I cry every time I watch this. Third generation Elvis fan. My mom and grandma were in that huge group. They drove from South Carolina. Being born 8 years after Elvis death I never got to experience Elvis alive. That hits different. If you are not an Elvis fan you will never understand the love for Elvis. If you are an Elvis fan then no other explanation is needed. My children are becoming fourth generation Elvis fans. Thanks for keeping Elvis alive in 2022
The night before Elvis' funeral James Brown sat with Elvis' casket at Graceland, Elvis'l home, to spend time talking to his friend and showing his respect
SJ TL That is true !!
James Brown was one of the few non family members allowed time alone with the body.
@@OverandOutChief1 james and elvis were always best friends and sang songs together it was lovely to c
Oh I didn't know that,thanks I learned something new everyday
Here in Europe on each tv Chanel on each radiostation the played elvis for days..no internet..the world was smaller..every record was sold out..I saw people crying here in belgium on the street including myself..we knew something special left this world...it still hurts today..thank you for bringing him to the attention he deserves..greetings from belgium
Wow sending love to 🇧🇪 Belgium. Thank you so much for watching and sharing your memories with us 💜😀
That day was the first time I ever saw my father cry. As well as an entire nation. Gone but not forgotten.
Thank you so much for your comment Scott😀💜
I live in England & i remember this day as i was 15yrs old & my Parents came running into my bedroom shouting & crying Hes Dead Hes Dead,i woke up saying who is Dead? Elvis My Dad Cryed he has Gone So Young Too Early!! We just all cryed together😢😢 as we were & still are Big Elvis Fans❤❤
I remember the day it came over the tv that he had died. I was 11. My mom had took me to see Elvis in concert the year before he past for my birthday. Even though I was just a kid, when I seen that he had past away, I cried for days. I actually still have the program from the concert. He was a Beautiful Soul.
Elvis will NEVER leave the building!! Much love, Elvis!!!
The world did stop, I live in Australia, I remember the day he died, headlining the news all the papers, for me I was collecting Elvis records and still am a big fan, I couldn't believe it, I remember thinking that this is the end of music as we know it, Elvis's music, there was a meaning to all of his music, I know everyone talks about Michael Jackson and his music, He didn't change music, all he did was make a few new tunes, Elvis changed the world with his music, he didn't steal music from anyone, Elvis just used music that he had heard from his friends in the black community, where he also lived, he felt that music and brought it to every one to hear...
@Lori Hanks Elvis was Michael's father- in- law!
@Lori Hanks elvis presley was way better than micheal Jackson the people who say elvis is better knows what real music is Michael Jackson will never be like elvis presley believe that elvis is the king 1935 to 1977 still the best singer ever
M.J didnt have the world on his shoulders like The King. Poor guy was crowned king at the love me tender age of 21- straight from being dirt poor, survived the tsunami wave of criticism etc from the establishment, nearly got banned from tv, had to serve the draft in germany for 2 years whilst his beloved mother passes away, had to sing side by side with Sinatra who was convinced the screams were for him during Elvis comeback, meets Cilla, had to churn out b grade movies for the next 8 yrs whilst the Beatles were doing a great job imitating him etc etc and he did it with utmost class! M.Js biggest dilemma was playing with a barbie doll he wanted to look like many years later. Sheesh
Paul Annas European here, I was 14 it was so hard to believe, no one could talk about anything else.
Very well said. I couldn't have said it better myself. Honoring Elvis does not dishonor MJ or anyone else. And I am sure if MJ was here he would also be paying his own tribute to the King.
I remember where I was when Elvis died. I'm 57 years old now. Elvis presley still the King of Rock and Roll.
I was 7 years old, and I can still see it in my mind. I walked into the living room to find my mom standing in front of the t.v. crying. My parents were huge fans of Elvis, they're both gone now, but I'm so glad they introduced me to his music at such an early age.
Same here. I was 7 as well. I heard my momma crying, and came out in the front room. I was heartbroken at that young age. I have never forgotten it.
