Today, it’s exactly 47 years since this amazing artist left us. What a unique voice. He could transition from a soft lower baritone vocal range up to a gritty tenor vocal in seconds, & he does it so smoothly …. & it’s a hard thing to do, with the majority of singers who attempt it, have a broken vocal sound in doing so. Elvis has always made the difficult things look so easy, because for him they are effortless. He was voted to be The Best Entertainer of the 20th Century, & that is a well deserved title. He is in five Halls of Fame. And he was a Humanitarian. Elvis was a very special man & we were blessed to have him, even though it was only for 23 years, but what a 23 years they were! He packed so much into that somewhat brief career, & he is still so greatly loved & missed.
I'm a 55 year old man from England and a life long elvis fan and elvis is still as big in England as in America infact he has more no1 hit singles in England than America and more than any other solo artist and he's no 3 currently in most albums in England
So many younger people can’t fathom that long before they were born, there was the greatest singer performer of all time. Elvis excelled singing all genres of music and he was a natural actor and dancer.
Elvis was beautiful and it can’t be denied. His smile, that profile, his soulful sound was better than anyone. Just enough without screaming 😱 Michael Jackson was married to Lisa Marie Presley
Elvis is very interesting.He can do any song you throw at him.Hes the type too he can forget a word and get away with it.Charisma isn’t the word.Watch some UA-cam videos where men talk about Elvis.They say I’ve never said a man looked good but Elvis was the prettiest man ever.I had concert tickets to see him in Utica Ny in 1977.But obviously he ended up passing away.RIP to the G.O.A.T
The man you asked “who is that” with the black guitar is Charlie Hodge. A friend of Elvis’ who was a gospel singer and had met Elvis when he was starting out. They met up again in the Army and Elvis wanted Charlie to sing with him. He was in the band for every show until Elvis died. The rest of the musicians were Elvis band from his beginning early days, before he was drafted into the Army in 1958.
Elvis was is and always will be the best! You said look at his confidence, and actuality he was a nervous wreck and did not want to go on stage. He was always nervous to go on stage. But to hear him look at him watch him you would never know it.
Elvis was so much better than non-Elvis fans will ever know. His talent was exceptional. He was dirt poor and lived in an era without TV. He didn`t even have a record player. All most people had was a radio. In this day and age, young people can watch and listen to great artists repeatedly, study them, and learn from them. In Elvis`s time, people had very, very limited access to study celebrities and their skills. Back then, most of the famous artists were "Wunderkinder". To come from a poor background and have such a sophisticated style of clothing as he had from the very start is simply magnificent. When he was in the army and visited Paris, he was dressed and looked like someone who grew up in a rich family. For me, he will always be the GOAT! Thank you for your great reaction :)
I was 10 in 1968, saw Elvis live twice - amazing chills every time! He reaches in and touches your heart with his gorgeous voice and masculine persona. He did have it all, you could not take your eyes off him! Great review, thank you for sharing Elvis! ❤
Always a pleasure to watch your reactions! Thanks to Jamie for this amazing video! The guy you asked for was Charlie Hodge ( musician), maybe Elvis' best friend. They met in the army 1958 and never lost contakt. When Elvis' mother died during that time, Elvis was devastated. Charlie always tried to cheer him up with his great humour and Elvis appreciated that.
Wow, Anthony, another great Elvis reaction! You're absolutely right, this guy had so much talent and so much charisma, he was incredible. I've watched this '68 Comeback Special a lot and there are some great songs and great performances there from the man himself! 😊😊
There was something about Elvis that seemed somehow supernatural. Not in a woo-woo sense, but it had to do with the fact that he radiated (that's the most accurately descriptive term I can think of) a charismatic essence that was so strong it was practically palpable. I felt it when I was 12 years old. Something about him just reached out and grabbed me on some inner level and never let go. (By the way, I like your vibe. I sub'd.)
I was 10 years old when I watched this special. My mother and I were captivated. 8/16 is the anniversary of Elvis’ death . Elvis week in Memphis is in full force. About to watch the candle light vigil broadcast from Graceland. TCB ⚡️
Elvis was truly amazing. His voice and smouldering gorgeous looks combined with his charisma, animal magnetism and vulnerability were unbelievable. Hello from Australia. 💕🇦🇺
His body of work is absolutely amazing for the short 20 years of his career; the complete Elvis package and how well he can sing multiple genres will never ever be equalled in music for as long as man walks on this planet.
