I still have Unchained Melody stuck in my head. 🤣
React to that one please!!!
I guess i'll have it in my ears AND head for the rest of my life! 🤣🤯🤣
46 years after his death, people are still calling Elvis the King of Rock'n'Roll, but he didn't like that title, he believed that the only King was God and he actually told this to his fans several times, he said: I believe that God is the only true king.
I think that Elvis is and only the king of Rock'n roll, he is the king of music because he can sing very well in any genre, but what do you think, is he good enough to be called a music king?
Elvis was really in my mind, the King of GOSPEL and other music, no one does it better then him, he is best known for making Rockn roll famous, so he was called The King of Rockn roll, but he never liked that people called him that.
He repeatedly stopped fans who said that he was the king of rock'n roll, telling them:
I'm just an entertainer and singer, God is the only true King (sometimes he adde and that it Christ)!!
Elvis was born in the poor parts of Tupelo Missisippi and it was mainly Afroamericans living there, at the place where Elvis family lived there only lived 3 more white familys, the rest was colored people, his family was dirtpoor until he became an artist after singing in a mainly colored peoples church during his childhood.
Did you know that he had several friends that where Afroamericans, one of his friends where James Brown, yes THAT James Brown (The King of Soul), another artist was B.B King, yes that B.B King...
He also was a good friend with Mohamed Ali, yes the GREATEST boxer of all time, he even had a Robe made for him, but it was to much bling on it so Ali wouldn't where it more then one time to a fight.
He really admired Martin Luther King very much, Elvis felt that all people are equal, unfortually he never got to meet him, that would have created to much problems for both of them at that time.
He had several medical problems, Glaucoma, sleeping, irritable bowel syndrome, things that affected his real life and made him need medication to function.
Yes, he took medicines that today are considered to be called drugs, but at that time doctors prescribed it to him and to ordinary people, they did not know of the problems it could give people (side effects).
He never took any so-called street drugs, but unfortunately he did not realize that those medications would be a problem for him, he thought that they where ordinary medicine because his doctor prescribed them to him and to everyone else that needed it.
Many of his relativs died at a relatively young age, so even if he wouldn't have the medication, he might have died at about the same age.
He could never be alone and thus himself, at that time the word superstar did not exist, so nothing could prepare him for that kind of life.
Did you know that a big group of white people actually smashed his records and wanted to ban his music, just because they called the music he did so called N... music, that is so painfun to think that some people actually can think like that, skincolor is just color and nothing more, when will people realise that?
There are some videos of when Elvis joking and messing up, he loved to joke around and pretend that he did not have control, but he had total control, he acctually conducted his musicans and back up choirs all the time !
He is the only person to have 2 records gone to sell Gold and 2 to to sell Platinum since he died.
Elvis is also in almost every genre of Music Hall of Fame (5 that I'm sure of Rock 'n' Roll, Country, Gospel, Rockabilly and Rhythm and Blues), if Gospel is a genre in Music Hall of fame, then he should be in there to, but no one else is in more then perhaps 2 genres.
Not bad for someone who never took a single singing lesson, yes he sang in church so perhaps he learned a little there, right?
Something else that people tend to overlook:
He always conducts his musicans and backup singers, he never gets credit for being able to do that.
Imagen you are a singer, you have great musicans, you have great backup singers, no Guest Artists, no Autotune, no Lipsinging and no Fireworks, now all is about your skill, could you handle that pressure?
At the time when Elvis started, then Autotune did not exist yet and when it became availible, then he still did not use it, he did not need to, he always sang so that you could hear every word that he sang, the Fans always felt that he sang to just you !
That is what Elvis did in over 1600 concerts (during his 20 years as an artist), despite having problems with his health, like his Glaucoma, the headlights must have hurt his eyes like crazy.
He sang over 800 songs, I wonder how he could remember them all, he never vrote a song himself, so he had to remember other peoples lyrics, well that is amazing in it self.
By the way he had Glucomea and that must have been difficult being in the headlights all the time, that could be why he sometimes closes his eyes, but also sometimes squinting !
This unfortually made him temporary blind after the shows, that is why they led him of the stage and into his car, that is something that not many people knew about Elvis.
Elvis suits was made of 100% Polyester, or 100 cotton (I'm not sure witch one), it was originally a karate suit, it was very light, but it was hot, so it made him sweat a lot, he got some bad press about that, but if you give it all then you will sweat, it should be positive, right?
About the deep basevoice JD Sumner (a member of The Stamps Quartet) he is the Basso Profundo, I think it's called that, it is the deepest base singer there is.
