Suspicious Minds must be live in Las Vegas----In the Ghetto------If I can Dream-------Elvis and the black Community. Nice job by the way, I am a 73 year old guy and its nice to see young people discovering Elvis.
When Elvis died I was in the South. You coulda heard a pin drop when the radio announced, " The King is dead" - In the giant campground bathrooms ALL the women were crying. It was so sad.
Sweetie he really grew up in the deep south, he knew more in his short years then me, in my 60's and you at where ever you. I was lucky to have grown up with him part of my life.....
Elvis is not just a singer, he changed the world for the black community for the betterment and inclusion into the music world google Elvis and the Black community what the community said about him. ❤
Well, there ya go; the most loved, beloved artist in history. The most successful selling male solo artist in history....and he died in 1977. An icon bigger than life who's influence is still felt today...I mean, they just did a movie celebrating him last year...blockbuster hit.
Anyone that plays a Elvis Presley SONG deserves a like. Check out live from vegas " You've lost that loving feeling and Suspicious Minds " there are so many AMAZING performances of Elvis Presley in his Vegas show. Down the rabbit hole you go enjoy what true real music is.🎶🎤🎸🎹🎵🎼👑
You deserve a lot more views this reaction!! Yours was genuine and authentic! Trust me brother, us “old heads” will flock to your channel if you go on an Elvis journey. We already know! And we love to see ANY generation discover his brilliance for the first time! Welcome to the club!
His motions were used to direct his band and singers on stage. Elvis controlled everything on stage with these motions, espdcially directed toward his friend and drummer.
Thank you for your reaction to Elvis (Jan. 8, 1935-Aug. 16, 1977). It's so great to see younger generations discover him and understand what makes him such a great artist, that even 46 years after his death, he still gains new fans! 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.
My 15 yr old son is an Artistic roller skater ( just like a figure skating but on wheels) He had a crash course in Elvis as he's skating to a melody of his songs in National competition. .. He's just loves him and has posters on his wall, and has an Elvis Presly haircut as well!
Goldenchildry, You made it so much fun watching your reaction to seeing and hearing Elvis perform! Thanks for the enthusiasm. Wishing you the very best for your channel, keep it up.
Thank you for reacting to Elvis! He’s amazing, looking forward to seeing you react to more Elvis. Please react to 1968 Come Back Special, song “Trying to get to you”. Thank you!
JailHouse Rock, Hound Dog from the Ed Sullivan Show, If I Can Dream from the 68 Comeback Special (wearing the white suit). In fact just react to all the songs from the 68 Comeback Special…
Great reaction Elvis always put 💯 % of himself into every song and performance, welcome to the world of Elvis Presley the greatest showman/entertainer, singer of all time
Band is super tight w him.. they watch him continuously so they can accent each of his moves. He does things spontaneously so band has to be their toes!
I’m so happy that your young brothers are moving about Elvis Presley because he got a bad wreck which I don’t know why but if you want to read to another video 1970s Vegas concert suspicious minds same concert
I guess ima old head 🤣 Honey I grew up in the 70’s and my Mama was an Elvis groupie, I LOVED him then & now … one of a kind … his voice, the musicians, backup singers & quartet … he interacted with them all during concerts and it was an amazing site … I saw him love when I was a kid, still best show to this date 💕 Thanks for listening and exploring music … google his speech about “Without a song “ ❤
Stevie ray vaughn live You won't regret. He debuted at montreal blues fest and was booed at first till they realized they were in presence of a guitar god. The next year couldn't get enough of him. I suggest srv live videos
Im a younger Elvis fan being born 8 years after his death. I guess 30s is old to you lol. Thanks for a great reaction and thanks for keeping Elvis alive. This from a third generation Elvis fan. Love me tender live 1970 will blow your mind.
You should listen to him singing "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" (Glory Glory Hallelujah) and "My Way". Both are chilling. Also, listen to Sammy Davis Jr. Sing "My Way". Absolutely beautiful!
Listen to what Bobby Womack says in the documentary about Elvis coming through the tv and his energy grabbing you. It's called Elvis & The Black Community.
So happy 5o see your reaction! I was fortunate enough to see Elvis in concert 8 times. Each time was incredible. His moves while singing were not rehearsed his body just took over and he was off to the races. Incredible man! If you want to see emotion from him watch from his last concert American Trilogy. Enjoy him he was the best!!!
I suggest Jailhouse Rock from 1957 when he was 22. It is a song and dance number scene, from his 3rd movie entitled Jailhouse Rock. It was filmed in black and white, but there is also a colorized version on UA-cam.
He felt the music from his soul. Never knew what would come out next. He was amazing and huge cut up, always made ya laugh. I'm proud to call him my blood ❤️ Love your reactions 😅
Nice reaction to the greatest entertainer that’s ever walked this planet ! If you haven’t seen the new movie “ ELVIS “ that came out in 2022 , you should watch it sometime to get a better understanding of his life from a dirt poor childhood to being discovered as a young singer to becoming the worlds first real Superstar! It’s a great movie that shows the human side of Elvis as even he had many disappointments, tragedy and heartbreak that went along with his great accomplishments in his amazing life and career
New subscriber. Glad you are learning what this Man was all about. There are over 700 songs -- a very large amount of all types of songs. Seeing him this way you will see the real person, hear his amazing voice & his great performances. Elvis was a big joker & did many funny things in his performances & he never did the same thing 2ce, he never repeated himself. Here he is talking about Poke Sallet (correct spelling) from the poisonous Pokeweed plant & the hut 2 3 4 is from his days in the Army. Thank you.
If this is your first song by him you've heard, you've missed out on soooo very much. He does rock, country, soul, and, Gospel music. He also opened some of his concerts with a lick of classical music. I never saw him in concert. But, this video is only a little taste of his greatness. You need to watch his "Aloha From Hawaii" concert. And, that is the best live album I've ever heard done by anyone. There are so many songs by him that I love so I can't really pick an absolute favorite one. But, you may get a similar "feeling" from his songs "Suspicious Minds" and "Fever." Also, his song called "Rubberneckin'" is a GOOD 'UN !!! !!! Let's not forget how he was in so many movies, too !!! And, try out some of his other songs if you want to. Oh, and, I believe it's actually "Poke Salad Annie." 😻 TYSM for sharing this video with us.
That's one of my favourites :) I'm an old rocker chick, but I do like quite a few Elvis songs. LOVED the movie with Austin Butler. He was amazing. Totally hot. I can't believe he actually made that outfit look good
I really enjoy your reactions. Actually, the plant he's talking about is spelled "poke salad". I heard about it from my mom who grew up in Missouri in the 1920's and '30s. She was the kid with the tote sack going out to get the poke salad and carry it home. Her name wasn't Annie, tho'. One of my favorite Elvis songs.
This popped up in my feed and so I subscribed hoping for more Elvis. The thing was this was 1970 in Vegas, and there are a lot of great clips from this show. But he also first became a superstar about the age of 20 in the mid-1950s. So just think about that. There's a lot of Elvis to watch from when he was really really young all the way through up here and also up to within seven weeks right before his tragic and early death. If you really want to hear him sing and pour his soul into it, check out the iconic tribute to Martin Luther King from the finale to close his 1968 Comeback Special. If I Can Dream. You can't miss it, he's in a white suit with a red tie with his name really large behind him. I've seen it so many times and it still gives me goosebumps and it still means so much today. One of the greatest performances ever.
Elvis' biggest problem was that he was too huge and too beautiful for this small universe. Elvis was a king from another universe.
Suspicious Minds must be live in Las Vegas----In the Ghetto------If I can Dream-------Elvis and the black Community. Nice job by the way, I am a 73 year old guy and its nice to see young people discovering Elvis.
Back in the day the way that he moved on stage was considered vulgar and obscene by a great many. Elvis opened a door for sure :)
All of his live stuff from the 50's to the 70's, Elvis was better live!
Here we Go.... Another smart kid discovering Elvis greatness.. 👍🙏👏
Love Elvis