1954--- 1977-‐ ALOT OF WORK.... THE AMOUNT OF WHAT HE DID IN THAT TIME WAS A TRIPPLE HARD THAN WHAT THEY DO TODAY.. SO EASIER TODAY FOR THEM TO RACK LOTS FAST $$$$$$ .HAVE TO APPRECIATE TIME. ✨️✨️✨️✨️
I discovered Elvis when I was 13, a couple of years before he passed, and I've been a fan ever since. I love me some Elvis. And you're right; it's never too late to discover a new-to-you legend. Mike Handley, Emmy Award-winning TV/radio spokesman and film narrator, said: "When healthy and serious, he was flat-out the world's greatest singer. In his voice, he possessed the most beautiful musical instrument, and the genius to play that instrument perfectly; he could jump from octave to countless other octaves with such agility without voice crack, simultaneously sing a duet with his own overtones, rein in an always-lurking atomic explosion to so effortlessly fondle, and release, the most delicate chimes of pathos. "Yet, those who haven't been open (or had the chance) to explore some of Presley's most brilliant work - the almost esoteric ballads and semi-classical recordings - have cheated themselves out of one of the most beautiful gifts to fall out of the sky in a lifetime. "Fortunately, this magnificent musical instrument reached its perfection around 1960, the same time the recording industry finally achieved sound reproduction rivaling that of today. So, it's never too late to explore and cherish a well-preserved miracle, as a simple trip to the record store will truly produce unparalleled chills and thrills, for the rest of your life; and then you'll finally understand the best reason this guy never goes away."
Great song and performance yet again by hot Elvis. He knew how to work it for sure. Thanks Anthony for posting and reacting to this one. Your comments are spot on (again)
He had so much more power. Worth discovering everything Elvis...Still the greatest of all time.. Great reaction, joined for more Elvis reaction...Elvis 68 looks so amazing ,that although I'm 100% hetero sexual..this guy was the most handsome creature that ever walked the earth. When you take Elvis from 68, and put him in 2024, he still would still jump out.
There is nothing he couldn’t do. I first heard him in 1963 when I was 7. Then I made my mission to get every record he made. Finally got to see him 4 times. A couple of times in 1970 and a couple of times in 1972. I still have all of my records. My playlist just keeps getting bigger and bigger on my iPhone with his music.
I was only 8 years old when this concert took place. THIS is my favorite Elvis. He went back to his roots here and that was the Elvis I fell in love with. To me, he looked his best here. That perfect profile & his smouldering eyes...my Lord! I had him plastered on my bedroom wall as a teenager and I remember exactly where I was the day he died. He was my mom's era but it was me who's heart he captured. My mom was into country music. I always gravitated to all the greats in any era & any genre. Elvis appealed to me because his roots were in blues & gospel and you can see that in this 68 Comeback concert. Must listen to Lawdy Miss Clawdy from this concert & you'll see what I mean. No one comes close to this man's God given charisma!
I was born in 56, my first record was a 45 of Hound dog I love Elvis ❤️. By the way one of Angelina Jordan's idols, put that Elvis and Angelina jordan when she did suspicious minds side by side, she looks like the female version of him. It's not just me others have expressed that too. Thanks brudda for this reaction
I adore Elvis.. I was only 17 when he passed and it just broke my heart.. I have probably come close to hearing all his music, I love that there are so many video's to watch.. music, interviews, documentaries, movies... just a wealth of entertainment and information. If you havent yet, please check out his gospel music.. its so powerful and full of emotion.. a lot of his life performances show so much of his personality, he had a wonderful sense of humor and his love for his fans shone through brightly.
