  In 1970 before his appearance at the Houston Astrodome the Astrodome management informed him that his black backup singers were not welcome, Elvis's response was that if the singers did not come, there would be no show. I don't think that a racist would have insisted that the African American group not only perform with him, but be given the same treatment.

  I hate when people mislead what someones position is.<br>Elvis was a veteran. He supported the Troops and did not believe you speak against their effort while they were serving.<br>My parents felt the same way, even though my Dad served in WWII and hated Wars. My brother was also drafted and was serving at the time. Our troops were not treated well &nbsp;when returning home.<br>People know the real opinions and still lie about it.

  I was never a fan of the Beatles. &nbsp;I was young when Elvis was passed <br>I loved his music because it played guitar from a very young age and my mom played country music and of course she loved Elvis . I loved his music . My Aunti had tickets to his last show and she still has them ! I play his music to this day ! A great man ! There will never be another !

  I have read his autopsy record (through the article of Dr Forest Tennant MD Dr Ph titled “Elvis Presley : head trauma, Autoimmunity, Pain and early death - you can find it on the internet with that title) and it said that it’s an autoimmunity reaction along with the Cushing Disease (which I have myself and that had almost killed me — I survived thanks to our modern day medicine) inducted by a head trauma he had in 67 that killed him. &nbsp;He took medication for he had pain and that’s what I did too. &nbsp;And believe me, he wanted to live ! &nbsp;Also, if you read “Elvis and the Memphis Mafia” they explained that Elvis shot the t.v for Goulet because of a girl back in the 60s that he had got from Elvis at the time when he was making movies. &nbsp;Elvis never forgot. &nbsp;If you can read what I have just suggested you, you will be able to include those facts in your video so as people who will watch it will have truthful facts. &nbsp;We cannot forget that now that all the people who knew him personnaly are dead, we’re having the responsibility to take care of him in front of History for generation to come. &nbsp;It’s a great one if we love him, and I think, as historian and as a human being that listen his music for 40 years now, that we owe it to him, and I think I’m right to think like that. &nbsp;Isn’t it ??? &nbsp;We have to take care of him.

  We all know that Elvis was a very sick man. It’s all so very sad the way Parker treated him. He used Elvis like a slave. Only thought about money to gamble. Elvis’s father didn’t even say anything to Parker. He should have tried to help him. Elvis was such a good hearted man. May he RIP. He will never be forgotten ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  A Professor Of Music At Harvard University said that Elvis was such an Extremely Gifted Vocalist because <br>he had Vocal Registers normally found only in Professionally, Voice Trained, Opera singers. He closed his article by saying that Elvis could hit Hi &apos;&apos;G &apos;&apos; Notes that would make a Baritone Opera Singer turn Green with Envy ! Consider the Following.: Elvis could and did Sing Bass, Baritone, 2nd Tenor and 1st Tenor. Also, Elvis successfully sang Rock N&apos; Roll, Jazz, Country, Gospel, Broadway, Blues, And Rhythm and Blues. And Elvis is the only Performer in the History of Recorded Music that is a Member of Four Music Halls Of Fame ! Rock &apos;n Roll , R &amp; B , Country and Gospel ! No One else In the History of Recording has ever come close to matching the Versatility, the Vocal Range, and the Number of records Sold of Elvis over 2.5 Billion Worldwide !
