Elvis presley the king the ultimate performer

Definitely see the movie Elvis!! Saw it 3 times and Austin Butler is phenomenal
💕💕💕💕A legend in his own time... WOW!💕💕💕💕
the king for all time. i love Elvis!
The greatest generation
From his '68 Comeback Special, please do "Jailhouse Rock" and-"Tiger Man"!! Elvis was sheer perfection in every way!!🎶🎸🎵
That was how spontaneous he was. He often echoed himself. Check Burning Love from Aloha from Hawaii.
Over early Elvis,!!. Noone had seen anything like him.

Yesterday , today , tomorrow . 😚 that's the way it is . Hang loose everyone 🤙✌. From Diane in chicago , april 7 2023 . 🥰❤ My sexy Baby ...... ELVIS .
Greatest entertainer ever
Glad to see you enjoying Elvis. Don't believe everything you see in the 2022 Elvis biopic. There are a couple other older movies that do better telling his life story. But it's the music, listening to him being himself, with other talented musicians, that is the real big story.
The movie is pretty good. A few things are very exaggerated and some timelines are off but it really tells most of the story.
He choreographed his moves in his movies but other than that it was whatever he felt like doing in the moment a lot of times.
Always did what he felt. They never knew he was going to do this last part His singers didnt know on this one
He did just move to the music, however, in the movie Jailhouse Rock, he did the choreography for the jail house scene
That last slow bit was not rehearsed. The band said that they were so confused, and they just went with it by watching Elvis. His bandmates once said that we don’t keep time in our heads we keep Time by watching Elvis’s butt lol.
Elvis soo coool😂👍
Memphis beat forever 💪
Yes this dude was COOL!
Leiber and Stoller wrote Hound Dog for Big Mama Thornton. The lyrics were written for a woman and also were very provocative. She was a blues singer. Leiber and Stoller wrote a different version for Elvis- cleaned up! Sorry, I keep adding to my post. Elvis did not choreograph his moves, just did what he felt. For this performance, Elvis added the slowed down part after the song was over. The guys just followed him! If you listen to interviews with DJ Fontana, the drummer, he said they just followed him. Elvis mixed it up, however he felt.
You really should record a reaction while watching "If I Can Dream" where he is wearing the white suit. It is my (and many others') favourite! It was his tribute to MLK.
My parents were teenagers and watched this with their parents on tv the night this aired. My grandparents loved it. Of course we’re from the South so my grandparents saw this as a Southern kid making the big time
More Elvis please!!!
A lot of people thought he was black before he was seen. And a lot didn't like what they saw. You should watch Elvis and the black community. Also the interview with his childhood friend Mr Sam Bell. You'll get to know him so much better. Really amazing man on so many levels
You're right, the band was finishing the song as usual, and then Elvis surprised them and did a longer slow down version, that they weren't expecting, but they knew Elvis and went with it.
They first heard( we) elvis on radio . He tore up radio stations lines. They called in to request elvis singing before seeing him.
You can get love me tender from the same show as , youve lost this loving feeling 1970 las vegas
No choreography. Just Elvis bring Elvis!
My parents thought he was cute. They liked him. I was 12 and he was fun. 😃
I think it`s great that you dive deeper into Elvis the artist, his background, the origin of the songs, and so on. I think it`s far more interesting to watch reactions when reactors know what they`re talking about because they understand the lyrics, what it`s about, and what its origins are.
You have a gem of a wife. How nice that she inspired you to go down the Elvis rabbit hole because it`s worth it. I must know, I`ve been an Elvis fan for 46 yrs. And once you fall in love with his art, it`s a love that lasts forever :))) Too many people know very little about him, and their ignorance literally forces them to make fun of him or belittle him. The Elvis impersonators created a lot of damage to Elvis`s image and many black people wronged Elvis by repeating lies about him. I think it`s time to put things right and all you people who react to Elvis help to clear his name, image, and his history. Being an Elvis fan is like a religion. Elvis did so many good things for others and his respective and loving attitude toward other people inspired many Elvis fans to imitate him in that. That`s why I strongly believe that Elvis made this world a better place.
