaven is the neighborhood in Memphis that Graceland is located in; also in 1972 on February 15 a Federal music copyright law was passed; before this the copyrights of music recorded on phonograph were only protected by state laws, not Federal; and in this year of 1972 State Highway 51 was renamed Elvis Presley Boulevard). I hope that answers your question or questions Ray concerning this press conference. I did try providing the full transcript but alas 😥 no go, so I do apologize. I have to say this too: Today is the 69th Anniversary of when Elvis Presley performed for the first, and the last time, at the Grand Ole Opry: * Maestro, a little light on the piano keys, please * To begin: The night was a warm and balmy Nashville, Tennessee one (I know because I looked up the weather records and it was a 70 degrees with no clouds or precipitation) when a 19 year old Elvis Presley played at the Grand Ole Opry just once: Saturday, October 2, 1954. It was about two and a half months after the release of his first single for Sun Records, "That's All Right". Though skeptical that Presley's brand of country would sit well with the Opry, the show's manager, Jim Denny, allowed one song on the 10:15 segment hosted by Hank Snow (a country music artist): the singer's B- side, "Blue Moon Of Kentucky". By all accounts, Presley and his band- Scotty Moore on electric guitar and Bill Black on standup bass- did not electrify the audience. But backstage many folks were kind to Presley and his boys, including Bill Monroe, the writer of "Blue Moon Of Kentucky", who complimented his recording of Monroe's bluegrass country tune. Years later, when asked about Presley's cover, Monroe would remark: "They was powerful checks. Powerful checks." Today Jim Denny, Bill Monroe, Hank Snow, and Elvis Presley are all members of the Country Music Hall Of Fame. - Originally posted by the CMHOF on October 1, 2021 Thank you so very much Ray for picking up on the way Elvis handled some of those questions. According to Kathy Westmoreland, who was the "high soprano" of Elvis's back up singing group and also for a a certain amount of time (though not too long a time I think) Elvis's girlfriend. She said in an old article interview I found that, when asked why Elvis didn't talk about politics on a public platform, something to the effect of, "Elvis was a Christian. He truly believed what the Bible said on God giving Mankind free will. Elvis was very aware of how his opinions might sway others and he didn't want that. He wanted people to go by their own personal opinions on things. Not base their thoughts or votes on what he thought or said." She also went to say that yes, Elvis, did vote. He voted every election. But who he voted for he kept to himself. He didn't broadcast his political views because that his own choice he made. Far be it from me, a little miss nobody to tell anyone how to choose or what choice is best or what to think or how to be. And that is as political as you will ever get me to get here 😝 TCB ⚡ & TLC ❤ & peace ✌& blessings 🙏 to you & yours & to one & all here as well 💕

[@amandarayray9340]

When Elvis said it was hard to find good material, it was about publishing rights. All these singer/songwriters came out in the late 60's/70's and they wanted to keep their own songs and they wouldn't sign publishing rights over to the Colonel, as he demanded. His outdated business practices stifled Elvis creatively in more ways than we'll ever know, and the quality of the songs Elvis was offered in later years was one. Prime example, Elvis wanted to sing Dolly Parton's song 'I Will Always Love You', but the Colonel demanded publishing so she turned him down. She was devastated that Elvis couldn't sing her song, but she made the right decision for her, imagine the royalties she would have missed out on if she had of caved!

Hey Vinny, do you have something you could send to a life-long Elvis Fan, who got to see him once in Houston, TX, but I was so sick I couldn’t even Try to get his autograph! That just broke my heart to be so close but so far away! To make matters worse, all the things I bought were packed away in a box and there was a leak…need I say more? When he died, my mother called me so I wouldn’t hear it on television, I was pregnant and she was afraid I’d get so upset I’d go into early labor. I can’t imagine why you’d want to give your Elvis memorabilia away but if you are, I’d Love to have something anything. I forgot to tell you that I raised my daughter to be a fan also. I’m not sure how we can exchange information, I’m not real familiar with KZbin, but if you think you might want to do it, if you can reply to this comment and I’ll try to figure something out.

Ray -- thanks for reacting to this. Elvis handled those political questions really well, I agree with you. Have you reacted yet to Elvis's 1960 interview when just back from his Army deployment? I would enjoy your reaction to that one. Apologies if you did this already and I somehow missed it!

