He’s been miscast as the king of rock ‘n roll. He was, and will forever be, without question, the king of music. All others are very much lesser luminaries.
The beauty of Elvis is he could do it all he is the only artist that's in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Country Music Hall of Fame the Blues Hall of Fame and Gospel Hall of Fame no other artist is it all of them but what made Elvis Head and Shoulders above everyone else it's when he performed you felt like he performed for you only he constantly ad-lib you never knew what song He was going to play next Never follow the script and did what he wanted to on stage you were in his living room when he was on stage that's what made Elvis very different plus he sang from his heart as one of the backup said the song went through his head down to his gut and out through his heart yes the best if not the greatest of them all
i have been to two of ELVIS concerts back in the 1970 to 1975 ! it is no words to tell you how amazing her was ever concert ! ELVIS was a complete package ! did you know ELVIS solid out with 1 to 2 hours ever concert ? great reaction !
Humble , noble and grateful- just few qualities you would expect from a king ! Elvis had many that resonated through to generations including you and I ,miss him so RIP 🙏🏻
Elvis’ voice evolved through the three decades he was performing, & I would really Love to see you give a Reaction to An American Trilogy in his Aloha from Hawaii Live in Honolulu 1973 concert, which was the First Ever live performance to be beamed via satellite to 36 countries, with over a Billion people watching. I watched him from New Zealand, & it was so amazing to know that Elvis was actually performing on stage while I watched with my wife. And Elvis was Magnificent. So if you want to see why Elvis was called the King, please React to An American Trilogy as above. I have seen Reactors with tears rolling down their cheeks watching that performance. It’s probably my most favourite performance by Elvis.
I was fortunate enough to see him in concert one time with my Mommy. She was finally able to get us some tickets. They used to sell out in about 5 minutes around here. He just mesmerized me. So much charisma. He had just gotten out of the hospital and it was still a great show
The thing about Elvis and rock and roll is that most of the dissing on Elvis is from people who weren’t around in those early rock and roll days of the mid 50s, they never witnessed how much of a bang Elvis was when he broke on the scene Nobody was singing black music on the pop charts other than black R&B artists so Elvis kicked down the racial barriers and Elvis was way above anyone else in the rock genre his music was different it was raw it wasn’t polished with orchestral big band sounds that was popular then, Elvis was different and everyone wanted to be him he changed music he changed fashion he change culture he changed the world and his music was amazing and he had hit after hit and he influenced everyone important in music history He is called the King because it was him that brought rock and roll to the masses we know we had chuck Berry and little Richard but they were not making the same impact Elvis was having and that’s because Elvis was a one in a lifetime musical phenomenon and the hate towards Elvis is from the uneducated who wasn’t there to see it for themselves
The thing is that you are looking back at an Amazing artist who has been dead for 47 years. Personally, I think that only people who were alive back in the 1950s up to 1977, when Elvis died, could actually ‘judge’ that. I think that you have to go with who those people thought was the King of Rock ‘n Roll. You really cannot judge that from 2022, because these are different times musically & in every other way. For those of us who lived while Elvis was a superstar worldwide, we knew him to indeed be the King of Rock ‘n Roll. We were there. I became a fan as a teenager in 1960s, though I had heard Elvis on the radio since the later part of the 1950s. Lots of singers & groups have come & gone, but Elvis has remained, & there is a reason for that. He never liked being called the King, & he actually stopped singing in one of his concerts, when he was called the King & was given a crown by a fan, & he said, “Honey, I’m not the King. There is only one King & that is Jesus Christ. I’m just an entertainer” That megastar was so humble. He never elevated himself. His fans did that, & most of us have remained his fans decades after his death. And there’s a reason for that.
The title of the king of rock and roll belongs to Elvis and only Elvis...Music history has proven that he deserves that title. Before Elvis, you had songs like 'How Much Is That Doggie in the Wndow." When Elvis came on the scene he changed all that. No, Elvis didn't quite invent rock and roll, but he took what little of it there was back then and gave it a whole new sound and style of his own. If it hadn't been for Elvis, rock music probably would have died out back in the 50s . His incredible popularity catapulted rock and roll into the statosphere , thereby opening the doors wide so that others, black and white, could step through and have careers of their own...Many , not all, rode on the coattails of Elvis Presley. That's a fact! NOBODY opened up rock and roll to the masses the way Elvis did. So, for those who are trying to take away the crown of the king of rock and roll from Elvis...You're wasting your time.. It's not going to happen, not now, not ever. His millions, if not billions, of fans throughout the world won't stand for it. ...GO POUND TAR!
men and women loved him! I think partially because he was so down to earth. he wasn't full of pride, very humble person. as poor as he was as a kid, I heard when he got saved he gave away his comic books. he spent his life giving away cars, etc. ; to strangers. he never forgot his own roots. just a lovely human being!
