Elvis didnt need special effects - he WAS the special effect.
Over-rateded.
And the guitar is too loud.
cool
You are so right it hurts.
yambo59 lol true 🔥
If I can dream
Anyone else think this girl is really Beautiful 😍
@@francisallen4882 Smoking!
Bellissima!!
The answer is obvious to anyone with eyes. She’s lovely.
Amen!
VERY BEAUTIFUL
When that happened in 1968, I was in front of the tv, watching it live. I was 10 years old. I have and will always love Elvis.
Lucky you, I was 6 at the time and watching Elvis and Neil and Buzz are among my first media memories.
I remember this well. I was 12. He was my favorite singer at the time. I still get goosebumps listening to him.
Me too! I would pretend I was Priscilla in our fashion shows!!! LOL still love him!
In Southeast Asia in the military, so didn't see it live
I was sitting on the floor in front of the TV entranced, it was Dec 68' and I had been waiting for that night to arrive with more anticipation than Christmas. I was turning 10 two days after Christmas that year and I had already been in love with Elvis for almost 5 years ❣
Fan of Elvis for 54 years and he still gives me chills and YES he was the most gorgeous man ever born.
It's nice to know younger generation loves Elvis and especially young Girls❤️🌹
That's why he is the king 👑
It’s funny thing to say..but don’t you just feel so proud of him when the younger folk find him as mesmerising as we did.🥰😍😘
Yes! It is so incredible (and pleasing) to see their first reactions. When I came along, he was an institution, universally admired, and absolutely everywhere. I was 12 when he passed. I knew that at least two generations would never forget him, but it is very pleasing to see that even now (40 some years latter), he is still knocking 'em out. Long live the King!
I feel so sorry for all of this generation who didn't get to see Elvis up close and personal, He was just soooo mesmerizing you didn't want to blink your eyes for fear you would miss something. I feel that way just watching these videos.
@@charolettebarnett3420 I feel sorry for them as they most likely don't know the ''back story'' to these songs and performances. ''In The Ghetto'' , for example, is much more poignant if one knows Elvis was born in very poor circumstances- it's not just some song sung by a rich superstar. They may not know how nervous Elvis was for the '68 shows, how much was ''on the line'', how long he had been gone, and how much had changed in the music, since his first triumphs. The way he came out and just instantly reestablished that he was still ''the king of the jungle'' was an incredible thrill to his original fans. People coming to the music today might not know the details of the legend that was common knowledge back when Rock was the dominant form of popular music.
I agree with you 100%. I love the way new listeners are thrown off by the King. Current artists just don't match up with the Great One.
@@westsidesmitty1 Well stated.
Elvis was the first to do "unplugged"- he was such a trendsetter that he influenced every major act that came after him.
It wasn't really an Unplugged because he used an electric guitar, but I get your meaning. More like an sort of intammit and interactive
it was called a sit down aka jam session he use to do this all the time with him and his friends u probably already know this but he did it with Carl Perkins and Jerry Lewis
I think MTV Unplugged copied this special - it's a wonderfully intimate way to watch an idol perform.
Elvis had the first music video...jailhouse rock ...the first concert to be televised all over the world...aloha from Hawaii......he was a trend setter, style setter, crossed music boundaries that no other could have done. If it weren't for him music would not be what it is today. He did many many first. Even gospel and country and rock and soul and bluegrass and just everything.
@mrbran. Elvis played with the fellow musician rock 'n roller Jerry LEE Lewis. Jerry Lewis was the comedian.
Before Elvis there was nothing - John Lennon
It's true. When Elvis broke out in 1956 he shook up the world. He was the original American Idol and the best one ever.
For John Lenon that was true. But actually there was much before Elvis. Check out, as example, "The Andrews Sisters".
Lennon was a wise man no doubt.
@@dlmullins9054 Elvis gave Lennon something concrete with which ti identify.
Elvis made it fashionable for whites to perform Black music.
The stones were a true Band, the beatles were overrated, hahahaha
Is that an Elvis pun I detect?
Elvis sent a fleet of limoseens round memphis every week to take the older folk to church doctors and shopping among many other kind acts .he was a true humanitarian .!
I wonder what Elvis would have made of the world today!
