I won't water this down. Elvis Presley was the greatest performer of all time.
It was his tribute to doctor Martin Luther King Junior also Bobby Kennedy he admired them so much. He was emotionally, mentally and physically exhausted after singing that. His passion came through loud and clear.
I don't know if it's true,but I like to believe it is,but I read after this performance he actually went back stage and broke down and cried.This performance was just that important and emotional to him.
I Ditto this !! ❤
Oooh Patrick do I see you fixen to react to Bridge Over Troubled Waters ??!!! Oh yes let's watch. ❤
I've read he cried when he got offstage
@@stephanietip it's true! Many of the words are directly MLK's words. RFK played on King's dream theme when he said he mentions George Bernard Shaw's quote and he flips it. I love that RFK meme, " I dream things that never were, and think why not." He died shortly after that!
If everyone could wake up each morning and listen to Elvis sing, "If I can Dream," I know we could all be better than we are. A true and beautiful tribute to Dr. King.
I'm so grateful for the young people that are discovering the greatness of Elvis. thank you.
I've said the same thing!
King elvis
I’ve told my son, there’s hope! He only likes classic music, and I told him there’s this renaissance going on. It’s beautiful! Keep pushing! ❤️💚
Who is Elvis
The total package. 2nd to None
This is the REASON
Why
Mr Elvis Presley
is the 👑.
The Man , the voice.
Elvis for ever 👑
👍🏼🎸🎼🤟🏼
Elvis touches your soul with everything he sings
King elvis
Elvis worried he would be forgotten when he died. I hope wherever he is, he knows that all these decades later he is still the King and he can still touch people’s souls with his voice. And now, thanks to the new movie, another generation is getting introduced to this incredible incredible man and his music.
That's our Elvis. He sang from his heart and soul....and he is missed so much.
Eternal. Gone, never ever forgot.
Elvis was not only a great Singer but a great Humanitarian also !He cared about people and tried to help as many as he could throughout his life! There are many, many stories of his kindness and generosity!
Elvis was more than just an amazing performer. He was born dirt poor, served his country and made himself the man he became. Listen to “In the Getto”, a song directly from his heart. His gospel music is phenomenal too
Considering he did all of that as well I salute him as a King. Yes. I’m going to add that to my playlist right now. Thank you kindly!! 💯🙌🏿
@@awordfrompresidentpat1484 Elvis never liked being called king. He always said there's only 1 king, and that's the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. How humble is that...the only one to be in all 5 Music Halls of Fame, set attendance records, set sales records, still has a world-wide fan base, had a BILLION PEOPLE WORLDWIDE watch the very first live global satellite television concert, etc...to say he's no king, just a man? He was raised up right!
@@michaelfarmer9472 He was a Mortal King, by the people's choice, not a Heavenly King, and he knew the difference!
@@awordfrompresidentpat1484 You won’t regret it, I promise!
yes he did.
he also was the only one in America to be born dirt poor and, he also was the only one in the whole of America to serve in the army.
what a guy!
Elvis wrote the song in the ghetto too!
come down off the cross you fool we can use the wood.
There is something SO GOSPEL about Elvis's singing and his back up singers! He sang that with every single part of his heart and soul. The backing singers cried after that performance they were so moved. They said they'd never heard him sing like that. He was truly speaking to God in that performance!
I am glad young people are seeing Elvis for who he was.
I grew up in Memphis and Elvis was just so special, he was so sad about MLK and Bobby Kennedy. SUCH EMOTION💙
all for the show. Just like Elvis. Couldn't be bothered going to the funeral! All talk no action.
King elvis
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 you talk out of ignorance. Every year the man wrote hundreds of $1,000 checks for various charities and didn't want it out in the public. The man found out about a black lady in Memphis who had no legs and got around by handles on top of skates. Elvis went out and bought her the most expensive electric wheel chair one could by at that time. Doing a show in Texas, Texas did not want Elvis to bring his black back up singing girls. Elvis said if they don't come then I don't come. And had them driven out special in front of the audience. One of his cooks at Graceland was a sweet black lady named Mary. Not only did Elvis pay her a great salary, he also bought her a house as a gift. These are only a very small of the ACTION this man did. What have you done?
@@cliffkelley6550 I am not the one on display.
