In 1959 , Elvis rode in to a small Restaurant on a Harley with 2 more riders . In a small town Odonville, Alabama. My dad and mom , me and my Sister were eating. I was only 8 , but my mom and dad knew exactly who he was .He paid for our dinner and talk with my dad as if just a normal thing . Never forgot that. He was a very sweet caring man .
I was born two years after he was gone, i was brought up on music, i have listened to everything, every style of music, i have seen many artists live. My favourite my hero is Elvis, the older i get the more i love him and realize he will always be the greatest artist of all time the King of music
We often drive a wedge when we are sharing the Gospel. She said timing is everything. He is not prideful and boastful. Jumping the gun and laying on scripture out of season (heavy handed, pressure laced altar call) could snap that person off like a twig. She said if you approach a person with the old "one hit wonder" deal (instant change) you better be willing to share the cost. There must be follow through. If there isn't any functionality for development/companionship DO NOT bring His Name into it. She said if you can't deliver, shut your mouth or you'll be responsible for the outcome of your poor stewardship. ------So many things she taught me. Very logical. Down to earth. REAL. I wish she was still alive. She sang "Bridge" while rocking me as a baby. I remember.
That warmed my heart. My Mother was a DEVOUT follower of Jesus Christ. She taught me to reach people through the back door. And that sometimes you don't preach the Word and even mention Him when a person is REALLY in bad shape. She said He demands you focus on the priority, which is the Soul. The brokenness.
No vocal training, no real instrument training, no auto tune or ear piece, he picked out his musicians & backup singers, he never wrote songs yet arranged them, never had highly paid arrangers for his shows, He was the show, one man, one voice there to make his audience happy and provide a brief escape from their troubles. RIP!
@@HawkeClan69 Simon and Garfunkel were amazing, and gave this Elvis cover of the song their highest praise. The arrangement (by Elvis) and vocalists are hauntingly beautiful.
Yes, that is the greatest miracle of ELVIS. How can He be so alive when seen and heard on videos, He is still able to sweep us off our feet and fall under his irresistible spell. A POWERFUL SPELL that seems to live on and on, Forever.
I saw in in 1977 six months before he passed. He had gained at, but he was magnificent! I loved him as long had I can remember, even as a little girl. I was blessed to have seen him, still listen to him and love to look at him. What a man!
@@itze_ I'm a musician and I study music at the Conservatory of my town. Jacob has nothing to do with Elvis, I was curious and just tonight I've listened to the Jacob Collier studio version even the live version. Collier uses so many modern technologies that help a lot to do a show and he disguises the original song "Bridge over troubled water". There's no the same feeling, strength, emotions and shades of the Elvis version, even the choirs of Elvis are more genuine. As I was listening to the beginning of the studio version I thought that Jacob was trying to imitate Michael Jackson.
He was the greatest entertainer that ever lived ,besides the most gorgeous beautiful sexy man I have ever seen. I loved him then and I love him still today.🥰🥰😘👅💋💋👀❤️❤️❤️❤️
I agree. Fullness. Depth. Warmth. Could hit highs and lows. Probably in such good shape he could make low tones audible where others couldn't. I know opera singers personally and they both rave about his skills.
Got you beat. I am 72 and was going to his movies at age ten. I loved Elvis. I was at my mom's house when we heard on the radio that he had died. We were both so sad...
But at the same time you can see he's not forcing it, he's having fun, smiling, even if he misses a tone or anything he just goes with it.. Natural talent
@@mullaoslo Before every concert elvis would go over and over again to get it done right he band said it had to be perfect not good perfect he would rehearse for weeks and hours to get it rite he pleased fans not just a show he meant it
I LOVE the wording of your comment...except I wish you would’ve said “King Of Music!” As Elvis said “There is only one King! I am just an entertainer!” 😁
This is an outstanding performance, simply the best, but to say that Elvis "never walked through a song" is a bit of a stretch. In many of his concerts in the 1970s he would quickly "walk through" some of the original big hits from the 1950s like Hound Dog, All Shook Up, etc. because fans still wanted to hear those songs but he didn't want to spend much energy or time on them.