ELVIS will never ever be forgotten RIP king🙏
cried like a baby when he pass : everytime I hear this song get tears in my eyes
How about Tomorrow Never Comes
One of Elvis’ greatest fears during his last year or so was that he would be forgotten because he had not done anything worthwhile in his life. I have been a huge Elvis fan since 1961. I have over 230 books on Elvis in my collection. So I think it is fair to say I know a thing or two about him. AND I can tell you that he would be absolutely blown away and very humbled to know that lovely people like yourselves, and so many others too, are just discovering him in 2020, 43 years after he left us. And Elvis would be thrilled to welcome you to his fan family too. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the work you are doing in perpetuating Elvis’ legacy. With new fans like you Elvis will never die.
I was brought with elvis if u can you let me know outher people that always had a meaning or story behind that they ever sang elvis was always was a story i only 49 still dont know any one each song was a story about someone or something you will hear some songs mean something but all elvis all were a story about someone or something true till the heart
Yeeesss!!!!
It was miserable hot that day in Memphis. I spent so many hours at that house and gate. I am blessed to be friends with his family to this day. It’s a beautiful place and the amount of people that still visit is astounding. God Bess y’all
I remember the BBC news announcement so well. Even the newscaster was stunned (and in 1977 BBC news announcers did not show their emotions on the news), He was called Reginald Bosinquet and he said after announcing it, 'I hope it isn't true'. Announcers NEVER made comment when reading the BBC news. It still makes me cry to see Elvis's funeral, all these years later. We all loved him and we still do. Thank you for your sensitive reaction.
It’s so tragic that this wonderful man became so sad and unwell and couldn’t be helped 💔💔
This was very sad. I was sitting in the living room with my mama & daddy when a special report came over the TV. I will never forget the looks on their faces. Mama's mouth dropped open...they were in shock. It was a very sad time. We " southerners" were/are very proud of Elvis Presley. May he RIP 💙
Forest Hill Cemetery was a "sea of flowers." A spokesperson for FTD, the flowers-by-wire service, they had more orders that day for Elvis than ever before in their history. By that afternoon, Memphis ran out of flowers and scrambled to get additional flowers shipped in from around the nation. To this day this has never been duplicated. It is still hard for me to watch, I remember it being televised on the networks and still brings back the memories and the tears.
And to think, Lisa Marie had to beg people to send flowers to Michael Jackson's place of burial
ELVIS Presley was and still is the greatest live on stage entertainer, singer, movie actor of all time. Nobody does it better than The King! Two Thumbs Up 😀😍😊
Hey HT Long thank you so much for watching💜😀
Hi Madam, hi Sir, thank you for your kind comments, you know, people still love Elvis all over the wolrd, loved him since I was a teen and now I am 58, I live in Belgium but I am from Crete island - I love the spirit of Elvis, God bless the two of you
People came from all over the world. Don’t forget this was Memphis is August - it was HOT and yet people stood for hours just to see the hearse drive by. He was LOVED like no other. The world was shocked when he died. I remember hearing the news on my portable radio - running into the house and seeing it on the tv - my Dad in shock.
I remember walking home from school the fateful day Elvis died and the mothers were slumped over in tears, people shaking their heads in disbelief, Men women children tears streaming down- it was and still is a sad surreal moment in history, lots of Australians still love Elvis
You will hear any stories that he meant for everyone be together he didnt want heatread among eachouther love u elvis rip
I remember too
I was only 9 but, it was weird everyone crying and people everywhere
The saddest moment in history in my opinion. We have to keep on smiling but there’s always that under lying sadness. He was magnificent! ✌️❤️
I remember I was 10 years old, on holiday in Scotland....My aunt came to the little shingle beach and told me. The world stopped. It felt like i had lost someone from my family. 10 years old and I cried rivers of tears.
Wow devinraymond thank you so much for sharing your memories with us. God bless you
@@ShawnandMel4Life Aww, no, thank you for reacting to Elvis. You do an amazing thing, you really do. I'm seeing more and more amazing people from the black community reacting to Elvis. he was a beautiful and loving person, no hate inside that man. But the ugly lies are still spoken. If you can change just one person's mind, you can right a terrible wrong. Bless you both, and much love.
I was 28 years old when Elvis passed away. I cried like a baby. The legend was gone. His music inspired millions of people, and it didn't matter what color they were. He was truly the greatest of all time and the king of rock forever and ever. I still have the newspaper that announced his departure..
