He had such a way to tell a story with his voice. Anybody else could stand up there and sing that song, and it wouldn’t even come close.
Such a beautiful meaningful message even back then. How relevant it is today.
Goodness. I think you know by now that I'm an admirer and I'm so happy you listened to this powerful song. It is a timeless piece and could easily be done today. Elvis knew the songs that mattered and this one clearly shows this. Thank you so much for taking the time to find it. I'm forever grateful for all you do.
Thank you so much for your kind words Cynthia. Means a lot to me. Have a great day!
This song surely hit home for Elvis presley. He sings this song w so much compassion.
Thanks John. Great Reaction to an Awesome Song. Yes Mac Davis Wrote it. Elvis Brought it to life. Some People Didn’t want him To Record it. I’m Glad He Did. Thanks again. Keep um Coming. The Jumpsuit he’s Wearing is The Ladder Suit. Designed by Bill Belew.
Thank you so much Pete!
Loved it it as always. Elvis makes every song his own ..He's the best ❤️💓🎤🎸🎧🎹🎼
Another Elvis masterpiece. Sung in a period when subjects like this were somehow, tabu.
Great song with a message these gems when he broke away from love based songs always a treat
His manager didn't want him to do this song but he did it.! Elvis grew up in poverty ,so he knew! Thank you for bringing this beautiful song with this strong message , to us!
Yesss I am the first💃 there is no one like Elvis....never ever❤❤❤thanks again johnny boy🙋🏻♀️💋🤣ohh..not the first...🤦🏻♀️🤣
Thank you so much! 😊
Great React Jhon!!!, Emotional song
Thank you Nikolay!
Apparently this song was offered to Sammy Davis Jr but he said that he couldn't relate to it and he then suggested that they offered it to Elvis because he could relate to it.
Very special song.elvis was very caring. Mac davis wrote the song .and elvis sang .against the colonel not wanting elvis to do it .
This performance is for someone whose idea of Elvis is "That rocker in the 50`s who sang Hound Dog" I prefer studio version, but it is always a treat too see Elvis perform.
Funny how time slips away,, give it a listen, I think you'll like it...
Amen to that
Hi john its barbara from australia great song your reaction is so perfect you show compassion to elvis and his music on your face and your eyes your song is fantastic you have a great voice why dont you sing a elvis love song or gospel that is one of my favourite outfits elvis is wearing because my football team are the same colours they are called manly warringah sea eagles and our football is called the nrl take care and god bless keep safe by barbara
Thank you so much Barbara! That's awesome. They are from Sidney right? Have a great day! God bless. John
Definitely a great song it was written by Mac Davis in the late 60s Elvis made it a number one hit! Also Foreigner Dirty White Boy is about Elvis Presley about being poor and coming up to being very rich and successful and breaking all of the records God bless peace be with you TCB
That's awesome. Thank you very much!
at the end, the baby being born is his son, so as this man dies, his son
is doomed to repeat his father's actions... like he did. horrifically
sad!
Great to react to John! I’ll take a live heart felt performance any day over a processed and produced studio version. No auto tune then for artist to make them sound great live! It’s part of the brilliance of his talent! Keep up the great work John! It’s great to see a reaction from a real artist like yourself bro! Peace and success to you!
Thank you so much Roger! I really appreciate it!
A message some didn't like. Elvis held and would not pull the song.
Message combined with that incredible voice. He made his own,
Didn't bend to PC group. Like Bridge Over Troubled Water this is his. Waste for anyone to record today. Magic may have been the feeling, he sang with. I don't know, I just know it could bring tears to eyes.
THE gold voice x 1.000.000.000😭😥😭😥😭😥😭😥😭😥😭😥
He put his money where his mouth is..one example every xmas in Memphis he donated $100k to 50 charities and any fan would tell u that was only the bare tip of the iceberg
Yes!!
Love this version of the song mate, good reaction too
Thank you mate!
Check out " Now and Then There's a Fool Such As I " from Elvis.
I'll check it out!
Great reaction...! I'm going to pretend it was because of my request & say thank you...!
=)
Yes! Thank you very much! :)
This was 1970 performance. Nothing has changed, much worse actually.
I wonder how this man would react to the world today.
Great song by the greatest artist ever.
Great delivery of this message song ... the master version has the edge ... but it is still great ... Mac was inspired by his black friend who was from the ghetto ... he wrote memories that elvis sang in the 68 comeback too ... there is an interview on you tube where he goes to the movies with elvis in the late seventies ... great story check it out ... thanks johnx
Thanks for the information! That's great!
The studio version is better, but this is still a great version too. Great reaction keep the Elvis reactions coming.
Thank you so much!
Elvis, forever 13/05/2020.
Bill Medley of the Rightous Brothers in an interview said Mac Davis... who wrote "In The Ghetto" offered it to the Rightous Brothers first. Bill told Mac to send it to Elvis... he was going to record a couple of Albums in Nashville... Mac sent it to Elvis.... and the rest is history. Bill said that The Rightous Brothers thought they'd already done enough social protest type songs and were looking for something else... Bill and Elvis were good friends. Go to youtube and put in "Bill Medley remembers Elvis"... it's about 10 minutes long.... 😀 also youtube
Bill Medley "songs he did and did not do". A clip from the same Interview.
Great information! Thank you very much!
I believe Elvis would be proud to know how you responded to his song
you pay very close attention I like that and I believed he would too
Thank you so much! Means a lot to me!
Elvis presley new orleans + saved
Hey JG! Loved your Route 66 song...Bluesy singing and the guitar was cool and bluesy too, fantastic my friend! Great reaction as usual and yes the message is very important even now unfortunately. On to the next....