Elvis had a truly god given gift, he could sing all kinds of stuff and make it sound incredible, he has made slot of gospel songs and they are incredible.
Well....Elvis sold more records than any other entertainer in History, he outsold the Beatles, and produced over 750 songs -most ever, and the list goes on, and on.
Let's put it this way; if Rock n Roll was inspired by rhythm and blues then Elvis was the student that excelled to the top of his class. Personally; I liked Elvis ballads more than his early hits! He was the most versatile entertainer on the planet and not bad on the eyes!
I was around 8 years old when I heard on the news that he died. I ran to my mom, who was doing laundry, and broke the news to her. She was shocked and stopped was she was doing and just sat down and cried. I'll never forget that.
The 68 comeback special that this clip is from really showcases Elvis' musical talent. People had forgotten just how powerful of a performer he was while he was making movies in the early 60's, but when he came out in black leather and rocked out with just two guitars and a drummer using a guitar case as the drum set, people were gobsmacked. All of his rock n roll hits, but Elvis only won awards for his gospel albums.
"Oozed talent"? He was blessed with a voice and good looks. Talent is where? Couldn't write, couldn't play any instruments, I like Elvis but he certainly did not ooze talent.
I have to say and I didn't believe it at first, but after listening to the whole Presley catalogue, Elvis Presley is the great popular singer in history! Great channel and insights, too, my friend!!!
I went to see elvis in 1976 in vegas. I have seen many vegas shows but at the Elvis show there was so much electricity in the room. Beside the show itself being great I was so excited by that electricity I didn't sleep a wink that night after the show.!!!
You got it so correct...he's versatile. He's actually turned out to be the most versatile artists anywhere and of all times. He did Rock and Roll, Rhythm and Blues, Country, Pop, Gospel, Ballads, and everything. Good catch.
"He was just that great. He was not one-dimensional." You are so right. Elvis was like a human jukebox; he was so versatile that he sounded great singing just about every genre. Who else could go from gospel to country to soul to funk to pop to rock 'n' roll to blues etc? As you yourself recognised, he had his own style and the man could definitely sing - no autotune, just raw talent which was never better displayed than in this 68 Comeback Special. Trying To Get To You is a standout among many standouts. It's always a pleasure to watch you watch Elvis; you get that smile of wonder on your face and you make very pertinent observations.
I'm 85 years old. I seen ELVIS in 1956 and 1957 and 1975. First off nobody since or now has come close to Elvis. 56 and 57 was wild. I say it was like magic in the air. The way he moved and sang. All the women climbed over chairs and rushed the stage. The women never stopped yelling. ELVIS never ran out of energy. He was always polite when he talked between songs. When it was over nobody left. They kept yelling for him. In 1975 he shook the arena. Everyone on their feet singing with him. Flash bulbs went off so much I'd lose sight of the stage. Middle of the concert ELVIS brought out fats domino. The crowd went wild. I remember fats was sitting on the piano bench and Elvis sat with him and the song was blueberry hill. They laughed together and when it was over Elvis said ladies and gentleman the great fats domino. I was close enough after they hugged fats tapped him on the chest and said I love you brother and Elvis said I love you too with the famous Elvis smile and fats raised his hand and waved at the crowd as he walked off stage. When it was over nobody left. People kept clapping and yelling Elvis. That's the first time and only time I heard ELVIS has left the building. For the people who saw ELVIS in person you will never forget it for the people that weren't lucky enough to see him you missed the greatest show on earth as Tom Hank's says in the movie.