Thank you so much for your memories Richard💜
I remember exactly where I was. I was fortunate enough, that my Mother was a huge Elvis fan. She took all my siblings to see Elvis on July 4 1976 in Tulsa,Oklahoma, imagine that he would have a concert on this Countries 200th birthday. He loved people and his country, why he will always be the King of Rock....always a fan once you hear the story and his music.
I saw Elvis in Madison Square Garden with my parents and younger brother. I was about 10 yrs old. I was coming home from a Disney vacation in a taxi cab with my parents and brother when it came over the radio. My mother let out a scream. Went to Graceland when I grew up . Man when the gates opened up and I was entering I couldn’t control my emotions. Both my parents were gone when I went, but they were ALL in my heart. 🙏❤️🦋🌈⭐️🤴
I was only 9 when Elvis passed. I remember my parents being in shock we always had his music playing and listened to one of his xmas albums every year while decorating the tree. Anyway the day he died I wrote about it in my diary and a tear fell on the page and I circled it😔 wish I still had that diary
I live in Memphis and remember that day. I was 16. We in Memphis looked at Elvis like a neighbor. The city had idea how big of a deal Elvis was until he died. Outside Graceland, over 100,000 people had gathered. For the next three days, it was chaos in a way. The city was so unprepared for it. They allowed fans to walk by the casket. Imagine a long line up the driveway to the front of the mansion, and that line extended nearly to the Mississippi state line. I worked in a movie theater, and some of the theaters had all-night Elvis movies. My friends and I went to one. As I said, Memphis had no idea Elvis was so big. We used to see him in his front yard or driving around in one of his Stutz cars or one of his motorcycles. It was a day I vividly remember. Five years later, I went to work for the estate when it opened the mansion. Once again, I could not believe how many people from all over the world came to the mansion. I do not think you can overstate the impact of Elvis.
Wow Da’ Coach that’s awesome. It’s an honor having you in the comments💜
@@ShawnandMel4Life I like your reaction vids. You two are fun. Side story: When I worked at Graceland, James Brown came and toured. I love James Brown! It was GREAT. He was such a nice guy too, a total gentleman, so down to earth. He was one of the few celebs at Elvis's funeral. Keep reacting! Going to see your Sam Cooke now.
So sad. I still Love a miss this beautiful man. Love his music his movies. Rip Elvis in Heaven. We still ❤a miss you.
My Grandmother introduced me to Elvis music 45 yrs ago so not only does his music bring me joy but the memories of my Grandmother and me watching him on TV also are so meaningful to me so Thanks for sharing his music The king of Rock N Roll will never Die
Wow Francisco/ Alvarado thank you so much for sharing your memories 💜😀
Elvis presley was the greatest emotional a Gosple singer that ever lived in this world. Nobody will ever touch what Elvis presley had. I believe he's resting now w God a he's finally Happy.
The most flowers ever ordered in one day was on August 16th 1977. 👑!!
I was 25 years old n working in a Burn unit in Anchorage, Alaska. When I got home I cried for hours.He was part of my life since 1956. I saw the funeral on TV n they had 20 white Cadillac's as that was Elvis favorite car. All flights going to Memphis were booked within hours of news. I still listen to his music almost everyday n his Gospel songs on every Sunday.
I was 14 years old and with my mom in a store.
The music stopped and someone announced Elvis Presley has
just died. The world stopped, it was unreal.
i was 13...took some chalk and wrote elvis died today on the wall...its still there
@@richardlawson6787 The wall at Graceland? I always wondered how those stayed
through the elements.
The day I heard Elvis had died I was 14 and can remember exacactly where I was, I grew up in Las Vegas and also remember all the lights on the strip going dark in his memory, it was really something to see literally every where you went in that town people were in shock and crying ~ Sin city looooved them some Elvis...♡
I was there and I will never forget it.I am 72 now and I love him still
We miss him. But he lives through the music the movies and the videos he left us. I am from Memphis and was fortunate to see him live in Memphis in 1974. No one compared to him. He was simply the best
I live on Maui and I was 14years old during the summer heading into my highschool years. I was spending my summer at a friends house when that announcement was made. I adored his talent and image even at that age. Who didn’t want to be Elvis all those rockin rollers fashioned themselves after him. I always thought how can one person possesses talent, good looks, charm, charisma, kindness, humility and Christ like attributes. JUST WOW! I’m a singer and he was one that influenced me greatly in my love of music no matter what kind it is and I enjoy like him sing many different genres.
