What great stories that I never heard before! Wow, Elvis was such an amazing person who continues to touch our hearts!!🙂❤ Thank you for these very special stories Jay!

Elvis did have that light...Jay was wonderful. I loved the Osmonds...y'all were great !!!!

Thank you again. This is wonderful!

This is awesome. Never knew the connection with the Osmonds and Elvis. I grew up following the Osmonds. And wonder why they were dressing like Elvis.

Thanks again for sharing your video s. Am in England watching them . Thank you again.

That's great first time I've heard about Elvis and the Osmonds nice one 😊xxxxx

I love the videos when you can really feel the respect that they felt for Elvis. Not just to get some air time to boost their dying careers.

I agree. This is awesome. I didn’t know the Osmonds knew Elvis. The fact that he had an effect on their careers Is an amazing story. They were cool and the girls did love them just like Elvis said. Thank you so much for this. I wanted to be there so bad and this is the next best thing. Absolutely loved all your interviews. 💖💫💖💫💖💫

Thank you Jay For taking time to share your stories❤. And you too Cc Rider. Quality is good

All of the Osmonds are so gracious. Thank you. I have met Donny and Alan last year,😊

Had no idea about the Osmonds and Elvis. So touching. You could feel the love in Jays voice. Still learning new things about Elvis. Wow thank you

Great interview Love the stories about Elvis

Wow, awesome. Superstar Elvis helping the Osmonds reach their full potential! I love the part where Elvis told Mrs. Osmond he just wants to talk about Jesus! 😢 how special this man was. I love him even more now. 🤗🙏❤🇿🇦

@ CC Rider, I remember when I was a little girl, my family and I would stop at this store in Stone Mountain GA. and it would have these posters in the window showing who was coming to the Omni in Atlanta GA. next. Sometimes it would be Elvis. But I also remember seeing posters of the Osmond's up in the store window too and I used to think....Hey, they look like Elvis. They have same hair style and the same outfits. This story explains that. It has come full circle. I can still see those posters up in that store window. 😲😃❤ That is so awesome to find out how they come about getting thier look from Elvis after all these years. Great story!! Thank you so much for sharing this video. That made my day. 👍❤❤❤😊

Great story another thing I didn’t know about Elvis and the impact he had on so many people ❤

❤I never realized the connection before this! How awesome that Elvis wanted to speak with their mother!❤

So amazing to hear about Elvis and the Osmonds.

I love this; I love Jay. I'm so glad Jay was able to share and articulate the Osmond's connection with Elvis. I had known of their connection especially with Mother Olive and in how she gave him a bible which he kept! ❤😊

Wow diid not know know elvis had that much influence on the osmond.s especially jay playing in his band and others

Great to see Jay. Thanks

Love this story of the Elvis and Osmonds connection....just wonderful 💯⚡❤

Elvis was golden and he loved everyone. What he did for the Osmond Brothers is an extraordinary example of this. Thank you kindly for sharing something I never knew. ♥ ⚡️TCB

Donny Osmond talked about Elvis calling and speaking to their mother, Olive. Jay sounds younger than he is. They all sound so similar. Always been a Osmond fan, especially Donny. Thanks for sharing. Donny spent many years here in Toronto Canada starring in Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat

This is so amazing! TCB⚡️

Hold the I have a Dream!

Awesome interview with Jay Osmond. I never knew the Osmond brothers knew Elvis. ❤️🙏🙏

This is beautiful! I love this.

Hi thank you for putting this on you tube. Elvis was friends with there mum, from marty in Belfast northern Ireland God bless

What a wonderful connection they forged with Elvis! Not surprised that Elvis reached out to them! 😁❤

Really cool interview! I too thought the Osmonds were copying Elvis, but great to know it was Elvis’s idea!

❤U Jay… ❤Elvia forever

It’s just incredible how many people Elvis had connections with and influence!

I've loved Elvis all my life , and the Osmonds since I was 9! , Lol. I can't believe I never even put that together when I was a kid!, and I had posters of them in those jumpsuits all over my walls! 😊. ( my favorite was my Donny " kiss me poster" though! 😅). Ahh, such sweet memories! And I want to say Amen to Jay and his wife! Praise the Lord 🙏 y'all! ,and yes! , Always listen to that soft voice when you come together in 🙏 prayer. God bless 🙏 , and thank you for the memories ❤.

Thank you, CC Rider, for uploading these videos from Elvis week. Although I am half a world away it's like I've been there in the audience myself. God bless you! ❤👑

It is great to hear that Elvis is my brother in Christ! I'll see him in heaven some day.

THIS IS pretty cool! Back in the 70's I rember the switch. They were always great no matter what they wore but Elvis advice paid off.

As a kid I was a big fan of the Osmond brothers, Donny was my first crush. Elvis had always been a presence in my life and I was always a fan however it's strange in all these years I never knew of the connection between them and Elvis and I never connected the jumpsuits and yet it seems so obvious now.

Great Interview..and I loved The Osmonds too!!

Fantastic interview, he sounds so young ! Really appreciate this guy . 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸

So glad that Elvis had their mother that he could "ring-up" and talk to. It must have meant the world to him. So many wonderful stories about Elvis out there. I knew there was some connection that he had with the Osmonds, but didn't know what it was. Saw them years ago in New Jersey sporting their Elvis inspired jumpsuits. Who knew! They were fabulous. Thanks for the video!

