    My mother passed away at 12:25 a.m. on January 8, 2008 on what would have been Elvis's 73rd birthday. We have a friend who sings Elvis songs and so we asked him to sing this at mom's service. Glad to hear you are going to Graceland. My niece and oldest sister have been there. It is on my bucket list to do someday.

    Elvis' voice alone will leave you awestruck and then when you add in his powerful charisma, that is when it goes into the place of Elvis leaves people speechless, at a loss for any words that would properly describe him. No other word describes him other than to just say Elvis and his fans know. So happy you guys are going to Graceland. You won't be disappointed but you will have an amazing experience unlike anything else. I had only been an Elvis fan for under a year when I went and I had a spiritual experience. It's weird to explain but it truly feels like Elvis is still there and the house is alive.

    It's so true what you said about the whole world loving him.... and they did! I was married to a man from Iran, and he said in the sixties and seventies, in Iran, his brother and others wore their sideburns and hairstyles like Elvis... and a female Iranian friend told how the first time she saw him on a movie screen, she stood up and called out to him "Here I am Elvis! Here I am!" Ha ha ha! The whole world fell head over tails in love with him....

    This was the first concert in history to go satellite around the world. It was a live concert from Honolulu Hawaii in 1973. It was way before the internet and cable television. It was watched by over a billion people worldwide. It set a record no one has ever surpassed. He (Elvis Presley) was Rock & Roll royalty. We are blessed to see and hear performances such as this from him and, for generations to come. Awesome upload on the greatest concert the world has ever seen.

    American Trilogy is a very moving song because it embraces three different aspects of US history and Elvis's life. It is a medley of three songs: Dixie was considered an unofficial Confederate anthem during the Civil War (Elvis was born and bred in the south that he loved), All My Trials (the one that included the flute solo) was an African-American spiritual song and was popular during the social protest movements of the 50's and 60'a (Elvis was raised around black gospel, people and culture and loved it), and the Glory Hallelujah piece is from the Battle Hymn of the Republic and was a marching song of the Union Army as they fought against the Confederate Army in the Civil War (Elvis was a proud American patriot).

    The actual name of this song is An American Trilogy. It's a medley of three civil war era folk songs: Dixie, Battle Hymn of the Republic and All My Trials. This became a live staple of Elvis's shows in the early 70s and remained part of his concerts for the rest of his life. This particular performance is from the "dress rehearsal" of the Aloha From Hawaii concert which was recorded before the live satellite show to have as a backup in case something went wrong during the satellite broadcast. This version is actually inferior to the one from the actual show. The flautist messed up slightly during his solo, there were a few missed notes from the brass section, and Elvis' performance was lackluster in comparison to the actual televised version. You need to watch the actual version, because it blows this version away.

    • @hidalgo8323

    Gospel music was his first love he only sang rock ‘n’ roll to pay the bills. When he was growing up in Mississippi in the 1930s the elderly Black people who lived in his town were all former slaves. And he heard them sing in church the same gospel songs. He learned that passion from the source.
