I was born two years after he was gone, i was brought up on music, i have listened to everything, every style of music, i have seen many artists live. My favourite my hero is Elvis, the older i get the more i love him and realize he will always be the greatest artist of all time the King of music
In 1959 , Elvis rode in to a small Restaurant on a Harley with 2 more riders . In a small town Odonville, Alabama. My dad and mom , me and my Sister were eating. I was only 8 , but my mom and dad knew exactly who he was .He paid for our dinner and talk with my dad as if just a normal thing . Never forgot that. He was a very sweet caring man .
We often drive a wedge when we are sharing the Gospel. She said timing is everything. He is not prideful and boastful. Jumping the gun and laying on scripture out of season (heavy handed, pressure laced altar call) could snap that person off like a twig. She said if you approach a person with the old "one hit wonder" deal (instant change) you better be willing to share the cost. There must be follow through. If there isn't any functionality for development/companionship DO NOT bring His Name into it. She said if you can't deliver, shut your mouth or you'll be responsible for the outcome of your poor stewardship. ------So many things she taught me. Very logical. Down to earth. REAL. I wish she was still alive. She sang "Bridge" while rocking me as a baby. I remember.
That warmed my heart. My Mother was a DEVOUT follower of Jesus Christ. She taught me to reach people through the back door. And that sometimes you don't preach the Word and even mention Him when a person is REALLY in bad shape. She said He demands you focus on the priority, which is the Soul. The brokenness.
No vocal training, no real instrument training, no auto tune or ear piece, he picked out his musicians & backup singers, he never wrote songs yet arranged them, never had highly paid arrangers for his shows, He was the show, one man, one voice there to make his audience happy and provide a brief escape from their troubles. RIP!
I saw in in 1977 six months before he passed. He had gained at, but he was magnificent! I loved him as long had I can remember, even as a little girl. I was blessed to have seen him, still listen to him and love to look at him. What a man!
@@itze_ I'm a musician and I study music at the Conservatory of my town. Jacob has nothing to do with Elvis, I was curious and just tonight I've listened to the Jacob Collier studio version even the live version. Collier uses so many modern technologies that help a lot to do a show and he disguises the original song "Bridge over troubled water". There's no the same feeling, strength, emotions and shades of the Elvis version, even the choirs of Elvis are more genuine. As I was listening to the beginning of the studio version I thought that Jacob was trying to imitate Michael Jackson.
...and is able to recognize that this is sung by a man who laid himself down like a bridge over troubled water for so many people that surrounded him, and people he met and who were in need. Elvis needed such a bridge but the bridges were always too short and not wide enough to ease his mind and pain for a longer period of time. So he helped himself, as well and as often as he could, by being that bridge for others.
his singing teacher in school said he couldn’t sing , he proved her wrong and became the greatest entertainer who ever lived , no one will ever come close to the king . Fr Canada 🇨🇦
You're absolutely right, there's no one better than this man. I'm a classical musician and don't know about any non-classical singer who could reach even Elvis' feet.
I’m over 60 and feel it , at least in my bod - feel 30 in mind ! One of the first songs that I can remember hearing was from Elvis and I’ve been a fan ever since . Never got to see him live , wish I could’ve . I was 14 myself when Elvis came to KC - I lived 50 miles north . Dad said I was too young to try to go that there’d be another time . Unfortunately , there wasn’t . He is the GOAT !!!
He was the greatest entertainer that ever lived ,besides the most gorgeous beautiful sexy man I have ever seen. I loved him then and I love him still today.🥰🥰😘👅💋💋👀❤️❤️❤️❤️
I agree. Fullness. Depth. Warmth. Could hit highs and lows. Probably in such good shape he could make low tones audible where others couldn't. I know opera singers personally and they both rave about his skills.
I know I've said it somewhere before this comment, but I must again. This is the greatest live performance ever. Period. This is a 36 year old man, gone from the music scene for a long while thanks to Uncle Sam and Colonel Parker and his dream of Elvis as a movie star. I've seen most all of them, rock and roll speaking, the Stones, Queen with Freddie, Jethro Tull, on and on. This performance puts every other one to second place at maximum. They didn't call him the King for nothing you know...thank you Elvis Presley for changing the world forever, in a great way...RIP ELVIS PRESLEY
Friend, congratulations on your words. In another video of this song (original version with subtitles in Portuguese), a Brazilian fan was very happy to express the following words (facts): "... there are good singers, there are great singers, there are excellent, wonderful, spectacular singers... . and... there is Elvis Presley"!!!!
I agree with you that "This is the greatest live performance ever" among popular music and rock and roll singers. In fact, we have an unimpeachable authority on the quality of this performance: none other than Paul Simon, the composer and original singer of this song (along with Art Garfunkel) was blown away when he saw video of this. He considered it the best version out of hundreds of covers, and said something like, "How can you compete with that?"
God almighty. His voice was just beyond anything that anyone else can produce. He can be delicate, warm and then blow the back wall down. A gorgeous arrangement, too. Perfect.
Got you beat. I am 72 and was going to his movies at age ten. I loved Elvis. I was at my mom's house when we heard on the radio that he had died. We were both so sad...
All those who love good music from a man who knew how to communicate and transmit hope and love to a wicked world which destroyed him. RIP Elvis you are one-off, much loved and missed.
@@HawkeClan69 Simon and Garfunkel were amazing, and gave this Elvis cover of the song their highest praise. The arrangement (by Elvis) and vocalists are hauntingly beautiful.
For you youngsters that listen to music from the 80's until now. You have just witnessed the finest entertainer to ever grace the earth. You should have noticed by now that the voice is crystal clear and you can understand the words, and the music has tune and rhythm. Enjoy while you still can.
its not a question over who was better than who or who did the greatest this or that.its just a fine performance in a soulfull way from someone who people dont really know his immense quality and the stuff he recorded such as countless blues and gospel tracks
"You have just witnessed the finest entertainer to ever grace the earth." - Woah hold your horses, that is YOUR subjective meaning. I completely disagree with this statement. "You should have noticed by now that the voice is crystal clear" - Actually this is NOT crystal clear, at least not in my ears. Too much vibrato if I might add. If there is something that's *crystal* clear it's the horns and the piano playing.
Today we think back to the day the World stood still : 16th August 1977, Elvis Presley had died. I was 18. I was devastated, I cried a lot, bought more of his records... He was loved in my Country. Even the older folks liked Elvis because he sang beautiful gospel songs. Thank you Elvis for the legacy you left behind. You will never be forgotten. ✝️🙏🎧🎶🇿🇦🌍😥❤️
SHEER BRILLIANCE, AND TO KNOW THIS IS LIVE, NO AUTO TUNE, NO BACKING TRACK, PURE VOCAL ARTISTRY AT IT'S BEST, ELVIS FOREVER, STAY SAFE, AUSTRALIA, 🇦🇺🇺🇲💯❤️👍
When I get upset about life I watch Elvis sing and remember that he was such a wonderful man and I try hard to keep a good heart because that's what I loved about him the most his beautiful heart❤I still cry because I miss him so dearly
That is so very true I am 54 years old and I have not seen or heard of no one doing WHAT ELVIS PRESLEY at all R.I.P HIS MOM & DAD AND THE REST OF THE PRESLEY FAMILY
“When I first heard Elvis perform ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ it was unbelievable. I thought to myself, ‘How the hell can I compete with that?'” Paul Simon
But at the same time you can see he's not forcing it, he's having fun, smiling, even if he misses a tone or anything he just goes with it.. Natural talent
@@mullaoslo Before every concert elvis would go over and over again to get it done right he band said it had to be perfect not good perfect he would rehearse for weeks and hours to get it rite he pleased fans not just a show he meant it
I LOVE the wording of your comment...except I wish you would’ve said “King Of Music!” As Elvis said “There is only one King! I am just an entertainer!” 😁
This is an outstanding performance, simply the best, but to say that Elvis "never walked through a song" is a bit of a stretch. In many of his concerts in the 1970s he would quickly "walk through" some of the original big hits from the 1950s like Hound Dog, All Shook Up, etc. because fans still wanted to hear those songs but he didn't want to spend much energy or time on them.
No one sang this song like Elvis. No one could sing like Elvis… PERIOD. My grandfather was Elvis’ superior whilst he was in the Army in Germany. They remained friends. I have no sisters and Lisa was an only child; so Elvis asked my parents if I’d like to live at Graceland each summer. They were the best 5 summers of my childhood. I would go to Graceland for Christmas sometimes, too. Elvis LOVED Christmas! We had our own closed world. I lived at Graceland from the ages of 7-11. I was there that awful August day in 1977 when he died. It was so sad. Then Lisa Marie’s son died via self-inflicted GSW, and then Lisa. 💔 Lisa was a grandmother when she died. Danielle Riley Keough’s daughter is named “Tupelo Storm Smith-Petersen.” Her middle name is “Storm,” as was her brother’s. Benjamin was born in Florida during a terrible storm. Before going on stage at this concert, a man called one of the Sweet Inspirations the “N word.” It was Cissy Houston, mother of Whitney Houston. Elvis had security kick the guy out! At :38 Elvis looks at Cissy Houston whilst singing the lyrics, “I’m on your side.” He smiled as he looked at her.
I am Chinese born and a fan from 1958 to now...close to 60 years. During this time many great entertainers have appeared. Beatles, Stones, BGees, Roy Orbison,Michael Jackson and others. I especially loved Abba. But truly I believe none can come close to Elvis. He was just special and even the other greats must agree as many of them have done publicly. There will not be another one like him and for sure not in my life time. He is America's greatest gift to the world.
Persona Email: As I stated in my initial comment, a Professor of music attributed Elvis' extraordinary vocals to where his vocal registers were placed. We know vocal register placement is determined during 9 month pregnancy. If one believes (and I do), in divinity, then God chose to give Elvis those vocals for a divine purpose and we will never know that exact, specific divine purpose.
Paul Simon said: Elvis version was unbelievable! He said: how can I compete with that!😍

