Elvis was 25 here
Sinatra wasn't trying to "Help Elvis". Elvis was already the biggest star in the world at that point. also in regard to Elvis's "Dance moves". You, like so many new to Elvis, don't realize that the Elvis's movements / dance moves that was so wild was in his first few years of fame. (1955-58) As a matter of fact after his army days Elvis was tame on stage in comparison. which was disappointing to many. Thank you for the video. we enjoy seeing YOU enjoy Elvis.
There's only one relatively full Elvis concert from the 50s preserved and compared to that his performances from the Arizona memorial fundraiser, the 68 Comeback Special, and his first few years in Vegas were not tame.
You nailed it. I've been an Elvis fan for 48 years. That is all accurate.
@@williamquinlan6153 His performance on The Milton Berle show June 5th, 1956 is right here on UA-cam and I put the title of it in a comment to them. It shows exactly how Elvis moved prior to his Army days. There is plenty of footage on here of him on Ed Sullivan and other shows. He may have moved and was wild during the Vegas days, but he never danced the way he did before he got drafted and shafted as he says during his recorded concerts in 69. Also, after the army he spent the rest of his 20's stuck making those movies. They wanted to tame him and they did. However, he already set in motion the tidal wave that came afterwards. Vegas was wild, but it wasn't the same.
54+ 👍
Yes. More like Sinatra needed Elvis to boost his ratings. EP just outshone them all, Sinatra couldn't hold a candle to Elvis.
With or without sideburns Elvis was breathtaking ❤❤❤❤
Just one of the most attractive men to ever walk this planet, wasn't he??? ♥♥♥♥
@@Jude_196 yes I agree, most attractive man to ever walk this planet ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@blackvelvet433Right❤
One thing no one could ever take away from Elvis was his unbelievable voice. He had a magnificent voice and could sing any thing. Right up until his last performance, his voice never failed him. Thanks for the great reaction on Elvis and Frank. 👏👏🥰
Wow if this is the youngest you’ve seen Elvis you need to go back 5/6 years. So many great performances. Elvis was reserved here, maybe because he’d just come out of the Army and this was his first appearance or he was being respectful to Frank. Elvis knew how to move already, he’s holding back. You need to go back and see an even younger Elvis in action. Thank you for your reactions to Elvis love them 💙
Elvis moves are tamed hear. Elvis in 56 was monster moves.
Elvis was the definitive star of this show. Poor Frank had to put up with all of the girls screaming for him. Elvis was incomparable and inimitable. ❤❤❤
The girls screamed the same way for Frank 20 years earlier
@@soupthedestroyer2067 No, they didn´t. "The King" was on a different level of fame than Sinatra.
@@Katzenhase You'll have to talk to my mom 🤯
I believe about 40% of America watched this performance; this was his first performance after getting out of the Army. He sang both sides of this first single after his discharge. His style definitely changed, with a more mature, smooth voice. He was and still is the best!
Icons don't get any bigger than these two!
You are right it is just him, no special effects, no auto tune,no dancers, no fire works. That is talent.
He was 25 and fresh out of the army in which he was drafted. It was a boom mike. Elvis never had a weight problem until the 70's. Funny Frank was kind of jealous of Elvis but after this performance and they did a lot of charity work together and became dear friends. React to his story "Elvis Presley King of Kindness" he was a generous humanitaian. Thanks Be blessed
Elvis was the fireworks, just look at this gorgeous young man .He was stunning ,adorable ,how can you not love him
Elvis was definitely the star of this show. He's so humble in his interaction, yet he stands out like a true Superstar. His charisma is off the charts. I love his sideburns, he made them famous! 😊 very nice reaction. More Elvis please. 🎶⚡🎧🇿🇦
Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley singing those songs together is really nice.
Elvis was 25 in this video, and the reason he had no sideburns is because he had just recently been discharged from the army. He was drafted in 1958 and served until 1960.
Elvis was PERFECTION 💕🇦🇺
The Chairman of the Board, and the King of Rock. ❤
He wasn't in war, he was in Germany, my home country.