Thank you for your reactions and friendly greetings from Slovenia :)
Great comment❤❤❤❤❤
please check out some of Elvis‘s bios. They’re incredible , he was so humble.
Thats Elvis doin different as he felt' Thank you. Made my day.
… Elvis was the first and the best! ... A millennial singer for the ages ... J. Lennon put it best ... "Before Elvis there was nothing." 🕺🏻✨💎✨🕯 Thank you
I was 6 years old when this aired. My older sister, who was 15, and her best friend sat right in front of the TV, squealing with glee. Like others here, I recall that many older folks thought his gyrations were scandalous, obviously because he emulated sexual moves, and yes, the cameramen on the Ed Sullivan Show version were ordered to keep the cameras on him from the waist up, only. I watched that one the night it aired also. He drove the girls and even older women absolutely wild with frenzy.
Elvis was the King and still is the King. There has never been another singer-performer like him.
Elvis often does his own back up singing. One of my favorites that spot lights this is Burning Love in Aloha from Hawaii. In one interview he says “ that’s what we did before having his back up singers. When he started recording they brought in The Jordenairs.
Well yeah, he was the sexiest man to ever walk the earth. Thanks for your reaction.
The truth is elvis was in vegas in 56 where he saw a group doing hound dog . That's the version elvis sings not mama Thornton take on it
Thanks for this reaction. I am almost 80 and grew up in the 50's. He was everything to a teenage girl, and he is still a special man. Please do 2 great reactions to "Elvis Presley King of Kindness". And "Elvis Presley and the Black Community". This tell you a lot about his goodness and spirituality . He was born so poor 1935, his still born twin brother was buried in a shoebox. He has sold more gospel than any single artist in the world. He has been misunderstood. I am a child of the 50's and I am almost 80, I saw him 2 times in concert, I will never forget it. Thanks and Be Blessed
I'm so glad you reacted to this 'extended' version clip from the Milton Berle show rather than when he performed "Hound Dog" on the Ed Sullivan show. It shows so much more of Elvis's personality....not to mention the slowed down ending. Absolutely loving your reactions to Elvis! Thank you.
❤❤❤the slowed part…
It’s dubbed but his dance moves are better too! He goes up on his toes a few times, swoon! ❤
Everything Elvis sang, said or did was from the bottom of his heart! He was a very generous human being!!! So sexy, so classy, so humble and so very very talented! I saw him in concert Ft. Worth TX late in his career/life. A story goes he bought Teddy Roosevelts yacht then gave it to charity to auction off! Love from a fellow Texan!!!
FDR yacht I think. He gave the yacht to Danny Thomas to raffle off for St. Jude's Hospital.
@@AngelasJoys Thank you! I couldn't remember the exact details which happens as you get old! Appreciate your reply♥️
@@donnamoskowitz4978 you're welcome.
That was the drummer that said he had to follow Elvis’ movements like those of a stripper. This performance in particular was a total surprise to the musicians who had never seen him slow the tempo. They just had to follow his movements to know. Elvis is just the best!❤
I loved your reaction, you touched on all the nuisances that made this performance so fricking great!! So funny you brought up Forrest Gump, love how it was Forrest that gave him his moves lol.
Also I know this version is dubbed but I absolutely love his dancing in this one! Up on his toes way before M.J did it!! ❤
I truly enjoy your appreciation for Elvis. I was young when Elvis performed in the epic "Elvis Aloha From Hawaii" concert. It was 1973 and I was 11 years old, but knew that what I was watching was a very charismatic and talented singer. My family gathered around the television to watch the groundbreaking first ever worldwide satellite concert. If you have never heard him perform An American Trilogy, What Now My Love, or My Way, please take a look. I have seen several reactions with the videos posted. You will not be disappointed. Elvis was at his best.
Love seeing young elvis like this.
