It is to be said that Johnny gave alot of performance advice to Elvis when they toured together. I believe that is why his impersonation is so spot on. They are both amazing legends in their own right, just branched into two different paths.
Stephen Fiore yes they were, sir. analog television, wether b/w or color, had their picture made out of picture elements, better known as pixels. no need to say thank you, it was a pleasure to me... psst! hey you! (hustle) do you need good pixels? (hustle) very cheap! i sell them for a nickel each
***** Dude, the only one who's complaining is you -- about me. Calm down. Should be clear that what I wrote was a joke. If I was able to make somebody smile with it then my mission is accomplished.
elvicare35 he sure did! He would pull pranks on his band members literally *all the time!* One almost got someone killed though. Elvis once told JD Sumner and his Stamps that there was a disgruntled husband or boyfriend that didn’t like how his woman acted because of Elvis and was going to do him in (this is entirely far fetched since not a whole buncha dudes liked the Elvis, the OG Mr. Steal Ya Girl and had empty threats about it before.) Elvis asked them while they were performing to keep on eye on the crowd and look for anything suspicious. JD and the Stamps all took it seriously and the show went perfectly. Afterwards, Elvis and the Stamps were in his room and two of Elvis’s bodyguards came in with masks and started shooting pistol blanks at Elvis. Everyone jumped behind the furniture and J.D. took Elvis to the ground and shielded him with his own body and thought Elvis was trembling because he was so scared but realized he was laughing. It was a hilarious prank but they didn’t know one of them had a loaded pistol on the counter just a few feet away and it could’ve gone a bit different. But Elvis would do just about anything for a good prank and a great laugh.
james w thanks, read it in Richard Sterban’s book, Elvis To Elvira. Phenomenal book and it covers Richard’s signing career from the Keystone Quartet to singing with J.D. Sumner & The Stamps and when they sang for Elvis and also when he left to join the Oak Ridge Boys. Lots of great history about bass singing, Elvis and of course, the Oaks.
@@sydwhitaker5776 Nope. But people believe it was Elvis because directors of "Walk the Line" film just wrote that into the script. It was fiddle player Gordon Terry that gave Johnny his first introduction to amphetamines in 1957. Many of Johnny biographers have documented this.
Nobody Special No, Cash says, Elvis and I are friendly. Our interactions are rare, we bump into one another, At the airport, im flying out he's just flown in. Its tuff to build relationships in this business.
Absolutely. Johnny wasn't given the credit he deserved. He helped lay the groundwork for a variety of genres. Cash paved the way for rock, punk, and alternative as well as continue the legacy of blues and gospel.
+EWR Gaming you obviously are blinded to what people have said about him. Go back and listen to "I got stripes" and don't tell me that's not rap. Then go listen to his cover of "rusty cage" and don't say he didn't have connections to the alternative genre
Well said Juan! It really is humor in its purest form. Actually they both were each others #1 fan :) They started their amazing careers touring together!
***** I was just kidding and speaking figuratively calm down man don't behave like a 10year old and don't take everything in your life too seriously! :)
***** Have you ever head the term "figure of speech"? Or about using exaggeration in humor or satire? I don't mean L-I-T-E-R-A-L-L-Y that this is an ancient song! Whatever, i am a 10 year old. Your behavior is not the epitome of adulthood either though.
Discovered smule and just feel honoured to be doing duets and collaborations of elvis songs. His songs are timeless and as fresh as the day that he sang them. Massive respect to all on Smule ( especially my friends) that always do justice to his music and sound so good
I think Easy Aspi was saying this "impersonation" was good, and that Johnny didn't get the credit he should have. It's obvious to me. Why do you all think that is some kind of insult? Seriously, explain it if you can't see that that was a nice - if unclear - thing to say.
I love Johnny Cash. This has got to be the most incredibly funny video of Johnny I've ever seen. I knew he was awesome but this takes it to another level of awesome! ROFL! This has got to be some very rare footage. I wish he were still here.
**Crowd Screams** Well...Well Since My Baby Left Me. OWWWWW Back Hurts **Pain Goes Away** Well I Found A New Place To Dwell. **Starts Showing Off Moves** Yea Johnny Get Into It!! **Get Stops** What Was That For? **Plays Guitar For 1 Second** **Burps** **Continues Song** LA LA LA! **Combs Elvis Hair Away** -What I Thought Johnny Cash Thought
Wow, what a historical document. Great sense of humor of Johnny Cash in this impersonation between friends colleagues. It shows his admiration for Elvis.
I knew Johnny could sing any song and make it a thousand times better, but it was by far the most incredible, what a man! It's a shame I was a kid when he passed away and I couldn't see it in live... But God bless the internet!
It's so great that this was recorded and is now 50 years later still there, it was just a little joke then, but nowadays its a legend impersonating a legend :D
Best imitation ever. 485 people didn't like this video? Come on! Where is your sense of humour? It's a friendly imitation, not a jealous one. Not only a great musician but a funny one.
Wow, that was fantastic! All these Sun guys knew each other, and were friends. This is classic footage, and it's so cool that everyone can see it now. It makes me think that times have not changed that much.
This is classic! They toured together and were friends. Johnny even honored Elvis when he passed the following Christmas. I love this and I’m sure Elvis did too. 😂
Mr. Cash, Your the man!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its awesome that we are able to share moments like this one with the technology of today. Im a huge Cash fan and its great when I can see the mans sense of humor like that. Thanks for the vid!!!!!
Of course Elvis played guitar. He played on most of his records. Usually rhythm. Have you watched the 68 comeback special? He played electric guitar throughout.
I always wish I was born much early then I was, to see true performers and legends and such a inspiration to us all like the likes of Elvis &| Johnny cash live. Without a doubt you guys are causing trouble and mixing it up, up their above us lol TRUE LEGENDS ALWAYS !!!
Bobby Darin had 1000 different voices I'm just listening to a playlist and I'm like who's this guy and I see its Bobby and I'm like. LOOKS LIKE HE GOT ME AGAIN

