Elvis Presley & Neil Young: "He Was The King"



A buddy of ours (a non-Neil-fan type/ordinary people) forwarded over this video which they thought we would get a real kick out of, so we thought we would share.

Here's a remix of Neil Young's "He Was The King" from Director Jonathan Demme's film "Heart of Gold" along with iconic Elvis Presley imagery.



enjoy! (Thanks Tim!)


Neil Young performed on Saturday Night Live, on September 30, 1989, wearing an Elvis Presley shirt.

Also, Neil Young once had a dog named Elvis that he wrote a song about called "Old King".

  1. great timing as I just busted out Prairie Wind last week...that album is aging well & damn it if 'This Old Guitar' doesn't make me tear up every time

    'He Was the King' is great plus we get a little studio chatter between Neil & Ben before the song starts...

  2. "Elvis has left the building"(and the music-and film-scene).He was one of my first heroes,because a former girlfriend was a big fan,as was my brother.Rock'n roll will never die...Cees,the Netherlands.
