I don't think I have ever laid eyes on more handsome, sexy, mysterious, charismatic human being in my whole life.
Amen🙏❤️
You can't be more real in this statement, Ty❤❤❤❤
A little background for you on Elvis. Elvis Presley IS the King of Rock and Roll. Elvis was not racist and did not steal black music. He certainly borrowed from it, but changed the arrangements, tempo, some words to turn rhythm and blues into rock and roll. Before July 5,1954 when Elvis, Scotty and Bill recorded That's All right at Sun Studios in Memphis, Tennessee, there wasn't even a branch of music yet called rock and roll. He combined country, rhythm and blues, white gospel, black gospel to create rock and roll. John Lennon said before Elvis, there was nothing. Before Elvis recording his version of black artist's songs, making them popular, black artists music couldn't even get on main stream radio stations. Elvis changed all that. Little Richard said by Elvis performing his songs, it made them bigger and it made him bigger.
Elvis is as handsome as his off the charts singing. Never has a man
like him ever appeared after his death. I saw him 50 years ago and hearing him on
UA-cam brings back all those memories. He is without a doubt the best
entertainer I have ever seen. I saw him four times and the women went nuts,
He had incredible charisma. He loved to joke around. Great reaction.
6:20 When he stuck the microphone in his mouth like that and it made that feedback, yeah he did it because it's funny but this band always pranked each other and it served a double purpose besides just entertaining the audience. It functioned as a prank against the sound guy who's back there with headphones on hearing that sharp blip of feedback, but then again, it was also to make sure that the sound guy stayed on his toes and was paying attention every single second.
The song talks about a young woman named Annie down in the swamps in Louisiana, and the family is poor, her mom is in prison working on a chain gang, her dad has a bad back, and the brothers aren't good for anything except stealing watermelons out of his truck patch garden, which is a part of your garden that you load onto trucks and take to market to sell.
So basically everything fell on her shoulders, and she was mean and vicious and carried a straight razor. In fact, she was so mean that she even made the alligators look tame.
She would go down by the swamp and pick these greens, carry them home in a pole sack, and then make them for dinner and they called it Polk Salad. But you actually had to know what you were doing, because they are only edible for a certain part of their growth cycle, and at other parts of that cycle that can actually be toxic.
I always enjoy your comments!
Thank you so much!🌞💥
Thanks David for explaining to us what Polk salad is. never heard of it before. That was very nice of you. Have a great day. See ya at the Polk picking place. Pass auf das ich alles richtig mache.
Those are the best pranks/ribs, the ones that make the target laugh, the audience laugh, and it doesn't negatively impact the performance.
Elvis Presley was the greatest “Entertainer” that has ever lived.
Elvis' body is like an orchestra conductor, his body absorbs music and then it goes out. His band can watch his body to know what to do next.
He actually had several songwriters. And of course he did covers. But he's a lot more than just a performer. He's a multi-instrumentalist as a musician, and of course he's an incredible singer, but he also does all his own Arrangements, including with that very large TCB band and the backing vocalists and all that. I think that's one thing that makes these things so good is that he was a genius at that stuff. He knew what he wanted for sure. And back then, that was pretty much the norm for this kind of music, most people did songs that other people wrote either for them or as covers.
Yes!!! 🎉 Nowadays he would be hailed as a fabulous producer. Back then he just got sht for not writing everything. Also, he did hundreds and hundreds of live shows. There was adlibbing and things done just to be funny. We love it all. So happy to see young people finding ☆ELVIS☆
Elvis the OG
A real entertainer, down to earth, with a Beautiful Voice.
Polk Salad as he said Is a green like Turnip or Mustard Greens. Go for some soul food and you'll get it.
My mother was born in 44. She moved from Kentucky to Cleveland to watch her nieces while their parents worked. For some fun she took her little sister (my mom) to see elvis about 1958/1959. He wasn't kissing women back then - but he picked mom out of the audience and had her come up on stage and he kissed her. Mom passed in 96 - but for the longest time elvis was our livingroom photo. She kissed him again 1976 - what a way to say hello & goodbye.
I had hearing issues growing up (still do - a lot of infections). Mom would put on elvis to see if my hearing was returning. What she didn't know is i felt the music and would know where he was in the song. I'd be lying there in pain but wording elvis songs.