Can you React to the documentary elvis and the black community part 1 and part 2
Great classy reaction ; enjoy the journey it will be full of surprises.
I love watching these live versions of Elvis back in the early days. Hound Dog is a great song! This was performed on the "Milton Berle Show" in 1956. He also appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show. His movements were considered scandalous to show on TV. Some shows only filmed him from the waist up.
and he began in January of '56 on the Dorsey Bros. show which showed him head to toe -- that was the 1st before the others -- and later on Steve Allen w-a live hound dog (which really upset him); he was turned down by Sullivan originally but when Berle's ratings skyrocketed, Sullivan changed his mind
He is still the KING. Love your reaction 💕💕💕💕
My favourite version of Elvis in 56 doing Hound dog thank you 😊
Someone below mentioned to "play Release Me, but his piano player messed up;" the story is at the very start of the video Elvis called out “Please Release Me” but the band began playing “I Can’t Stop Loving You” - he didn’t stop them, he just eased right into the song; he then walked over to his glass of water, picked it up & playfully threw it at Glen @ piano - see ruclips.net/video/YzLKBG7ghFE/видео.html ; this is Elvis in 1972 at Hampton Roads, Virginia -- very different, very energetic, super powerful, rich voice -- very enjoyable -- just make sure you hear the absolute very beginning or the water throwing won't make sense. Thanks much.
historic performance
❤👑👑👑👑👑❤️
Great reaction - what a joy it is to see happiness on the faces of those enjoying Elvis for the first time 👌
The control. He had a great set of guys behind him. When he threw that arm back it was a way of saying "Stop! That is our last verse."
I'm really enjoying your Elvis reactions! He is so cool and he is still loved worldwide! 🇿🇦 Please react to "Sweet Caroline", Elvis live in Las Vegas 1970. Thank you. Subbed.
Welcome to the Elvis rabbit hole. Once you take an initial look, down the rabbit hole you fall. The man never disappoints!! Your reviews are fun!
Crazy he is only 21 here...the start of greatness
Elvis’ 1956 TV appearances: Months before the Sullivan show, on January 28, 1956, Elvis appeared on the Dorsey Brothers Stage Show singing “Shake Rattle & Roll” appearing head to toe (terrific performance - ruclips.net/video/oXiX3cl03DE/видео.html at 0:30). (I haven’t found info on any backlash about his movements from that TV appearance). On June 5,1956, Elvis appeared on the Milton Berle show, again being shown from head to toe. After that appearance, Berle received about 500,000 PAN letters, not FAN letters, but PAN letters because all of Elvis was shown. It’s been said that Elvis’ appearance on Berle’s show caused the shows ratings to top Sullivan’s for the 1st time which annoyed Sullivan. Sullivan originally turned down having Elvis on his show. But after the ratings Berle got, it caused Sullivan to rethink his original decision, & while the mail was negative, it did cause a big reaction & Sullivan agreed to have Elvis on his show, but appearing from the waist up. And so on Sept. 9, 1956, Elvis appeared on the Sullivan show. In between all of this, Elvis sang “Hound Dog” to a live hound dog on the Steve Allen show in July of 1956. Thank you so much.
I was 12 when I saw this on TV ... my parents wouldn't let me watch him again ... I had to sneak around to watch him until I was much older LOL ! So scandalous then ... so tame now ... but OMG , I miss him as much today as I did the day he died ! TCB forever!
The moves elvis did back in those days was nothing compared to what these singers do now a days at concerts and shows..
All he did was shake his hips ..
love your reactions and happy that you are enjoying the research. Us Elvis fans are envious of new fans who get to experience discovering new Elvis material. As iconic as Elvis is, unfortunately many people don;t consider Elvis as legitimate an artist as others after him because he didn;t write his own songs, and his gift in arrangement and interpretation of the songs is often overlooked. As charismatic, as good a vocalist, and as good looking as he was, i honestly think the true root of his genius was his natural ability to sing all genres (opera, blues, doo wop, ballads, country, gospel, rock etc). He reinvented himself in different eras and his influence goes beyond music. i mean even a 2023 critically acclaimed movie like "everything everywhere all at once" has a scene with a character wearing an elvis jumpsuit in one of the parallel universes and a new netflix animated series has Elvis playing a secret agent voiced by Matthew Mcconaughey)!