A video about him helping others, look at this: ua-cam.com/video/CrJ1c9tm-C0/v-deo.html
Elvis made a show where all the money went to build the Memorial after Pearl Harbour, he talked to the nations about taking the Poliovaccin, Elvis took the first injection himself, he helped by donating a big amount of money to St Jude hospital, they fight against cancer (especially children with), he also gave away juwelery, gave away cars, he even gave away some houses to total strangers.
Elvis started an organization that helps people to get out of Homelessness (Presley Charitable Foundation), this organization helps people even now close to 50 years after he passed away.
A thing that you perhaps did not know: Elvis ALMOST NEVER did a show OUTSIDE OF USA, yes he did sing a few times in Canada: 4 concerts, 2 in Toronto, 1 in Ottowa and 1 time in Vancouver (during the 50:s?).
When the Aloha From Hawaii (Live in Honolulu 1973) was showed it had close to 1.5 Billion viewers from around the whole world and 3.7 billion people lived on earth at this time, so it was close to 1/3 of all of the population on earth that wiewed the show, it was the first time a single artist was shown LIVE around the globe.
Video of Mohammad Ali speech after Elvis died:
ua-cam.com/video/PO8Kq_3KTyI/v-deo.html
I have to say that I loved being at Graceland and seeing his home, first we were at the house in Tupelo where he lived in his early years, he was born there !
You don't have a guide taking you on a tour, you can go all over yourself, but stay outside of the ropes and do not attempt to go upstairs, the outside is huge, so is the house, but you don't realise that from the front of the house.
I don't regret for a second that I was there, or that I stood at his grave site and said out loud that this is for the humanitarian Elvis/the person/the man and then I gave him a military salute, the others there just looked at me and asked if I didn't like his music.
So I told them that he was clearly one of the best singers and artists ever, but I loved his big heart more, he helped so many people without getting credit for it, he didn't want the credit of helping others, he did it out of love and respect and to me that is what true charity is all about.
This PLACE (GRACELAND) should be a protected part of music history and also American history forever, I think that people will keep coming for years and years and years to come !
Elvis did lots of things for America to, he helped in a big way to avoid getting Polio (he took the vaccin in a tv show and that made the intrest for taking the vaccin to go up from 0,6 % all the way up to 80 % in 6 months), so in 6 months he got 79.4 % more of the American people take the Polio vaccin and shortly after it was eradicated from USA, he also helped in the figth to defeat Cancer by helping to build up St Judes children cancer treatment clinic by donating a huge amount of money to them, he also helped to build the Memorial over Pearl Harbour and many other things!
Omg . Elvis Presley was phenomenal. He was an iconic. He was a king of Rock & Roll . His voice was so powerful and was so deep . I was crying each time I listened and I will listen it for millions time . Thank you the suggestion for this idea of reaction .
Best preformance of all time Elvis put it all on the table.
Elvis Second to None
The GOAT 🎤🇺🇸❤️
I'm so grateful to the younger generation for keeping the music of Elvis alive...hope it never ends.
There is no one like him ever the best singer ever
The scene in the movie that shows Elvis laying on the floor holding a sheet of lyrics for this song, playing it over and over again is pretty damn accurate! Elvis never learned to read music. Everything he played or sang was done "by ear". He would listen to a recording of the music, then while reading the lyric he would sing along with it until he felt comfortable with the song. As depicted in the movie, MLK was murdered in Memphis, TN at the end of April, and RFK was murdered only 5 weeks later in early June. Elvis' special wrapped shooting June 27th and was aired December 3rd of that year, so this was very personal to Elvis! I'm glad you like it!
I love you honestly, and God this man can sing like no one before or after, while God bless you and I wish you all the luck in the world! Sincerely ~ Christopher Tyler
LOVE IS ALL THAT MATTERS!!! P.S. I'm a republican just to let people know that the divisions falsely created by the media must stop and we must love everyone!
Was the King of Rock and Roll , and will forever be
a title given to him by white America.
Loved your reaction. This song touches me in the way. Truly soulful.
Elvis is my all time favorite. I like other singers but he is the best.
We need this song to be spread to the world we need this song more then ever so please everyone spread this to everyone and let's make this dream come true
Nobody will have 1.6 billion watch a concert wide like elvis did. The funny thing is the world's popular was half of what it is today. More people watched him them the first landing on the moon. With no auto tune just all talent. The more elvis you play the subscribers you will get
"Elvis was ALL about PERFORMING. That was his LIFE. And he was SO GOOD at it. Sooo sooo POWERFUL. It's like he and the music ARE ONE." -- Kurtis B. ---- DUDE you NAILED IT right there brother!!!
