A VERY SPECIAL THANKS TO ELVIS!




This month, WHAS11's Friday Flashbacks, from the WHAS11 archives continues and what fitting way to start it with a true occurrence.

On January 8th, 2010 WHAS11 News featured a Friday Flashback honoring Elvis' 75th birthday and a Louisville family watching the newscast that night, suddenly reunited with their late mother, after a nine second film clip.

It was Louisville in 1974 and on the video; Elvis emerges from his hotel room near the fairgrounds to head to Freedom Hall for his concert.

In the crowd that day, WHAS reporter Jim West was interviewing people.

He happened to talk to Dorothy Goff, who was with her daughter and grandkids that day.

Because the concert ended late, she never saw her interview that aired on WHAS that day. She and her family missed it.

That is, until a few weeks ago, during WHAS11's 6pm news.

WHAS11 invited them both to the station to view that short clip once again.

It became a tearful reunion, 30 years after her mother's death. The family has no home movies so it was the first time they've seen or heard her voice since her death.

But WHAS11 had a surprise for them both; a longer segment of Dorothy on film that had never aired.

And through it all, the unlikely reunion via film really does have the hand of Elvis all over it. Dorothy died at age 75.

Michael Jackson & Elvis Presley: Pretty boys gone wild
By Sheri Levine , Canwest News Service     July 3, 2009

First there was Elvis, the “King of Rock ‘n’ Roll,” then came Michael, the “King of Pop;” the only two musical artists ever to be anointed the title of King. Both their reigns came to an eerily similar, tragic end.


Each artist belonged to a generation coming of age in very different eras — the baby boomers grew up with Elvis while the subsequent generation laid claim to Jackson. But Jackson’s surprising death Thursday has not only sparked an outpouring of grief among fans and the music industry, but impromptu celebrations of his music. In death come the tributes and dissection of the superstar’s legacy — the good, the bad and the ugly.


And comparison’s to the first King, the one who elevated rock ‘n’ roll to dizzying heights, are inevitable.


Both musicians were troubled, both changed the landscape of popular culture with their music and style, both died too young, were victims of fame, and broke musical and cultural barriers. The untimely end of both men’s lives was shocking and tragic. Elvis overdosed on pills and there’s wide speculation that pills may have also contributed to Jackson’s death.


Elvis wasn’t nearly as eccentric as Jackson, but they both underwent physical transformations leaving them shadows of their former selves. Jackson started his career as the adorable, charismatic lead singer of the Jackson 5 who became a teen idol. Both Jackson and Elvis were pretty boys, adored by millions of screaming teenage girls.

Jackson underwent a backwards evolution by starting off as a regular, handsome young man who evolved into a strange, almost alien-like caricature — the man in the mirror staring back without any remnants of the Michael Jackson of old.


Elvis’s transformation wasn’t as extreme, but still dramatic given his start as a gorgeous, highly-sexual performer who burst onto the scene seemingly out of nowhere in the 1950s. By the 1970s, Elvis’s leading-man good looks had faded as he battled health problems and his weight. In one of his later performances he would appear dazed, bloated and unable to remember the lyrics to one of his most famous songs — Are You Lonesome Tonight.


Both Jackson and Elvis struggled with health problems and abused prescription drugs. They also had problems with their weight — Elvis packed on the pounds while Jackson shed too many.


Their upbringings were very different, but they had in common humble beginnings. Jackson grew up in Gary, Indiana; Elvis in Tupelo, Mississippi.

But what Jackson and Elvis contributed to popular music remains unsurpassed — Jackson is ranked alongside Elvis and The Beatles as the biggest pop sensations of all time. When Elvis first came onto the music scene he was doing what no one could even conceive of doing — his gyrating dance moves were too sexual and too controversial for the time, (so much so that one of his first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show was filmed from the waist up only.) Elvis moved like no other. His music crossed racial barriers by appealing to both black and white audiences due to his sound; a mix of rhythm and blues, soul and rock. He is regarded as the first “white man” to play “black man’s” music.


Jackson also broke a racial divide with a sound combining synthesized pop, R & B, hip hop and rock, which also appealed to both black and white listeners. In the infancy of music videos, Jackson was not only a pioneer of the new genre, but the first black artist to gain constant airplay on MTV. His spectacular dance moves, like Elvis, were natural and seamless, and bridged the gap between urban subculture and mainstream pop culture. Jackson’s (dance) moves were unlike anything anyone had seen before and like Elvis, the movements were innate gifts.


When Jackson and Elvis were on stage they couldn’t help but move to the beat of their own drummer.


