ELVIS WAS THE GREATEST SINGERS OF ALL TIME ... very much missed

@normanmeharry58 13 дней назад

Yes but that's an IMO in the final analysis. The greatest might be yet to come. Depends on criteria you apply to your reasoning. Eg... in the genre of opera.

@samnous2002 Месяц назад

He did not snub Elvis because Elvis was not the one who offered to meet with him. It was just somebody else who offered to arrange a meeting.

@user-wg5cg9yu2k 29 дней назад

you are so right,Elvis never wanted to meet him Elvis would not have liked this arrogant piece of work.he wishes Elvis would have wanted to meet him

@lisowen6003 27 дней назад

Then why are you watching this video about CLIFF😮!! Point of fact, Priscilla met Cliff after Elvis passed and told him that Elvis actually admired Cliff and considered him great competition! She also gave Cliff a personal photo. Go troll somewhere you can get your facts straight!@@user-wg5cg9yu2k

I love Richard's conceit even when talking about the 'competition'!!! One can't argue with his strong melodic voice but his vanity and ego make you want to laugh even while throwing up!

Hey dont cliff talking about elvis overweight its still The same Person anybody who Turns a chance to meet elvis and turn it down are crazy elvis is elvis it does not Matter What weight he is The man was ill he still sang brillant to The end still better Than cliff even today he been Gone 47 years this year still The greatest over The World

@lisowen6003 27 дней назад

Cliff himself has said numerous times that he regretted that decision. I understand what he meant. I absolutely adore Cliff, but I'd rather met him when he was younger, and I prefer to see him when he was younger. Everyone wants to hold onto a certain image of their idol.

@HarryLags Месяц назад

Who cares if Elvis was overweight or not. That's not a proper reason not to see him.. I Don’t believe his answer.. Probably Elvis didn't want to see him! Elvis the King forever!

@lesleywild8706 Месяц назад

If Cliff had gone to see him the journalist who said he could arrange it would have expected to get an interview/picture/something out of it - a good look or a bad look - it would have been a story? They were at the time reporting all the bad bits of his image and might have derided Elvis - Cliff possibly could have had a chance to meet Elvis - the Beatles certainly did!

@bobturnley2787 29 дней назад

By the mid-70's Elvis's star had faded drastically. There were already Elvis impersonators at the time, but when Elvis himself made the news it was always about his weight or his drug use. It wasn't until after he passed away that attention was renewed on his earlier work and on his best songs of his comeback years. The new interest in Elvis brought on a flood of re-releases of his music which has never ended and his star shines as brightly now as it ever did.

@danielmahon2432 20 дней назад

I agree that after the Aloha Special in 1973 and the divorce later that year that you saw a change is Elvis 74,75,76,77, where he was touring the same show basically non stop for the most part. But he was still selling out Lake Tahoe and Las Vegas as well as venues across the United States wherever he performed. Also his chart success was strong but on the pop charts it did diminish following the success of the Aloha from Hawaii album in 1973 where it was number one on multiple charts across the world, he did however continue to see success on the country charts and score number one albums. After turning 40, they did start to mention Elvis weight from 1975 on but the drugs were never widely known about to be reported on until the book Elvis What Happened was released in 1977.

Richards didn't miss a beat to the question about who holds his interest, Elvis. Love Cliff for not being a jealous individual but rather pays homage to the King.

The best ever interesting interview with Cliff Richard. Sounds and speaks very normal. In my opinion he always tried to hard to be nice and sound POSH. Here he is being himself .. nice Always admired his dress sense 👍👍

@user-pn9lb8sr2p 29 дней назад

I like Cliff Richards music but he is not on the same level as ELVIS,,,, and to turn down a meeting with Elvis is pure madness and I find it hard to believe Cliff would have done that,,,, majority of people that met Elvis in his lifetime felt so privileged and said he was a kind respectful and a gentleman,,,, the greatest of them all,,,RIP Elvis 🌺

@lisowen6003 27 дней назад

Of course, that's a matter of your OPINION because you favor Elvis. Point of fact is that Cliff is absolutely on the same level if not surpassed. Do you know anything about about Cliff's career and what he's accomplished? You're completely missing the point on why he didn't meet him then.
