Elvis’s voice matured over the years. He was 21 when he sang Jailhouse Rock and in his mid 30’s when he sang In the Ghetto. He was born into extreme poverty and never forgot the struggles of his family’s poverty.
Answering some of your really good questions. 1. Elvis grew up in extreme poverty in Tupelo Mississippi where he lived very close by the impoverished black community known as Shake Rag. He moved to Memphis when he was 14 and lived in the projects until he started his singing career. 2. Elvis was inly 19 when he started recording at Sun Studios in Memphis and was only 21/22 when he recorded Hound Dog (1956) and Jailhouse Rock (1957). He had a natural 2 1/2 octave range. As he matured he explored more and more ways to use his vocal instrument. Elvis, while not a song writer, was a master song interpreter as he so ably demonstrated when he recorded In The Ghetto, where is baritone added the darkness to the lyrics. 3. Elvis never really accepted the title King of Rock n Roll. He personally said that the title belonged to Fats Domino. Also, Elvis was always very quick to point out he didn’t start rock n roll, that it was there before he came along. It is others that keep insisting on calling him the king of R’n’R, often just shortened to the King (which he rejected even more as he said there is only one King, Jesus). So, please don’t fall into the trap of blaming Elvis for claiming the title because he surely is not the one to blame at all. Others bestowed that title on him. 4. Regarding Tutti Fruiti, Little Richard is on record saying by Elvis singing it, he made it bigger and made Little Richard bigger. That is an indication of how massive Elvis reach was. Rufus Thomas, another black artist from the 50s said that Elvis gave an injection to black music that no other artist had ever done. On top of that, Elvis always stated his admiration for the black artists who influenced him. He said if he could beat his box (I think that means play guitar) as well as Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup (originator of the first song Elvis commercially recorded in 1954) he’d know he had it made. Thank you for your reaction today and for the diplomatic way you expressed your opinions and asked your questions.
Thank you for this! And thank you for the support!!!
@@MMBxMOB - you failed to mention that this insightful song: "In the Ghetto" was written by the great singer/songwriter Mac Davis. I like Mac's version of it too. Elvis never went anywhere; I always thought it was ridiculous that they said Elvis had a come-back; he was never gone. I think most of this was a ploy by his overly ambitious manager, Col. Parker. Yes, Elvis was drafted. RIP Mac.
Can you put that on his tombstone, thank you.
Thank you Sally!
I so disagree with you on one instant... HE WAS THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL , just because he wasn't
the first to start it doesn't make him less that the best.
Elvis was born and raised in the ghetto of Tupelo Mississippi and raised by his mom since his dad was in & out of prison. Elvis sings this song from experience
Elvis in the Black Community
A must watch...
Most musicians back then didn't write their own songs. They chose songs, written by professional songwriters, that resonated with them.
Elvis sang around 700.songs, in his short career,Sold over a billion records, is in 5 hall of fames.and starred in 31 movies.and is still relevant today. Elvis had the whole package. Voice, moves,looks and charisma.
stevie wonder is far more decorated than Elvis when it comes to awards
Zappa changed the World of boring ugly clowns
Zappa troll how long did it take you to memorize everything? 🤣
Yes , stevie wonder Was more important, more Talented And much better than shit ugly boring clown zappa and he was blind, hahahaha
Zappa troll is like a roach you can’t kill him 🤮
He did so many good thing for all kind of people around him, he dedecated one of his concert to martin Luther king n Robert Kennedy, thank you young man, still love n miss him😭😭😭😭
OH,,You need to see the live' version of this song, his face says it all!
ELVIS recorded over 700 songs so you'd have to hear quite a few to know Elvis. He had big range with his voice. The year this song came out he was still in great condition.
Elvis lived in the projects! After his dad was arrested and sentenced to three yrs in prison, they had to live in government housing up till the day he recorded his first record in 1955.
He was a famous movie star ,three movies a year ,,he is in top five hall of fames ,can sing gospel, country, rock and roll, pop, rythum and blues, ballads ,he is the most versatile singer ever ,he has a huge catalog over 700 to 800 songs
He grew up in the geto so just as anyone else who grew up in the that is what inspired him. He didn’t steal anything he lived it. Love your reaction do more Elvis.❤
Mac Davis wrote this song.