Put up the Elvis Song, Lord you gave me a Mountain, it's another Beautiful Song with Amazing Vocals, an I'm from Eastern Canada listened to Elvis all my life, as well As other Great Artists Black an White, from the past to now, but Elvis is my all time Favorite , Thanks Man for your Great Program
When I was a little girl, my first Elvis tape I bought was at a garage sale and I bought his gospel tape, and I listened to it over and over. His gospel is truly inspiring
@@bemused9522 Thank God for the garage sale, right? But i made a similar experience. When i was about 14 years old i saved my pocket money. And i brought an Elvis music cassette with different songs and genres on it. I played it night and day. And even when i haven't a tape deck anymore, i still have his MC. I guess because of sentimental reasons.
Elvis had the whole package. Voice looks. Moves.sang rock n roll .blues .country gospel .Rock a Billy. And is the only artist in all 5 hall of fames.and sold over a billion records. And is still relevant today.
Yes I think it was that time or another similar time when he’s response was “thank you but Jesus Christ is the only King” what a great answer from a great man.
I saw him in concert back in the 70's year or 2 before he died. The stadium was packed. And when Elvis came out. It was like a earthquake erupting. It was amazing. Majority of the women were fighting each other in the isles trying to get close to the stage, to get pictures. The whole concert was great though. His vocals & the singing was off the charts. But I think the end song was so AWESOME, HURT. He sang it twice. The first time was so good. Then the second time, Outstanding. OMG, It made the hairs on my body stand up & the stadium felt like it was going to collapse. His voice, everything felt like it vibrated the entire stadium. Here comes the shattering earthquake I told my family & it was. Never seen anyone like Elvis since. I believe no will ever come close to what he did & what he represented. Only 1 Elvis 🎸🎶 🎹🎶🌹💞
He’s in the Rock & roll Hall of fame, R&B Hall of fame, Gospel Hall of Fame and the Country Hall of Fame. That’s how many genres he sang. Thanks for showing this. God bless. One time a group of girls at his concert holding up a sign saying Elvis is the King. He stopped and told them there was only one King , the one above. They got embarrassed and took down the sign but he was nice enough to say it’s ok. Don’t be embarrassed. I knew what you meant & went out of his way so they wouldn’t feel mortified.
ELVIS COVERED IT ALL ..... I was there in concert ..... He still is and al-ways will be .... Welcome to the magical world of Elvis Aron Presley .... {BEWARE and be PA-PAIRED} ....

You can even claim others his equal or his better .... But every time the dust settles .... Elvis is still king .... God said .... And that .... That there is something you just cannot change .... Can't be done .... Elvis won the world over with his abilities ..... Far above mortal man ..... Able to leap high notes in a single breath .... Or blow the roof off with some low tone tornadic whirlwind of a grinding persuasion flowing out of him with the greatest of ease ....To start a song off as if it would be soft and sweet .... Only to have it end up taking you up to high heaven and beyond .... Making you think .... What the hell just happened .... Was that earthbound what you just heard and saw .... Or direct from up above that .... God sent just for me .... Yes sir .... Whatever you do .... DO NOT TRY TO OUTRUN .... THE POWERFUL SOUNDS COMING OUT OF HIM .... No sir It's those powerful sounds coming out of him .... That His tornadic voice creates .... Winds that can blow you into others around you .... Into laps of perfect strangers ....

As he can change direction quickly Vocally .... And send you to La-La land in an instant ..... Hell .... He's been known to lift up people in cars and trucks .... Even houses and toss them into happiness within one note .... So hold on man ..... Elvis is king .... Borrowed talent from God himself as history has proven it 73 YEARS AND COUNTING .... Once in a while God sends a mes-sager to his people .... Elvis was one such mes-sager .... Mankind can try to change it and proclaim some-one his equal or better if they want .... BUT God already said .... Like I said son .... That is something that you just can not change .... The man had everyone {Including Me} .... looking up on the stage as we wanted to watch every move and listen to every sound he made .... Yes sir .... I saw Elvis live .... And I will tell you right now that hearing him on CD's or Records or seeing him on TV or here on you-tube .... I can tell you right now .... It is nothing like seeing him in person .... Take it x1000 to that him In person .... He was that Absolutely fantastic ...... He was like the Suction of a f-5 tornado .... Once in his grip .... You are a fan .... PERIOD .... And so as you are determined to jump into the whirlwinds created by the king himself .... WE BID YOU GOOD LUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY AND WELCOME ABOARD .... SO NOW THAT YOU ARE BEING OFFICIALLY SUCKED INTO THE F-5 WHIRLWIND TORNADO .... Going by the name Elvis Aron Presley .... Please above all .... Keep hands .... Arms ....And legs inside your seat at all times .... To avoid hitting nearby .... Supporters .... People .... And other objects .... Try to Sit properly in your seat without twisting around .... kneeling .... Or otherwise rearranging your body in a way that may compromise the effectiveness of the safety restraints built -in ....