I know I've said it somewhere before this comment, but I must again. This is the greatest live performance ever. Period. This is a 36 year old man, gone from the music scene for a long while thanks to Uncle Sam and Colonel Parker and his dream of Elvis as a movie star. I've seen most all of them, rock and roll speaking, the Stones, Queen with Freddie, Jethro Tull, on and on. This performance puts every other one to second place at maximum. They didn't call him the King for nothing you know...thank you Elvis Presley for changing the world forever, in a great way...RIP ELVIS PRESLEY
I agree with you that "This is the greatest live performance ever" among popular music and rock and roll singers. In fact, we have an unimpeachable authority on the quality of this performance: none other than Paul Simon, the composer and original singer of this song (along with Art Garfunkel) was blown away when he saw video of this. He considered it the best version out of hundreds of covers, and said something like, "How can you compete with that?"
truly, and he only scratched the surface of what he could have been, due to that creep Colonel...I mean, no world tour? cmon, and getting hooked on pills, just horrific..
.Paul Simon said, “When I first heard Elvis perform ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’, it was unbelievable. I thought to myself, ‘How the hell can I compete with that?'”
God almighty. His voice was just beyond anything that anyone else can produce. He can be delicate, warm and then blow the back wall down. A gorgeous arrangement, too. Perfect.
That is a biblical voice. Its stirs your soul. I am not religious this man brings me to tears 42 years after his death. He will do it as long as he is heard. Bless.
There will never be another Elvis. He was everything. Beauty, voice, charisma, talent, generous heart and a stage presence and entertainer that can never be matched. He is missed.
When I get upset about life I watch Elvis sing and remember that he was such a wonderful man and I try hard to keep a good heart because that's what I loved about him the most his beautiful heart❤I still cry because I miss him so dearly
Today we think back to the day the World stood still : 16th August 1977, Elvis Presley had died. I was 18. I was devastated, I cried a lot, bought more of his records... He was loved in my Country. Even the older folks liked Elvis because he sang beautiful gospel songs. Thank you Elvis for the legacy you left behind. You will never be forgotten. ✝️🙏🎧🎶🇿🇦🌍😥❤️
Nothing comforts me more than hearing Elvis sing this song. It is exquisite. No other vocalist compares. He was a musical genius moved by God. Even Paul Simon was floored.
For you youngsters that listen to music from the 80's until now. You have just witnessed the finest entertainer to ever grace the earth. You should have noticed by now that the voice is crystal clear and you can understand the words, and the music has tune and rhythm. Enjoy while you still can.
its not a question over who was better than who or who did the greatest this or that.its just a fine performance in a soulfull way from someone who people dont really know his immense quality and the stuff he recorded such as countless blues and gospel tracks
"You have just witnessed the finest entertainer to ever grace the earth." - Woah hold your horses, that is YOUR subjective meaning. I completely disagree with this statement. "You should have noticed by now that the voice is crystal clear" - Actually this is NOT crystal clear, at least not in my ears. Too much vibrato if I might add. If there is something that's *crystal* clear it's the horns and the piano playing.
SHEER BRILLIANCE, AND TO KNOW THIS IS LIVE, NO AUTO TUNE, NO BACKING TRACK, PURE VOCAL ARTISTRY AT IT'S BEST, ELVIS FOREVER, STAY SAFE, AUSTRALIA, 🇦🇺🇺🇲💯❤️👍
“When I first heard Elvis perform ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ it was unbelievable. I thought to myself, ‘How the hell can I compete with that?'” Paul Simon
I am Chinese born and a fan from 1958 to now...close to 60 years. During this time many great entertainers have appeared. Beatles, Stones, BGees, Roy Orbison,Michael Jackson and others. I especially loved Abba. But truly I believe none can come close to Elvis. He was just special and even the other greats must agree as many of them have done publicly. There will not be another one like him and for sure not in my life time. He is America's greatest gift to the world.