But if you must know I am a retired psychologist and lawyer and donate all my time working with underprivileged and abused children. Elvis was and always will be a marionette to the greatest puppeteer.
Any of these charities black organizations?
So he had a black housekeeper, was this job beneath a white person? or was he typecasting what white America had planned for the?.
@@cliffkelley6550 don’t reply to haters Elvis was not just a gifted singer he was an amazing human being. He was emotionally and physically destroyed after that performance and sobbed backstage
When he got to the line "out there in the dark there's a beckoning candle" is my favorite part because his voice and aura of his being hits you all at once and your just blown away of his passion and talent!
Sung alive, No Autotune! Just pure talent!
Sung alive as opposed to being dead? Sung LIVE!!!!
Some people are born for the modern studio, but back then, if you couldn’t sing live, you were done. I believe Soul Train of all shows was the first or one of to insist on lip syncing. A lot of shows had to be live on the spot. You didn’t get a second chance.
Welcome To The Family❤️😉
King elvis
Elvis is the best
Honestly, this is probably my favorite Elvis song of all time. Just the amount of emotion behind it alone... spectacular performance.
Ecstatic this song is getting exposure, we all need this type of inspiration right now. My parents always listened to Elvis while I was growing up, I was very fortunate to be exposed to his incredible voice at a young age. This song is one of my favorites.
Elvis actually sang in a Black Baptist Chuch Choir - The East Trigg - while in high school. He loved Gospel and you can hear that influence in this song .
Elvis was amazing and still is ..no one like him !!!!
After this performance, he walked backstage, collapsed on the floor, curled up into a fetus position, and cried. Great reaction.
Wow really. Bless him. He was exhausted. Amazing performance . Special man . Gifted .
Appreciate you delving into the legend that is Elvis ! I'm 76 and this performance always brings tears to my eyes! There will never be another artist like him, but as good as he was , he was a better man in his treatment of his fellow human beings!!
Do you happen to be related?
I wish ... just a huge fan !!!
Truth!
@@evelynmabe7877 I'm actually related to Elvis. His daddy was my paternal grandpa's cousin. I just wish I had gotten to meet him. He was an awesome man. My family loved him very much.
Elvis had a philosophy that each and every performance he gave should be as if he is debuting a song for the first time. He wanted his audience to walk away feeling like it was the first show they attended every time he performed. When he was on stage nothing else mattered but the fans. He truly performed for the love of his fans. He didn't feel his contributions as a singer were enough. He loved this country and he loved his fans. Maybe someday you'll get to meet him if witness protection will ever let him emerge from hiding. He truly is the king.
I remember the first time I saw and heard Elvis do this song. It was the closest thing I will ever have to a religious experience. Even now, years later, I still get goosebumps.
You put it perfectly. I'm not religious and tweet I felt the torch of love the touch of god ❤️
I respect your decision to react to Elvis's solo version of this song after the slamming you took over the duet version. I think they're both beautiful. Personally, as an Elvis fan since 1956, it brings me joy to watch you discover his unique and extraordinary talent.
I agree! Of course this is the MUST SEE, but the Celine duet is beautiful for for sevl reasons as well: her voice, the amazing technology, and it introduced yet another generation to Elvis! The last to me is the most beautiful of all.
Efecctivament, veure com joves admiren i valoren l'art i el talent d Elvis, m'agrada i em complau molt. Gràcies 💓🎵🎸🎤Elvis per sempre
@@howrued1500 I agree! However, only this performance is the anthem. This is the one that will be remembered and what people will feel most connected to, the original. I enjoyed the heck out of the Celine duet tho! :)
@@stevepomeroy-rockin-pa-realtor Oh hello Steven Pomeroy. I see once again you are trolling another Elvis reaction. You obviously have double standards.
Elvis is the best
A stunning performance. Pitch perfect.
Elvis has sold more than a billion albums world wide he has more platinum doble platinum and gold records then any group band or singer in history
He will remain The King❤️
The passion he had in this performance is the greatest of all time.
So glad a whole new generation has woken to the greatness of Elvis Presley. 🙏
One of the most stunning preformence ever out there! Truly grateful and excited
Gospel by ELVIS is soul deep
So glad I found this today. I love when a young person begins to "get" Elvis. His voice is a gift for the ages. I grew up listening to his records and watched his very first TV appearance. He only got better with time. His spirituals have no equal for me. What a God-given talent we all are blessed to witness, whether 70 years ago like myself or yesterday like so many others. Thank you for appreciating him.