I see many ppl suggest "If i can dream" and i 1000% agree you have to react to that one. No one can hate that performance in the history of mankind lol
Definitely watch his appearances on the Ed Sullivan show.
i would love to see your reaction to Elvis singing each type of genre: (gospel, country, ballads, R and B, blues, opera, do wop, blues) these are some of my suggestions
opera: now or never
blues: stranger in my own home town, the blues version (Elvis does swear quite a bit in this version though)
Awesome
CRAZY COOL REACTION!! I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR GOING DOWN THIS ELVIS RABBIT HOLE! YOU ROCK MY BROTHER!! TRY 1970 VEGAS LIVE "I CANT STOP LOVING YOU" AMAZING!!
Thanks, buddy! I guarantee we will see it!
Fun fact
when you thought the song was over, it usually was lol
if you notice when e jumps back into the slowed down version scotty his guitar player and bill on bass look at each other and are "wait what's he doing" and scotty has said in interviews that they just tried to keep following him for the rest of the song.
It's something they said that they got used to playing for him "you never knew what he was gonna do" lol
Here's a link for a favorite when he did Love Me on the Ed Sullivan Show ♡
ruclips.net/video/PkK7RYm-99o/видео.html
Please do READY TEDDY sept 9th performance. The BEST one he did by far. You can see this was when he gained the confidence and he killed that performance
I love how sincere and observant you bare about elvis and readying about him. I'm a new fan myself bec of the new movie and have read about 10 books on him so far. I highly recommend Guralnick's 2 part biography on Elvis 1. Last Train to Memphis and 2. Careless Love if you want to read up more on him
Forever The King!! Yes, in future tv performances he was filmed from the waist up only.
Great reaction!! 😊 another great elvis video is from the aloha from Hawaii concert the song is called "steamroller blues" his rendition of it is really great
I think you’ll enjoy watching his rehearsal videos. There are quite a few. Ooh happy days in rehearsal makes him go crazy - I guess the mysic just takes over! Interviews are good too - 1960 exiting the military, another at Madison Sq Gardens (blue suit) and one in Texas (wearing red, I think). He’s an interesting man. He brings his dad into interviews as well.
Saw that show, he was not to be shown below the wiest when on TV. Producers got around that.
Thanks for this! Since you've been reading about Elvis, you know his best stuff was recorded in 1954 and 1955 for Sun Records in Memphis. Would love to see a reaction to one of his Sun songs. That's All Right was his first record, but many more just as good.
"best stuff was recorded in 54 and 55"
im sorry but wut!?
we can agree to disagree on that.
That is simply not true.
some more elvis history will be the Baz Luhrmann interviews Elvis Presley’s childhood friend Sam Bell on yt EP Fan Archive
Hey tex i love ur vids and i'm so glad that you have discovered Elvis!!! Could you react to him singing ' an american trilogy' please?! And thanks man!! Oh the aloha from hawaii version.... where he has those flowers around his neck? I know what there called... but shit.... if i'm gonna try and spell it?!!! Hahaha🙏👍
🗣🔥 Awesome Elvis 👌 👏
Can't Go Wrong with the King 👑 ‼️✅
🗣Throw a Request at you for something totally different that you may not have seen before ‼️
Lachy ( lock key ) Doley - Voodoo Child ( Jimmy Hendrix cover ) live 301 Studio version !