He can't..... Elvis was the most incredibly handsome man with the most incredible voice.....his legacy and life is the epoch for which the 20th century was built. He was one in a 1 trillion.....we might not see another human being bring so much to the table for another 1000 years. Incredible in every way.
HE CAN & HE DID Paul is a very humble man. and his music ALLOWS us to do these amazing covers he was VERY complimentary to disturbed version of sound of silence YES I agree that this Elvis version is AMAZING but I prefer the original by the person who wrote it , and Paul got a fat check every time Elvis performed it .
@@sixfoursoul2538 There isn't "an original by the person who wrote it" dummy...Paul wrote it Art Garfunkel sang it. So you're basically talking out your "preferred" ass
There are very few songs Elvis covered that were not better than the original the only one i can think of is Bob Dylans tomorrow is a long time. Unfortunately Dylan's version is better in my opinion. But ANY OTHER SONG Elvis EVER covered was 1000x better than the original!!! #facts!
@James: Ich kann das verstehen. In meinen schlechten Zeiten gab mir Elvis sehr viel Kraft. That's exactly what Elvis wanted. Elvis greatest wish was that he wanted to make people happy.
Best performance ever, not only by Elvis but litterly de best performance i’ve ever heard and saw. The voice, the band, the background vocals everything is spot on. This man was truly the king.
Elvis Presley will always be the King of Rock and roll to me love him always love his style and grace he was so captivating smooth southern style no one better his greatest fan Raelene Newton cheers xxoo 💖👍
It's said when Elvis sang songs like this even the Angels in heaven are weeping I would have to agree cause here on earth our souls can be shaken like no other and who says there is no God ask the Gentleman who was an anthiest after he heard this song sung by Elvis felt something that he couldn't understand .......
@@joecelozzi305 Many cannot fathom the supernatural character of God. His Mystery. His ability to speak to us through non cyber means: a door opening at just the right moment, an unanticipated sharp cool breeze on a cloudless hot day when no one else is around. Just you with He in your thoughts. He Is Alive.
Yes, that is the greatest miracle of ELVIS. How can He be so alive when seen and heard on videos, He is still able to sweep us off our feet and fall under his irresistible spell. A POWERFUL SPELL that seems to live on and on, Forever.
I'm going through cancer at the moment and if I don't make it I will have this song at my funeral...what a voice...I've never heard this song sung so amazing
Ο θεός να σου δώσει την ίαση. Κύριε Ιησού Χριστέ Υιέ του Θεού δια πρεσβειών της παναχράντος σου Μητρός και πάντων σου των Αγίων ελέησε και ίασε την αδελφή ψυχή
Paul Simon went to see Elvis in Las Vegas. Elvis sang, and Paul Simon said something to the effect of, " that's it! We should just all quit now!", meaning he totally admired and his version. Elvis was and is The King!
Indeed❣I always think of Elvis as a most beautiful gift from God...one man that can make so very many hearts feel goodness and love ❤. Elvis is Heaven sent..🥰🙌🏼🎤🎶♾🤎💯
I've heard quite of few people sang this heartfelt song and they all did good. But, the voice of Elvis Presley is much more stronger and powerful. He sang it perfectly. I can listen to Elvis all day every day!!. This man is/was AWESOME.
That is a biblical voice. Its stirs your soul. I am not religious this man brings me to tears 42 years after his death. He will do it as long as he is heard. Bless.
Nothing comforts me more than hearing Elvis sing this song. It is exquisite. No other vocalist compares. He was a musical genius moved by God. Even Paul Simon was floored.
My favorite moment is the "Sail on silver girl" part. I love how his voice get low "See how they shine, Oh if you need a friend". It sounds like a lullaby to me. So I dedicate this part to my daughter.
I've Listened to the song Bridge Over Troubled Water, performed by Elvis Presley so many Times, I can't count and I Still can't get Enough of It 👍👍 May 22 /2024
Quote from a famous (in Brazil) and deceased singer: "Elvis Presley's voice is the only one I can listen to, repeatedly, every day, without getting tired"!!!
UGH the last note!!! OMG!!! He was INCREDIBLE!!!!! Listen to the very last word...just one word... MIND and his voice!!! This is THE BEST version of this song EVER!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
The 3:00 part to the end is my favorite part. Gosh it's just amazing the way he sings. My mom would play his music and we watched this on VHS. It takes me back to when she was alive . Elvis was just a gift to this world that you will never see again. You just watch him sing and get drawn in.
There will never be another Elvis. He was everything. Beauty, voice, charisma, talent, generous heart and a stage presence and entertainer that can never be matched. He is missed.
When Paul Simon wrote Bridge Over Troubled Water, It Became a Goldmine here on Earth, But When Elvis Presley recorded Bridge Over Troubled Water it Transcended To The Heavens Above and it Became Clear that it was a Christian Song ☝️🙏❤️
Bridge over troubled water is probably Paul Simons number one masterpeice, among many masterpiece songs. This version from Elvis elevates it even further up in heaven high. What a composition from Simon! What a powerful vocals from the King!
I am so pleased my 16yr old son has discovered Elvis, albeit through the movie, but he 'gets it', the talent, the humour, the tenderness of EP, he's not listening to anything else at the moment. We even had to get him a taking care of business ring! Great stuff.
This is also happening to me. I am 43 and I didn't like or dislike Elvis, I just ignored him. After seing the movie (already two times) I am an absolute fan. His live performances are out of this world. He hits your heart on every note. He is probably the only one that performs better on stage than in the studio.
@@miquelmarti6537 It is so unreal that I was EXACTLY the same way. I did like some of Elvis' music, but did not pay much attention. The movie made me realise how much I was missing in my life without even knowing it. I spent three decades without Elvis and I am not wasting another second! Nobody in the world ever going match him and this is coming from a MJ fan!
I'm Gen X and just saw the movie with my Gen Z son. We both loved it! Be sure to sit and listen to the music during the ending credits..some amazing fusion in there: Eminem wordsmithing his way through The King and I (Jailhouse Rock beat!), and plenty of other artists.. Music truly transcends generation.. #Elvis #TCB
The movie? As in the new one? I thought it was terrible. Just my opinion, but jump cuts and barely covering his life with too many wasted shots and filller. Ugh. I watched it with my mother and she was mad we spent $7 to rent it. 😄
I was introduced to ELVIS from a very young age and when he died when I was 5, I was absolutely heartbroken. I loved this man and I will continue to do so, whether it is true or he HAD to get out BoB Joyce./ We will NEVER EVER be blessed with this voice again. EVER! There is only one ELVIS. Nobody can replace him no matter how times change.
I'm sitting here listening to this song and I've heard it a hundred times, and chills are running up and down my arms along with goose bumps. This man is the greatest singer of all time.
I’m only 20 years old now, my mother has brought me up with Elvis. Not a day goes by where he hasn’t been playing throughout my childhood. I am deeply moved by him. He has to be my favourite artist in the world. Nobody will ever come close. He is such a comfort to me. I would’ve loved to see him live, in another lifetime maybe. What a truly one of a kind talent and man. Rest peacefully King.
@Rach, research Pastor Bob Joyce and let me know what you think😉 Elvis has always loved the Lord, & he wanted out of the lifestyle he was living. If you go to his church, he sings there, but please be respectful and do not ask him if he is Elvis. The Lord has made all things new for him & that's the way he wants it. God bless him.❤
@@debbieg217 I have seen these rumours before but he loved his little girl so much and would not have ever left her and allowed her to mourn for him! One thing about Elvis too is that despite how he was doing at the time he did everything for his fans, until the end and I don’t believe he would ever fake his own death to hurt so many people
@@deadpoetstodd agreed! I know people desperately want to believe he is alive but what they don't fully realise is that Elvis is still with us. Not in a physical disguise as another person but his spirit is still very much part of this world. Every time we play his music, watch his films, 'attend' his live performances we are continuing to mark his territory on this world. The biopic has brought Elvis completely into my life. Prior to that, he was on the sidelines as someone who had some good songs that I liked but now - my soul has been burst wide open! Honestly, because I have playing his music daily, watching his films and re-learning to play guitar - I feel Elvis giving me a sense of peace, contentment and motivation that I did not realise I was missing. Elvis is still with us and always will be. ❤️🎸
@@cinematicallyspeaking731 thank you so much for your comment. That was the most beautiful thing I have ever read. I am glad you’re immersing yourself in all things Elvis and realising what a true phenomenon he was and how impactful he was on so many people including myself. I am only 20 and have loved him since i was 7 because of my mothers influences. His spirit and love will be with everyone forever. You’re soo right, he’s never really ‘gone’ I’m not very religious myself but Elvis was and I’d like to believe that god wanted him back for himself. He was too special and good for this world. Thanks again for your comment ❤️⚡️ TCB x
Another phenomenal fact about this is Elvis didn’t have any stage monitors so he couldn’t hear himself. How he stays on pitch and key is absolutely incredible
This is incredible. I've been a fan my entire life and didn't know this. If you don't know this, no worries, but I have friends who will always challenge me on this stuff: Any idea where I can find the fact that you're referring to? Only found minimal stuff on a google search.
SFMC 98 I found it just by reading interviews with his sound guys. It looks like he didn’t have monitors until 1971, so two years after the Las Vegas shows started
Steven Yourke In the book “Careless Love - The Unmaking of Elvis Presley” it has interviews with his sound engineers who talk about how he didn’t have any type of monitors until 1971, and when he finally had them the first time, and he heard himself when he was singing See See Rider he turned around and looked at the sound man like a kid in a candy store. Also if he had monitors in 1969 and 1970 in Vegas, where are they at? There is tons of video footage and thousands of photos from all these shows but yet there isn’t a single video or photo with a monitor anywhere in it. Not even on the side of the stage.
@@syourke3 I think you're a little uninformed here. Generally, whenever you go to a concert, you'll see two types of speakers. You've got the ones that face the audience (the PA) and the ones that face the performers (the monitors). The performers can't hear the ones that face away from them, or if they can, its distant and poor quality. The ones on stage allow them to hear well. Nowadays, many performers use ear pieces instead of stage monitors.
Close your eyes folks and go back in a time machine to that period when Elvis sang this live and you are part of the audience. That’s how good this version is.

