Six feet tall, gorgeous face, respectful, unmatched style, great sense of humor, charismatic, beautiful voice (singing and talking), kind hearted, great hair and in my opinion the first man to ever have swag. It doesn’t get better than Elvis Presley! He is the definition of perfection. 😍❤️
I was just a child when Frank Sinatra's show was on an TV.. my sister was in high school and was one of those who would damn near pass out to every time she saw Elvis. In 1962 the World's fair opened in Seattle. Mom and Dad decided it would be a great time to see a World's Fair, since we lived a little over a hundred miles to the south of Seattle. When we got there we were told that Elvis was filming a movie. Later released as "It Happened at the World's Fair". We were waiting in line to go up the Space Needle. We had been in line and we're the next to get one of the elevators. All of a sudden 2 body guards and Elvis came up and we're about to get on that elevator, when Elvis turned and said "these folks have probably been waiting for some time. There is plenty of room, would you like to ride with us?" To the dismay of his bodyguards, Elvis ushered us into the fairly small elevator. Now my Dad was somewhat old fashioned and not an Elvis fan. Dad believed (or hoped) that rock n roll was just a passing fad. Anyway Elvis was so polite to my Dad and Mom, with the yes sirs and yes Ma'am 's. And even when we got to the top and got off, he continued to talk to us, talking about his time in the Army in Germany, and asking Mom and Dad about our family and our lives, always ending every sentence with a "Sir" or Ma'am. After they left (I was just 13) Dad was quiet for some time. Mom finally asked him why he was so quiet Dad said that even though he was in his 50's, he learned a valuable lesson about "not" judging folks until you get to know them. He said that Elvis must have been raised right, because he was as nice and polite as could be. He didn't have to invite us to share that elevator ride but he did, and he didn't have to take interest in our lives but he did. Dad said that he was sorry that he had pre judged that young man, just because he didn't care for his type of music. But he swore that would not happen again, and although he never did warm up to his music, he did warm up to Elvis as a man. Sorry to bore you at length, but I will never forget the Day that Elvis taught my Dad a valuable lesson and gave us a memory that we will never forget. Good luck to you on your show. I just accidentally stumbled onto it but was very entertained.
What a beautiful story, the things I read about Elvis never cease to amaze me, I was orn in 1963 and I've been an Elvis fan all my life, your story wasn't boring but it did bring a tear to my eye, your dad must have been a hell of a man, he wasn't afraid to admit he was wrong, back in those days it was rare for a man to do that, even these days come to think of it.
Elvis’s mother, the love of his life, died, while he was serving in the army. When he returned, it was still very difficult for him to perform because he was grieving over the loss his mother so much.
Most Gorgeous man that ever was on the face of this world. GOD sent us an angle and his name was Elvis Presley and oh he was born in my state of Mississippi. GOD BLESS EVERYONE🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵🎤🎤🎤💙💙💙
"Hide in the kitchen. Hide in the hall. Ain't gonna do you no good at all. 'Cause once I catch you and the kissin' starts a team of wild horses couldn't tear us apart." Love Me Tender was an Elvis song and the title of his first movie.
why is it so imported how he affected women..... He was involved in his music and if the women got affected with his handsomeness, it is just a lateral thing.
It's Amazing when you realize that Elvis' career was only about 21 years long. I believe it was from 1956 to 1977. And almost 50 years after his death he is still capturing fans. I don't think any other performer has had such an impact in such a short time. He once asked one of his associates "Do you think they will remember me when I'm gone." Hard to believe he thought he would be forgotten after all he accomplished.
If you haven’t already, you absolutely MUST watch Elvis Live In Las Vegas 1970 Suspicious Minds. High energy, dripping sweat, out of breath, playful with the audience and flirting with his backup singers. Can’t wait to watch your face in amazement at what you are witnessing. Guarantee that as soon as your reaction is over, you will watch it again, maybe twice.
@@lechatel You know what they say about opinions. Even a$$holes have opinions. No that’s not it. Every a$$hole has an opinion. No, that’s not it either. An a$$hole’s opinion is for everyone. Nope, damn it, what is it? Opinions are like a$$holes, everybody has one. That’s it!!! 🎈🎊Congratulations on yours!🎊🎈 We are all so happy you came to share!😁
@lechatel I think he was on about it more from a performance perspective than the actual song. My mum hates you've lost that loving feeling (all the boys In school sung it to the girls like they were maverick in top gun) but still appreciates it vocally. She's very pretty so got sung too alot haha.
You need to see "Elvis Presley and the Black Community" and how he was censored through out the 50's and only filmed from the waist up. He has truly suffered for his art. I'm from the 50's and it was so segregated he actually broke segregation laws. Thanks for your reaction, great job.
I saw a Johnny Cash interview once or read it. He was talking about his start and how he got to go on the road in the 50’s with Elvis. He said that as soon as his gig was up he’d leave the venue. But, not with Elvis. He said “Everybody stayed for Elvis. He was the show closer. You didn’t wanna miss that for 3 reason. 1.) The girls. He had a cult like following of girls. 2.) Him. There just wasn’t anything like him ever before. He was different. A lot of people thought he was some kind of freak or something. 3.) You wanted to stay because you just never knew what might happen. There were riots at shows and he was receiving death threats in every town we played. I saw it first hand. I remember, standing behind the stage curtain behind him where he couldn’t see me and didn’t know I was there. I’d just watch him. I can close my eyes and see it like it was yesterday. He was all alone. Waiting to go on. I don’t know why he was alone or where the band was but he was just standing there and shaking. He was getting himself worked up like they do in church. I felt sorry for him.”. At this point, in the interview, Cash actually chokes up, and tears fill his eyes and he says “Nobody will ever know, if you weren’t there, and I witnessed firsthand, nobody today will ever know the hatred that man had hurled at him by racists and politicians and preachers and cops and you name it. And he handled it so good but I know it wasn’t easy.”. Cash seemed visibly shaken recalling the memory. When I saw that, it changed my outlook or perspective of him a lot.
