A lot of places refused to allow his female black singers enter the buildings but Elvis always told them he wouldn’t perform without his girls, he was ahead of his time and didn’t like negativity or hate. In the beginning of his career ppl thought he was black and was surprised to see he was white
Elvis, his band, and backup singers arrived at one of the venues to perform and they all started in the front door together when the owner stopped them and told his backup singers that they were to enter in the back and Elvis stopped in his tracks looked at the man and said if they don't come in here then I don't come in. Needless to say his backup singers entered through the front with their boss!!
Elvis understood human suffering and I think that was what made him really different. One of my favorite Elvis stories is Christmas Eve, he would go down to the local jail to talk to inmates and find out if their families/kids needed anything. His dad had been in jail when he was little so he understood what it was like for the kids to be without their dads and the stigma that came with it.
You hit the nail on the head, we do need somebody like Elvis now. I love about Elvis is he treated everyone the same. He never acted like he was better than anyone else. Blast If I Can Dream around the world.
I have to say one of the best reactions I have seen. You made me laugh, but everything you say about this amazing man is so true. We need more like him one of kind. Our Lord definitely broke the mould when he made Elvis.
I have watched this so many times and I love it. Every time each time is even more enjoyable than the last one. I thought already commented in on this, but I don’t see my comment so here it is. He was an amazing beautiful man who gave such great shows for his fans, and he cared so much about everyone, had a huge heart, and he was a great performer. He was amazing.
I watch a LOT of people listening to Elvis for the first time because I truly enjoy their reactions to what I've been experiencing since 1966 when I became an Elvis fan. I'm 62 now and love his sound just as much today as I did back then. I don't usually leave a comment, but this time I am compelled to because of one fact. YOU GET ELVIS ! You understand what so many reviewers don't. Elvis was raised in the poorest parts of town. He got his musical influence from black artists and gospel singers (his vocal backup was made up of two gospel groups; the Sweet Inspirations [the girls] and the Stamps Quartet [the guys] and J.D. Sumner is that booming bass you hear). Your reaction video is one of the best, if not THE best I've come across. Let me say it again: YOU GET ELVIS ! Thank you. Thank you very much.
Excellent commentary. The man was something else. It doesn't matter how he died. He can rest knowing he was kind and generous and lived life on his terms. He didn't have to tear down others to elevate himself. He stole from no one, downgraded no one.He was a unique individual on so many levels. Visually and vocally he was stunning and that came from what he was on the inside. Vicki
agree. from what I understand, Elvis always tried to uplift other entertainers, refused to talk badly about their craft, artistry. He seemed to always be so generous to all whom wanted to meet him (Elvis over anyone else), i.e. The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, the list was endless...seems anyone and everyone just wanted to 'meet elvis' and he'd oblige...inviting them to his home, on his plane...how weird it must have been for him. Funny story about Bruce Springstein clamouring to meet Elvis, nearly breaking into his house.
I laughed so hard with the reaction from this D.J. He does such a wonderful job expressing his comments on Elvis. I do know when Elvis played the Houston Dome in the 70's, he was told he "could leave his girls a home." ELVIS STATED, IF HIS GIRLS COULDN'T COME, HE WOULDN'T BE THERE. HE SAID TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT. THEY TOOK IT AND WHEN ELVIS ARRIVED FOR THE STAGE, HE BROUGHT ALL HIS GIRLS OUT IN A RED JEEP WITH HIM - NO TOP ON THE JEEP RIDING ALL AROUND THE DORM WAVING TO THE CROWDS. THIS WAS STATED BY MYRNA OF THE SWEET INSPIRATIONS.
Elvis was told in Texas I believe that he could not have the black backup singers on stage with him. He told them if they are not on stage then neither am I. The show went on with Elvis and his backup singers. BTW one of them was Whitney Houston's mom.
Pure talent. No one can come close to Elvis. Gone from us too soon. You are right about his smile, with its little crookedness and those cheekbones! What a good man he was. And then there’s his voice…💕and his heart and soul..💕
You are hilarious!! Thank you for loving Elvis so much. He truly deserves it. There will never be another one like him. True singer and entertainer. You don't learn what he did. It was a gift from God. God Bless you and your channel.
You made me laugh and cry with this one. He was amazing, he was one-of-a-kind and you're right, the mold was broke when he came into the world. Compassionate, extraordinarily talented, giving not only of himself, but every thing that he had to his fans and to those that he loved. He loved to have a good time on stage and had a great sense of humor. The emotion and energy that he put into every performance was unparalleled.
Listen to some of the Gospel it will show you more of his range and maturity in his voice as he got older. He also is the kindest hearted person that ive seen from entertainment There is a story about a black cleaning lady from the car dealership that was waiting for her husband to pick her from her job. Elvis had noticed her from earlier in the evening because he had to shop after hours. When he went back to pick up his car he saw her waiting in the rain and cold . Asked her why she was here still so late ...she told him her husband was coming but the car broke down ...Elvis gave her the new Cadillac he just bought. So she wouldn't have to worry about walking at night and or need a ride CLASS
Every time I come home from the nursing home from spending time with my husband all I have to do is watch this guy do Elvis and he makes me laugh and not feel so bad
You crack me up with that line “Relax!! You just got all of Vegas pregnant” Elvis the pelvis was a generous good human! His greatest joy was giving. I live in Memphis and I remember back in the 70’s when random people would be on the news saying that Elvis just bought them a car. What a shame that the money hustler’s worked him to death. So genuine this guy
"Elvis is black!" you screamed, and I laughed so hard!! The thing that his critics don't understand is that "black music" was, to Elvis, just music and came to him naturally because of all his early exposure to blues and gospel. I think you're right and that, at least in spirit, he WAS black!! Thank God!!
You can see how much fun he could have on stage, showing his humor and charisma and playfulness and even silliness. That's why you couldn't help but watch him.
That's exactly how Elvis was. He was the biggest and had a lot of influence, but he considered himself rich or poor like other people. That can also be seen in every show. he always steps back to give someone a moment. Like you said, in this day and age we need someone as big a heart as Elvis had. You worded it nicely.
Ray!!! You're killing me I'm 62 years old I get up every damn morning first thing I do is have my cup of coffee and a cigarette put my earbuds in start watching your show I have never laughed so hard in my life until I started watching you!!! You need to stop!!!! No no no just kidding lol lol lol you're the best!!! By the way my name is Ray!!! Too .. William Ray brown..love ya!!! Brother...... from the Appalachian mountains of Kentucky,
I bet your Elvis vids will get most views overall. His fans are next level and devoted. Maybe partly because he wasnt allowed to tour internationally beyond Canada, so fans had to go to his home turf. It's generational love that gets passed down, too, so if a relative loves him, no doubt someone else in the family will catch the Elvis fever. 😂
Fwiw man I'm seeing it right now. Yeah this is an iconic performance. But I love how much you appreciated him messing around with his band, and he messes around with the audience sometimes just like that. But you have to understand there is a context here. He was tight with everybody in his band, including his backup singers. And that particular woman? She sometimes went out of her way to prank him in practice. And they got into a habit of they would try to startle each other. So the fact that he did it on stage and you can see her laughing her ass off and blushing even before it happens and then definitely afterwards, and then he could barely keep from bursting out laughing, that tells you everything you need to know. I'm so glad you picked up on it. A lot of reactors either do not or barely do or they misinterprete it or something. You're right on top of that man.
I don't know if u know this. E was scheduled to work at the Houston Ast. Done. They didn't want E to show b/c of his black backup singers. He said if they couldn't show he would not either. That is just one of many stories of how he took up for his black background singers. E saw no color. One black backup singers called him boss, E said I am not ur boss I am ur brother. That speaks volumes about the kind of man E really was
I have watched it several times. I love the performance. It’s one of my favorites, and I love your reaction. He was beautiful, and he was a bright light in our lives to this day. He was amazing there’s not enough good words in this world to say about him. He was beyond special
Btw, Ronnie Tutt is his good friend and drummer and you are exactly right, they were egging each other on in a big feedback loop. Ronnie had the ability to just go nuts and drive Elvis crazy but then Elvis would always try to take the upper hand and push him even harder. And he did this with other members of the band as well. But that is definitely a really amazing moment.
He did open a lot of eyes.
@ 10:10 You nailed it ! "Elvis is a type of superhero that we need right now..." Well said. I'm digging your love, laughter and enthusiasm.
And he would thank his audience. No, Elvis, thank for tiu all the great music!
He was a gift from GOD
A lot of places refused to allow his female black singers enter the buildings but Elvis always told them he wouldn’t perform without his girls, he was ahead of his time and didn’t like negativity or hate. In the beginning of his career ppl thought he was black and was surprised to see he was white
You will love ( edge of reality) Elvis in blue suit ❤
Favorite Elvis tune by far. Love his performance and your reaction is spot on. Dude dropped more panties than anyone in the history of man.
He was a black belt karate..the moves show it
He was a black belt in karate and used a lot of his moves in his stage show and in his movies as well,a total artist
Best reaction I have ever seen
Elvis, his band, and backup singers arrived at one of the venues to perform and they all started in the front door together when the owner stopped them and told his backup singers that they were to enter in the back and Elvis stopped in his tracks looked at the man and said if they don't come in here then I don't come in.

