Linda Thompson interview: "Elvis was needy... intensely lonely at heart" 

As much as i would have loved to have known him,i didn't. She did and i believe she loved him. Fly high my elvis. You will never be forgotten. Xx

I had an aunt and uncle who called one another, Mommy and Daddy. Great marriage.

Linda is so compassionate and sweet

Dankeschön Linda,das sie so wahr über Elvis gesprochen haben und liebevoll.Anders als Pricilla.Das kann man sich schon nicht mehr anhören. Vielen Dank❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

My step dad and I painted the house Elvis put her up in back in the 70s. I had a river rock from her house/ Elvis house for years I stuck in my pocket. I thought it was the coolest thing in the world. It was a river rock the size of a silver dollar. Hahaha

I really like her and how deeply she loved and cared for Elvis. They had something deep and special.

She talked nothing but sweet, kind things about elvis. She's a wonderful lady!

Its shameful to continue to talk about Elvis in a private settings... He's not here to defend himself... Only the side of women telling these stories... sad....No way to prove or disprove...Let Elvis rest in peace....He deserves it...He gave the world so much...😢❤👑

Thank you Linda So much!❤♡

Th so you so very much Linda for sharing. And thanks you Graceland for finally involving Linda. Be great to hear a bit more from Ginger too hey.

Linda Thompson described Elvis to a tee. She did indeed know him, inside and out, and she loved him a great deal too. I can believe that Elvis was needy and lonely at heart. He did indeed miss his beloved mother a whole lot. When she died, a part of Elvis died too, which accounted for the vulnerability and neediness that he had. She also said that he loved hard, very fiercely. I can believe that about him. He seemed to be a man, who had a caring heart, and someone who truly valued/appreciated all of those he loved. He called Linda Mommy for a reason, she was there to cater to his every need, almost as if she were a parent instead of a girlfriend. I know that sounds weird, but it's true, in a lot of ways. Elvis was like a little boy and not a man at times. He could bring the caring in a woman, as well as the protective part that every woman feels for her child. Elvis was needy and demanded a lot of personal attention. He wanted a woman, who would revolve her world, around his world constantly. Linda did love Elvis, and there wasn't anything she wouldn't do for him, but there came a time when she decided to leave him. She just couldn't stand to see Elvis destroy himself with his addiction, which conquered him, and which he couldn't get any control over. He would eventually die in 1977, at the young age of only 42, which will always be a tragedy in itself.

Linda Thompson verdaderamente afortunada❤

Great video thank you! (Please ignore the hate comments!)

Creo que linda fue la única mujer que de verdad amó a Elvis

Pet names are a sign of live, it doesn’t matter what they are. It’s healthy:

Could this be one reason why he gravitated toward younger women they are more willing to bend and give beyond what a older experienced women would or had to give… emotionally immature if you will would be ideal for that type of neediness from a grown man

Przynajmniej Linda kochała Elvisa, za to jej dziekujemy, że jej zalezalo na nim, ze nie byla z Elvisem dla jego pieniedzy ,ale niestety byla to milosc bez wzajemności ze strony Elvisa.

Sounds like he had an anxiety disorder, probably from childhood trauma; from living so poor. His mother died to soon, when he was embarking on this unbelievable career of his, he was scared!

Such a sweet way Linda speaks of Elvis, whereas the way Priscilla speaks it’s like he was only the star that groomed her, making him look like an abuser while Linda remembers him with love and affection! People that see right thru Priscilla knows, she had her sights on Elvis to take her to the world of money! Priscilla was the one that broke that relationship, thinking she could blackmail him into marrying her and it not effecting how he truly saw her after that, he knew exactly why she wanted him. Linda also loved Lisa Marie whereas Priscilla resented her and, it was so evident in Priscilla’s face whenever she spoke of Lisa Marie that she was a disappointment to Priscilla and she also resented her because Elvis adored her so much. How do you think you could call Elvis the love of your life when in actual fact, he was the only thing Priscilla cares about, possessions! She is truly a cold hearted she devil at heart!