They even had widely-known private sanctuaries — Jackson had Neverland, Elvis had Graceland. For Jackson, Neverland was a place to reclaim his lost childhood, a place where he could escape into his own fantasies. Meanwhile, Graceland provided Elvis with the solace and calm he often sought away from the spotlight.

John Lennon once said: “Before there was Elvis there was nothing.” And so perhaps that is why he is the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, the one people couldn’t help falling in love with. But the King of Pop isn’t too far behind. Jackson thrilled audiences just the same; he was bad, accused of being dangerous, but in the end he wasn’t invincible. He may be gone, but it’s unlikely he’ll be dethroned any time soon.

Bradford Alhambra: Michael Jackson tribute show set to be a thriller

Fans of Michael Jackson will be moonwalking on air when a spectacular tribute to his musical career arrives in West Yorkshire.

West End hit Thriller Live is coming to Bradford's Alhambra Theatre later this month as part of an 11-city UK tour.

The concert-style show opens at the Alhambra on Monday, September 20 and runs until the following Saturday.

It features performances of a string of Jacko tracks, including Man In the Mirror, Billie Jean, Beat It, Earth Song and, of course, Thriller.

There are further tuneful treats in the form of I Want You Back, ABC and I'll Be There, all drawn from his time with The Jackson Five.
Fans are also being promised cleverly-choreographed routines that do full justice to Jacko's Moonwalk dance move talents.

Bradford Theatres general manager Adam Renton said: "I'm extremely excited about Thriller Live opening their autumn tour with us.

"It's the first time the show has toured on this scale in UK theatres, having only done arena tours previously.

"Thriller Live delivers high class entertainment suitable for everyone.

"With two hours of non-stop hits delivered by a talented cast and live band, audiences will be up on their feet."

Born in Indiana in the United States in 1958, Jacko shot to fame as a child star with The Jackson Five.

Massive solo success followed, earning him the nickname 'King of Pop' and no fewer than seven UK number ones.

Dogged in his later years by money troubles and controversy over his private life, Jackson died aged 50 in the summer of 2009.

* Ticket prices for Thriller Live's run at the Alhambra start at £12. For more details, visit the www.bradford-theatres.co.uk website or ring the box office 01274 432000.

Tom Jones To Headline Elvis Tribute Concert

Welsh crooner Sir Tom Jones is to headline a star-studded concert paying tribute to his pal Elvis to mark what would have been The King's 75th year.

The veteran singer, who struck up a close friendship with Presley in the 1970s, will be joined by acts including KT Tunstall, Mica Paris, Tony Hadley and Travis' Fran Healy for Radio 2's Elvis Forever show in London's Hyde Park on Sunday (12Sep10).

Presley's ex-wife Priscilla will be co-hosting the event and the TCB Band, who played with the Heartbreak Hotel hitmaker until his death in 1977, will provide backing music.

A fireworks display will mark the end of the concert, which will be held to pay tribute to Presley's back catalogue.

Radio 2 and 6 Music head of programmes, Lewis Carnie, says, "I am delighted that Sir Tom can join us to celebrate the music of Elvis Presley, for a night that promises to be very special."

Mercedes de Elvis vai a leilão no fim do ano

Londres (Reino Unido) Além do reconhecido talento musical, Elvis Presley também tinha muito apreço pelo modelo 600 da Mercedes-Benz, tendo sido dono de dois destes carros em sua vida. Um destes veículos irá a leilão em dezembro na Inglaterra, de acordo com a casa de leilões Bonhams.

O Mercedes 600 a ser leiloado está atualmente totalmente restaurado, segundo a Bonhams, é um dos poucos carros que Elvis registrou em seu nome, e ficou dois anos nas mãos do músico até ser dado para seu amigo James Leroy Robertson.

Robertson ficou com o carro até 2005, quando o veículo foi comprado da Robertson Motors Memphis, nos Estados Unidos, e exportado para o Reino Unido.

Além do Mercedes 600 de Elvis, o leilão "Important Motor Cars and Fine Automobilia", marcado para o dia 6 de dezembro, também contará com diversos outros veículos, entre eles uma rara Ferrari 550 GTZ feita nos anos 2000, um dos cinco carros com chassi feito pela famosa Carrozeria Zagato, e único com a configuração britânica de direção, com o motorista do lado direito.

This Mercedes-Benz was once owned by Elvis Presley and is expected to make £200,000 at auction (300,000.00 $US). The 1969 car is being sold by Bonhams in Surrey in December.