THIS REACTION WAS WORTH IT ALL!!!! 👏👏👏👏
This song Elvis made a point of singing on his 68' Comeback Special as a tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King
42 is no age to die, but the impact he made in those 42 years is ridiculous. I wasn't even part of this world when he passed away, but he, posthumously, helped to shape my music taste from a very young age. I'm 41 now and I still find myself listening to his music. If that doesn't speak to people about what an extraordinary talent Elvis Presley is/was, then I honestly don't know. People will still be discussing his music when I'm long gone.
I loved the comment on the video stating the media made him out like a ladies man but was real, raw and amazingly talented. We need to remember that his voice was so strong and vibrant that’s why I adore him so much. ❤❤❤❤❤ I love your explanation of his singing style he is and always will be The King. Emotions are so high right now gotta calm down thank you for this video.
I love seeing young people discover Elvis .Now you see greatness .Live,raw,clear ,soulful ...yup wow !!
1986 Inducted into rock ‘n’ roll Hall of fame.
1998 inducted into country Hall of fame.
2001 inducted into gospel Hall of fame.
Only one
There will never be another one like him. Please do " An American Trilogy" from the Aloha in 73. Thank you sir, greetings from Greece 🇬🇷
BOOM, You just felt his SOUL ! I was blessed, I grew up with him in my life! I lived listening to his rock, his soul, his gospel, his crazy antics, Everything Elvis. Elvis's gospel songs was huge in my Church! All the men tried to be him! It was crazy!
This is Elvis's best performance ever.😊🌏
This is a voice that is untouched by computers to.My all time favorite performer ever
Elvis is the only person that puts so much passion and emotion and strong and powerful voice that he puts you under his spell
I never appreciated him during his lifetime, I was 18 in 1977. I re-discovered him in my 30s, plus his image is iconic. His gospel is the best.
I love seeing the reaction to people as they listen to this song. I've heard this song hundreds of times and I still get tears and goosebumps. Elvis is The GOAT- Greatest singer of all time, as is this song. If only this could be a global Anthem, to bring people together, instead of dividing and tearing apart.
Elvis is the best of us when he sings. Love to all here.
I can listen to this song all the time and still get chills just listening to it
Elvis and you took me to church. Great reaction
I never get tired of this... Amazing man our Elvis :)

King elvis
There are no words how great Elvis was
Thank you for your great reaction
He's the greatest singer, performer with the biggest heart. Check out Elvis' generosity and the things he did for people with out anybody knowing about it. I heard recently that Elvis encountered a young child at his concert that was blind. He got on stage and hugged her and gave her a scarf. Then after the show she was asked backstage to see Elvis. Elvis gave her a check for $50,000 and tickets to all his concerts and travel arrangements and accomodations. He had a giant loving heart.
Elvis didn't hoard up his money. He used to to make himself happy but also to help others and make others happy. He gave away massive amounts of money during his lifetime.
Best performance from Elvis. And best song. No doubt. Definitely do “ in the Ghetto” and “ suspicious minds” . Two totally different songs, both amazing
Try to listen to “💙Blue Christmas with Elvis “🙏. From Denmark 🇩🇰
You need to listen to I will never fall in love again, just pretend, undeniably blue… he recorded well over 400 songs and has sold more albums than any other singer or group in history…
That whole special was incredible. It was very of its time but also timeless. The opening to this special is great, too. He opens with a badass rendition of the blues banger Trouble from King Creole followed by the rockabilly song Guitar Man written by Jerry Reed.
Great reaction! I am so pleased that the younger people are finding out about this unparalleled entertainer. I have seen quotes from other well known greats and many have said that this is the greatest live performance ever. Elvis was and is the King.
Excellent reaction, it will be interesting to follow your Elvisjourney.
it will probably end up in the toilet just like Elvis.
better stay away from Elvis.
Elvis is unmatchad
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425
Is that a comment of an intelligent person???
Not imo!
Sorry, but this is a comment of an Elvis hater!
It has nothing to do with Elvis the singer and artist.
It's disrespectful, destructive,
but first of all it's tasteless!