Yes, they were singing one another’s songs Love Me Tender was Elvis’ song & Witchcraft was Frank’s song. Frank’s youngest daughter, Nancy, who was 18, fell madly in love with Elvis. She said he just made her melt. They were both making movies at the time. Elvis was not allowed to move about too much when being televised. He had had to overcome so much for his love of music, & it cost him dearly, when he was drafted into the army & his most beloved mother had a heart attack & died at the age of 46. Elvis was 22 at the time, & he never got over losing her. His two years serving in tanks in Germany, matured him & curbed the rebel inside of him. It also got him hooked on prescription meds, as the army gave them to the soldiers to keep them awake all night, if they were on duty, as it was very cold in winter in Germany & if they had fallen asleep, they would have got hypothermia. So now, at the age of 24, he is no longer the same young man who was first drafted into the army.
Elvis' voice in the early 60s was smooth like butter. He really had expanded his range and I swear, his sound at that time was the prettiest I've ever heard a man sing. During the army years, he had been working a lot on his vocal technique and breathing and listening to more music like opera, etc. You can definitely hear a change in his voice compared to the 50s recordings. But that's part of what I love about Elvis. His voice changed over time and sang such a variety of songs and styles!
Elvis is without doubt the greatest singer to ever graced this earth,u need to actually listen to the studio versions of Fame and Fortune &Stuck on You,his voice control is rather divine its thats smooth&hot its melts butter,I can c your genuine attraction to Elvis and I think it hilarious,this is wat u call a genuine fan.RIP ELVIS&SINATRA
Elvis was 6’0” tall and the absolute most gorgeous man ever! Sinatra was singing Elvis’ song Love me tender and Elvis was singing Frank’s song witchcraft. They were very good friends. Loved that you did this reaction!❤
In the middle of Elvis singing career he was drafted in the Army. Apon coming back, he was on the Frank Sintra Show were Frank sang Elvis's song "Love Me Tender" and Elvis sang "Witchcraft" one of the many songs Frank sang. Also, in this clip is comedian Joey Bishop. Frank, Joey along with singers Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and Actor Peter Lawford made up a group called "The Rat Pack".
Elvis was paid $125,000 for 11 minutes of air time for this show. Enormous amount of money for 1960. He earned more than Sinatra, whose show it was. Elvis had gotten such enormous ratings on Ed Sullivan's show that Sinatra said he wanted him on his. Got the biggest rating his TV show ever had the entire season. On Ed Sullivan show, they pulled in 82.5% of the viewing audience in the entire country. Hard to imagine that level of stardom already. Also, BTW, Sinatra demanded that Elvis wear a Tux.
YOU ARE KILLING ME! I LOVE THIS MAN!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ THANK YOU.. HE WAS IN THE ARMY, ELVIS WAS, FRANK WAS A CRUEL MAN IN REAL LIFE . VERY JEALOUSE OF ELVIS!! ❤❤❤❤
Britt, I had sent you this request and thank you so much for doing it! I love your channel. Frank’s variety show was a big deal and they were the first to sign Elvis to an appearance after he was discharged from the army. The contract did say he had to wear a tuxedo and to tone it down a little. I think Elvis really wanted to bust loose but couldn’t. This is a great time capsule and Elvis was so FINE!
@@dollygirl6487 She made it clear on the show that she was thrilled Elvis was there but credits her father with being open minded enough to invite him. She also made it clear her fiancé Tommy Sands wasn’t quite as happy as her dad.
Once again love your reaction!!!!! You make me laugh and smile. Yeah, Elvis had to be reserved in his moves because of television and the audience these programs reached. They would often do close ups because they were afraid of his "loose legs & hips". Hahaha! He was know as "Elvis the Pelvis". One note, in the second song he sings, Stuck on You, he is singing the lyrics - Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall, Ain't gonna do you no good at all. Cause once I catch ya, and the kissin' starts a team of wild horses couldn't tear us apart. You can see he his fully aware of this presence and power he holds. Pure raw talent! Really enjoy your channel!
The most beautiful and smoothest man to walk this planet. Not even a close second. Then add the voice, personality, humor, charisma, kindness, generosity, etc.. the list goes on and on.. This is why Elvis is the King.
AN DEAD AT 42 !!! he had a massive flaw , he was stupid an he inherited bad genetics as his recently deceased child can also atest to , he was beautiful he was the best the world has ever seen but he was dying by 1973 it took a few years but...Tom Parker milked him until his death , pricilla carrys that on an no one stepped in to help.
Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall..! Gorgeous man, talented, good heart, charismatic, has rhythm.....too much to name!! Absolutely beautiful, gorgeous man!!!! As close to perfect that you can get!!!
He had to hold back, sweetheart! The POLICE had threatened to put him in jail...FOR REAL, if he moved from his waist down! I am a 65 year old woman that has followed ELVIS from the time that I could watch t.v. until his untimely DEATH! I was and still am a huge ELVIS fan! He was, is, and always will be the KING of ROCK AND ROLL! He began by revolutionizing MUSIC, and then moved on to revolutionizing SOCIETY! The next thing that you should react to is "Jailhouse Rock"! This is before music videos, but "Jailhouse Rock" is a movie; and the title song was named for the movie! It is PHENOMENOL, SPECTACULAR, GORGEOUS, and a MASTERPIECE for the era it came from! The dancing alone was absolutely unreal, but when you hear ELVIS open his mouth to sing it, you just have to get up and MOVE!!! This song was NEW, SOOOO DIFFERENT, and SUPER COOL!!! PLEASE react to it! I promise that you will NOT regret it! Thank you for a wonderful reaction!
Yes Elvis came out and sang as he Teased the audience with a few slight movements. You have to love it! Great reaction as I enjoy your Elvis reactions, tremendously!😊❤️
I had to come back, once more to hear this! It is one of my favorire songs! "Something Blue" is another song from the same time period, that is SPECTACULAR! DOO WOP is the type of music, from the late 50's and early 60's, that you are looking for! It is actually making a comeback!!!
Love Me Tender is one Elvis’ iconic songs. Witchcraft is Sinatra’s song. Both songs are much slower and romantic originally, and are fast paced in this show for fun. Frank turns the slow ballad it to a Sinatra style jazz number and Elvis makes the romantic Witchcraft like a sexy Elvis song.