Do you know what his life was like as a child? Do you know his greatest love as a child was Gospel music he sang in a Baptist church? He recorded over 200 Gospel songs and I love them. Did you know he did what no other white man would do in the 50’s. He demanded equality, they called him the white N work and made everyone in the South smash his records. He never backed down.
I always connect Elvis with my Mother. They were the same age and she died just weeks after him. The world needed Elvis much longer and we needed our Mother. Our Father followed her just a couple of years later. I am Australian, how many of our great singer do you know? I know yours.
Hey Kurtis , Kurtis, love your enthusiasm to the ELVIS reaction,, I just subbed, we all know that ELVIS is MUSIC, he will always be here forever and always, the Man has so much passion and charisma that no one comes close to, and they don't sing music like this Man did , now, I haven't heard anything close to him. I hope you stay in the Elvis journey and you will learn so much more about the man who changed the world in so many ways, your mom knows what she's talking about, would you react to Elvis singing Walk a mile in my shoes and Just Pretend, as well as a Gospel song, This time Lord you gave me a mountain , he is so powerful in all his songs, but I think he really shines the most in Gospel, also try him with another genre, One night with you in the 68 comeback special, that you just saw him in with this song. He does it All. Thanks for the great reaction and TCB1935🕺🕺🕺⚡⚡⚡👑👑👑👑👃👃👃👃
Oh you are so right. Nobody like Elvis. How privileged are we to have known his music and presence.
not his music.
The King.
Austin did a great job playing Elvis.
This was his tribute to MLK and Bobby Kennedy (both good friends).
Nobody like him is absolute FACT. The voice was amazing.
So almost 25 years later - Yes I agree with you ! The best !!! Such a beautiful message!!!!
THE KING!!! PERIOD.......
I love watching Elvis Presley when his singing
Your right now one is like Elvis
Well done. There is an honesty and authenticity to your manner. Pleasing to watch. Stay well.
In the midst of all the hate in the world, Elvis gives some hope that man will wake up and exist together on our wonderful earth.
Loved your reaction so I subbed. In the movie during this song it was Elvis' voice with some of Austin's blended in.
Please react to "Bridge Over Troubled Water" live in Las Vegas 1970 and "What Now My Love" live in Hawaii from his 1973 "Aloha From Hawaii" Satellite Special. He will blow
you away!
My Dad took my sister and I to Las Vegas, we stayed at the Hilton 1975 which was previously the International. My dad asked us if we wanted to see Elvis, I was only 11yrs , but I have to say, Elvis...omg at only age 11 I was mesmerized by him....unbelievable.
He put everything into that performance
He is the number 1 selling solo artist to date
This song was written special for Elvis because he was the man for everyone now you got to watch Elvis singing and performing live ,do his 68 comeback special ,or him in Vegas ,when he does suspicious minds , Polk salad Annie you won't be able to take your eyes off him
Dr Martin Luther King Jr was a MASTER ORATOR. Elvis was a master MUSICAL ORATOR. Just NOBODY can replace their perfect dictation and emotion and you nailed it Kurtis, its because THEY BECAME their speech and song. Every word, every SYLLABLE ---- EVERY EMOTION. That VOICE. The Elvis movie was a 10/10 and a MUST WATCH ... but this one moment I am SO GLAD they captured in the movie. This was in dedication to the civil rights movement, MLK, Robert Kennedy and everyone else on the planet. This was a cry out, and its still resonates today. I can't think of a BETTER social justice song than this one... and PRESLEY was JUST THE RIGHT MAN to deliver it and Mannnnn... did he ever DELIVER. Elvis stood up to racism, when almost everyone else of means tried to ignore it. Elvis wouldn't let them. BONAFIDE LEGEND and paladin of PEACE and TOGETHERNESS. WE NEED his voice today man.
VERY well said - and SO true! I couldn't agree more. God gifted Elvis with many talents, then He gifted us WITH Elvis! ☺💖
Love Elvis
Thank you for playing Elvis Presley love it and that song wauuu 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
As well as Austin Butler did this..and it was by far the most exceptional acting and imitation performance I (in my 53 years of being obsessed with Elvis and his music) have ever seen, until you see the original, it is clear, that no one, no how, no way could ever tap into the indescribable magic that was and will forever be Elvis Presley!
In the movie it was Elvis singing this song...not Austin.