Still listening in 2024
Elvis died 47 years ago.
Yes record purchases are still huge 😮
Oh My God...who can ever beat the sound of this man's voice???
Nobody Ever
Tom Jones!!
James Heathfield, Metallica
Freddie Mercury, maybe!
Gorgeous, it's funny the songs are just ok on paper but him singing live is a different sport
The KING....hands down, What a voice!!
Grieving for my dear Dad just now. This gives me strength
God Bless you 🌹
❤❤🙏🙏 for you and your Dad
Sorry about ur dad❤
No autotune, no effects. Just his magic.
Yup...Autotune came out in the 90s
And 99% of artists use it or some type of back tracking. One of the few is Willie Nelson that does not use anything.
Mutch better than the original !
Wrong. Reverb is an effect, unless you think Elvis made his own reverb from his lungs.
Ja ganz genau😊😊😊
The King Of Music
I saw him in 1973, he performed this song that evening.... as I remember that ticket cost me $20 ... possibly the best $20 I ever spent.
@Backspin: It must be a godsend if you could see Elvis live.
Possibly?
Oh yeah
I saw him in 77 in Cincinnati. The tickets were 10 , 12 and 15 dollars !
So lucky you were there!!
Who’s listening to Elvis in 2024? Anyone besides me?
Oh yes everyday!!❤
Me too my late fiance loved Elvis as much many a little bit more than me I listen to alot of his songs and it bring back so many memories i know that their all up in heaven now watching down over us
Always!!
Get a life!!

