    And to think, he had ZERO training! Truly God given and blessed with good looks, too. This was my very first favorite song. I had my mama worn out playing that record(yes, vinyl) a million times in a roll! 😂
    If you haven’t done his rendition of Bridge Over Troubled Water, it’s a must! I promise, he makes you feel his words. Just so beautiful and touching.

    He was such a shy person if u can believe that but somehow changed onstage...still retaining his humble and fun ways - he never understood why he was SO popular all his life....very spiritual and a deeper person than most realise.
    Thankyou for the upload 🤟🏼💞 Never seen the full talking bit before & after...plus i LOVE when he goes totally wild like a rag doll ...he never rehearesed, just moved as the music took him...never be another RIP ELVIS u gave ur all 🙏

    "May God bless you as he's blessed me". Said at the most fever pitch moment of his life and maybe modern musics most fever pitch moment. The nation was blessed with new music, new dance moves and a new type of stage presence this night and they loved it. But its not only the man's undeniable and uniquely God given talents, it was his HUMBLENESS that won him over. He could have just bragged about his stellar performance as most would do given a microphone and TV audience after the song ----but when all the lights and attention was on him HE asked GOD TO BLESS US. THAT is a LEGEND MOMENT that changed a lot of minds about Elvis and black music and white music. He broke down walls right there and he would continue the fight to break down music walls and social walls through his music and actions until his untimely death in 1977.

      Nobody said that Elvis invented dancing. Come on David, don`t be so damn stiff! He was unique and even more than that. Your arguments are very dull. After Elvis, any black musician had the chance to sell as many records as Elvis. But for some "odd reason" nobody, white or black, came even close. Stay cool and give credit where credit is due. Nobody gets famous for nothing if you like them or not.

    As a teenage girl, I used to go see Elvis movies on Saturdays. 'Girls, girls, girls', 'Love me Tender', 'Casino Royal' & on & on. Many TV shows refused to show him from the waste down because of his 'vulgar' hip movements. LOL All the best acts were on Ed Sullivan. The Beatles' first US debut was on Ed Sullivan & I sat on my parents floor & saw them & the girls reactions were just like this. LOL

      The only two acts that brought this level of excitement were Elvis and the Beatles. That’s it. Later, MJ got pretty darn close (save it-I know he was up there), but that’s it. Those three. That’s the Mount Rushmore. May be others (Dylan, Sinatra, the Stones, Queen, The Beach Boys, etc), but in my opinion, those three acts experienced a level of fame noone else did. Had people passing out, having to be carted off on stretchers, and couldn’t go out in public without being absolutely harassed. Don’t know if I’d want that.

    "This man could dance, this man could sing, this man had it all!"
    You are spot on. This was a fab performance of a classic track. He was 21 in 1956 and he had the world at his feet. As you can hear from the screaming, TV was live - no autotune and no do-overs if you messed up.
    It's 2021 so it's difficult to appreciate the impact that he had at that time; the only thing I can say is that nobody had ever seen anything like Elvis before.
    I really enjoyed your warm reaction. It's good to see younger people reacting to Elvis.

      Sally, You are right..He only had one more performance in January..After 10+ appearances, sponsors pressured CBS to censor..Go Figure..Think the "Damage" was done by then..LOL...The Rest is History...CBS and Ed had grown very fond of Elvis by now and just before the last show they telegrammed Elvis and suggested he close with a spiritual/Gospel, so Elvis chose his Mother's Favorite. Peace in The Valley...If you go to the Official Graceland You Tube channel in their "Archives' Series, they show the actual telegram from CBS and ED.....

      ​@@ianraymondback Actually, i'm also a huge fan since way back as well. I think you are mixing television appearances as "live concert "MOVIES", and they are not considered the same. Elvis did 31 movies and two concert documentaries. Those would be different than Elvis appearing on live t.v. which we know he did a #, including the Aloha from Hawaii, and the Frank Sinatra appearance. Let me know which is the 3rd concert documentary he did? A big of background, Elvis was under contract to continue to do two more movies, but gave them the concert documentaries because he didn't want to do more movies. Respectfully, just trying to make sure we get the right info documented. Let me know otherwise.

    What is truly amazing about all the screaming is that this is a TV show at a time when the youth culture was just beginning (thanks almost completely to Elvis), so this was not a concert full of teenagers like one of his regular shows. This was a TV show so only a small section of the audience were teenage girls. The great majority of the audience were older people there just to see an Ed Sullivan Show. If that studio would've been packed with teenagers it would've been deafening.

    This is the kind of material that the impersonators go after when Elvis was really young like 20 years old or something but the man what an athlete was that guy? That's just insane.

    ALOHA HAWAII watch the complete video. It was a fun raiser for the cancer center and had sold so many tickets there hat to do 2 shows. One was the night before the via satellite around the world. They raised about three time what the goal was set. But you need to watch the whole concert. watch until he was completely off stage. His last song from this concert and every concerts was always olosed with
    "Can't help falling in love" but this concert at the end of the show he threw his cape out in the audience. No one ever new who had it or where it was. A man died a few months back and he donated the cape back to the Elvis museum. Jumpsuite and cape finally together again. True fan to do that. But it is a must to watch the whole concert from start to finished. When he leaves the stage. And notify me I would love to see you watching

    As simple as this performance looks now, it was a new thing to see such actions on stage, parents hated him as the country was largely conservative christian back then. When Elvis first started many radio stations would not play his records, some stations even stopped playing rock and roll all together and made a big deal out of it - until they saw all the money they were losing and things gradually loosened up.

    Since seeing the Elvis movie 5 times and waiting for it to be released on bluray, I've been watching every Elvis reaction I can find. I'm 45 so I'm too young to have been around when he was alive but I still grew up on him because my Mom has his records. I didn't care about what was cool in the 80s, to me Elvis was everything.
    What is so hard for people today to comprehend, is that until Elvis came out no one moved like that. No one sang like that. No one showed enjoyment and having fun on stage performing, and no one really toured. Artists like Perry Como and Bing Crosby, who were the top of the charts right at the time Elvis came out, would put their records out and perform on the variety shows, and that would be it. Elvis's overwhelming demand created what we now know of as a "tour" for rock bands today simply because so many people wanted to see Elvis. That had never happened before.
    The older generation didn't know what to make of him or his music. But the kids...... every girl wanted him and every guy wanted to be him. He was the first star that both sexes found appealing.

    The First Time He Was On This Show. They Would Try & Just Show Upper Waist. He Really Held Back In This Show Appearance & He Made A Little Funny Showing That. Yep He had To Hold Back A Lot In Those Days. I Loved Him & Still Do. Thank You For Showing Him #HOG