KINGELVIS: The film is a piece of trash. EVERYTHING about it is trash, including Butler's piss-poor, laughably pathetic "portrayal" of Elvis.
Love your reaction there will NEVER be anyone like him EVER!!!!
I disliked the movie very much, thought it wasn't even close to Elvis. Baz ruined it like he did with classic Fitzgerald's "Great Gatsby" trying to modernize a true classic. I love Elvis, I was too young to appreciate him when he was here (RIP, Elvis) but man, he was something. And THERE HE IS, the most successful solo male artist of all time, EVER...to this day. The most beloved, loved entertainer to ever grace this earth. Unbearably handsome, with the best most beautiful smile I've ever seen. Have heard in peson people whom met him were literally speechless at his beautiful. I hope he knew how much he was adored, appreciated, loved. He gave his all.
Baz is fabulous. So is the movie. Saw it 25 ,times would do 25 more of it wad still in the thestet
It's so wonderful to see young people show their appreciation for the unique talents of Elvis. And he thought no-one would remember him.
I wish I was born at that time only so I could hear him live!!!
My parents were born the same year as Elvis Presley. They had 6 kids, so we all grew up on him. Seen all his movies so many times. My parents oldest sister and brother and aunt seen Elvis every single time he came to town. I had a chance. My sister asked if I wanted to go and I said yes. My mom said no. Had to watch my younger brothers and sister. She said next time. I was 14 and there was no next time. Elvis passed that year. I cried and cried. I'm a new subscriber. I suggest 1970 live Suspicious Minds and Polk Salad Annie. Elvis's dancing, WOW.
Elvis was outstanding, he wasn't one in a million, he was once in a lifetime, oh, and his drummer the late Ronnie Tutt was exceptional.
Have not seen the movie yet so some things may be in it that are in the short documentary "Elvis Presley & The Black Community - That Echo Will Never Die" but there might be some new stuff.
Elvis was my first concert at 13 with my aunt and uncle!! The best concert tol this day and I have been to many concerts!! Btw he was a twin , his brother passed at birth!! Rip King , the world couldn't handle 2!❤️🤘
Whitney Huston (Mom a backup singer) said she got to meet Elvis when she was little. But also said, “You don’t meet Elvis- You witness Elvis.” When he walked in a room (he was tall as well) you just stared. He was larger than life.
ELVIS is the G.O.A.T.!!! Keep the LEGEND alive. '68 Comeback Special "Trying To Get To You", "Polk Salad Annie" A MUST listen.
We need Elvis's dream to come true now!!!!! Hater's get over your-selves!!!!!!!
I agree, it was amazing because it was not an act, it was soulful, heartfelt and real. That's who Elvis was also, real. I look forward to hearing you react to Elvis and others. A shoutout to your Mom for her taste in music.❤😂
ELVIS from '22 is A MUST WATCH movie.
Greatest of All Time! I love it when people appreciate his talent.
Shout out to all our parents who rolled with Elvis!!!
Great, great reaction :) Thank You!
There will never be anyone like him.
I think it's one of the greatest performances ever.
This still sounds great even after almost 50 years.
Yea, if anything it is as relevant today as it was in 1968.
@Mo Mir * Elvis' voice is timeless❗
No one has ever even come close to imitating Elvis’ voice . He was an amazing talent - never to be replaced. Gone to soon.
Listen to gary brooker from procol harem you will be shocked how good he is
It's been said - that when God made Elvis - he was just showing off!!!
there have been many who got remarkably close
Elvis went from the "King of Rock and Roll" to "THE KING". Is their any wonder?
The king of rock an roll
The man left everything on that stage-could barely say “thank you, good night.”
Elvis had it all ....!
Elvis inventet big dick energy.
Oh my lord he was gorgerous!!! 🤤
Love Elvis Presley love that song 🙏👍🏻♥️♥️🙏👍🏻❤️
I would have loved to see him live, ELVIS THE KING ❤️❤️😔🙏
@Doris G. * Me too! It's the one BIG regret in my life!
TAlk about relative to todays society. Can you imagine if they performed this song @,the Oscars? :-) NOTHING ELSE COMES CLOSE!! Will blow the world away!#
Elvis is the king 👑
When people would call Elvis the king while he was still alive he would reply by saying "Jesus is the king I'm just an entertainer"
@@JazieFranksTrue,
I love what he did there
Incredibile Elvis...il migliore❤
Watch him do bridge over troubled water 1970 version.
Oh wow, that performance on stage is stunning. Even Paul Simon was blown away.
