This is THE BEST black man sounding "Polk Salad Annie" ruclips.net/video/n8thsU52dfw/видео.html&ab_channel=TonyJoeWhite-Topic Elvis got nothing on the original version of this song. In fact Elvis' version sucks.
REQUEST PLEASE: I’ve Lost You 1970. This is a performance is from the same shows Polk Salad Annie came from but there have only been a small number of reactions to it. It deserves to better known as it’s a brilliant song. m.ruclips.net/video/TjRvZurhZUM/видео.html
The world is a better place because Elvis was (still is) in it. His light will never die. Thank you for showing him to people that don't know him by now. He was the brightest star❤👑
I absolutely love Elvis. Always have, always will. His voice is like no other , gives you the chills. Voice comes straight from the heart. Elvis never met someone he didn't like. He loved everyone equally.I enjoy the reaction of President Pat. Cracks me up.
I guarantee you that Elvis was not racist in any way shape or form. In 1970 he went to play the Astrodome in Houston. He was approached by the managers who suggested to him that he leave his three black girls, the Sweet Inspirations, out of his show. Without a second of hesitation, Elvis said, "If my ladies don't sing, I don't sing." He didn't let it go there. After he performed, WITH the Sweet Inspirations, he loaded them into a Jeep and had someone drive them around the inside of the stadium as they waved at the crowd with Elvis's arms around their shoulders. The Polk Salad Annie performance is from a documentary movie called That's The Way It Is, filmed at Las Vegas in August of 1970. Personally, I think they cluttered up the movie with too much unnecessary crap instead of concentrating on Elvis and his performances, but the stage show was fantastic. Unfortunately, the producers were trying to sell sex instead of artistry, so some of the best and most serious performances were cut out of the movie. By the time the second documentary, Elvis on Tour, was released in 1972, Elvis was still good, but you could tell that the constant touring was starting to affect the quality of his shows. His costumes became far more glitzy and he did not seem as light-hearted and relaxed as in 1970. His face began to have the tired look that was evident in the 1973 Aloha performances. But I am rambling.
Ronnie Tutt was a fantastic drummer. The whole rhythm section and backing singers had a great rapport with him. You can see their brilliance channelled through his movements. What a voice ❤
I thought he was the king rock and roll but he didn't like the term. He pointed his finger up in the air and said there's only one king. He was a deeply religious man.
@@sharonhovanec6253 Indeed he was , but he was also known as The King though he never liked being called that he always said ''Christ is the king i'am just an entertainer'
From his gospel to Polk Salad Annie and everything in between...his voice is awesome! I saw him in Vegas in 1970. He was a real showman and loved his audience.
This beautiful man inside and out , definetly changed Vegas , the excitement ,you can feel the electricity in the air ,you can see this man feels the music thru his whole body and soul
That was FFFFAAAABBBBBUUUULLLLOOOOUUUUSSSS 😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😘😘😘😘 You are a SRAR 🌟🌟 as Elvis Presley at your Choice of his Songs Catalogues....just just FABULOUS 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
You would probably enjoy that song "Dont" by Elvis. Another one were you can hear his heart shining through. I could listen to all day and never tire of it!😉
It wasn’t a concert in the movie when he sang “If I Can Dream,” that was a TV special, the 68 comeback special. It was his first time on stage in 10 years because from 58-60 he was in the army and from 60-68 he was in Hollywood making movies. Now, this song is a concert. I love your reactions and I love how you respect your audience by not stopping it a 100X or by talking over him. Good job! Elvis is one of the most underrated music producers in music history.
Hi Mr President Patrick Smith, I am fascinated to wstch you too ❤👍👌😍🤩 your movements and such loveky phases if your words described Elvis Presley is really great and now yiu are like Us in US, UK, Far East and around the Global World never will there be another Elvis Presley RIP Elvis Presley 🎉🎉❤❤Austin Butler looks so like him that is great but to be natural like Elvis Presley's movements etc etc unable to go all the ways 😂😂but he is great too and so are you Mr. President Patrick Smith 🎉❤🙏🏻👍👌👏👏👏👏🌟🌟💞💞
I've been listening to him for almost 50 years and I still get goosebumps when I listen to him. His voice is what grabs you and doesn't let go it's almost scary that's how good he is. Thank you for your beautiful words about our idol.
