In that moment, I watched that skinny boy transform...
00:05
into a superhero.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
00:30
Elvis used to play on this land along with all of the other children that went to Longhorn
00:47
Elementary School. They just used to come over here and have fun and play around. Elvis,
01:05
more than anything else, allowed us, meaning America, to hear a combination of black and
01:12
white music put together in this brand new hybrid form that sounded not just exciting but
01:17
revolutionary. He was in uncharted territories. There was no other entertainer that reached the
01:46
heights that he did as far as changing style, changing music. Elvis was not only the architect
02:08
of rock and roll, but he really defined the way in which we viewed great recording artists. In
02:15
other words, he came out and became a powerful performer. He was someone who exuded sexuality and
02:22
even helped break down some of the segregated aspects of music at the time. I tried to
02:45
show that these two men care for each other, but there was destructive forces with the Colonel's
02:50
desire to see Elvis as more merchandise. Whether you're from Japan, England, Australia, this guy
03:09
brings people from all four corners of the earth to one place to celebrate his life and his music.
03:15
Maybe someday I will write a book about my experiences in the art.
03:45
I understand that you want to become a dramatic actor, is that right? Well, so that's my big
04:11
ambition. It takes a lot of time, a lot of experience, but I hope I'll make it. To me, the
04:28
times I cherished were the times that we were alone. There was always so many people in the
04:35
entourage at all times. We lived and breathed together with the entourage, traveled together,
04:43
ate together, and experienced a lot of things, but the times that we were alone and when he
04:48
really revealed himself. More people saw Elvis in concert than man landing on the moon.
05:05
Keep in mind too, this is most people's outside North America, somewhat first exposure to this
05:11
man called Elvis Presley because it was satellite broadcast. Elvis never performed outside North
05:16
America. He only did two dates outside the US, which were in Canada. He loved touring. He loved
05:28
the tour. Elvis was very, if he didn't have anything to do, he'd get bored. He loved to
05:35
entertain. That was a big part of his life. He was happy after he filmed the movies and his
05:42
contract was over that he could get back on tour again.