🎸 BE PREPARED TO BE AMAZED ‼️😉✌🤜🏼🤛🏼
Yeah this was the one that changed everything. He'd been getting a lot of negative feedback concerning his music, performance etc. It's pretty obvious he picked this show to give 'The Establishment' a big F You. This is the only time he ever did this song like that and after the first minute or so, it was all improv. The band had no idea and I don't think Elvis really had any idea how much attention this would get. PEACE!
actually, Elvis didn't pick the Berle show -- all arrangements of where he would be, amount he would get, negotiations, was Parker's job in arranging his schedule. He began months before on the Dorsey Bros. TV show, then Berle, then Steve Allen, then Sullivan; all these were through Parker's arranging contracts. Sullivan didn't want him on but after Berle's ratings topped Sullivan, then Sullivan changed his mind & as we know, showed waist up; btw, Berle got approx. 500,000 PAN letters, & while it was all negative, it got everyone's attention
After this- they wouldn't show him from the waist down. Lol He didn't choreograph anything, he couldn't I don't think. Lol His body moved with the instruments. Please check out Cant stop Lovin you. He said to play Release Me, but his piano player messed up, so he threw water on him. 🤣 Also please react to Elvis Can't Stop Laughing. Elvis...A Generous Heart the short version and Elvis.. King of Kindness.
Loving your reactions!! TCB ⚡❤
he'll need to know where to get it from-he won't have a clue where to begin - the website would be a help; also, there are more than one version & not everyone has Elvis saying Please Release Me
Great reaction on Elvis! Will you please react to ( Elvis and the black community part 1&2 that echo will never die) it will answer a lot of questions and you’ll learn more about what he went through You won’t regret it!!!
Hi Texas Love, just a little reminder for you to react to Johnny Diesel 15 feet of Snow, ucostic do yourself a favour and give it a listen. Love from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
They usually weren't allowed to film below his wIst.
Might like the Frank Sinatra Elvis vid...really gives one insight to how Elvis was such a different vibe back than...he was just young, cool, rocked and roll. Sinatra, although he was great, just looks like an old man. ya know...and he was considered the hip guy.
I've heard you say you like hard rock, check out the black rock group MOTHER'S FINEST and their song titled TRUTH'LL SET YOU FREE. Make sure it's from their ANOTHER MOTHER FURTHER album. It's FUNK ROCK and another song of theirs is titled MOVING ON from their IRON AGE album, it's straight hard rock. You're going to enjoy them both. Keep up the great work.
He physically made women pass out in the crowd
However he felt the song that's how he moved..He meant nothing by it and never realized what he was doing...He did a performance in the 1950's n the girl's went crazy.He actually got scared..He went back stage n asked " what did i do wrong." He was told we don't know but get back out there n do it again... Elvis back then never realized his left leg would shake when he sang... That's what the girls were screaming about...When he was in the service one of the higher ups passing Elvis and asked him to stop shaking his leg... Elvis said If i do sir i will lose money." That was actually a nervous thing that went on with his leg..
Please, please do the original "Jailhouse Rock," by Elvis - he choreographed it, too, btw.
I'm a new subscriber - you sound great. 🙂
Elvis never choreographed his moves. And the few times when Hollywood hired a choreographer -- he did what he wanted to do anyway! They would help the actresses dance with Elvis! ;) Elvis would just feel the music through his entire bones and dance and vibe to it. Elvis was different, he had serious rhythm, and could create new hybrid sounds and dance moves on the fly. Without Elvis there IS NO Jackson 5 or Michael Jackson as we knew him. They'd have a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ACT. There was no Motown before Elvis. Wouldnt have been the business that it was without Elvis.
B.B. King ---
1. 'Let me tell you the definitive truth about Elvis Presley and racism', The King of the Blues, B.B. King said in 2010. 'With Elvis, there was not a single drop of racism in that man. And when I say that, believe me I should know'.
2. King enthusiastically shared his thoughts about happiness, his famous guitar ('Lucille'), musical influences and Elvis, 'the other King'.
'All of our (Presley's and King's) influences had something in common', King explained. 'We were born poor in Mississippi, went through poor childhoods and we learned and earned our way through music. You see, I talked with Elvis about music early on, and I know one of the big things in heart was this: Music is owned by the whole universe. It isn't exclusive to the black man or the white man or any other color. It shared in and by our souls'.
