Elvis was known for his flashy clothes and on stage he had a lot of bling. His voice singing beautiful ballads in live performances was spectacular. Keep reacting to this concert. It showcased Elvis diversity in singing many genres. Also the 1968 comeback special live and 1970 From Vegas That’s the way it is. Elvis fans will be watching.
Elvis was beyond great 💕This concert was the first to be beamed around the world and more people watched it than the moon landing. Hello from Australia. 🇦🇺
Elvis was very patriotic and loved America. As such since this concert was being sent out via satellite his jumpsuit reflected his love of Country, the bald eagle, the red whir and blue and stars. LOVE THIS MAN FOREVER.
The most charismatic singer entertainer and humanitarian ever! No one today can match his brilliance. And no auto tunes back then and if there were he wouldn't need it...
You know back then they didn't have auto tune that's how he sang all his songs Elvis was a gifted man He was the real deal and He put his all in every song he sang. GOD BLESS EVERYONE. 🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇❤️❤️❤️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🎤🎤🎤🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵💙💙💙
Exactly! No high tech mixing boards like today! Elvis had a perfect pitch, knew how to work a microphone, and had an amazing voice like no other! Your point makes it just that much more incredible!
So glad the new generation of ppl discovering Elvis, listen to his voice this man was the real deal a true talent no fake singing no frills ,just E and his Amazing, beautiful voice , ❤️
Elvis is the greatest artist of all time, poor Elvis thought that when he died he would be forgotten. How wrong Elvis was, he will never be forgotten and thats a fact.
Aloha From Hawaii special was the first satellite concert broadcast worldwide. It's estimated that close to 1.5 billion people saw the broadcast at a time when the world population was under 4 billion. More Americans watched Elvis's Aloha From Hawaii special than watched man's first walk on the moon. Elvis sang Rockabilly, Rock & Roll, Gospel, Country & Blues. He is the only artist in all 5 major music Halls of Fame. Elvis loved ballads & he recorded a lot of them. "I suppose you'd have to have called him a lyric baritone, although with exceptional high notes and unexpectedly rich low ones. But what is more important about Elvis Presley is not his vocal range, nor how high, or low it extends, but where its centre of gravity is. By that measure, Elvis was all at once a tenor, a baritone and a bass, the most unusual voice I've ever heard." - Gregory Sandows, Music Professor at Columbia University, published in "The Village Voice".
His being grew in his later concerts..in my opinion, he didn't need it, but it worked for him! Elvis is definitely a rabbit hole you want to dive into!❤
Tru AMERICAN TRILOGY, HOW GREAT THOU ART, BRIDGE OVER TROUBLE D WATER AND IF I CAN DREAM! Just Avery few of his great songs!! Yeah , about 1billion people! King OF Rock!!❤❤❤❤

Wow, so he wore jumpsuits very often then! I loved the Eagle Jumpsuit, it was very shiny/sparkly, which is quite fitting for a performance that shines bright like this one 🔥
@bign8580 Maybe you've already seen this, but there's a great interview with Jay Osmond filmed during Elvis Week 2023 where he goes into detail about how it was Elvis that got them into jumpsuits. There are also several interviews with Donny about the connection between Elvis and the Osmond family.
@DanCanReact A little history: In the "50s, when most male singers were wearing black suits, Elvis introduced color with such things as his pink suit (which was torn off him by fans after a show) and his shiny gold suit. He served in the Army ('58-'60) and made movies and soundtrack albums ('61-'68). When he went back to live performances, he started wearing jumpsuits because they were more flexible to accommodate his dance and karate moves. He was big into karate. Fun facts: Originally, the suit you just saw had a floor-length cape. But, when they put it on him, he took one step forward and fell over backwards due to the weight of it so they had to make a shorter one. Because of his generous nature, at the end of that concert he threw the cape and his belt into the audience.
Elvis sang all genre of music and is the only artist induced in all 4 Hall of Fame music. Country, Gospel, R&B, Rock & Roll. He has more than 650 recorded songs. He also starred in 31 movies
Nobody could rock a jumpsuit quite like The King Elvis Presley. I think he started to wear jumpsuits in the late 60s. Elvis wore jumpsuits because they allowed him to move around and dance on stage without worrying about getting his clothing snagged on something. The jumpsuits were his trademark. Most beautiful and talented man ever. I love Elvis forever❤❤❤ great reaction thanks❤❤
@@DanCanReact yes his jumpsuits were really heavy. Elvis sweat a lot on stage, they were probably extremely hot to wear, especially under stage lights while moving their significant bulk around. Elvis was simply amazing ❤️
Fans may not pick up on your one Elvis reaction, but the more you do, the more fans will see and will subscribe. One thing about Elvis fans, is they are fiercely loyal and supportive and will definitely subscribe for Elvis content.
