Posted July 18, 201114 yr http://www.elvisnews.com/images/pow/pow299.jpg On the set of ‘Easy Come, Easy Go’ A proud Elvis is standing on this picture! And rightfully so, because Elvis has just received the Youth Leadership Award 1966. During the making of his 23rd movie ‘Easy Come, Easy Go,’ Elvis received this Award. Elvis began working on the movie on September 27th 1966, barely 25 days after his work on ‘Double Trouble’ was completed! On November 22nd he is released from the studio. We cannot say which the exact date was, but is is during those two months he gets awarded. The Youth Leadership Award was giving "To the public figure who has set the highest standard for the nation's youth to follow." So you can imagine how good Elvis must have felt, when we think that barely 10 years earlier, there was so much controversy around him.
July 19, 201114 yr Author http://www.elvisnews.com/images/pow/pow118.jpg International Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada powerful stage presence in total command of every room he has ever worked. But backstage at the International Hotel on July 31, 1969, Elvis Presley was packing back and forth like a panther. In a few minutes, he would march out into what was then the largest showroom in Las Vegas, holding 2.000 people. It had been eight years since Elvis had last done a live concert, eight years of recording sessions and movie making, eight years since he had felt the electricity of a packed house. Those of us around him had no doubt he'd be a bigger hit than ever. Deep down probably Elvis knew himself. But at the moment he was sweating through his black mohair suit. As we started walking to the stage, Elvis became very quiet. You could see in his eyes that he was thinking about the show, going over the song list in mind. His tenseness was contagious. Soon we were all nervous. Comedian Sammy Shore finished his act and the house lights went down. The audience was hushed. The Bobby Morris Orchestra began to play and no further introduction was necessary. Nervous time had turned into Showtime. Elvis was back where he belonged. His concerns, of course, were unnecessary. He performed brilliantly for 90 minutes. He fed off people. As Elvis came off the stage, he had tears in his eyes and was soaked in sweat, but this was the sweat of a job well done.
