“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 Presley said if his gospel music brought one person to accept Jesus Christ as Saviour then his efforts were worth it. Elvis Presley didn't like to be referred to as " king" and often told his fans from the stage not to refer to him as such and that only Jesus Christ is King.
Elvis by far the greatest entertainer/singer/performer. But what’s even more important is how incredible of a person he was. Elvis gave at least half of his money to others and charities. If you take the time to watch and listen to the many videos out there with his family and friends. It’s truly astounding how he helped people and donated to charities. If he had it, he shared it. Such an incredible human being. One dear friend of his described Elvis as second to Jesus, that there was not a better man that walked the earth other than Jesus. Pretty incredible description. Tears still flow down my face with certain songs of his when he performs them. I’m still in awe of Elvis. Truly timeless. I’m so glad the younger generation is giving a listen to Elvis. May he carry on forever.
Luciano Pavarotti once said that if Elvis it had any classical vocal training that he might well have been one of the greatest opera singers of the century. You can certainly hear that in this song. He was just beyond talented. It still blows my mind today.
Paul Simon who wrote and sung the original version heard Elvis's take on made and interesting comment, he said he thought it was a little dramatic but how in the hell can I compete with that?-----he knew his song was taken to another level by Elvis

Man you said it! When He left, the world became more lonely and gray.
You know, when I witness Elvis in videos like this, I genuinely believe that we are witnessing something not of this planet. The greatest
Elvis was too great to comprehend. Like the universe is too vast to imagine. God did something here

Elvis NEVER sang a song for us...he took us on a journey...his journey.His voice was beyond captivating...
Nashville had Country Music, Memphis had Blues and Soul.
And on the 8th day God created Elvis
i'm 26 and love elvis music
Nobody has a voice as distinctive as Elvis. His depth and vocal tone are like no other. Elvis could sing just about anything, and sound amazing.
The most genuine performer of all time.
There is not a single singer in the same category as Elvis and there never will be, he’s truly the King and he’s timeless!
I'm 75 and still listen to Elvis, thanks for your comments
Elvis had some soul. He goes with the Gospel Choir that is backing him up like a duck goes with water.

I'm 49 and 5 when he died.. Grew up with Elvis with my mom.. Such an impact on my life!
I'm not the biggest Elvis fan in the world, but that performance was one for the ages. Wow.