When my daughter was born she about turn her head exorcist style to find his voice if she heard him. She's almost 30 now and she's had love me tender lyrics tattooed on her arm for over 10 years.
Elvis continues in our family ❤🎶🎙
A Musical Genius! He once said that you can buy my records to hear what I sound like but when you come to see me live, I'm going to put on a SHOW for you!!!!! He knew exactly what they wanted. He had the Greatest Entrance to a concert and the Greatest Exit!!!!! You need to see what that is ALL about!!!
The one thing about He was the voice he had the it factor in so much more Elvis live when the music started and you knew he was coming you could feel his presence before he got on stage and when it's over you still sit there hoping he'll come back out
I saw this particular show in August 1970 and saw him again in Feb. 1971 !!! He never slowed down 👍👍👍
If you listen closely, you can hear The Sweet Inspirations come in at the end.
Polk salad is similar to turnip greens. Annie is the girl picking Polk salad in the song. Elvis was a great singer and entertainer. I was fortunate enough to see him in concert twice when I was a kid. It was an experience I’ll never forget. Never seen so many women cry and try and sneak in stage. Elvis had it all, talent, looks and personality. There will never be another like him. TCB⚡️ ⚡️
I love your passion for ELVIS! This Performance was amazing! ELVIS had music in his whole body! Thank you!
Every man wanted to be him and every woman wanted him
Love your enthusiasm for Elvis! My mother saw Elvis in concert 1970, and his energy, the incredible vocal range of his voice, his stage presence - the audience was mesmerized, especially the women. My mother was on such a "natural high" after seeing Elvis...that lasted about 2 days...and she said Elvis was THE BEST, period. You can't imagine the level of excitement, holding that concert ticket, finding your seat ... Then seeing and hearing Elvis. I'm thrilled you truly appreciate his phenomenal talent!
There's a reason he's called The King.
Elvis was the man❤ you ought to see Jailhouse Rock when he was younger
Sweet inspirations are the girls doing back up they are phenomenal 👏
his backups are absolutely in this in the background hyping him up
you hear him towards the end tell them "go ahead girls" and they launch into their "chicken bones..chica chica bones bones" in the background while he goes all out in the end lol
Cissy Houston isn't in this
she was with him during his 69 engagement in vegas but didn't return after that because she didn't like being away from her kids a month at a time.
unfortunately we don't have any quality/watchable video from his 69 shows but there are audios of it if you want to listen :)
This performance is from his 1970 engagement.
thanks for showing e so much love im having a blast watching you discover him ♡
Really fun watching you vibe with Elvis.😅
You just asked what that instrument is that you liked, and that is a guitar played through a wah-wah effects pedal (wah pedal for short); when you enable it, you work a pedal with your foot while you're playing the guitar and it makes the sound modulate like that. It was common in rock music at that time and Jimi Hendrix infamously used it frequently and it was kind of his signature sound. It's also a stereotype that it got used frequently in 70s porn music, laugh.
Also notice that the backing vocalists have now started doing that boom chicka wow wow thing. But they're doing it really really fast and it's truly almost a tongue twister. But it's really cool. They get louder as it goes.
Also, he's dancing but he's also essentially directing the band with his body movements and pushing them to go harder and faster.
Whitney’s mom was one of his backup singers called The Sweet Inspirations💜. Her mom talks about it in interviews and she was in a few documentaries.
Aside from his great voice, his fantastic performances, his sense of humor, his generosity, the way he produced his music and led his band and singers, Elvis never took himself seriously. He disliked being called "The King" ( there was only one King to him ;
the Lord)
Elvis did take his performances seriously by giving his audience the best show he could give, each and every time. Also by making sure his female backup singers, The Sweet Inspirations, were always treated good wherever they performed, or he would not do the gig.
You should watch Elvis and the Black Community video and watch the movie that just came out about his life. Th ese will give you a whole new level of understanding and respect for him.
Yes, Whitney Houston's mother was one of his backup singers.
Listen to the beginning of the song again, he tells you what polk salad is. It's a green that grows wild that people go out and pick. It's like a turnip green, it free to pick....poor peoples food to fill the belly when there's nothing else to eat.
Love your enthusiasm, am enjoying following you on your journey of discovery of the music I grew up on.. Enjoy the ride!