I just subbed because of Elvis and I love and respect your reaction, Elvis is not just the king of Rock , which he never liked because he always said and believed that of course was Jesus Christ, Elvis sang every genre of Music and is the only artist to this day to be in every Hall of Fame , this concert in 1973Aloha from Hawaii was viewed by over a billion people around the World in over 40 countries , first time to ever occur and was watched by more people than the first time a man walked on the moon , Elvis set standards that will never be touched by any artist and the jumpsuit he was wearing weighed over 40, pounds ,the concert is on Video and totally worth your time At the end of the concert He throws the studded cape out in the audience , the entire concert was.for charity to the cancer drive , research this man and you're gonna be pleased you did , my two reactions to hear from him is If I Can Dream in the White suit,68 comeback special and Just Pretend in Vegas 1970, Plus you will love Trying to get to you , also in the 68,, comeback special , By the way , ELVIS Will take you you all the way to Church, The one thing that truly upsets me is that he has been overlooked in way to Many ways , Stay safe and stay on the ELVIS journey . TCB 1935 ....
I enjoyed your reaction! People new to Elvis are always surprised by his versatility. Name the genre and he could sing it from rock 'n' roll to country to blues to pop to gospel (his personal favorite) and beyond. Over the years his suits became more and more ornate. They weighed from 30-75 pounds. The one you just saw was probably the heaviest. You can't go wrong with Elvis. Even almost 47 years since his passing, he's constantly gaining new fans. I guarantee reacting to him will be an exciting experience and will help to grow your channel. REQUESTS: ELVIS PRESLEY - You've Lost That Loving Feeling (Las Vegas 1970) 4K (4:15) Johnny Cash - A Boy Named Sue (Live at San Quentin, 1969) (3:20) John Denver - Annie's Song (from The Wildlife Concert) (3:02)
His jumpsuits were made by Bill Belew & Gene Doucette; they began fairly simple (see Concho jumpsuit & Chain jumpsuit from Vegas 1970) & became more intricate w-more design, detail & jewels (see 1972 Hampton Roads, Virginia & 1972 Greensboro, North Carolina concerts). The Aloha concert was for charity for the Kui Lee Cancer Fund. Elvis bought his own ticket for $1,000. It was supposed to raise $25,000 but it raised $75,000.
If you truly want to understand Elvis’s career, you should start out watching his earliest raw performances. During his life, he went from a truck driver , to a national sensation. After serving 2 years in the Army, he had a successful/profitable movie career. He wanted to get back to performing for live audiences, so after the tremendous success of his 1968 TV broadcast..⭐️🎵 Well , check it out yourself. There is plenty of video on YT. Thanks for sharing!
Aloha From Hawaii is one of the best concerts EVER, by anyone. Two other standout songs from the concert are American Trilogy, and You Gave Me A Mountain. Great reaction brother. Thanks, from Ireland.
This concert was live via satellite and was viewed by 1.5 billion people worldwide!!A record that has not been broken!! The One and Only G.O.A.T!!❤❤❤❤❤! Love seeing people react to Elvis!! I have loved him since I was 6 years old, I am now 70 and I listen to Elvis everyday!! Thank you
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 That's why the record industry officially made Elvis Presley the "King of Music" in the 90s! After having sold 1.6 billion albums by then (mid-90s).
@@jennyjorgensen9935 Der User "bwana-ma-coo-bah425" (He's a Michael Jackson fan) he's on almost every Elvis site on the internet to badmouth Elvis. I've known him for years. He writes a lot of untruths about Elvis Presley. I don't want to write more because this is a great site.
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 What music did Pavarotti write? Hmm? What music did Frank Sinatra write? What music did all those old artists from the 1950's back. Almost none. We're talking about singing and interpretation. You seem to love making the rounds of Elvis reactors. We understand your jealousy. Go "s**t" somewhere else where they like the stink.
Hey mate Great reaction The jumpsuit Elvis was wearing Was especially made for this concert Because it was the first satellite concert to be beamed around the world 🌎 Elvis wanted something to represent American So they cane up with the Anerican Eagle Red, white and blue The colors of the American flag This concert was seen by 1•5 billion people It was also a charity concert Elvis looks amazing and sounds amazing If you wanted to see the whole concert Aloha From Hawaii I have subscribed to you With Elvis You can't go wrong The King Of Rock or just The King 🤴
@Dan - I saw Elvis LIVE at Notre Dame, the year before he died…I was only 8 and I’ve been to maybe 1000 concerts of various bands over the years…Elvis was an unforgettable showman!
thanks for your great reaction but you need to see some of his grand early stuff. Especially the 68 comeback on NBC. He wore black leather and was beyond wonderful songs like "Trying to Get of You'.. and "If I Can Dream" his tribute to MLK who was killed 8 miles from his home. You haven't even scracted the surface he had a 23 year career, he recorded over 700 songs, from gospel to opera, he had a three octave range. He started his career in 54, I flipped when I saw him on Sullivan in 1956, I was 12, he was so sexy he made me blush. Now 80 I realize after seeing him in concert twice he is the greatest performer of all time. be Blessed.
