Elvis telling his fans that Jesus Christ is the King

I'm sure many Elvis fans have heard this story before. But I'm guessing not a lot have heard it from the man himself... Well here it is.
Elvis said this on more than one occasion. According to Tony Brown a former member of Voice in the documentary "He Touched Me - The Gospel Music of Elvis Presley" he stopped a concert in the middle of a song when a large banner was held up and told them "Jesus Christ is the King" well that story is from the same arena this concert is from, but Elvis's comment here is much different and he says this straight after finishing a wild version of Fever and not during a song as the story goes. So I'm guessing it was one of the other two concerts he made at South Bend or Tony's memory is a little bad, either way the point Elvis implies is the same. J.D Sumner also said Elvis did the same thing in Vegas at the conclusion of a concert when a woman gave him a small pillow with a crown on it, unfortunately he didn't give any indication to the date this occurred. The only audio available of the concert in this video is an audience recording (hence: the reason for the poor quality) but I'm sure you all can understand what's been said.

I have heard him say that before, to me he's the king of rock 'n rock not the King like god is...

@TheGloriawilliams Which concert then? I know he said it numerous times but this is the only recording I've actually heard of him saying it.

God bless you Elvis Presley. :-)

It's so good to hear this statement in his own voice. I have heard about this statement many times. What a wonderful soul. So humble when his fans wanted to put him on a throne. He had a God given gift and he used that gift til his last days; first to praise God and secondly to entertain the world.

Like many: Loving him forever..Mary

1051days later,he died.But yet he lives on! Despite the drug problem and/or anything else,+the fact that he was a sinner--he was Redeemed,for he was Saved by Grace through Faith in Christ Jesus.This here was an honest statement of his faith (here, back in '74).Elvis was never afraid to testify to the Living God who saved him byJesus' death on the cross+His resurrection. May I always be as bold as Elvis was,I pray,to share Christ with others by the help of the Holy Spirit. Yes,Elvis is in Heaven!

@faeriebility Truly... no wonder people needs someone who didnt actually doing things... Actually doing things gets you fired or dead...

[faeriebility]

@MrJohnMark21 Most famous people die young because they either work too bloody hard (which typically results in strokes, bad diets, drugs, etc) or from pure misfortune (car crash, assassination, etc).

King Tut: age 18

Alexander the Great: 32

Mozart: 35

Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran, Ritchie Vallens: all under 25

In a way, it's a wonder Elvis did live for as long as he did though, considering the times... granted, 42 is still damn young...

[MrJohnMark21]

The More famous that person is... the more likely they died very fast.... Seriously... think about the greatest leaders and famous person dies much faster.... eg: Alexander The Great... is it 20th 0r 30 years old he died.. so does Elvis here.... hmmm...