He offered it to Sammy Davis Jr.
He declined.
When elvis accepted to sing this song, he was told not to.
However, Elvis being Elvis sang this strong message.
Elvis grew up in Tupelo, Mississippi being dirt poor.
There was only 4 white families in his community.
Because his only playmates and friends were black, he was shunned.
His story is fascinating and well worth researching his life.
One of the things I love about watching the young Black men who do reaction videos is that I have discovered most of you are far more sensitive than I thought you would be. There is a universal reaction to this song at a gut level because so many of the reactors I watch can relate on a very real level. Many men older than you have been reduced to tears and talk of friends and family they have lost in similar situations to the one Elvis is singing about here. It is frankly tragic that so many of you can relate. I am a PoC who grew up in the UK and things were tough, but not Chicago ghetto tough, so I am saddened by the song but cannot feel it on the same level as so many of the reactors here do. It's emotional watching you all react to it. If your childhoods were hard, I hope life blesses you from now on. 💜
Going beyond his music , Elvis had a generous , giving heart ... a religious man , but still just a man , he gave back as much as he received throughout his life. He never forgot the problems of poverty he faced when he was a boy ... he believed in equality and the ability to follow your dreams . See the new movie with Austin Butler that came out this summer ... it will give you a better understanding of this very unique talent and why he still revered today ! TCB Elvis !
One of the reasons Elvis was so great was because of the diversity of his music & the way he could change the the tone of his great voice to suit whatever he was singing.He could sing energetic stuff like Such A Night & then at the blink of an eye go straight into Can't Help Falling in love which even Madonna has recorded.
ELVIS CREATED ROCK-N-ROLL, THAT'S WHY BE BECAME THE KING OF MUSIC!
Elvis was the greatest singer and performer of all time. Elvis was born and lived poor until he became famous. Elvis was 1 of 4 white families living in East Tupelo Miss until he was 13 and they moved to Memphis. One of his black childhood friends, was interview by Baz Luhrman for the recent Elvis movie. Check out UA-cam for Baz interview with Mr Sam Bell to learn a bit about Elvis, including where he got some of his singing and dancing influence. There is also a UA-cam video comparing Elvis and Michael Jackson movements, dancing. The video is titled, I’ve Got a Feeling in My Body.
Elvis Presley is unique there's never been anyone else like him before or since. He will never be matched he is just a complete one off
you should watch the live version of this, his voice is amazing in any form.. BUT watching him live, seeing his face, the emotion and passion he shows in his live performances really touches the heart. When it says "come back" its because he was in the army for 2 years, when he came home he was locked into a contract to do something like 30 movies.. he returned to performing live after that contract ended. thats the "come back"
Elvis was known to have the ability to sing in three different octaves. A very rare talent.
Elvis was 35 here so his voice is more mature. This is how he sounds in many songs. He's portraying all the emotions needed for such songs. You need to watch the Elvis movie which was released this year.
seen the movie 3 times i still think wee lost the best years when was shipped in to army he was on fire TCB always
This recording has been slowed down so his voice sounds deeper
@@JohnSmith-gp3co oh ok. Didn't know that
@@alistairmcmillan8914 Agreed. Seems Elvis lost his rocker vibe after that. What music might he have made without that colonel running his life.
Elvis got to do his duty, to his country. Without any special favors. That is what indeared the country to him. Back then patriotism was big in the country. I argue that his military service, brought even more of the masses to him. All people, of all age groups, could love Elvis and his music. Truly a King of Music!