I love these stories. Why are we just hearing some of them now? I did see an Osmond documentary last week and someone did mention that their outfits were fashioned after Elvis' jumpsuits and that Bill Belew designed them. Then boom - it's true.

Okay, Is nobody noticing this but me? I think Elvis needs to have another talk with Jay!

🕺👑❤️‍🔥

Thank you very much for sharing this video it’s great to see very interesting ❤️❤️❤️👍❤️❤️❤️

Love you Osmond family! Congratulations and I´ll be looking forward to see the show! Greetings from Peru!

If I remember right Jay's mom gave Elvis a Mormon bible

Obrigado CC RIDER, por esses vídeos, só gostaria se possível tivesse legenda em português sou do Brasil e não entendo o seu idioma obrigado

I loved everything about this interview, except that I was horrified by the "voice of Elvis" in the Osmond story video. What a bad caricature of Elvis' speaking voice. What a shame! Thank you for allowing us to get to be a part of Elvis Week 2023, with thses great guests.

They looked good in those jumpsuits. I recall The Osmonds preceding the Jackson 5 on television shows; just before and after Donny joined. They were outstandingly talented; having great harmonies and could tap dance (very well). They did strait-laced show biz stuff. But when the J5 hit HARD: The Osmond Brothers became "The Osmonds"; changed their act and got a cross-over "R&B" hit and we called them the obvious "white version of the J5". But that view was only for a number of years and ran its course. The comparisons were inevitable and apparent, both fair and unfair. The Osmonds were, in my retrospect, a more talented group. They were each superior dancers, singers and musicians in equal measure. The Jacksons had SOUL, and of course, incomparable dynamite, Mike. Props, love and respect to both showbiz groups and families. (Great Elvis stories, better than the play. Work on that, Jay. Big fan.)

He personally delivered a wc to a woman who had to scoot around on the floor. Didnt even tell her who he was I dont think. He was always doing wonderful things for people.

I was born & raised in Memphis. Being a young girl in Memphis in the 1960s, and in the 1970s, I was an Osmond Brothers fan & saw them at the Mid-South Coliseum. One year when the Osmonds performed, a fire at the hotel they were staying at caused their costumes to be damaged beyond salvaging. I can't remember the details of what happened next but, if I remember correctly, Elvis or his jumpsuit designer stepped in to save the day & I am pretty certain the show went on.

Don't forget to put on the white gloves before you shake hands .

What happened to the clips???

When I say grown up mean watching them on TV seeing them once. First

I grown up with the Osmonds

Did he reach out to ABBA too? That is a cute story.

Look at their suits ...the Osmonds and the Jacksons both did that ...copied Elvis's style ....he really was ahead of his time

660 am wsm Nashville Tennessee legendary iconic achieved singer. Nancy Sinatra. The. Elvis Presley festival. Virtual video Viva Las Vegas.

elvis mother and osmonds mother favor each other.. too bad they were not christians.. they would have made such great gospel songs,, before you hate.. listen to how he quickly realized he said what a great christian when talking about ron tutt and changed it to great man..

Osmonds and other entertainers definitely copied the Elvis jumpsuit!

Priscilla wants the noise ignored because it contains the truth. I think it's disgraceful that no video, no appearance, no statement to thousands of Elvis fans at the Anniversary in Graceland in August 2023. It was left to fans and Joel Weinshanker to even mention Lisa. Linda Thompson Jenner Foster (a girlfriend of Elvis') took such a major role at this occasion was so ridiculous. Let's say Riley was too busy. Riley is the HEAD of Graceland. To not even post a video to all the fans that attend Graceland every year, and especially now when Priscilla is out and Riley is in. She needed to address the fans and let them KNOW that she IS interested in her role as HEAD of Graceland. Priscilla got her money and everything she wanted ? I can see why she eliminated herself from any acknowledgement of Graceland. Not a very intelligent move since she went to court to try to be buried there. She may be rethinking her burial there due to the fact that fans were horrified by her greediness in taking her own daughter's final requests to court and shredded them, while Riley acquiesced to Priscilla's every whim. It was left to Elvis fans to deliver accolades for Lisa Marie. It looked like Riley and Priscilla wanted NO part of honoring Lisa at the once a year anniversary of Elvis. Lisa has literally gotten the shaft from both Priscilla and Riley in the minuteness of anything they said. Big deal....Riley last saw her mother at dinner. Priscilla hadn't spoken to her own daughter in 8 years. She delivered one sentence when Lisa died. That was it. To have seen the condition Lisa was in at the GG and not Riley nor Priscilla be concerned to get her to a doctor immediately for observation? Is it because Riley and Priscilla are Scientologists? Lisa had left the church and she wasn't, so why wouldn't they get her medical help or evaluation after the GG's. I don't think Riley has any responsibility for holding Graceland together. She's said she has hardly any personal attachment even though her mother made sure Riley, Ben and the twins were AT GRACELAND for Elvis' anniversary. Riley needs to address ELVIS FANS who keep Elvis' memory alive. Introduce herself as the HEAD of GRACELAND. Riley should have presented, at the very least, a video explaining that she could not be there BUT..... The fans deserved it after months of arguing over money instead of the loss of the Lisa, Elvis' daughter. Riley would rather report how she didn't have much of a connection to her grandfather's memory (when she was there every year for his birthday) but she related more memories to being at Michael Jackson's. Even if that's true, why even mention that? Lisa always said she trained Riley. Did she? Really?

Pardon me. … but the camera person on this part is VERY hard to stay with….

Stop interrupting and let him talk

Love it