This is a song written for Frank Sinatra by Paul Anka. My opinion this song described Elvis' career more than Franks and it was broadcast via satellite to over 1.5 Billion. no artist has ever even come close to duplicating this feat.
As a solo artist? For sure, no one has topped this! I do know certain performances by Queen reached this level of viewership worldwide, but that's all I can think of.
Amazing reaction. Feel the passion and emotion of his voice. Please try American Trilogy, Bridge over troubled water, You’ve lost that loving feeling. Thanks 💕💕💕💕
First, thank you for reacting to Elvis, and I've subbed for that reason. ❤ I see that a lot of people are requesting performances for you to react to, but have not provided links. It's important to get links so you react to the correct performance. If you would like to continue down this Elvis journey, and I strongly encourage you to do so, because I swear, you will NOT be disappointed. Elvis has a massive amount of live performances that will no doubt blow you away. This performance is just a small taste of what is to come. I promise you. Elvis was so much more than just the music. He was an incredible human, so generous, kind and loving to everyone, no matter who you were. He had a beautiful heart and soul, and fans.....real fans.....love him for the music, but more importantly, for who he was. I would be more than happy to send you links. Thank you again for reacting to Elvis. It is appreciated more than you will ever know. ❤ Have a great day and let me know about those links. In the meantime, here is one for you. If I Can Dream ua-cam.com/video/u-pP_dCenJA/v-deo.htmlsi=U5o478pT06UKzr-O
Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching Courtney! Appreciate the link, I'll take note of it. I'm currently listening to some of the most popular songs from artists I don't listen to, to build my following and I'll move to more obscure songs once I have more of an audience :D
You should listen to his Gospel music. A few suggestions: "How Great thou art", "Crying in the Chapel", "Joshua fit the battle ob Jericho" or the Gospel production number from his '68 Comeback Special.
Elvis is an icon! He has a very awesome voice. There are many more songs you can react too. Check out How Great Thou Art. It is a masterpiece. Love your reaction!
(new sub -- Thank you.) BACKGROUND INFO: The original song is the French song entitled "Comme d'habitude" & composed by Jacques Revaux, Gilles Thibaut & Claude François. The English version (My Way) was written by Paul Anka who re-wrote the original version for Frank Sinatra. Anka changed the lyrics & subtly altered the melodic structure. The original French song has nothing to do w-Paul Anka’s written version as we know it, for the translation of "Comme d'habitude" meaning is “something that happens regularly” or “that isn't surprising.” There is a video of the original French version w-English subtitles on the internet. Sinatra’s daughter Nancy said Sinatra did not like the song to the point of hating it. Sinatra said it was "self-serving" but performed it many times anyway. Elvis did it all regards types of music -- country, gospel, r&b, etc., etc. -- there wasn't anything he could not do -- can't say the same for most singers.
Interesting! "comme d'habitude", is what I would say as a French speaker when someone asks how my day is going "like usual". Not at all similar to the "My Way" title, so I could definitely see how they changed it up, didn't know that! Thanks for subbing and tuning in, I really appreciate it.
@@DanCanReact I have a comment re: what looked like you closing your eyes. While Elvis was tame & subdued in Hawaii, you can't take your eyes off of him when watching a live performance. Elvis was very spontaneous, he could do something totally unexpected, a hand motion, a swirl around, etc., he even flubbed a few lyrics & you'd see him laugh to himself all while singing right along as if nothing happened; he even very subtly "gave the finger" to someone on stage as a joke, all while going on w-the song. Elvis never repeated himself -- he would do 2, 3, or 4 versions & performances of the same song & they were all different -- not like now where everything is perfectly rehearsed. Once he did something, that was it -- he never repeated himself. So eyes open at all times. Thanks.