Any place can be a ghetto, and the KING, ELVIS grew up in the ghetto until he was 14, when his family moved from Tupelo, Mississippi, where he was born, to Memphis, Tennessee, where he lived in the projects until he got his first paying gig! He recorded almost 800 songs, made 31 hit movies, sold 8 billion records, and was put into 5 MUSIC HALL OF FAMES! He also received many, many accolades and awards! He was an unbelievable humanitarian! The lists go on and on! He was drafted into the army and music was not quite as important after Germany as it was before; hence "THE ELVIS COME-BACK T.V. SHOW"! I would suggest that you listen to "If I Could Dream"! He sang this on the "COME-BACK SHOW"! It is phenomenol! He was introduced to amphetamines by the military! But, don't let anyone fool you, he died from a heart attack! NO DRUGS, NO MATTER WHO SAYS THAT! I was there from the beggining, to say the least! I knew the man and his music, 1954-1977! He was a spectacular piano player and good guitarist; but he was a MASTERFUL singer! You wanted some songs to react to, well here are a few...1)That's All Right 2)Mystery Train 3)Heartbreak Hotel 4)I Was The One 5)Blue Suede Shoes 6)Hound Dog. 7)Don't Be Cruel. 8)Love Me Tender. 9)All Shook Up. 10)Jailhouse Rock. 11)Trouble. 12)It's Now Or Never. 13)Are You Lonesome Tonight? 14)Little Sister. 15)Can't Help Falling In Love 16)Return To Sender. 17)Devil In Disguise. 18)Viva Las Vegas. 19)A Little Less Conversation. 20)If I Can Dream 21)In The Ghetto. 22)Suspicious Minds. 23)Don't Cry Daddy. 24)Kentucky Rain. 25)Burning Love. 26)Hawaiian Love Song. 27)U.S. Male. 28)Baby Let's Play House. 29)Let It Be Me. 30)Solitaire. 31)Fame Or Fortune. 32)I Believe 33)Bridge Over Troubled Water. 34)Black Cadillac. 35)And, I Love You So. 36)Bossa Nova Baby. 37)How Great Thou Art. 38)Amazing Grace. 39)Midnight Train. 40)Clean Up Your Own Backyard! 41)Well, It Never Rains In Spain. 42)Merry Christmas Baby. 43)Blue Christmas. 44)I'll Be Home For Christmas. 45)O Little Town Of Bethlehem. 46)Silent Night. 47)Winter Wonderland. 48)The First Noel. 49)Holly Leaves and Christmas Trees. 50)O Come, All Ye Faithful. 51)I'll Be Home On Christmas Day. 52)If Every Day Was Like Christmas. 53)White Christmas. 54)Santa Claus Is Back In Town 55)Here Comes Santa Claus. 56)Santa Bring My Baby Back (To Me) 57) Mama Loved The Roses. 58)The Green, Green Grass of Home. 59)Stand By Me. 60)My Way. 61)Crawfish. 62)Shake, Rattle, and Roll. 63)The Great White Milky Way. 64)Always On My Mind. 65)Surrender. 66)Suspicion. 67)Good Rockin' Tonight. 68)Milk Cow Blues Boogey. 69)I'm left, You're Right, She's Gone. 70)I Want You-I Need You-I Love You. 71)This Time You Gave Me A Mountain. 72)I Got A Woman. 73)I'll Never Let You Go Little Darling. 74)I Love You Because. 75)Just Because. 76)Too Much. 77)Let Me Be You're Teddy Bear. 78)A Fool Such As I. 79)Don't. 80)I'm In Love With My Best Friend's Girl. 81)Something Blue. 82)Fever. 83)In The Garden. 84)Farther Along. 85)Hard Headed Woman. 86)Big Hunk Of Love. 87)Stuck On You. 88)A Mess Of Blues. 89)Wooden Heart. 90)I Feel So Bad. 91)Marie's The Name, His Latest Flame. 92)No More. 93)Mexico. 94)Fun In Acapulco. 95)Kissin Cousins. 96)Crying In The Chapel. 97)Joshua Fit The Battle. 98)Frankie And Johnny. 99)Long Legged Girl. 100)Memories. This is all that I could think of, off handed! Believe me, when I say that I am an ELVIS FANATIC!!! I LOVE ELVIS! And I have loved him my entire life...75 years of ELVIS! He was phenomenol! I probably could have given you 200 more if I had too! ELVIS is someone that you must research...you must jump down into the ELVIS rabbit hole and really learn about the KING OF ROCK AND ROLL! He didn't like to be called the KING! Once, some fans were screeming that at him during a concert and he stopped the music, he stopped singing, and hushed the audience. He very loudly replied, with sincerity in his voice, "Don't ever call me THE KING AGAIN, I AM NOT THE KING, JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY TRUE KING, I am only a singer!" Of course, his fans continued to call him KING...but ELVIS hated being called KING! It was just his fans that wouldn't stop! However, in my heart of hearts, I think that he deserved to be call The KING of ROCK and ROLL! In my opinion, no one was better than ELVIS! He was the GOAT!