@@LionTheHeart He would have been sad and very disappointed
My mom went to every concert hat ever came anywhere close to us and owned every original album he ever made. I could Sing every song on those albums before I was ten..lol. I learned to kiss on a huge poster she brought me that I had on the back of my door..lol. she went to a concert where a little girl went up and got a scarf. On her way back to her chair this woman took it from her. Elvis stopped the concert, had security bring her on the stage. He sat down and put her in his lap and sang love me tender to her and gave her that big ring he always wore on his right pointer finger . When he was done he had his security take her back to her seat. He was a good man with a wonderful heart and a just a small town boy from the poor side of tupelo. After this young girls weren't allowed to go to the stage. I know because 6 months before he died I got to see him and I was very close to the stage. Every time I would try the would stop me and escort me back to my seat! Kmsl. I used to fantasize that I would write him and he fly into our small in town airport. I was gonna cook him a good home cooked country meal and just let him be a regular person for one day. I lived him then and I love him now and saltwater will. No o no e will ever be like Elvis.
@@daynayocum9647 You are so right ,if only every one in the world could be more like Elvis the world would be a perfect place !Bring back kindness that's what we need !😁👍
@@LionTheHeart take a look at Pastor Bob Joyce...I think it's Elvis, he gave everything up for Jesus! look at the video on YT of Bob Joyce and his son Matt singing Elvis's song at Benton, AR, remember he's older in the video but the voice has aged well and you can still hear it's ELVIS
This was his comeback show. I remember as a young girl sitting on the floor watching this on tv in amazement. My Mom would not let us say a word. She loved him.
I was 4 years old. I do however remember when he passed away. I was in the 8th grade😢
What's going on with his voice is emotion, heart, soul energy and passion. He didn't sing songs, he felt them.
There's something special about seeing others appreciate something or someone you've admired for so long, and be able to emit the same feelings you did when we first heard these songs
Beautifully said ! 😄🏴
I’m loving these reaction videos - you nearly chewed your bottom lip off watching this. Elvis is probably the “finest” example of the species God ever made.
I'm black, I'm from WV and Elvis was my idol,i used to imitate him so well my brother use to rent me out for free to his friends.
No auto tune no telling him what to do. Just Elvis pure talent in any generation
You are so right. Elvis did love his fans. And they loved him, right up to his death in 1977. And he is still loved, 47 years after his death. His songs are still selling. I’ve been a fan for almost sixty years, & my wife too. In 1968, in this Comeback Special, as it’s known, Elvis was making a return to Live Concerts, after making movies for 8 straight years, plus two years in the army from 1958 - 1960. He did have a very unique voice & it’s instantly recognisable. Great Reaction.
This was his dad's favourite song, and for good reason. The vocal range, the passion, the flow, the perfect pitch, the "rock", the "roll", etc.
I walked down the aisle when I married my wife to this song (studio version), love it. Then we danced to “want you, need you, love you” married 16 years now. Elvis sealed it!
Walked? Really? I bet you strutted!
Unplugged the first entertainer to do an unplugged session in front of a live audience. The way he looked and sounded. He is definitely phenomenal. THE KING
this is what they called GOD GIVEN TALENT! no auto tune, no technology enhancing anything, just straight passion and skill
Elvis is a gift to humanity. He showed us what is possible with music and also what is possible with looks. He is the endless example of ( America's Got Talent ). He set a HIGH Standard. When you see him perform you cannot help loving it. All Original !!! He affects you with his performance, his smile is infectious, he is in a category all his own. The Category of ELVIS PRESLEY............!!!
Elvis Will Always be the king of music and wimen.his looks and voice are perfect and the passion he puts in Every song is werry moving to see.
Women not wimen.😂
That was from The 68 Come Back!
The most talented person that ever lived!! The Memphis stud!!
The power of Elvis, even all these years later - that Elvis effect....
He’s throwing in a little “country twang” effect with his voice, which comes off great if you’re practiced in it like he is!
😍♥️ SO DREAMY 💙!
Who has been inducted into every major Hall of Fame? Country, rock, gospel and rockabilly....legend!
Elvis adds Rock, blues and gospel into his voice.
He could sing rough or sweetly. Here's an example of the sweetly:
ruclips.net/video/asUSYWzXfMc/видео.html
It the yodel that makes the difference.
@@McMahonHater He didn't yodel.
@@thebrazilianatlantis165 He did, that's that thing he does with his voice that Sushi was referring to. A lot of southern singers did that type of thing.
@@McMahonHater This is an example of yodeling.
ruclips.net/video/5beQ0EqtM9Q/видео.html
What a gorgeous man, such a talent. Timeless!
