Love that song 57 long time ago
The most charismatic singer entertainer and humanitarian ever. No one today can match his brilliance. And no auto tunes !!
Thanks for your reaction.
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 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 (ua-cam.com/video/LrFCyNMvZWk/v-deo.html). 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.
So many great songs 1) Suspicious Minds 1970 live in Law Vegas 2) Just Pretend 1970 Live 3) Bridge over troubled water 1970 live 4) I just can't help believing 1970 live 5) In the Ghetto 1970 live 6) The wonder of you 1970 live 7) If I can dream 1968 comeback special ... His Aloha Special in 1973 ... 1) American Trilogy 2) What now my love ( The rehearsal one) 3) Fever 4) Memories 4) Give me a mountain ...and so many more 😍😍
Yep!
Blue Christmas!!
You might notice, they only shot his upper body. That's because establishment complained about his sexy girations on stage. Basically the censored his hips. He did what they called the Elvis Pelvis.
When he appeared in my hometown in 1955, my mom was pregnant with me. They wouldn't let him wear his tight pants on stage and restricted his dancing. He borrowed a pair of pants from our local DJ to perform. Years later in his "comeback concert he mentions a town in Florida where he was only allowed to move his little finger while singing. He was talking about my hometown Fort Myers Florida. My mom was told by her doctor she couldn't attend the concert because of her pregnancy. I don't think she ever forgave me. She loved Elvis and had all his albums and his singles. I have them today. She passed in 2014.
… ELVIS … A Singer for eternity !! ✨💎✨ 🕺🏻🕯 Thank you
Elvis's chameleon voice changed multiple times in his very short life.
His voice is otherworldly
Elvis is always a 10.👍
SO GOOD. ELVIS THE BEST. TO THIS DAY HE IS. THANK YOU. THE MORE YOU WATCH HIM THE MORE YOU'LL IKE HIM
Elvis always the best
So talented and funny all his life. Even his old songs are timeless for me.
Thank you so much for playing his early songs!☀️
not his songs
If you listen to the Million Dollar Quartet recordings from 1956, Elvis tells a story about seeing a guy perform Don't Be Cruel in Vegas. Elvis said he sang the song "much better than that record of mine". Then he cracks everybody up doing an impersonation of the singer. He especially emphasizes the "a-at least please... a-TEL-a-phone" multiple times and that he ended the song with a "big finish". He said the guy was "just a member of Billy Ward's Dominoes. Elvis didn't know at the time but that singer turned out to be the great Jackie Wilson. This performance is Elvis incorporating elements of Jackie's performance into his own. Which is why he kind of laughs after "a-Tel-a-phone". It's kind of an inside joke but he did really love Jackie's interpretation and incorporated Jackie's vocal styling into his own.

Thank you! If you have anymore recommendations please let us know. We are always open to listening to something different.
Notice he's being shot from the waist up... the FCC or something back then got upset about the fact that he moved his hips... so he was not allowed to be shot from the waist down after his first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show
elvis seemed to be a very humble young man in his early days
Sorry for you guys , that you were not alive back then.You missed the best of times.
Suspicion minds its so amazing amazing 😍😍
Just have to say.. he had the charisma when he was 22/23 yrs old.. the grin, those cheek bones.. he was just beautiful. This was 10 yrs b4 I was born.. I'm laughing right now because I don't think either one of you got the reference to his biggest record.. lmao... I know my older children might but my youngest. 24 .. no..
Adorable!! ❤😊😊
This was Mohammed Ali’s favorite early Elvis song.
Elvis was also 22 years old here. Same as your grandfather.

Actually the reason that Elvis👑 was swinging his arms around is because there was such an uproar in the nation because of his pelvic thrusts & gyrations, that the Ed Sullivan Show could only have him on the show again by filming him only from the waist up. The audience was waiting for him to start rocking & when he waved his arms around, they went absolutely insane. Elvis was under a lot of stress during this performance because of the uproar his pelvic thrusts & gyrations was causing. In so doing Elvis literally changed the world. Elvis also has the highest television ratings in history to this day, & he knew that literally everyone in the nation was watching him live. If Elvis had not stood for the right to such freedom of expression back then, no one would be able to perform the way they do today. These are just some of the reasons that to this day, 66 years later, Elvis IS The Undisputed King Of Rock & Roll👑; & that Elvis IS also rightly known as The King👑, period.
Rock On🎶,

React to "american trilogy" 1973 aloha from Hawai'i concert. You'll never stop listening to him afterwards
He was being filmed from the waist up because of his dance moves before were considered vulgar. You can tell he was not happy. The Ed Sullivan show was watched by much of the country every week. There was only network TV back then. No cable or internet, so this was the only game in town.
Please react to Sucpisious minds from Elvis. 1970 live version from las vegas is the best!
Your Grandfather was 22 , well guess what Elvis was also 22 when he performed this 😂
10 all day atleasr she didnt give it a 4
Can you make reaction to his beautiful song called "Sound of your cry" please
You got it. Is there a better version you would rather have. Like a live version or studio version?
@GuzmanReactions
Unfortunately there's no live version
So studio version would be great
Thank you
Hello! Please react to poison "fallen angel"
thanks
Interestingly, your grandad must have been the same age as Elvis.
Your papa was same age tgen as Elvis
you daughter might like something more current here some suggestion 1970 LIVE FROM VEGAS (BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS) LIVE FROM 1973 FROM HAWAII SPECIAL (AMERICAN TRILOGY) THEN AGAIN LIVE FROM HIS 1968 COMBACK SPECIAL 2 SONGS IST ONE (MEMORIES) 2 ND ONE ONE OF HIS GREATEST PERFORMACES (IF I CAN DREAM) WHICH WAS TRIBUTE TO MLK JUST AFTER HE GOT ASSINATED give it a try also will bring you a lot of subsciibers
Ed Sullivan would NOT allow Elvis the Pelvis to be shown from the waist down. Sullivan had a family show and Elvis’ bumping and grinding was too steamy for his tv viewers. The audience was swooning because they could see all of Elvis’ moves
He was banned from waist as parents were complaining he should be banned as he wasnad influence on kids too sexual to see his hips moving and swaying😮 the moves today are Xrated😊
To really understand Elvis.. Please watch Elvis and the Black Community
Why do you have to cuss when you talk?
He sure doesn’t sound very bright when he talks..
Young and inexperienced in public speaking. He was very polished later on, an avid reader and a generous heart. On top of his talent he was an amazing human being.
Not really, you just don’t understand he has a very southern voice and he wasn’t used to talking in front of people, watch a interview with him in 1960 he talks very well 😂
Listen to answer your question on why they scream when he moves. These dance moves nobody ever did them back then. He was the first he was breaking barriers and the women were loving it. But the reason they went crazy is because he was a handsome man and every woman wanted to be his wife they wanted to be Priscilla presley.