Tomorrow is the anniversary of Elvis's death. (Aug 16,1977) He is greatly missed. WE❤U ELVIS. Thank you for this reaction. I'll suggest 2 songs performed in Las Vegas 1970: Just Pretend Bridge Over Troubled Water
And there it is. You just made my day. Now here comes the baffling question. Lets see if you can answer it. Tell me Prozak63. A few black artists that met Elvis. Do they speak of their own individual experiences, or, do they speak for the black community? You can start your reply with the insults towards me if you like, I did 2 years in Vietnam 69-71, the most dangerous time, so your insults towards me are like water off a ducks back, one day when you grow up and they will stop and learn to attack the issue and not the person, perhaps that is a trait you should teach your children if you have any that is.
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 I always wonder why you are so bitter in your comments about that documentary/video. It is just the title of it 😂😂 Obviously it contains only testimonies of black people who knew Elvis and had relationship with him . For so many years silly people spread the info that Elvis was a racist, without any reason. That video shows the opposite. You have to complain to who chose the title, not to the people who suggest to watch it 😒
@@elvis78ale Firstly thank you for trolling both me and my comments. Now, lets get down to business. Black artists did NOT! have relationships with Elvis, they only met him a few times. Between 1954 and 1968 no black artist took the stage with Elvis. So here is your chance to offer up the Astrodome incident. Tread carefully if you want to go down that path. Who are these people that said Elvis was a racist? Name them. I have discussed it with the makers of the video. When I brought it to their attention. They disappeared. Just like so many Elvis fans when I challenge them. And I am guessing you will too. Tell me, why is it that when a black reactor reacts to Elvis, there will always be a mention to watch the said video, yet when it is a white reactor, this is never mentioned? What is it Elvis fans are trying to justify to the black people of today that the black people back then did not know?
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 the simple fact that you can't have a civil conversation makes me understand that it's not worth continuing. Nobody is "trolling" you. You always write the same comment under many videos, saying a simple obviousness.."the people in that video don't represent the whole black community". Really?? We are not stupid to believe the opposite. 🤦🏻♀️ Many black people MET or HAD relationships with Elvis...and when you meet a person you are able to judge how he is behaving towards you. It is not necessary to have "sung on stage" with Elvis. This is not the point. The rumor about him being a racist originated from an old newspaper that reported something never happened...that Elvis had said "The only thing Black people can do is buy my records and shine my shoes". A complete falsity. Quincy Jones was one of those who always stated that Elvis was a racist and many in the black community always grew up with this conviction, just because of this "gossip" that passed down along with the usual accusation of stealing black music. This is the reason why that documentary is useful, for white and black people...to dispel this myth, which for years has tarnished his memory unnecessarily. Elvis grew up in the mostly black neighbourhood of Tupelo, spent time with black people when he was young, loved black music and worked with many black artists. You can like him or not...but he deserves to be remembered as he really was. Have a nice day.
@@elvis78ale My conversations are civil. It is people like you that take offence because I have come along with information Elvis fans don't want the world to know. Well do the people in the video represent the black community or not? yes or no? Name 10 black artist that had a relationship with Elvis? All you have done is name one person that allegedly said Elvis was a racist. Name these black artists he worked with. This should be an interesting read. You want me to remember Elvis for being a drug abuser, a guy who had a platform to speak about racial equality and who was controlled? Elvis spent some time in the black areas, he did not grow up there. Would you like to discuss the time about what he did to a girl after the condom broke one night?
I've watched so many of these Elvis reaction videos and each time I do, I share that when I was 14 my parents took me to see Elvis in one of his very last concerts. Even then, he was spectacular. It's wholly impossible to adequately describe the feeling in that auditorium. As the opening music began to play, it felt as if the air was sucked out of that place, and he suddenly appeared on stage. And when he sang his last song, I knew we'd never see him again. Just two months later, he was gone. It's great to see and hear people reacting to his music and his incredible personality. Back when he was still with us, and even after, critics were very cruel about his style. In fact, they were convinced that he wasn't that good and that his vocal range wasn't impressive. Today, vocal coaches say exactly the opposite and recognize that his range was quite impressive.
