Really good reaction. Intelligent and appreciative! Thank you. He covered many genres, and through his life his voice grew too so it's very hard to suggest a song. Trying To Get To You...I think I will suggest that one from his 68 Comeback Special. But if you want something ultra smooth then try The Girl Of My Best Friend, or Crying In The Chapel.
My mother was an Elvis fan so I saw all his movies and heard all his songs growing up. As a teenager when he passed away-it was THE news for days. Never be another like him.
What a wonderful young man you are. I hope you react to more Elvis because he is so diverse & unpredictable. His talent is endless. Be proud of yourself, I have subscribed ❤
What a great reaction. I have been an Elvis fan for 53 years and to see another generation discover him is a true testament to his legacy and to why he truly is the king. I had to sub as I am looking forward to watching your Elvis journey. You seem to be a nice young man wise beyond your years. Continue with that positivity it is so refreshing. Suspicious Minds Las Vegas live 1970..Polk Salad Annie live Las Vegas 1970 are both really fun and energetic performances. Bridge Over Troubled Water live Las Vegas 1970..Just Pretend live Las Vegas 1970 are beautiful songs that showcase his beautiful voice and vocal range. From there his catalogue is quite extensive and I hope that you will continue to discover who Elvis was as a musician and a person. I look forward to seeing what you do next. TCB ⚡️
Thanks for reviewing and reacting to Elvis. He is the best music jerney you'll ever go on. You'll never enjoy a more better artist than him. Just to fill you in a little on Elvis. He made 31 Films. Over 786 songs. Helped the Black community. Gave practically everything he had away houses cars jewellery money, Paid every kind of bill for total strangers. He loved to have fun on stage. He was in the Army. He was a karate instructor. And many other things.
Wow loved your reaction ❤ Livslang Elvis fan fra Danmark og jeg håber at se flere reaktioner fra dig🎶🎶 Subbed for Elvis Hvis du hopper på Elvis toget håber jeg du starter fra begyndelsen- Ed Sullivans shows er er fantastisk sted at starte
Frank Sinatra sang this originally ❤. Listen to In the Ghetto. Elvis was raised in a poverty stricken neighborhood. Most of his idols were black artists and that’s why he has rhythm and soul❤
Note the English version has no relation to the original French version. BACKGROUND INFO: The original French song is entitled "Comme d'habitude" and composed by Jacques Revaux, Gilles Thibaut & Claude François. The English version (My Way), was re-written by Paul Anka for Frank Sinatra. Anka changed the lyrics & slightly altered the melodic structure. The translation of "Comme d'habitude" literally means "as per usual" - about something that happens regularly, or that isn't surprising, & has nothing to do w-Anka's re-written English version. The video of the original French version w-English subtitles is on the internet by Claude Francois. Sinatra's daughter Nancy said that Sinatra did not like the song to the point of hating it. Sinatra said it was "self-serving" but performed it many times anyway. The difference between Sinatra & Elvis is the emotion & passion Elvis put into the song - as he did w-every song he sang.
You wanna hear Elvis sing rock and roll listen to "A big hunk 'O love. He sang it in the live show here and it's great but nothing beats the original, recorded in 1958 a hit in 59 and Elvis about as good as he gets in my opinion.
Here are my Top Recommendations for you if you want to do a deep dive into Elvis... MUST SEE: TOP CHOICE: After Elvis' friend MLK was assassinated, Elvis defied his manager, NBC executives and their sponsors and delivered maybe the greatest social justice song ever recorded in his honor during the race riots, to end his NBC TV Comeback Special (back to performing live after 8 years of doing movies in Hollywood): If I Can Dream. ua-cam.com/video/u-pP_dCenJA/v-deo.html Recommendation #1: A great Spanish dance craze number from the 1960s by the name of BOSSA NOVA BABY: ua-cam.com/video/_GanoEE7VUc/v-deo.html Recommendation #2: Mean Woman Blues: ua-cam.com/video/ErS9BVWMeoI/v-deo.html&t= - Elvis does the side moonwalk with a spin... Michael Jackson's Moonwalk idea came partly from this. Noone else was this smooth with it! James Brown was but he came years after Elvis. Recommendation #3: Elvis and the Black Community. A great collaboration of interviews by legends and historic figures in the black community discussing Elvis. ua-cam.com/video/xd1pXw1DmsA/v-deo.html Recommendation #4: ELVIS GOING HARD and playing MEAN guitar riffs. ua-cam.com/video/KZ64T6gEdC4/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/U_t20f4PiRM/v-deo.html Recommendation #5: Elvis' GUITAR SKILL. He could sing and play at the same time. He was a seriously talented rhythm guitarist and played with intense emotion. ua-cam.com/video/cXRBKrZcbBU/v-deo.html Recommendation #6: Very powerful faith/emotion driven Gospel. Take My Hand, Precious Lord ua-cam.com/video/ThsYX4RBtbw/v-deo.html Vocally Elvis had huge range... he could go really hard... or high with a dominating three octave range and vibrato that was legendary. He could take you to church. Recommendation #7: How Great Thou Art - Live gospel with the Sweet Inspirations who he broke segregation practices with in the Astrodome and other music venues ua-cam.com/video/XlfcvUtUoOM/v-deo.html Recommendation #8: In The Ghetto - Elvis knew that ghetto life himself first hand, during segregation and the great depression. He never forgot his roots, and was very generous to the poor and those without a voice black and white and anyone else. ua-cam.com/video/2Ox1Tore9nw/v-deo.html Recommendation #9: Medley: Heartbreak Hotel / Hound Dog / All Shook Up ('68 Comeback Special) -- 1968 version of 3 of the biggest hits in R&R history ua-cam.com/video/9179nS0o2sE/v-deo.html Recommendation #10: American Trilogy - Brilliant Civil War anthem / medley of three songs Dixie, The Battle Hymn Of The Republic and All My Trials - ua-cam.com/video/0FT3SmZ_zx0/v-deo.html More: Jailhouse Rock - ua-cam.com/video/MfrC8PAQtlg/v-deo.html -- Elvis does a side moonwalk like move which was a pre-cursor to Michael Jackson's Moonwalk. Hound Dog: ua-cam.com/video/aNYWl13IWhY/v-deo.html Without Elvis' version of this song, money for black and white musicians may never have come into Rock and Roll. This song broke open the floodgates. And live of course it was fire. Stuck On You: ua-cam.com/video/kJ6yAYHsHqg/v-deo.html - Elvis dance moves were never rehearsed or choreographed. Nobody else moved like him.
Elvis is THE GOAT!!!! In the end I think Elvis had a more meaningful legacy. IMO sales are one thing but legacy counts more. Because legacy involves the ouevre and the artists you influence. And from this perspective artists influenced or inspired by Elvis are just bigger names (Dylan, Hendrix, Freddy Mercury and Elton John , John Lennon just name a few) bigger then Beyonce, Bieber or Usher. Why? because Elvis influenced real musician who could perform live and compose songs without producer based techniques like sampling, interpolating, autotune, overdubbing.
Paul Ankara, a big name in music 50s thru 70s, wrote this song, specifically, for Frank Sinatra. It is forever a Sinatra song. Only old and fat Elvis sang it. Young and thin Elvis never did it. I believe the only reason he began doing it, was because he knew The Colonel had him on a crash course for death. He passed away less than 4 years after this concert. He only sang this at one other concert, in Omaha, Ne. in 1970.
Elvis was not old and fat ever, especially not in 1973 at this concert. He had so many ailments in his short life and this plus the meds he took to continue performing made him look bloated. He was always beautiful.
Beautiful reaction. Thank you. Elvis was so talented and was a gorgeous man inside and out. The GOAT. Please more Elvis. Anything from the 68 Special or 1970 LasVegas is wonderful.❤❤❤
You nasty person. He was not old and fat. He died aged 42! He had a genetic heart problem, he was overweight due to fluid build up, he had a spastic Colon, glaucoma, he must have been in tremendous pain, but he carried on & he was loved up to & way after, even now. He was kind, unlike you.
Looking at your short Elvis history, I'd say Suspicious Minds the 1970 Las Vegas version is the absolute best one to check out. For this one, live version first, THEN you can check the studio version. TRUST!!

