1959: Elvis meets Priscilla. HUSHABYE - Jay Black, Vocal

[esd2000]

Jay Black's voice is simply amazing. This guy could probably make any song sound great.

[YZ0007]

Thank you for the video and thank you too to remember Mort Shuman. He was a great, talented singer-songwritter in Europe.

[mamushk9love152]

The pictures are lovelies, what a man. I love him, and I`ll do it until the last day of my life. GOD bless you Elvis where ever you are.

[ipdailykrsct]

this is just beautiful ! Enjoyed reading the bits of history and comments thanks

[elvisp99]

this is beautiful. they are a dream couple

[hrpman]

Lots of comments on the "truth" and "lies" about Elvis. Others couldn't really care less. But a good song, and excellent bio info on Pomus and Shuman, albertdiner.

[anitashelby]

Very Lovely Version Of This Song!!! 5*s Thankyou Angel for sharing & Thankyou albert for posting....Anita..

[BGgunnor]

Great version, rivals The Mystics

Thanks for the post

[prettylatinachic1]

i love Elvis with all my heart but if he did that to me i wouldnt take his shit.

[whirlbirdy]

@prettylatinachic1 dont blame you. dont care how good looking he was.

[epmelodygirl]

AnneMarlene1234 There is solid EVIDENCE Elvis had affairs during his marriage. Yes, there are many false claims made after a star dies, & the LIES about Elvis on the internet including his main bio are sickening. However, there are a few women like Susan Henning 68-69, Kathy Westmoreland spanning 70-77, Barbara Leigh 70-72, & Joyce Bova for which there is solid evidence of plane flights & hotel stays, eyewitness testimony of those PROVEN to be there, & the testimony of the women.themselves.

[epmelodygirl]

Elvis did NOT pay for all of Priscilla's schooling at the "finest schools." He did not pay for any of her schooling because she only moved to Memphis the last few months of her senior yr & went to Catholic school. He also did not move her in at 14 or 16,& he did not "raise" her!

[epmelodygirl]

My information came from Guralnick's "Careless Love" & "Elvis: Day by Day." Priscilla had flown into Memphis with Lisa for Christmas, & people noticed she & Elvis acted more reserved & distant than usual together. There was no fight, but Priscilla just left the day before New Years eve, & Elvis announced the next day "Priscilla had left him...She hadn't told him why; she simply said that she no longer loved him" He spent the day making calls telling everybody. She came out only for the Vegas

[epmelodygirl]

opening sparking public rumors & at the end of the run, returned 2/23/72 & told him about Mike Stone. Confusion comes because she combined this into ONE instance in her book & NEVER shows she told him about Stone.They just have him suspecting & exploding! His reaction is "He forcefully made love to me" in her book, & says "made love" several times. In her movie she makes it into a rape,& that is not shown in her book. She makes her leaving a reaction to this when she had already left him!

[epmelodygirl]

They weren't together 13 yrs. It may have spanned 13 yrs, but you can't count the 3 yrs they were apart from March 1960 to March 1963 except for 4 or 5 wks on 2 visits in 62. They were both dating other people & were NOT together. Elvis went back to Anita Wood & leading lady affairs & Priscilla dated boys in high school. Also, I wouldn't count anything after 12/30/71 because again they were NOT together & supposedly had not been for sometime before that.

[elvisp99]

Spanned 13 years - during between spring '60 and summer '62 they talked on the phone all the time. Cilla stayed up most of the night talking to him. It's not like they had no communication during that period.

Priscilla may not be his best girl, but she looked best with him.

[ana418ful]

@epmelodygirl priscilla dont't say she told him she did not love him any more she said she wanted to grew up,,,,,

[elvisp99]

Their first date was on September 13, 1959. Six months later Elvis left Germany in 1960. Although they spoke on the phone almost every day, they did not see each other again for 2 years in 1962. A year after that she moved in with him in 1963. Another four years later they married in 1967. They separated in 1972 and divorced in 1973.

[epmelodygirl]

Elvis had other gfs in Germany. Priscilla mentions bad girls, but there was also Elizabeth Stafaniak his live in secretary/gf & the Lido girls in Paris. According to Priscilla's movie, Elvis had NOT CALLED in 6 months, but she kept writing asking to visit.She made two 2 wk visits in 62 at age 17. Anita wood moved out between the visits. Priscilla moved to Memphis, a few months after her 2nd 12/62 visit,.in 3/63 Priscilla left Elvis 12/30/71, but the legal separation was a few months later.