@@alameas6358 yes you are correct
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425
Honestly?
Oder in meiner Sprache......
Ehrlich gemeint?
There is no mistaking this song was a straight up petition of prayer right from the stage and he even waves it out into the audience before he grounds that intention into the earth at the end. His energetic field is so vast and he wields it through his heart and throat chakra as he sings. A perfect example of sharing the gifts God gave you in service to others.
*Nashville had Country Music, Memphis had Blues and Soul,*
*Elvis had the Voice and Rhythm and became the King of Rock & Roll;*
Everyone will love Elvis especially after this magnificent performance❤️
They didn't want him to end with this song but he insisted, it meant a lot to him
Another amazing reaction. Lots of younger people are now realising how fantastic this man and his voice truly are. ❤️
Elvis is one of the most recognized & famous people in music history, & no doubt, one of the most talented, however his heart & love for humanity, is his true legacy 💗💜 I wish with every fiber of my being, that his dream would come true right now!!! 💗💜 RIP **Martin Luther King** RIP **Robert Kennedy** RIP **Elvis Presley** 💗💜 3 amazing men, who tried to change the world for the better, in their own unique ways, & paid the ultimate price💗 ****Luv your reaction **** 💗 You have no idea how happy it makes long time Elvis fans, likes us, discover just how talented he was, with a heart of gold!!!
Elvis had the greatest VOICE of the twentieth century. Where you been. Canada
I absolutely love your heartfelt reaction to this song by Elvis. It's so gratifying to see other people effected as much as I was.
I discovered this video back in 2008, while singing as a regular at karaoke, and I was so moved, I learned it, as accurately in his delivery as possible. It was a workout - not only singing-wise, but emotionally - it brings up feelings that both added power to my voice, and other parts would suck the wind right out of me, and I would start sobbing - and have to stop, take a break, and try again. When I finally felt ready, after working this song for a week or more, I sung it at open-mic night, and was so energized by it, I nailed it, full voice, all my feeling came thru full force.
I don't do Elvis impersonations or anyone else, but when I find someone's performance of a song that just absolutely sends me - I just have to emulate them as closely as possible; I want to sound like THAT...
Elvis did the same thing, with opera singers especially, later in his life.
He met a guy named Roy Hamilton, and I kid you not - Elvis spent the remaining years working up that crazy-good vibrato... emulating Hamilton's style very, very closely.
Here's the link to Roy Hamilton's song that caught my attention, so much that I edited my own video of Hamilton, leading to my discovering these two met and became friends;
ua-cam.com/video/cdgkyZ4amS8/v-deo.html
Elvis knew what worked, and was an incredible student of singing. I think he was the greatest self-taught singer of all. So I took his example, and sang that song, breath for breath, exactly like him, and for the first time, I had people coming up to me smiling thru tears, crying, thanking me. In that moment, I finally understood what it felt like to be a conduit, part of something so big, that I had just been picked up by, carried for a bit, and put gently back down again, on the ground.
This is a very special song.
Elvis loved MANKIND, all people. He has such a kind soul!!!!
Bless him Lord, in Jesus Christ name, Amen.
NO ONE COULD MATCH ELVIS EVER!!!!
That performance is my all time favorite of his. Gives me goosebumps every time. There’s a reason they call him the King. The rabbit hole of Elvis is one of the most amazing things a person can jump into. Love Elvis & his story
Neatly put! I agree. I’m enjoying my Elvis rabbit hole journey right now. Peace
"If I Can Dream" was written by Walter Earl Brown with Presley in mind for the grand finale on NBC's "Elvis", known as Elvis' ‘68 Comeback Special (June 20-23).
After Presley heard the demo, he proclaimed "I'm never going to sing another song I don't believe in. I'm never going to make another movie I don't believe in." In his nine years remaining, he kept his promise. Being the grand finale of the 1968 Elvis special is why Elvis says "Thank you, good night."
(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_I_Can_Dream)
The special was actually in December.
He always left it all on the field.
Perhaps the first & one of the few times he bucked Col Tom Parker, his predatory Manager. The Col wanted him to close out the show w a Christmas song.
This was my Mom’s fav Elvis song, followed by In The Ghetto and then Walk a Mile In My Shoes.
