I don't think he was a comic. He liked to play with people's heads. Deconstruct reality, confuse minds. Encourage adults individuals to abandon their built in structure and look at the world with the uncontaminated eyes of a child once again.

Wow, I had the original. of Elvis singing this song, very haunting with that deep echo, Andy does E. doing this song almost to a tee, unreal.......... ..
Heartbroken 2 learn youve left us you gorgeous and extremely talented man! Geniuses like you should remain with us. Who could immitate as perfectly as you. Tho I had hardly known you I miss you. RIP Precious!
I saw him on the Dick van Dyke variety show, his fist major gig. Stretching out the Latka character for a few weeks then dropping the Elvis impersonation. It was stunning....
"You know, Elvis Presley once said that out of all the Elvis imitators, the one that he enjoyed the most is our guest Andy Kaufman." ~Johnny Cash on _The Johnny Cash Show_
The best elvis impersonator was Freddie Starr from the UK Elvis backing singers the Jordan Ayres even said that he sounded more like Elvis than Elvis himself they even came to London to sing with him...
Really nice what Kaufmann does here. I like it very much. But still, if you listen to Elvis's version afterwards... "Love is a thing you never can share." What a ballad singer he was.
damn , I would of love to have been there , just by his eyes looking out at the audience I bet he loved it and was having fun inside and thats from but like the saying goes " only the good die young " .
The beautiful time when love was all simple and genuine. Today songs are all about sleeping with your friend and not giving enough head which causes cheating and heartbreak.
This was actually very good. Andy had a great singing voice. Of course he couldn't match Elvis's vocal power, but then... who could? Very entertaining though.
Andy really took his impression of E to the next level here, versus his total campy version of him on Johnny Carson! Actually like this ARRANGEMENT better than E's.
Очень здорово! Все прекрасно понимают, то это не имперсонатор, а комедийный артист, и это именно пародия, но не издевательская, а добродушная и очень талантливая!
Obviously Elvis was a singer and Kaufman isnt but this version of the song is far better. Elvis' version was a bit slow for me this is Very good imo. Kaufman did a stand-up job even the talking in between and the accent. Everything.
Elvis sang it very very early in this life, he was just a young boy...If he would play this song in his 70s performances, he would just sing like that.

No one comes close to doing Elvis as amazingly as Andy did !
Andy did him brilliantly! Andy was a performance artist in actuality, not a standup comedian! He is so missed!
Who didn't knew Andy, if watch this performance would be shocked after search UA-cam and find Latka singing.
Elvis always said that his favourite imitator was Andy Kaufman. I quite agree.Andy was also a brilliant comedian.
All us Elvis fans are thanking you Andy , great rendition, great tribute to the king...love you Andy. RIP
Crowd was probably expecting a mockery rather than this respectful tribute. Kind of scary how good he is here
I'm glad that you enjoyed your visit and your
comment is greatly appreciated.
I adored him in this spot! :)
My husband's a distant cousin of Mr. Kaufman's -- would have adored him regardless :)
I have read that Elvis was a huge Andy Kaufman fan and thought Andy did the best impressions of him.
Not as good as dean z though. Andy is trash compared to dean z
A great tribute to Elvis by a very multitalented Andy Kaufman.
A comic genius and the best Elvis immatator ever.
He did Elvis as good as Elvis.

Elvis thought that Andy did a great job of imitating him. Elvis truly liked him. Great show Mr. Kaufman!!!!!
You're welcome
If you find your sweetheart
In the arms of a friend
That's when your heartaches begin
When dreams of a lifetime
Must come to an end
That's when your heartaches begin
[Verse 2]
Love is a thing
You never can share
If you bring a friend
Into your love affair
That's the end of your sweetheart
That's the end of your friend
That's when your heartaches begin
If you find your sweetheart
In the arms of your best friend
Brother, that's- that's when your heartaches begin

Adorable Andy, what a wonderful tribute to Elvis the King of hearts . Hope you’re goofing together in heaven, bless you both xx
I never knew quite how to take Andy.
But one thing you can say for sure.... He could do it all. He was very talented.
Had the whole building, waiting to laugh.. but silenced...then tears
Expected this to be a joke...what a great job!
Andy you are the only elvis impersonator i enjoy watching. You've got soul man!!!
Great job Andy! Your admiration to The King is so classy.
So great. Andy really cherished Elvis and the beauties of this record, how Elvis gave it every heartfelt nuance, especially on the spoken bit.
You,re welcome
What a talented man he was, rip Andy XX
Gone way too soon, that was such an awesome talented man right there.
The greatest entertainers ever.
We lost 😞 two of the most talented people who we loved so much. RIP Andy & Elvis.
Andy Kaufman was just terrific!!
Andy's pitch is perfect. 🤯 he's a legit great singer
Andy was so talented , he made me laugh while on Taxi. I hated the tragic end to his life. Thank you ,Andy!
He is an awesome comedian and doing a great impression!❤❤❤
Heartbroken 2 learn youve left us you gorgeous and extremely talented man! Geniuses like you should remain with us. Who could immitate as perfectly as you. Tho I had hardly known you I miss you. RIP Precious!
He managed to bring Elvis back to life for this lucky audience. Holy shit.
Yes, definitely! Now if only someone can bring Andy back to life. :)
I saw him on the Dick van Dyke variety show, his fist major gig. Stretching out the Latka character for a few weeks then dropping the Elvis impersonation. It was stunning....
Elvis Presley’s favorite Elvis impersonator, showing why he is Elvis’s favorite!