[elvisp99]

From what I've read there was just a FIGHT on 12/30/71 and she didn't tell him "I'm leaving you" until 2/23/72, THEN in July/August he filed for legal separation, then divorce on 1/8/73.

Besides, she was with Elvis nearly 13 years...way longer than any other girlfriend/mistress

[AnneMarlene1234]

I know how Elvis was raised and I also know how women make claims of the dead movie/song stars. These claims of infidelity were never made during Elvis' life time but after his death when he could not discount them. I don't believe any of them!!

[AnneMarlene1234]

Elvis paid for all of Priscilla's education, sent her to the finest schools. She just wasn't woman enough to keep him!

[Kildeer154]

Nice video and the voice of the great Jay Black!

[Sazzzzyxxxx]

I agree with ElvisFreak

[jws54]

so nice to hear this again, plus killer pics

[evinrude140hp]

wow,what vocals Jay had,and still has..good video clips too.

[1059arthur]

Love the song and the video, this brings back some sweet memories. D

[rhpositive2002]

Jay Black does a great cover of this old Mystics' song. And no one can cover the Elvis and Priscilla relationship and the way it unfolded.

[doctommy]

Waldo!! You're right, this is definitely a Mystics song. Jay/the Americans have a lot of super songs too.

[GuanRy]

Nice work here. The Beach Boys have a great cover of this one too.

[Waldo99]

Check out the classic original of this song by the Mystics. That one is tops, but this is a close second.

[presleylives]

she was onelucky lady. x

[ebie58]

Wow, where did you get all of these photos? I'd never seen the ones of the young Priscilla. Very enjoyable video.

[sharonkayb]

Wonderful talent Jack Black.

[albertdiner]

It's Jay Black, a very talented pop

vocalist and also yiddish singer.

During the 1960's onward he was the

lead singer of jay and the Americans.

[hazinelle]

How can t say qu'elvis never love priscilla? It is the only qu'elvis seriously love, otherwise why would he became depressed when priscilla had to leave for another

[dgray92237]

because of Lisa marie his young daughter who he did love.

[dgray92237]

elvis didn't have any choice in marrying Priscilla. He was in love with Ann Margret but had word got out Priscilla had been living in his house for years his career would have been ruined. So he married Priscilla but was never in love with her.

[caseyluvs]

Your an idiot. Plain and simple.

[ElvisFreak77]

Finally dgray92237 someone who agrees with me about how Elvis felt about Priscilla, how could you love a woman who's father is blackmailing you to marry?

[dgray92237]

Priscilla moved into Graceland and Elvis was gone making films while Priscilla went to HS & lived in his estate. His relationships were with adult women. He loved Ann Margret BUT the Colonel and Priscilla's parents reminded him he was going to marry Priscilla or see his career ruined so he was forced to marry her. Elvis loved his daughter but he was never in love with priscilla. He was madly in love with Ann margret.

[ElvisFreak77]

I agree dgray, I believe Elvis was in love with Ann Margret, but the apple doesn't fall far from the tree and Priscilla's parents I believe in a way sat him up to marry Priscilla for their own greedy purposes also, no decent parent is going to let a 16 year old girl move to a different country and stay with a rock star if they didn't smell money, as for Ann, he made a visit to her after the divorce and as much told her he wished they could be together, but it could never be by then.

[ElvisFreak77]

It sure is a funny coincidence that Ann Margret married her husband Roger a week after Elvis married Priscilla, that just makes me know there was something still amiss.

[dgray92237]

yes it does. In interviews Ann Margret has said tactfully that she and Elvis were in love & were lovers. She remained a loyal friend to him even to this day. I think some people prefer the fairytale romance idea of Pris & Elvis because it is a romantic fable.

[dgray92237]

yes Priscilla's parents smelled money and you know how that goes. Elvis was naive in thinking Pris could live in his house and he could get away with not marrying her but then he had the idiot the Colonel advising him.