A GREAT ONE TO REACT TO:
Elvis & The Black Community: That Echo Will Never Die
Really enjoyed this reaction; Thank You!❤️💙
I agree, I was born in the early 70’s with his movies, but his later songs show the power of his voice. He was supposedly kind, generous and also bullied for growing up on the “wrong side of the tracks,” which probably gave him his great talents, acceptance, and kindness. Thank you for sharing this with the younger generation and showing appreciation for Elvis. I think he wanted to be known for his music much more than just a heartthrob.
Elvis was unique. There will never be another voice like his. His voice was a gift from God to the world. His voice just got better and better. He knew music likes no one else I know. I've always been an Elvis fan. His obvious love for God was evident in that her was not ashamed to sing gospel songs during his live performances.
Pat, don't beat yourself too. much on not knowing what and who Elvis was. Its quite easy for younger generation who didn't live around the time, too easily forget about the past, and that's why the statement that history repeats itself when one forgets, exists. The main thing is that you have found it. And that's cool.
"That man is definitely The King."
If I Can Dream is such a wonderful song, delivered with unbelievable passion and emotion from Elvis, as you noted.
As many here will tell you, it was his tribute to Dr Martin Luther King, slain in that same year of 1968. The message is, sadly, as relevant as ever. Elvis didn't sing many socially conscious songs, but the few that he did haven't aged. That's both good (in terms of his music catalogue) and bad (in terms of society).
You make so many pertinent observations and your shocked reaction reminds me of the first time I heard it decades ago; I couldn't believe it was the same Elvis Presley of Don't Be Cruel, It's Now Or Never and all those fluffy 1960s movies because this is next-level Elvis Presley. I wish we could've had more like it.
I'm glad you will take a deep dive into more Elvis. Note - he's like a box of chocolates without the menu card; you just never know which Elvis you're going to get.

@@Gooneress
1. I totally agree!
2. You are closer to the truth than you think!
Elvis is a humble Person
After his performance, the band started crying because it was so powerful and they saw that he put his entire soul into it and deeply cared about what he was saying
That's why they call him The King.
This was from his 1968 comeback special . I'm lucky enough to have witnessed this performance live. I believe it was aired on NBC.
Watched it as a kid and it was the talk the next day at school, kind if like watching a Heavyweight world title fight.
The man had the looks, Charisma and talent!
I watched it in my late 20's. I had been an Elvis fan, but when I heard him sing this I was completely blown away. It is just indescribable.
My fave song from his. This rendition is amazing. Although there are many. I have known Elvis the name and some of his songs all my life (I´m 37) but had not really listened to him until recently. He deserves the legnd category for sure. He seems like a nice human being and he is absolutely captivating to watch. Reminds me of Whitney and the likes in that regard.
You and me both. I’m 36 and I’ve always knew Elvis. But, never like this. This song is definitely legendary and inspirational. I honestly really love his music now. 💯🙌🏿
As a Elvis Lover for over 50 yrs IMHO this is the greatest performance of any artist of all time You can feel every word to the core of your body if this doesn't make a person feel what the words and his vocals as well as you can see his emotions as well and if you know the history behind the song I think you will agree .Ps Love ❤️ your reaction ty for sharing and one other thing this song is still so very relevant in these times
I am 57 and I have been watching everything about Elvis!!!!
Amazing!!!
I watched this performance at the age of 13, although already totally a fan of Elvis and blown away, I never realized the true significance of this song until many years later. Thank you for your recognition of his vocal and impassioned performance.
BTW Patrick I really enjoy your enthusiastic response to my musical idol, Elvis. As you progress through your journey I think you will be surprised by Elvis’ versatility as well as his ability to connect to his audience at an emotional level.
A beautiful song! Makes me cry
When he sings this I get goosebumps from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet !!!
He was a versatile singer sang gospel, country, blues, R&B, funk, he is the only singer in all music hall of fames. Reconsider Baby R&B version, Make The World Go Away Vegas live 1970, Polk Salad Annie Vegas 1970, Washed my Hands in Muddy Water, Elvis has an extensive catalog of over 800 songs. Happy discovery fun fact there are songs in other languages that he sings. Happy hunting!
what funk song did he sing?
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 he has a funky song titled If You Talk in Your Sleep he has others with a funky beat. You have to explore Elvis you will be surprised.
