Oh any song Elvis sings he makes it his very own and never fails to touch your very heart and soul so you never want to hear it from anyone else ever again!!! So again with this country hit which he sings with such soulful tender passion with that beautiful powerful Heavenly voice of his - well he just blows you away and makes you melt - you don't just hear this song you actually feel it flowing through you - pure Elvis magic that only Elvis can do and that is why he is the King of Music!!!! It is an Elvis phenomenon that is only Elvis!!! Thank you so much Rene I just love your Elvis reactions!!!
This is singing of the highest standard. He makes a simple old country song from Eddy Arnold into something profound and meaningful. Only Elvis Presley can do this. I bow before the King.
I'm so grateful to you for posting this song and for your comments!. I agree with you he made each song his own. P,ease, go on celebrating Elvis the king of music, he is unforgettable, I love him so much. when I'm down, I have to listen to him. Ciao from Italy.
When I saw the thumbnail for this album, I was hoping for Any Day Now, which is a phenomenal expression of Elvis's vocal range... but i like this too. I love the love you have for Elvis. He did soooooo much, i havent heard even 100 of Elvis's 750 recordings. I've loved him since the beginning of time. Sometimes hard to believe he is really gone 47 years. He still sounds fresh and unique to me ❤
Elvis gave credit where credit was due. Never said he owned anyone elses song. But like many others he took to different songs and sang them as wonderfully as he could. He did just so. As we hear with so many songs he sang so beautifully. Like this one. Give him the credit he deserves. Im referring this to another commentor. Not the person playing. Elvis for us. Thanks to him. Agree with you. Elvis the greatest.
An example why Elvis is known as "The King of Music!!" I Love your reactions to Elvis! Thank you so very much for sharing and continuing the Music of Our Legend!!❤❤❤❤❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥! There will never be another like Elvis, The G.O.A.T!! Elvis' version is my favorite!! He poured his heart and soul into his music!!
Hey Rene .it disent matter what genre Elvis sings in he's always on the top of everyone. I'm loving your content Rene .Elvis voice cannot be beaten by anybody ! Any genre ,he's the best ❤❤
Elvis war so unbeschreiblich talentiert, er konnte wie niemand sonst Gefühle rüberbringen, aber auch erzeugen. Man kann seine Lieder nicht emotionslos anhören. Das schafft nur er. Einfach nur wundervoll. Vielen Dank und weiter so! Sie machen einen guten Job, ich mag ihre Videos. Danke René
I love the way you called him " King of music ❤ He truly Was King of all music. Thank you🙏🏻❤

Elvis Presley 👑👍🎸 🎶👑 TheKingOfMusic 👑🎸 He could sing everything like no other before him or after him, he is and will remain the greatest entertainer in the world.
Love how they chose to keep that unique series of “false starts” at the beginning, something about that makes this track even better. Thanks for reacting to this one
I love this song I have it saved on my phone so I could hear it at any time. He is an amazing singer has beautiful voice. This song is beyond words just like he is. Thank you for this. You are amazing too myyour videos,
Anything by Elvis are great, so I can not be surprised by this. He was in my opinion THE MASTER OF MUSIC!!! Yes his last year he more, or less became a bit more like a opera singer in some songs. I bet that if he really wanted to he could have been a opera singer, he was that talented, don't you think so to? A thing that people really annoy me with, that is when they call him fat, he became bloated from his heart attacks. Yes he was probably overweight to, but I think to only mention that is a lack of respect, right? Besides, he could still outsing and out perform anyone without using auto tune, he only used his talent, that is my opinion, what do you think about this?