And he did them better than ANYONE .... ANYONE ELSE COULD .... PERIOD .... No Brag .... Just Fact .... BIG
His voice in this particular show was so raw and true,(no Auto tune or filters used here), just pure honest Elvis. Leaves me breathless in a very good way!!!! 🤩🤩🎵🎙🎸💘💘💝💝
Elvis is the "Best thing" that ever happened to music and our culture (Rock and Roll, Rythm and Blues, Country, Gospel...The way we dress, the way we talk; everything MAN!). He'll forever be the KING💯👍
He was so versatile had to be the most beautiful and sexist man ever he was such a heart throb he was so humble he had it all the Goat never been another one like him what a legend if only I'd been lucky enough to have seen Elvis perform be an experience never to be forgotten thank god for youtube internet dvds and all his music the legend will always live on thank you for posting this reaction stay safe 😷😎✌👍
Exactly, Rome. You describe his versatility and that's why this title "King of Rock'n Roll" has puzzled me for most of my life. In the past few years he was "King of Music" for me and recently I think maybe the best title for him is "King of Heart and Soul". If I remember correctly, Roy Orbison once said about Elvis: "He was the firstest with the mostest". And that's why no one will ever come close to him. All of that, plus his humbleness, definitely makes him the G.O.A.T.
Hi Rome Lite, A couple of months ago I was watching Muhammad Ali talk about Elvis Presley. And information about he and Elvis I couldn't believe!!! Ali and Elvis we're really sincere friends... Elvis came to Ali and I'm not feeling well and sick tired of everything. I’m paraphrasing, Ali invited Elvis to stay at his training camp. interesting reading. Also Jackie Willson, please check it out. Oh yes did not like to be called The King!!!
Can you imagine if they had Internet back then? MTV, ETC. he sold his records by word of mouth and hearing him on the radio! There was no one ever who sang Country, Rock and Roll, Pop, Blues, and Gospel!
Elvis is really the king of all genres of music, he could have sung opera with training. His voice was natural he had no singing lessons. He's in all the Halls of Fame. Add to that the most handsome man to walk this earth, charisma. Stage presence and what have you got PERFECTION. There'll never be another This is 1968, 53 years ago, might even be before your parents were born.....
I went to an Elvis concert and it was so special. He sang a great selection of his songs. Even though our seats weren't close to him my friend and I both felt as though he was singing to us. The audience was in awe. The best concert I have ever attended.
Elvis didn’t do small intimate concerts. When you see him in this type of setting, it’s a television special. He was the first to do a live concert telecast by satellite all over the world in 1973 from Hawaii. This clip is from his 1968 television special that came to be known The Comeback Special because he’d been making movies for several years and then started doing concerts again.
He was the GOAT! This one, Suspicious Minds and In The Ghetto are my three favorites but all of them from him are magical! He had it all! My mother absolutely LOVED Elvis so I've listened to him since I was a baby! ♥️
You should see the entire ‘68 Comeback Special on DVD/Blu-ray! He was in prime form singing - and looks - then. For the 50th Anniversary of this iconic TV special, this showed in movie theaters. So good! My very first concert was Elvis at the Houston Rodeo when I was a kid. It was the “white jumpsuit Elvis” era.
Love it‼️ He is a fab singer..I love his strong sexy sultry voice‼️He was a wonderful caring person..handsome and sexy too😍 He had it all.. Yes I agree his music was not one dimensional..he was so versatile..a great talent‼️
He’s been miscast as the king of rock ‘n roll. He was, and will forever be, without question, the king of music. All others are very much lesser luminaries.
