Never before heard video of Elvis at 21 reveals he was lonely

Elvis Presley was a cultural icon. Often referred to as the King of Rock and Roll. He won and broke the hearts of millions of women. And no doubt, a new recording will have many swooning once again.

As a young, naive and budding superstar, Presley revealed in a recorded interview on the set of Love Me Tender that he was lonely as he spoke of love and life.

”The Early Show” got a clip of the never-before-heard interview from RCA/Legacy’s new Elvis Presley box set, “The Young Man With The Big Beat,” scheduled to be released on Sept., 27.

In the 1956 interview, Presley openly reflected on love, life and what his future would hold. The interview was recorded four years before his mega hit “Are You Lonesome Tonight.”

In the recording Presley said, “Am I in love? No, I thought I’d been in love, but I guess I wasn’t, it just passed over. I guess I haven’t met the girl yet.”

Presley went on to say that he wanted to settle down one day so that he would no longer feel “lonesome right in the middle of a crowd.”

Thousands of fans braved torrential rain to cheer on the music legend, who combined the gospel tracks from his latest album ‘Praise & Blame’ with his more well-known hits, including ‘Delilah’, It’s Not Unusual’, ‘The Green, Green Grass of Home’, ‘Kiss’ and ‘You Can Leave Your Hat On’.

Despite the wet weather, the singer was on good form, telling the crowd – who descended onto the expansive grounds with picnic blankets and hampers in hand – stories of his friendships with Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis.

One fan said: “It was really wet, but Tom made it all worthwhile. We forgot about the rain as soon as he started singing.”