Great reaction! And wow, I don't have the time to read through more than 500 comments, but in case it hasn't been mentioned... in those days, Elvis' moves were censured and his earlier TV performances (Before the Army), he was only allowed to be filmed from the waist up. You'll even notice in this performance sometimes the camera suddenly moved to his face even though the audience was screaming about... well, something. That, and the fact that Elvis was on the Sinatra show AND wearing a tuxedo, a far cry from his usual stage attire, probably all contributed to his somewhat "controlled" if you will, performance.
To BrittReacts. I really love your reaction on your face. You got a great SMILE. I LOVE THE WAY YOU TALK ABOUT ELVIS PRESLEY. KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING. ONE OF THE BEST SINGERS IN THE WORLD. THERE WILL NEVER BE OTHER SINGER LIKE HIM AGAIN IN THE WORLD. ONE OF A KIND 😎
You gotta watch'Elvis and the Black community the echo will never die ' and ' Elvis King of Kindness ' both show what a humble, generous man he was , a man who people not color , a man who got so much pleasure from helping and giving to others , not to make a show of it but just for the shear joy it brought to him .
Elvis held back because it was made clear to him that he had to. Sinatra had a very sensitive ego, and was threatened by Elvis. The old establishment including Sinatra was knocked on their behinds by this supremely talented and exciting new guy. Elvis was paid a fortune to be on the show because the demand for him after the army was overwhelming. Elvis was stunning to look at, moved like a jaguar, could sing all genres beautifully and drive women insane, and Sinatra knew it.
Fantastic reaction 👏👏🌹🌹💐💐 Thank you to whomever requested this one & thank you, Miss Britt, for reacting to this video clip, truly wonderful! So just to give you some info: "Fame And Fortune" is listed under two genres of music styles: Rock 'n' Roll & Pop. I know. I thought for sure it was Doo- Wop, too. But apparently it's not. Doo- Wop itself is a subgenre of R&B, which actually got started in latter half of the 1930's. It all started with a loop chord progression that was used in such songs like Rogers and Hart's 1934 hit "Blue Moon" and Hoagy Carmichael and Frank Loesser's 1938 "Heart And Soul" (note: these are the names of the songwriters, not the recording artists). So Doo- Wop composers then took that loop chord progression and varied it slightly but significantly differently that would go on to be very influential and later be known as the "50's progression". One of the best selling worldwide hits to come out of the early Doo- Wop era is "If I Didn't Care" 1938 recording by The Ink Spots & written by Jack Lawrence (born Jacob Louis Schwartz who was a closeted gay man and son of Russian Jewish immigrants; he and his partner would officially come out as a couple in a New York Times interview in 1968 after having made a sizable charitable donation to the Israel Museum in Jersulem. Jack Lawrence was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1975.) The Ink Spots were an African- American singing group. The Ink Spots were influential in propelling the early popularity of Doo- Wop. The Ink Spots were also one of Elvis's favorite singing groups growing up. Doo- Wop is also noted to have emerged from the East Coast inner- city African- American communities back in the late 1930's/ 1940's. Doo- Woo reached its pinnacle of popularity worldwide in the 1950's and early 1960's. This is a VERY over- simplified and chopped down bit of info on Doo- Wop. Another significant note of classic Doo- Wop songs, I forgot to add, is that they are all about love and they all have a catchy vocal harmonization featured as the back up vocals as well as part of the chorus. Okay, I think that's it- I do try to give context without getting too bogged down with the details. Thank you ever so much once again! TCB ⚡ & TLC ❤ & peace ✌& blessings 🙏 to you & yours & to one & all here as well 💕
Couldn't you just have left the gay men in the closet? And just stated what they wrote? Why was it important for you to mention their blasphemy against God, just curious?
@@texasgirl6000 I mean no disrespect but I do not have the opinion that anyone who is gay/ homosexual as "blasphemous" or "against God". I do not pretend to know how God feels or what He thinks on anything. God has never spoken to me. And obviously I have never met Him either. As for why I chose to include that bit of information: Knowing how gay people were treated by society in those days, I thought it brave of the two men to come out publicly in 1968. Peace & blessings & I hope you have a lovely day.
@Sammy_ the_ Uncool , you're entitled to your opinion, but the Bible is very clear about same sex situations/ couples, so it's not my opinion it's GOD'S opinion. I don't hate gay people as that is a sin as well....however, I hate the sin and I as a Christian am supposed to call it out for what it is and not condone or support blasphemy. Have a blessed day.
@@texasgirl6000 Deleted my last reply. Upon thinking about it my reply to yours was a bit misleading. To preface: I have not read the Bible. I have no excuse for that. I grew up in a house with several at my disposal. I did try but I could not get past page 8 because the beginning read almost exactly like the Greek and Roman and Egyptian mythological tales I enjoyed reading as a kid. But I will say that I do not consider the Bible as the Word of God. To explain all of the reasons why would be too time consuming. I do respect your choice to be a Christian and believe the Bible to be the Word of God. Therefore I respectfully and humbly say that I can believe in God but I cannot claim to know Him. You have a blessed day as well 💕
So glad you have disvovered the greatness of Elvis Presley. He waws one of the greatest singing voices of all time. Keep following your journeey. You will enjou your journedy beyoun you wildes dreams
Elvis👑 is the only singer in the history of American music that got drafted into the military at the height of his fame!!!! Imagine if Michael Jackson,, Prince ,The Beatles got drafted at the height of their fame,,,if they did,,,they would of been in the Special Services not the Regular Army,,, That's how come, I admire Elvis...am a US Navy Veteran 🇺🇲,,,,Elvis Never forgot where he came from.very humble soul.
Back in the 1990's when I was at the height of my entertainment career I met several guys who actually served with Elvis in the Army & they all had wonderful things to say about him. Like all other veterans they greatly admired how Elvis despite being a mega Star by 1958 actually served alongside all the other soldiers WITHOUT the special treatment & status that celebrities would demand & get. No other superstar would ever do that again in today's elite culture. I had a very close romantic involvement with 1 of Elvis' 1970's GFs & was close to many of Elvis' close friends from high school til his death, family members, & members of his band. As a result of my intimate knowledge & experiences I know Elvis for the actual man he was which was so much deeper than the surface caricature that many people now see him as. There are just so many stories from his high school classmates, his GFs, his close friends that make U really appreciate the actual man he was beyond the image. He was born & raised very poor & despite being the biggest Superstar of all time always had a humbleness to him. It's often true that the Stars that shine brightest burn out the soonest.
