      I have heard others say Elvis did the stanky leg. He started so many things, bling, Cadillacs, entourage, sideburns, pink and black outfits, jumpsuits, and on and on. He changed the whole culture and influenced so many musicians including MJ. Watch the video of E and MJ dancing to "I Gotta Feelin' in My Body". It is a good one.❤❤❤

Anyways, many years later when I married, I soon found out that my husband was Elvis's 2nd cousin. He told me so many wonderful stories about when they were young and hung out together, but after he married Priscilla, they didn't talk much anymore.
    Later I had a son, and you should hear my son sing!! He has such a wonderful voice, but he refuses to sing in public, so there's that. LOL

    After his world-conquering fame in the 1950s and early 1960s, it's fair to say that Elvis's star was on the wane. His manager, "Colonel" Tom Parker, kept Elvis away from live performance for 7 years, and rather than going into the studio to record great albums, Elvis was churning out bad movie soundtracks for even more bad movies.
    So, it's fair to say that Elvis wasn't all too happy with where he was. He wanted a change, and in 1968, he got it. The clip you watched comes from the legendary 1968 Elvis Comeback TV Special.
    Btw, unbelievably, "Colonel" Tom Parker originally wanted Elvis to perform without any dialogue, wearing a cardigan sweater like that worn by Perry Como, in front of a fireplace and a Christmas tree, and sing 20 Christmas songs. Thank God this idea was squashed....

The only other person that I can think of that was similar was when Robin Williams died.

    My dad loved Elvis. My parents saw Jailhouse Rock at the theater on their first date. 15 to 20 years later, my dad called a radio station to answer an Elvis trivia question while home sick from work one day. Because he got the answer right, they wanted him to come down to the radio station with 2 other finalists for a live Elvis trivia quiz show. My dad won and he and my mom won a trip to Memphis and got to tour Graceland. We live in Kansas and had no money for travel, so this was the first and only time my dad got to go. My dad passes away on my birthday a couple years ago from covid. We fot a puppy about a year later and decided to name him Elvis in honor of my dad. My son and i realized later that Elvis has a little white lightening bolt on his forehead. I had to explain TCB to my son, but it just seemed to be meant to be.

    Elvis' '68 Comeback Special, to be broadcast on NBC, was the first time Elvis was in front of a live audience in seven years. Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis's manager, had told the NBC team that he would handle ticket distribution. He assured them that he would recruit ("bus in") fans from across the country to fill the studio. However, by the day of the show, Parker had not distributed the tickets, and only a few people were in line to see the taping. So, producer-director Steve Binder and his team asked people from a nearby Bob's Big Boy restaurant to attend, and also advertised on local radio.
    For the informal jam session, Elvis, clad in black leather and surrounded by a few hundred, non-paying fans, played with a small group of musicians including guitarist Scotty Moore and percussionist DJ Fontana, who had been members of his 1950s backing band "The Blue Moon Boys."

      I have read about Tom Parker not giving the tickets out. I don’t know if it was an act of sabotage because he didn’t agree with something or he couldn’t be bothered. Luckily, Steve Binder made sure there was an audience for filming.

      it is not his song, in order for it to be his song he must have written it.

    I was born in '68, & not even 10 years later when Elvis died, I felt as though he & his music had been a part of my daily life for as long as I had literally been alive - he was absolutely mesmerizing, even as young as I was. ... I remember the adult females always commenting that God was really showing off when He created Elvis.

    Back then, some radio stations wouldn’t play his music because of his moves and TV would only tape from the waist up for the longest time

      I cried like a baby. I was a nurse in a Neonatal Unit. I came in on night shift and could hardly function because it was like burying my childhood when he died. The young nurses were like "snap out of it". They just didn't get it.

    Elvis incorporated his martial arts moves into his act that was kind of what was going on in 60 eight, danced up out of the swing and the hips and all that stuff back in the early days, there's all else, but he did the old chops and pull it back and whatnot.

    It's hard to believe watching him perform on this special that he thought after he had been in Hollywood making movies for years, people wouldn't want to see him perform live anymore. He was fit and looked great although he said he almost suffocated in that leather outfit. You have to give him the credit due him for paving the way for others. There's a multitude of famous music people who name him as an influence including the Beatles.

      @@kbrewski1 After Elvis Presley died on August 16, 1977, the African American newspaper, the Chicago Defender explained that: “When Elvis Presley breathed his last breath and the press hailed him as the ‘King of Rock,’ Ol’ Man River cried out, ‘Naw he ain’t! My friend Chuck Berry is the King of Rock. Presley was merely a Prince who profited from the royal talent of a sovereign ruler vested with tremendous creativity. Had Berry been white, he could have rightly taken [Presley’s] throne and worn his crown well.’”

    I was playing minor league baseball in Tennessee when Elvis passed and still remember where I was when we got the news.. It was a major blow to most of us, use kids that grew up in the 60’s were treated to 3 Elvis motion pictures in the theaters a year, 31 films total. You could do an all Elvis reaction channel he has recorded around 700 songs give or take a few depending on where you look. I Really like your channel. 🍻