Perfectly said sir because it could not be more true about Elvis Presley
I was on my first holiday without my folks, 16 years old. I remember so clearly..the world stood still.
Amen to that❤
There are the good singers. There are the best singers. And there is ELVIS, THE KING. Elvis will always be the best. Forever.
Hands down. He was the total package. Even other all time great singers, and actors were in awe with Elvis Presley
😂
👌👌
When i hear him sing, I feel it was Gods plan to bring him into this world, so we may all hear a voice of hope. God bless you Elvis.
BRAINWASHED
In 1959 , Elvis rode in to a small Restaurant on a Harley with 2 more riders . In a small town Odonville, Alabama. My dad and mom , me and my Sister were eating. I was only 8 , but my mom and dad knew exactly who he was .He paid for our dinner and talk with my dad as if just a normal thing . Never forgot that. He was a very sweet caring man .
Really wow 👌
Wow!
😍❤
You were blessed, how many would of loved that.
😊❤
My mum spent her final hours of life listening to Elvis sing, it was such a comfort to her. God Bless xx
God bless her. I will say a prayer for her💖
We often drive a wedge when we are sharing the Gospel. She said timing is everything. He is not prideful and boastful. Jumping the gun and laying on scripture out of season (heavy handed, pressure laced altar call) could snap that person off like a twig. She said if you approach a person with the old "one hit wonder" deal (instant change) you better be willing to share the cost. There must be follow through. If there isn't any functionality for development/companionship DO NOT bring His Name into it. She said if you can't deliver, shut your mouth or you'll be responsible for the outcome of your poor stewardship. ------So many things she taught me. Very logical. Down to earth. REAL. I wish she was still alive. She sang "Bridge" while rocking me as a baby. I remember.
That warmed my heart. My Mother was a DEVOUT follower of Jesus Christ. She taught me to reach people through the back door. And that sometimes you don't preach the Word and even mention Him when a person is REALLY in bad shape. She said He demands you focus on the priority, which is the Soul. The brokenness.
Your Mother did well by singing the song. Elvis provides care to the depths of the human Soul. God With You --- Emmanuel.
That’s what I have requested from my family. American trilogy or I will remember you. Anything he sings will do. I hope I see him in heaven.
No vocal training, no real instrument training, no auto tune or ear piece, he picked out his musicians & backup singers, he never wrote songs yet arranged them, never had highly paid arrangers for his shows, He was the show, one man, one voice there to make his audience happy and provide a brief escape from their troubles. RIP!
You said it very well and true!!
I was just thinking all of that while I was watching him here because like you said not many people know how far reaching his talent really was
He had the best voice I ever heard,
Elvis and The Beatles are untouchable.
Awesome comment
there is no human being on this planet who is even a close second to this man
I would like to hear Freddie Mercury and George Michael take a crack at this song.❤️
@@jdenino6022Well that's obviously not going to happen, but Clay Aiken did a great job covering it on American idol.
Only Bouke is close to him, not in being famous and known all of the planet, but take a listen at "my boy" that bouke sang
The Aretha version is tops too.
You got that right and no one will ever ever be greater than Elvis Presley
I never get fed up of listening to the sheer perfection in his voice ...anyone lucky enough to witness this performance were truly blessed..
❤😢
I saw in in 1977 six months before he passed. He had gained at, but he was magnificent! I loved him as long had I can remember, even as a little girl. I was blessed to have seen him, still listen to him and love to look at him. What a man!
I do. No one could sing this song better than Elvis. Who can today in the 2024, make it better?
Well, Jacob Collier just did a version
@@itze_

