Dive into a Timeless Friendship: Charlie Hodge and His Life with Elvis Presley 🎤 

Whether it was prescription pills or not Elvis was still an addict. If you don’t know that a person can be addicted to prescription pills then you are not very smart. Sadly Elvis couldn’t help himself. They tried to help him but could not. 😢

And if you're a true Elvis fan you know he told lots of lies

Elvis destroyed his health, he did lots of drugs to get high, when you can get hundreds and thousands of pills, you are going to die young, just a fact

Who lied?

@@mashtires1848 I think anyone that spells a lot “alot,” is suspect and cannot be trusted🤪

He was not even close to his "best friend", not even top 5.

RIP Charlie lovely man,

I love to hear Charlie laugh.

Oh, no. I didn’t realized you had joined him.

Talented in his own right as well. We miss you Charlie!

Yeah, it is my opinion that Charlie and Billy Smith were the two in the inner circle who cared most about Elvis.

Yes Charlie and Elvis had a big admiration for each other and a great deal of respect.

Charlie had his own room at each of Elvis’s homes. Decorated especially for him!

Charlie was a good friend that loved Elvis and was talented in his own right. RIP Charlie I know you're in heaven making Elvis laugh like old times!

His harmonies with Elvis on his records were beautiful

Charlie Hodge was lovely, he and Elvis was great together on stage, he is a true friend of Elvis, they having fun together now singing in the choir of heaven.

any one that would give anything to do with Elvis a thumbs down is a straight up a h^le sorry but thats how I feel about it, how dare anyone insult the greatest entertainer, the true KING OF ROCK N ROLL

Yes,I love it,too.Elvis forever 🎶🎤♥️

because Charlie was not telling the truth about Elvis's drug addiction

@@desfletc Oh, you mean, he didn`t repeat all the nasty stuff others have been writing about Elvis without ever knowing him? I think enough people have been spreading personal and intimate things about Elvis. I`m not interested in personal "secrets", especially coming from a friend. I`ve been an Elvis fan for as long as I can remember, and I`ve always been interested in things he wouldn`t have had any problem sharing publically. Everything else is too intimate and doesn`t interest me at all. I can`t stand all his "one-week-lovers", who were prepared to share intimate things about Elvis with millions of people. Taking prescripted drugs is also intimate. Charlie said enough without crossing the line. Elvis didn`t go around telling people what kind of health issues he had, and what drugs he took. He also didn`t discuss his love life in front of a camera. Those who have done it on his behalf were traitors and Charlie wasn`t one of them.

@@lechat8533🙌👍👏🙏

just a big shame he could not have come clean on Elvis's drug addiction

@@desfletc Why should he have "come clean" on somebody else`s business??? I think you should care more about your own backyard and let Elvis rest in peace.

@@lechat8533 👌🏽

@george xmas yes in 84 he donated a ring Elvis gave him chances were five dollars each to win the ring money went to children’s hospital a girl won the ring she let me try it on my wife took a picture of me wearing it I took a picture with Charlie and my wife took one with him he was wearing his red Elvis in concert jacket he took questions for a good hour I personally talked to him for about ten minutes he joked and laughed and what really got to me is when he said I really miss my friend meaning Elvis he also autographed my book he wrote he was a special guy I could see why Elvis liked him

@@barneymiller844 Oh my, how wonderful...

I love inspector Luger! So glad you noticed too and commented!! 🌹

How lucky. What can you tell us about them?

Aww that would have been so cool!

he was his right hand man

We lost Charlie to lung cancer in 2006. He was a heavy chain smoker.

84 folks on tour and EP's payroll. Wow that is pressure.

@@davidhelms1531 What does that mean? Can you be coherent?

The part about bone cancer is definitely not true. He did have terrible colon problems and glaucoma in one eye, and hypertension. No one knows why Charlie said that about cancer, because it was proven to NOT be true (there were medical records and don't forget the autopsy as well).

@Koletti Pireaus I know! That's another lie he told, when he said that Elvis needed all those pills for medical reasons. He was already hooked on amphetamines in the army and took them all his life afterward, to stay "up" and to control his weight. Why lie about it? We love Elvis anyway.

Gassbagger YES ELVIS DID HAVE ALL THOSE things wrong with him. There’s a new book out that tells about Elvis health issues. It’s called DESTINED TO DIE YOUNG. It’s written by a woman that got his medical info and his mom and her family. You should read it if you think Elvis didn’t have those things wrong with him. The book explains the stuff. She got permission to get health issues info of Elvis and his mom and family to do a complete study. She spent time with people in his famiky Etc.

Charlie was told by Dr Nick and when he found out it was false information he retracted don't know why he would say it was it was never found in the autopsy

As well as Lisa and Priscilla too. He was there for all till the end! We love you Charlie Hodge!