Sweetie he really grew up in the deep south, he knew more in his short years then me, in my 60's and you at where ever you. I was lucky to have grown up with him part of my life.....

ELVIS is the Man 😎

It’s so fun watching you react to all our favorite singers and bands!!
I’m an old head and love this ! Sharing with my fellow old heads. You’re doing great kiddo!
If you like his moves in this song, Suspicious Minds is a MUST !!!!
Yes, the 1970 version, live from Las Vegas!!!
His motions were used to direct his band and singers on stage. Elvis controlled everything on stage with these motions, espdcially directed toward his friend and drummer.
Thank you for your reaction to Elvis (Jan. 8, 1935-Aug. 16, 1977). It's so great to see younger generations discover him and understand what makes him such a great artist, that even 46 years after his death, he still gains new fans!

It's good for the Young Generation it's getting to know Elvis
Totally 100 💯 right 👍💖

Band is super tight w him.. they watch him continuously so they can accent each of his moves. He does things spontaneously so band has to be their toes!
The song I like best that I can think of from Elvis was jailhouse rock
Also, "In the Ghetto" is AWESOME.
He’s 8th degree black belt in karate so he’s incorporating that into his moves.
Baby boy meet the King. Enjoy.
I’m so happy that your young brothers are moving about Elvis Presley because he got a bad wreck which I don’t know why but if you want to read to another video 1970s Vegas concert suspicious minds same concert
I think these moves were considered very provocative for TV at that time... look where we've come since then! He was very groundbreaking back then!
اعظم فنان على مر العصور لم ولن يتكرر الملك بدون منازع
Your reactions are great! Keepin’ the old artists alive!
Elvis was the king of rock n roll and Micheal was the king of pop!
Michael was the Prince of Pop.
Great job 👏 Elvis has a very long list of songs worth listening to so it's hard to choose one.
Please react to "If I can dream" or "In the Ghetto" by Elvis - thank you
"Messin' with my cells" - correct.
Good to see young people finding the talent of Elvis.
Youre a great young man! Elvis is the original badass!

Elvis is doing the drumming moves that the drummer is following . Elvis is The conducter of all songs and music, does this with his body moves