Bouke Scholten, look it up and you see that his voice and impressions is just like Elvis
Ever heard Aretha’s version?
@@chriseparent I Will try. Thank
He was always saying 'thank you' after every song. Its so respectful.
Common stage etiquette of the day. Nonetheless, you are right.
Plus several times he'd tell audience how great and beautiful they are
I heard, "Some water."
Wonderful human x
He was the king no theathitritcs
Whoever is listening to elvis in 2024 has amazing taste in music
Me I have been listening to Elvis since the 60,s
I'm 16 and Elvis is my favorite. It's sad what music has become. There will never be another Elvis.
Le King sera écouté à jamais
You dumb fucking clown? Do you not see MONEY causes all DEATHS!!! You fucking retard!!!!
Thank you.
Whoever is listening to Elvis in 2021 has awesome taste in music!
...and is able to recognize that this is sung by a man who laid himself down like a bridge over troubled water for so many people that surrounded him, and people he met and who were in need.
Elvis needed such a bridge but the bridges were always too short and not wide enough to ease his mind and pain for a longer period of time.
So he helped himself, as well and as often as he could, by being that bridge for others.
Me, almost 50 years fan of Elvis! Still my favourite .....
It Will NEVER get any BETTER than the KING!! ❤ ❤
Elvis forever ❤️❤️❤️❤️
My nana k sat down in my lap and played this song for me a few months before her death. Will always cherish this song.
Probobly the most gifted singing voice God has ever given a human being
So True
His range was not huge but he sang with such emotion ♥️
Not probably, he s
Anna Vajda lololol i think you should research first before you say that
@@AnnaLVajda No disrespect, but search Elvis Presley What Now My Love.
He was the GREATEST - no-one has ever come close.
God gifted him so very much! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Agree, again!
his singing teacher in school said he couldn’t sing , he proved her wrong and became the greatest entertainer who ever lived , no one will ever come close to the king . Fr Canada 🇨🇦
His teacher was probably jealous of his Voice and ability and God given Talent
Folks that performce is why Elvis will always be the King.
Elvis never died. Earth was just part of his tour.
Luv what you said
✨💖✨
Lady/dude, you 're a genius 👍.
Elvis will NEVER be Dead
❤ you just nailed it.
No lip syncing, no auto-tune; Simply, flawless!
Agree.
❤ never be another like this man .
Raw, God given talent! He gives it to only a few, and He gave it to Elvis in spades!
I'm Still listening to Bridge Over Troubled Water Elvis Presley. May 27. 2024. And Loving it ☝️🙏❤️‼️
June 8th 2024, long live the King!
Moi aussi j adore cette reprise part le King éternel ❤❤👑👑
Le King pouvait tout chanter c est ça les stars éternel merci à lui ❤❤👑👑
With you
So I do ❤
I'm spending my 14th bday listening to elvis. Can't think of a better artist
Happy Birthday! 🌹You have excellent taste in music! He is the best there is... Enjoy the Elvis experience. 👍 from South Africa.🇿🇦
You're absolutely right, there's no one better than this man. I'm a classical musician and don't know about any non-classical singer who could reach even Elvis' feet.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Be happy, Im just 60, but feel like a 40s. This eve I just be awake and listening Elvis all night long.
I’m over 60 and feel it , at least in my bod - feel 30 in mind ! One of the first songs that I can remember hearing was from Elvis and I’ve been a fan ever since . Never got to see him live , wish I could’ve . I was 14 myself when Elvis came to KC - I lived 50 miles north . Dad said I was too young to try to go that there’d be another time . Unfortunately , there wasn’t . He is the GOAT !!!
It’s more than just perfect pitch. It’s the warmth and depth. There will never be another like Elvis.
He had a perfect pitch
He was the greatest entertainer that ever lived ,besides the most gorgeous beautiful sexy man I have ever seen. I loved him then and I love him still today.🥰🥰😘👅💋💋👀❤️❤️❤️❤️
I agree. Fullness. Depth. Warmth. Could hit highs and lows. Probably in such good shape he could make low tones audible where others couldn't. I know opera singers personally and they both rave about his skills.
well no shit, there can never be the same person in the future...that we know at least
maybe cloning/reviving will happen :D
Marlon Williams has a similar voice if you wana check his music out
I know I've said it somewhere before this comment, but I must again. This is the greatest live performance ever. Period. This is a 36 year old man, gone from the music scene for a long while thanks to Uncle Sam and Colonel Parker and his dream of Elvis as a movie star. I've seen most all of them, rock and roll speaking, the Stones, Queen with Freddie, Jethro Tull, on and on. This performance puts every other one to second place at maximum. They didn't call him the King for nothing you know...thank you Elvis Presley for changing the world forever, in a great way...RIP ELVIS PRESLEY
Friend, congratulations on your words. In another video of this song (original version with subtitles in Portuguese), a Brazilian fan was very happy to express the following words (facts): "... there are good singers, there are great singers, there are excellent, wonderful, spectacular singers... . and... there is Elvis Presley"!!!!
@@AgenorGracindoDeOliveira Period!! I love that quote. ❤️❤️
I agree with you that "This is the greatest live performance ever" among popular music and rock and roll singers. In fact, we have an unimpeachable authority on the quality of this performance: none other than Paul Simon, the composer and original singer of this song (along with Art Garfunkel) was blown away when he saw video of this. He considered it the best version out of hundreds of covers, and said something like, "How can you compete with that?"
I'm 48 years old and just heard this for the first time.....blew me away!!!!....Elvis is still the King and always will be
God almighty. His voice was just beyond anything that anyone else can produce. He can be delicate, warm and then blow the back wall down. A gorgeous arrangement, too. Perfect.
I agree 💙
The king forever xx
Blow the back wall down! 100% THIS
Yep
The Gezza was unreal
Blow the back of my wall down. Now that says it all my God your response made me stop and say your right..
2023 and I still come back and listen to this…amazing version!!
Mee too..
I always feel that way when ever get to listen to his songs 😭
Me too❤😊❤
@Williams Cooper since I’ve been born…My mum is a huge Elvis fan.
Hopefully youre not back for snacks
I am an Elvis fan from my 12th year. Now i am 60 years old. His voice and songs never leave my live till eternety.
Got you beat. I am 72 and was going to his movies at age ten. I loved Elvis. I was at my mom's house when we heard on the radio that he had died. We were both so sad...
There is no one beter then Elvis, and never wil be, what a voice
Who else is still listening in 2020? His music and his legend lives on!
All those who love good music from a man who knew how to communicate and transmit hope and love to a wicked world which destroyed him. RIP Elvis you are one-off, much loved and missed.
i’m here during covid-19 quarantine
@@atomichares Me too, directly from brazil.
Me, long live the King 💖
Always..
I'm 77 and listening to this. Elvis can do music like no one else. What an amazing talent, gone much too soon.
Agreed
I am 45 and I was born 3 weeks before he died...love Elvis
I dont speak english, im from Brasil, this Singer is te best, im 25 and i remember moments with my greatmoma, i miss u Very much
what about art garfunkel
@@HawkeClan69 Simon and Garfunkel were amazing, and gave this Elvis cover of the song their highest praise.
The arrangement (by Elvis) and vocalists are hauntingly beautiful.
For you youngsters that listen to music from the 80's until now.
You have just witnessed the finest entertainer to ever grace the earth.
You should have noticed by now that the voice is crystal clear and you can understand the words, and the music has tune and rhythm.
Enjoy while you still can.
Mercury is better.
its not a question over who was better than who or who did the greatest this or that.its just a fine performance in a soulfull way from someone who people dont really know his immense quality
and the stuff he recorded such as countless blues and gospel tracks
Luar Rangel lol hell m is right elvis is at his best here I was 9 years old when he passed and I still learn more about him every day
u; mean mercury the flaming QUEEN???? lmfao rotl u gotta be kidding
"You have just witnessed the finest entertainer to ever grace the earth." - Woah hold your horses, that is YOUR subjective meaning. I completely disagree with this statement.
"You should have noticed by now that the voice is crystal clear" - Actually this is NOT crystal clear, at least not in my ears. Too much vibrato if I might add. If there is something that's *crystal* clear it's the horns and the piano playing.