'I told Elvis once, and he told me he remembered I told him this, is that music is like water', King pointed out. 'Water is for every living person and every living thing'.
King raised his finger up as if Elvis was still in front of him, and profoundly declared, 'Water from the white fountain don't taste any better than from the black fountain. We just need to share it, that's all. You see, Elvis knew this and I know this'.
'Many people make the mistake of being wrong about all of this', King continued. 'If you ask anyone, I'm talking about people from all kinds of music - Blues, Soul, Country, Gospel, whatever - and if they are honest with you and have been around long enough to know---they'll thank Elvis for his contributions. He opened many doors and by all his actions, not just his words, he showed his love for all people'.
3. 'People don't realize that when 'That's All Right, Mama' was first played (by Dewey Phillips in July 1954) no one had ever heard anything like that record', King stressed. 'It wasn't just country. It was Rhythm and Blues. It was Pop music. It was music for everybody. This is important'.
4. King spelled out that there were two very specific music influences that he had in common with Presley.
'I was barely 11 years old, when one of the greatest influences of my life, Robert Johnson, was recording just across the street from this (Majestic) theater recording his first ever songs', he revealed.
King was talking about how, on the corner of Houston and St. Mary's streets in San Antonio, at the Gunter Hotel, Johnson changed the music world forever. King grew up listening to the 16 songs Johnson recorded in the Gunter and 'that had a lot to do with where I am today'.
'Johnson came from the same dirt Elvis and so many of us did', King submitted. 'It was the world of sharecropping, and to survive that hard work bending over all day long, there would be plenty of singing. Elvis' momma and daddy did their share of it - both the picking and the singing. It was called survival. It was called life. It was just as important to us as water. It was as important to those of us who had it in our souls as the water'.
5. 'The other big influence was Jimmy Rogers', King said. 'Some people want to say he was the Father of Country Music, but like Elvis, he was more than that. He was a big influence on not just me. I used to listen to my aunt's records of Jimmy Rogers and that was a real treat. I liked that 'Mississippi Delta Blues' and to listen to him yodel'.
'I never did yodel', King laughed. 'But Jimmy Rogers could sure yodel. He was very good at it. But yes, he influenced more than country music, he influenced Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters as much as he did Merle Haggard or Willie Nelson. See, Elvis did that too, but only much wider. Elvis influenced everybody's music and it was for the good of all of us'.
6. Rogers turned out to be the first superstar in the country music field. Born in 1897, his mother died when he was barely seven years old. He spent his childhood residing with several relatives in southwest Alabama and southeast Mississippi. His father found him a job working for the railroad as a water boy for the railroad and Rodgers soon fit in among the rail workers and hobos. He enjoyed listening to gandy dancers, African American workers, who would sing hymns and work songs daily. He learned to pick a guitar from some of them.
7. 'People today will say things about Elvis they just don't know about', King commented. 'They want to say this is black music, this is white music, this is country music. But when Elvis came along all that was suddenly washed down the drain'.
8. 'Before Elvis we had Little Black Sambo, separate black restrooms and water fountains, and colored events that kept us away from the whites', King noted as he mention that Presley would attend events especially designated just for African-Americans. In June 1956, Presley ignored Memphis's segregation ordinances by attending 'colored night' at the local fairgrounds amusement park. The following December, King was there as Presley opened up almost unbreakable racial barriers by attending and supporting the segregated WDIA black radio station's annual fund-raising event for 'needy Negro children' at Memphis' Ellis Auditorium.
King wrote in his autobiography that he 'liked Elvis. I saw him as a fellow Mississippian. I was impressed by his sincerity. When he came to the Goodwill Review (the event WDIA fund raisers of 1956 and 1957), he did himself proud'.
'The Goodwill Revues were important', he wrote. 'The entire black community turned out. All the DJs carried on, putting on skits and presenting good music'.