Great video to react to. After the army his manager wanted a different image for him after his “rebel years” of the 50’s. Unfortunately it lead to a lot of bad movies and music in the 60’s until the comeback special. The second of his solo songs is one of my most requested to do in my shows. Love it. Great job
Poor Elvis. Col. Parker completely sanitized him throughout most of the 60s until the GREAT Comeback Special in 1968. (Not to mention all t he horrible movies, with horrible songs, he was forced to make)
Great reaction as always! No Internet back in 1960! Frank Sinatra hosted a welcome-back show for Elvis who had just returned from the Army. The aspect ratio is a it off in this video so that's why he looks so tall. He was actually 6. It just so happens that a lot of people in the entertainment industry were (and continue to be) short. My 5'6" self can appreciate this. 😃Elvis's voice matured during his two years in the Army. He admired Italian-American crooners like Mario Lanza, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin and during his two year stint he worked with friend Charlie Hodge (who you later see playing acoustic guitar and singing harmony in Elvis's bands). Frank Sinatra was also a big star at this time - but he appealed to an older set of fans. The two of them possess so much swagger. Elvis also developed smoother moves having commenced his study of Karate while in the Army. Imagine how much life Elvis had already experienced since his first appearance on Ed Sullivan and Milton Berle back in 1956. He became an national and international star; his mother died; he was drafted and served in tour in the Army; he met a very young Priscilla. And all during this time, he worried he'd come back and people would have forgotten him. Nope.
I love the end when they sing each other’s songs. The later 60s and 70s he danced and moved more again. Then if you want heartbreaking, watch him sing Separate Ways. He recorded it while going through his divorce. It’s gut wrenching.
This was 1960 and elvis had just returned from the army and his voice had changed as it had done so many times in his career but elvis voice in 1960 was at its peak you only have to listen to 4 songs from that year It’s now or never , are you lonesome tonight, surrender and can’t help falling in love 4 of his greatest recordings his voice is spectacular in these songs and you heard it in Fame and Fortune which you reacted to
I’m Bobby Esposito, my father, Joe Esposito worked for and was the closest person in the world to Elvis. Any truths you want about Elvis or suggestions, please ask me. I’ll be happy to help. Stay sweet!
B.S. !!!!! JOE had 2 daughters and 1 son - Debbie, Cindy and Anthony - There is no fucking BOBBY as hi son. Please visit a THERAPIST and stop doing FENTANILO :D
Hello Britt your reaction is so beautiful im Elvis fan from 1960 im 73 years old im from the Netherlands you are so enthusiastic i love it thanks voor the videos.👍🏻
This fan reaction is coming full circle for Frank Sinatra. When he was a young singer he had all the young girls (Bobby Soxers) were doing the same for Frank and flabbergasting the older generation.
Yes, yes, yes... if you ever stumble on a live recording of a Frank Sinatra concert from 10 years earlier than this video, it's often hard to hear much over the continuously screaming younger ladies, very much like the screams on this recording but nearly continuous... pre-Elvis, pre-Beatles... ol' Blue Eyes had that sort of rabid fandom following as well!
Elvis could sing many genres. The first song was more of a 50’s love ballad. Elvis sang ballads with such gentle tones, it made hearts melt. To answer your question, Elvis was 6 ft tall. Love your Elvis reactions! Frank Sinatra was the very very popular with the ladies in the 40s thru the 60’s, hence the joking about singing each other’s song.
The reason Elvis is so 'constrained' is because this is television in the '60s. Married people always had twin beds and Ed Sullivan could only show Elvis from the waist up. Welcome to my childhood.
I so enjoyed watching you watch EP. But he had/has that effect on everyone. I do love his performance of Fame and Fortune here. Keep reacting to Elvis!! 😊
when i am walking outside, listening to music, and comes Love me tender, very minimalist instrumental and so intimate song, just everything gone outside and you are in the moment.
Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall… Love me tender is a very slow romantic Elvis song. Witchcraft is a Frank song. Frank got some screams when he was younger, but EP took it to a new level.

great story. it is an urban legend that Elvis was a very humble person RIP Elvis
Wow what an amazing story and memory you shared to have that experience of bring in an elevator with elvis wow thanks for sharing your story
Elvis’s mother, the love of his life, died, while he was serving in the army. When he returned, it was still very difficult for him to perform because he was grieving over the loss his mother so much.
The one and only incomparable Elvis ❤❤❤❤❤
I love watching your reactions to Elvis.
Apart from the sheer charm and talent, Elvis really knew how to wear a suit!
Yea. Especially when it was made out of leather! Sorry, sorry, I couldn’t help myself. But you’re right, he looked damn good in that tux.
@memphisflashfan1 , Elvis would've looked good in anything, he was one fine looking man.
See the lyrics, beautiful lady. 😍🤩💞🤴💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
The two things I like and respect about Elvis besides his singing😊😊 was his style and generosity
the man died in 1977 and he's still making the ladies smile.

Love Me Tender was an Elvis song and the title of his first movie.
Young Elvis was the best!!! Rock and roll. Before he even went in the army was my favorite Elvis era
He was so aware how he affected women. He moved with so much ease. To me Elvis invented swagger!
why is it so imported how he affected women..... He was involved in his music and if the women got affected with his handsomeness, it is just a lateral thing.
I think the killer Jerry Lee Lewis had plenty of swagger back in the 50s.

Britt you get it! That was Elvis magic!
I love your reactions to the greatest entertainer of all time
Muhammad Ali once said they could put all the entertainers together and they still could not come close to what Elvis had.
👁☝️⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡🌋🌋🌋🔥🔥💥💥💪💪💪💯💯💯
Elvis is one of kind !! No one will be like him or ever sing like him
Elvis had that boyish charm til the day he died ... as sick as he was during his last performances , that smile was always there !
He even had that smirky smile when he sang Unchained Melody in Rapid City, SD on June 21, 1977.