If you think his voice was powerful in this performance, and it is, but you are going to be floored when you react to some of his other live performances. OMG!!! You have no idea what you are in for 😂. I can't wait to see your other Elvis reactions. I sent another comment further down regarding links. Please let me know. ❤
Elvis was born on January 8, 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi, in a 2 room shack of a house his dad built with money he borrowed from his boss. That's how dirt poor they were. He was one half of identical twins; the other boy - Jesse Garon - was stillborn. They were so poor, that Jesse Garon was buried in a shoebox in an unmarked grave. At Graceland they have a plaque with his name on it in his memory. Elvis always got along with the black community and learned a lot about music from his friends of color. Also, according to the one drop rule, Elvis would not be considered white, since he has Cherokee ancestors on both the Smith (his mother) and the Presley (his father) sides of the family. His paternal grandfather, Jesse Dunning Presley, was not happy that his two sons, Elvis' father Vernon and his brother Vester, married two sisters, Gladys and Clettes who were known to have Cherokee blood in their family tree. J.D. Presley was quite the racist a-hole, often drunk and a philandering husband to Minnie Mae (they were actually separated long before they finally divorced in 1954) who was always competing with his sons Vester and Vernon and who was known to abuse his kids when drunk. J.D. was publicly against race mixing and was in denial about the Cherokee blood in his own family tree. It was more publicly known that the Smith family had Native blood in their family tree, so when both his sons fell for 2 Smith sisters and Vernon, on top of that, was still a minor at 17 when he eloped with Gladys who was 4 years older than him, Jesse was totally pissed off. As a child, Elvis already had many friends in the black community at the time his family was one of 4 "white" families that lived in the predominantly black neighborhood The Hill, just across from Shake Rag. His childhood friend Sam Bell said that some of the (black) kids in that neighborhood had lighter skin than Elvis. One of Elvis' bodyguards once said that he thought it was a miracle Elvis got into Humes High School in Memphis, because it was "lily white". Elvis wanted to be more open about his Native ancestry, but his manager "colonel" Tom Parker (real name Andreas van Kuijk) was against it because he was afraid it might cost Elvis fans (and himself money). They did have Elvis play characters in his movies though where he had Native American blood (Flaming Star, G.I. Blues, Stay Away Joe). Once Elvis had his own (apprentice) job learning to be an electrician, he saved up his money and bought his clothes in the same style that many of his friends of color wore. He was called a (forgive me, just stating facts here) "n-lover" and got beaten up several times too. Later, when he was an established star, he would not perform at places where the members of color of his back-up band/orchestra weren't allowed.
A correction. Elvis was king of rock'n 'roll. Michael Jackson was king of pop. Great video Look at Elvis performing American Trilogy or unchained melody. (From his last live performance)
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 also. Type in on any search site King of rnr and I promise you it will say Elvis Presley. Even great artists like John Lennon say before Elvis ther was nothing n Elvis his moves made it possible for many artists to show of their moves on stageb
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 Elvis created the genre as we understand it today; rock ‘n’ roll roll. it Began with him. That’s why we can say. He’s the king of it! Get off your negative high horse about Elvis why don’t you, because 99% of the people who listen to reactions or just to Elvis’s music itself don’t agree with you. Nor would they or do they appreciate your attitude and position on one of the most wonderful special talents that God ever created. PERIOD!
Elvis.. the first King of Bling.. not doubt. Elvis I think sang it best.. Better than Frank Sinatra.. but did you just call Elvis the King of Pop??? Sweetie.. Elvis was the King of Rock.. Michael Jackson was the King of Pop.
It's not completely wrong to be fair, cause pop encapsulates music that is popular over a broad audience, and Elvis was appreciated by billions of people. So I could argue he is the king of Pop as well!
This was for copyright reasons, I listened to it normally, but my video was being blocked worldwide when I first uploaded it. I needed to make necessary changes so it could be uploaded, but PLEASE do listen to the original video to enjoy it how it was intended, I linked it in the description😁
What's wrong with the sound - it's off mate, Elvis is too deep. The actual sound you can hear his baratone and vibrato working in tandem. ua-cam.com/video/ixbcvKCl4Jc/v-deo.html
I addressed this issue to someone else who commented, but it was for copyright reasons. This video was blocked worldwide and I had to take several measures just to get it up on the channel (I had to reupload 4 times)... Including flipping the video, using color correction and fading it the video. If you want to experience the actual song, I already linked it in the description upon posting! The point of this video is to get my reaction, but that can't happen if the video is blocked 😅

Elvis did every kind of music there was. His live performances are great. Elvis was great ❤ him.
Elvis sang all genre of music and is the only artist induced in all 4 Hall of Fame music.
Country, Gospel, R&B, Rock & Roll. He has more than 650 recorded songs. He also starred in 31 movies
The only artist inducted into all 5 mayor music Halls of Fame, you forgot Rockabilly. Elvis is in a total of more than 20 halls of fame.
20 is crazy!
He was so talented everyone loved him everywhere he was also a great actor and good at martial arts
Martial arts too? I knew he did acting but that's crazy! What a talent!
Usually, frequently, almost all the time, favorite Elvis songs are the one last listened to.
Oh really? Why do you think that is?
For me, it's because that's the song I want stuck in my head.