All LOVE TO KING OF ROCK!
I always thought Elvis was great, when Elvis was alive I was 12 years old and everyone around me always told me how great he could sing, but what impressed me back then was that everyone always emphasized what a nice guy he was...but i was never a real fan... I'm a fan of James Brown... but when I read what James Brown said about Elvis I shed a tear... ................"I wasn't just a fan, I was his brother. He told me I was good and I told him he was good; that was never a problem between us. Elvis was hardworking, dedicated and "God loved him. The last time
I saw him in Graceland. We sang Old Blind Barnabus, a gospel song, together. I love him and hope to see him again in heaven. There will never be another soul brother like him.
-James Brown

Hey guys, I was Seventeen years old when Mr Elvis Presley was called home. I will NEVER! Forget the day the music and the entire world stopped.
His spirit and his songs will live forever. I mean this man was bigger than life.
I’ll never forget what I was doing. I was outside hanging out and decided to go home to get something to eat and when I walked in the door, My mother was sitting on couch crying her eyes out. That’s when I looked at the television and the only words I could utter were oh my God!
It was a sad sad day for the World and America had lost its greatest entertainer the country has ever known. Still sad to watch all these years later. Bridge over troubled water from Las Vegas.
When my MOM was diagnosed with cancer of the lungs, she started planning her funeral. That was my MOM! It was going to be her way lol The music was Elvis! Her favorite hymn was “How Great Thou Art” she always said no one did it better than Elvis. Miss you Momma!
You know how you will always remember where you were during a particularly powerful Moment In Time?
I can remember the minute we heard that Elvis died like it happened five minutes ago.
I walked into the house with all of my books, (covered in grocery bag book covers and bound up with a book strap) and heard both of my parents crying through the window.
They weren't wailing but it was obvious something terrible had happened. The loss of Elvis shook the entire world.
Elvis's best music, in my opinion is his gospel music.
You know, Elvis never saw himself as the king of rock and roll. He often lamented that his one personal dream in life would never happen. He wanted to simply be the bass singer in a Gospel quartet.
You can still find the clip here on UA-cam where Elvis stopped his Las Vegas show right in the middle of a song because a group of women held up signs that spelled out Elvis, the king!
He said no, I am not the King. Jesus Christ is King!
Elvis was a superstar Yet remained humble and true to his roots.
I was 9 years old and of course hadn't heard any news. I remember my Mom coming home from work crying totally devastated. I remember never seeing her so upset to that point in my young life. I knew of him thru my Mother but never knew the love she had truly till that moment. Thankfully she is still with me but if something happens I have every Elvis song I hear to instantly think of her. THANK YOU ELVIS.
Hey David thank you so much for sharing your memories💜💜
@@ShawnandMel4Life Try Elvis Rags to Riches not played a lot GREAT VOCALS.
Elvis came into my life when I thought I lost it all...Thanks King for saving my life...
Elvis will always be remembered. I remember what I was doing when the news came across the tv. He is a big part of my live . I love him, and he will never be forgotten. Thank you for keeping his memory alive!
Earth's loss is now Heavens Gain. God welcome Elvis home.
I was 5 when Elvis died. I remember a lot of tears when we heard the news on the radio, including mine. I was a fan back then, as I still am now.
Hey BK Durio thank you so much for sharing your story💜😀
It's really amazing at how big he still is worldwide 42 years later. Outside of Dr. King and JFK, I can't think of a more important figure who has been gone as long as Elvis has and remained relevant. His home Graceland in Memphis is the most visited home in America yearly with over 600,000 visitors per year. He is buried there along with his mom, dad and grandmother. Across the street there's a massive 200,000 square foot museum complex showcasing his enormous story and career, all of his stage costumes, cars, planes, plus a 450-room five star resort hotel called The Guesthouse At Graceland and a 2,000-seat concert venue which is drawing big name entertainment. It's literally a musical Disneyland without the rides.
@JD Ronin Elvis doesn't have a national holiday in his honor. Martin LUTHER King Jr does. I rest my case. Don't be such an ass.
@JD Ronin bro, it's just Elvis, chiiiiiiiillll!! Opinions are always subjective, we're all fans here no need for all the ra ra!