The beauty of Elvis is he could do it all he is the only artist that's in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Country Music Hall of Fame the Blues Hall of Fame and Gospel Hall of Fame no other artist is it all of them but what made Elvis Head and Shoulders above everyone else it's when he performed you felt like he performed for you only he constantly ad-lib you never knew what song He was going to play next Never follow the script and did what he wanted to on stage you were in his living room when he was on stage that's what made Elvis very different plus he sang from his heart as one of the backup said the song went through his head down to his gut and out through his heart yes the best if not the greatest of them all
Now my favorite performance!!!👏👏👏👏
First unplugged session on TV.
EP was always ahead of his time
Elvis is the best!! Love your reaction.
Elvis is the goat. No one will come close
Reaches into his soul 🙏 🙏 🙏
Pulled him outta his chair ‼️💯❣️
#Elvus
That is why he is the KING of rock and roll
i have been to two of ELVIS concerts back in the 1970 to 1975 ! it is no words to tell you how amazing her was ever concert ! ELVIS was a complete package ! did you know ELVIS solid out with 1 to 2 hours ever concert ? great reaction !
My man Elvis beautiful inside and out
Humble , noble and grateful- just few qualities you would expect from a king ! Elvis had many that resonated through to generations including you and I ,miss him so RIP 🙏🏻

Pure CHARISMA!!

Well....Elvis sold more records than any other entertainer in History, he outsold the Beatles, and produced over 750 songs -most ever, and the list goes on, and on.
Yes Elvis is the King of Rocking Roll. Very spiritual
Elvis is considered the king of r+r because he helped bring all music people and songs to gether for all to injoy.
You are so perceptive I've been an Elvis fan since 1956, and you observe things about the man that I never even considered. God's love my man.
Let's put it this way; if Rock n Roll was inspired by rhythm and blues then Elvis was the student that excelled to the top of his class. Personally; I liked Elvis ballads more than his early hits! He was the most versatile entertainer on the planet and not bad on the eyes!
Elvis was Elvis. No one had it like him.
The comeback special is the all-around greatest singing performance of all time.
LOVE your reaction watching this!
He would perform gospel songs in his concerts! Who does that? What a performer!
Elvis can sing any song u throw at him.
I was around 8 years old when I heard on the news that he died. I ran to my mom, who was doing laundry, and broke the news to her. She was shocked and stopped was she was doing and just sat down and cried. I'll never forget that.
All I will say right now he is one of a kind love his music .the baby boomers were there when he just started , he is awesome.
I never saw him live. But when he came out on TV at that time was so so special.
King Elvis is the best all of time Re Elvis il migliore di ogni epoca 🎸🎤🎼🎵🎤🎸🎼🎵
The 68 comeback special that this clip is from really showcases Elvis' musical talent. People had forgotten just how powerful of a performer he was while he was making movies in the early 60's, but when he came out in black leather and rocked out with just two guitars and a drummer using a guitar case as the drum set, people were gobsmacked. All of his rock n roll hits, but Elvis only won awards for his gospel albums.
You can't not like Elvis. He oozed talent and soul.
"Oozed talent"? He was blessed with a voice and good looks. Talent is where? Couldn't write, couldn't play any instruments, I like Elvis but he certainly did not ooze talent.
I have to say and I didn't believe it at first, but after listening to the whole Presley catalogue, Elvis Presley is the great popular singer in history! Great channel and insights, too, my friend!!!
Great stuff. Thank you for sharing.
raw power...
That's why he is the king beacuse he could do it all
Unmatched... no one will ever be as big as elvis. He is king. The best of all time...
Elvis is simply the best. You should listen to some of his gospel songs. He could sing anything
I went to see elvis in 1976 in vegas. I have seen many vegas shows but at the Elvis show there was so much electricity in the room. Beside the show itself being great I was so excited by that electricity I didn't sleep a wink that night after the show.!!!

When it was over nobody left. People kept clapping and yelling Elvis. That's the first time and only time I heard ELVIS has left the building. For the people who saw ELVIS in person you will never forget it for the people that weren't lucky enough to see him you missed the greatest show on earth as Tom Hank's says in the movie.
Bravo on your reaction! Yes they are ALL Elvis. This is how we rocked when Elvis came into his whole self as a MAN and performer.
First song in front of a live audience in 10 years.
Elvis iIS THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL. He's not THE KING OF HEAVEN JESUS IS. Hes the best performer,singer humanitarian ever.