Here's a little story that the mother of my ex-boyfriend told me: Back then she worked for the Americans where Elvis was stationed. She once met him while she was working. She had a very low-level work like kitchen help or cleaner lady. I don't remember exactly what she said, only that it was low-level and hard work. Elvis started to talk to her and appreciated her work. The old lady was so full of joy when she told us the story. She said that he was such a humble, friendly and polite young man.
Wonderful story. There are many such stories and it proves Elvis was a kind, sensitive, humble and generous person. A rare gem.
Only one King and i'ts Elvis! No passing of the torch, as proof Elvis was so popular that it was on Sinatra's show that he reappeared after having served in the army, it was a show dedicated to him. And Elvis was the most humble guy ever.
Sinatra paid him $100, 000 to appear in 1960. He certainly was the King of Music. Period and no contest.
Exactly. Everyone needed the one and only King of Music to boost them in some way.
He bro, great line. “It’s just Elvis, he is the entertainment.” as someone who saw him in concert in the 70s, believe me, you are right, he was the entertainment. You could not take your eyes off of him. Love you guys reactions!❤
Elvis wss 25 just as he got out of the Army. He was already a big star with three movies under his belt plus gold records. It is his first TV appearance since The Ed Sullivan Show, which was before he was drafted.
This was after he got back from his military duty. Elvis was drafted in 1958. He was never in a war.
Elvis had extreme charisma and presence that very few possess
Really? ; )
@oldtimer7635 Yes. Almost every documentary I've watched or articles I've read about Elvis spoke about it
@@beckylb8610 My comment was sarcasm. ; )
the big thing was back in the 1960s. you had no music videos or social media to see the performers on, all you had was their sounds on the radio. when they made an appearance in tv it was a BIG BIG deal to see them live
Elvis ❤🔥❤️🔥
Dreamboat, beautiful and wonderful voice. Simply stunning in every way.
The most gorgeous man to have ever lived.
Elvis Presley's first hit was a song called That's Alright ( Mama ) in 1954. He was big in 1955 and there is plenty of footage on UA-cam of him on all sorts of shows. He appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1956 and 1957 about 9 times. He was also on various other shows and this performance on The Milton Berle show will give you an idea of how Elvis moved, the title of the video is "Elvis Presley at Milton Berle Show (Live TV 5th June 1956) Full Appearance Remastered HD | S8 E13". Elvis wore sideburns until they drafted him into the Army. He was never fat until the last several years of his life when he was bouncing up and down with his weight. He suffered from chronic pain then and was very sick and using a lot of prescription medication. I'd say it began around 72 or so. He died in 77, so that isn't that long. Elvis was tame in these moves compared to prior to his Army stint. I've never watched any performance of him after that where he moved his hips the way he did before 1958.
This is the earliest you've seen Elvis? You missed all his best performances that made him a superstar then legend from 1956-57.
It's hilarious to watch the difference in rhythm talent between Elvis and Sinatra.
😂 😂 exactly. Frank is trying hard to look relevant and appeal to the audience, but totally overshadowed by Elvis, his gorgeous looks, charisma, talent and super stardom!
Elvis is so stunning... Sinatra looks withered next to him.
@@ElvistaElvis was 25 and Frank was 45 here of course he looks older
@@Wildlife_SA.Frank was the Elvis of the 40s, and they became very close friends after this show
@@soupthedestroyer2067 He wasn´t. Sinatra was never controversial. He was no Elvis in no way.
Amazing
Post army interview few months before this is great and you see just how humble he was and was there ever a better looking guy
He was absolutely wilder before this performance. He was tamed a bit after coming out of the Army. This was a polishing of moves for the TV and American audience.
Love elvis ❤
The torch had already been passed by this time....this was 1960....Elvis made his name in about 56.... between 1958-1960 Elvis did his 2 yr national service ( no war)...Frank initially criticised Elvis and the rock n roll music but by 1960 he did the Welcome Home Elvis TV Special and I think had one of the biggest TV audiences of that year...Sammy Davis jnr was also there, and they became friends and Nancy Sinatra who made a movie with Elvis in the late 1960s...the side burns came back around 68/69 and we're a fashion thing ....nice review
Sinatra and Elvis was awesome.