I just love watching the twinkle in a woman’s eyes and their reactions as they observe Elvis! Priceless. Elvis: The original chick magnet! Every man wishes he had 10% of the magnetism and effect on girls lime Elvis, let’s be honest guys. Elvis Aaron Presley....My favorite singer of all time.
His middle name does have 2 A's in it, not the one A on his gravestone, because he's still alive and living as Pastor Bob Joyce.
“If I can dream” from the 68 comeback special showcases Elvis’s immense talent.
There are more songs by Elvis,than if i can dream..In the getto..It pisses me of,,you all want the same shit , When a youtuber ,play som ELVIS..Elvis made more then 700 songs,,and this is the same old record you whant to PLAY ??? PLAY PLEDING MY LOVE..
I agree.lonely man,girl happy and change of habbit are some amazing but underrated Elvis songs.Danny that didnt make king creole are also great with a beautiful lyrics.a true Elvis fan right here.
@@bopoulsen4030 wow what gives you the right to react to someone like that
Yes!!!! 100%
In 1968 Martin Luther King Jr was delivering his I have a dream speech due to all the inequalities our world faced and same year Elvis Presley choose to deliver his songs If I can dream and in the ghetto two songs he performed with so much passion you can feel and hear it coming from the depth of his soul, heart and mind be cause he had the same dream of equality for all people ,it's true he made a lot of beautiful music that will live on throughout time and everyone has their favorite ,the you tube hostess spoke about his side burns but some people took him through hell teenage peers and adults alike didn't like his look but he didn't change who he was and who he aspired to become his life story from beginning to end is on RUclips when he was asked in the beginning of his career who he sounded like he stated no one and that was the truth , He was a white man being hounded by his own race because they said he sounded to black , dressed to flashy and his gyrating and pelvis thrusting was selling sex and corrupting their youth he had hatred coming from middle age and aging white people, journalist, politicians ,law enforcers , DJ's television and radio stations banding his music, sound , dance and look due to the fact that he was inspired by blacks music, gospel, blues , R&B sound their expression of dance, but it was nothing they could do about it because the youth loved it and their voice and actions was louder and he didn't change, he was remaking a lot of black people songs that was once taboo music , while opening up the gates so that black people could finally show their talent that had been hidden and hushed up for to long . It's true he made more money but with the hard work determination and perseverance blacks started rising on the charts on their own merrits ,he stood in solidarity with Muhammad Ali and his struggles, James Brown, little Richard, B.B. King , Chuck Berry and so so many more greats of that era , We was introduced to the Motown and Philadelphia sounds and many others around the U.S. he basically took a country that was a drab black and white picture back then and replaced it with Technicolor he even defended himself against racist journalist that stated he said the only thing a black person can do for him is shine his shoes and buy his records if anyone know anything about racial hatred then you know a racist white man or woman don't want to be associated with any one who does not look like them, they'd never show any public or private desires to copy or compliment anything that person of color is about period . Their are many documentaries on RUclips he left a legacy that is still carried on by his daughter , Ex wife and grandchildren to this day.
Sweetheart, Elvis used to do like a little form, he came on TV every week, Elvis was like a part of our family, when I was a kid, when Elvis died, he died a week before my 11th birthday, and it was like someone in the family died, my mom was distraught, it was insane, we all were, we all loved Elvis It was a terrible time
Well, I was at home with my parents and we all sat around the TV set to watch the Elvis comeback special! Now I am a great grandmother and finally get to see this again on RUclips!
What a performance. Elvis was truly one of a kind. His voice was truly amazing. He was so ahead of his time and you can tell that he enjoyed performing for the crowd. Thank you for this!
Look at Elvis, still making women swoon forty two years after his death.
Women? I'm straight as can be and I'm swooned like a mofo over here and I grew up with the man. hahahaha
Dang Skippy. I still watch his movies.
I'm a 26 year old red blooded male and I get a shiver down my spine watching this 😂😂
@Rick Gross
Low IQ gay boy.