I believe her ❤

My First love used to call me mom short for mommy and I called him dad ...!!

What is SO FREAKIN HILARIOUS About This... Is that Elvis DID NOT WANT to spend every minute of the day with Priscilla.... Linda must be living RENT FREE in her head.... 😂😂😂😂🤪🤪🤪😆😆😆💯💯💯🔥🔥

Do you know Linda you’re the best for him? It’s so sad you can stay but understand close and like that is not happiness. I know I really liked you were the kind person.

The difference with Linda and Priscilla is huge. Linda talks about most of the good side and how a normal person Elvis is.. in and out of stage. Can see the care and love whilst she talk about Elvis. Priscilla on the other hand has a twisted mind, one day she says this and one day she says that. She talk about Elvis being controlling so and and so forth.... She just talk about her self and how Elvis treated her so bad. She always say, he is the love of her life but all she does is tarnish Elvis name. What a joke! Just interested in his money and fame. Even the other past girlfriends, no bad month of them about Elvis.

mommy is a spanish term for respect so if someone calls mommy they respect u

Too bad Elvis couldn’t be faithful to any woman. After their first year together Linda was aware that he was cheating on her. After 4 years together she finally had enough of it.

Shame on you for talking about your private life these should be private memories that you take with you to the grave

We know Linda the Saint 😂 They we’re not together 24/7 for 4-5 years. He was dating so many other Women.. She’s a liar too.

nobody knows but when elvis started getting popular in 50s he couldnt be at home when he made it he bought graceland his mother was always at home and she drank all the time she used to ask elvis to stay at home with her he said he couldnt his career was taking off he was super busy so gladys drank herself to death because of her lonliness sad elvis ended up the same way

He missed Priscilla so much that he wouldn't let anyone out of his sight

I hate that you talk about him…. I really don’t care for any of it, I’m sorry, from you, from Priscilla, from Ginger..and whoever says anything

She turned herself into a nurse and mothered him. He had a mother he wasn't looking for another one. She was with him for 4 years. She's trying to compete with Priscilla's time with him. Linda has written a lot of books about Elvis for 47 yrs. She's still sucking money off of Elvis' name. She should be ashamed of herself.

Really people don't find it kinda strange that he called his girlfriend not a wife mommy. People had to wash his hair for him. Watch him when he slept. Watch him when he ate so he wouldn't choke. What was next. He could of saved alot of money just by hiring a caregiver He wasn't a child. But you can tell from that he believed his own hype.

Calling her mommy should be a clue as to what her relationship actually was with Elvis. She was a maid. She was paid really well with all the jewelry she spouts about, and she belittles him while making herself appear to be superwoman. There are things she should NOT be telling leaving some of his personal feelings to private. Good grief! When will she ever stop! I guess she's bucking for saint hood. She tells things I'm sure Elvis would rather his fans NOT know. He had no privacy and not the little privacy he had she exploits and has been over and over for 47 years.

Elvis was a real oddball. Dude had serious head issues

I think Elvis was a man who couldn't be with one woman forever. It didn't seem like he wanted to be tied down forever to just one. He knew just what to say to all of these women to keep them around, and knew what to do that would cause them to leave. Notice how all of these women say the same things about him? He fed them all the same lines and they worked. I didn't watch all of this video, because I don't like listening to her. She was not the love of his life and nothing more than his shack job who looked after him. I don't care what he called her, but according to her, he called her Mommy. What?! That is so weird.

Elvis ,left Priscilla to Mike Stones like OLD SHOES FOUNDED in the garage , loved Cassius Clay and made him beautiful gift. Elvis was homosexual and lose the head for Cassius . But Cassius Clay was not homosexual. Elvis started the story with Linda Thompson but Dreamed to make love with Cassius Clay ❤❤❤❤❤