Love your reaction. I saw Elvis Presley in concert on July 20, 1975 in Norfolk Scope Colosseum. I was 18 years old. It was the most amazing concert I have ever been to and I’ve been to several. From the moment he walked out the audience went out of their minds crazy and pretty much stayed that way. My favorite song that day was The Wonder of You. He hit that last note and I thought the Colosseum was going to crumble. What a performer he was!! He sold out that concert so quick he added a night concert which sold out also.
Polk Salad Annie was a favorite for Elvis to perform live. He never cut a studio records it but his live performance recording did very well on the charts. It was originally written and performed by Tony Joe White who hit #8 on the charts with it.
Between your reaction and his performance, both had me dancing in my chair! Love watching people watching Elvis. He was an amazing entertainer. He made us all feel the music....not just hear it. ❤✌️
I still can't get over how realistic the Elvis movie was. Baz knocked it out of the park with attention to detail. It was all based off of real accounts and storyline. Austin better win the Oscar for his incredible performance as Elvis.
I am loving how so many new people are coming to see and realise Elvis is one of the best performers and was an amazing singer and oozed charisma there are only a few people who have it and he had it in buckets. He performed as he felt it not like nowadays where performances are over choreographing their shows. Loved your reaction you felt it ... check out the younger Elvis where it all began in the 50's and where he created what we know today as celebrity. he had no one to guide him he id it all first and that is an amazing achievement . ruclips.net/video/WJnVQDA9rHA/видео.html

So lovely to see you again. Elvis was beyond great. I travelled from Australia to Graceland last August, a long term dream of mine to visit the home of my idol. 💕💕💕
Welcome back. Missed you and your Elvis reactions. Seeing that Elvis is the only singer in 5 Halls of fame in 5 genres of music what about covering all of them, namely, Rock and Roll, Rockabilly, Rhythm and Blues , Gospel and Country. Unless there are genres you won't want to do. After all tastes do differ.
I wish you were President! Thanks for your great words about EP. The movie was good but I was so surprised they did not show his humanitarian side of his gospel side. Would you please react to "Elvis Presley King Of Kindness". Also Elvis Presley 200 Cadillacs.? You are the best. Thanks and Be blessed
So good to see you back. I have watched your reactions on Elvis over and over. He was absolutely fantastic. Handsome, charisma best singer of all times in my opinion. You would love I'll never fall in love again, Three corn patches, Fairy Tale and I'm so lonesome I could cry from the 1973 Hawaiian concert.
Love your reaction... and your dance. You really have fun watching him just like us. Elvis is one of the GOAT. Great video, Thank u. Greetings from Brazil 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Welcome back, Yes more Elvis please try some of his gospel he’ll take you to church so emotional & beautiful also his early years one is the unedited of the Milton Berle Show it shows his early dance moves & also his great charisma & comedy side next to Milton Berle a great Comedian in his day! Also more of the 68 Comeback Special & more Aloha Hawaii 1973 Special. Love all Elvis he could sing all genre of music with such emotion! There will never be another Elvis Such a kind, generous & humble man! We miss him terribly!
Thank you so much for doing this video and being back to Elvis. I remember your videos on Elvis and your That echo will never die reaction. Your tin man costume was perfection! 👏 Truly! It was the best 😂 To see more of Elvis, would you consider reacting to a video called The king of kindness? 😊
Elvis was born on January 8, 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi, in a 2 room shack of a house his dad built with money he borrowed from his boss. That's how dirt poor they were. He was one half of identical twins; the other boy - Jesse Garon - was stillborn. They were so poor, that Jesse Garon was buried in a shoebox in an unmarked grave. At Graceland they have a plaque with his name on it in his memory. Elvis always got along with the black community and learned a lot about music from his friends of color. Also, according to the one drop rule, Elvis would not be considered white, since he has Cherokee ancestors on both the Smith (his mother) and the Presley (his father) sides of the family. His paternal grandfather, Jesse Dunning Presley, was not happy that his two sons, Elvis' father Vernon and his brother Vester, married two sisters, Gladys and Clettes who were known to have Cherokee blood in their family tree. J.D. Presley was quite the racist a-hole, often drunk and a philandering husband to Minnie Mae (they were actually separated long before they finally divorced in 1954) who was always competing with his sons Vester and Vernon and who was known to abuse his kids when drunk. J.D. was was publicly against race mixing and was in denial about the Cherokee blood in his own family tree. It was more publicly known that the Smith family had Native blood in their family tree, so when both his sons fell for 2 Smith sisters and Vernon, on top of that, was still a minor at 17 when he eloped with Gladys who was 4 years older than him, Jesse was totally pissed off. As a child, Elvis already had many friends in the black community at the time his family was one of 4 "white" families that lived in the predominantly black neighborhood The Hill, just across from Shake Rag. His childhood friend Sam Bell said that some of the (black) kids in that neighborhood had lighter skin than Elvis (ruclips.net/video/LrFCyNMvZWk/видео.html). One of Elvis' bodyguards once said that he thought it was a miracle Elvis got into Humes High School in Memphis, because it was "lily white". Elvis wanted to be more open about his Native ancestry, but his manager "colonel" Tom Parker (real name Andreas van Kuijk) was against it because he was afraid it might cost Elvis fans (and himself money). They did have Elvis play characters in his movies though where he had Native American blood (Flaming Star, G.I. Blues, Stay Away Joe). Once Elvis had his own (apprentice) job learning to be an electrician, he saved up his money and bought his clothes in the same style that many of his friends of color wore. He was called a (forgive me, just stating facts here) "n-lover" and got beaten up several times too. Later, when he was an established star, he would not perform at places where the members of color of his back-up band/orchestra weren't allowed.