Persona Email: As I stated in my initial comment, a Professor of music attributed Elvis' extraordinary vocals to where his vocal registers were placed. We know vocal register placement is determined during 9 month pregnancy. If one believes (and I do), in divinity, then God chose to give Elvis those vocals for a divine purpose and we will never know that exact, specific divine purpose.
@@martywhitevan I just watch that performance and, in fact, the boy has a wonderful voice. This song is beautiful which helps a lot...But it's a voice that pops up from time to time on these kind of talent shows. Elvis's voice is different, I can't explain. It's not being more powerful but it has more depth, different vibrato... He's unique
You're absolutely right, there's no one better than this man. I'm a classical musician and don't know about any non-classical singer who could reach even Elvis' feet.
I’m over 60 and feel it , at least in my bod - feel 30 in mind ! One of the first songs that I can remember hearing was from Elvis and I’ve been a fan ever since . Never got to see him live , wish I could’ve . I was 14 myself when Elvis came to KC - I lived 50 miles north . Dad said I was too young to try to go that there’d be another time . Unfortunately , there wasn’t . He is the GOAT !!!
...and is able to recognize that this is sung by a man who laid himself down like a bridge over troubled water for so many people that surrounded him, and people he met and who were in need. Elvis needed such a bridge but the bridges were always too short and not wide enough to ease his mind and pain for a longer period of time. So he helped himself, as well and as often as he could, by being that bridge for others.
his singing teacher in school said he couldn’t sing , he proved her wrong and became the greatest entertainer who ever lived , no one will ever come close to the king . Fr Canada 🇨🇦
Elvis had the smoothest most powerful voice of all time. He was a gift to us from God. Elvis could sing the phone book and it would sound great. If he was to sing a menu people would want to eat. Long live the music and magic of the GREATEST ENTERTAINER OF ALL TIME. We love you Elvis.
@James: Ich kann das verstehen. In meinen schlechten Zeiten gab mir Elvis sehr viel Kraft. That's exactly what Elvis wanted. Elvis greatest wish was that he wanted to make people happy.
I’m only 20 years old now, my mother has brought me up with Elvis. Not a day goes by where he hasn’t been playing throughout my childhood. I am deeply moved by him. He has to be my favourite artist in the world. Nobody will ever come close. He is such a comfort to me. I would’ve loved to see him live, in another lifetime maybe. What a truly one of a kind talent and man. Rest peacefully King.
@Rach, research Pastor Bob Joyce and let me know what you think😉 Elvis has always loved the Lord, & he wanted out of the lifestyle he was living. If you go to his church, he sings there, but please be respectful and do not ask him if he is Elvis. The Lord has made all things new for him & that's the way he wants it. God bless him.❤
@@debbieg217 I have seen these rumours before but he loved his little girl so much and would not have ever left her and allowed her to mourn for him! One thing about Elvis too is that despite how he was doing at the time he did everything for his fans, until the end and I don’t believe he would ever fake his own death to hurt so many people
@@deadpoetstodd agreed! I know people desperately want to believe he is alive but what they don't fully realise is that Elvis is still with us. Not in a physical disguise as another person but his spirit is still very much part of this world. Every time we play his music, watch his films, 'attend' his live performances we are continuing to mark his territory on this world. The biopic has brought Elvis completely into my life. Prior to that, he was on the sidelines as someone who had some good songs that I liked but now - my soul has been burst wide open! Honestly, because I have playing his music daily, watching his films and re-learning to play guitar - I feel Elvis giving me a sense of peace, contentment and motivation that I did not realise I was missing. Elvis is still with us and always will be. ❤️🎸
@@cinematicallyspeaking731 thank you so much for your comment. That was the most beautiful thing I have ever read. I am glad you’re immersing yourself in all things Elvis and realising what a true phenomenon he was and how impactful he was on so many people including myself. I am only 20 and have loved him since i was 7 because of my mothers influences. His spirit and love will be with everyone forever. You’re soo right, he’s never really ‘gone’ I’m not very religious myself but Elvis was and I’d like to believe that god wanted him back for himself. He was too special and good for this world. Thanks again for your comment ❤️⚡️ TCB x
Unbelievable range, perfect pitch, showmanship that has never really been duplicated...this is Elvis at his absolute best and I cannot think of another artist that could/can match his talent.