BB king said music is for everyone!! Just enjoy it.
Watch his video If I Can Dream from his come back special the one in the white suit. He puts all of his feeling into this song.
for this song he became serious and sung from the heart
First thanks for a wonderful reaction. Next, from a third generation Elvis fan thank you for helping to keep Elvis alive in 2022. He was an amazing man and performer. There will never be another Elvis. I hope you will take the time to learn about who Elvis really was. There are some great documentaries about him and what he did for music and the world.
Thank you Mary! Will do.
"SUSPICIOUS MINDS" - The 1977 live Vegas version. It'll knock your socks off!
Loved for many reasons. You will find one.
I subscribed when I see you played Elvis but like the other commented do live performances of Elvis he was the greatest entertainer his charisma was out of this world & was gorgeous the women just went nuts over him! He sang all genre his Gospel will take you to church just fantastic! You will love going down the Elvis rabbit hole!
You need to see Elvis perform this song live in Las Vegas! You’ll love it & get a feeling of who he was❤️
I want to point one thing out regarding the mother having another baby she couldn't afford. This song came out in the late 1960s. It was only legalized throughout the US for married women to use birth control in 1965, and unmarried women didn't get that right until 1972. Of course, there are a lot of other barriers, like lack of sex education, lack of access to contraception even if it is legal, lack of the ability to say no to s*x, and other barriers to preventing unwanted pregnancies. This still happens today, obviously, but there were a lot more barriers to preventing unwanted pregnancies back then. And as other people have commented here, Elvis didn't write the song, but he did grow up in poverty and he knew firsthand what that is like. That's part of the reason he agreed to record it. It was a controversial song, and other artists wouldn't touch it. But he had the name recognition and the clout to be able to record and release this song, and I'm glad he did. It is my favorite Elvis Presley song. It's about something real that, sadly, is still every bit as much a problem today as it was way back then. I grew up very poor, and I have cousins who've been in and out of jail and rehab more times than I can count, and this song always touched me deeply and I think it might even be part of the reason I'm a social worker today. Because like Elvis, I know what it's like to be poor and hungry. I remember times when I was a kid when it was either food or electricity. We couldn't afford both. I think this song is so important, and still remarkably and disappointingly relevant today. I wish the world had changed since then, gotten better, but it hasn't. There's still so much poverty and people just trying to survive.
This is a great point, thank you for this!
LOL...Your shirt says it all. Thanks for reviewing the song.
Elvis was drafted into the army and was in for 2 years. When he got out he put on I believe it was 3 concerts in 2 days titled Elvis Presley's come back special.
It may have only been two. Sorry I was only 9 when he did that concert.
He also made 32 movies that kept him out of the concert performances until '68.
Elvis wS born dirt poorin tupelo Mississippi, and moved to Memphis Tennessee, as a young teenager and lived in public housing. Elvis got drafted into the army,and then the Beatles took over,and elvis had contracts to do movies. He came back in68.
Please watch the Documentary Elvis and the Black Community that Echo Will Never Die … it gives you an insight to what and Who Elvis is from people that was their as he was coming up . Yes he lived and grew up in the projects and the poor side of town
Just started watching your channel
Elvis grew up very poor he lived in a mostly black community in the ghetto of tupelo ms ,him and his family lived in 2 room shot gun shack that his dad built for them to live in ,there was days his family barley had money to buy food also there was days they didn't even have running water ... so he knew what living in the ghetto was like ,but He never forgot where he came from
If you want to know more about what elvis had to deal with when he first started out I highly recommend you do a reaction to the documentary elvis and the black community part 1 and part 2
And the documentary elvis a generous heart..