Great reaction. Lots of fun. Elvis is the greatest
Elvis just having fun on stage. 😊 He said he did whatever he felt like doing. Yes, those sideburns are real cool! Enjoyed your reaction. More Elvis please. 🤗🥇🎶🎤🔥🎸
Fantastic!!!
The "Sweet Inspirations" are indeed in the background singing ...a great group of ladies for certain, especially Myrna, who cherished her time with Elvis.
Why i like Elvis is, Your never stuck with the same thing all the time. Most artist, Once you see one performence the next one is much the same. But not with Elvis. He's always different.
The King The best The only
Elvis is called the King, for good reasons. Breathtaking performance.
I’m a huge Elvis fan and Yes Whitney’s Mom was with the back up singers called The Sweet Inspirations he was a very generous guy and 23+ yrs of being famous he bought over 200 Cadillacs which most he bought for other people.. Elvis was a class act no doubt and his entourage was called The Memphis Mafia…
The BEST ❤️ THE KING 👑💋
I love that yoi love Elvis!!!!!😊
My mom was born the same year as Elvis and she was a huge fan from the beginning and in 1967 my parents moved the family to Las Vegas for my dad's new job a few years later my mom wound up working at the international hotel where Elvis performed and when she was caught up or done for the night she would stand in the back of the showroom and watch him perform it was her dream come true. Love your reactions and would request
Kentucky Rain, studio version is best
It's always been my favorite thx...♡
My mom was born in 1935 as well and oh boy did she love Elvis and me and my sister too. I’m 60 and she’s 69🤣
@DrACCook was your mom as cool as mine ? She loved all kinds of music, and between her and my dad, I was exposed to a lot of great music.
Cheers to our mom's
When Elvis sang “ Bridge over troubled waters” by Simon and Garfunkel, Paul Simon said “ how the heck can we follow that?!” 👌💕🕺
I’m so proud of ELVIS, and I know that sounds strange but I think he represents the best of people
I'd love for you to react to Elvis...A Generous Heart the short version and Elvis..King of Kindness. Its important to see how & why he is so loved beyond his music....
great reaction! still waiting for your reaction to Elvis- Suspicious Minds live in vegas 1970
his sweet inspirations were always with him.
Love this guys personality and how much
he enjoyed Elvis...he had me laughing. Also loved watching Elvis
He never turned down an autograph for a fan, he gave scarves out every performance. His girls are always on his left and feed off of them. His daughter, Lisa MARIE, LOOKS LIKE HIM AND HAS HIS ATTITUDE.
he wrote 3 songs together with a few band members
He enjoyed improvisation, and clowning around during live shows.
ONE of his best performance, more then 50 years ago! Thank you for sharing!
I bet the note was a phone number haha👋👋 🇳🇱
All Elvis's kempo karate moves used in his stage shows.
Elvis didn't write his own songs but he still was a good performer and was so talented...love this song and him live...
Polk salad is just greens that grow in the wild.
All these years later, he still is incomparable! You could also check out his daughter Lisa Marie Presley singing Sticks and Stones live.
I just love how this gentleman makes me laugh as for the laughter helps witn the depression I've collected about 10 videos of Elvis and still ordering more my husband went to the Golden gates 2 yrs ago in October and Elvis was my all time favorite entainner of all times
sweet inspirations were always with him - if you notice h is constantly looking at them.
Yes, Cissy Houston was with the Sweet Inspirations, his back up singers. Elvis was very close to them. They loved him too.
Loving your Elvis reactions!!! You need to check out Aloha From Hawaii special "American Trilogy "... One of his best, if not best live performances, In my opinion
Great reaction, man. There is so much incredible footage of Elvis starting back when he was 20 years old in 1955 all the way up to six weeks before his death in late 1977. So many to choose from and I see people reacting to pretty much all of them!
If you want to see and hear him sing his ass off, check out Bridge Over Troubled Water from this exact same 1970 Vegas show. It's so powerful and the backing vocalists really get to shine also.
Yes 🎉
POLK SALAD IS A GREEN THAT GROWS WILD IN THE SOUTH AND YOU COOK IT
Jane H commenting …. I could see you waiting keenly for that Thank you. Thank you very much. He was a polite & very likeable man, but he did have a bit of a temper too …. Well, most of us do. I am really enjoying you Elvis Reactions.
This performance is so entertaining. Check out Bossa Nova Baby and Return to Sender. He was one of a kind.