Thanks for sharing this great Elvis reaction, especially with the video and now you can see Why the world is always going to be in Love with this beautiful Man, I was only 8 years old when this 68 comeback special came on TV and I was in praying that you would show the video as well as the Man who made it so magical and, you Are so right , No one can look this Beautiful in a Black Leather suit, ELVIS set the standard for what it means to be a true Charismatic, voice and the charm that he gives to every one in the world, it's just him , he is a Man of Honor and Character and Respect for everyone, too bad we rarely see this anymore, great reaction to Elvis and stay on the ELVIS journey TCB 1935
I enjoyed this so much. He was so talented. Soulful, unique and sang every genre. He’s in 4/5 Halls of Fame. You’re right. He was full of charisma. 😅🕺🏻🎸🕺🏻🎸 Did you know Elvis’s only daughter Lisa Marie was married to Michael Jackson. Sadly as I’m sure you saw in the news last yr she died suddenly from adhesions from surgery at age 54. ❤
He has the power to sing anything at all. Give him the song he'd singing it pitch perfect. He is a beautiful man, the smile, the cheekbones charisma, presence no girl/woman would have said no! That's why he's the King of rock & roll starting in 1954/1955. Yeah, the comeback was after his film contract ran out. Michael Jackson 😂
I'm a Heavy Metal dude born in '68 remembering the day the world stood still in 1977 . I was actually listening to Nothing but a Hound Dog when I was told of his passing. Wasn't a huge Elvis fan until the internet came along. That being said ELVIS will go down as the best of all time. Michael,Madonna,Garth,Metallica can all fight for#2 in my opinion.
Phenomenal!! ... Nobody sings better than Elvis! ... With his voice, his humor, his sexy looks, ... and above all his incredible charisma, he is immortal! ... A singer for eternity!! ✨💎✨🕺🏻🕯 Thank you
I will Subscribe to your Channel bro! ELVIS has a music catalog of over 800 recordings! Please more from this '68 Comeback Television Special... "Lawdy Lawdy Miss Clawdy" "Blue Christmas" "Trouble/Guitar Man" *And from 1970 Live in Vegas: "Bridge Over Troubled Water"; "In The Ghetto"; "Suspicious Minds" *SUBSCRIBED TO YOUR CHANNEL* THANK YOU! Watching you from a long ways away in the State of Minnesota USA. 👌👍😊
❤❤❤❤❤ There will never be another Elvis he was simply a true talent not to mention breathtaking gorgeous. He always gave his heart and soul to his fans.
Some called this his comeback. He had served in the army in Germany then came home. So he hadn’t performed for maybe a few years. They set up this small stage with a few girls for an intimate setting to reintroduce him to his fans. He was so young.😊
I’m 58 & know a lot of musicians & for me the most electrifying stage presence along with perfect vocals are Elvis, Michael Jackson & Freddy Mercury! Nobody touches them! 🥰🥰🥰
He oozed sex appeal and charisma from every pore of his body. Elvis was on fire here.The man was a phenomenon
Whew!! 😍😛
Today, it’s exactly 47 years since this amazing artist left us. What a unique voice. He could transition from a soft lower baritone vocal range up to a gritty tenor vocal in seconds, & he does it so smoothly …. & it’s a hard thing to do, with the majority of singers who attempt it, have a broken vocal sound in doing so. Elvis has always made the difficult things look so easy, because for him they are effortless. He was voted to be The Best Entertainer of the 20th Century, & that is a well deserved title. He is in five Halls of Fame. And he was a Humanitarian. Elvis was a very special man & we were blessed to have him, even though it was only for 23 years, but what a 23 years they were! He packed so much into that somewhat brief career, & he is still so greatly loved & missed.
You said it perfectly 😊
Ditto!
After his funeral,when I caught the bus to school, EVERYONE was crying. Even the bus driver. I was in ninth grade 😢
they call him the king for a reason
I'm a 55 year old man from England and a life long elvis fan and elvis is still as big in England as in America infact he has more no1 hit singles in England than America and more than any other solo artist and he's no 3 currently in most albums in England
Verything about that sexy man. Heaven sent voice & talent
No auto-tune here like the BS today. Elvis is the GOAT.
Elvis is the best! He had it ALL! The GOAT
So many younger people can’t fathom that long before they were born, there was the greatest singer performer of all time. Elvis excelled singing all genres of music and he was a natural actor and dancer.