The man & his voice were both painfully beautiful!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My friend, your honesty makes me react too....thanks...
Elvis' style was definitely changing at this time, along with his voice (deeper, richer).
Always a joy to watch Elvis!
My beautiful Elvis
It's Amazing when you realize that Elvis' career was only about 21 years long. I believe it was from 1956 to 1977. And almost 50 years after his death he is still capturing fans. I don't think any other performer has had such an impact in such a short time. He once asked one of his associates "Do you think they will remember me when I'm gone." Hard to believe he thought he would be forgotten after all he accomplished.
he was a phenomenon I don't think you will ever see an entertainer with the looks and talent that Elvis had ! just incredible .
1954 to 1977. 23 year career.
And then subtract the time in the military.
I love you and Elvis the king.
If you haven’t already, you absolutely MUST watch Elvis Live In Las Vegas 1970 Suspicious Minds. High energy, dripping sweat, out of breath, playful with the audience and flirting with his backup singers. Can’t wait to watch your face in amazement at what you are witnessing. Guarantee that as soon as your reaction is over, you will watch it again, maybe twice.
You MUST
I absolutely loath Suspicious Minds. So many great Elvis songs, but SM is a repetitive bore fest.

You know what they say about opinions.
Even a$$holes have opinions.
No that’s not it.
Every a$$hole has an opinion.
No, that’s not it either.
An a$$hole’s opinion is for everyone.
Nope, damn it, what is it?
Opinions are like a$$holes, everybody has one.
That’s it!!!
🎈🎊Congratulations on yours!🎊🎈
We are all so happy you came to share!😁
@lechatel I think he was on about it more from a performance perspective than the actual song. My mum hates you've lost that loving feeling (all the boys In school sung it to the girls like they were maverick in top gun) but still appreciates it vocally. She's very pretty so got sung too alot haha.
I was a really young fan. I was born in 1960....
I love to see youngins lol getting it!! keep doing what you are doin
You need to see "Elvis Presley and the Black Community" and how he was censored through out the 50's and only filmed from the waist up. He has truly suffered for his art. I'm from the 50's and it was so segregated he actually broke segregation laws. Thanks for your reaction, great job.
I saw a Johnny Cash interview once or read it. He was talking about his start and how he got to go on the road in the 50’s with Elvis. He said that as soon as his gig was up he’d leave the venue. But, not with Elvis. He said “Everybody stayed for Elvis. He was the show closer. You didn’t wanna miss that for 3 reason. 1.) The girls. He had a cult like following of girls. 2.) Him. There just wasn’t anything like him ever before. He was different. A lot of people thought he was some kind of freak or something. 3.) You wanted to stay because you just never knew what might happen. There were riots at shows and he was receiving death threats in every town we played. I saw it first hand. I remember, standing behind the stage curtain behind him where he couldn’t see me and didn’t know I was there. I’d just watch him. I can close my eyes and see it like it was yesterday. He was all alone. Waiting to go on. I don’t know why he was alone or where the band was but he was just standing there and shaking. He was getting himself worked up like they do in church. I felt sorry for him.”. At this point, in the interview, Cash actually chokes up, and tears fill his eyes and he says “Nobody will ever know, if you weren’t there, and I witnessed firsthand, nobody today will ever know the hatred that man had hurled at him by racists and politicians and preachers and cops and you name it. And he handled it so good but I know it wasn’t easy.”. Cash seemed visibly shaken recalling the memory. When I saw that, it changed my outlook or perspective of him a lot.
@@havrisen6620 Thanks for telling that wonderful story. I knew they liked each other but I never heard this story. Be Blessed.
Yes, they were singing one another’s songs Love Me Tender was Elvis’ song & Witchcraft was Frank’s song. Frank’s youngest daughter, Nancy, who was 18, fell madly in love with Elvis. She said he just made her melt. They were both making movies at the time. Elvis was not allowed to move about too much when being televised. He had had to overcome so much for his love of music, & it cost him dearly, when he was drafted into the army & his most beloved mother had a heart attack & died at the age of 46. Elvis was 22 at the time, & he never got over losing her. His two years serving in tanks in Germany, matured him & curbed the rebel inside of him. It also got him hooked on prescription meds, as the army gave them to the soldiers to keep them awake all night, if they were on duty, as it was very cold in winter in Germany & if they had fallen asleep, they would have got hypothermia. So now, at the age of 24, he is no longer the same young man who was first drafted into the army.
Elvis' voice in the early 60s was smooth like butter. He really had expanded his range and I swear, his sound at that time was the prettiest I've ever heard a man sing. During the army years, he had been working a lot on his vocal technique and breathing and listening to more music like opera, etc. You can definitely hear a change in his voice compared to the 50s recordings. But that's part of what I love about Elvis. His voice changed over time and sang such a variety of songs and styles!
Agree 100%. 1960 to 1966 fantastic. Good after 66 but songs were not strong.
Love me some Elvis!!❤️👑 These reactions are my fave.💕👍🏽👍🏽💪🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You just blow me away with your facial expressions. Fantastic!
ELVIS PRESLEY best forever
Elvis is without doubt the greatest singer to ever graced this earth,u need to actually listen to the studio versions of Fame and Fortune &Stuck on You,his voice control is rather divine its thats smooth&hot its melts butter,I can c your genuine attraction to Elvis and I think it hilarious,this is wat u call a genuine fan.RIP ELVIS&SINATRA
Have you seen any of his videos on RUclips where his vocals are isolated? Truly incredible
@@Myboymyboy1212 yes! And did you see where the vocals expert auto tuned him and it completely flattened out and ruined his voice?!
@@susanmay200 oh really! I know there's a few vids I'm going to have to watch more
Elvis was 6’0” tall and the absolute most gorgeous man ever! Sinatra was singing Elvis’ song Love me tender and Elvis was singing Frank’s song witchcraft. They were very good friends. Loved that you did this reaction!❤
In the middle of Elvis singing career he was drafted in the Army. Apon coming back, he was on the Frank Sintra Show were Frank sang Elvis's song "Love Me Tender" and Elvis sang "Witchcraft" one of the many songs Frank sang. Also, in this clip is comedian Joey Bishop. Frank, Joey along with singers Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and Actor Peter Lawford made up a group called "The Rat Pack".