You have a sweet soul.may like elvis..jailhouse rock.its awesome
ELVIS is king❤His voice is pure butter❤🎉❤🎉❤
You hit the nail on the head, we do need somebody like Elvis now. I love about Elvis is he treated everyone the same. He never acted like he was better than anyone else. Blast If I Can Dream around the world.
Though the greatest entertainer in the world he was very modest. He loved and respected everyone 🙏
I have to say one of the best reactions I have seen. You made me laugh, but everything you say about this amazing man is so true. We need more like him one of kind. Our Lord definitely broke the mould when he made Elvis.
Fantastic reaction love your respect for this man
Hell.... he has been gone for 50 years, that cheeky smile and his karizma still make people giggle🔥😆
They tried to tell Elvis that he had to leave his black backup singers behind...he told them if they couldn't go he wont go either.
This is my absolute favorite I play everyday and it's my ringtone on my phone I love it
Elvis was greatest of all time but also was an amazing special human being, great reaction ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️x
His backup singers were The Sweet Inspirations, and one of them was Cissy Houston, mother of Whitney Houston.
I have watched this so many times and I love it. Every time each time is even more enjoyable than the last one. I thought already commented in on this, but I don’t see my comment so here it is. He was an amazing beautiful man who gave such great shows for his fans, and he cared so much about everyone, had a huge heart, and he was a great performer. He was amazing.
Elvis stage presence was never ever dull. Wow!
I love how you help me laugh and I get to watch Elvis ❤
Beautiful. Happy Birthday Elvis!! We will never forget you. ❤
YEAH, his smile is something else.
I had to watch this again because it’s more than my favorite performances. I loved this so much and I also like your reaction
ONE of his best performance, more then 50 years ago! Thank you for sharing! 👋👋 🇳🇱
There will never be another Elvis, you have to hear "in the ghetto" it will bring tears to your eyes
Love your comments about this legend x
Elvis was a real genuine human being the kind we need more of today
Elvis was raised up in the church, he understood the Creator the Lord God 🙏 created all color of man and loves all the same RIGHT.
His impact will going to stay for ever and ever and ever
I agree with you wholeheartedly! Elvis loved everyone! He was so special!!
Every single live video of Elvis is great, but "Suspicious Minds" is the icing on the cake! 🍰
I also thoroughly enjoy "Polk Salad Anne" equally as well 🤗 I would love to see a reaction from Ray on that one 😀
Excellent review. You understand. Elvis is the best,
Omg u got me dyin over here LOVE me some Elvis❤😂❤😂❤😂
I bet that audience is still talking about this performance. I love that you are introducing Elvis to a new fan base. Thank you great reaction.
You bet!
@@vibereacts05 check out Dolly Parton’s philanthropy and comments, she picked up the mantle.

