Elvis blew up the music business. He changed everything.
When someone called him the King, he replied "I'm an entertainer, Christ is King".
Elvis will ALWAYS be remembered. He is literally the King of Rock n Roll. You see him moving there in that early video. Before Elvis, people stood on stage and sang little songs. Elvis came out the womb bursting with talent and a rock n roll spirit. They wanted to arrest him for how he moved on stages. There were protests to get him off TV. They would only shoot him from the waist up. so on. Elvis changed music forever. Keith Richards of the The Rolling Stones said she he heard Heartbreak Hotel, one of Elvis's first hits, the world went from black and white to technicolor. As much as you are digging the King, please look at some documentaries about him. You need to know the history. You'll love it. Love your reactions!!! There are few good videos about Elvis's whole life on UA-cam, I think one is called Elvis the Searcher, and the other Elvis by the Presleys. That last one his family put together. I haven't seen them in awhile, but man, got to get onto the history of Elvis. He was never just another performer. He was like from another planets, for real.
From the time Elvis was a little boy the black community cared for him. His friends were black, he went to black churches. No one sent him away just because he was white. Watch the interview with Elvis's childhood friend Sam Bell, please.
Elvis crossed the race barrier by bringing black music to the mainstream and that was something not acceptable to the racists of the day.
God bless you and thank you for learning about him.
Not only was he highly gifted in every area, but he was just a good dude. I’ve never read a bad word about Elvis from anyone that actually knew him.
Elvis started Rock & Roll Music
From a third generation and lifelong Elvis fan thank you for taking time to learn who Elvis was. Thanks again for having a great reaction to a great man
Elvis grew up in extreme poverty and spent his youth in the black churches.
Because of that he spent his life giving to others less fortunate.
He spent his whole life giving people cars, houses, jewelery and hundreds of charities.
Famous Elvis quote "If the fans rip the shirt off my back they can have it. They put it there"
He never cared about the fame or money he just wanted to sing and make people happy.
You enjoyed that clip of him dancing, that was from his appearance on the Milton Berle show in 56.
You should check that out, Hound Dog on the Milton Berle show.
Trying To Get To You 68 Comeback special
Baby Whatcha Want Me To Do 68 Comeback special.
Thank you for doing this one I'm glad you enjoyed it:)
He loved black church music
Like Elvis said:The same God that made you made him too.
Elvis worried that no one would remember him after he died and his significance to history really can't be overstated. The entire world stood still when he died, the President released an official statement to comfort a nation in mourning, and 45 years later, thousands still flock to Graceland to mark the anniversary with a candlelight vigil. The list of famous visitors includes people like Paul McCartney to Prince William, the future king of England had one request when visiting the USA... he wanted to see Graceland. I doubt Elvis would have believed that if someone had told him that his fanbase just gets bigger and bigger.
Not only was Elvis so nice, his entire family was. His Uncle Vester treated me great when I was at Graceland, and I am just a regular guy that he just met. He allowed me on the property for two weeks inside the guard shack with him. He was Elvis’ father’s brother .
He always thought that he wouldn't be remembered. If he only knew how much he was loved.
Died August 1977 I was 11 years old, the world stood still....much like 9-11.
I was ten. My mum was a huge fan. She was in hospital. My brother and little sister walked 5 miles that day in 1977 to tell her the news. The King is Dead. But Mummy he lives through us and you. Don’t cry.
Most people don't realize (or don't wanna admit) that Elvis had black bloodlines through his native Melungeon Indian roots. His great grandmother was a Indian princess. Elvis himself referred to being International because of his multicultural DNA. Unfortunately the world labeled him a white man while black people label him to this day as a racist who stole black culture despite his roots being mixed. Elvis even told his black cook "the good Lord made a mistake when he didn't make me black". He called black people his people.