Elvis was paid $125,000 for 11 minutes of air time for this show. Enormous amount of money for 1960. He earned more than Sinatra, whose show it was. Elvis had gotten such enormous ratings on Ed Sullivan's show that Sinatra said he wanted him on his. Got the biggest rating his TV show ever had the entire season. On Ed Sullivan show, they pulled in 82.5% of the viewing audience in the entire country. Hard to imagine that level of stardom already. Also, BTW, Sinatra demanded that Elvis wear a Tux.
YOU ARE KILLING ME! I LOVE THIS MAN!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ THANK YOU.. HE WAS IN THE ARMY, ELVIS WAS, FRANK WAS A CRUEL MAN IN REAL LIFE . VERY JEALOUSE OF ELVIS!! ❤❤❤❤
I just love your reactions. So real so authentic. He really is all you say. I grew up being a fan. So nice to see a young person enjoying him😊
This is a different side of Elvis. I’ve got two new descriptive words for him in this video, dapper and debonair.
This man had everything!!!
Great reaction; Great video. Frank, the Chairman of the Board and Elvis, The King. The women used to scream for Frank just like they did for Elvis.
Not quite like they did for Elvis. It was much more subdued and much quieter.🤣😂
Britt, I had sent you this request and thank you so much for doing it! I love your channel. Frank’s variety show was a big deal and they were the first to sign Elvis to an appearance after he was discharged from the army. The contract did say he had to wear a tuxedo and to tone it down a little. I think Elvis really wanted to bust loose but couldn’t. This is a great time capsule and Elvis was so FINE!
I’m sure his daughter Nancy having a huge crush on Elvis had zero to do with him being on the show. 😂
@@dollygirl6487 She made it clear on the show that she was thrilled Elvis was there but credits her father with being open minded enough to invite him. She also made it clear her fiancé Tommy Sands wasn’t quite as happy as her dad.
At any age and style Elvis was DDG and the best entertainer ever! Long Live the King!
❤❤❤ Elvis forever.
Once again love your reaction!!!!! You make me laugh and smile. Yeah, Elvis had to be reserved in his moves because of television and the audience these programs reached. They would often do close ups because they were afraid of his "loose legs & hips". Hahaha! He was know as "Elvis the Pelvis". One note, in the second song he sings, Stuck on You, he is singing the lyrics - Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall, Ain't gonna do you no good at all. Cause once I catch ya, and the kissin' starts a team of wild horses couldn't tear us apart. You can see he his fully aware of this presence and power he holds. Pure raw talent! Really enjoy your channel!
Elvis e sinatra juntos no palco, eram cantores de verdade. Hoje náo há cantores como eles.
The most beautiful and smoothest man to walk this planet. Not even a close second. Then add the voice, personality, humor, charisma, kindness, generosity, etc.. the list goes on and on..
This is why Elvis is the King.
AN DEAD AT 42 !!! he had a massive flaw , he was stupid an he inherited bad genetics as his recently deceased child can also atest to , he was beautiful he was the best the world has ever seen but he was dying by 1973 it took a few years but...Tom Parker milked him until his death , pricilla carrys that on an no one stepped in to help.
love your reaction purely impressed
If you like Elvis Presley, and if you ever watched any of his movies, you're gonna love them!
Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall..! Gorgeous man, talented, good heart, charismatic, has rhythm.....too much to name!! Absolutely beautiful, gorgeous man!!!! As close to perfect that you can get!!!
Elvis foi e será sempre o homem mais lindo do mundo 😘❤️👑💫⚡️🇵🇹
Thanks for your time
He had to hold back, sweetheart! The POLICE had threatened to put him in jail...FOR REAL, if he moved from his waist down! I am a 65 year old woman that has followed ELVIS from the time that I could watch t.v. until his untimely DEATH! I was and still am a huge ELVIS fan! He was, is, and always will be the KING of ROCK AND ROLL! He began by revolutionizing MUSIC, and then moved on to revolutionizing SOCIETY! The next thing that you should react to is "Jailhouse Rock"! This is before music videos, but "Jailhouse Rock" is a movie; and the title song was named for the movie! It is PHENOMENOL, SPECTACULAR, GORGEOUS, and a MASTERPIECE for the era it came from! The dancing alone was absolutely unreal, but when you hear ELVIS open his mouth to sing it, you just have to get up and MOVE!!! This song was NEW, SOOOO DIFFERENT, and SUPER COOL!!! PLEASE react to it! I promise that you will NOT regret it! Thank you for a wonderful reaction!
OMG He is the most gorgeous man ever!! Loved the young Elvis. React to Mean Woman Blues and Trouble to see his move. They are from his early movies
Yes Elvis came out and sang as he Teased the audience with a few slight movements. You have to love it! Great reaction as I enjoy your Elvis reactions, tremendously!😊❤️
I adore your reactions to Elvis - your awesome, so sincere and genuine
I had to come back, once more to hear this! It is one of my favorire songs! "Something Blue" is another song from the same time period, that is SPECTACULAR! DOO WOP is the type of music, from the late 50's and early 60's, that you are looking for! It is actually making a comeback!!!
Love Me Tender is one Elvis’ iconic songs. Witchcraft is Sinatra’s song. Both songs are much slower and romantic originally, and are fast paced in this show for fun. Frank turns the slow ballad it to a Sinatra style jazz number and Elvis makes the romantic Witchcraft like a sexy Elvis song.
It was great too hear them both sing Love Me Tender together was amazing.👍
Elvis was the most handsome man to have ever lived. Gorgeous.
Great reaction! And wow, I don't have the time to read through more than 500 comments, but in case it hasn't been mentioned... in those days, Elvis' moves were censured and his earlier TV performances (Before the Army), he was only allowed to be filmed from the waist up. You'll even notice in this performance sometimes the camera suddenly moved to his face even though the audience was screaming about... well, something. That, and the fact that Elvis was on the Sinatra show AND wearing a tuxedo, a far cry from his usual stage attire, probably all contributed to his somewhat "controlled" if you will, performance.