Dont forget. Hes high as a kite at this point in his life lol
LMAO!!!! Just what I was thinking too!!!
From this point until 1969 he's laying the foundations for Slytherin with his bad boy behavior. That's why he's the original.
brad metcalf getting high
who cares
High on what? Just curious.

I love Johnny Cash but If I'd get a dollar for every pixel in this video I'd get 25 cents.

Johnny cash and Elvis were good friends
Elvis introduces him to amphetamines too

Do not make comments about things that you do not know the FACTS. You have not a clue as to what your talking about.

THATS NOT TRUE!
Johnny was more of a rockstar than he's given credit for.
Absolutely. Johnny wasn't given the credit he deserved. He helped lay the groundwork for a variety of genres. Cash paved the way for rock, punk, and alternative as well as continue the legacy of blues and gospel.

To be fair, "Rusty Cage" was just a cover of Sound Garden. He didn't pave the way to anything in terms of that song.
+EWR Gaming
Rockabilly actualy
+EWR Gaming you're an idiot obviously. You ain't ever heard his songs have you?
Who knew Johnny Cash would be one of the first to impersonate Elvis Presley
He said one of the first dipshit
I thought Elvis impersonated Forrest Gump? Lolol
The first “famous” Elvis impersonator
only Johnny Cash can get away with it. both were kings.
Bam...out of nowhere. I came across this random UA-cam golden nugget. This is some classic shit.
McShave how did I get here?
Amazing funny how the small momments mean so much
Internet is awesome
I'm here via wanted man with Bob Dylan !
1980- no 2019 its the time
Hilaric, Elvis Presley was Johnny Cash #1 fan, and him making this impersonation is humor in its purest form.
Well said Juan! It really is humor in its purest form. Actually they both were each others #1 fan :) They started their amazing careers touring together!
Hilaric?
He said it was a guy impersonating a guy who impersonates Elvis.
That is called ancient TROLLING!
Ancient is something a 10 year old would bring up. Its old and classic yeah, but never 'ancient' :)