[@cards1985]

The King nailed it

[@julialesleysheppard]

Such a humble and attentive man, listening carefully to every question asked. Typical press trying to trick him into saying something controversial! Elvis always answers honestly and with consideration. Elvis did actually touch down in Prestwick, Great Britain on his way back from his 2 years in the US Army. It was supposed to be a secret but word got out and he spent that hour meeting fans and signing autographs. IMO Parker organised the Satellite show in Hawaii to pacify Elvis into thinking he was entertaining the world without having to travel. Great reaction as always R’Elvis. Thankyou so much for getting the truth out there about Elvis. 👌💕🕺🙏

[@Kathryne0816]

There is a story I've heard of Elvis making a secret trip to Great Britain, and doing an anonymous whirlwind tour of the country with - I believe - Cliff Richards. Just tourism, no shows. If I remember correctly, Richards only spoke about it recently, but I can't run down the article. I wonder if Elvis' passport is at Graceland, and if it would show such a thing?

[@user-pf4wl3st6n]

Elvis was great at this press conference🫠

[@TheBohemianAngels]

Elvis was so brilliant as far as being around reporters and in the entertainment industry. He knew when someone wanted to start something and/or was trying to get a reaction from him, positive or negative. Overall that fame he had, he was able to stay humble and answer all questions quickly on his feet even when it got to social issues and or his peers. I wish current people in the "entertainment" industry would shut their big traps and just do what they are there to do and not sure their biases and personal political and social views to themselves. Nothing worst than going to a show to enjoy yourself and the "artists" feels they have to share their social beliefs and promote it to the people who paid hard earned money to hear unrelated matters. LOL...Elvis is the King of interviews. Another crown upon his head. You are correct. I had not seen it that way even though i wrote about how brilliant he was. Now, just to add a bit of history during this interview. The question at the time was a very sensitive situation at the time with the Vietnam War into full swing and college students and others protesting our involvement in the war. Also, if we recall, Muhammad Ali had been drafted and he said No that he would not fight someone else's greed in the war and did not go and the U.S. govt began to prosecute him and eventually was not allowed to box. Let's also remember, Elvis and Ali knew and respected each other. and so Elvis was well aware of what choice and the issues Ali was going through or had gone through by this time.

[@remyJbk]

💯 Elvis was the King of interviews. even when a just started out, just a baby! he had a knack for it, he just instinctively knew how to deal with the press. he wouldn't stand to be disrespected yet he would always, always be respectful himself. he is so naturally smart and skilled, also 💯 these press conferences and interviews should be required viewing for any entertainer coming up in the business, and anyone (so many!) who still need to be schooled. this is a Master Class! re Muhammad Ali, yes, good friends who had a lot of respect for each other. from one King to another! @vibereacts05 i sent you an email recently full of Elvis / Ali photos for future tees or just for your enjoyment. i hope you get to see them! ✌🏽

As others said, that was a master class and blueprint on how to endear oneself to others. Primarily because his manner was sincere and not contrived. In another respect, he had more charisma than any 10 movie super stars combined. He could have said practically any damn thing and his popularity wouldn’t have waned. Elvis was just a good dude. That comes through in everything I’ve ever seen him do. From concert footage, rehearsals and press conferences. God dropped the mic when he made Elvis. And he hasn’t picked it up since.

He believed there was room on a stage for all singers. And look how he's been lied on and bashed. It takes people like you and me to correct the lies.

[@LM-hb6yn]

"He's not an actor" A lot of people do not know this, including many fans, but Elvis' dream from the time he was a child was to be a famous movie actor. The only reason he got out of acting was because they wouldn't put him in good movies with good scripts but instead those stupid travelogs where they made him sing increasingly bad songs. It made him very unhappy so he couldn't wait until his contract expired to get away from Hollywood.

@@sopala3952 For sure. But the scripts and songs went downhill. Parker and the studios only cared about making money and the fans only cared about watching him sing on the big screen. So his dream of being a serious actor was never realized.

That's how Elvis got "Suspicious Minds." It was originally released by the author - Mark James. Elvis recorded it the following year - and that was history.

[@kimberlyruiz824]

I read that Elvis was a little skeptical about returning to New York. In the late 50s when he visited NYC for the first time he had a lot of backlash about his performing style and quickly became controversial in the media. He had his reservations about how he would then be accepted in Nyc after 10+years. He was received with open arms at MSG, selling out all his shows there, they even added an extra date.