Elvis was 25 here. This was the Frank Sinatra Welcome Back Elvis Timex special in 1960, to celebrate his homecoming and return to showbiz after 2 years of army service. At this time, aside from those 2 years in the army, he already had several big hits and 4 movies under his belt.
Elvis, apparently, was much better looking in the flesh than he already was on screen and in photos. Hard to believe. So many women and (heterosexual) men openly said he was the most beautiful human being they'd ever seen. Also that he was one of the nicest people one could imagine. Just watch these clips of various celebrities talking about Elvis: ua-cam.com/video/1dOfpXg6on0/v-deo.html various people about Elvis Goldie Hawn 8:33, ua-cam.com/video/aznpMRCvK6s/v-deo.html BB King, ua-cam.com/video/oE2CrArkatY/v-deo.html Nancy Sinatra (Frank Sinatra's daughter), ua-cam.com/video/2jY-sS6rFDc/v-deo.html Kurt Russell (who acted opposite Elvis age 10 and who also played Elvis in a movie), ua-cam.com/video/1FhGY_sVsfM/v-deo.html kurt russell, ua-cam.com/video/-69L_0f2en4/v-deo.html Jerry Reed (who wrote and played guitar on Guitar Man and who starred in many Burt Reynolds movies), ua-cam.com/video/mzuTA5ES9fA/v-deo.html walter matthau richard egan jerry lieber jerry schilling (Walter Matthau played opposite Elvis in King Creole, Richard Egan played opposite Elvis in Love Me Tender), ua-cam.com/video/qN6dBTlT3HA/v-deo.html Ed Ashner (played opposite Elvis in Kid Galahad and Change of Habit), ua-cam.com/video/hWFA29tOul4/v-deo.html Harry Morgan (starred with Elvis in Frankie & Johnny), ua-cam.com/video/ywsuK3sRtLI/v-deo.html Mac Davis (singer songwriter who wrote In the Ghetto), ua-cam.com/video/ASofKyyYTlI/v-deo.html Joe Namath (veteran football player), ua-cam.com/video/N-KDZ7E3S7A/v-deo.html Bruno Kirby (actor and fan).

There's 50's Elvis...
There's 60's Elvis...
And then there's 70's Elvis.
Three distinct eras of his career.
You need to learn about the young, 50's Elvis that took the world by storm with his raw, early Rockabilly songs & moves.
You don't know this icon & his cultural impact on the world until you know & understand the beginning of it all.

Following his comments in 1956, describing Elvis and rock ‘n’ roll as a “rancid aphrodisiac” performed by “cretinous goons”…Sinatra, like Ed Sullivan before him, was forced to bring Elvis on board as his ratings for his series of tv specials were so DIRE!! As a result, Col Parker, also forced him to pay a premium of $125,000 for just 8 minutes of screen time.
Col then upped his price to $250,000 for a tv performance which priced him out of that market til 1968.
Elvis completely songs Sinatra off the screen, even with Sinatra’s own material. Joey Bishop’s comment that a Sinatra release of Love Me Tender would sell about 2 million less comes over as harshly accurate!!
Love this clip elvis was so versatile he could sing any type of music and do it so well hr had souch talent his music will never die ! Thanks guys great reaction as always @☺❤
Elvis had "flare" right from the start. He just wasn't allowed to show it on TV.
❤ Elvis,👆👊👍🌹⭐♥️♥️🙏🙏
This is GOLD! ❤️❤️🥇
A canvas photo of this performance hangs above my turntable.
Elvis always the best
Elvis was 25 here and Frank was 45. Elvis was tame here, I think post Army his manager wanted to clean up Elvis as Col Parker and other older people thought rock & roll was perhaps just a fad. Elvis was all over tv 4 years earlier causing outrage due to his sexy dance moves. You can also see him dance in 3 of his 4 pre army movies. Have you watched the Jailhouse Rock song and dance routine from his 1957 movie titled Jailhouse Rock? His 1957 movie, Loving You, has loads of Elvis singing and dancing at age 22. Elvis was drafted in 1958, during peace time, many thought it was to get rid of him and his influence on the culture.