You turd
That’s a fact... Jack!!!😀👍
Hi Sushi. I remember watching this concert on TV with my parents in high school. It was a awesome experience as no one at that time had ever embodied the swag, vocal chops, dance moves, killer good looks, and unique unapologetic style as Elvis. He was influenced by the blues, gospel, and country, and as of 2017 has sold more records than other single performer. His story is unique. At the age of twenty he was driving a milk truck for a living and decided to stop in a recording studio called Sun Records to record a song that he could give to his mom for her birthday. The recording engineer was impressed enough to ask him to come back and play with some studio musicians. Elvis returned the next week and they recorded a couple songs that the engineer was able to play on the local radio station. Immediately the station was inundated with calls inquiring about the singer and the rest is history. The two Elvis songs you've reacted to he did in his mid thirties and by this time he had universal age appeal as an artist. But when he started out as a performer he definitely appealed to mostly young teenagers. This appeal was unprecedented at the time as this market had never been penetrated before and created the music industry as we know it today. It was also Elvis who set the mold for what it meant to be a "rocker" as his style, dance moves, musicality, and southern charm combined into an irresistible package that teenage girls went berserk over. So, Elvis started out a teenage heartthrob, was drafted into the army, then made movies in Hollywood exclusively for about ten years, and finally had about a ten year career singing in Las Vegas and doing live shows. You should watch early Elvis. Or, listen to the Sun Sessions. He performed many times on a Variety Show called the Ed Sullivan show with some epic performances. Enjoy your entertaining reactions.
I was 17 when this was made. I was one of the screaming teens in love with him. Living through this time was a dream. Elvis was like no other! 💖💖💖
Elvis was loaded with tons of charisma talent and charm -- and oh yeah, one hell of a stage performer with one hell of a voice. He loved his fans and always tried to give them the best show he could.
The full concert is great and hilarious with his antics. Elvis’ was a prankster and had so much fun during this special. The concert is on Amazon in its entirety. HIGHLY RECOMMEND EVERYBODY WATCH.
A man ain’t got no business lookin’ like that. He was such a handsome man.
My mum is a huge Elvis fan. Every time she gives me a compliment, she ends it with "...but you're no Elvis!" :'D
You wouldn't say that if he was a shy dude working at McDonalds.
@@smurfvolvo He was a shy dude.
@@TheHuxleyAgnostic hahahahaha! No...
@CJ P. nope.
i just watched your video. I really enjoy seeing new generations becoming Elvis fans! My mother is almost 75 and she watched him on the Ed Sullivan show in 1956 and he was considered shocking for the time they would only film him from the waste up because of the way he swiveled his hips. Crazy right? My mother had a huge crush on him. He would be 86 this month if he were alive. He died in 1977 when I was only 6, so, I don't have any memory of him when I was that age but later on my mother introduced and made me a Elvis fan and she remembered this was his 1968 Comeback Special he hadn't performed live in years because he had been contractually bound to doing many movies and it was really innovative for 1968. Elvis is gorgeous and he unfortunately passed away at 42 his body gave out to the prescription drug abuse he had done. So sad really. He was a complex man a awesome performer and awesome to all his fans and he gave and gave and gave cars jewelry houses whatever he felt like when he was moved to anyone many strangers received gifts from him men women all ages. Was very respectful of his elders and of all people. He could charm the pants off of just about anybody. His personal group of guys who worked for him saw his other side he had a temper and could be difficult in private but the poor man had so much stress on him and he felt so obligated to take care of relatives and people who worked for him. He never wanted any gifts in return just loyal friendship. You should read his ex wife's book Elvis and Me Priscilla Presley and if you are in the West Tennessee area you should visit his home Graceland and museum by it opened for tours and has many of his costumes from performances and movies his cars. The two airplanes he had. I think you would really enjoy it. I really did and it's really knowledgable telling you his story from him being born in a shotgun shack in Tupelo Mississippi his parents were sharecroppers and they were dirt dirt poor no indoor plumbing or lighting. He grew up without anything and never forgot it and he was close to his parents and adored his mother he treated her like a queen bought her a pink Cadillac in the late 50's she died in her 40's from health issues he threw himself on her coffin clutching the house coat he bought her. He was a twin and his twin was stillborn and his parents didn't have anymore children. You can't help but love him everyone did there's always a few people with attitude problems find some reason not to he was a good man.
Amen
His Vocals just got stronger as he got older and his voice changed from the 50's and 60's to what it was in the 70's. ICON!!
Thank you. Loved it. He was the most versatile singer in history. Sold more records over a billion and a half, more than any group or singer in the history of the world, no one came close. Has more fan clubs than anyone in the world to this very day. I wouldn't start this journey because you won't want to quit. But if you do start this journey you're going to have a fun ride. He loved God and people and probably one of the most generous persons ever.:)
there will never be another the G O.A.T.