That is a regret of my life never having seen him in person. As great as he was on record, it is the live performance that puts him over the top as the greatest entertainer of the 20th century. It had to be unbelievable to have seen him in person and in his prime (1968-1971).
I'm going through cancer at the moment and if I don't make it I will have this song at my funeral...what a voice...I've never heard this song sung so amazing
Ο θεός να σου δώσει την ίαση. Κύριε Ιησού Χριστέ Υιέ του Θεού δια πρεσβειών της παναχράντος σου Μητρός και πάντων σου των Αγίων ελέησε και ίασε την αδελφή ψυχή
I'm sitting here listening to this song and I've heard it a hundred times, and chills are running up and down my arms along with goose bumps. This man is the greatest singer of all time.
That is so very true I am 54 years old and I have not seen or heard of no one doing WHAT ELVIS PRESLEY at all R.I.P HIS MOM & DAD AND THE REST OF THE PRESLEY FAMILY
I've heard quite of few people sang this heartfelt song and they all did good. But, the voice of Elvis Presley is much more stronger and powerful. He sang it perfectly. I can listen to Elvis all day every day!!. This man is/was AWESOME.
I've Listened to the song Bridge Over Troubled Water, performed by Elvis Presley so many Times, I can't count and I Still can't get Enough of It 👍👍 May 22 /2024
Indeed❣I always think of Elvis as a most beautiful gift from God...one man that can make so very many hearts feel goodness and love ❤. Elvis is Heaven sent..🥰🙌🏼🎤🎶♾🤎💯
His voice could go from soft velvet to the most powerful baritone in s second. It is truly incredible to listen to him sing those songs that really spoke to his soul. I'm not a believer but he brings me to tears when he sings Gospel music.
+Janice Lyons -- I agree. This version is superior to the version found on the album, "That's The Way It Is". He seems to have more control of his voice in this clip. BTW, can anyone tell me where this clip came from? Also, was this live performance ever put to vinyl? Thanks.
45 years today since you passed. You’re not at all forgotten and you’re still touching the soul of those who listen to your beautiful voice. ❤🕯 🕊 Fans will always lay themself down for you like a bridge over troubled water. RIP Elvis.
I was with my granddaughter in Memphis at Elvis Week, August 2022. 45th Anniversary year. Got to see the Elvis movie screened at The Guesthouse next to Graceland. Huge room where the cast, crew, and family were for the screening there months before. I had already seen it 3 times. RIP Elvis and Lisa.💞
UGH the last note!!! OMG!!! He was INCREDIBLE!!!!! Listen to the very last word...just one word... MIND and his voice!!! This is THE BEST version of this song EVER!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
The 3:00 part to the end is my favorite part. Gosh it's just amazing the way he sings. My mom would play his music and we watched this on VHS. It takes me back to when she was alive . Elvis was just a gift to this world that you will never see again. You just watch him sing and get drawn in.
NO ONE could ever surpass Elvis's God - given talent and voice!! They may try, but fail, There will NEVER be another Elvis Presley! I thank God to have grown up in his era!!
Legend : there will never be another singer as gifted as this guy, died young and what a tragedy but nobody can match him for the short time he was on this planet.
Yes. 100% correct. In a very very short life and career, he left behind a critically acclaimed body of work in the recording studio in multiple genres of music. An iconic artist, the likes of which may never be seen again.