'When Elvis appeared (in 1956) he was already a big, big star', King continued. 'Remember this was the fities so for a young white boy to show up in an all-black function took guts'.
'I believe he was showing his roots and he seemed proud of those roots. After the show he made a point of posing for pictures with me and treating me like royalty', King recalled. 'He'd tell people I was one of his influences. I doubt whether that's true but I like hearing Elvis give Memphis credit for his musical upbringing'.
9. 'Back in '72, Elvis helped me get a good gig at the Hilton Hotel while he was playing in the big theater', King acknowledged in 2010. 'He put in a call for me and I worked in the lounge to standing room only. Elvis fans came in different colors but their love of good music was all the same. They were always a good audience'.
'Many nights I'd go upstairs after we finished our sets and go up to his suite', King confessed. 'I'd play Lucille (his guitar) and sing with Elvis, or we'd take turns. It was his way of relaxing'.
'I'll tell you a secret', King winked and laughed. 'We were the original Blues Brothers because that man knew more blues songs that most in the business - and after some nights it felt like we sang everyone one of them. But my point is, that when we were hanging out in the Hilton in the 70s, Elvis had not lost his respect, his 'yes sir,' his love for all fields of music. And I liked that'.
At the same time 'Heartbreak Hotel' was climbing the charts in March 1956, Billboard magazine featured an article called, 'Barriers Being Swept Away in C&W, Pop and R&B Fields. 'Hard and fast cleavages between the country and western, pop, and rhythm and blues fields are rapidly breaking down', writer Paul Ackerman penned. 'Perhaps the most interesting example of the breakdown of categories, however, is the current overlapping of the country, rhythm and blues fields … The outstanding example of this type of performer today is Elvis Presley, recently with Sun Records and now on the Victor label'.
When Sam Phillips, as Sun Records, released a Presley record, he made sure each bop/rock/pop song had a country tune on the flip side to appeal to both type of listeners. RCA took this innovation even further by marketing Presley in Country, Rhythm and Blues, and Pop fields. By May of 1956, Presley's 'Heartbreak Hotel' became the first 'Double-Triple Crown' in Billboard history.
10. In his autobiography, King said he held no grudges because 'Elvis didn't steal any music from anyone. He just had his own interpretation of the music he'd grown up on, same is true for everyone. I think Elvis had integrity'.
'If anyone says Elvis Presley was a racist', charged B.B. King in the 2010 interview. 'Then they don't know a thing about Elvis Presley or music history.
Could you please watch “ELVIS and the black community “? I love your genuine smile!!! I subbed!
+love your videos,would you do some dr.hook. like carry me carrie or cover of the rolling stone
It's a shame you've used the "This Is Elvis" version where they've cropped his feet out. The full frame is so much better. Great reaction from you though.
Presley wasn't covering Big Mama's version. In facts he had nothing to do with her version as she recorded when he was in high school. Many people covered the song after Big Mama. The version Elvis is doing is the hit version by Freddie Bell, from 1955. Different lyrics, different feel.

Thank you for posting the facts about Hound Dog. All Elvis fans should be aware of the history of that song.
FYI, Elvis never performed outside of the United States. Yet, he has sold over one billion records worldwide. No one has ever accomplished this. Not even Michael Jackson!
Before Elvis we had crooners such a Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Vic Damone, Tony Bennet etc. Nobody moved. They just stood there and sang. It wasn't very exciting to watch.
why didn't you finalist this video ? you miss a very good part !
That was the whole video :)
If you want to know his real story that movie is not the way to go, despite how many people are going to comment against my saying so. Vicki
React to too woke by nick nittoli
Watch the documentaries to get the true story. The movie is great but some facts may be left out or not totally truthful
Please react ", an american triolgy (ruclips.net/video/0FT3SmZ_zx0/видео.html) just pretend (1970)
The clip with the real music is better; this clip is a remix.
This is the clip that got so much controversy and the band didn’t know he was going to do it either.