Can you do a reaction to elvis song
If I can dream from the 68 comeback special
He dedicated this song to mlk and jfk
Liked your Elvis reaction alot, do more Elvis.👌
i love what you said ! it is the true ! great reaction ! don;t stop
Appreciated your genuine response to my hero on the 50s and 60s.
Elvis did his army stint in Germany and also that 'gap' you referred to was when he made many movies. His comeback was widely waited for and took place in Las Vegas over a period of time. His iconic outfits were reminiscent of his love of judo. Elvis was surrounded by his possessive entourage 100% of the time, never leaving him time to himself. He was incredibly generous buying Caddilacs for people he hardly knew.
Elvis had everything..as a performer and a human being..that's why he was so loved and still is. The 1950s was a time of wholesomeness..strict religious codes of behaviour and the young loved his breaking through those behaviours. His hips and leg gyrations are mild compared to todays overtly sexualised dancing, but the kids went wild..he broke that stuffy mould and religious people hated him (corruption if their kids' morals)..so stupid. He wasn't a good actor but people wanted to see him. His style changed a lot after that.. a lot more mature..but still with a stage presence no one could emulate. His death was a terrible blow..and even here in Australia, he is still celebrated by young and old alike. See some of his earlier videos too.
Love the sweatshirt
Elvis sings this song better every time I hear it. I've heard it 100s of times. That's the deal. Gets better with time. x
LOVE,LOVE The Sweatshirt!...I'd love to wear one but I'm 72 yrs. and have 4 grandkids I see daily! LOL!........."Take My hand Precious Lord" is a MUST for his Gospel Genre'......Love your reactions,,,do more Elvis please!
Tutti Frutti is actually a rhythm and blues song, but yes rhythm and blues is one of the genres that rock was comprised of, along with gospel, blues, jazz, bluegrass, and its own distinct sound. Little Richard has said that he's a big fan of Elvis. I don't know if Elvis ever said anything about Little Richard, but he did a rock 'n roll style cover of Tutti Frutti so he must have been a Little Richard fan.
1954 to 1958 he became a superstar then in 195 8 he was drafted and was in the army and got out in 1960 . then he made 31 movies until 1968 the he had a comeback special on tv in 1968 which brought him to the top from there he became big star in vegas this is a quick history. also Elvis voice did change as he got older but elvis had many voices and he used what voice he needed to make the song right but you always new it was Elvis
The live performance of this in 1970 concert is great too.
Check out his song “If I can dream “. It was in honor of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy’s assassination’s.
That is why he was called The King.
Elvis was born in Tupelo Mississippi and moved to Memphis when he was 14. He was born in 1935 during the depression. They lived in government housing. They we’re very poor. Until he grew quickly to fame. This song was released in 1969. He was 34 when he released this song. He was in great shape at this time.
If you want to be blown away watch his video from his ‘69 comeback special when he sings the song If I Can Dream. It was written after Matin Luther King was Assassinated
And Bobby Kennedy being assassinated.
He changed Rock and Roll 🎸
When Elvis was younger his voice was naturally higher. When he got older his voice lowered as a grown mans voice will often do.
And more than firty years later, nothing has changed. That is the saddest thing.
hi y"all i'm 63 no matter how many times i hear this song i cry
Wow … you have sooooo much to learn!
That happens to most of us 🤘🥺
The government isn’t for anybody when you get down to the facts !!! 😢
18 number one's, 40 top 10s, 114 top 40s, 149 top one hundreds .that's why he's the king.
30 number #1's internationally!!
There is also a great rap to this song by Three Six Mafia also titled In the Ghetto; they are fans of his and he is also featured in their video.
3-6 MAFIA LIVED 3 MILES FROM ELVIS AT GRACELAND!
@@naomiwarner7117 thanks for the reply. The video about the black community and Elvis said they were 2 blocks from Graceland. Did they move to a bigger studio later? BTW I live their remix of In the Ghetto.
Great reaction ❤ react to him singing this live in Vegas he’s still in good shape when he did this song. Any more reactions you do of Elvis please do him live then you get to see the magic
Absolutely
Elvis grew up in one of the poorest neighbourhoods in mississippi, it was considered integrated because there were about 4 white families that lived in the black neighbourhood. Most of his friends were black, his best friend actually did an interview about them growing up together a couple of years ago, unfortunately he died soon after. His twin brother died at birth and his father was in prison for quite a while for passing a bad cheque. He knew the ghetto, he grew up there.
