✅Subscribe FREE to the Greatest Elvis Channel on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBKSRTqgsOZhWAqmG0C0M4A ◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇ FRIENDS, I HAVE DISCOVERED WHERE & WHEN ELVIS WAS FILMED KISSING HIS BLACK BACKING SINGERS. MY RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT IT WAS AT A REHEARSAL IN BUFFALO, NEW YORK ON APRIL 5, 1972. The King looks magnificent- he's wearing his silver plated TCB sunglasses with blue tint, a custom light blue suit with high Napoleonic collar and chunky gold rings on every finger. First he kisses Sylvia Shemwell and then he moves onto Myrna Smith. Known as the Sweet Inspirations, the group worked with Elvis onstage and on record. He loved their soulful harmonies and they were with him from 1969-1977. #shorts ◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇ J.R. as Elvis- OFFICIAL LINKS: ►Support J.R. on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/JRasELVIS ►YouTube (Channel 1): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBKSRTqgsOZhWAqmG0C0M4A ►YouTube (Channel 2): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRpoMYZq4C3bQrKSnC71mIw ◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇ ALSO WATCH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSZ7-OH23ag [⁴ᴷ] --COMPLETE UPSTAIRS TOUR-- ELVIS' GRACELAND 2nd Floor & SCENE OF DEATH: The Clearest Look EVER! ◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇ ALSO WATCH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBeczWE0eZA ELVIS SAYS "F%CK YOU" TO A HATER IN AUDIENCE- Las Vegas, Aug 30 1974 | 3am Show ◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇ ALSO WATCH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVYN-AyQZ2w WORLD'S FIRST!!!