I have to tell the world that not tomaney no that in the early 70s The two Kings,Elvis and Mickal Jackson .Back then ayoung Mickal from The awesam Ja kson 5.The two meet and They would Sing and dance in Sun Studio. And Mickales studio when they could And helped echother be the best in the world.And they bowth told Each other My brother you are beter than I.Can you just amagen.what amazing paformance that would be to see.two awesam kings.❤❤
Pat, you have reacted to many of my favorite Elvis songs but I have one I haven’t seen requested. From the movie King Creole there are three songs which you will like because again shows a different side of Elvis. The first is the intro clip Crawfish , second Trouble, 3rd King Creole. This was Elvis 4th movie and he was given an extension from the Army so he could finish the movie before reporting to boot camp for basic training.
Love your channel. If possible can we play his song “What Now My Love” it showcases his tremendous voice and leaves most literally speechless. Keep up the great work.
“Colonel” Parker was an evil man. Elvis was worked to death. Plain and simple. His drug use started in the freezing cold weather of Germany. Doing guard duty. Overnight. If you fell asleep you’d be dead. He came home to a manager with a DEMONIC gambling problem. And since PARKER couldn’t leave the US, he wouldn’t allow Elvis to either. Fans from every corner of the world. I dare-say that Asians did and still love and revere him next to the USA. Thanks for this reaction ❤️
The greatest life performance shows I have seen were from Elvis and Tina Turner. I don't know if anybody else comes close. There were many great performers but very few that were the whole package.
Glad to see you again!! Yes, the Elvis movie was awesome !! Accurate in the main parts, but the sequence of some events were incorrect. You should check out Elvis and the black community, the echo will never die. That tells you a lot about the kind of man he was.
No one like him before, and there will never be another like him - he was one of those "one time only" artists. James Brown would be another one in that category, along with Michael Jackson and Janis Joplin.
Hi President Pat, love your critiques and like the way you wait until the end to discuss, hate the way other critiquers stop a song every 2 seconds to discuss some point. If you want to see what Elvis is all about, how about in his own words, the movie was in the Colonels words and as we know, the Colonel took Elvis for everything and presented him with a bill for 8million or thereabouts dating back to 1956 after Elvis fired him, hence having to keep him on. The Colonel was an illegal, hence why Elvis couldn't travel. The movie presents Elvis as a brooder but he was far from that and gave away millions to charities and complete strangers on the street. The files in this video, whether you believe this to be Elvis or not, are legit, I have seen the redacted version of these files with my own eyes, but this movie presents another side of Elvis brought up by Gayle Brewer Gorgiou in her books but doesn't tell the whole story of which I have discovered a lot in my research. The CD created at the end of this movie is Gold, what a great CD!! ruclips.net/video/KsNgHpYOaUg/видео.html&feature=share
Elvis did a great cover of the song, but in my honest opinion, the songwriter, Tony Joe White, was unbeatable. Having said that, I grew up listening to Elvis and my mother was a huge fan. He was the complete showman on stage, but in his life, he was humble and sometimes self-deprecating. I love the song, I am a southern woman, so I know about some Poke salad. It really wonderful when it's prepared correctly and cooked with eggs. As for the movie, I thought it was a good movie. It brought a lot of Tom Parker's dirty little secrets out in the open, albeit not until after his death. I personally thought Autin Butler did a great job and a lot of the vocals were his own. I also always thought Kurt Russell did a great portrayal of Elvis. Wow, this really brought back some memories. Thanks so much.