He was part american indian, from both his mother and fathers sides but his manager did not want that information to become public knowledge because of the racism of the time.
Oh, you wanna listen to his first(?) recording, "That's Alright Mama!"
The guitar player with Elvis was James Burton. Elvis surrounded himself with the best musicians and backing singers. 👌💕🕺
The voice of Elvis evolved over the years. He was able to mould his voice to the genre of song he was singing. There was, and still can be found, an article called The 50 Voices of Elvis Presley.
I would suggest you also watch -
"If I Can Dream" tribute to MLK by Elvis
"Elvis and the Black Community - part 1"
"Elvis and the Black Community - part 2"
He was a spokesman for peace and understanding - and shared music in a way that promoted many who were not being listened to - because of the color of their skin.
start FROM the start of his life.
Even early in his career, Elvis could sing deeper than in Hound dog ans Jailhouse rock. He shows some in Don't Be Cruel.
Elvis had 3 stages to his career. His early years of rock and roll. He was then drafted into the military. His second stage was his movies and then his comeback to live performances
Elvis hit all notes. He could sing any song in any book.
I was a kid when I first heard this song. It shaped my whole view of society. For the first time I saw the world through the eyes of someone that didnt look like me. . I related to the young man in the song.
The 1st time I heard this song I cried for humanity and now at 67 I still cry at this song for the same reasons. WE MUST DO BETTER! OUR KIDS DESERVE A BETTER FUTURE!
Powerful, Powerful song!
Elvis was drafted into the military at the height of his career. When he came home, he went into movies and didn’t perform live for 7 years.
Elvis is the only musician enshrined in these halls of fame: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Country Music Hall of Fame, Rockabilly Hall of Fame, Gospel Hall of Fame, Honky Tonk Hall of Fame, Rhythm & Blues Music Hall of Fame, Christian Music Hall of Fame. An educational look at appropriation.
Rock and Roll was merged together with three main music genres. 1. Country music, rockabilly and Honky Tonk are created by white people. The first commercial recording of what is widely considered to be the first country song featuring vocals and lyrics was Fiddlin' John Carson with "Little Log Cabin in the Lane" for Okeh Records on June 14, 1923. He was white.
2. Gospel music was about 50% black and 50% white in the 1940s and 50s. The first published use of the term "gospel song" appeared in 1874. The original gospel songs were written and composed by authors such as George F. Root, Philip Bliss, Charles H. Gabriel, William Howard Doane, and Fanny Crosby. All of them were white.
3. Black musicians invented the blues. I love the blues. William Christopher Handy was black. In 1912 he published “Memphis Blues,” now considered the first blues song.
My point is simple. Rock and Roll music is composed of multiple genres of music. Black and white cultures and genres ... Middle Eastern and Asian cultures too were are important ingredients of Rock and Roll and American music as a whole. So Elvis was a monumental cultural figure who's GREATEST GENIUS was understanding and mixing cultures and he just had immense God given talents. He truly believed MUSIC could bring people TOGETHER. He was right of course. The fact a white man was going against the grain he became a counter culture hero. His enemy was older white people from the south, the elites of the day. Youth Revolution and Civil Rights movements were ongoing and Elvis' music was a critical figure in both movements.
Written by Mac Davis from Lubbock TX another great anglo native American performer..elvis was in the military and took time to do movies for a while then came back to music
Elvis did dominate his whole career but he did a lot of romance movies in the 60s and went back to doing concerts in 1968.
You really need to watch this live!!!! Awesome reaction!!!!
His voice got better with time
Hey man thanks for listen to this song. I hope you will learn some truth about Elvis. please react to "Elvis and the Black Community,the Echo will never die". In spite of what you heard Elvis was an advocate for Black performers. In the segregated 50's white stations would not play black singers. He helped black singers like James Brown and Jackie Wilson. His voice got deeper as he aged. Thanks and Be blessed
his range is amazing hi low raspy or clear
Love it! And the the sweat jacket.