I just subbed because of Elvis and I love and respect your reaction, Elvis is not just the king of Rock , which he never liked because he always said and believed that of course was Jesus Christ, Elvis sang every genre of Music and is the only artist to this day to be in every Hall of Fame , this concert in 1973Aloha from Hawaii was viewed by over a billion people around the World in over 40 countries , first time to ever occur and was watched by more people than the first time a man walked on the moon , Elvis set standards that will never be touched by any artist and the jumpsuit he was wearing weighed over 40, pounds ,the concert is on Video and totally worth your time At the end of the concert He throws the studded cape out in the audience , the entire concert was.for charity to the cancer drive , research this man and you're gonna be pleased you did , my two reactions to hear from him is If I Can Dream in the White suit,68 comeback special and Just Pretend in Vegas 1970, Plus you will love Trying to get to you , also in the 68,, comeback special , By the way , ELVIS Will take you you all the way to Church, The one thing that truly upsets me is that he has been overlooked in way to Many ways , Stay safe and stay on the ELVIS journey . TCB 1935

Thanks for watching Loris! 40 pounds is insane for a bodysuit 😅 I wonder if throwing that would hurt some LOL!
Some of the suits weighed Considerably more than 40lbs!
I enjoyed your reaction! People new to Elvis are always surprised by his versatility. Name the genre and he could sing it from rock 'n' roll to country to blues to pop to gospel (his personal favorite) and beyond. Over the years his suits became more and more ornate. They weighed from 30-75 pounds. The one you just saw was probably the heaviest.
You can't go wrong with Elvis. Even almost 47 years since his passing, he's constantly gaining new fans. I guarantee reacting to him will be an exciting experience and will help to grow your channel.
REQUESTS:
ELVIS PRESLEY - You've Lost That Loving Feeling (Las Vegas 1970) 4K (4:15)
Johnny Cash - A Boy Named Sue (Live at San Quentin, 1969) (3:20)
John Denver - Annie's Song (from The Wildlife Concert) (3:02)
Wow 75 pounds?? That's like something I'd wear during my workouts at the gym, that's extremely impressive, how could he move with that 😲
@DanCanReact Sheer determination and grit. And, when performing in Vegas, he did 2 shows a night 7 days a week for a month straight with no days off.
His jumpsuits were made by Bill Belew & Gene Doucette; they began fairly simple (see Concho jumpsuit & Chain jumpsuit from Vegas 1970) & became more intricate w-more design, detail & jewels (see 1972 Hampton Roads, Virginia & 1972 Greensboro, North Carolina concerts).
The Aloha concert was for charity for the Kui Lee Cancer Fund. Elvis bought his own ticket for $1,000. It was supposed to raise $25,000 but it raised $75,000.
75,000 back in the 70s is a lot of cash!
@@DanCanReact Approx. $530,700 now, give or take.
If you truly want to understand Elvis’s career, you should start out watching his earliest raw performances. During his life, he went from a truck driver , to a national sensation. After serving 2 years in the Army, he had a successful/profitable movie career.
He wanted to get back to performing for live audiences, so after the tremendous success of his 1968 TV broadcast..⭐️🎵
Well , check it out yourself. There is plenty of video on YT.
Thanks for sharing!
And thanks for watching! Elvis is so multi talented it's actually scary 😱
Aloha From Hawaii is one of the best concerts EVER, by anyone.
Two other standout songs from the concert are American Trilogy, and You Gave Me A Mountain.
Great reaction brother. Thanks, from Ireland.
Thanks for tuning in! Appreciate that 😁
This concert was live via satellite and was viewed by 1.5 billion people worldwide!!A record that has not been broken!! The One and Only G.O.A.T!!❤❤❤❤❤! Love seeing people react to Elvis!! I have loved him since I was 6 years old, I am now 70 and I listen to Elvis everyday!! Thank you
Wow, you're a devoted fan! Thanks for sticking around to watch my reaction! ❤
He’s doing that live in front of 1 billion people worldwide via satellite.
That's crazy!
More like 1.5 Billion
Dude...the chills are an understatement! Awesome reaction! He's the freakn MAN!! NO LIE👊😉
So glad I watched this one, a great song and legendary artist indeed!
king of rock and roll mj is the king of pop
Fair enough, but you could both call them pop, cause they were MASSIVELY popular!
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425TROLL.🤮
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 That's why the record industry officially made Elvis Presley the "King of Music" in the 90s! After having sold 1.6 billion albums by then (mid-90s).
@@jennyjorgensen9935 Der User "bwana-ma-coo-bah425" (He's a Michael Jackson fan) he's on almost every Elvis site on the internet to badmouth Elvis. I've known him for years. He writes a lot of untruths about Elvis Presley. I don't want to write more because this is a great site.
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 What music did Pavarotti write? Hmm? What music did Frank Sinatra write? What music did all those old artists from the 1950's back. Almost none. We're talking about singing and interpretation. You seem to love making the rounds of Elvis reactors. We understand your jealousy. Go "s**t" somewhere else where they like the stink.