Thank you so much Paul! I really appreciate your comments 😊
@John Gi... Obrigada pelo vídeo ameeei!!! Bjs!❤🎀❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Obrigada! 😊
Hey John. My in the ghetto was private. But it's public now. Hope you watch it. Use headphones. It makes the karaoke sound a little better😃. Its not near as good as Elvis's. No one sings like him.😃
Found it! Great vocals Bill. Have a good day and keep it up ☺️👍
@@johngibsonmusic Thanks buddy.
John canção linda que nos faz refletir a vida . Thank. You .... 😏😏😏😏👋👋👋🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🇧🇷
Thank you so much!😊
are you aware that President Trump Awarded to Elvis, the highest award an American citizen can get, it was called the American Freedom Award? Check it out it's on U TUBE.
Yes! I've watched the video!
Gre
I honestly think he is one of the masters, like Mozart, or Beethoven, one in a thousand years star! Great reaction! Also....I have read comments where people prefer the studio version a little more though both are great. I feel the same except I like the live version slightly more. I usually do like Elvis' live versions a little better which is rare for me because the other music legend(s) I am a huge fan of, Led Zeppelin, I almost always prefer the studio versions.
I say infinity and beyond 😂🤣
@@jrc5515 lol, that's right!
THE KING!!! Forever!!!!
Elvis songs delivered not just on message but relevance. ♥️
Such a meaningful song that spans the decades, with a message that all should hear. Mac Davis written, Elvis performed--magical combination.
I agree! Great combination.
Of course I love watching Elvis singing this song live, however as many other people have already said the studio version is really the one to go to if you want to get the total experience and emotion of this amazing song. It's always been a mystery to me how this song was not number one in the USA or the UK and for many weeks come to that!! Anyway once again thanks JG you are doing our man proud.
I totally agree! Thank you very much!
This is my wife's favorite song of Elvis's. She said thanks for posting it. Good job 👍.
Thank you! 😊
Maybe you can do amazing Grace🙏🤗?
Great idea! Thank you! 😊
@@johngibsonmusic 🤜🏻🤛🏻😌
Great track
Bravo another great song sung by Elvis
My second favorite Elvis song, it has such meaning and is still so relivent and unfortunately the answer to his questions... do we simply turn our heads and look the other way.. is way to often yes ~ yes we do ! It's so sad that in the greatest, richest country in the world we still don't take care of those in need. I like the live version best because you can see the emotion in Elvis's face when he sing it. Thx John...♡
Great comment. Thank you so much Connie!
The people who live in the ghettos already get more welfare than others. Throwing riches at people isn't the answer.certain people would prefer to make easy money selling drugs than look for work
@@raymondturner1478 you just said certain people, yeah there are certain people who will always take the easy way, but thats not most people ~ most of us just want opportunities for better education for our children, better jobs opportunities, sometimes people just need a hand up especially kids...♡
@@connieleighton4375 Sorry I'm not that naive.
@@raymondturner1478 so true......it just make people lazy....refuse to work....more children more welfare......its disgusting....ta
Yes John this song is ageless. .and a powerful reminder of problems that still exist today. His backup singers and band were outstanding. Simply beautiful and heartfelt. ...love Elvis always ❤
Thank you so much John,god bless you ❤👑💯🌟💎⚡ TCBTLC ⚡ 🇺🇸🇵🇷👍 ☝🙋🛐🙏 amen.
Thank you so much 😊🎶 God bless!
Great, but the studio version is much better!
Love this song. Agree with your reaction! ❤❤❤
That's awesome! 😊
Good song
he used to sing about what it used to be like, but if you listened to the song there is no difference in the present
Great song!
Powerful song,so much meaning,still makes me cry....Loved the way he sang this song,Thank you John
I agree! Thank you very much!
@@johngibsonmusic Your welcome
Esse e o maior hino de protesto que um astro pode cantar e o elvis desafiou os capitalistas alertando de que exuste o outro lado da moeda e que seres humanos estao nascesndo sem oportunidades devidas que lhes cabem estamos com vc elvis fantastico e visionario elvis preskey o mito a lenda de memphis
If you are a guitar player you need to check lot Stevie Ray Vaughan. Texas Flood at the Mocambo. He will blow your mind all the way through, but at one point your jaw will drop. Can't say why.
Love SRV! I'll check it out 😊
Are you ready to do some reactions to a few Elvis songs you may never listen to before, "Gentle on My Mind" How about "If we never meet again", "It's your baby you rock it", one more song, for now, Fairy Tales? I will be listening to your reaction, got plenty more.
Thank you so much. I'll definitely check them out 😊
It’s a cycle, repeating over and over again 😪😪😪. One of my favorite songs! Elvis looked and sounded great at this time 😍🎤🌟💖‼️
Great reaction John keep elvis reactions coming your the best X love the song elvis sings so beautiful also sad 😔 God bless you ☓ 💜 ❤️ 👍 2019 x
Thank you so much! 😊😊
I always liked this song by him. It was one of my first ones I bought of his. It helped me to become another fan of his 🎶🎶 before I ever saw 👀👀him on TV. I became a fan later than most, because I was 20 years younger than Elvis. You never did answer what was it that made you become so fond of Elvis' singing?
+Rebecca Robbins That's awesome! Johnny Cash's hit "Ring Of Fire" got me in to Elvis. I was listening to it on the radio and after that I was searching for it on UA-cam. They recommended me "That's Alright" by Elvis. That's how I became a fan 😊