Those sideburns are called muttonchops! He was a true "entertainer", that's why you feel so engaged and entertained! The "chocolate girls" were over to the far right, they were barely highlighted but you could see them! Great reaction!
How do i describe ELVIS
Well in 3 words ‘HE HAD EVERYTHING ‘ and the entertainment value was off the Richter Scale
If asked what is my favourite song my reply would be ALL of them, over 700 songs
However this song for me ‘is up there’ and it’s on my playlist
It’s so sad that Elvis never got to come to England
We know why
Can you imagine if ELVIS was on stage with Tom Jones
Tom would have shown Elvis a good time around London
‘girls, girls, girls’
❤️❤️❤️❤️🏴🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️😢😢😭😭
It was common back then to have song writers working for you. For example, Frank Sinatra wrote 3 or 4 songs at the start of his career, but once he became well-known, he took on people who wrote songs for a living. Dean Martin Never wrote a song, but he was a big name. So people who disparagingly say Elvis never wrote his own songs, clearly don’t know that neither did most big name singers at that time, & Elvis was the biggest of them all. A great many singers were very happy if Elvis did a cover of a song of theirs, because Elvis’ records were huge sellers & those singers got royalties off every record sold. Elvis began his career at the age of 18 & within a short space of time was virtually a mega-star. At his very first official appearance on stage, as an 18 year old, he had girls screaming crazily at him, because he was like no other singer they had ever seen before ….. he actually moved his legs as he sang, rather than stand still as all other white singers did back then. Elvis was born in 1935, into a very poor family, & he grew up in a black community, so as a child he was influenced by gospel music, which remained his passion until he died at the age of 42 in 1977. So although he was white, his childhood roots were black & he had a strong affinity with the black community. Elvis was a trend-setter & considered highly dangerous by the authorities who strictly enforced segregation. He didn’t read music, but taught himself guitar & piano, & he could play drums tolerably well. And he was deeply spiritual.
This one is always fun to watch!
This time you nearly stole him the show!🤗
Thank you so much!💚🌞
@Shon, at min 3:26 a lot of people don't get Elvis's sound effect with the mic.
So hear goes, he is talking about the mother of girl, a mean woman, sharp as a razor, so he makes the sound with the mic (called onomatopeic sound), then with his hand he does the cut troath sign to show the razor sharp mean charcter of Annie's mom.
None of the folks making reaction videos to the sogn understrood the lyrics or WHY he made that sound effect, I was really taken aback how NONE of the folks got it, people either thought if was funny, or they were somehow shocked.
No, the "chocolate sisters" are there for sure! They're the ones doing that boom chicka wow wow thing I was talking about in my other comment.
They are right there at the right side of the camera frame and you get several looks at them near the end; they are wearing orange shirts which they often did. Although they did dress differently for different shows. They also did their hair differently at different times. Sometimes they had fro's, sometimes straight hair, and some pretty cool styles along the way. Somewhere on UA-cam I have seen some behind-the-scenes footage at a rehearsal, and there are a lot of those, but there's one where he's basically hanging out talking with them and shooting the shit. It's really interesting not only to see what they are wearing but what their personalities are like, and how they all interacted together. They were pretty tight. And of course I think they are super hot! 😀
And yes, Whitney Houston's mother was a part of that group for while but not for this show.
her name was Cissy Houston
POLK salad...Louisiana girl here. Used to ride my horse in the Polk Salad festival in Blanchard Louisiana every year back in the late 70's. It's just like Elvis sings, it grows wild in Louisiana and a good cook would turn it into a mess of greens that's delicious. It was considered very very poor folk food. And of course Elvis would know about it as he grew up so poor.
Elvis was truly without a shadow of doubt on his own level. MJ got a lot of his moves from Elvis including that 'jamone' slang. Elvis would include it as part of his funked up rendition of Hound Dog in 1974 in which The Jackson 5 were in attendance and he introduced them to the audience.
a guy named Tony Joe White wrote and first recorded this song, so you can credit him for the story, but it's the way Elvis told the story and sang on this and other songs that made him so great, he made them his own.
Elvis would have had a TON more hit songs BUT his manager (Col. Parker) only allowed Elvis to sing songs that he (Parker) got monetary cuts from. Same for the jumpsuits, Parker cut a deal that he got money every time Elvis wore those jumpsuits! Parker held back Elvis and his talent until the day Elvis died!