What you hear in his voice is passion, heart , soul. What you see is pure talent, commitment to his craft, putting everything he has and who he is into the song. He leaves it all on the stage.
That was part of his come back special in 1968. He is and always will be the KING.
Elvis will forever be a icon. 😎
The whole 68 comeback is a real jammer. Keep listening and watching him. He's going to addict you to him!
one of my faves
I was fortunate to see him live a few times. His voice was unparalleled then and still now. He unfortunately died way before his time, depriving millions the opportunity to see him perform in concert. There will NEVER be another like him.
Isnt it amazing how he could take such a simple song with simple instruments and just by applying his charisma and amazing voice he made it such a strong performance. Didnt need auto tune, no help from electronics except the guitar - just his own talent applied.
Best performer and artist that ever walked the earth... that's why he's the KING. One thing about Elvis too is that even MEN love Elvis - he appealed to both genders.
Elvis Presley was the greatest insprition that there ever was a his music was very up lifting a compassionate.
As someone who grew up with Elvis' music, it's awesome to see and hear it again from someone who it's all new to. She's learning what our generation has know for decades. Elvis was The Man!
You should watch him sing "Memories" in this same special. His voice is pure gold! And that smile!
You’d fall in love with Elvis in 3,2,1...... yep, he gotcha 🔥🤣
You should watch Elvis If I Can Dream. The one from the 68 comeback where he is wearing the white suit. Quite possibly the most powerful performance ever. The song was written because Elvis was upset about the MLK assasination and he wanted something special to end the show with.
Just like to mention that MLK was murdered in Elvis' home town of Memphis and it really saddened Elvis. Elvis said about MLK that he always spoke the truth. Colonel Parker didn't want Elvis to record If I Can Dream but Elvis loved it. Just a few times when Elvis got his own way with Parker.
That song came from the depth of his soul, heart and mind whenever I hear it it's like listening to it for the first time I was only ten at that time.
The report on the complete facts of the SONG "IF I CAN DREAM" Elvis Presley The King Elvis Presley Home Elvis Home › Graceland › Elvis News › Elvis Biography › Elvis Interviews › Sitemap › The assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Memphis, as well as that of U.S. Senator Robert Kennedy, affected Elvis Presley deeply. These feelings led Elvis to give one of the most passionate performances of his career. America was in the midst of an upheaval in 1968. The Civil Rights movement was in full swing and our world and culture were changing. Within a short span of time, two leaders were assassinated. Dr. King was assassinated April 4, 1968, in Memphis - Elvis's hometown. Robert Kennedy, Assassinated in Los Angeles, June 6,1968, a US Senator who strongly supported human rights and social justice, was killed two months later, on June 6. It was Elvis's reaction to the news of both King and Kennedy's assassination that lead to the creation of the song 'If I Can Dream', a tribute song to King, featuring direct quotes from the Civil Rights leader. In the spring of '68, Elvis was working on his upcoming TV special, 'Elvis'. After seeing the news about Kennedy's death on TV, Elvis spent an entire night with the show's director, Steve Binder, and his friends, talking about the assassinations and Elvis's wishes for the world. The conversation was heartfelt and honest, and Binder believed Elvis had an important message for the country. Binder then went to the show's Musical Director Billy Goldenberg and songwriter Earl Brown and told them about the discussion. He wanted a powerful, meaningful song that would close out the TV special. Because the special was slated to air in December, the producers and Elvis's manager, Col. Tom Parker, had planned to end the show with a Christmas song, but Binder had other ideas. It wasn't long before 'If I Can Dream was born. Once the song was finished, Binder took the song to Elvis and played it for him. 'Let me hear it again', said Elvis, and the song was played again and again. 'Okay', Elvis said, 'I'll do it'. On June 23, 1968, Elvis recorded 'If I Can Dream in several impassioned takes, even though it is said that the first take Elvis gave was perfect. The king gave such a powerful performance that some band members were taken aback, so blown away by Elvis's performance that they had to do several retakes. It was after the band and backup singers were sent home that Elvis gave an even more astonishing performance as he re-recorded the vocals. Elvis had the lights turned off and gave himself over to the music. Over the next few takes, he fell to his knees on the concrete floor, giving himself completely to the song. After those takes, Elvis went to the control room and had his chosen take played repeatedly before he gave it his blessing. Elvis was so moved by the song and his experience with it that he told Binder, I'll never sing another song I don't believe in. I'm never going to make another movie I don't believe in'. 'If I Can Dream was featured at the end of Elvis's Singer Special (later known as the '68 Special) on December 3, 1968. This was the first time the public heard the song, and it was later released as a single with 'Edge of Reality (recorded for the film 'Live a Little, Love a Little') as its flip-side in November 1968. The single spent 13 weeks on the U.S. pop chart peaking at #12. In the U.K., it was on the chart for 10 weeks, peaking at #11. It is now a Gold Record single. Elvis Presley Lyrics Words & Music by W. Earl Brown Elvis Presley Lyrics There must be lights burning brighter somewhere Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue If I can dream of a better land Where all my brothers walk hand in hand Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true There must be peace and understanding sometime Strong winds of promise that will blow away All the doubt and fear If I can dream of a warmer sun Where hope keeps shining on everyone Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear We're lost in a cloud With too much rain We're trapped in a world That's troubled with pain But as long as a man Has the strength to dream He can redeem his soul and fly Deep in my heart there's a trembling question Still I am sure that the answer gonna come somehow Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle And while I can think, while I can talk While I can stand, while I can walk While I can dream, please let my dream Come true, right now Let it come true right now Oh yeah Recorded: 1968/06/23, first released on single
This is from his 1968 comeback TV special.