Man for your Great
Program
Promise you if you listen to Elvis singing Gospel songs you will be amazed man. He is the full package .
When I was a little girl, my first Elvis tape I bought was at a garage sale and I bought his gospel tape, and I listened to it over and over. His gospel is truly inspiring

Thank God for the
garage sale, right?
But i made a similar experience. When i was about 14 years old i saved my pocket money. And i brought an Elvis music cassette with different songs and genres on it.
I played it night and day.
And even when i haven't a tape deck anymore, i still have his MC.
I guess because of sentimental reasons.
Killer performance
Spot on brother . The. Most diversified singer ever. He could sing any genre of music.
Elvis had the whole package. Voice looks. Moves.sang rock n roll .blues .country gospel .Rock a Billy. And is the only artist in all 5 hall of fames.and sold over a billion records. And is still relevant today.
Elvis hated to be called the king. At a concert someone gave him a crown, he just carried it off stage. Never put it on & never would.💞💞💞💞💞
Yes I think it was that time or another similar time when he’s response was “thank you but Jesus Christ is the only King” what a great answer from a great man.
I saw him in concert back in the 70's year or 2 before he died. The stadium was packed. And when Elvis came out. It was like a earthquake erupting. It was amazing. Majority of the women were fighting each other in the isles trying to get close to the stage, to get pictures. The whole concert was great though. His vocals & the singing was off the charts. But I think the end song was so AWESOME, HURT. He sang it twice. The first time was so good. Then the second time, Outstanding. OMG, It made the hairs on my body stand up & the stadium felt like it was going to collapse. His voice, everything felt like it vibrated the entire stadium. Here comes the shattering earthquake I told my family & it was. Never seen anyone like Elvis since. I believe no will ever come close to what he did & what he represented. Only 1 Elvis 🎸🎶 🎹🎶🌹💞
He’s in the Rock & roll Hall of fame, R&B Hall of fame, Gospel Hall of Fame and the Country Hall of Fame. That’s how many genres he sang. Thanks for showing this. God bless. One time a group of girls at his concert holding up a sign saying Elvis is the King. He stopped and told them there was only one King , the one above. They got embarrassed and took down the sign but he was nice enough to say it’s ok. Don’t be embarrassed. I knew what you meant & went out of his way so they wouldn’t feel mortified.
I am one that would have left my significant other for him for sure!!!!!! LOL He is FIRE!
hi from chile love elis music
ELVIS COVERED IT ALL ..... I was there in concert ..... He still is and al-ways will be .... Welcome to the magical world of Elvis Aron Presley .... {BEWARE and be PA-PAIRED} .... To have songs done with styles and smoothness that screams out with soul that you never thought possible .... That is till you run into Elvis .... And according to Graceland .... He officially recorded exactly 769 songs .... So Let's See how the hell he is so good .... It go's like this .... As I have seen Elvis live and a list of many other bands live and in concerts .... BUT NONE comes ANYWHERE CLOSE.... To the power that Elvis generates .... Elvis sucks your soul in and then sends it back out making you feel more powerful than a locomotive ....making you focus on one thing .... HIM .... Here go's
The difference .... Between Elvis and rest .... Goes like this .... I have seen Sammy Hagar live .... Bob Seger .... AC-DC .... Black Oak .... Matelica .... The Beatles .... Pink Floyd .... Cher .... And many .... Many Others .... Going to see Elvis and the rest including now- a- days so called concerts is at .... At all of them the crowds were there for Drinking .... Getting Stoned .... Trying to get high as a kite .... And trying to stay that way though the night by passing Bottles and Joint's and other stuff around .... HELL .... The air was full of smoke .... And loud .... You could not even hear anything being said on stage the only thing that drowned out the crowd's noise was the music .... As most were Not really there for the Artist them-self .... But to get wasted .... Not the show .... Or the band them-self .... Mostly just to get F***Up ....