you might be interested in this story on quora with quotes from McCartney:Sylvie Aimée · Follow Writer2y Did Paul McCartney ever write for Elvis Presley? Elvis Presley had an enormous effect on Paul McCartney and John Lennon. As far as we know, however, McCartney did not write for Elvis. I believe if he had, Paul would have been over the moon. The young McCartney first became aware of Presley’s image when he saw a picture of him in a British magazine advertisement for “Heartbreak Hotel.” When the record was released in England in May 1956, it had a profound effect on Paul. Years later, in the music magazine UNCUT, he explained how listening to his first Presley record jumpstarted his “Elvis experience.” In John Lennon, McCartney found a partner who idolized Elvis as much as he did. Barry Miles’s 1997 McCartney book, Many Years From Now, is based on 35 taped interviews of Paul from 1991 to 1996. In it, Paul recalls his initial introduction to Elvis and how it changed the course of his life. “I nearly did very well at grammar school but I started to get interested in art instead of academic subjects. Then I started to see pictures of Elvis, and that started to pull me away from the academic path. ‘You should see these photos …’ Then you’d hear the records - ‘but wait a minute, this is very good!’ - and then the tingles started going up and down your spine, ‘Oh, this is something altogether different.’ And so the academic things were forgotten.” “They weren’t playing much of Elvis’ stuff on the radio in those days. To hear ‘Heartbreak Hotel’ I had to go into a record shop in Liverpool and listen to it through headphones in one of those booths. It was a magical moment, the beginning of an era. “Elvis is a truly great vocalist, and you can hear why on this song. His phrasing, his use of echo, it’s all so beautiful. It’s the way he sings it, too. As if he’s singing it from the depths of Hell. It’s a perfect example of a singer being in command of the song. Musically it’s perfect, too. The double-bass and the walk-in piano create this incredibly haunting atmosphere. It’s so full of mystery, and it’s never lost that for me. The echo is just stunning. When The Beatles were recording, we’d often ask George Martin for ‘the Elvis echo.’ I think we got it down perfectly on ‘A Day in the Life.’” In the Miles book, Paul spoke of the falling in “love” with Elvis’s music in 1956 and 1957. “If we were feeling lousy,” he recalls, “we’d go back and play ‘Don’t Be Cruel,’ and we’d be right up there again. It could cure any blues.” Presley’s music even had the power to cure Paul’s physical ills. “The healing power of music is serious. I remember I had a mate called Ian James, just my little teenage mate, school mate, and we used to go down to the fairs together and things. I remember one day I went back to his house and I had a headache, steaming headache, and I thought, ‘Oh God.’ But we put on ‘All Shook Up’ by Elvis. By the time that record had ended I didn’t have a headache.” When he hooked up with John Lennon, they played many Presley tunes before they started writing their own songs. In one of the Miles interviews, Paul recalled Elvis’s role in an early Lennon-McCartney writing session. “We’d often get in the little glass-panelled porch on the front door looking out on to the front garden and Menlove Avenue. There was a good acoustic there, like a bathroom acoustic, and also it was the only place (John’s Aunt) Mimi would let us make noise. We were relegated to the vestibule. I remember singing ‘Blue Moon’ in there, the Elvis version, trying to figure out the chords.” The national press takes notice whenever a celebrity visits Graceland. None, however, has received as widespread coverage as Paul McCartney did following his trip to Graceland on May 13, 2013. While in Memphis for a concert on his “Out There” tour, the former Beatle dropped by Elvis Presley’s former home for the first time. The Associated Press’s brief article on the event was featured in a multitude of print sources and online sites across the U.S. and around the world. And during his tour of Graceland, Sir Paul placed a guitar pick on Elvis’s grave. On his Twitter account, McCartney said he was “paying his respects.” The AP added, “so Elvis can play in heaven.” He also posted the two accompanying photos that were taken during his Graceland visit. His display of respect for Elvis at Graceland was just the latest of many such public expressions of admiration for Presley by McCartney dating back to the early 1960s when The Beatles exploded on the music scene. That’s when the press first became interested in what the Fab Four had to say about Elvis, whose popularity the group was challenging. What follows is just a sample of what Paul McCartney has said about Elvis over the past 50 years. While still acknowledging the early influence Presley had him, Paul was honest about his disappointment when Elvis’s music headed in a different direction. “‘Hard Headed Woman’-great title, we thought; Oh, this is going to be great! Then there’s a dreadful great big trombone right in the middle of it, and we thought, Good God! What in hell has happened?” The Beatles wanted to be bigger than Elvis, and by 1964 they were. They continued to acknowledge Presley’s early influence on them, however, and hoped their new fame would allow them to meet Elvis someday. In the Beatles Anthology book, published in 2000, Paul explained how it almost didn’t happen. “We'd tried for years to, but we could never get to him. We used to think we were a bit of a threat to him and Colonel Tom Parker, which ultimately we were. So although we tried many times, Colonel Tom would just show up with a few souvenirs and that would have to do us for a while. We didn't feel brushed off; we felt we deserved to be brushed off. After all, he was Elvis, and who were we to dare to want to meet him? But we finally received an invitation to go round and see him when he was making a film in Hollywood.” The legendary meeting between Elvis and The Beatles finally took place on August 27, 1965, at Presley’s Perugia Way home in Los Angeles. At that time, Elvis was trying to learn to play the electric bass, the same instrument Paul played for The Beatles. “That was the great thing for me, that he was into the bass. It was a great conversation piece for me. I could actually talk about the bass, and we sat around and just enjoyed ourselves. He was great - talkative and friendly, and a little bit shy.” In 1976 Paul McCartney made a tangible connection to Elvis when he acquired the standup bass that Bill Black used on stage with Presley in the fifties. In a PBS performance a few years ago, McCartney unveiled the bass before a small studio audience. In his UNCUT magazine article, Paul explained how he came to own the historic instrument. “Funnily enough, I ended up owning the double-bass that Bill Black played on ‘Heartbreak Hotel.’ Linda bought the bass for me as a present. We knew this guy in Nashville who knew Bill Black’s family. At that point, Bill had died and the bass was sitting in his barn. They didn’t know what to do with it. So Linda got hold of it. When it arrived, I was astonished. It was all intact, right down to the white trim around the sides, except that the letters spelling ‘Bill” had fallen off.” In the same article, McCartney explained how that bass has created for him a physical link to the Presley recording that helped change the musical world. Elvis has always had his detractors, but Paul McCartney’s steadfast respect has done more to preserve Elvis’s legacy than the efforts of a thousand critics to diminish it. McCartney’s recent visit to Graceland reminded us again how the glow of musical genius passed from one to another. ENJOY
Tutta la grandezza di Elvis in ogni brano che canta ! Lui personalizza le sue interpretazioni con passione, sentimento e simpatia e diventano uniche....grazie!