Have you done his gospel songs yet? Lisa Marie did a few songs with her dad that are truly lovely - Where no one stands alone, Don’t cry Daddy, In the ghetto.
Elvis reaction suggestions?
This is THE BEST black man sounding "Polk Salad Annie" ruclips.net/video/n8thsU52dfw/видео.html&ab_channel=TonyJoeWhite-Topic Elvis got nothing on the original version of this song. In fact Elvis' version sucks.

Hi Patrick, check out - First in line, I was the one, Paralysed, Playing for keeps, When it rains it really pours. 👌
The world is a better place because Elvis was (still is) in it. His light will never die.
Thank you for showing him to people that don't know him by now. He was the brightest star❤👑
Who else can wear the jump suits he wears & look so manly. He is a great showman. Doesn't need any other dancers he can carry the show by his self
Why is it that when Elvis starts to sing, I catch my breath, and hold it til the song is finished?
The King The best The only
I absolutely love Elvis. Always have, always will. His voice is like no other , gives you the chills. Voice comes straight from the heart. Elvis never met someone he didn't like. He loved everyone equally.I enjoy the reaction of President Pat. Cracks me up.
Hello Elvis Bob Joyce Presley♥️♥️♥️
Elvis is FIRE 🔥🔥❤🕺
Austin Butler did an amazing job doing Elvis... He put himself into Elvis for 2 yrs... amazing.
Produced all his music, arrangements, musicians etc and rarely recognised for it. 🥃

His drummer never, ever knew what he might do.
Ronnie Tutt was a fantastic drummer. The whole rhythm section and backing singers had a great rapport with him. You can see their brilliance channelled through his movements. What a voice ❤
Elvis was great singing any song!!! Love all of his music 🎶 and movies ❤❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🔥🔥🔥
I love how he directed the whole band with his body.
Elvis was a true showman. He owned any stage he was on. Also had a great sense of humor
Please do just pretend.
Thats why he's called THE KING
I thought he was the king rock and roll but he didn't like the term. He pointed his finger up in the air and said there's only one king. He was a deeply religious man.

Glad to see you back. Love your reactions to Elvis.
Patch it Up
Elvis was born on January 8, 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi, in a 2 room shack of a house his dad built with money he borrowed from his boss. That's how dirt poor they were. He was one half of identical twins; the other boy - Jesse Garon - was stillborn. They were so poor, that Jesse Garon was buried in a shoebox in an unmarked grave. At Graceland they have a plaque with his name on it in his memory.
Elvis always got along with the black community and learned a lot about music from his friends of color. Also, according to the one drop rule, Elvis would not be considered white, since he has Cherokee ancestors on both the Smith (his mother) and the Presley (his father) sides of the family. His paternal grandfather, Jesse Dunning Presley, was not happy that his two sons, Elvis' father Vernon and his brother Vester, married two sisters, Gladys and Clettes who were known to have Cherokee blood in their family tree. J.D. Presley was quite the racist a-hole, often drunk and a philandering husband to Minnie Mae (they were actually separated long before they finally divorced in 1954) who was always competing with his sons Vester and Vernon and who was known to abuse his kids when drunk. J.D. was was publicly against race mixing and was in denial about the Cherokee blood in his own family tree. It was more publicly known that the Smith family had Native blood in their family tree, so when both his sons fell for 2 Smith sisters and Vernon, on top of that, was still a minor at 17 when he eloped with Gladys who was 4 years older than him, Jesse was totally pissed off.
As a child, Elvis already had many friends in the black community at the time his family was one of 4 "white" families that lived in the predominantly black neighborhood The Hill, just across from Shake Rag. His childhood friend Sam Bell said that some of the (black) kids in that neighborhood had lighter skin than Elvis (ruclips.net/video/LrFCyNMvZWk/видео.html). One of Elvis' bodyguards once said that he thought it was a miracle Elvis got into Humes High School in Memphis, because it was "lily white". Elvis wanted to be more open about his Native ancestry, but his manager "colonel" Tom Parker (real name Andreas van Kuijk) was against it because he was afraid it might cost Elvis fans (and himself money). They did have Elvis play characters in his movies though where he had Native American blood (Flaming Star, G.I. Blues, Stay Away Joe). Once Elvis had his own (apprentice) job learning to be an electrician, he saved up his money and bought his clothes in the same style that many of his friends of color wore. He was called a (forgive me, just stating facts here) "n-lover" and got beaten up several times too. Later, when he was an established star, he would not perform at places where the members of color of his back-up band/orchestra weren't allowed.