I was 6yrs old when Elvis passed away the same yr my late grand father had passed i was to young to understand but now at 50 it brings tears to my eyes for Elvis and my goes out to his daughter RIP Elvis and RIP GrandDad!
God bless you both. Yes Elvis will never be forgotten. I will listen to Elvis til my last breath.
Over 80,000 people along the street by the end of the day.
Most floral arrangements bought in a single day .
I was 15 years old when Elvis died. Yes, I am old lol I remember thinking it wasn't real. My mom came into my room and told me and I didnt believe her. I turned on the television and watched the news and cried and cried. I had loved him since the first time I heard his voice. I was so young but he made me happy. My brothers used to tease me about how I had to buy every album, all his posters, and watch every movie. When he was on tv, mom would make everyone in our house watch him because she knew I had to watch it was my tv when Elvis was on, and in my eyes there was no other singer or entertainer in the world. It was a sad day for so many people. Not just because we lost a great talent, but because the world seem to have lost a shining light. Thank you for your Elvis takeover. It makes my heart happy again! 💕
Carla Delk I am in the same position as you. I too was 15 when Elvis died and my Mum also came into my bedroom to tell me the news. I stayed in my bed for over a week and cried and cried. I truly believed that I would cry for the rest of my life 💔💔
@@kerrypapworth1526 seems we are kindred spirits. I honestly didnt feel that pain till years later when I experienced the loss of a close family member. He was such a big part of my childhood that he was family. His music helped me through my sad and my happy times. Thank you for sharing your story with me. Be happy, stay safe and thanks again.💕
Carla Delk oh no thank you for sharing your story, wishing you and your family all the best 💕💕
@@kerrypapworth1526 same to you💕
I also was 15. I used to go stay the summers with my brother and sister in law. She and I were home and heard it on the news! My very first album was Elvis golden hits, I got it when I was about 8 and when I was 10, I got a guitar for Christmas. I wanted to play because of Elvis. Yes, I have the album the guitar and everything Elvis still.(other albums, movies etc.) Was a sad day. We cried with the rest of the world. I had not known anyone before that time that died so young. Elvis music touched lives like no other entertainer in my opinion. I love all Elvis music. Now that I am old I love the Gospel the best. When he sang you heard the best voice. He was a storyteller through song! His Gospel songs tells the story of Jesus with such spirit and power! He believed in Jesus! Hope to hear him singing in heaven! ♥️Elvis♥️
In April NASA announced that they discovered that the vibrations of 2 black holes were in synch with the opening of Elvis's can't help falling in love. So see he sings to us from space. Look it up it's true. His death was the first time a celebrity death was the lead story. Yes the whole world stopped. It was like the earth had shifted off it's axis. How could it be? How could Elvis be gone? So young so beautiful. Such talent. A loss I still feel to this day. Not looking forward to finally having to tell my 4 yr old granddaughter she can't marry him because he passed away. Right now and since she was 13 months old she has loved Elvis and I'm going to let her have the fantasy as long as I can
Wow JOANNE thank you so much for that information. That’s so beautiful 💜😀
Don't forget about the 'wow' signal late on August 15th from the space observatories in Ohio. They still haven't figured that one out. There are specific moments in history when the world came to a halt....JFK's death, MLK's death, & Elvis' death. It's not like that anymore...that tells you something....these special people at this magnitude don't exist anymore. It's all a 'wash' now. Anyways, since you reacted to the hardest part which was his funeral, don't forget that he was still going right to the very end, delivering no matter what. *forget what you may have heard or read about his final years...he was still Elvis & should be respected & appreciated.* PEACE!
@@Phoenix7878 you said a mouth full. Respect
@@Phoenix7878 could you link me the signal you are speaking about so I can read about it. Sounds fascinating
@@joannedungan8381 Hi...just google the 'wow' signal, you'll find it. It happened hours before his death
While Elvis was alive it just seemed like everything was going
to be ok with the world. I know that
may sound strange to
people but he had a way about him that
made his fans feel his
love for them. Elvis
and his fans had a life-long love affair.
The same day Elvis
died my husband
was in the hospital.
I was in my husbands
hospital room and the
doctor just told us that he was terminal.