[wildhorsestudios1421]

ElvisFreak,

That's sure a possibility. But consider this. He was in love with both of them It's not out of the realm of possibility. Neither Ann nor Cilla could have ever tamed him. He'd have still been the same person and Ann would not have stood for it nearly as long as Cilla did. Also their two egos and careers would have clashed big time. Very respectable of Ann to never talk badly about him or about their love affair at all though.

[bernelle12345]

And you know this how?

[ana418ful]

@ElvisFreak77 it's impossible, elvis married priscilla because he was in love with her, he was a very special man, he did whatever he wanted , nobody coulde pressed him ...

[zappasaurus]

@ana418ful No? Colonel Parker seemed to do a good job of it. He was a great singer and entertainer ... but it stops there.

[bernelle12345]

wow you need to look up elvis and Priscilla's history.Maybe you will get it then.Elvis had his OWN brain.Nobody made him do anything.From interviews from a lot of his friends he did what he wanted to no matter what others said.LOL

[ElvisFreak77]

Not if it ruined his career bernelle, he had the Colonel breathing down his neck about the marriage and believe me no matter how he felt sometimes, he gave in, case in point his part in some of the movies he did not want to do.

[prettyflash]

There's some photos I've never seen before. Nice video.

[albertdiner]

There's a physical resemblence between the

young Priscilla in 1959 and the 1958 photo

of Gladys Presley ( Elvis' mother). I can see

why Elvis chose her.

[Earline18]

It has been written and Elvis' buddies have said that Elvis had a violent crush on Debra Paget, who was dating Howard Hughes at the time and thought Elvis was a "nice kid" and nothing more. Priscilla resembled Debra Paget. He had a fling with Ann Margret, a Marilyn wannabe, but love? I think not. It bothers me that Elvis' girlfriends report that he complained that he was forced to marry Priscilla. This seems disloyal and unfair. She was 13 when he began their affair, for Goodness Sake!

[epmelodygirl]

Priscilla's birth date is 5/24/45 so she was 14 when she met Elvis 9/59, and they did NOT begin as affair .She visited Elvis's house in Germany, but his father and grandmother were there, and she was returned to her parents each night. Elvis had many other girlfriends into his bed so he didn't need to sleep with any underage ones.Priscilla visited twice in 6/62 and 12/62, and moved to Memphis in 3/63. They both dated others during the 3 yrs apart, and Anita Wood was living at Graceland.

[epmelodygirl]

Yes Elvis did fall in love with Ann Margret. They met 3 months after Priscilla moved in, and he had made promises, but there was no formal commitment. Everyone around Elvis has said they knew it was serious with Ann when he picked her up-something he didn't even do with Priscilla, She has said there was a" force between them they couldn't control." Ann is not a Marilyn wanna be, but is a serious actress and live performer. They dated a year, and Elvis tried to get her back after his divorce.

[elvisp99]

Ann Margaret has been married to her husband since 1967 and its a very solid marriage. There's no way she and Elvis would have lasted if he broke up with Priscilla in 63.

Personally I think Linda Thompson was Elvis' soulmate but Priscilla was his only wife and had his only child, so I respect her and she deserves respect for all her hard work

[epmelodygirl]

Yes Ann married Roger a week after Elvis married in 67, but Elvis did go to her just before he was to announce Priscilla's pregnancy to tell her how happy she had made him & how he still felt about her. He also tried to get her back after his legal separation in 72, but she remained loyal. I don't know if it would have lasted with Ann, but it certainly didn't last with Priscilla. They were BOTH having affairs in 68! I know Priscilla has had her difficulties, but she never had to really work!

[whirlbirdy]

@epmelodygirl ann is a lady. she has been with the same man for years. she is very beautiful. could have her pick.of men if she wonted. she as more than just a pretty face. a brain.

[epmelodygirl]

I would like to add that Elvis had given Anita Wood a promise ring before he left for Germany, and called and wrote her while gone. See Elvis's love letter to Anita on you tube and on line written not long before he left Germany 3/60 where he speaks of a future together. Anita didn't move out of Graceland until 8/6/62 after she overheard Elvis telling his father he was having a hard time deciding between her and Priscilla! See her on my channel at I'll Remember you & Elvis: lost home movies.

[lonlyboy09]

@albertdiner could you please let me know where i can find these two photo`s , tho i believe it was something she said to him or maybe something else i would love to find out, THANKS