Andy was so talented, Elvis is proud 🎸 he too departed from this life much too soon..
you're welcome
He was great 😃 miss comedians like Andy truly great!
Elvis Presley's favorite Elvis Presley Impersonator! Truly!
That is incorrect. Elvis had already passed when this clown started doing this amateur garbage.
And the first Elvis impersonator!
Mike C , time to sober up looser
@@mikec6822 no, he was doing this before Elvis passed away in the 70s.
@@magnusforsman9150 REPORTED FOR HARASSMENT AND BULLYING. BLOCKED SO THAT I NO LONGER SEE YOUR MORONIC COMMENTS
He's is DAMN good. Sounds a lot like elvis.
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Talent plus the element of surprise.
No words 😶 outstanding
The best elvis impersonator was Freddie Starr from the UK Elvis backing singers the Jordan Ayres even said that he sounded more like Elvis than Elvis himself they even came to London to sing with him...
Beautiful 👏👏👏👏Love IT Elvis FOREVER 🎵🎸🤙
We miss this wonderful Man....love you ANDY😢💝💖💕
Andy Kaufman, a comic genius and great imitator of the The King himself🥳🥳🥳💪💪👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🥰🥰🥰🥰
Absolutely magnificent
you're welcome
Wow fantastic x
My God his voice is spot on with Elvis's. Elvis and Andy, two great talents.👍
I once saw gold. Now I’ve heard it.
Elvis era pra ser homenageado todo dia,o cara e foi e sempre será o maior artista q visitou nosso planeta
Really nice what Kaufmann does here. I like it very much. But still, if you listen to Elvis's version afterwards... "Love is a thing you never can share." What a ballad singer he was.
He was one of the first impersonators I believe at a time when the King was still with us.
I was just about to say precisely the same thing.
I always likeed this guy.true to the HEART!!😄
damn , I would of love to have been there , just by his eyes looking out at the audience I bet he loved it and was having fun inside and thats from but like the saying goes " only the good die young " .
ANDY was a KING
FANTASTIC!!!
Andy didn't goof on Elvis here... song was remarkable!
The beautiful time when love was all simple and genuine. Today songs are all about sleeping with your friend and not giving enough head which causes cheating and heartbreak.
I hope, you enjoyed it
He is so good love it !
Goddam he was GOOD !!!!!!!!!!
Incredible!
Fantastic!
Wow - lange her- aber - der Andy macht das richtig gut !Elvis - ist/war.....trotz 30.000 Coversänger......eben "the King" !GVLG Gerd
This is Elvis’s favorite impersonator!😊
I thought Elvis was fond of Ral Donner.
love me some ANDY and Elvis 2021
Excellent 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Truly wonderful
The voice amazing. Truly talented sad the way he went
yes he died really Young. Thanks for your visit.
WOW !!!
he was a massive Elvis fan and was his role model
That was tremendous
It seems that he is almost channeling Elvis
So long ago...So sad 😥
Best ever
Andy's Elvis was KING.
Awesome
This was actually very good. Andy had a great singing voice. Of course he couldn't match Elvis's vocal power, but then... who could? Very entertaining though.
You might wanna hear him do “Rosemarie” by Slim Whitman. Great!
Yeah... He is good!
Andy really took his impression of E to the next level here, versus his total campy version of him on Johnny Carson! Actually like this ARRANGEMENT better than E's.
Andy is awesome, but nobody is better than Elvis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Andy was so good at this I could forget it was Andy and think it was Elvis.
This was better then the original
Very talented.
obviously a spoof on Elvis that turned out GREAT 👍 Presley himself loved it too …
He was really tooooo funy
Andy so fantastic wow also so funny
He had the young Elvis nuances in his vocals
The Goodtimes did it too.Beautiful!!
You're welcome
Elvis liked him the best of all the imitators
I like his version even more than the Elvis' original!! 👍👍👍
yes
Очень здорово! Все прекрасно понимают, то это не имперсонатор, а комедийный артист, и это именно пародия, но не издевательская, а добродушная и очень талантливая!
Shameful this has more views than Elvis' original found here on YT. I'm 53, never got Andy Kaufman and still don't.
This is the first time I am watching him do this because I thought he was just going to make fun of Elvis but he was the very first ETA and a good one
He was serious about doing Elvis but also had the comedy too. It was hard to separate the two but you see the serious side here. Cool
I’m surprised Andy didn’t learn how to play the guitar as talented as he was.
Eu amo Elvis Presley.
Obviously Elvis was a singer and Kaufman isnt but this version of the song is far better. Elvis' version was a bit slow for me this is Very good imo. Kaufman did a stand-up job even the talking in between and the accent. Everything.
Yeah same for me
Elvis sang it very very early in this life, he was just a young boy...If he would play this song in his 70s performances, he would just sing like that.
Both gone way too soon.
I think Andy like being Elvis , more than being Andy
Pretty good
You're welcome
He lives elvis character not impersonating great job
You're welcome
Elvis was even impressed
💟💟💟💟🤔💟💟💟💟
Jokes aside this would be amazing even if it was just a dude singing. The fact that it is Andy Kaufman makes it so better.
Wow! Clone of Elvis!😊
