"Everybody needs a little bit of Elvis Presley in their lives." That's the truest statement I've ever heard. Listening to Elvis has made me a better man.
The man was just impressive at every junction of his life. He had powerful lungs to hit those notes. Fact: at a concert he took off a ring and gave it to a little girl in the audience in a wheelchair. His security saw it and walked up to her mother and told her to watch she didn't lose it because it was a $30,000 ring. He did these types of things regularly.
I was in the audience twice in Baton Rouge and once in Mobile from 1975-1977, and saw him perform this song live in all three concerts. His delivery was just as effortless and powerful as this, and you could feel the whole arena tremble around you each time when he hit those notes.
Fun fact: Elvis loved opera. He later in his career included more opera quality notes in his songs. You can see in this song how powerful his voice is. 💗
Love this song. Everytime I hear him hit the first note on that chorus, I get the chills. You can tell by his eyes on the second part of the song that he truly and emotionally connects with it. Elvis will forever be the one and only KING of rock.
He’s a beautiful person.. He can sing any song !! Such love & humility from Elvis.. Every time he sings he touches lives.. Never made a concert but I was listening to him on radio when he made his first record. Yes I’m an oldie..
Amazing performance from Elvis he sang it with so much passion n emotion all I know the ring was an 8 carat diamond no idea of the cost What now my love is another great one thank you both stay safe 😷✌
This is why WE call him KING, to this day nobody can touch this man, 1973, just ELVIS and a mic. that is a STRONG VOICE!!! CK. out AMERICAN TRILOGY from the same concert.
The first part was too because, when Gladys ( his Mom ) died, Vernon ( his Dad ) blamed Elvis and, when Vernon had a heart attack, he blamed Elvis! That's why he loved that song, it was his life through and, through!
Thank you guys so much god bless you always 🙏 amen thanks for your reaction to the 👑of music ❤ 💯⚡ TCBTLC ⚡ 🇺🇸🇵🇷☝👍🙋 stay healthy and safe and careful 🤒🤕and your family family,🌹🎸🎶🎼🎤
Wonderful, thank you for that.. one of my favourite 70’s Elvis song. I know a couple that were at that concert back in January of 73..the money raised at that concert went to the Kui Lee cancer fund
Elvis presley was the greatest singer a Entertainer that ever lived in the 20 th century. Loved Elvis Presley ever since king creole. I grew up on him a his music a movies. Nobody can sing like this beautiful emotional gorgeous man.
I agree Sandy. The KING always lifted my spirits when I was low. He has owned my heart for most of my life! The only Sad devastating day he ever gave me and his throngs of fans was August 16,1977 RIP GODS SPEED ELVIS.
I would suggest after each song that you listen to the audience applaud because that's part of the show in the greatest that impacts the viewer watching you react!
This song was first recorded by Frankie Laine in 1968 and was written by country singer/NASCAR driver Marty Robbins, who was a friend of Elvis. Elvis never recorded a studio version of this song, but it became a regular part of his live shows. I never heard him sing a bad version of it, and it became one of his favorite songs.
You feel every word when he sings just like he does. He was and is a true American Icon. He changed music and if he stayed healthy and lived a long healthy life he would of changed the world. LETS GO WAY BACK AND LISTEN TO ELVIS SING OLD SHEP. HE SANG ITBAT A COUNTY FAIR WHEN HEBWAS LIKE 10 YEARS OLD AND CAME IN 5TH PLACE. MUCH LOVE FROM JOEY FROM NYC
I think Elvis did change the world during his too short life. We asre still listening to him and discussing him almost 43 years after his death and he is STILL gaining fans from the younger generation.
Actually, he did it! music is part of culture and culture is part of society, he changed with his music, his performances and his movies, his style, his speech and his presence, changed the way people look, think and live. Extensive changes in the attitudes of young people and the creation of great bands and singers in the 1960s and 1970s were the result of the cultural revolution that Elvis created in the 1950s, he did what he had to do.
I remember whole family around our little 16 inche tv watching this show! First time I ever saw my father tapping his foot to a beat! Saw me watching him! Quickly stopped! But gave me one of his little grins he was famous for!😏 thank you. for this wonderful memory !💕
I'm 54 yrs. Old been listening to E since literally the crib from my parents. You haven't even scratch the surface of this journey even his Christmas albums are amazing but highly suggest his gospel. I watched this special he was the very FIRST person to be seen around the world by satellite. My Dad let me stay up late on a school night to watch
The most amazing voice any singer ever had and it never failed him. God blessed Elvis for a reason. Thank y'all so much for reacting to this. Much love to you both.
Marty Robbins wrote and recorded the song. It became the last hit for Frankie Laine in 1969. When Elvis spoke of the song he always referenced Frankie Laine. The musical voice of Elvis was so powerful and under control.
To this day there are still songs of Elvis's that can't be duplicated, even by ETA's. They just can't hit those high notes like he can. Not to mention no artist out there today can hit that high note with out the use of a synthesizer. ELVIS ROCK ON!!!
@@ShawnandMel4Life Hi would love to hear the official duet video he did with Lisa Marie for where no one stands alone. or what now my love from the aloha show. Great channel always look forward to watching it.
This is one of Elvis' shining moments of his career. This is a powerful song and powerful performance. His vocals were so full of passion and emotion. No other artist could follow a performance like that. Like you said in your comment, here is proof that Elvis is the G.O.A.T. I love your exciting reaction.. You even gave this a standing ovation. I knew you would love this song, that's why I requested it. I'm glad you did a video on this song. I enjoyed watching this one.
He sings with love and pride and it shows I just realised I was ten when this came out Wow must have been when I fell in love with him 💖 Noone like him 🧐 Australia 💕 Christina
The song is so real I was looking at your man’s eyes I could see if he went through what I went through it hurts but we shall overcome be the best man be the best fathers we could be take care of our little babies God bless you
That is one you need to watch the whole concert. It was the first ever broadcast that was shown around the world at the same time. Elvis had a lot of first in his lifetime. Elvis' vocal range was E-Bb5.
You have just seen why Elvis is the King, and the GOAT. Let me know who can compare with such professionalism and charisma? They don't make singers like this any longer, and one can count on one hand how many since music began to be recorded.
Please react to How Great thou Art from his very last concert in 1977 that was televised it is so anointing an from the heart an soul it will bring tears to your eyes. Thank you👍💜💙
It is refreshing to set here and share this great music with my great grandson and not have to worry about bad language from your reactions. Quoting the great and late BB King "they didn't make a mistake when they named him (Elvis) the King.
Effortlessly. he did do it, WOW!!!! This was ANOTHER REQUEST OF MINE!!! I know what mountain he is talking about. Another great one from this concert is What Now My Love. His opening lines just give you the chills. Elvis does a little OPERA in this song. You won't be sorry. I hear a little operatic sounds in other songs. He even did spanish songs out of 1 or 2 of his movies. You ought to hear that. He's climbing the stairs in these last notes on this song for the finish. I HIGHLY request What Now My Love--another great message song. Only The King, baby!!!. This was a benefit concert. Everything thing he made he donated it to the American Cancer Soceity. He announces this in the concert. A big leader in Hawaii had just passed away to lung cancer and Elvis wanted to help for future cancer patients--he was a VERY giving person. He's had bought hundreds and hundreds of cars through the years and gave them to TOTAL STRANGERS--just helping them out!!!
Elvis was going through some personal struggles with his marriage about this time. This is about the same time he recorded “Always On My Mind” and “Separate Ways”, which was written by his long-time friend and body guard, Red West. This is the era where he really started using his music for himself, so he could try to heal. His music healed so many peoples lives, but it couldn’t heal his. Long live the king.
People don't understand how big this concert was. It was 1973 and the very first thing that was broadcast worldwide by satellite. One in three humans alive watched it. More people watched it than the landing on the Moon.
The Aloha Hawaii special was beam from Via Satellite in 1973. This is the first time it's ever been done back then. A lot of money went in to this and they were'n't sure it was going to work.There was a back up plain if it didn't. It was shown all over the world live. One billion. He did a rehearsal concert the night before and it was free. The big night there was no set price it was up to the concert goers to contribute. The money went to some cancer fund and Elvis of course contribute Another milestone for Elvis
Aside from the songs from the '50's-'60's, i.e. hound dog, blue suede shoes, etc...fans demanded he perform them, so he did them but in a rather fast abbreviated fashion. The '70's marked a time when the music he wanted to perform reflected what was going on in his life & what he reached to for strength. That's why I love this part of his career the most, because it basically came full circle & you got to see the human being behind the image. As for that particular ring on his left hand, he paid approx. $40-45k BACK THEN. It was auctioned off in New York some time ago for $205k. It had a 10.5 caret center diamond , surrounded by 11 more smaller full diamonds making the horseshoe design on top of a solid gold backing. PEACE!
My dads favorite song that song is so powerful guys makes me get tears in my eyes you know he singing to Priscilla from his heart and soul guys love you guys treat me nice when you get a chance okay I know I’m haunting you but it’s such a cool song his voice is so raw and awesome thank you guys your great friend vinny