Everybody loved Elvis Presley and he loved everybody there wasn't no hate in his bone Elvis will live on
Elvis was extreamily controversal. About no one moved when singing and when he did, he was judged for being sexual. This was a time the word pregnant wasn’t allowed to be said on TV. He got the nickname Elvis the Pelvis and all sorts of names. Devil boy etc. He risked jail for his performance, got filmed only from the waist up at times and he got drafted into the army for 2 years. Many wanted the army to «clean his act up». He brought on new culture, from his upbringing in the black community with gospel, rythme and blues, and his impact on music lives on today. Things evolved into a room of more freedom. Elvis was the first ever super celebrity. He could not go anywhere. He had to rent out restaurants and cinemas to even go there. He got chased around everywhere he went, so with time he only went out at night and still had to rent out places. Outside of his house there was always fans waiting and he spent time with them almost everyday because of how grateful he was and he loved his fans. I don’t think his kind of fame has ever been topped. This was a time without internet and the whole world new about him.
Watch the video of Elvis’ childhood friend
Unfortunately, this time period was a segregated world! Its awful! Elvis was born very very poor! He was a twin that died at birth. They had to bury Jesse in a shoebox in an unmarked grave. He was only 1 of 4 white families living in a prominently black neighborhood. His neighbors helped his family. He grew up very religious in black churches. He was shunned for being vulgar because his body moved with the music and nobody had done that!! He opened the doors for music/musicians when it was frowned upon. He wanted the world to stop hating!!!
Thanks to you, his name, music and memory will live on...TCB ⚡🤘
Beautifully said!❤️
You're a young man that's got a good future because you're willing to listen and learn. Never go off somebody's else's opinion, find out for yourself. One of the best lessons you can ever learn.
I cried...thankyou again
At one time 3 names were known pretty much around the world: Jesus, Elvis, Santa Claus
I just today found your channel, and I'm now subscribed. I've been LOVING it as I watch you develop such respect for him.
Great reaction. Elvis still intrigues people to this day, including me.
the world was so messed up back then, people try to say it's worse now. But those racists are dying off
Watch part 2 please if you haven't. God bless you for learning as much as you can.
I enjoyed your reaction. You are insightful and intelligent. Commentary was on point. 👍
When Elvis was on TV for the First time after seeing how he moved his Hips & body they refused to show below his waist. To vulger the Adults said. You need to find his older video's of him just jamming with all the Black Jass Players, it is something else Elvis was truly the King. Handsome and his voice was totally awesome so beautiful. You need to also listen to him sing Amazing Grace.
See what i meant on one of my comments i wrote on a reaction you did. Elvis had threatened the country, and so an effort was made to try and control him and to destroy him. This is why in one of his performance, the waist up one, he seemed uneasy and had to control his movement. He wasn't himself and he hated that they were trying to stop him. In fact, it went as high and up to the United States Govt when they called him to serve for two years in the army from 1958 to 1960. They basically pulled the plug at his highest peak of his career. Anyone else would have been completely destroyed, but Elvis came back nicely and even returned bigger than ever in the 1968 Elvis Comeback Special.
Eddie Murphy said that when Elvis was on the movie screen, no matter what was happening, every eye was on Elvis; and Eddie Murphy said he wanted to be like that. Stars said they would be at a giant gala with hundreds of people, and if Elvis entered, the whole feeling changed, and you knew Elvis must have entered the place without even knowing Elvis was there!!
Elvis was my first concert in 1972 and lord help me no one has ever put a show on like that, and I have been to 100’s of concerts since
👑 👑👑👑👑
No matter what color of us kids, we lived him!! White freckled face kid here... now little old lady that never gave up!!!
It’s great to see that you take the time to learn who he was
You are just beautiful. So happy you reacted to this. You are a sweetheart.
It’s ironic that the racists were against him back then and nowadays a lot of black people think what he did was a negative thing. I don’t think I ever heard him say he was the king of rock n roll.
I will never understand where the rumor that he was a racist began. He was anything but!
Elvis had so much negativity thrown at him.Because of the way he sang,danced etc….
Elvis did not like to be called the King he said' there was only one King'
Thank you for a great reaction!
The old folk hated him said he was singing black music they are gone he went on and is still popular today
They hated him because he brought Black music into the mainstream. And like all racists through time, that was a threat to them.
Welcome to the 50’s. 2:36
This documentary is a wonderful way to explain the history of the civil rights movement. This crap should not be forgotten either lest it return.
