I stand my ground. 90 yr old Cuban woman said it. She was half white so had no reason to make a racist call. If she heard of hit during her time…then it was true. Ole school pips don’t lie like the weasel of today. She has passed on.
Castro Approved!
Elvis had southern values and upheld certain beliefs. His daddy was very racist.
Elvis once or twice had an outburst (drug fuelled). In particular once against the sweet inspirations.
He was very apologetic about it afterwards but that was Elvis. He would have a fit of rage and afterwards buy you some jewellery or a vehicle, his way of saying sorry.
He respected and drew inspiration from an array of R&B artists.
Elvis introduced black R&B to white mainstream and th world. You have top remember this man changed the world and the way music is heard to this day.
His song 'If i can dream' for his '68 comeback was penned for him during the turmoil of the late sixties. Racial tension, the vietnam war, the assassination of Martin Luther and Kennedy were all points that troubled him and he made a point of airing this.
Hardly the rationale of a redneck.
