but the music and the church.
It wasn't like you'd be
and crossin' your legs
and relaxing.
You know, you get very involved
and very energetic.
It's as much a feeling
as it is a hearing.
Elvis Presley:
My mother and dad
both loved to sing.
They'd tell me that when I was
about three or four years old,
I got away from
them in church
and walked up
in front of the choir
and started beatin' time.
Man:
Have you seen
Where the Lord's gone?
Tell me now
Where he's gone
Where he's gone
(singing continues, indistinct)
Ferris:
The hymns were more
than religious.
They were fundamental
building blocks of music.
Rhythmic, hard-hitting,
you had the foundation
of rock and roll bands,
playing in churches.
When I sit down
Lord, sit down
Something will be over
Lord, sit down
When I sit down
Lord, sit down
Gonna say come over here
(screaming)
(indistinct excited speaking)
(inaudible)
Man:
I'm so glad!I'm working over here!
Ferris:
People came to be excited,
and taken out
Elvis was like
Huck Finn exploring.
At night, he would slip
in to black churches.
He would listen
to gospel music
and to the sermons.
Priscilla:
Gladys let him
pursue the music
that he could
surround himself with.
Petty:
Elvis was very different.
Color lines were
rarely crossed.
You just didn't find
white people
and stayed there
and found it interesting
and studied it.
David Porter:
A time where the country
was into racism
and segregation,
and here was a young kid.
He was not afraid to go
and be exposed to it,
so he could learn
even more about it.
Schilling:
He was doing what
he enjoyed doing.
I don't think
it was conscious,
but he absorbed
everything that he saw.
Man:
That's all right
Jackson:
He would seek out people
in his neighborhood
who could play music
or had records,
or had a radio.
Man:
Any way you do
Bruce Springsteen:
You could turn a dial
and hear gospel.
Well, my mama,
she done told me
Springsteen:
Turn a dial
and hear country.
Turn a dial and hear blues.
Turn the dial and hear
Sunday Night Creatures,
you know?
I mean, it was all just there
in the Southern atmosphere
he grew up in.
That's all right now, mama
(Elvis humming)
Elvis:
If today
Was not an endless highway
If tonight
Was not an endless trail
If tomorrow
Wasn't such a long time
Then lonesome
would mean nothing
To me at all
Yes, and only
Elvis:
I always felt that
someday, somehow,
something would happen
to change everything for me.
And I'd daydream
about how it would be.
If I could hear her heart
