Bill Burr Has An Honest Elvis Conversation with Paul Anka 

Dude looks fantastic!

Aged well

​@@jasonezane50rz, it's called plastic surgery/ and botox.

@@texasgirl6000actually, it's called men age like wine and women age like milk.

@@texasgirl6000 surgery and plastic cant fix a brain though, and he seems pretty sharp for his age

Charlton Heston i wish he was my great uncle

That's what happens when you are a Canadian!

Or just a regular, down-to-earth person, which Paul Anka is. He's smart, intelligent and talented. And it doesn't have to be like an "uncle." Paul Anka's just a regular guy.

@@lindadechiazza2924 Charlton heston was a asshead.....Anka is a real deal

No delusion or plastic surgery

And Sinatra and Bobby Darin. All legends. Amazing

They knew him! Paul is a legend in his own right

@@NickyMetropolis1313I wonder if he preformed withJohnny Tilotson and Ricky Nelson. I can’t seem to find for the life of me anything with them doing a duet.

@evahatfield9477 And never will be.💙

He was a hunka hunka burnin love

@@Johnnylund1 Would you have done better morally? He loved Jesus and was always kind and humble. Unless you can show me where he was arrogant

​@@Johnnylund1. It´s very rare to find someone who really sings that is a composer. You can count on your fingers. Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Pavarotti among others. Regarding his life, you are a complete ignorant about it, it´s very clear.

@@Johnnylund1 where was his blueprint though for him to act the best? It's easier to judge when you see the after math but he did alright for being one of the first rockstars

Read his book it is great

Exactly

Terrible interviewer.

Not REALLY 😅

RCA had the best artists back then

@@mikewhite4560 Of course, not everyone’s gonna like the guy, but it’s clear he was the biggest of deals.

@@benmoore42 NO BLEEP, says a Dude who has Visited GRACELAND, Seen SHAMELESS & marveled at AUSTIN BUTLER'S Elvis Portait.

​​@@mikewhite4560yo mikeblack you got something to say about the Little Boy Collector or the Queen of Crack.

On the other hand, Bill Burr was tongue-tied and inarticulate.

Can't believe how good he looks. I'm sure he's had work done but it looks natural.

I used to cook Paul Anka for him all the time in the 80s

Who'd you cook Paul Anka for?

@@johnwockenfuss2303 ya I was correcting and sent before i looked kind of had that backwards didn't I, ha ha

He's seen, and took part in, a lot of history. Didn't realize he started that for back. Discovering The Beatles in Paris and realizing they were something special. Paul Anka is a special guy.

Elvis had hits throughout the 60s and 70s. When the Beatles had been broken up for 2 years, Elvis sold out Madison Square garden as a solo artist 3 nights in a row. The following year he had the Aloha From Hawaii special. He won grammys in the 60s. He was one of the biggest touring acts of the 70s.

@@NickyMetropolis1313As much as I love Elvis, you can’t knock the Beatles talent.

@@jemmajames6719 Of course not. Arguably the best band ever. But the arguments some of their fans make are silly. Even the arguments from the Beatles themselves are highly immature. Lennon said Elvis died in the army. No John, Elvis voice got better and bigger, he won grammys and had tons of hits after the army. George Harrison said Elvis was wearing a costume with a big cape in NY 1972 and said something like Elvis should have just come out with his old faded jeans like when he did the Louisiana hayride! This coming from a band who's fans said they missed the moptops when the 4 lads were doing psychedelic Sgt Pepper (in costume of course). Paul said Elvis was in his "flakey period" in the 70s. Aloha from Hawaii, Paul. Called by critics "restrained (vocal) perfection. Elvis in the 70s, several albums, dozens of live shows, 2 award winning documentaries. This all while the Beatles called it quits. Beyond that, many criticized Elvis for the Vegas residency meanwhile EVERYONE nowadays does Vegas including Paul and as hard rock as ACDC does too. What Elvis did is only now starting to be appreciated on its artistic merits.