Today we think back to the day the World stood still : 16th August 1977, Elvis Presley had died. I was 18. I was devastated, I cried a lot, bought more of his records... He was loved in my Country. Even the older folks liked Elvis because he sang beautiful gospel songs. Thank you Elvis for the legacy you left behind. You will never be forgotten. ✝️🙏🎧🎶🇿🇦🌍😥❤️
Why do that stupid? He was only human like you? Go and think about your life STUPID!
Best rendition of Bridge over troubled water I’ve ever heard.. unbelievable
I concur!!
Nobody is even close
SHEER BRILLIANCE, AND TO KNOW THIS IS LIVE, NO AUTO TUNE, NO BACKING TRACK, PURE VOCAL ARTISTRY AT IT'S BEST, ELVIS FOREVER, STAY SAFE, AUSTRALIA, 🇦🇺🇺🇲💯❤️👍
❤😢
Praise God and stay cool to all you all down under....
50 years later and there still isn't a more brilliant version of this song out there. Still makes me cry every time.
❤❤❤❤ still shed a tear cause he's gone
Realmente. É a melhor interpretação. Emocionante e maravilhosa!
THE ALL TIME BEST.. DOESN'T MAKE ME SAD, I CAN RELATE.. ❤❤❤
American trilogy gets me everytime ❤
When I get upset about life I watch Elvis sing and remember that he was such a wonderful man and I try hard to keep a good heart because that's what I loved about him the most his beautiful heart❤I still cry because I miss him so dearly
I’m 24 yo, I’ve been listening to Elvis since I was 14! I love ELVIS and music from that decade
Elvis has a voice and looks that nobody will EVER HAVE....
God given gift. We will never see another in our lifetime. Elvis, we love you.
Merci ! Vous avez raison. Un King et un vrai !
No one has ever or will ever come close to Elvis. He beats them all 😊
Amen
That is so very true I am 54 years old and I have not seen or heard of no one doing WHAT ELVIS PRESLEY at all R.I.P HIS MOM & DAD AND THE REST OF THE PRESLEY FAMILY
47 years ago today we lost this incredible talent, a shining star! ❤
“When I first heard Elvis perform ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ it was unbelievable. I thought to myself, ‘How the hell can I compete with that?'” Paul Simon
Elvis does it better but PS version isnt bad.
@Clifford Cowie I love Elvis but I think Art sang this better
No body can compare to ELVIS.
@@Lynn-rf1kc Both versions are sensational but I love the purity in Art’s performance of this song, particularly the Central Park concert
@@Lynn-rf1kc still a cover of paul simon's song tho. And paul simon would be more than happy recieving the royalty payment from the King 😁😁
He never walked through a song, gave it his all. 100 yrs from now he'll still be KING.
But at the same time you can see he's not forcing it, he's having fun, smiling, even if he misses a tone or anything he just goes with it.. Natural talent
@Chgo: Do we agree on 10000000000000000000000000000 years? ;-)
@@mullaoslo
Before every concert elvis would go over and over again to get it done right he band said it had to be perfect not good perfect he would rehearse for weeks and hours to get it rite he pleased fans not just a show he meant it
I LOVE the wording of your comment...except I wish you would’ve said “King Of Music!” As Elvis said “There is only one King! I am just an entertainer!” 😁
This is an outstanding performance, simply the best, but to say that Elvis "never walked through a song" is a bit of a stretch. In many of his concerts in the 1970s he would quickly "walk through" some of the original big hits from the 1950s like Hound Dog, All Shook Up, etc. because fans still wanted to hear those songs but he didn't want to spend much energy or time on them.
Without autotune and without in-ear monitor. Pure brilliance pure beauty.
Ik weet wel
The king 👑
He is miming
@@mrghiax he absolutely isn’t
@@deadpoetstodd Did you not see the part when he turned to someone standing backstage and said "tapes" just before he starts miming!?
No one sang this song like Elvis. No one could sing like Elvis… PERIOD. My grandfather was Elvis’ superior whilst he was in the Army in Germany. They remained friends. I have no sisters and Lisa was an only child; so Elvis asked my parents if I’d like to live at Graceland each summer. They were the best 5 summers of my childhood. I would go to Graceland for Christmas sometimes, too. Elvis LOVED Christmas! We had our own closed world. I lived at Graceland from the ages of 7-11. I was there that awful August day in 1977 when he died. It was so sad. Then Lisa Marie’s son died via self-inflicted GSW, and then Lisa. 💔 Lisa was a grandmother when she died. Danielle Riley Keough’s daughter is named “Tupelo Storm Smith-Petersen.” Her middle name is “Storm,” as was her brother’s. Benjamin was born in Florida during a terrible storm. Before going on stage at this concert, a man called one of the Sweet Inspirations the “N word.” It was Cissy Houston, mother of Whitney Houston. Elvis had security kick the guy out! At :38 Elvis looks at Cissy Houston whilst singing the lyrics, “I’m on your side.” He smiled as he looked at her.
What a Load of Crap!!!
I am Chinese born and a fan from 1958 to now...close to 60 years. During this time many great entertainers have appeared. Beatles, Stones, BGees, Roy Orbison,Michael Jackson and others. I especially loved Abba. But truly I believe none can come close to Elvis. He was just special and even the other greats must agree as many of them have done publicly. There will not be another one like him and for sure not in my life time. He is America's greatest gift to the world.
so perfectly said!! elvis belonged not only to AMERICA but the whole WORLD!!!
Persona Email: As I stated in my initial comment, a Professor of music attributed Elvis' extraordinary vocals to where his vocal registers were placed. We know vocal register placement is determined during 9 month pregnancy. If one believes (and I do), in divinity, then God chose to give Elvis those vocals for a divine purpose and we will never know that exact, specific divine purpose.
You are absolutely right !!
MrWmy881 amen!✝️☺️
@@YoungAtHeart1941 Yes very interesting information. Thank you I believe too.
Paul Simon said: Elvis version was unbelievable! He said: how can I compete with that!😍
He can't.....
Elvis was the most incredibly handsome man with the most incredible voice.....his legacy and life is the epoch for which the 20th century was built. He was one in a 1 trillion.....we might not see another human being bring so much to the table for another 1000 years. Incredible in every way.
Personal Email he is my sunahine he can presidently be anything Rock on Dad
HE CAN & HE DID
Paul is a very humble man. and his music ALLOWS us to do these amazing covers he was VERY complimentary to disturbed version of sound of silence
YES I agree that this Elvis version is AMAZING but I prefer the original by the person who wrote it , and Paul got a fat check every time Elvis performed it .
@@sixfoursoul2538 There isn't "an original by the person who wrote it" dummy...Paul wrote it Art Garfunkel sang it. So you're basically talking out your "preferred" ass
There are very few songs Elvis covered that were not better than the original the only one i can think of is Bob Dylans tomorrow is a long time. Unfortunately Dylan's version is better in my opinion. But ANY OTHER SONG Elvis EVER covered was 1000x better than the original!!! #facts!
Cannot begin to tell you all how many times just listening to this has saved my life 🥰
@James: Ich kann das verstehen. In meinen schlechten Zeiten gab mir Elvis sehr viel Kraft. That's exactly what Elvis wanted. Elvis greatest wish was that he wanted to make people happy.
Amazing
Me too
I’m sailing right behind
Me too
Best performance ever, not only by Elvis but litterly de best performance i’ve ever heard and saw. The voice, the band, the background vocals everything is spot on. This man was truly the king.
Only Elvis could make this classic song even better ,truly the best ever.
This song's one of the most beautiful in all of history... he has the voice of an angel.
Indeed. He was born an angel.
Nobody like him. ❤️
Elvis Presley will always be the King of Rock and roll to me love him always love his style and grace he was so captivating smooth southern style no one better his greatest fan Raelene Newton cheers xxoo 💖👍
It's said when Elvis sang songs like this even the Angels in heaven are weeping I would have to agree cause here on earth our souls can be shaken like no other and who says there is no God ask the Gentleman who was an anthiest after he heard this song sung by Elvis felt something that he couldn't understand .......
@@joecelozzi305 Many cannot fathom the supernatural character of God. His Mystery. His ability to speak to us through non cyber means: a door opening at just the right moment, an unanticipated sharp cool breeze on a cloudless hot day when no one else is around. Just you with He in your thoughts. He Is Alive.
It's 2024 and Elvis still have us completely mesmerized. What a gift.
Psychologist that's it! The magic word "mesmerized" . I am mesmerized by Elvis!
Yes, that is the greatest miracle of ELVIS. How can He be so alive when seen and heard on videos, He is still able to sweep us off our feet and fall under his irresistible spell. A POWERFUL SPELL that seems to live on and on, Forever.
wowww i dont cry but this is deep
Yes he has Big gift 3000
I love Elvis still.