After my husband fell asleep I walked down to the river ...sat on the grass and wanted
to end my life. I didn't
know if I could go on
anymore without my husband and Elvis. Eventually
I realized my husband
needed me and I wanted to take care
of him. But for decades after Elvis
death I could not
listen to his music
or see his picture.
The grief I felt was
overwhelming so I
had to distance myself .I only just
started listening to
Elvis again about a
year ago. I can still
cry very easily when
he sings or I see
his pictures but I
missed him and his
music so much I
wanted to try to listen
and I am so glad I did.
Welcome to the
wonderful world of
Elvis music....thank you for taking this journey and for helping to keep his
memory alive....🌻
Wow. Thats incredible. I cannot imagine the heartbreak you felt. Devastating.
You are blessed, a gift for us, Elvis is eternal.
❤️❤️❤️
welcome back -so sad. just avoid listening to the heart breaker 'Softly As I Leave You' if that gives me the goose bumps after hearing it countless times.....
I’ve heard it said that his greatest fear was being forgotten. Never gonna happen. He died in August. The heat,humidity, crowd and overwhelming shock and grief were horrible. I cried all night the day he died. My heart still grieves.
Hey Suzanne we will never forget Elvis 💜😀
I have requested this song to be played at my funeral! I love Elvis!!❤ He was the greatest Entertainer there ever was.
When I was 3 in 1955, my Dad worked where he had a show and Elvis picked me up and kissed my cheek. I loved him since that day on. When I heard the tragic news, I and the world was devastated. Yes people fainted laying on the streets everywhere. We couldn’t believe HE was gone, how is this possible? He just got too tired of mending all our broken hearts, caring too much. There had to be more broken hearts that day in the history of the world. His best friend, Jerry Schilling, just said on this past Friday that we should all be listening to his “If I had a dream” it should be playing now as an inspiration for us all!!! If you are depressed, listen to “ Are you lonesome tonight” funny version here on UA-cam. It’s great. Love to all, love each other.
Hey Jan thank you so much for sharing your memories 💜
I remember where I was .what time it was .as a fan I had a broken heart.we loved him so .and . Still do .
I remember where I was the news reader was in shock saying I hope its not true Elvis fan since 1964
I was getting ready to go swimming with my sister and friends it came over the radio
Wow , I remember also . 28th & Messanie in St. Joseph Mo , traveling south on 28th , in a 66 Galaxie 500 . News came over the radio just as I entered the intersection . Had to pull over . Still don’t seem real . There will never be another !
One of the Most missed human beings that ever lived! Long live the KING 👑👍
Love this track
It was a massive shock to the world I remember it being all over the news in the newspapers the King is dead I was 14 at that time it made me feel numb it made me cry just so young but just look at the legacy he left behind it's been over 42 years since we lost him yet he's still loved so much by the old generation and the new fans he makes each and every day nobody has ever had that much appeal to the masses nor will there ever be anyone who comes close he had it all thank you for that heartbreaking moment in time when we said our goodbyes to Elvis stay safe 😷✌
Even today it’s sad too watch and remember how a GREAT MAN is GONE. It touches the heart. ❤️❤️😢
Hey Irene, thank God Elvis left such a legacy that will last forever 💜😀
Thank you both for showing this video!! I'm 63 and have been a fan of Elvis's, not only his singing but as a great humanitarian, with all the $$ he made he died with only 5 million but that's because of all the houses and cars he bought not only for his family & friends but for people he didn't even know. If only people stop talking about the reason he died but think of his kindness and love for people. Thank you again!!
I love y’all’s set. I was 15 and had just seen Elvis in concert in June- it was a sad time. We sent Flowers and several months later his Dad sent a Thank You note.
Wow BAMACOCO thank you for sharing your memories 💜😀
Wow! a thank you note from vernon. Dose your family still have the note? I remember seeing Elviss last concert on TV. And after the concert vernon came on very devistated and said we have received your flowers and cards and we will get around to answering the majority of them. Its nice to know they actually did.