Elvis liked country, although his covers of other people's hits always had his personal stamp that made them his own. I love country music, both the classics and its variants, together with rock, blues or whatever.
I recently purchased this album and although I love the entire album,this is my favorite song on it! I listened to the Eddie Arnold version, and what Elvis did here is amazing! Thank you for all of your Elvis reactions!!!

Excellent 👍Thanks for reviewing this one. I’m always stuck useing the right words when trying to explain my thoughts on Elvis. In very short Incredible 👍
- He had very mature, unique voice in this period. It had everything blended together: country, gospel, pop, blues, and at times, operatic. The Elvis biopic (Austin Butler) made a MAJOR MISTAKE in portraying Elvis as being only a product of the blues. He had so many country influences, as well as crooner influences that I think Baz Lerman committed the unpardonable sin with his mono portrayal of Elvis' musical roots.
Its unfair to compare Eddy Arnold's version to Elvis' version. When Elvis does anybody else's song he makes it his own, so we can say he has a new take on it, so both versions are duly respectable. Listen to Elvis' live version of Bridge Over Troubled Water for instance!
Thanks for the breakdown! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
Thanks for your comment! It’s true that Elvis was inspired by black music, but in this case the song was originally a country song by Eddy Arnold. Elvis completely changed it into a soulful blues version, showing his ability to reinvent songs in his own unique way.
Where did he take credit? He always said "I got it from the black folk, they've been doing it longer than me". He was inspired by and stood with Black society. Similar to Eminem. You don't mind Ray Charles or Beyoncé doing country albums? That's ok with everyone, just pick on Elvis. And it was OK that he sang white artist's songs . Make it make sense 😂
@TracyTidewater41009 Elvis also sent them royalty cheques based off his own sales. Funny how they all accused him of stealing after he died and the money stopped rolling in.
Another example of Elvis' vocal genius in expressing feelings
Elvis could sing anything , and make it his own . Dude could even yodel
Oh any song Elvis sings he makes it his very own and never fails to touch your very heart and soul so you never want to hear it from anyone else ever again!!! So again with this country hit which he sings with such soulful tender passion with that beautiful powerful Heavenly voice of his - well he just blows you away and makes you melt - you don't just hear this song you actually feel it flowing through you - pure Elvis magic that only Elvis can do and that is why he is the King of Music!!!!

Excellent 👍Thanks for reviewing this one. I’m always stuck useing the right words when trying to explain my thoughts on Elvis. In very short Incredible 👍
- He had very mature, unique voice in this period. It had everything blended together: country, gospel, pop, blues, and at times, operatic. The Elvis biopic (Austin Butler) made a MAJOR MISTAKE in portraying Elvis as being only a product of the blues. He had so many country influences, as well as crooner influences that I think Baz Lerman committed the unpardonable sin with his mono portrayal of Elvis' musical roots.

I really don’t know what you are talking about, I can’t help you sorry
Talk about how elvis copied black artist like they allways do and allways take credit
Thanks for your comment! It’s true that Elvis was inspired by black music, but in this case the song was originally a country song by Eddy Arnold. Elvis completely changed it into a soulful blues version, showing his ability to reinvent songs in his own unique way.
Where did he take credit? He always said "I got it from the black folk, they've been doing it longer than me". He was inspired by and stood with Black society. Similar to Eminem. You don't mind Ray Charles or Beyoncé doing country albums? That's ok with everyone, just pick on Elvis. And it was OK that he sang white artist's songs . Make it make sense 😂
He made a lot of money for the songwriters, don’t think they minded.
@TracyTidewater41009 Elvis also sent them royalty cheques based off his own sales. Funny how they all accused him of stealing after he died and the money stopped rolling in.