Hey mate
Great reaction
The jumpsuit Elvis was wearing
Was especially made for this concert
Because it was the first satellite concert to be beamed around the world 🌎
Elvis wanted something to represent American
So they cane up with the Anerican Eagle
Red, white and blue
The colors of the American flag
This concert was seen by 1•5 billion people
It was also a charity concert
Elvis looks amazing and sounds amazing
If you wanted to see the whole concert

Thanks for subscribing David, and I really appreciate you sharing these facts, it's fascinating how many people were watching!
Elvis! The one and only! There will never be another.
He could reach in and touch your soul with his songs and his charisma.
Ayy, nice to see you on another video Todd, thanks for tuning in!
*SUBBED BECAUSE I LOVE ELVIS FOREVER*
That's much appreciated, thanks for watching!!
@Dan - I saw Elvis LIVE at Notre Dame, the year before he died…I was only 8 and I’ve been to maybe 1000 concerts of various bands over the years…Elvis was an unforgettable showman!
You went that long ago and still remember it? That must have been a crazy show!!
thanks for your great reaction but you need to see some of his grand early stuff. Especially the 68 comeback on NBC. He wore black leather and was beyond wonderful songs like "Trying to Get of You'.. and "If I Can Dream" his tribute to MLK who was killed 8 miles from his home. You haven't even scracted the surface he had a 23 year career, he recorded over 700 songs, from gospel to opera, he had a three octave range. He started his career in 54, I flipped when I saw him on Sullivan in 1956, I was 12, he was so sexy he made me blush. Now 80 I realize after seeing him in concert twice he is the greatest performer of all time. be Blessed.
700 songs is a feat! How many artists can say they made that many songs 😮
@@DanCanReact Actually, I think 784.
Lindo Elvis com sua voz maravilhosa, ninguém conseguirá atingir seu nível de perfeição ❤
Jailhouse Rock from movie same name! Start when he changed music history
great reaction man....greetings from holland
Greetings! Thanks for watching 😁
This is a song written for Frank Sinatra by Paul Anka. My opinion this song described Elvis' career more than Franks and it was broadcast via satellite to over 1.5 Billion. no artist has ever even come close to duplicating this feat.
As a solo artist? For sure, no one has topped this! I do know certain performances by Queen reached this level of viewership worldwide, but that's all I can think of.
More Elvis !!!
Will do more in the future, maybe after my next video :)
@@DanCanReact ❤️❤️
Amazing reaction. Feel the passion and emotion of his voice. Please try American Trilogy, Bridge over troubled water, You’ve lost that loving feeling. Thanks 💕💕💕💕
I believe he performed these in the same concert right? Will be sure to take note for a future video :)
I SUBSCRIBED 💕💕💕💕
Move Elvis Presley please ❤
Will FOR SURE in future videos, I have a lot planned to react to 😁
In same concert he did American Trilogy it’s a must to hear.40 countries 1.5 billion on live television.
Appreciate the recommendation John, I'll check that out!
He wasn’t one of the first, he WAS the First!!
Loved your genuine appreciation of Elvis. Please check out more of him and I will check out more of you! Greetings from Scotland
I plan to in the near future! Thanks for tuning in 😁
First, thank you for reacting to Elvis, and I've subbed for that reason. ❤
I see that a lot of people are requesting performances for you to react to, but have not provided links.
It's important to get links so you react to the correct performance.
If you would like to continue down this Elvis journey, and I strongly encourage you to do so, because I swear, you will NOT be disappointed. Elvis has a massive amount of live performances that will no doubt blow you away. This performance is just a small taste of what is to come. I promise you.
Elvis was so much more than just the music. He was an incredible human, so generous, kind and loving to everyone, no matter who you were. He had a beautiful heart and soul, and fans.....real fans.....love him for the music, but more importantly, for who he was.
I would be more than happy to send you links.
Thank you again for reacting to Elvis. It is appreciated more than you will ever know. ❤
Have a great day and let me know about those links.
In the meantime, here is one for you.

Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching Courtney! Appreciate the link, I'll take note of it. I'm currently listening to some of the most popular songs from artists I don't listen to, to build my following and I'll move to more obscure songs once I have more of an audience :D
@@DanCanReact Hi. No problem. Whenever you are ready, let me know and I can send you links. I really don't mind doing it.
Have a great day.
Try "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" by Queen. Freddie wrote it as a tribute to Elvis.

American Trilogy ❤❤❤
Actually it was THE FIRST LIVE CONCERT VIA SATELLITE IN HISTORY. IT WAS SEEN BY 1,5 MILLION PPL.
I think it was 1.5 billion, from what other people are saying, which is even crazier!!!
That's 1.5 billion, not million. 😂❤
@@jennyjorgensen9935 I made a mistake
You need to watch all of his!