And the answer to your question 2871 is definitely yes, she is stunningly beautiful.
I was 4 years old and I remember this because I was so excited, I got to watch Elvis and have my very first piece of steak. That was the very same day I decided I wanted to play guitar.
His voice is awesome 👏
The KING ✨👑✨
The King! Elvis was electrifying with his dance moves and voice that when you hear it you know it's Elvis. I'd love to see you react to
"Polk Salad Annie" live in Las Vegas 1970.
God definetely had to spend more than "six days" (besides the mother earth) to create such a talented and good looking human being. Wow!!!
Elvis is the king of music, got the most powerful voice ever,no one can replicate his voice tone ever.
I was 6 years old when Elvis died in 78. have always loved his music There will never be another King like him.
‘77
Elvis died August 16, 1977.
If you go to the dictionary and look up "hot" you will find Elvis as the definition. Two other great songs from this concert are 'One Night With You' & 'Baby, What You Want Me To Do.'
lol!! seriously?!
@@TOOSUSHI Seriously. 😄
@@TOOSUSHI and one called ""If I can Dream" about MLK
And to think CBS wanted to cancel this performance because they said he was sweating to bad and wouldn't carry over to the viewing audience when in fact it got them humongous ratings, his great great grandmother was a full Indian those chiseled features sure showed up in this video ,A handsome man , gorgeously dreamy eyes, sexy smile , long slim body and he's sweating that's eye candy for any red blooded woman, What was wrong with CBS ?
Wasn't around yet! A little before I was born. But my mom left me a bunch of Elvis 45's! Those sideburns were called Mutton chops!
This man had it all no one will ever sound like him and that’s that don’t care what anyone else says the best singer of all time and Performer 🇺🇸🇮🇪 R I P the KING Elvis .
Elvis was truly an artist for the people !
I was 11 when I discovered Elvis. It was 1995 so well after his death. Became a super fan very quickly. The comeback special always reminds me of the early years when I would watch over and over and over because I couldn't get enough of him. Still can't.
His voice had a huge range when he was young. An opera singer called him a freak. In one of his songs he went from baritone to high tenor and he had his voice under total control all of the time.
He played and sang this song in E .Sang a lot of his songs in E .Jailhouse rock ,one night with you,.E is a good key ,but when you have to hit high E that takes a good range to hit it easy.
I was eight years old when I saw Elvis' first performance on the Ed Sulllivan show. A year later I saved enough money from running errands for my mother to buy his first album, titled simply "Elvis Presley". This song was on it. When I just listened to after it was over I could hear another Elvis song in my head "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Cry Over You". I looked online for the track listing of that album, and sure enough, that was the song that immediately followed this one on the album. I had played that album over and over so many times, that almost sixty-five years later, hearing "Trying to Get to You" triggered my mind to anticipate the next song on the album!
Of course He is different and unique,He is ELVIS, The King of Rock n Roll.
I grew up listening to him watching his movies I've always loved him. I love the way he changes his voice high a low. There was nobody that could sing like Elvis Presley he was the best singer a Entertainer there ever was. Elvis was different a unique he had his own style he was so emotional a oh so gorgeous.
I was a kid back in the 50's when Elvis first hit the scene. Watched him skyrocket to the "king of rock-n-roll" status.