To BrittReacts. I really love your reaction on your face. You got a great SMILE. I LOVE THE WAY YOU TALK ABOUT ELVIS PRESLEY. KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING. ONE OF THE BEST SINGERS IN THE WORLD. THERE WILL NEVER BE OTHER SINGER LIKE HIM AGAIN IN THE WORLD. ONE OF A KIND 😎
Frank was already several years older than Elvis would ever be. 💔
But in his brief time, he gave us music that will last forever. ❤️
He was only 25 years old here. Beautiful
You gotta watch'Elvis and the Black community the echo will never die ' and ' Elvis King of Kindness ' both show what a humble, generous man he was , a man who people not color , a man who got so much pleasure from helping and giving to others , not to make a show of it but just for the shear joy it brought to him .
Elvis held back because it was made clear to him that he had to. Sinatra had a very sensitive ego, and was threatened by Elvis. The old establishment including Sinatra was knocked on their behinds by this supremely talented and exciting new guy. Elvis was paid a fortune to be on the show because the demand for him after the army was overwhelming. Elvis was stunning to look at, moved like a jaguar, could sing all genres beautifully and drive women insane, and Sinatra knew it.
Fantastic reaction 👏👏🌹🌹💐💐
Thank you to whomever requested this one & thank you, Miss Britt, for reacting to this video clip, truly wonderful!
So just to give you some info: "Fame And Fortune" is listed under two genres of music styles: Rock 'n' Roll & Pop.
I know. I thought for sure it was Doo- Wop, too. But apparently it's not.
Doo- Wop itself is a subgenre of R&B, which actually got started in latter half of the 1930's.
It all started with a loop chord progression that was used in such songs like Rogers and Hart's 1934 hit "Blue Moon" and Hoagy Carmichael and Frank Loesser's 1938 "Heart And Soul" (note: these are the names of the songwriters, not the recording artists).
So Doo- Wop composers then took that loop chord progression and varied it slightly but significantly differently that would go on to be very influential and later be known as the "50's progression".
One of the best selling worldwide hits to come out of the early Doo- Wop era is "If I Didn't Care" 1938 recording by The Ink Spots & written by Jack Lawrence (born Jacob Louis Schwartz who was a closeted gay man and son of Russian Jewish immigrants; he and his partner would officially come out as a couple in a New York Times interview in 1968 after having made a sizable charitable donation to the Israel Museum in Jersulem. Jack Lawrence was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1975.)
The Ink Spots were an African- American singing group. The Ink Spots were influential in propelling the early popularity of Doo- Wop.
The Ink Spots were also one of Elvis's favorite singing groups growing up.
Doo- Wop is also noted to have emerged from the East Coast inner- city African- American communities back in the late 1930's/ 1940's.
Doo- Woo reached its pinnacle of popularity worldwide in the 1950's and early 1960's.
This is a VERY over- simplified and chopped down bit of info on Doo- Wop.
Another significant note of classic Doo- Wop songs, I forgot to add, is that they are all about love and they all have a catchy vocal harmonization featured as the back up vocals as well as part of the chorus.
Okay, I think that's it- I do try to give context without getting too bogged down with the details.
Thank you ever so much once again!
TCB ⚡ & TLC ❤ & peace ✌& blessings 🙏 to you & yours & to one & all here as well 💕
Couldn't you just have left the gay men in the closet? And just stated what they wrote? Why was it important for you to mention their blasphemy against God, just curious?
@@texasgirl6000 I mean no disrespect but I do not have the opinion that anyone who is gay/ homosexual as "blasphemous" or "against God".
I do not pretend to know how God feels or what He thinks on anything.
God has never spoken to me. And obviously I have never met Him either.
As for why I chose to include that bit of information: Knowing how gay people were treated by society in those days, I thought it brave of the two men to come out publicly in 1968.
Peace & blessings & I hope you have a lovely day.
@Sammy_ the_ Uncool , you're entitled to your opinion, but the Bible is very clear about same sex situations/ couples, so it's not my opinion it's GOD'S opinion. I don't hate gay people as that is a sin as well....however, I hate the sin and I as a Christian am supposed to call it out for what it is and not condone or support blasphemy. Have a blessed day.
@@texasgirl6000 Deleted my last reply. Upon thinking about it my reply to yours was a bit misleading.
To preface: I have not read the Bible. I have no excuse for that. I grew up in a house with several at my disposal. I did try but I could not get past page 8 because the beginning read almost exactly like the Greek and Roman and Egyptian mythological tales I enjoyed reading as a kid.
But I will say that I do not consider the Bible as the Word of God.
To explain all of the reasons why would be too time consuming.
I do respect your choice to be a Christian and believe the Bible to be the Word of God.
Therefore I respectfully and humbly say that I can believe in God but I cannot claim to know Him.
You have a blessed day as well 💕
So glad you have disvovered the greatness of Elvis Presley. He waws one of the greatest singing voices of all time. Keep following your journeey. You will enjou your journedy beyoun you wildes dreams
Yup
All you have to do is watch to know why he’s an icon
You are so much fun. Love these videos. Thank you
Elvis was like a wild panther in a steamy jungle 🌹❤️🌹💋
Elvis👑 is the only singer in the history of American music that got drafted into the military at the height of his fame!!!! Imagine if Michael Jackson,, Prince ,The Beatles got drafted at the height of their fame,,,if they did,,,they would of been in the Special Services not the Regular Army,,, That's how come, I admire Elvis...am a US Navy Veteran 🇺🇲,,,,Elvis Never forgot where he came from.very humble soul.
Back in the 1990's when I was at the height of my entertainment career I met several guys who actually served with Elvis in the Army & they all had wonderful things to say about him. Like all other veterans they greatly admired how Elvis despite being a mega Star by 1958 actually served alongside all the other soldiers WITHOUT the special treatment & status that celebrities would demand & get. No other superstar would ever do that again in today's elite culture. I had a very close romantic involvement with 1 of Elvis' 1970's GFs & was close to many of Elvis' close friends from high school til his death, family members, & members of his band. As a result of my intimate knowledge & experiences I know Elvis for the actual man he was which was so much deeper than the surface caricature that many people now see him as. There are just so many stories from his high school classmates, his GFs, his close friends that make U really appreciate the actual man he was beyond the image. He was born & raised very poor & despite being the biggest Superstar of all time always had a humbleness to him. It's often true that the Stars that shine brightest burn out the soonest.