"Everybody needs a little bit of Elvis Presley in their lives." That's the truest statement I've ever heard. Listening to Elvis has made me a better man.
Elvis had a stage presence that's unmatched to this day.
His vocal range in this song shows his amazing voice
The man was and still is a legend his voice looks and the way he puts everything into his songs puts him a world apart from other entertainers
Elvis presley what now my love 🔥🔥
Singing was a calling for Elvis his voice was always silky smooth
The man was just impressive at every junction of his life.
He had powerful lungs to hit those notes.
Fact: at a concert he took off a ring and gave it to a little girl in the
audience in a wheelchair.
His security saw it and walked up to her mother and told her to watch she
didn't lose it because it was a $30,000 ring. He did these types of things regularly.
instaBlaster
Fantastic song written by Marty Robbins. Elvis’ performance was electrifying and stands the test of time.
Great reaction please listen to make the world go away by Elvis one day you won't regret it I promise
He was the best singer ever. No one will ever replace him.
Mel was on the edge of her seat!!! Fabulous performance!! The one and only Elvis.
This song is one of my favorite song because I have many mountains!! He is the GOAT!!!
I was in the audience twice in Baton Rouge and once in Mobile from 1975-1977, and saw him perform this song live in all three concerts. His delivery was just as effortless and powerful as this, and you could feel the whole arena tremble around you each time when he hit those notes.