@@sherrera66 that is not funk.
do you know what funk is?

Try listening to Elvis. “there’s always me”. Beautiful
Please react to "I BELIEVE", which he sang when he was 22 and could be heard as a Gospel song or a motivational song! It is absolutely beautiful!!! You will be shocked at his vocals at such a young age! It absolutely sounds current; not as if it were sung in the 1950's! He was outstanding then...and 70 years later it sounds as if it were recorded in 2022! Thanks for a wonderful reaction to "IF I CAN DREAM", which in my opinion, is one of his best songs! Also, if you haven't, please react to "I CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU"! I think that it is the most beautiful song that he EVER recorded!!! You are rapidly becoming my favorite reactor to ELVIS, yet! You, my friend, are appreciated!!!
Through his music, Elvis had a way to bring people together.
Elvis was born in Tupelo, and spent most of his life living in Memphis.
He had both life and music influences from almost every American culture, which made him a fantastic person and artist.
Elvis was one of the few who did not forget where they came from.
We could use a few more people like him today.
Welcome to the rest of the world of music. We're glad you're here!
Pat ur one of my favorite reactors please watch Elvis and the black community that echo will never die you will really enjoy it ty for the Elvis songs u play thank you!!!!
You need to watch pt1 and pt2 please he was not a racist it will prove it. It's called Elvis and the Black community. Brandi Modrak XOXO and XOXO means hugs and Kisses to all.
If you haven’t heard him sing How Great Thou Art you are in for an amazing performance. Incredible
Stunning performer and Elvis was color blind! Wonderful tribute to Dr. King!!
a beautiful song sung by a beautiful man and it still gives me goosebumps "wow"
I first heard this powerful song in the Elvis movie (have seen it 6x so far). This is absolutely the most powerful and emotional song I've ever heard!
Elvis sang with so much passion and heart ❤️ I feel this song everyone I hear it, just amazing
Thanks for your very honest and emotional comments on hearing Elvis sing this beautiful song...gives me chills and tears every time !! Elvis was and always will be The King in the minds of so many both old and young !!! Elvis lives on thru all of us that love him still !!
His most powerful performance ever he put so much passion and emotion into it awesome thank you so much 👍✌👏
Try listening to Kentucky Rain. Beautifully done by Elvis 🙂
You’re just at the beginning. He was a dominant force in music for his 20 years in music. The man could sing anything. Thanks for the time you put in.
Yes he could, and many people exploited that, and used him! He was humble man, didn't like conflict, so he did what ever he was told to do, UNTIL, they tried to hurt the people he loved and cared cared about. Then he found his spine!
and died as a drug taker.
what a guy.
something for your children to aspire to.
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 bring human is tough. Being so famous you can’t leave your house. Feeling so responsible for the hundreds of people that you employed from their youth to their death. Yeah, horrible example. We all have struggles. I’m sure your life is perfect and youve never had issues you didn’t know how to handle or You worked so hard your body collapsed and you had to rest. It must be difficult living the high pressure life YOU have which makes you judgmental and petty. Elvis changed the world. Tell me what your contributions to humanity have been?
Elvis the only one king
King elvis everything else is Bullshit
I still get chills every time I listen to this song. I am 59 and have loved Elvis since I was a child..
His voice was so unique. No one else sounded like him. He always put 150% into each performance even in his last years when he was burdened with health issues. Thank you for your reaction to Elvis. 😊
I found a video that I'd love to see you react to: ELVIS - 5 songs from April 9th, 1972 Hampton Roads, Virginia (12:29). It shows Elvis's talent, vocal ability, versatility, humor, passion, etc. all in under 13 minutes.
I'm 56 years old and have been a fan of Elvis all of my life. Your reaction to my all time favorite Elvis song is amazing. I'm so proud of you.... That's the reaction that's intended. This is exactly why Elvis is the King Of Rock and Roll!! I cry every time I hear this song and just like back then, this song is so true for the times we are in right now. Thank you for playing this song and for your genuine reaction.
Elvis was devastated by the assassination of Martin Luther King & Kennedy (his friends), he was determined to express his feelings. It was a tribute to them, he wasn't supposed to sing this on the show... but he did it anyway. And he did... Elvis was the Man, the King !!!