Elvis's fans were sooo much in AWE about him that they wouldn't dream of doing anything to mess him up - or mess up his show. There was RESPECT for him and all entertainers back then.
Nailed it about the RESPECT thing.
He had quite the range. He always amazed people with the notes he could hit. No this was not the norm but Elvis was able to do things most mortal men couldn't. Glad you liked it.
Elvis had been away from singing live for years The Beatles got big and he felt obscure and was afraid his popularity had waned. Man, at 33yrs old, he hit that 1968 TV comeback special decked out in black leather ,curled his lip,gave that piercing bedroom stare,
and released that great powerful voice. He reignited his career. 42yrs after his tragic death at 42 also, he still sounds as fresh as ever He is the greatest ever hands down end of story
Clyde Barrow Wasn’t he also in the army during this time?
@@ruthjohnson4380 He was in the Army from 1958-1960.
Glad you're enjoying Elvis and from the comments it seems you're introducing him to a whole new generation. Nice Job!
This one might seem strange to you because he's singing a country song here, not a rock song. He sang damn near every type of music from gospel to country to rock-n-roll.
For meaningful ballads, you might try "In The Ghetto" or "If I Can Dream" (He sang this with MLK in mind)
If you want to see him dance too, there's always "Jailhouse Rock" or "Bossa Nova Baby".
When you get down to it you really can't go wrong with whatever Elvis song you choose. Just make sure it's got video with it.
Yes, he was very versatile. In "Wooden Heart" (ruclips.net/video/Hlbu6SsjlSE/видео.html) he sang in German with an oompah band as backup!
In The Ghetto is not a ballad. For more heart throbbing try One Night With You.
Elvis was so beautiful. Insanely good looking, unreal.
There's a reason he was called The King!
Cissy Houston, Whitney's Mom sang back up for Elvis. She said that when she first saw Elvis in person, she was stunned. She said that he was the most gorgeous man she had ever seen in her life.
Whitney says the when she met Elvis in his dressing room she became a woman right then and there.
Kimberly M I used to worked with a girl who grew up in Hawaii. She saw saw Elvis making Blue Hawaii when she 12 and she said he was the most beautiful man she has ever seen in her entire life. Both Elvis and Priscilla were absolutely stunning in their youth.
@@polows what they fuck is that supposed to mean lol?
@@josuevazquez5889 That was a quote from Whitney Houston that I saw on video. She clearly meant that he brought on puberty right then and there.
Thats pure Animal magnetism, The Male Animal side of Elvis at its finest, in this special. Rare breed these days.
Dd
Its okay to be breath-taken. The king has that affect on everyone.
He was a King for a reason
His raw vocal talent
His style both in music and in clothes, hair style, his moves (wich is all recognized even to this day..40+ years later after his death, pretty impressive😂)
His good looks lol
His Humor
His confidence (In the 68 Special he makes a few mistakes and just says "Wait a min, wait a min, i forgot the lyrics" and just jokes about it and starts again 😂)
His kindess and compassion too (He bought his cook a house and a car, more stories of him being kind and generous)
We honestly lost a great person to look up too, we dont see many of them to this day
My Mom loved Elvis. I remember seeing this back in the day as a child. He captured an audience that's for sure, and when he passed it hit everyone.
I was 4 when this performanc was done.
That's Elvis. He could work his vocals that's why he is the king
The version here was in 68 or so - Elvis's "coming home" concert after his hitch in the Army. He recorded the first version of this on March 23, 1955 - unreleased - and the second on July 11, 1955. I was 10 yrs back old then and rock-n-roll was just a new-born infant. What a great time to be alive. And it was an amazing time, Sushi - a time when entertainers didn't have to worry about unruly or dangerous fans. There was respect in those days - and if you were lucky enough to be sitting that close, you just basked in the glow of the talent and bragging rights next day at school. Side burns - Elvis set the trend and all us *cool* guys had em - mutton-chops we called them. PS: Sitting close - I went to a jazz concert in Seattle a couple years ago - Keiko Matsui - it was a dinner club and I was sitting literally right behind her on her piano. I could have reached up and pinched her ***.
When he came on the scene in 54 -55 - I was a high school kid. I saw him become a part of our teen lives. Now I'm 83 and still rock with him in the car - at home - on my boat. We (now old teens) were blessed and lucky to have grown up listening to him...
Nice! American Trilogy! If I can dream a song written in tribute to the great Dr. MLK! Both amazing! Thank you!!!!!!!