He my not have been a songwriter per se. But made every song his own 😉❤ The King 👑
The song was about a poor girl from the other side of the tracks who routinely picked a weed called “poke” and prepared it for supper. Luckily for Annie, she knew what to do with the poke, because the actual plant can be fatal if not cooked properly or if picked at the wrong time
Great performance!
Whitney Houston's Mom was with him in 1969. Then she left to spend more time with her children. The Sweet Inspirations were singing the background on this song, chick-a-boom boom.
His backup singers was there u just did not pay attention. They did not sing much of this song but there are parts where u can hear them. Yes and Whitney met Elvis but could not even move or speak. She was paralyzed with her own words and was just staring about him and his "aura". He has also instant crush for Elvis. I mean crush like around 10 year girl can be. Try to any songs from 68 comeback special where he is even more interacting with small audience. It was most popular thing in television when they show it. Second in that year was when man walk for the moon first time. So it was pretty popular show =)
In the 50s and 60s many artists used songwriters . Now yes some artists wrote there own songs such as Buddy Holly . The problem with that is once you sign for a record compony then they own you and your music . Ask Prince ext .
Elvis sang covers ect but had his own production compony where songwriters got credit and were paid from gladis music Inc so they didn't get stuffed by the Record Componies
LOL... Great performance and great reaction, Shon :))) Loved it! Thanks.
Love your review!!! He was always fun...funny and goofy. That's a given with Elvis. I like your comment that his kisses were a way of "engaging" with the audience :) and it was also a way of "giving back" to his audience(females) who loved him soooooo much. It's cool how you analyze a lot of things on a deeper level!... I love how he cues the band at 7:30...then says "you're right, you're right". E was essentially never wrong with the music...but *there* it seems like he was saying-- "you're right, I was wrong"
that was a fan note
Yes Whitney's mom was one of his regular back up singers. he also had the Jordanaires singing back up on some songs.
Hello from Missouri..Polk salad is a wild green..tastes just like spinach..grows wild along creeks in late April..pretty tasty..thanks
He's in Vegas. What do you expect. Anything goes there. 😅
E was also very spiritual!! Read everything he could!!! Never a hater!! Helped people of all colors!!!❤ be good to one another!!!
KING
Elvis also suffered from stage fright. He said that he was so nervous before each and every performance because he wanted the audience to get their money’s worth, because they had made the effort to come and see him. He also said he never minded when fans tried to grab him and tear his clothes because “ they put them there!” 👌💕🕺
This ought to be interesting.
He killed "Bridge Over Troubled Water." Worth checking out!
There are so many exceptional performances to react to by Elvis, favourites aswell as the ones you have done include An American Trilogy from Aloha in Hawaii 1973, also I strongly recommend the Jailhouse rock sequence from the movie Jailhouse rock if you like to see Elvis move!! Also mix it up with some young Elvis there are loads of 1950s clips Ready Teddy 1956 is an exceptional one!!
He had a great sense of humor. Polk Salad as he explained is a green like a Turnip green. It grows wild down south.
I miss Elvis 😢
I love your reactions, hello from Australia. I would love you to react to Bossa Nova baby from one of his movies. Elvis was so stylish with his clothes and trend setting with the side burns. He was beyond great. 💕💕
He liked to clown around on stage. You have to realize that in his prime, working in Vegas he was doing two shows a night, 7 days a week for 2 or 3 years. you have to have some kind of release.
He does covers of other people's songs but Elvis was not the first one to do that and artist have been doing it for decades and artist do it today still
My favourite ❤
You see how he uses the Sweet inspirations?! Nothing but fire 🔥🔥
Sweet Inspirations are singing!
Do this one : Elvis Presley - An American Trilogy (Aloha From Hawaii, Live in Honolulu, 1973)
That instrument doing the licks about 7:30 into the song is called an electric guitar, an instrument used a lot in the 20th century. ;)
Lead guitarist doing this is James Burton btw. A legend in his own right.
Enough of my snark. Thank you for a really nice reaction Shon!
Dude, you Must watch his videos from the 68 Comeback, and you'll see who Elvis is. His personality and sense of humor Shines. He fucks up a couple songs and just laughs it off like he's jamming in his basement.
One of my favorites
