The Stars were in alighnment that day, my Friends, and I was there in the Oval Office to witness the event. In fact while we we there, Nixon asked Elvis to sing a song and Elvis asked everyone there to join in on "Swing Low Sweet Chariot". We all began to sing, but Elvis stopped, dumbfounded, by the pearlescent tones being emmitted from my throat. He told me that I was the greatest singer he had ever heard in his life and that he was honored to have sung with me.
Jerry you new the man, not the legend like most people.That was a great story. But I have one beef for whats going on at Graceland. And it's about the 3 tier admissions. Knowing EP do you think he would approve. I think not ,knowing where he came from. He was for the under privileged wouldn't you agreed. I understand the monies go to maintaining the premises. But for the people who can't afford the platinum tour gets to see less. Come on!
@knowingElvis I like you Knowingelvis. I read your channel and I believe you did know Elvis. And I especially like that you're loyal to your friend. The true greats... I'm thinking of Elvis and JFK... get trashed a lot because there's money in it. Someone said, "The brightest lights attract the most insects!" My hat is off to you for defending the truth about your friend.
Here on YouTube we can see a video where Elvis sings on stage in Las Vegas and when finished singing, he chats and rubs shoulders with many Hollywood movie stars in a private meeting room. They ain't shit compared to the King Of Rock N Roll and they know it. Elvis is a movie star too but he's much much more. Those low-life movie stars came to Las Vegas to see HIM.
elvis met president nixon on 12-21-70. he just alked into the oval office and demanded the fedreal narcotics badge which nixon gave him . only elvis presley could do that. THE KING ALWAYS BEATS THE PRESIDENT. CSTANCHIK
Really...how about the number of black people the British sent to the Americas...when it was still...you guessed it technically Britian. Enjoy your warped false reality friend. maybe you should invest in some education and clean up your mouth. I understand from many of my British friends that there are fine Universities over there that teach the Queen's Elnglish.
Fortunately, When Hitler was planning on all the world speaking German, the USA was willing to storm the beaches at Normandy thus saving Britain and Europe.
Wait, I thought Britain was still mourning it's falling Empire? And how was the Falklands and the Thatcher... and I think the 70's sucked as badly for you economically as it did for us... Remember punk?
Note- this is coming from a 1st Gen Yank with Scottish parents
You need to stay in England mate... your comments show how much you know about this whole thing. Which is nothing. If it was not for America ... the wifes of these bettles would end up with $000.00 . Because that's what would be in their bank accounts ... Zero... Thank God for America...
what a load of bullshit, it is not nixon's fault that united methodists/wilsonian imperialists as jfk were trafficking heroine from indochina inton china and spoiled the relations between china and usa. nixon was a peace loving man while kennedy wanted to fight communism and establish his name as president,there are now words to put his vanity in perspective.
bobbiejhj ...Elvis has the West cousins and the other gold digger fired because he didn't like the "hard" way they handled fans....that'
s why these jackleg...so called friends wrote the book, "Elvis: What Happened?" and brought Elvis into an even deeper depression 2 weeks before he died.
I do not think I ever heard of this meeting with Nixon and Elvis until I saw there was a movie and then I researched to see if it was fake or reality. It is interesting that if you are a celebrity you can meet the president.
well republicans in general, probaly do not like lennon. the peace movement in the sixties and seventies was useless crap. The ussr, china and vietcong were interested in peace and love?
Lennon was a pretty smart guy, but pulling out vietnam was not the best option in my opinion, nixon was against the war, jfk propogated an interventionist foreign policy, nixon cleaned up his shit, getting blamed for the shit.
i ment jerry at grceland the first month they opened graceland to the public oct, 1977 we went in, vester was at the gate, i really was not sure if it was him but the closer i got sue enough he was such a great guy to ask questions to, and he was just standing there beside hs sports car and just starring like he was lost i started talking and think it may have helped him a bit he was just like he had lost his best friend, and he did thanks jerry for the talk we had about elvis, mike
jimmy, clinton and bush i think they all had a liking to the king, but would not admit it, but all of them liked elvis i am sure, i remember when jimmy carter came on tv and made a statement, think it was very nice of him
Bush sr was head of the Jaycees back in the early 70s. he was the one that presented Elvis with a plack and introduced him as one of the 10 most outstanding young men in america.
There is some other great stories about this meeting... and I tell you it was one very-very funny meeting... Like here Jerry Schilling said that they were like in Graceland... Elvis was in charge and president Nixon was like guest...
Elvis liked Kennedy and Johnson as well.He was very upset when JFK died.He liked Jimmy Carter to.