I am a big bragger of British music especially our groups, but this man is my ultimate hero, he was blessed with the best voice, the best hair and was/is the greatest looking male specimen ever! All this in one man, unbelievable and i forgot his charisma! God bless you and RIP Elvis, you sure are the best ever and most missed!
@@mois9555 Isn't that the truth...and still is. No one even comes close before or after this talented, handsome, charismatic man...Still missing him at age 76!
I saw Elvis live 2 times in 1955. Then, he was more about cutting-up and rocking and rolling on the stage for the people than trying hard to demonstrate a great voice. But, as he got older, his voice got much better with deeper resonance. He was an absolutely amazing singer and on-stage performer, NOBODY CLOSE. I do not know any performer that was liked by a broad spectrum of people as Elvis was. NOBODY.
Albert you're a very lucky man. I'd kill to be have seen Elvis in those early days. My hero.. I've sat on his loo in Bad Nauhiem but not made it to the US yet...
The early Elvis was more R & B oriented but he was always a great balladeer. His voice didn’t change over the years - his material did. The rock n roll used the upper register of his voice. Later on, he sang more gospel and ballads and this used the lower end of his range more. He had an enormous range for a popular music singer, more than two full octaves. He had a truly operatic voice. With his looks and his voice, he could have been a huge opera star if he had gone in that direction. Listen to It’s Now or Never.
I REALLY CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I'VE WATCH THIS AND OTHERS.... WHAT I CAN TELL LONG AFTER THIS OLD LADY IS GONE.. THIS BEUTIFUL SOUL WILL BE SINGING TO THE WORLD.. I ALWAYS WILL LOVE YOU ..THE MAN IN THE SKY, IS A DIAMOND..🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
Paul Simon said: Elvis version was unbelievable! He said: how can I compete with that!😍
5 років тому+47
He can't..... Elvis was the most incredibly handsome man with the most incredible voice.....his legacy and life is the epoch for which the 20th century was built. He was one in a 1 trillion.....we might not see another human being bring so much to the table for another 1000 years. Incredible in every way.
HE CAN & HE DID Paul is a very humble man. and his music ALLOWS us to do these amazing covers he was VERY complimentary to disturbed version of sound of silence YES I agree that this Elvis version is AMAZING but I prefer the original by the person who wrote it , and Paul got a fat check every time Elvis performed it .
@@sixfoursoul2538 There isn't "an original by the person who wrote it" dummy...Paul wrote it Art Garfunkel sang it. So you're basically talking out your "preferred" ass
There are very few songs Elvis covered that were not better than the original the only one i can think of is Bob Dylans tomorrow is a long time. Unfortunately Dylan's version is better in my opinion. But ANY OTHER SONG Elvis EVER covered was 1000x better than the original!!! #facts!
Best performance ever, not only by Elvis but litterly de best performance i’ve ever heard and saw. The voice, the band, the background vocals everything is spot on. This man was truly the king.
You know you were great when over 49 years after your death people still listening
Still listening in 2024
Elvis died 47 years ago.
Yes record purchases are still huge 😮
Elvis is the king forever.
And he thought he would be forgotten!!! 🥲

Perfectly said sir because it could not be more true about Elvis Presley
I was on my first holiday without my folks, 16 years old. I remember so clearly..the world stood still.
Amen to that❤
My mum spent her final hours of life listening to Elvis sing, it was such a comfort to her. God Bless xx
God bless her. I will say a prayer for her💖

That’s what I have requested from my family. American trilogy or I will remember you. Anything he sings will do. I hope I see him in heaven.
Grieving for my dear Dad just now. This gives me strength
God Bless you 🌹

Sorry about ur dad❤

Oh My God...who can ever beat the sound of this man's voice???
Nobody Ever
Tom Jones!!
James Heathfield, Metallica
Freddie Mercury, maybe!
Gorgeous, it's funny the songs are just ok on paper but him singing live is a different sport
I saw him in 1973, he performed this song that evening.... as I remember that ticket cost me $20 ... possibly the best $20 I ever spent.