This documentary must have been made in 1997 because they said 40 years ago Elvis brought his record to the radio station. Jailhouse Rock was released in 1957.
That was back in the 50's with the parents and some dj's complaining. On the Ed Sullivan Show, he was filmed from the waist up.
He could sing any genre. He loved gospel the best.
He showed loved to everyone. He was very giving. He didn't see color.
Thank you for taking this Elvis journey for yourself ... I love to see young people learn the real story of why he is so revered even today ! Beyond his talent , he was a very special human being who genuinely loved and respected others . TCB Elvis ... your legend continues !
Maybe you should see the Movie/Biopic „Elvis“ from Baz Luhrmann to learn more about him.
It was the time. Rock n roll didn’t exists until he and others started it in the late 50s. His dancing freaked conservatives out big time. Teens loved him
Every year in Australia, in a town called Parkes, they have an annual Elvis festival with a different theme, based on any one of 33 of his movies from late 50s and during the 60s. People come from all over Australia and overseas, just to dress up and enjoy and relive his life. It's a Big Deal. He's loved to this day. This year it was the movie Speedway. It was magical and my first time at the event which goes for 5 days. Trust me, he lives on in our hearts, all over the world. Rip Elvis x
Died 1977 but still live on 4ever
Thx Pzo ty I'm glad you got to see who Elvis was ty 👍🙏
I'm begging you to do the song "Crawfish" that's some soul. I love it.
You should react to his jailhouse rock music video 1957, hound dog on the Ed Sullivan show 1956, trying to get to you live 68 comeback special, suspicious minds live in Vegas 1970 and love me tender live Vegas 1970. I think u will like these performances ❤
My friend… you NEED to watch the new “Elvis” movie ASAP!!
Yep he moved his hips like that. That's why they called him Elvis the "pelvis". 😉👍
New older subscriber here! The middle-aged & older whites hated Elvis because he was influenced by Black artists, so they considered it "colored" music. They thought Elvis' rock and roll was dirty because of the physical moves he made, sexy. One of his nicknames was "Elvis the Pelvis" because he moved it. Before rock, white audiences and performers were pretty uptight, very non-sexual. When some of our parents saw us dancing to rock n roll, shaking our hips and shoulders, etc., they thought it was horrible and immoral. If they saw performers dance today they'd freak! Anyway, the older white people who hated Elvis because they were (a) racist and/or (b) uptight and easily shocked.
People liked to put out there he was racist! Now you know he wasn't! In that time the black people got no respect of any kind! ELVIS hated that because he loved everybody! People were very conservative then and he scared the white people with the way he performed! The young people loved him. He took off and nobody could stop him! The rest is history!! THE GREATEST ENTERTAINER EVER AND EVER AND FINALLY LOVED BY ALL ALL OVER THE WORLD!!!
Merci, ⚡🤙
His musical influences was older bluesmen in his small Mississippi town and the black church pastors and choir music he experienced there. He grew up extremely poor. His twin brother died at birth
Awesome reaction bro I loved it👍 there’s also a part 2 if your interested, Elvis had the whole package he was everything an Artist, Entertainer, Performer and just as a human being could be even to this very day 😊 Elvis Arron Presley 1935 -1977
It shows that it was not easy for Elvis at all, he grew up dirt poor because of that he was surrounded by all kinds of music country, the blues, gospel is somehow or another heard a different sound and put it all together in his own way and took on everybody most kindness way by not changing and sticking to his guns this is what made Elvis great he did not see color at all only music thank you for your reaction
MJ could dance the way he did w abandon cos Elvis opened the door. He took the brunt of it all. He grew up w black gospel and rhythm and blues. So yes…he opened up everything. 📌
I'm glad you watched this. It's good to get into the background of artists.
So glad you took the time to do this. 🤙💯🔥💞
Elvis the King of Rock, Voice, and SOUL!!!
Elvis was born in tupelo Mississippi and he was brought up with black people and going to a black church that's how he learned to sing the way he did. The moving and dancing that he did to his songs was just something that was in him he didn't do it on purpose it just came out that way and that's what everybody really liked about him but also what the people didn't like about it. Elvis didn't think he was doing anything vulgar he was only 25 26 years old and he just didn't understand why everybody hated what he did, to him it was just natural.