He has 700 songs apparently! I have a lot to catch up on 😲
@@DanCanReact truth be told the song number is 800 and above from all I have gathered 😮😊❤
You should listen to his Gospel music. A few suggestions: "How Great thou art", "Crying in the Chapel", "Joshua fit the battle ob Jericho" or the Gospel production number from his '68 Comeback Special.
So much from Elvis that I haven't even heard a second of! Thanks for the suggestions.
Elvis is an icon! He has a very awesome voice. There are many more songs you can react too. Check out How Great Thou Art. It is a masterpiece. Love your reaction!
Thanks for watching Anita, and I always appreciate suggestions!
The best voice ever
Yeah, his voice is great!!
Watch Polk salad Annie , American Trilogy and Suspious minds live!!!!!
Polk Salad Annie sounds interesting, I'll check that one out next possibly!
@@DanCanReact it’s charisma personified
1970...live
(new sub -- Thank you.) BACKGROUND INFO: The original song is the French song entitled "Comme d'habitude" & composed by Jacques Revaux, Gilles Thibaut & Claude François. The English version (My Way) was written by Paul Anka who re-wrote the original version for Frank Sinatra. Anka changed the lyrics & subtly altered the melodic structure. The original French song has nothing to do w-Paul Anka’s written version as we know it, for the translation of "Comme d'habitude" meaning is “something that happens regularly” or “that isn't surprising.” There is a video of the original French version w-English subtitles on the internet.
Sinatra’s daughter Nancy said Sinatra did not like the song to the point of hating it. Sinatra said it was "self-serving" but performed it many times anyway.
Elvis did it all regards types of music -- country, gospel, r&b, etc., etc. -- there wasn't anything he could not do -- can't say the same for most singers.
Interesting! "comme d'habitude", is what I would say as a French speaker when someone asks how my day is going "like usual". Not at all similar to the "My Way" title, so I could definitely see how they changed it up, didn't know that!
Thanks for subbing and tuning in, I really appreciate it.
@@DanCanReact I have a comment re: what looked like you closing your eyes. While Elvis was tame & subdued in Hawaii, you can't take your eyes off of him when watching a live performance. Elvis was very spontaneous, he could do something totally unexpected, a hand motion, a swirl around, etc., he even flubbed a few lyrics & you'd see him laugh to himself all while singing right along as if nothing happened; he even very subtly "gave the finger" to someone on stage as a joke, all while going on w-the song. Elvis never repeated himself -- he would do 2, 3, or 4 versions & performances of the same song & they were all different -- not like now where everything is perfectly rehearsed. Once he did something, that was it -- he never repeated himself. So eyes open at all times. Thanks.
do more elvis please
Will do! This did very well :)
If you think his voice was powerful in this performance, and it is, but you are going to be floored when you react to some of his other live performances.
OMG!!! You have no idea what you are in for 😂. I can't wait to see your other Elvis reactions.
I sent another comment further down regarding links. Please let me know. ❤
I did see it! I will definitely react to more since this video did very well.
Listen to the impossible dream by Elvis. He has sooo many songs
You're right, he has hundreds of songs 😵
👑✌️
👑👑
Elvis Presley fue el 1 y el ultimo, nadie como el , solo sus hijos musicales, Freddie mercury y Michael jackson.
You're right!
Elvis was born on January 8, 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi, in a 2 room shack of a house his dad built with money he borrowed from his boss. That's how dirt poor they were. He was one half of identical twins; the other boy - Jesse Garon - was stillborn. They were so poor, that Jesse Garon was buried in a shoebox in an unmarked grave. At Graceland they have a plaque with his name on it in his memory.
Elvis always got along with the black community and learned a lot about music from his friends of color. Also, according to the one drop rule, Elvis would not be considered white, since he has Cherokee ancestors on both the Smith (his mother) and the Presley (his father) sides of the family. His paternal grandfather, Jesse Dunning Presley, was not happy that his two sons, Elvis' father Vernon and his brother Vester, married two sisters, Gladys and Clettes who were known to have Cherokee blood in their family tree. J.D. Presley was quite the racist a-hole, often drunk and a philandering husband to Minnie Mae (they were actually separated long before they finally divorced in 1954) who was always competing with his sons Vester and Vernon and who was known to abuse his kids when drunk. J.D. was publicly against race mixing and was in denial about the Cherokee blood in his own family tree. It was more publicly known that the Smith family had Native blood in their family tree, so when both his sons fell for 2 Smith sisters and Vernon, on top of that, was still a minor at 17 when he eloped with Gladys who was 4 years older than him, Jesse was totally pissed off.