Still, they did not realize that Frank still had HIT songs thru the 60s and his Vegas era. New York, New York still was to come and My Kind of Town Chicago, Strangers in the night and of course My Way came out in 1969. So Frank was far from done...... Elvis already was a bit past his peak into the mid-60s and had his Comeback Special in the late 60s and into the 70s though his health progressively would decline.
@@davidw7 Past his peak? He was locked up in a movie contract for the majority of his 20's and still put out hit records. He then went on that 68 comeback special and half the country tuned in and STILL wanted ELVIS. In 69 and 70 Vegas, Elvis was on fire. It wasn't until around 72 when his chronic pain and health started to deteriorate and he was taking massive amounts of prescription medications that he began to falter. Though he still recorded great music. He was dead by 77 so that is not a lot of time to speak about. In his short life, Elvis became the KING not only of Rock N Roll, but of Music. He is in 23 Hall of fames, including Rock N Roll, Rhythm and Blues, Country and Gospel. You are speaking about him as though he were some fly by night entertainer and that is hilarious.
@@nycsue Boomer like me took it personal. Sadly, his career did not span as far as Frank's. Most do not. Some do comebacks like say Tina Turner spanning decades and the stars align. Some sadly, no matter who is to blame have drugs of any kind get them too early. Some still survive tarnished like say Judy Garland of no blame of her own and had comeback specials and concerts.
Yes all deserve credit and are all part of American and Global musical history and legacy. The 60s were great in any and all music could become a hit song. From the legacy crooners like Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra to the newer ones then like Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdink, to the protest groups like Peter, Paul and Mary, the Folk singer like John Denver, Motown groups like the Supremes who were up there with #1's like the Beatles, the Cali sound of the Beach Boys and even a Chuck Berry had a hit into the 70s with the My Dingaling song.
Touring was a must and concerts then and able to do live shows and many had their own TV shows. From Andy Williams to Dean Martin had a TV show from 65 thru 74 and even Frank for 3 yrs 57 thru 60 and all FRANKS MOVIES he did.
Tom Jones had a TV show and Englebert. So my point only was that Elvis was not alone, but sadly his career by how his health went into the 70s did not fully stop him but he no longer had hit songs. Suspicious Minds in 69 was his last and did go #1 the same year Frank had My Way go to #27 and #10 in the UK.
Sure Frank and Elvis were at least one generation apart. Both left their mark on music, movies and live performances. Frank's just was able to span more decades.
Neither were my generations as born in 59. 70s 80s were my decades and over in my shell when younger it was more the 80s while in the 20s of age. I mere APPRECIATE BOTH FRANK AND ELVIS AND REALLY DO NOT HAVE A BONE TO PICK. BOTH ARE LEGENDS.
The producers of that show saw the potential of boosting the ratings by having Elvis as a guest and sure enough, they hit the jackpot.
This was actually Elvis with tame dance moves compared to when he started in the mid 50's. He was absolutely at his wild peak then, even compared to his 60's and 70's era. He was nicknamed Elvis the Pelvis and they only used to show him from the waist up on TV because of his moves.
You should see Elvis from the Milton Berle show in 1956 performing houndog. 1956 was the year elvis exploded and was just holding all positions in the top 10. Blew everyone else away.
I like this look the best too I like the sideburns too but boy right after the army look he's just mmmm!
Magnificent!!!❤
Elvis wasnt getting started here, he was getting more tame from 1960, he broke trough in 55;-)
1956.
@@timcarr6401 55
Elvis served 2 years in Germany, I don’t think he saw action. This was the beginning of 3 decades of amazing music, raw talent, live performances with no miming 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
42% of the the population tuned into the show? Amazing, because 42 also happens to be the answer to life, the universe and everything. o
And Elvis died at the age of 42.😮
Nobody sings MY WAY better than Elvis! Do Elvis singing MY WAY, Aloha from Hawaii, live in Honolulu 1973.
The 77 versions are so much better. Everyone watches 73 though.