[@JudyKLC]

Great interview. I recommend you read a book titled "Destined to Die Young" by Sally A. Hoedel. She did a genealogy search of his parents' families. It is very revealing and explains so much about Elvis. There are some difficult truths in there, but it made me love him and respect him even more. He was unique in more ways than just his looks and talent. Keep up the good work. I also enjoy your videos of Eminem. As always, we remember you Elvis, and we love you...still. (Judy C.)

Barbara Streisand contacted Elvis to do the flim "A Star is Born" , Elvis wanted to do the film with her, but his manager said no because top billing would go to Ms Streisand, Elvis was extremely disappointed, but he very rarely went against his manager.

Buongiorno Rey 🌻amo quest uomo sotto ogni punto di vista. Non sopporto chi ne parla male e dico solo che è stata un enorme perdita . Mi manca 😔💔

A few thoughts: "Leon" did a great job piecing this interview together from various sources. That's why some parts have subtitles others don't. This is the closest I've seen to the complete interview. The lawsuit i believe was about child support, the suit was eventually thrown out. Elvis looked and sounded great here, much better than earlier in the year for the "On tour " movie and the really bad "Aloha" interview in nov. of'72. This was the real Elvis. I've often said if Elvis performed in West Germany, the "Iron Curtain" would have fallen 10 years earlier.

When Elvis did do press conferences he answered all questions, he diychange the subject like everyone else. It might not ne the answer they wanted, but alot of their questions were ridiculous or trying to get him to say something that gave them a headline to make him look bad! That one woman was trying her damndest but he wouldn't bite😂😂 She kept on, and I just wanted to throw a shoe at her! I hated the way Parker interrupted him when he was speaking and ended the thing like he did.

Re: publishing & songwriters- Col. Parker was in line with what the very top few of the worlds biggest stars managers or publishers had done decades before. Al Jolson had a very similar publishing deal in the 1910’s. Jolson’s recording contracts still require he is the highest paid artist on his labels to this day. Parker was just following suit with the biggest entertainers before Elvis. He wasn’t an average manager. He didn’t represent an average artist. Very few songwriters turned down a chance with any of those top few artists. Parker’s 50% deal with Elvis didn’t start until the mid 70’s.

If you notices his LP after 1970, they focused primarily on country music. Because there were more songwriters for that genre that appealed to him.

The problem for Elvis getting good rock songs was usually the rights to the song...again a Colonel thing...so people didn't want to give the publishing rights over....ask Dolly Parton about it so I'm sure Elvis missed out on alot of great songs because of the Colonels greed

2024 in Ireland he's still the king

[@delilahmorrow4606]

Elvis envented sex appeal, a voice like an angel, music he owned. All genre's. He could sing & perform yankee doodle & sell it❤

[@ppresley9208]

You said it , Ray ... he was a child all grown up ... that's what made him so endearing ! TCB forever !

[@Jeri_C11]

I’m so glad you saw this. He was supposed to do 3 shows by popular demand, they put a 4th show in at Madison Square Garden. He received top notch reviews even from people he felt would criticize him such as the NYTimes. People who were there went nuts. If you look at videos from their the flashbulbs never ceased. They lit up constantly and he was a smash. Thanks for showing this. 🥰❤️❤️❤️🎸🕺🏻🎸🕺🏻🎤🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️

Elvis could not record and bring out everybody s song in reality. Because colonel parker arranged it so that Elvis" publishing company claimed such an high percentage of the earnings, the good songs did rarely reach him. The construction was so, that they demanded too much royalties. In the sixties Parker even made a deal, so that he recieved 50 percent of all elvis gross income! Some songs made it to Elvis despite all that, because " it s better to get a percentage of a hit song than 100% of nothing"

[@emerald1805]

Actually that kind of publishing deal was common amongst the very top few artists. They were offered great songs, and the writers were happy to have the top artists record their songs, because even small percentages by them made a ton of money and cemented your reputation as a good songwriter. Elvis had offers from all the top managers of that day, but stayed with the Colonel, because he was the best.

[@mollienixx]

She asked him to continue standing up and he said, what’re you doing woman?! Bc on the Ed Sullivan show he was shot from the waist up!!!

[@odellgrimes1375]

Well first of all it's tupelo Mississippi then Memphis Tennessee not Knoxville but I still love your reactions my people live in Knoxville LOL

[@yourdaywillcome5694]

He could be left alone that man would have made big headways of his own music 🎵🎶

[@christianbelena]

Greed was not a factor in EP not playing overseas. Colonel Parker was an illegal US immigrant and was fearful that if he left the country he would not be aloud back in. FACTS