Sorry its Charlie I herd the other man said Johnny who Charlie. Said to him what the hell you saying in his language. And went to sit down and as he was talking fell down like oh my god what the hell his saying so funny

I find it ironic and a little more than curious that legions of folks walk around today in 2022, with this goofy, sleepy idea that at the very end, He practically slept in that jumpsuit, and his life was so insular, he was unaware of the era in which he was living. At that point, sadly the eleventh hour, I doubt that Elvis could care less about the jumpsuits, dying his hair pitch black, etc. I would surmise he was ready for a change there toward the end. It’s sad that the general public, even the ones lampooning him, had no earthly idea of the man’s depth, intellect, spiritual prowess, and above all, his authenticity. I’m not talking about walking up to the mic stand, cooly hitting his stance and tearing into ‘See See Rider,’. I’m talking about those in depth interviews….his humanity

Priscilla principalmente, divulgou monte de coisas negativas, pessoais e íntimas de Elvis. Além, de todas as mulheres que tiveram i seu momento de fama com Elvis. Bem como muitos de sua equipe, que perderam a mamata, correram para a imprensa, deram entrevistas e escreveram livros, denegrindo a imagem de Elvis. Muito triste tudo isto. Elvis não merecia ser caçoando por seu excesso de peso, por esquecer as letras das músicas, etc... Ele foi vítima da depressão, da solidão, do medo, da insegurança, tudo por conta da depressão. Só mesmo quem tem depressão sabe e entende como ele ficou com sequelas e limitado. Os remédios para depressão engordam muito, deixa a pessoa com as pálpebras inchadas, gera crises de ansiedade que faz ter mais fome, gera crise de pânico, insônia, perda da autoestima, etc... TUDO que Elvis precisava era que todos que estavam ao seu lado, sendo bem pagos para cuidarem dele, que realmente o fizessem por amor a Elvis. Mas não se importaram em vê-lo morrendo aos poucos. Inclusive o seu próprio pai, falou para fazerem o que fosse preciso para reanimá-lo com injeções para que pudesse subir ao palco. Vernon deveria ter enfrentado o coronel pelo excesso de shows. Elvis estava com dificuldade para respirar. Ginger também, agora se posa de boa moça. Ela deveria tê&lo acompanhado ao banheiro, ou pelo menos ficasse acordada até que ele saísse do banheiro. Se ela estivesse acordada, teria ouvido ele cair no banheiro, e tê-lo socorrido com toda a equipe. Mas não, ela preferiu dormir. Quem sabe, teria dado tempo de salvar o nosso querido e amado Elvis. Priscilla teve grande culpa nisto. Elvis teve que pagar pensão milionária a ela, mais tantas outras exigências, que ela fez sem dó. Justo no momento que ele estava com dificuldade financeira. Ainda usou e usa o sobrenome de Elvis, para estar na mídia e ganhar dinheiro com isto. Se eu fosse Elvis não teria deixado ela usar Presley depois do divórcio. Enfim, TUDO que Elvis precisava era de alguém que literalmente segurasse firme em suas mãos e o ajudasse a prosseguir a sua linda jornada, como uma mãe faz com um filho. Ela não teve compaixão por ele, por tudo que Elvis fez e deu para ela. Se não fosse por ele, Priscilla não seria famosa. Não consigo entender como os pais de Priscilla permitiram que a filha com 14 anos de idade, fosse embora, morar em outro pais com Elvis. Acredito eu, que se Elvis não fosse famoso, os pais não iriam deixá-la ir. Nem mesmo Priscilla faria isto. Todos sanguessugas.....

Actuslly Devin I agree Charlie was great and true blue friend buthe fid write a book just after everyone elses .

@@debsmith1956 doesn't almost everyone put a book under their belt ...just for good measure.? You know on CNN the talking heads host always prefer to have "specialists" on their usually groups of 3 to 4 n they all get introduced as so n so who just published a book and a little"plug" to augment their status LOL

@@chairlesnicol672 your right everyone wrote a book....

I don't want that ex-wife of his to be there at graceland

Debra. Elvis changed the the Words all the time to that song. Going back to at least 1971. He did it to get laughs from the audience. He was Not high in the Elvis In Concert from 1977!

That recording actually came from 1969

IDEM!!!

He may have. We do not know. If he did they hid it.

@@shebamaree9026 No way why would they hide something like that there would be no reason at all.

Elvis would never want us to see him become a cabbage that’s probably why. I don’t see why Charlie would lie, see people want to believe the drug addict story. My grandfather had cancer of the colon, had to have a colostomy bag, my dad said he died of shame if nothing else. My dad is also on blood pressure tablets and was told by the doctor that patients on them, never come off them because of how hard it is to stabilise the blood pressure.

Charlie to jedyny prawdziwy przyjaciel Elwisa, mówił o nim prawdę I uczciwie, i szczerze wykonywał swoje obowiązki, dziękuję!!!

Your full of it lady