@@ElvisForevermore73 is best.
@williamquinlan6153 Nope, his voice sounded way too unfocused and weak. Anything besides Aloha is fine with me, 77 was way better than it's given credit for. I'll take 74 - 77 any day.
@@ElvisForevermore his vocals in 77 were the weakest least focused of any year.
Elvis was the whole package. The voice, moves & sexuality. Before Elvis it was “How much is the doggy in the window~songs. I don’t know about this performance but his Aloha from Hawaii was via satellite around the world. 1.5 Billion people watched. It was amazing.
Now he’s just starting his movie career after his military service. He had done a few good movies before his military service. Elvis with Frank Sinatra and Joey Bishop part of the Rat Pack. Try his song “Surrender” to demonstrate the power Elvis had in his voice in 1960. Amazing!
EPIC!!!!!
History for sure
Elvis was born in 1935, so he was 25 years old here.
Phil and Sam Thank you this was a lot of fun.. First reaction you've done where I wasn't born yet.. 🥰🥰
Nice to do something before your time for once 😂
i was 2 1/2 years old. @@barsandbarbells2022
Just welled up a few tears as they sang in harmony at the end, realizing that these two gents, so much a large part of our American culture, are both gone now. This was the only time Frank and Elvis ever did anything together. Elvis did do a movie called Speedway in 1968, with Nancy Sinatra whom you saw at the end here, at age 19.
Great reaction, and many comments have clued you up on various events, but Elvis was more or less locked away from doing public personal appearances after this, and did not appear on TV for another 8 years and only did 3 concerts in that period, none filmed.
une autre Elvis qu'on .. REVERRA DANS 100 ANS 💖💥💫👏👏🙏🙏""
THANKS that was amazing
Awesome cool to see two icons, thank you for this video 🎥🤜🤛
Disagree about the sideburns! I love them, also the black leather and jumpsuits - not that he doesn't look great here, but i just think he looks better in his iconic sideburns.
I totally agree.❤
It was very common to have mikes overhead during live performances!
To gauge the real scream o meter check out Elvis's 2nd appearance on the Ed Sullivan show 1956 where he sings Hound Dog.
Elvis doing Hound Dog on the Milton Berle show in 1956 is amazing. This is the performance that got him in trouble where they would only show him from waist up.
No, it was on the Ed Sullivan Show after a few appearances.
@@timcarr6401 nope on Milton Berle. Ed Sullivan said he would never allow Elvis on his show after Milton Berle show. He did but only showed him from waist up.
@@jessethornton8664 No, it was imposed on Elvis for his second appearnce and therafter on the Ed Sullivan Show.
@@timcarr6401 the legendary performance that caused the controversy was on Milton Berle. You are on UA-cam look it up Elvis doing hound dog on Milton Berle.

Great 👍 Elvis looked his best here
Sir Phil and Dame Sam, in 1968, Nancy would co- star with EP in the movie "SPEEDWAY ".Nice reaction 🎶🎶🎶👊🏾👊🏾
For a great "passing the torch" clip look for Barbra Streisand and Judy Garland singing Happy Days Are Here Again in 1963. It was on the Judy Garland tv show, and it was Wonderful! I think you will both really enjoy it. Thanks for sharing this one. 🙂
Freash out of the Army at the age of 25 in 1960 Elvis Presley was looking to re-start his career and was presented in a cleaner version than the dangerous rocker from the 1950’s. Frank Sinatra hosted and Timex paid Elvis a small fortune to appear on this Welcome Home Elvis special, the future was bright, unfortunately it would transition into 9 years of beach movies. FYI- Elvis served during peace time, it was just the cold war going on at the time, post Korea, pre Vietnam. Also the Colonel did not feel lights shows, backup dancers were needed, Elvis was the talent and focal point in his mind, I only mention that because someone tried to get Elvis to up his light show in the 1970’s and thats what the Colonel told them. TCB⚡️
Great piece of footage. Sinatra was a big big star right through to the 1990's in his 70's, way beyond Elvis's sad early death..
But Frank was never as big as Elvis.