@@charlottegordon6400 It was great they received the flowers, cards and letters Charlotte yes, but (and forgive me if it's written somewhere else on here) what Vernon meant was the TV concert was from Elvis last 'tour.' His last 'concert' was actually 5 nights after the last filming for the TV concert, on June 26th 1977 in Indianapolis. 😀
I was going into my second year in high school and my uncle Ed came home from being in the service he called my house and told me to pack my clothes and fishing equipment for a two week fishing trip down to Southern Missouri. Are plan was to fish for 10 days and after that head over to Tennessee and go to Graceland. We were both huge Elvis fans , we both had black hair and side burns . My uncle when he was young used to dress up like Elvis. He could pass for his brother. I guess that's where I got it from. I remember we were driving down highway 55 listing to the radio and catching up with each other. I hadn't seen him from three years we were having a blast.All of the sudden the dj on the radio announced that Elvis had passed away, we were both shocked and silent. I looked over at my uncle and seen tears running down his face. My uncle was a tough man and I never seen him cry before and that made me drop a few tears too , are favorite singer had just died.We pulled off the highway to a gas station to ask if anyone else had heard the same thing. We walked into the station and everyone was watching the television that they had in there and were all crying and upset. We were already in southern Missouri close to the lake and resort the whole town was in shock. As much as we wanted to go to Memphis we just stayed at the lake because we figured it would be over crowded with fans.
That was one day I'll never forget.
I was on Germany with my husband who was stationed in Frankfurt. It wasn't on the news but he came home the next day and had something behind his back. He asked me, " Guess who died yesterday?" I didn't know so he showed me a newspaper. Elvis's death was on the front page of The Stars and Stripes. I burst into tears and ran into the bedroom. It was on the news that night. A day later.
I remember the whole world grieved when ELVIS died, and seeing this now made my heart heavy.,all over again I was a senior in high school when he started singing. He was the greatest.
Wow Mary, thank you so much for sharing you memories with us. I know the death of Elvis very hard for everyone.
Yall ain't freaking playin!!!! I love Elvis. So glad yall got old souls. Love the heck out of mines💜😘😘😘😘😘😘😘💜💜💜

I was 15 at that time and absolutely loved Elvis! I still remember that day and the day they announced his death on tv. I fell in love with him because my mother loved him and that’s all she listened to even when she carried me but I could not change my love for Elvis if I tried. It’s such a beautiful thing that the younger generation can see what we saw back then. Thank you for keeping Elvis alive.
I was 12 when he died ,and I know him that day!! He smelt My heart Until today! Thanks from Argentina!!♥️Elvis forever 👑
Really Great reaction. I was 9 when he passed and even then I knew his impact on society. For 2 days all the women in our neighborhood met outside and cried sitting on the curbs. Elvis was a great Human being that billions of people loved and he loved back 💞
His legacy will live forever...Elvis Presley, forever in our hearts,We love e miss you E,as you can see from Heaven,your still making new memories with everyone
Shawn and Mel the two of you really showed real sadness reacting to the passing of a legend......Elvis has left the building! RIP
Hello Ed Chan, Elvis’s death effected the world. Thank you so much for watching 💜😀
Rip To The King Of Rock n Roll Elvis Presley, We Still Miss You Always
Watch 'Don't Cry Daddy' With His Daughter Lisa Marie,Just Beautiful❤❤
Also, "You'll Never Walk Alone". I think she did an album not long ago of her singing some of his gospel songs "with him". 😎 Oops! That's, "WHERE NO ONE STANDS ALONE"!
The day Elvis passed and it was on the radio, in San Antonio Texas traffic stopped and women left their cars and cried on each other’s shoulders. The most surreal event that has made a memory I will never forget. He left us to young. He will never be forgotten.
It's so true that everyone remembers where they were. I worked at the Federal Court in Los Angeles, and got the news at work. I left work early, and remember waiting for the bus in a sundress (the temperature was hot) while the rain poured down unexpectedly. California had been in a many-year drought, but that day a tropical rainstorm named Doreen hit L.A., and the skies wept for the first time in years. That day. August 16, 1977.
Hey Kathleen thank you so much for sharing your memories 💜😀
This was the day the world stood still.
I remember when he passed. They even had to interrupt the television show with a special News report. They had it on until wee hour’s into the night. I was 16 watching TV with my grandma. I was devastated.
I was about 8yrs old when Elvis exploded into the lives of the American people, not everybody was happy I'll tell you that, but talent and goodness will out. I was about 23 when he died and I remember exactly where I was and what a shock it was, so sad. He was a generous, kind, loved his fans and, oh yeah, sexy. He did like the ladies too and they sure liked him. One things for sure I don't think he will ever be forgotten as long as folks keep watching and listening. I love all these reaction videos, makes me very nostalgic though, brings back many memories. Guess I'll close out this book...take care.