@@jemmajames6719 There is no doubt about the Beatles talent. But it's true that they started out as a 50s cover band (I've seen their songlist at the Beatles museum in Liverpool), and were going nowhere until they were teamed up with a musician of the calibre of George Martin, who did the arrangements for most of their songs.

@@HBD1980 He added things they didn’t know and the polish, but I certainly don’t agree they would have faded into obscurity with their songwriting and performing talent. I’ve never visited the museum not that interested but my kids went as part of the school curriculum! I suppose it’s now part of our cultural heritage. My Dad saw them at the start of their fame in 63 when they had a couple of their first singles hit the charts he camped out all night for tickets then couldn’t hear anything because of the screaming girls!

Takes him 5 minutes to wind up before a question comes out.

allowed him to reply, wow....

I knew the Bob G. story years ago

Elvis never hated the competition. He always said there was room for everyone and I NEVER heard him talk trash about anyone. He didn't like Robert Goulet, who, by the way, was NO competition for Elvis, because R.G. just sang so unemotionally.

Absolutely. Elvis and the Beatles are IT for me. Nothing compares.

​@@yellyman5483elvis has probably the greatest male voice of any solo artist in rock and roll ever. And the beatles are the best band/best pop and rock songwriters ever.

@@Jay-lr3me I agree.

I know, Wow!

Darbyheavey,what the hell are you talking about, you need a history lesson. How can you say there was nothing before Elvis, lets try this That's All Right, Good Rocking Tonight, Let's Play House, Hound Dog, I want you,I need you,I love You, Don't Be Cruel,All Shook Up for starters.

Absolutely, 100%

Yes!! Especially while he can still remember everything so clearly.

He was music man the rest were karaoke

@@anunturipubli7997 LOL, love that comment😊😊😊😊

@@Patracat aint that right?

And he did. HE did every music genre at some point.

@@anunturipubli7997 absolutely!!!!

I agree...he was there for it all and still around in good health. Thats amazing!

Elvis is only entertainer with no peers

In some ways Hank Williams was the precursor of Elvis.

Elvis the best always… no one has, had, and ever will come close to his magnificent performances and beautiful heart! Besides, the time has passed…Elvis did it when there was no rock and roll! He made it. Bill Haley had “rock around the clock” yet when he heard about Elvis, it is said that he turned to his guys and said that they were finished because an astounding young and handsome singer was coming up in Memphis! I am paraphrasing; yet that is the gist of it.

Amen

CAPS LOCK ON off off off ON ON off then ON AGAIN but just FOR TWO WORDS for some reason.

Don't they now get less and less with each time. I think I remember something like that.

@@onpsxmember I hope not, but it wouldn’t surprise me

Do you know how Paul got that gig?

@@TheWhollymoly No, do tell

@@michaelgregory2231 Paul Anka is Jason Bateman's father in law, he was on Jason's podcast called Smartless (with Will Arnnet and Sean Hayes, very funny) he was a guest on there a few weeks back and he talked about writing the Johnny Carson theme song in great detail, plus he talks about how he wrote "I'll do it my way" for Sinatra, he has so many interesting stories from the past, very good story teller.

More details please! :-)

@@matthalpin1981 A birthday party for a very wealthy person.

Who wouldn't be!

En español por favor 🙏 para toda el habla hispana

I also enjoyed his 1962 jazz album (only you lol))too!

You are the only one realizing this and mention it - yes ... me too!!!! He is an terrible interupter and we lost the big story Paul wanted to tell about him and Elvis backstage in Vegas .... brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I hate it so much, of interviewer talking fairly same much time as the star .... brrrrrrr ... and again also many interviewer doing this: --- Some time-witness wants to tell about meeting with Elvis ... and then the inverviewer going into a LOL joke .... brrrrr .... so ignorant ... brrrrr