Great video to react to. After the army his manager wanted a different image for him after his “rebel years” of the 50’s. Unfortunately it lead to a lot of bad movies and music in the 60’s until the comeback special. The second of his solo songs is one of my most requested to do in my shows. Love it. Great job
Poor Elvis. Col. Parker completely sanitized him throughout most of the 60s until the GREAT Comeback Special in 1968. (Not to mention all t
he horrible movies, with horrible songs, he was forced to make)
Thankful to Steve Binder every day for the Comeback Special. He brought the Panther that EP “manager” locked away back out. ❤️
Fans loved his movies because Elvis was in them
@@maryrowell1122 For sure. They weren't all bad either. He was a good actor too, despite the scripts.
Great reaction as always! No Internet back in 1960! Frank Sinatra hosted a welcome-back show for Elvis who had just returned from the Army. The aspect ratio is a it off in this video so that's why he looks so tall. He was actually 6. It just so happens that a lot of people in the entertainment industry were (and continue to be) short. My 5'6" self can appreciate this. 😃Elvis's voice matured during his two years in the Army. He admired Italian-American crooners like Mario Lanza, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin and during his two year stint he worked with friend Charlie Hodge (who you later see playing acoustic guitar and singing harmony in Elvis's bands). Frank Sinatra was also a big star at this time - but he appealed to an older set of fans. The two of them possess so much swagger. Elvis also developed smoother moves having commenced his study of Karate while in the Army. Imagine how much life Elvis had already experienced since his first appearance on Ed Sullivan and Milton Berle back in 1956. He became an national and international star; his mother died; he was drafted and served in tour in the Army; he met a very young Priscilla. And all during this time, he worried he'd come back and people would have forgotten him. Nope.
The verse is "hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall...ain't gonna do you, no good at all".
I love your Elvis reaction videos 🥰
The two biggest talents of their respective generations. Only Frank could put on a star studded show just to say "Welcome
Home Elvis'. Great clip.
I have to say l love watching you fall in love with Elvis . He is working his magic on you and you are definitely feeling Him
I love the end when they sing each other’s songs. The later 60s and 70s he danced and moved more again. Then if you want heartbreaking, watch him sing Separate Ways. He recorded it while going through his divorce. It’s gut wrenching.
I believe Red West, one of the Memphis Mafia, wrote that song for Elvis. 😢
Enjoyed it.
This was 1960 and elvis had just returned from the army and his voice had changed as it had done so many times in his career but elvis voice in 1960 was at its peak you only have to listen to 4 songs from that year It’s now or never , are you lonesome tonight, surrender and can’t help falling in love 4 of his greatest recordings his voice is spectacular in these songs and you heard it in Fame and Fortune which you reacted to
My dad was an MP in Bremerhaven, W. Germany when Elvis' troopship arrived. It was like the Beatles landing in NYC according to him.
I’m Bobby Esposito, my father, Joe Esposito worked for and was the closest person in the world to Elvis. Any truths you want about Elvis or suggestions, please ask me. I’ll be happy to help. Stay sweet!
B.S. !!!!! JOE had 2 daughters and 1 son - Debbie, Cindy and Anthony -
There is no fucking BOBBY as hi son. Please visit a THERAPIST and stop doing FENTANILO :D
How do your dad and Elvis meet in Korea? Then how did they hit it off to where he came back to work for him in the states?
@@johnedwards5516 my dad originally met Elvis in 1958 in Fort Hood, Texas. They officially meet and became friends in Germany.
Hello Britt your reaction is so beautiful im Elvis fan from 1960 im 73 years old im from the Netherlands you are so enthusiastic i love it thanks voor the videos.👍🏻
Barefoot, Elvis was listed in his army files as 6 feet tall. But stood around 6-2 in shoes or boots. So yeah he looked taller on stage.
+3" of hair 😁
@@louisesmith4251 Yeah that hair was pretty thick.
Great Reaction.
I just can't believe there was a voice like Elvis Presley ! ! !
This fan reaction is coming full circle for Frank Sinatra. When he was a young singer he had all the young girls (Bobby Soxers) were doing the same for Frank and flabbergasting the older generation.
Yes, yes, yes... if you ever stumble on a live recording of a Frank Sinatra concert from 10 years earlier than this video, it's often hard to hear much over the continuously screaming younger ladies, very much like the screams on this recording but nearly continuous... pre-Elvis, pre-Beatles... ol' Blue Eyes had that sort of rabid fandom following as well!
Wasn’t he just the most gorgeous man. So gifted and so missed by millions.
Elvis could sing many genres. The first song was more of a 50’s love ballad. Elvis sang ballads with such gentle tones, it made hearts melt. To answer your question, Elvis was 6 ft tall. Love your Elvis reactions! Frank Sinatra was the very very popular with the ladies in the 40s thru the 60’s, hence the joking about singing each other’s song.
I just love the way that you present your show 😊
The reason Elvis is so 'constrained' is because this is television in the '60s.
Married people always had twin beds and Ed Sullivan could only show Elvis from the waist up.
Welcome to my childhood.
Elvis was 25 when he did this show.
I so enjoyed watching you watch EP. But he had/has that effect on everyone. I do love his performance of Fame and Fortune here. Keep reacting to Elvis!! 😊
Two of the greatest together. And fifteen years earlier the girls were swooning for Frank.
This is one of my favorite songs!!! And he looked absolutely incredible at this time!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Elvis adapted a lot of style from his good friend Jackie Wilson
He sure was a beautiful young man ,perfection
He actually says, "Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall, ain't gonna do ya no, good at all..."
when i am walking outside, listening to music, and comes Love me tender, very minimalist instrumental and so intimate song, just everything gone outside and you are in the moment.
Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall… Love me tender is a very slow romantic Elvis song. Witchcraft is a Frank song. Frank got some screams when he was younger, but EP took it to a new level.
Sinatra is singing Elvis's song, Ellvis is singing Sinatras song..check out Elvis singing Love Me Tender..you'll be glad you did 😍