@@jennyjorgensen9935 Debatable!

This was so good. Thank you.
Awesome reaction! ALL of the American people under age 30 I'm sure tuned in. There were only 3 channels back then, namely ABC, CBS, and NBC. The other 58% of viewers were over age 30 and split between whatever was being broadcast on the other 2 channels. NOTE - His 1968 NBC Comeback Special was the most watched television broadcast of the year and won an Emmy because of it. React to "Trying to Get to you" from that Elvis performance!
I Saw that when I was fifteen now I am 81 years old
The hip shakes were earlier when he was shot just from the waist up in 1957, Elvis the pelvis he was called.
Love this rare footage always, blue eyes and blue suede shoes 🤓 together in the annals of history! Thanks for posting this 🎉
Great clip 🔥🔥🔥
All was waiting for the rock ´n´ roller but, these time was over and Elvis knew it. Not without reason Elvis made more money as others did. They all had 2 years time to be the new Elvis and to grab his crown. Greetings from Germany!
Love Elvis
The studio guys back then were just geniuses at mic placement and so forth. But in addition to overhead and other mics, they also had a thing called an echo chamber that performers stood under for these TV sets.
Echo was only a recording studio thing.
Knew this by audio for 40 years, so thank you to bring up that video now. ❤❤❤
It was his 1st appearance since his Discharge from his 2-year service in the United States Army🇺🇲
I was only 3 weeks old when this performance aired so I never saw this until about 10 years ago. I love seeing him this young and it's fun seeing him with Frank Sinatra. I fell in love with Elvis as a little girl and was a huge fan by the time his 1968 special was broadcast when I was 8. Elvis was 25 here. I think you need to see this clip from his third film performing Jailhouse Rock (also the title of this 1957 film) when he was 22:

you gotta review early Elvis. That's when he was the best. Just run through his early hits. They're all fantastic.
Peace
I've somehow missed this. Thank You!
It was very common for the girls in the audience to scream during the earliest performances in rock-n-roll. Elvis, in particular, drove them wild with excitement during his opening act in the 195o's. When the drugs became more prevalent the noise came down because the audiences were stoned. He was also remembering the firestorm of being censored for his hip thrusts on the Ed Sullivan Show. So, he went to simple head movements to stir up a reaction from the crowd.
This appearance immediately comes after his release from the Army, which is why the sideburns were not there. He went without them for the first years of his movie career and his music landscape underwent a seismic and cultural shift as when the Beatles landed in America after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The British Invasion followed bring moptop haircuts, mutton chop sideburns, and a colorful explosion and relaxing of the way we behaved and dressed.
So, what you are seeing here, is the authethetic last of the Elvis of the decade that borthed him. He was 25 years old, his beloved mother, Gladys, had passed away, and his future was being redefined for his Hollywood carer. My own mother used to say that Elvis was purdy. She was right. He was one handsome devil.
Sinatra was putting out hits long after Elvis died.
Nancy, Frank's daughter, would later appear in Elvis' 1968 film "Speedway". She's best known for her hit "These Boots Were Made For Walking"
What a Great Performance! ELVIS was so handsome and sexy! He was 25 years old! Thank you!
To think if theyd made a duet album later in their careers. This is a gem! ❤
Wow, what a moment American pop culture. Elvis was only 25 years old here &singing on stage with Frank Sinatra-! Info says he was very nervous being on stage with Frank, little did Elvis know how he would be giving Frank a run for his money and more in coming years.
You guys have to check out a few of Elvis' 50s live performances if you wanna see him movin his hips. lol
ELVIS JUST GOT OUT OF SERVING 2 YEARS IN.ARMY
Fantastic review😊
Elvis was not "modeling" himself on Frank...far from it. And definitely no such thing as "passing of the torch". Elvis was and is always on a different level and this show is no different....outshone and still outshines everyone. Fact is, there was and is only one KING OF MUSIC and that's Elvis Presley✌🏼💯⚡❤️
I’m with you Sam
I prefer pre sideburns and jumpsuits ❤
I love Elvis with sideburns and the freedom to BE Elvis. Nothing better!❤