The walls in the arena
Shook from the thunder of his beautiful voice. ❤
I remember that concert as if it was yesterday. I thank God every day that I was able to live when Elvis was still with us.
He sings with such passion, you feel every word ! Outstanding!
Fun fact: Elvis loved opera. He later in his career included more opera quality notes in his songs. You can see in this song how powerful his voice is. 💗
Wowww Fam
I still want to cry every time i hear this song,you two are beautiful together love your reactions
That’s why he is the King. He can sing anything.
Love this song. Everytime I hear him hit the first note on that chorus, I get the chills. You can tell by his eyes on the second part of the song that he truly and emotionally connects with it. Elvis will forever be the one and only KING of rock.
He took that Marty Robbins song to a new whole level. Love you.
He’s a beautiful person.. He can sing any song !! Such love & humility from
Elvis.. Every time he sings he touches lives.. Never made a concert but I was listening to him on radio when he made his first record.

This is why WE call him KING, to this day nobody can touch this man, 1973, just ELVIS and a mic. that is a STRONG VOICE!!! CK. out AMERICAN TRILOGY from the same concert.
His voice is liquid gold , the second party of the song is his life , only de boy was a girl . That mountain he never climed .
Wow Helene, thank you so much for your comment
So true, he never did get over that mountain
The first part was too because, when Gladys ( his Mom ) died, Vernon ( his Dad ) blamed Elvis and, when Vernon had a heart attack, he blamed Elvis! That's why he loved that song, it was his life through and, through!
Thank you guys so much god bless you always 🙏 amen thanks for your reaction to the 👑of music ❤ 💯⚡ TCBTLC ⚡ 🇺🇸🇵🇷☝👍🙋 stay healthy and safe and careful 🤒🤕and your family family,🌹🎸🎶🎼🎤

Elvis presley could sing any song better then the orginal artist. Because he made it fit him a how he was truly feeling. You can't fake that.

Elvis presley was the greatest singer a Entertainer that ever lived in the 20 th century. Loved Elvis Presley ever since king creole. I grew up on him a his music a movies. Nobody can sing like this beautiful emotional gorgeous man.

la bombe plus jamais d'Elvis 😮😮💖💥💥😰😱🙏🙏
Elvis got his fress, style and music from the black gospel church. Elvis didn't see color. The King
No words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On top of all his other talents, Elvis was an entertainer. He knew exactly how to please his audience.
Perfection.
One of my favorite Elvis songs ❤️

Elvis was a total prisoner of his own fame for 20 years.
To this day there are still songs of Elvis's that can't be duplicated, even by ETA's. They just can't hit those high notes like he can. Not to mention no artist out there today can hit that high note with out the use of a synthesizer. ELVIS ROCK ON!!!
Great song,
thing is with Elvis he made you believe what he was singing which made the songs so much better..
Hey Paul thank you so much for becoming a member. Do you have any special request

It is the smoothness in the transition of notes that is so impressive to me. Such a finely tuned instrument Elvis has honed.
SNIFF SNIFF.... I’m speechless. 😢😢😢😢👍🏻👍🏻

E was the best,no vocal lessons just pure charisma