johnny cash's sense of humor is one of the things i like best about him. That and his monster 9 inch pompadour.
JG Fireshtick you spelled penis wrong
9 inch..
think he's compensating for something?
think he's compensating for something?
Perfect Elvis burp!!!...hahahaha
Johnny is soooo stoned here!
@4444 9999 Nah it's hillarious
4444 9999 no Johnny cash was addicted to drugs for a while but he is not really friends with Elvis he was just on the same tour as him for a while
We know he was addicted and it's funny.
spartan113ish addiction is never funny.
I saw J Cash and family at the Oakland Coliseum in Feb 1969.
The Carter Family, Marty Robbins and Jr, The Statlers.
The best show I have ever seen.
O wow that’s a while back, I wish I was alive to see that
Wow!! Johnny Cash had the moves as well !! FANTASTIC !!
I think it was just something they wanted to see back then... Johnny and Elvis impersonating each other. Very entertaining .. lol.
Discovered smule and just feel honoured to be doing duets and collaborations of elvis songs. His songs are timeless and as fresh as the day that he sang them. Massive respect to all on Smule ( especially my friends) that always do justice to his music and sound so good
Elvis had to literally piss him self watching this. Classics man
love both of them........missed forever....god bless america..luv from scotland x
Johnny Cash and Elvis both recorded music at Sun Records. They were friends and respected each other. This is great.
This is awesome.
Had no idea Johnny Cash could be so comedic. He's really funny in this.
Can't help but fall in love with this, so cute!! Love Johnny Cash!
Johnny Cash was greatly under-rated.
What? I really hope this is sarcasm.
He kinda has his own museum...bar from writing his name in the moon what would he need to be adequately rated?
People who say famous show biz people are underrated are underbrained.
Dandramere lol solid

This has made my day 😂😂😂
Man, I know Johnny Cash was full of talent, but this is a surprise, great impersonator too.
I love Johnny Cash. This has got to be the most incredibly funny video of Johnny I've ever seen. I knew he was awesome but this takes it to another level of awesome! ROFL! This has got to be some very rare footage. I wish he were still here.
00:56 - me when I try to sing anything
😂
This is brilliant, who knew a this existed!!! Reminds me of Eddie Murphy impersonating Elvis.
**Crowd Screams** Well...Well Since My Baby Left Me. OWWWWW Back Hurts **Pain Goes Away** Well I Found A New Place To Dwell. **Starts Showing Off Moves** Yea Johnny Get Into It!! **Get Stops** What Was That For? **Plays Guitar For 1 Second** **Burps** **Continues Song** LA LA LA! **Combs Elvis Hair Away**
-What I Thought Johnny Cash Thought
Who in this earth would thumbs down this? He was awesome, a legend that will never be forgotton!
Never seen this side of Johnny, this is an amazing video.
RIP Johnny Cash...this is true evidence of how unique he and his fellow musicians of that time really were.
Wow, what a historical document. Great sense of humor of Johnny Cash in this impersonation between friends colleagues. It shows his admiration for Elvis.
Elvis probably pissed his pants laughing. too funny.
WHO COULDN'T LOVE THIS,JOHNNY AT HIS FUNNIEST.
Johnny Cash is the man 😂😂
+Sergio Bejar The Man In Black.
I knew Johnny could sing any song and make it a thousand times better, but it was by far the most incredible, what a man! It's a shame I was a kid when he passed away and I couldn't see it in live... But God bless the internet!
I had forgotten just how funny Johnny was. Thank You for sharing this!
Hilarious! Two unique and talented greats Johnny and Elvis. I bet they are goofing around in the heavens.
Cash as Presley.. I love it
he looks like Joey Tribbiani in the thumbnail lol
Not a bad impersonation. I've always loved Johnny Cash- I never knew he could do Elvis. Rock on everyone.
Love it! I always thought they were 2 of a kind.
Thank you- thank you very much ;)
It's so great that this was recorded and is now 50 years later still there, it was just a little joke then, but nowadays its a legend impersonating a legend :D
Oh come on guys take this lightly he was only joking
It was quite a funny impression I must say
And I'm and elvis fan
Danny Ton they were friends.
Danny Ton I'm a huge Elvis fan and I don't think it's funny at all!
Johny and Elvis admired each other a lot.
Danny Ton ehm. Who wasn’t
Bite Me chill you can even see that the performance was a joke
Damn! Laughed my ass off. Miss u John R Cash.
was just a bloke, living a dream, alongside elvis, what a life
F#CK YEAH, JOHNNY YOU'RE THE KING!
Best imitation ever. 485 people didn't like this video? Come on! Where is your sense of humour? It's a friendly imitation, not a jealous one. Not only a great musician but a funny one.
Oh buddy this is so funny!!! Haha
This is an incredible and awesome video clip, I wish you had it in better quality...however, thanks for sharing this, it is still amazing and rare.
Didn't know Johnny was so funny :) love this. And people need to understand he was just joking, no hate towards Elvis I'm sure
And he was high too lol
Elvis actually once did a Johnny Cash impersonation signing Folsom Prison Blues and I Walk The Line at the International in Vegas.
Wow, that was fantastic! All these Sun guys knew each other, and were friends. This is classic footage, and it's so cool that everyone can see it now.
It makes me think that times have not changed that much.
I bet Johnny is high on something that night and Elvis too hahaha !!!
the best Elvis impersonation ever
Elvis' version him in Las Vegas is really funny too
You can't tell me Jonny Cash didn't have a scene of humor.
I've been reading a book about Johnny Cash and read that everyone thought he was out of control and lost his mind when he did this.
Haha! That's the best Elvis impression I've ever seen.
Hilarious! I love it!
Elvis sings John, and John sings Elvis. Is like God sings to God. 2 icons of the time
1:07 when you play the guitar well
This is classic! They toured together and were friends. Johnny even honored Elvis when he passed the following Christmas. I love this and I’m sure Elvis did too. 😂
He did this when I saw him at the Palace Theater in Jacksoville, Fla in the late 50's. He put on a fantastic show in a small venue. Loved it!
This is perfect! Totally made my day..nah scratch that it made my week :D
Amelia Vernon dammnn, what a shitty life you have
Ironically enough...
You're the irrelevant parasite that feels an unnecessary obligation to crap on someone's mood.. 👏
Amazing!!!!!
what a great combination of famous peoples :) fun!
Very funny ... 😂😂😂😂 Johnny Cash always spoke about Elvis with great respect. The respect was mutual.
Mr. Cash, Your the man!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its awesome that we are able to share moments like this one with the technology of today. Im a huge Cash fan and its great when I can see the mans sense of humor like that. Thanks for the vid!!!!!
Lol de had me crying of laughter after that move he did at 1:08
Same
He was high af then 😂
Where the heck did you find this?! THis is EPIC!!
hahahahaha cash is king!!!!!!!!
Didn't know he could be so damn funny.
RIP Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley. Two great singers and preformers that never disappointed an audience. I never seen that clip but I love it.
I just fell in love with Johnny Cash all over again. That was so cool.
1:07 OMFG LOL!!!!
Of course Elvis played guitar. He played on most of his records. Usually rhythm. Have you watched the 68 comeback special? He played electric guitar throughout.
Have no idea why i was recommended this but i loved every second of it
Haha go on Johnny he had a laugh at Elvis there popping the hips out of place 😂😂
Maybe if he wasn’t high his impression on Elvis would be way better
I always wish I was born much early then I was, to see true performers and legends and such a inspiration to us all like
the likes of Elvis &| Johnny cash live. Without a doubt you guys are causing trouble and mixing it up, up their above us lol
TRUE LEGENDS ALWAYS !!!
You and me both I will love to meet buddy holly and others