@Backspin: It must be a godsend if you could see Elvis live.
Possibly?
Oh yeah
I saw him in 77 in Cincinnati. The tickets were 10 , 12 and 15 dollars !
So lucky you were there!!
No autotune, no effects. Just his magic.
Yup...Autotune came out in the 90s
And 99% of artists use it or some type of back tracking. One of the few is Willie Nelson that does not use anything.
Mutch better than the original !
Wrong. Reverb is an effect, unless you think Elvis made his own reverb from his lungs.
Ja ganz genau😊😊😊
No vocal training, no real instrument training, no auto tune or ear piece, he picked out his musicians & backup singers, he never wrote songs yet arranged them, never had highly paid arrangers for his shows, He was the show, one man, one voice there to make his audience happy and provide a brief escape from their troubles. RIP!
You said it very well and true!!
I was just thinking all of that while I was watching him here because like you said not many people know how far reaching his talent really was
He had the best voice I ever heard,
Elvis and The Beatles are untouchable.
Awesome comment
There are the good singers. There are the best singers. And there is ELVIS, THE KING. Elvis will always be the best. Forever.
Hands down. He was the total package. Even other all time great singers, and actors were in awe with Elvis Presley
😂
👌👌
When i hear him sing, I feel it was Gods plan to bring him into this world, so we may all hear a voice of hope. God bless you Elvis.
BRAINWASHED
I'm 77 and listening to this. Elvis can do music like no one else. What an amazing talent, gone much too soon.
Agreed
I am 45 and I was born 3 weeks before he died...love Elvis

No lip syncing, no auto-tune; Simply, flawless!

❤ never be another like this man .
Raw, God given talent! He gives it to only a few, and He gave it to Elvis in spades!
there is no human being on this planet who is even a close second to this man
I would like to hear Freddie Mercury and George Michael take a crack at this song.❤️
@@jdenino6022Well that's obviously not going to happen, but Clay Aiken did a great job covering it on American idol.
Only Bouke is close to him, not in being famous and known all of the planet, but take a listen at "my boy" that bouke sang
The Aretha version is tops too.
You got that right and no one will ever ever be greater than Elvis Presley
Happy 90th birthday ... the greatest entertainer of all time.
He was always saying 'thank you' after every song. Its so respectful.
Common stage etiquette of the day. Nonetheless, you are right.
Plus several times he'd tell audience how great and beautiful they are
I heard, "Some water."
Wonderful human x
He was the king no theathitritcs
2023 and I still come back and listen to this…amazing version!!
Mee too..
I always feel that way when ever get to listen to his songs 😭
Me too❤😊❤
@Williams Cooper since I’ve been born…My mum is a huge Elvis fan.
Hopefully youre not back for snacks
I never get fed up of listening to the sheer perfection in his voice ...anyone lucky enough to witness this performance were truly blessed..

I LOVE the wording of your comment...except I wish you would’ve said “King Of Music!” As Elvis said “There is only one King! I am just an entertainer!” 😁
This is an outstanding performance, simply the best, but to say that Elvis "never walked through a song" is a bit of a stretch. In many of his concerts in the 1970s he would quickly "walk through" some of the original big hits from the 1950s like Hound Dog, All Shook Up, etc. because fans still wanted to hear those songs but he didn't want to spend much energy or time on them.
I know I've said it somewhere before this comment, but I must again. This is the greatest live performance ever. Period. This is a 36 year old man, gone from the music scene for a long while thanks to Uncle Sam and Colonel Parker and his dream of Elvis as a movie star. I've seen most all of them, rock and roll speaking, the Stones, Queen with Freddie, Jethro Tull, on and on. This performance puts every other one to second place at maximum. They didn't call him the King for nothing you know...thank you Elvis Presley for changing the world forever, in a great way...RIP ELVIS PRESLEY
@AgenorGracindoDeOliveira Period!! I love that quote. ❤️❤️
I agree with you that "This is the greatest live performance ever" among popular music and rock and roll singers. In fact, we have an unimpeachable authority on the quality of this performance: none other than Paul Simon, the composer and original singer of this song (along with Art Garfunkel) was blown away when he saw video of this. He considered it the best version out of hundreds of covers, and said something like, "How can you compete with that?"
truly, and he only scratched the surface of what he could have been, due to that creep Colonel...I mean, no world tour? cmon, and getting hooked on pills, just horrific..