Elvis was beautiful and it can’t be denied. His smile, that profile, his soulful sound was better than anyone. Just enough without screaming 😱 Michael Jackson was married to Lisa Marie Presley
Elvis is very interesting.He can do any song you throw at him.Hes the type too he can forget a word and get away with it.Charisma isn’t the word.Watch some UA-cam videos where men talk about Elvis.They say I’ve never said a man looked good but Elvis was the prettiest man ever.I had concert tickets to see him in Utica Ny in 1977.But obviously he ended up passing away.RIP to the G.O.A.T

His talent was exceptional. He was dirt poor and lived in an era without TV. He didn`t even have a record player. All most people had was a radio. In this day and age, young people can watch and listen to great artists repeatedly, study them, and learn from them.
In Elvis`s time, people had very, very limited access to study celebrities and their skills.
Back then, most of the famous artists were "Wunderkinder".
To come from a poor background and have such a sophisticated style of clothing as he had from the very start is simply magnificent. When he was in the army and visited Paris, he was dressed and looked like someone who grew up in a rich family.
For me, he will always be the GOAT!
Thank you for your great reaction :)
Nobody better. An absolute natural. The dude invented swag.
Elvis had a super vocal range and a powerful voice.
I was 10 in 1968, saw Elvis live twice - amazing chills every time! He reaches in and touches your heart with his gorgeous voice and masculine persona. He did have it all, you could not take your eyes off him! Great review, thank you for sharing Elvis! ❤
I was 7 but I got to see him twice in '72 myself. Mom says I was in love with Elvis from the womb because she was a huge fan too. 😂
And pure beauty, fine. wow! everyone loves Elvis, male and female. Thank you for loving our music, now it is all yours too. Peace.
Always a pleasure to watch your reactions!

“Unique Perfection” in every way possible. Just love this man!
❤the King❤
The best ever !!! THE GOAT! Nobody can come close to him till this day 🔥⚡️
Elvis had a twin brother, Jesse, who died at birth and he used to say that was why he had so much energy ... he had energy for both of them!
Great song and performance yet again by hot Elvis. He knew how to work it for sure. Thanks Anthony for posting and reacting to this one. Your comments are spot on (again)
Love this …have this special on dvd …
This is Elvis for me!
So handsome, talented, and charming.
He had so much more power. Worth discovering everything Elvis...Still the greatest of all time.. Great reaction, joined for more Elvis reaction...Elvis 68 looks so amazing ,that although I'm 100% hetero sexual..this guy was the most handsome creature that ever walked the earth. When you take Elvis from 68, and put him in 2024, he still would still jump out.
Please more elvis love love your elvis reactions !😊❤
You must listen to when he gets the giggles. It's on this gig. Its phenomenal.
No auto-tune like the BS we have today. Thank you, Elvis.
This is real elvis why we love him
Great reaction to this. 🥂
24 years after this performance, I was born.
He just had such amazing attraction, you just get entranced watching him.
You are missing sooo much He was indeed SPECIAL!!

I'll suggest 2 songs performed in Las Vegas 1970:
Just Pretend
Bridge Over Troubled Water

Elvis spent some time in the black areas, he did not grow up there. Would you like to discuss the time about what he did to a girl after the condom broke one night?
Elvis is the very first OG ever!! Way back in 68 he had the women, the cars, the money, the jewelry! He had everything!
I've watched so many of these Elvis reaction videos and each time I do, I share that when I was 14 my parents took me to see Elvis in one of his very last concerts. Even then, he was spectacular. It's wholly impossible to adequately describe the feeling in that auditorium. As the opening music began to play, it felt as if the air was sucked out of that place, and he suddenly appeared on stage. And when he sang his last song, I knew we'd never see him again. Just two months later, he was gone. It's great to see and hear people reacting to his music and his incredible personality. Back when he was still with us, and even after, critics were very cruel about his style. In fact, they were convinced that he wasn't that good and that his vocal range wasn't impressive. Today, vocal coaches say exactly the opposite and recognize that his range was quite impressive.