erkan mehmet
Sexnackeddance
Bobby Darin had 1000 different voices I'm just listening to a playlist and I'm like who's this guy and I see its Bobby and I'm like. LOOKS LIKE HE GOT ME AGAIN
erkan mehmet If you were born much earlier you would
1. Have to pay to experience this kind of music, or any at all.
2. Be dead or dying by now
Wonder what Elvis thought of this lol
Love how he just pulls out that comb on stage 😅🤣
LOL Love them both they were such great friends too! They were so close!
I love how the video quality isn't even mentioned in the settings
It's meant to be funny and it is. Think Elvis loved it
Elvis did I read, E also took the piss out of John in a Walk the Line song rip-off lol, they were buddies. Cheers Glenn.
He's only missing a jar of peanut butter.
Man all 5 of these pixels look great!
1:09 He's going to break his back in 2 seconds LOL it's funny for me!
jc could do that - they were friends- and respect eachother - miss both !!
this is the best
2019 anyone?
"We hope you enjoyed that impersonation of Roy Acuff" . lol
that was very entertaining. Just shows you how talented Johnny is.
This is awesome.
lol he probably had more manners then Elvis lol
Sir McNugget Than Elvis. Bloody illiterate people.
Johnny does a better Elvis impersonation than Elvis haha!
Lol i love Johnny Cash but this is too funny.
High as a kite. God bless both of them.