Have to say.. who was the best entertainer ever... Elvis or Michael.... damn...
I have to tell the world that not tomaney no that in the early 70s The two Kings,Elvis and Mickal Jackson .Back then ayoung Mickal from The awesam Ja kson 5.The two meet and They would Sing and dance in Sun Studio. And Mickales studio when they could And helped echother be the best in the world.And they bowth told Each other My brother you are beter than I.Can you just amagen.what amazing paformance that would be to see.two awesam kings.❤❤
Yeah! I’m so glad you’re back! There is much more Elvis to go…let’s go😍😎
Pat, you have reacted to many of my favorite Elvis songs but I have one I haven’t seen requested. From the movie King Creole there are three songs which you will like because again shows a different side of Elvis. The first is the intro clip Crawfish , second Trouble, 3rd King Creole. This was Elvis 4th movie and he was given an extension from the Army so he could finish the movie before reporting to boot camp for basic training.

Awesome reaction! Love what you said and how you said it. More Elvis please!!❤
Love Elvis! You should listen to Such a night. Great song
Love your channel. If possible can we play his song “What Now My Love” it showcases his tremendous voice and leaves most literally speechless. Keep up the great work.
Love this!! Love that your back doing videos!
Greetings from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪, you have been missed,
I'm absolutely delighted your back, always enjoy your reactions
The name of the actor who played Elvis is Austin Butler. Pls give him the respect Austin deserves & u shld have done ur research on his last name.
Welcome back Sir
Fantastic reaction brother ❤🕺
Thank you so much 😀
“Colonel” Parker was an evil man. Elvis was worked to death. Plain and simple. His drug use started in the freezing cold weather of Germany. Doing guard duty. Overnight. If you fell asleep you’d be dead. He came home to a manager with a DEMONIC gambling problem. And since PARKER couldn’t leave the US, he wouldn’t allow Elvis to either. Fans from every corner of the world. I dare-say that Asians did and still love and revere him next to the USA.
Thanks for this reaction ❤️
The greatest life performance shows I have seen were from Elvis and Tina Turner. I don't know if anybody else comes close. There were many great performers but very few that were the whole package.
WELL, DONE
Glad to see you again!! Yes, the Elvis movie was awesome !! Accurate in the main parts, but the sequence of some events were incorrect. You should check out Elvis and the black community, the echo will never die. That tells you a lot about the kind of man he was.
He already did it ☺️
Would love you to react to " Just Pretend " live performance. It's about the same as this video. You'll love it 😊
No one like him before, and there will never be another like him - he was one of those "one time only" artists. James Brown would be another one in that category, along with Michael Jackson and Janis Joplin.
You need to listen to Elvis and Lisa singing together … technology put them together … song is Daddy Don’t Cry .. this is a sure tear jerker
Hi President Pat, love your critiques and like the way you wait until the end to discuss, hate the way other critiquers stop a song every 2 seconds to discuss some point. If you want to see what Elvis is all about, how about in his own words, the movie was in the Colonels words and as we know, the Colonel took Elvis for everything and presented him with a bill for 8million or thereabouts dating back to 1956 after Elvis fired him, hence having to keep him on. The Colonel was an illegal, hence why Elvis couldn't travel. The movie presents Elvis as a brooder but he was far from that and gave away millions to charities and complete strangers on the street. The files in this video, whether you believe this to be Elvis or not, are legit, I have seen the redacted version of these files with my own eyes, but this movie presents another side of Elvis brought up by Gayle Brewer Gorgiou in her books but doesn't tell the whole story of which I have discovered a lot in my research. The CD created at the end of this movie is Gold, what a great CD!!

Elvis did a great cover of the song, but in my honest opinion, the songwriter, Tony Joe White, was unbeatable. Having said that, I grew up listening to Elvis and my mother was a huge fan. He was the complete showman on stage, but in his life, he was humble and sometimes self-deprecating. I love the song, I am a southern woman, so I know about some Poke salad. It really wonderful when it's prepared correctly and cooked with eggs. As for the movie, I thought it was a good movie. It brought a lot of Tom Parker's dirty little secrets out in the open, albeit not until after his death. I personally thought Autin Butler did a great job and a lot of the vocals were his own. I also always thought Kurt Russell did a great portrayal of Elvis. Wow, this really brought back some memories. Thanks so much.
Have you done his gospel songs yet? Lisa Marie did a few songs with her dad that are truly lovely - Where no one stands alone, Don’t cry Daddy, In the ghetto.