Check out his version of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" & "You've Lost That Loving Feeling". Two classic performances! Keep up the great work!!!!
Sorry but he destroyed them both
@@brendanharding6699 And by destroying, are you referring to his interpretation of the songs? Please explain. Was it his bad singing?? The bad musicians?? His stage presence?? The fact that the audience is eating it up?? Just because it doesn't sound like the original, doesn't necessarily equal destroying in my opinion.
@@chester187 OK, ruined great songs then
@@brendanharding6699 Ok, so how did he ruin them?
@@chester187 listen, I like elvis but In my opinion he sang those songs badly - they weren't good to listen to.
I love your reviews. Great personality. And Whoever put a ring on your finger is a smart man. Absolutely Beautiful!
I was 14 years old and watched this on TV. I had "fallen in love" with Elvis when I was 7 years old when I saw "Blue Hawaii" in our local movie theater. When I was 11 years old my mother gently informed me that Elvis had gotten married. I was 23 years old when Elvis died. I had just graduated from college and was starting my nursing career. The day Elvis died my two roommates were home discussing which one of them was going to have to deliver the bad news to me. I heard the bad news on the radio as I was driving around doing errands which removed the burden from my roommates. I feel very lucky to have experienced Elvis when he was alive. His greatness was apparent to me at age 7.
I loved this man all my teen age yrs a adult life to he is so gorgeous a the best singer a Entertainer that ever lived. I loved his Expressions a high a low voice. You talk about feeling the music nobody ever did it better then Elvis presley nobody. He had such a funny a great scence of Humor a a religious believeing man.
My grandma was a huge Elvis fan. She was 61 when she saw him in concert.
@*BORUTO* / She was born in 1914. She's been dead almost 20 years.
Wow incredible
@*BORUTO* / Elvis died August 16, 1977. She saw him in 1975.
We played Amazing Grace by Elvis at her funeral.
I went through a Buddy Holly phase, a Ricky Nelson Phase, Everly Brothers...Elvis just always seemed too obvious and going along with the crowd never appealed to me. It is so clear to me now that God saved Elvis in my life for my mid-forties and I am just blown away daily by this man's incredible talents, charisma, soul, charm, sex appeal, all of it. It moves the spirit. It's like we all know Beethoven is amazing but how many of us sit and listen closely to Beethoven? We just know he was great. When you spend time with Elvis really listening, the emotion he put into his work and singing ability...and my God what he could do to an audience by pulling his thumb across 6 strings and smiling.
SAME! Grew up with my parents listening to oldies, so I'd heard his more mainstream music and had heard all the stuff about ladies loving him etc., but had no appreciation for him as a truly exceptional artist and person until, for some reason, I got pulled in a few weeks ago at mid-30s. Now I GET IT. Total respect for the man.
He's amazing in every way! Looks, voice and charisma. I get goosebumps and emotionally overwhelmed listening to him and wstching him. 😭😭😍❤
Same here. Once I start watching I can't stop for hrs. You just can never get enough even after all these years
Although Elvis died years before I was born, he is my favorite! Truly an amazing performer and singer. And if you think his fans were close at this sit-down performance at the '68 Comeback Special - just and an fyi - he was known for kissing his fans during his concerts in the 70s. Like a lot of kissing. lol
I seen elvis in concert in mid seventy.s.my dream came too.
Elvis really showing what he and his voice could do... never fails to please.
Thank you, love your reaction!
I am buying every word this guy is singing! I believe this is a true story he is singing
Lordy, he looks like he was chiseled out of stone, then God breathed soul and charisma into him. 😍😉😉💕💕💕This was being filmed for a tv special so it was very intimate. I have seen him lean down and give a fan a kiss when she handed him something. The sideburns are called mutton chops and were all the rage back in the day. They even got longer and thicker in later performances.
Those aren't really muttons..just sayin'..he had muttonchops for real later.
@@philpotts3893
You are right. I had just watched a later video and fuzzy brain is my only excuse. Sushi, you will know the mutton chops when you see them. Thanks, Phil🤷♀️😉🤦♀️
I remember watching this. I was 14. Swooned. Loved him in Blue Hawaii, Viva Las Vegas. 👏💕💕
You've Lost that Loving Feeling by Elvis. You're going to love it.
So proud of our younger people are listening to him. He would have so loved y'all
Elvis was a more than human - a musical genius and spiritual soul. 1 in a billion