Sorry for the trials you're going through, and may you win! Just played Elvis's "Green Green Grass of Home" at my Mom's funeral; it was Awesome!
Many could probably write the music but only Elvis could really tell the story! Forever the King 👑
The greatest male vocalist in recorded music history.
Nah this song was written by the one and only Paul Simon!
Both are needed, don't discredit neither songwriters or performers!
@@jimcharles651 Even he admitted, he could NEVER compare
he never wrote a song
Paul Simon went to see Elvis in Las Vegas. Elvis sang, and Paul Simon said something to the effect of, " that's it! We should just all quit now!", meaning he totally admired and his version. Elvis was and is The King!
I'm always listening to Elvis music.
Amen. God Thank you for giving us Elvis. What a voice you gave to him.
Indeed❣I always think of Elvis as a most beautiful gift from God...one man that can make so very many hearts feel goodness and love ❤.

He sings so good I get cold chills.. I know he’s singing in heaven ❤
Hope he's singing when i get there ❤
yes you are right thank you fot your nise words corry from holland
Everybody get cold chills listening to Elvis sing this song

I've heard quite of few people sang this heartfelt song and they all did good. But, the voice of Elvis Presley is much more stronger and powerful. He sang it perfectly. I can listen to Elvis all day every day!!. This man is/was AWESOME.
Me too
That is a biblical voice. Its stirs your soul. I am not religious this man brings me to tears 42 years after his death. He will do it as long as he is heard. Bless.

Nothing comforts me more than hearing Elvis sing this song. It is exquisite. No other vocalist compares. He was a musical genius moved by God. Even Paul Simon was floored.
Same
Absolutely. So comforting . Knowing he knew the Lord, I wonder maybe he is singing about the Lord comforting us in times of pain.
Same here. I always reach out for his music in moments of sadness and pain.
Well said!!

My favorite moment is the "Sail on silver girl" part. I love how his voice get low "See how they shine, Oh if you need a friend". It sounds like a lullaby to me. So I dedicate this part to my daughter.

The greatest hands down
That was a real nice room too so it sounded better than most places

Love all his songs, word by word
Totally agree with you ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️
Totally agree with you ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️
Elvis was truly amazing in every way!
The 3:00 part to the end is my favorite part. Gosh it's just amazing the way he sings. My mom would play his music and we watched this on VHS. It takes me back to when she was alive . Elvis was just a gift to this world that you will never see again. You just watch him sing and get drawn in.
There had never been and never will be anyone like Elvis. The king forever
The one and only.
Preach it there is only one best of the very best and Elvis was it!
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Otis Blackwell?
I was never very keen on this song until I heard this man sing it. Just WOW ❤
He had the most beautiful voice of all time. He was just a natural and no one today can even touch his range or beauty.
Time does nothing to the music of Elvis. I will still listen when I’m 80 years old, and I’m 20 now😂
I'm 14🤣
I have been listening since I was about 6. Still here 60 years later.
One of the best commiittes ever
I'm 76...was 11 when Elvis started out....I've never stopped listening to him....I especially like his gospel but no matter what he sings I'm there
I am 20 as well, and I agree his music is timeless.
I was born Aug 1, 1977 . Elvis and I shared the earth for 15 days.
I was born in 1970, i remember that in 74 i had a LP of him and I pretended I sing together hahaha
I was born in 1990, too young to see the golden era of music, I thank youtube for these magic videos
Still Listening to Elvis's version of Bridge Over Troubled Water, can't get enough of it ‼️
There will never be another Elvis. He was everything. Beauty, voice, charisma, talent, generous heart and a stage presence and entertainer that can never be matched. He is missed.
I don’t think they’ll be another like him

That last note - chills!
Forever "Elvis" fan.💖

@@Silvana-k2y Amen to that
Bridge over troubled water is probably Paul Simons number one masterpeice, among many masterpiece songs. This version from Elvis elevates it even further up in heaven high. What a composition from Simon! What a powerful vocals from the King!