Thanks for sharing this great Elvis reaction, especially with the video and now you can see Why the world is always going to be in Love with this beautiful Man, I was only 8 years old when this 68 comeback special came on TV and I was in praying that you would show the video as well as the Man who made it so magical and, you Are so right , No one can look this Beautiful in a Black Leather suit, ELVIS set the standard for what it means to be a true Charismatic, voice and the charm that he gives to every one in the world, it's just him , he is a Man of Honor and Character and Respect for everyone, too bad we rarely see this anymore, great reaction to Elvis and stay on the ELVIS journey

Elvis rarely unleashed his talents to this extent. Awesome in every way.
I enjoyed this so much. He was so talented. Soulful, unique and sang every genre. He’s in 4/5 Halls of Fame. You’re right. He was full of charisma. 😅🕺🏻🎸🕺🏻🎸 Did you know Elvis’s only daughter Lisa Marie was married to Michael Jackson. Sadly as I’m sure you saw in the news last yr she died suddenly from adhesions from surgery at age 54. ❤
He has the power to sing anything at all. Give him the song he'd singing it pitch perfect.
He is a beautiful man, the smile, the cheekbones charisma, presence no girl/woman would have said no! That's why he's the King of rock & roll starting in 1954/1955. Yeah, the comeback was after his film contract ran out.
Michael Jackson 😂
yep........mesmerizing
That smile...scrumptious.
My fave performance of his! dbl ♥
Thanks a lot for this reaction ❤ you can be wrong with Elvis. He was simply amazing 🤩
I'm a Heavy Metal dude born in '68 remembering the day the world stood still in 1977 . I was actually listening to Nothing but a Hound Dog when I was told of his passing. Wasn't a huge Elvis fan until the internet came along. That being said ELVIS will go down as the best of all time. Michael,Madonna,Garth,Metallica can all fight for#2 in my opinion.
You are absolutely right !
1 Word
Perfect, style, voice, more more more ❤❤❤
Best ever. Gr Amsterdam
Please more Elvis! A great performance is American Trilogy, Aloha from Hawaii 1970 ❤
Akso BTW FYI ... Michael Jackson married Elvis' only child; his daughter Lisa Marie Presley!
And speaking of Michael Jackson, you need to watch 'got a feeling in my body' Michael Jackson and Elvis
Exactly ! 💯😊
Phenomenal!! ... Nobody sings better than Elvis! ... With his voice, his humor, his sexy looks, ... and above all his incredible charisma, he is immortal! ... A singer for eternity!! ✨💎✨🕺🏻🕯 Thank you

Aloha from Hawaii has some gems for songs. How Great Thou Art will give you goosebumps and tears.
HE WAS DOWN TO EARTH AND NEVER IN HIS LIFE THOUGHT HE WAS ABOVE ANY INDIVIDUAL. HE GAVE AND GAVE TO THOSE LESS FORTUNATE

I loved his voice so much. My dad even collected all his albums and 45s.
I'm so glad I lived through the Elvis years. I was 13 when he made Heartbreak Hotel, loved him then, love hin now.
❤
My favorite!!
Just subbed, more Elvis please, he's amazing! Great reaction!
❤❤❤❤❤ There will never be another Elvis he was simply a true talent not to mention breathtaking gorgeous. He always gave his heart and soul to his fans.
Really starting to enjoy you're reaction channel,,,
Some called this his comeback. He had served in the army in Germany then came home. So he hadn’t performed for maybe a few years. They set up this small stage with a few girls for an intimate setting to reintroduce him to his fans. He was so young.😊
2 of my favorite songs Elvis sings is "Sweet Caroline" and "Make the World go Away". I'd be very happy if you would do a reaction to each one. Thanks🙂
Elvis's Daughter Lisa Marie Presley was Married to Michael Jackson at one time. ❤
his lips are the best in kissing , i know
Absolutely!!💋💋💖

I’m 58 & know a lot of musicians & for me the most electrifying stage presence along with perfect vocals are Elvis, Michael Jackson & Freddy Mercury! Nobody touches them! 🥰🥰🥰
Look at yourself , when you look at him😃👍. Nothing wrong with it, GBY ✝️🙏
He was the best ❤
He can drive you crazy even sitting down 😂 ❤
At some point during this concert you can hear a woman squeal,