Sad part is the people he trusted most were the ones that let him kill himself
Beautifully said Vicki
@Richard Eidemiller
So well said!
Thank you :)
It does matter how he died. Some people are guilty.......
A real no computers involved
You really screwed with my head LOL I'm not going to stop thinking about Elvis humping at that moment now, ever LOL
And THAT is why Elvis is the King.
As always a great reaction
The Best!
Thank you for this reaction can you imagine what the women was thinking when he was dancing like that
I love this guy’s commentary! Hilarious!! Elvis was the King
❤❤❤ Your reaction ❤❤❤

Remember his pastor called him " a bundle of energy set to music. "
Elvis was told in Texas I believe that he could not have the black backup singers on stage with him. He told them if they are not on stage then neither am I. The show went on with Elvis and his backup singers. BTW one of them was Whitney Houston's mom.
I think that was the Houston Astro Dome
I absolutely loved what you said about Elvis. He had a warm heart and Loving soul.
Pure talent. No one can come close to Elvis. Gone from us too soon. You are right about his smile, with its little crookedness and those cheekbones! What a good man he was. And then there’s his voice…💕and his heart and soul..💕
When he was booked in the Astrodome in Texas, he was told to "leave the girls at home". He told them he wouldn't perform without them. He won.
You are hilarious!! Thank you for loving Elvis so much. He truly deserves it. There will never be another one like him. True singer and entertainer. You don't learn what he did. It was a gift from God. God Bless you and your channel.
Your commentary is spot on! From the funny to serious. And I admit it too… I LOVE ELVIS.
Walk a Mile in my Shoes and Impossible Dream
Hey man... you had a fucking brilliant description of Elvis... Hilarious 😆😆😆
Brilliant video. I do this song on karaoke at my local bar an I did it once an walked in between where people sitting and now I do it every time lol.
You made me laugh and cry with this one. He was amazing, he was one-of-a-kind and you're right, the mold was broke when he came into the world.

Excellent reaction as always! Thank you for your nice words about Elvis because everything you said is exactly true.
Thank you too!
Those moves are one of the many things he’s famous for!!!
And I pant hard everytime he starts swaying 🔥
Love watching your reactions to Elvis
The king of rock and roll the legend lives on
You can see how much fun he could have on stage, showing his humor and charisma and playfulness and even silliness. That's why you couldn't help but watch him.
"A bundle of energy set to music!!" He sure was!!!
He added his karate moves into his dance moves.

Truly iconic performance with Ekvis at his Vegas peak. The commentator totally gets it. Awesome
I met one of Elvis’s back up singer Estelle and she said he treated them like queens. Love Estelle she is a sweetheart
You need to watch Polk Salad Annie 😊😊😊
Elvis wore those suits so he could move that way
🤣Your salesman analogy in the beginning was perfect!
I don't know if u know this. E was scheduled to work at the Houston Ast. Done. They didn't want E to show b/c of his black backup singers. He said if they couldn't show he would not either.

ELVIS THE ETERNAL KING OF ROCK'N ROLL 👑⚡️👱🎼🎵🎶❤️💋
Well said. Respect!
Ray u r soooo right we need ELVIS TODAY!! 😊