BUTT .... At the Elvis concert .... People stayed in their seat's and it was Quiet when Elvis said anything or sang or .... Hell just moved around .... You could hear everything and see everything he did..... That son.... Is the true Impact that Elvis Aron Presley had here Planet Earth .... You can .... Fight it .... Argue it .... Cuss at it .... Disagree with it .... Be Jealous of it .... You can even claim others his equal or his better .... But every time the dust settles .... Elvis is still king .... God said .... And that .... That there is something you just cannot change .... Can't be done .... Elvis won the world over with his abilities ..... Far above mortal man ..... Able to leap high notes in a single breath .... Or blow the roof off with some low tone tornadic whirlwind of a grinding persuasion flowing out of him with the greatest of ease ....To start a song off as if it would be soft and sweet .... Only to have it end up taking you up to high heaven and beyond .... Making you think .... What the hell just happened .... Was that earthbound what you just heard and saw .... Or direct from up above that .... God sent just for me .... Yes sir .... Whatever you do .... DO NOT TRY TO OUTRUN .... THE POWERFUL SOUNDS COMING OUT OF HIM .... No sir
It's those powerful sounds coming out of him .... That His tornadic voice creates ....
Winds that can blow you into others around you .... Into laps of perfect strangers .... Causing turned over popcorn .... Spilled drinks .... Stepped on candy bars .... Hell .... Even screaming in your ears .... Both of them .... All at once .... Coming from both sides .... Even from the front and back of you ....Thousands of Pictures being taken .... Even at hundreds of feet away .... Maybe even thousands .... Blinding you the whole time .... But man .... look-Out .... As he can change direction quickly Vocally .... And send you to La-La land in an instant ..... Hell .... He's been known to lift up people in cars and trucks .... Even houses and toss them into happiness within one note .... So hold on man ..... Elvis is king .... Borrowed talent from God himself as history has proven it 73 YEARS AND COUNTING .... Once in a while God sends a mes-sager to his people .... Elvis was one such mes-sager .... Mankind can try to change it and proclaim some-one his equal or better if they want .... BUT God already said .... Like I said son .... That is something that you just can not change .... The man had everyone {Including Me} .... looking up on the stage as we wanted to watch every move and listen to every sound he made .... Yes sir .... I saw Elvis live .... And I will tell you right now that hearing him on CD's or Records or seeing him on TV or here on you-tube .... I can tell you right now .... It is nothing like seeing him in person .... Take it x1000 to that him In person .... He was that Absolutely fantastic ...... He was like the Suction of a f-5 tornado .... Once in his grip .... You are a fan .... PERIOD .... And so as you are determined to jump into the whirlwinds created by the king himself .... WE BID YOU GOOD LUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY AND WELCOME ABOARD .... SO NOW THAT YOU ARE BEING OFFICIALLY SUCKED INTO THE F-5 WHIRLWIND TORNADO .... Going by the name Elvis Aron Presley .... Please above all .... Keep hands .... Arms ....And legs inside your seat at all times .... To avoid hitting nearby .... Supporters .... People .... And other objects .... Try to Sit properly in your seat without twisting around .... kneeling .... Or otherwise rearranging your body in a way that may compromise the effectiveness of the safety restraints built -in .... Which is the arm rests .... Seat belts .... Or a handrail or any other form of safety device if equipped .... or you may just end up holding on to any other life forms in your area .... After all they too are being sucked up too .... Or hell .... You may just have to just hang on for dear life on your own .... Above all .... Enjoy the ride ... And so here is another gift from the king .... Elvis Presley - " Life " .... ruclips.net/video/T4cWkMXrGjo/видео.html ....
{{ Elvis did EXACTLY 769 songs }} .... And he did them better than ANYONE .... ANYONE ELSE COULD .... PERIOD .... No Brag .... Just Fact .... BIG
😱 Be still my heart!
Elvis wasnt just rock n roll he was gospel country rock blues the whole thing. His catalogue is 800 songs or more.
Absolutely. He was perfection. Muhammad Ali thought he was the king too.
Elvis was as humble as they come. That's why he didn't want to be called king and that's exactly why he is The King to me!😍🤩❤
Love me and Burning Love in Vegas is a must hear
Simply ...Wow!
Lovely Elvis!🤗🌹😁
Elvis was the king of music he had a very unique nice voice even when speaking
His voice in this particular show was so raw and true,(no Auto tune or filters used here), just pure honest Elvis. Leaves me breathless in a very good way!!!! 🤩🤩🎵🎙🎸💘💘💝💝
He was incredibly versatile, anything form rock to gospel, to blues, and everything in between.
