Elvis would say about Charlie handing him his water and scarves and singing harmonies and also said on a lot of occasions "he's my friend." So Elvis didn't say just the thing about the water and scarves.

Charlie Hodge was a gifted entertainer, musician, vocalist, and loyal friend to Elvis as well as being a treasured source for Elvis Fans Worldwide.Charlie Hodge was the PRIMARY reason Elvis "survived" after the passing of Gladys on 8 14 1958. The World lost a jewel when Charlie passed away.
Thank you for posting on YouTube.
Take care and may God bless you.

He was one of just a handful of TRUE friends to Elvis along with Joe Esposito, Jerry Schilling and George Klein, the others were just hangers on, who betrayed Elvis in one way or another.

Charlie's closest friend discussed the 'water and scarf" comment Elvis made with George Klein on his show and said that no one gave it any thought at the time; Elvis just said it becase at that moment on the show Charlie was handing him his water and his scarf. You could hear in Elvis's voice that he loved the guy, so most people gave it no thought. Anyone who saw any Elvis DVD's could see Charlie
was a great singer and possibly Elvis's closest friend --- certainly on stage he was.
Charlie had a music legacy apart from Elvis. He sang lead in a nationally recognized group in the 50s, and in the 60s he worked with country star Jimmy Wakely. The man could sing. Perhaps Elvis did him a bit of a disservice by introducing him as the man that fetched his water and handed him his scarves.

That is so true..I was listening to one of my old records yesterday and heard that. I had never really paid any attention to that before. Good point you made here!