Elvis was influenced by the black community he lived in and he loved the music and the revivals. He was a saint!
i agree with you on all points except one he was not a saint he was human. He would not have liked that and this is why. there is not a day that goes by that i don't think of him and all the memories we made in 10 short years, his death knocked the wind out of me i have never been the same since, Elvis was the big brother i never had. He is also my guardian angel. Graceland is my go to place when it get's to hard to live w/o my friend i go there and walk around and remember Elvis and all the beautiful times we had together. He was the only person in my life that understood me and i understood him we cared about each other faults and all. Elvis knew he messed up nobody knew that more than he did he accepted and owned what he did to his body all the prescription drugs he abused he couldn't beat them his body failed him but his voice never did. What it comes down to is we both needed a friend and we were that for each other. Awesome reaction. i have spent my entire adult life speaking out to people that try and judge a beautiful soul that is not here to defend himself. as long as i have breath in my lungs no one i mean no one will disrespect him period. God bless you and your family from the one and only Memphis Tn. 😭 #forevermyking #forevermysexyjello
I agree with Rufus Thomas & BB King, but I DISAGREE with Little Richard and the Rapper guy are incorrect. Elvis was not a copycat, and he did not just sing R&B. From his first recordings in 1953 & 54, he did Country Music, Ballads, Pop, Bluegrass, along with R&B. Any R&B he did in that time was a "cover" which means to record it AFTER the original R&B artist already had their own hit with it. When elvis covered any songs, he was REQUIRED to pay royalties to the original song writers. He paid his own way.
Excellent genuine reaction, my man.. there was and is so much disinformation out there :/ Subbed ❤
I told u he was great person & a good soul❤he didn't see color
😊
God bless you Sammy
Do you know to this day, Elvis is still the Number 1 selling solo artist of all time? He's been gone over 40 years. Think about that.
There is also another Part 2 to this....
I'm so glad you watched this! Next you should take on a fun song, Jailhouse Rock is my favorite
Good stuff man. 👍
Son, go find some video of the crowd for his funeral. People were passing out on the sidewalks.
Elvis was a little kid (like 6 years old on) and he would go to black churches bc he lived in a area of mostly black people. He was embraced by the black community as a little kid. They say he would just dance and sing when he was at church. He loved it. You can't be mad a 6 year old boy that doesn't see color and embraces and loves the music and dancing of the black community. I think it's a compliment to the black community. I'm proud that Elvis made a difference by supporting the black community in the south at a time when a lot of the white community were uneducated idiots.
If you haven't done Unchained Melody by Elvis it is a must. It's his last performance he died just weeks later
His performance of Unchained Melody is hard to watch because of his declining health but OMG he belted out that song. He gave all to his fans.
He had black soul
One of my favorites is his cover of Neil Diamond's And the grass won't pay no mind.
Elvis passed Aug 16, 1977
There a part 2 to the elvis and the black community. Check it out.
In those days people didnt move in those ways as they thought it sugjestive,
make sure you watch part 2 as well !
Check out part 2
Check out the artist that commented in this video - it's a musical history lesson. Just think of the ridiculous law suits going on today against gangster rap. Those who want to censor art have no understanding or respect for common humanity
Search for Part 2 of this video. Find out what black entertainers like James Brown, Whitney Houston, Eddie Murphy, etc. thought of him.
You have to put the start of this video into the context of the ultra conservative time period we lived in, especially in the south. Unfortunately this was a common occurrence and even led to his third performance on Ed Sullivan's show being filmed from the waist up. Elvis never saw color, he saw people. This is very good look at who he really was.
They used to call Elvis the Pelvis, lol
now, you need to see part 2....
No more division they want division in every way possible. No more division
Eminem is the modern day version of elvis ... white man doing black music
Please checkout pt2
Elvis died August 16, 1977. A few months before my 16th birthday. My mom and I were both devastated.
Yeah, react to the remix.
1977
They didn’t like him because he was different, up to this point they had people like Frank Sinatra.
Part 2?
NOW. your understanding. Elvis. See. The new Elvis. Movie.