Versatility is the key word. Don't think there has ever been an artist as "wide" Elvis.
Elvis is the "Best thing" that ever happened to music and our culture (Rock and Roll, Rythm and Blues, Country, Gospel...The way we dress, the way we talk; everything MAN!). He'll forever be the KING💯👍
He was so versatile had to be the most beautiful and sexist man ever he was such a heart throb he was so humble he had it all the Goat never been another one like him what a legend if only I'd been lucky enough to have seen Elvis perform be an experience never to be forgotten thank god for youtube internet dvds and all his music the legend will always live on thank you for posting this reaction stay safe 😷😎✌👍
I seen elvis live twice in mid seventy s.when they say elvis has left the building. Us fans would just about cry
You get it!!! E L V I S
Exactly, Rome. You describe his versatility and that's why this title "King of Rock'n Roll" has puzzled me for most of my life. In the past few years he was "King of Music" for me and recently I think maybe the best title for him is "King of Heart and Soul". If I remember correctly, Roy Orbison once said about Elvis: "He was the firstest with the mostest". And that's why no one will ever come close to him. All of that, plus his humbleness, definitely makes him the G.O.A.T.
I love my Earth Cousin
He grew up beyond poor and poverty. He was humble. It was the best. I love his movies and music. 🎶🎶✌️
Hi Rome Lite, A couple of months ago I was watching Muhammad Ali talk about Elvis Presley. And information about he and Elvis I couldn't believe!!! Ali and Elvis we're really sincere friends... Elvis came to Ali and I'm not feeling well and sick tired of everything. I’m paraphrasing, Ali invited Elvis to stay at his training camp. interesting reading. Also Jackie Willson, please check it out. Oh yes did not like to be called The King!!!
Yes! So exciting!
Saw him 1955 and 1973 in Atlanta Georgia
If you haven't heard Kentucky Rain, you're missing out on something. He's great on almost anything.
Elvis is the KIng of RealiTy'
Can you imagine if they had Internet back then? MTV, ETC. he sold his records by word of mouth and hearing him on the radio! There was no one ever who sang Country, Rock and Roll, Pop, Blues, and Gospel!
Elvis is really the king of all genres of music, he could have sung opera with training. His voice was natural he had no singing lessons. He's in all the Halls of Fame.
Add to that the most handsome man to walk this earth, charisma. Stage presence and what have you got PERFECTION.
There'll never be another
This is 1968, 53 years ago, might even be before your parents were born.....
I went to an Elvis concert and it was so special. He sang a great selection of his songs. Even though our seats weren't close to him my friend and I both felt as though he was singing to us. The audience was in awe. The best concert I have ever attended.
Elvis didn’t do small intimate concerts. When you see him in this type of setting, it’s a television special. He was the first to do a live concert telecast by satellite all over the world in 1973 from Hawaii. This clip is from his 1968 television special that came to be known The Comeback Special because he’d been making movies for several years and then started doing concerts again.
He was the GOAT! This one, Suspicious Minds and In The Ghetto are my three favorites but all of them from him are magical! He had it all! My mother absolutely LOVED Elvis so I've listened to him since I was a baby! ♥️
Not “if I can dream?”
@@wallflowerj6013 well I love that one too and all his other stuff but nope those are my top 3!
Elvis in Hawaii live Great
You should see the entire ‘68 Comeback Special on DVD/Blu-ray! He was in prime form singing - and looks - then. For the 50th Anniversary of this iconic TV special, this showed in movie theaters. So good! My very first concert was Elvis at the Houston Rodeo when I was a kid. It was the “white jumpsuit Elvis” era.
👍you’re so right versatile, he could take his voice anywhere
Elvis brought Rock & Roll to the masses………..Whether he was first or not it was him that had to break the barriers in order to make it mainstream
I'm pretty sure Elvis was singing all his songs just to me. He seemed to make us all feel that way
Love it‼️ He is a fab singer..I love his strong sexy sultry voice‼️He was a wonderful caring person..handsome and sexy too😍 He had it all.. Yes I agree his music was not one dimensional..he was so versatile..a great talent‼️
Rock & Roll, Blues, Pop, Country, R&B, Gospel ... Elvis did it all.
There wouldn’t have been R&R without Elvis. That’s just a fact.❤️🤘🏻