Saudades ❤❤❤❤❤😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢
I am so pleased my 16yr old son has discovered Elvis, albeit through the movie, but he 'gets it', the talent, the humour, the tenderness of EP, he's not listening to anything else at the moment. We even had to get him a taking care of business ring! Great stuff.
This is also happening to me. I am 43 and I didn't like or dislike Elvis, I just ignored him.
After seing the movie (already two times) I am an absolute fan. His live performances are out of this world. He hits your heart on every note.
He is probably the only one that performs better on stage than in the studio.
@@miquelmarti6537 It is so unreal that I was EXACTLY the same way. I did like some of Elvis' music, but did not pay much attention. The movie made me realise how much I was missing in my life without even knowing it. I spent three decades without Elvis and I am not wasting another second! Nobody in the world ever going match him and this is coming from a MJ fan!
Be shure to let him know love is to be understood and to first be given and looked for. C. O
I'm Gen X and just saw the movie with my Gen Z son. We both loved it! Be sure to sit and listen to the music during the ending credits..some amazing fusion in there: Eminem wordsmithing his way through The King and I (Jailhouse Rock beat!), and plenty of other artists..
Music truly transcends generation..
#Elvis #TCB
The movie? As in the new one? I thought it was terrible. Just my opinion, but jump cuts and barely covering his life with too many wasted shots and filller. Ugh. I watched it with my mother and she was mad we spent $7 to rent it. 😄
2020 and still the greatest voice ever to grace our planet.

2021 and I still agree.
@@captaincaveman2040 Yes 2021 and still going strong and will be for a very long time to come.
This was when singers actually sang instead of just getting by on their asses.
I was introduced to ELVIS from a very young age and when he died when I was 5, I was absolutely heartbroken. I loved this man and I will continue to do so, whether it is true or he HAD to get out BoB Joyce./ We will NEVER EVER be blessed with this voice again. EVER! There is only one ELVIS. Nobody can replace him no matter how times change.
I'm sitting here listening to this song and I've heard it a hundred times, and chills are running up and down my arms along with goose bumps. This man is the greatest singer of all time.
ive been listening to elvis singing this song for over 30 years and im still blown away. His emotion is incredible.
Makes you wonder how can you never get tired of listening to the same song over and over, I love this song and his performance!
It is a truly amazing performance of a classic song.
I love this version so much ❤
I’m only 20 years old now, my mother has brought me up with Elvis. Not a day goes by where he hasn’t been playing throughout my childhood. I am deeply moved by him. He has to be my favourite artist in the world. Nobody will ever come close. He is such a comfort to me. I would’ve loved to see him live, in another lifetime maybe. What a truly one of a kind talent and man. Rest peacefully King.
You have great taste in music. Enjoy the Elvis experience. He is the best there is. ⚡
@Rach, research Pastor Bob Joyce and let me know what you think😉
Elvis has always loved the Lord, & he wanted out of the lifestyle he was living. If you go to his church, he sings there, but please be respectful and do not ask him if he is Elvis. The Lord has made all things new for him & that's the way he wants it. God bless him.❤
@@debbieg217 I have seen these rumours before but he loved his little girl so much and would not have ever left her and allowed her to mourn for him! One thing about Elvis too is that despite how he was doing at the time he did everything for his fans, until the end and I don’t believe he would ever fake his own death to hurt so many people
@@deadpoetstodd agreed! I know people desperately want to believe he is alive but what they don't fully realise is that Elvis is still with us. Not in a physical disguise as another person but his spirit is still very much part of this world. Every time we play his music, watch his films, 'attend' his live performances we are continuing to mark his territory on this world. The biopic has brought Elvis completely into my life. Prior to that, he was on the sidelines as someone who had some good songs that I liked but now - my soul has been burst wide open! Honestly, because I have playing his music daily, watching his films and re-learning to play guitar - I feel Elvis giving me a sense of peace, contentment and motivation that I did not realise I was missing. Elvis is still with us and always will be. ❤️🎸
@@cinematicallyspeaking731 thank you so much for your comment. That was the most beautiful thing I have ever read. I am glad you’re immersing yourself in all things Elvis and realising what a true phenomenon he was and how impactful he was on so many people including myself. I am only 20 and have loved him since i was 7 because of my mothers influences. His spirit and love will be with everyone forever. You’re soo right, he’s never really ‘gone’ I’m not very religious myself but Elvis was and I’d like to believe that god wanted him back for himself. He was too special and good for this world. Thanks again for your comment ❤️⚡️ TCB x
There has never been a singer as brilliant and wonderful as Elvis before or since. Eternal king!

Quotes attributed to William Shakespeare
Still the most wonderful voice I have
heard. Such a gift.
I agree with you I love Elvis and his voice ❤❤❤
A lot of singers have great voices. Elvis' was an absolute miracle.
Another phenomenal fact about this is Elvis didn’t have any stage monitors so he couldn’t hear himself. How he stays on pitch and key is absolutely incredible
This is incredible. I've been a fan my entire life and didn't know this. If you don't know this, no worries, but I have friends who will always challenge me on this stuff: Any idea where I can find the fact that you're referring to? Only found minimal stuff on a google search.
SFMC 98 I found it just by reading interviews with his sound guys. It looks like he didn’t have monitors until 1971, so two years after the Las Vegas shows started
What r u talking about? Of course he could hear himself! What does he need a monitor for in order to hear himself? Makes no sense.
Steven Yourke In the book “Careless Love - The Unmaking of Elvis Presley” it has interviews with his sound engineers who talk about how he didn’t have any type of monitors until 1971, and when he finally had them the first time, and he heard himself when he was singing See See Rider he turned around and looked at the sound man like a kid in a candy store.
Also if he had monitors in 1969 and 1970 in Vegas, where are they at? There is tons of video footage and thousands of photos from all these shows but yet there isn’t a single video or photo with a monitor anywhere in it. Not even on the side of the stage.
@@syourke3 I think you're a little uninformed here. Generally, whenever you go to a concert, you'll see two types of speakers. You've got the ones that face the audience (the PA) and the ones that face the performers (the monitors).
The performers can't hear the ones that face away from them, or if they can, its distant and poor quality. The ones on stage allow them to hear well. Nowadays, many performers use ear pieces instead of stage monitors.
In tears writing this, we played this at my sister's funeral 4 days ago, she was Elvis mad. Rest in peace with your idol sis, in my heart forever xx
May she rest in peace 🙏
Deepest sympathies susan

Close your eyes folks and go back in a time machine to that period when Elvis sang this live and you are part of the audience. That’s how good this version is.