Thank you Mike!
That hoodie graphic is classic and oh so true!
LOVE YOUR SWEATSHIRT….I need to buy a couple of those & its 100% true. I have a lot of family in Luxembourg, lots of Bonifas cousins in Nospelt and they feel so sorry for the United States
Elvis served in the Army and started out again after he was done.
You should watch video of Elvis generous heart. He gave most of his $$$ to many people and charities. Watch a few videos like one of his cooks, who he loved and she loved him. He bought her a house. There will never be another Elvis. There is a great video between Sam Bell and Baz Luhrman( (producer of the movie Elvis). Sam Bell grew up
With Elvis in the ghetto in Tupelo Mississippi. He tells how his childhood pal, would go to
the black church and was always singing in the choir. Elvis HAD to go to white school back then and was not happy. He loved coming home to all his best friends. Elvis
Would never harm black community as he really was one of them. He had to go with his mama to pick cotton when she had no one to watch him as his daddy went to jail for forgery. He was gone nine months. Gladys, Elvis mon, wrote whoever explaining the hardship not having her husband to be helping with survival. He was released at nine months. He changed a $4.00 check to $40.00 check. Though not right, that person’s check who he changed owed him the $$. When Elvis lived in Tupelo, he had no indoor plumbing or electricity. His dad and uncle built a two room shotgun house. You can easily find that home and Tupelo history and statue dedicated to him online.
Elvis had 50 different singing voices..phenomenal voice.
Great song! I suggest these Elvis songs: Kentucky Rain, Suspicious Minds, Trying To Get To You (68 comeback version), Peace In The Valley & Viva Las Vegas
Trying to get to you by elvis is a good one to react too.
If you want to find out more about Elvis, check out “Elvis and the Black Community “ It dispels a lot of myths about him
Elvis was in the Army between 1958, and 1960.
LOVE the tee! 😎
He related to this song as child and young teen. He grow up in the poor mixed neighborhood in Mississippi then Memphis
And, thanks for your work/effort in providing us with this nice presentation. Forget all the DS, Dude had a message and the popularity to make it heard. Take it for what it is. Simple.
Love that hoodie
His gospel music was awesome as well ❤
So yeah the great majority of Elvis fans are super friendly. We'll help you understand the man and I welcome you to the world of Elvis! Spreading and sharing music and peace together was what he was all about. Oh yea and subbed!
are you still hiding behind someone else's identity?
how can anybody take what you say seriously.
the jig is up LARRY!
stop hiding behind a dead mans profile.

Mac Davis was big time in the 70s. He acted and sang, wrote songs, was just an ever present personality on tv and radio. He sings a funny song called "Hard to be Humble."
Elvis did play guitar, as well as bass, piano, and some ukulele.
He was in the service for 2 years then made movies for about 8 years. Elvis didn't Wright any songs. When he quit making movies he made a comeback to singing
Elvis Baby !
The king of rock & Roll. He could and did sing all music.
If you want to hear the rap version of this song, check out Three 6 Mafia.
Elvis transitioned from singer to movie star very early in his career. He made his first movie Love Me Tender in 1956. His manager, the incorrigible Tom Parker had an artist management philosophy that an artist should not compete with himself. So, once Elvis came back from his Army service in 1960, Parker locked him into 3 movies a year deal with Hollywood. Most of the music Elvis recorded from 1961 to 1968 was soundtracks for his movies (in total he made 31 movies from 1956 - 1969), with the quality of the songs varying widely. Elvis was starting to become isolated from the wider music consumer and had not done a live concert since 1957 (apart from two charity concerts in 1961). The NBC TV Special simply entitled “Singer Presents Elvis”, the very first TV special featuring just ONE artist, was the first time Elvis had sung to a live audience in almost 8 years. Over time this TV Special has affectionately been renamed Elvis 1968 Comeback. He was contracted to do 2 more movies in 1969, after which he restarted his live performances and never stepped inside a Hollywood studio ever again other than to rehearse for his concert style movies “Elvis: That’s The Way It Is.” and “Elvis On Tour”.
