If you're an Elvis fan like me, you know that no one could stir peoples emotions like Elvis did and still does. You can be down in the dumps, feeling low as can be, but when you hear "Don't Be Cruel" or "All Shook Up"coming through those speakers, suddenly you are feeling a little better.
Who was Elvis Presley and how was he able to connect with people he never met in such a deep way? If we look back over the history of Elvis Presley, we will discover many stories about his generosity and other kind acts that you may or may not be aware of yourself. Most of these things have gone by unnoticed by the press, but I will share all that I know and hope you share as well.
There were many people in Elvis's circle of friends that have told about some of the generous things they saw Elvis do over the years. Many of these stories have been featured in documentary movies of Elvis Presley. These Elvis Presley documentaries tell the basic biography of Elvis. but tell us nothing really new. Of all the interesting facts about Elvis Presley told so far, none are told better than in the film - "Elvis...A Generous Heart."
Lowell Hays, Elvis's friend and personal jeweler tells one story...
"We were in Mississippi. getting ready to go do a live performance when we got word that a little boy was dying and really wanted to see Elvis. He was hospitalized and too sick to get to the show, so we loaded up in cars and went to the hospital. Elvis was dressed for his show and was wearing a cross made of garnets. Elvis talked with the boy for a while and just before leaving, he took off the cross and gave it to the little boy."
George Kline, Elvis's lifelong friend tells how when Elvis first started getting money in...
"Elvis wanted to share his good fortune as he was a sharing person and would get into confrontations with his father about him giving so much away." Elvis's dad would say, "son, we're pretty wealthy, but you are giving away houses and giving away Cadillac cars to people off the street who walk into the dealership. You know, pretty soon the bank account is gonna take a hit."
Elvis would say, "Look dad, I enjoy giving away things to people, that's how I get my enjoyment." He'd say, "I can go out on tour for six weeks and make two million dollars. I'm not worried about money, I want to make people happy."
" I am so lucky to be in a position to give. It's really a great gift to be able to give."