All of his gospel songs were fantastic Play song It's Hard Out on the gospel songs everyone that he done like crying in the chapel how great there are You'll Never Walk Alone fly goes on and on
Elvis could sing every thing,gospel,rock,country he was one of a kind!
Yes, all of us of age exactly what we were doing when we heard the news on his death day --just as much as we remember the assassinations of JFK, DMLK and Robert Kennedy. I remember Japanese news broadcasters breaking down live on the air announcing his death.
Wow Tim that was such a tragic moment for the world
I want to mention that day, I will never forget. I remember the news showing so many countries around the world in Japan, in Germany, in Italy, in South America, many countries in South America, Sweden, Switzerland, France England, you name it, they were out in the streets by the thousands all over the world. I don't know if there has been anyone ever to have such pouring out of emotions than this man had. It was a sight for sure. He love God and he loved people and I think people of all ages knew that. He came from poverty and God made him a king, of course he never liked the title King. I remember in one video he was talkin with the Sweet Inspirations, his backup singers, he said to them there's only one king, and that is Jesus Christ. I think God blessed him, because he never denied his faith, ever. Hope I didn't bore you.
I remember that day, the whole world was shocked and sad for long... All we had was back and white movies and Elvis Presley.
I remember I was 9 years old. My parents were HUGE FANS and they cried so bad...it took my mom months to get over him. They seen him in concert.
I was 14yrs. old. I was in my bedroom and heard it on the radio. I ran out of my room to tell my mom. She was a HUGE fan. We both cried for so long. My parents were born the same year as Elvis Presley. I would love you to react to Elvis singing the song Fever from the Hawaiian special in 1973.
Wow Kimberly thank you so much for sharing your experience with us💜😀
I was born August 16, 1977. The same day when Elvis Presley passed away. As a child I asked my mom “ mommy, when I was born how did you feel?”. She said “sad” and I asked her “why?”. She said “because I heard in the radio that Elvis Presley died”. ... I was so mad I told her fuck that guy! But, as I got older my late grandma always played Gospel music, every morning. And it was always Elvis Presley gospel music. I’m so thankful and grateful that these UA-cam videos of Elvis Presley’s performance are preserved. And now I understand why my mom was sad on the day I was born. R.I.P king
It was a shock to the system for all fans. It is still sad, and the whole world felt the wave of grief.
Hey d abdella thank you so much for your comment💜
The world did stop... I live in South Africa and it affected us all. It was on the news for days and we were all so sad. 😢😢 miss you EP. 🇿🇦
I got shipped off to my grandparents home for a week at 4yrs old after E passed. My mom was devastated. I grew up on E (my mom) and motown(my pops) they taught me well! ✌
Long live the 👑of music ❤ 💯💪👌💋🙏 amen ☝👍🎤🎸🎶🎼🇵🇷⭐💎⚡ TCBTLC ⚡ thanks so much for sharing god bless you and your family,
I was 6, my mom was 26, I’ll never forget the look in her eyes when she heard the news. It was like she’d lost someone really close to her. And it’s all anyone was talking about. Huge moment in history, huge and sad. Btw you guys are awesome!
I was almost 3, my sister was 9, she can tell you exactly where she was. I was too young. But I grew up listening to him.
I was in 7th grade. Even that young I felt such grief. Such a great soul. and a great loss to the world. I imagine what it would have been like if he had lived. What we were robbed of when he passed. Tragic
Elvis was the first big star that my brothers & sisters & Me knew, he was of another era than the music normally played in our house. My oldest brother was the biggest fan that we knew & when Elvis died the world stopped spinning. When JFK, Sam Cooke, Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy died the world was shocked & so sad THEN The King died and like I said the world stopped spinning and there is still numbness & shock to this day, I still shed tears when I listen to Elvis & then I smile because of the gifts Elvis gave the world 💜❤️🩹😻🇨🇦 Thanks Shawn & Mel for sharing this sad time & for loving Elvis 🤩
Long live "THE KING" 43 years after his all to soon passing, nobody past or present comes close to Elvis Presley.....