Someone said " You don't just listen to Elvis ...you FEEL Elvis when he sings...it's a whole different dynamic ". So true❤
They say once Elvis covers your song it’s no longer yours. It’s an Elvis song.
Truth❤
I enjoy your company. You’re very good at this.
Elvis always the best
GOAT
Sinatra sang this song good...
Elvis sang this song passionately and made it his own.
Elvis owns this song. ❤❤❤❤
Trouble
Moody Blue
Jailhouse Rock
Any Elvis song is perfection. Thank you. ❤❤
Really good reaction. Intelligent and appreciative! Thank you.
He covered many genres, and through his life his voice grew too so it's very hard to suggest a song.
Trying To Get To You...I think I will suggest that one from his 68 Comeback Special.
But if you want something ultra smooth then try The Girl Of My Best Friend, or Crying In The Chapel.
The KING. More please ❤
Love Elvis ❤🎉

Wow, I'm in my 60s, but you are very impressive at your young age by, to you, old-age music. That's rare. Good for you!

Check out Elvis's "If I Can Dream." It's a masterpiece in tribute to the loss of Martin Luther King Junior, and Robert F. Kennedy.
Elvis never performed to a less than a sold out venue. This concert from Hawaii was viewed by over 1.5 Billion fans worldwide
New subscriber. Great reaction! I'd love to hear by Elvis - Sweet Caroline, Kentucky Rain, If That Isn't Love and Make The World Go Away.
You wanna hear Elvis sing rock and roll listen to "A big hunk 'O love. He sang it in the live show here and it's great but nothing beats the original, recorded in 1958 a hit in 59 and Elvis about as good as he gets in my opinion.
So good for a young person like you find😢elvis and feeling him like us life long elvis fans is brilliant

Keep listen to Elvis. Watch his live concerts. Listen to the song just pretend live version. Watch the Elvis and the black community
Time to check out Tom Jones, I'll never love again.

Obviously he's singing My Way before he gained all that weight. Are you watching the video?

So much disinformation, I'm sure that other Elvis fans will react to this disgraceful comment wih the facts
Even now everyone comes a very very poor 2nd.