As a child, Elvis already had many friends in the black community at the time his family was one of 4 "white" families that lived in the predominantly black neighborhood The Hill, just across from Shake Rag. His childhood friend Sam Bell said that some of the (black) kids in that neighborhood had lighter skin than Elvis. One of Elvis' bodyguards once said that he thought it was a miracle Elvis got into Humes High School in Memphis, because it was "lily white". Elvis wanted to be more open about his Native ancestry, but his manager "colonel" Tom Parker (real name Andreas van Kuijk) was against it because he was afraid it might cost Elvis fans (and himself money). They did have Elvis play characters in his movies though where he had Native American blood (Flaming Star, G.I. Blues, Stay Away Joe). Once Elvis had his own (apprentice) job learning to be an electrician, he saved up his money and bought his clothes in the same style that many of his friends of color wore. He was called a (forgive me, just stating facts here) "n-lover" and got beaten up several times too. Later, when he was an established star, he would not perform at places where the members of color of his back-up band/orchestra weren't allowed.
A quintessential rags to riches story! I'm very glad he was alive, to produce such amazing music that will be listened for years to come.
If you look up the word BLING in the dictionary you'll find a picture of Elvis
😂💯
A correction.
Elvis was king of rock'n 'roll. Michael Jackson was king of pop.
Great video
Look at Elvis performing American Trilogy or unchained melody. (From his last live performance)
Fair enough! Thanks for letting me know, appreciate you watching and listening to my final thoughts as well!
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 hound dog, blue suede shoes, burning love, jailhouse rock, guitar man, and many more
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 also. Type in on any search site King of rnr and I promise you it will say Elvis Presley.
Even great artists like John Lennon say before Elvis ther was nothing n
Elvis his moves made it possible for many artists to show of their moves on stageb
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 just ask google ore anyone who even lives during his time on tour. Who is king of rock'n roll
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 Elvis created the genre as we understand it today; rock ‘n’ roll roll. it Began with him. That’s why we can say. He’s the king of it! Get off your negative high horse about Elvis why don’t you, because 99% of the people who listen to reactions or just to Elvis’s music itself don’t agree with you. Nor would they or do they appreciate your attitude and position on one of the most wonderful special talents that God ever created. PERIOD!
Why does his voice seem as if it has been adjusted a tad lower here than in the original. Anyone else hear that?
It was so my video wouldn't get blocked WORLDWIDE due to copyright (since that was what happened when I was uploading it).

Try american trilogy from that concert and also what now my love ?
Thanks for the suggestion Martino!
😂Please reaction Queen - Liar Live at the rainbow 🥺🥺😅🥰🙏
Thanks for returning to watch this video! I'm still curious which anime the hair in your profile picture is from lol
Vocally and emotionally the 1977 version of this song is even "better ". Just the tip.of the amazing Elvis "mountain".
700+ song mountain😮 So much to listen to!
I love Elvis ❤rip . Just my opinion but Freddie Mercury is the GOAT ❤️rip my Freddie . Elvis and Freddie had different styles .
It's all about personal taste, but both are very talented!!
King of rock and roll not pop
Technically both and more, he did so many genres!
Elvis.. the first King of Bling.. not doubt. Elvis I think sang it best.. Better than Frank Sinatra.. but did you just call Elvis the King of Pop??? Sweetie.. Elvis was the King of Rock.. Michael Jackson was the King of Pop.
It's not completely wrong to be fair, cause pop encapsulates music that is popular over a broad audience, and Elvis was appreciated by billions of people. So I could argue he is the king of Pop as well!
You have to listen to Frank Sinatras singing this.
Oooo, that's a good idea!
King of Rock n Roll, not Pop
In some ways he was the king of pop, since his music was so widespread and popular, but that's true!
It was played at a slower pace. You try another one and you’ll see. His voice was too deep. Strange.
This was for copyright reasons, I listened to it normally, but my video was being blocked worldwide when I first uploaded it. I needed to make necessary changes so it could be uploaded, but PLEASE do listen to the original video to enjoy it how it was intended, I linked it in the description😁
@@DanCanReact Oh I see yes. Thank you.
Everybody else even now comes a very very poor 2nd.
Good job but your face should be really small when your competing with this guy.
Lol, maybe, but this is my channel and my reaction so that wouldn't make sense 😝
This was unfortunately when his drug abuse began to take it's toll on him 😢😢
Ah... So that's what made him pass. I heard he was in the restroom when he passed away, but I didn't know from what. That's sad. Such a talented man.
What's wrong with the sound - it's off mate, Elvis is too deep. The actual sound you can hear his baratone and vibrato working in tandem. ua-cam.com/video/ixbcvKCl4Jc/v-deo.html
I addressed this issue to someone else who commented, but it was for copyright reasons. This video was blocked worldwide and I had to take several measures just to get it up on the channel (I had to reupload 4 times)... Including flipping the video, using color correction and fading it the video. If you want to experience the actual song, I already linked it in the description upon posting! The point of this video is to get my reaction, but that can't happen if the video is blocked 😅