Excellent! I raised my son on Elvis and the BeeGees, so I understand your mom!😂 Anything from the comeback special 1968, black leather suit, sit down version. Trying to get to you, Heartbreak Hotel, etc. Thx.
We're lost in a cloud with too much rain. We're trapped in a world that's troubled with pain. That's hit it right there. This song and how much almost anger and emotion he places into it. Without over done emotions. Just nailed it.
I love your reaction and comments.
Elvis put his all in all of his performances, but this one is PHENOMENAL!
I saw the movie 12 times in the theater. Austin Butler did as well as anyone could’ve possibly done. He was phenomenal. But there’s only one Elvis . He oozed sex appeal , talent, and charm.
Shame on you for wasting your money on something that has nothing to do with the REAL Elvis Presley. All you did was help make some people rich who don't deserve it and you are fooling yourself if you believe that movie is representative of Elvis and his life.
@@qso3566 what’s wrong with it? Are you not an Elvis fan?
I think that @qso 356 missed the point. Elvis in his entirety can’t be put into a nice neat little box, but the few storytelling events gives an outline of how he came to be and finished his life. Dreams matter to those who have them and pursue after them, and when there are no dreams left it makes life shorter.
When God made Elvis - he was just showing off!!!
That may not be the only reason we call him the G-O-A-T but it sure makes the case. I love that song, my favorite. Great reaction. My only disappointment in the movie is that they didn’t allow the entire performance of the song although I guess with my attitude the movie would have been 8 hrs long…
I just commented, but one more note…the single, greatest combination of song+man+talent+poignancy EVER! I’d put this up against ANYTHING!
TOTALLY agree.
this song always gives me chills. Thanks for your reaction!
This was a special song. Martin Luther had recently died in Memphis, and Elvis sang this song from his heart and soul. ❤
You can hear the yodel in the back of his voice. This song led me down a rabbit hole that wound up with me looking at videos of Elvis yodeling. 🤷♀️🤣
Love that song 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩❤
Love that song 🙏👍🏻♥️
Elvis is soooo fantastic wauw 🙏👍🏻♥️♥️♥️
LOVE your reaction to this iconic performance...arguably the best live performance ever captured on film. He's dripping with emotion here.
Loved your reaction, brother. Love seeing younger guys appreciating how special Elvis truly was.
Thats ELVIS. NO ONE CAN BE COMPARE TO HIM. LOVE LOVE YOUR REACTION. TRY AMERICAN TRIOLOGY AND MY WAY. 💕💕💕💕
Best "My Way" ever!
If you like unchanged melody you need to hear the original by bobby Hatfield of the righteous bros in 1965. It is iconic!
Fantastisk song ❤️
Thank you for playing Elvis Presley love it ❤️
When that song played in the movie I cried like a baby! So much meaning to it. I'm a huge fan of Elvis and always will be! Thank you Kirk! 💖
The best of all time ❤
I think the new Elvis movie was released at a time the world needed this song and brought it to a lot of listeners that needed the message it has.
From his 1956 performances on Ed Sullivan, until his death in 1977, he was a phenom.
❤❤❤for the death of MLK ❤❤❤❤legend❤❤❤❤
Imagine if today's music icons sang about how you can redeem your soul if you try.
Amen.
You need to see it a few times because he transformed R&R into mainstream music. Colonel Tom did not get his way and this song did replace the Xmas song. I loved the movie. Such a profound tribute to him. Of course I cried my eyes out in the end.
He only sung this song twice for the special, NEVER sang it anywhere else. This was a very emotional song for him and he put everything into it. The special is a must see.
After listening to the background of this song and those around him, during interviews. Elvis felt the song was needed during that time, between the JFK and MLK assassinations, he knew the raw emotions would not be transferred to any other performance. This has to be his most heart felt performance EVER, he knew that and wanted to keep it at that.
I LOVE ELVIS! I LOVE KURTIS B.! 😉 THANK YOU!!
Love him
Hermosa canción, cada vez que la escucho se me eriza la piel, pedí a mi hija que el día que yo me vaya de este mundo me despida con esta canción
Awesome reaction thanks! More Elvis please. He is still loved worldwide. He will never be forgotten. ⚡👍
hellow from chile . greetings
Good reaction
Love it ❤❤❤❤❤
What can you say? He said it all!❤🇫🇮
The voice,the king ❤
Loved you reaction
This was powerful out of this world performance!! Elvis can sing any genre and his ballads are full of emotion and passion. React to others from his 68 special if you haven't already. Trouble/Guitarman, American Tilogy Bridege over Troubled Waters, bluesy songs like Sreamroller Blues