.Paul Simon said, “When I first heard Elvis perform ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’, it was unbelievable. I thought to myself, ‘How the hell can I compete with that?'”
🙌🏼❤️🥰
Elvis could to tell the story!
Well, he I think doubted he could do it like it needed to be done from square one, that's why he let Art sing it
@@jimcharles651 I think you are spot on!ART has a one of a kind voice as well s ELVIs had!❤️
He can't
God almighty. His voice was just beyond anything that anyone else can produce. He can be delicate, warm and then blow the back wall down. A gorgeous arrangement, too. Perfect.
I agree 💙
The king forever xx
Blow the back wall down! 100% THIS
Yep
The Gezza was unreal
Blow the back of my wall down. Now that says it all my God your response made me stop and say your right..
That is a biblical voice. Its stirs your soul. I am not religious this man brings me to tears 42 years after his death. He will do it as long as he is heard. Bless.

June 8th 2024, long live the King!
Moi aussi j adore cette reprise part le King éternel ❤❤👑👑
Le King pouvait tout chanter c est ça les stars éternel merci à lui ❤❤👑👑
With you
So I do ❤
There will never be another Elvis. He was everything. Beauty, voice, charisma, talent, generous heart and a stage presence and entertainer that can never be matched. He is missed.
I don’t think they’ll be another like him
How are you Teresa??

There’s a whole lotta impersonators though. Pretty cool, like living Statues ...
I don’t care for impersonators.
@@teresamelton3532 so sad how they’re everywhere
How are you doing?
There had never been and never will be anyone like Elvis. The king forever
The one and only.
Preach it there is only one best of the very best and Elvis was it!
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Otis Blackwell?
50 years later and there still isn't a more brilliant version of this song out there. Still makes me cry every time.
❤❤❤❤ still shed a tear cause he's gone
Realmente. É a melhor interpretação. Emocionante e maravilhosa!
THE ALL TIME BEST.. DOESN'T MAKE ME SAD, I CAN RELATE.. ❤❤❤
American trilogy gets me everytime ❤
When I get upset about life I watch Elvis sing and remember that he was such a wonderful man and I try hard to keep a good heart because that's what I loved about him the most his beautiful heart❤I still cry because I miss him so dearly
Today we think back to the day the World stood still : 16th August 1977, Elvis Presley had died. I was 18. I was devastated, I cried a lot, bought more of his records... He was loved in my Country. Even the older folks liked Elvis because he sang beautiful gospel songs. Thank you Elvis for the legacy you left behind. You will never be forgotten. ✝️🙏🎧🎶🇿🇦🌍😥❤️
Why do that stupid? He was only human like you? Go and think about your life STUPID!
Nothing comforts me more than hearing Elvis sing this song. It is exquisite. No other vocalist compares. He was a musical genius moved by God. Even Paul Simon was floored.
Same
Absolutely. So comforting . Knowing he knew the Lord, I wonder maybe he is singing about the Lord comforting us in times of pain.
Same here. I always reach out for his music in moments of sadness and pain.
Well said!!
or moved by Lucifer...
For you youngsters that listen to music from the 80's until now.
You have just witnessed the finest entertainer to ever grace the earth.
You should have noticed by now that the voice is crystal clear and you can understand the words, and the music has tune and rhythm.
Enjoy while you still can.
Mercury is better.
its not a question over who was better than who or who did the greatest this or that.its just a fine performance in a soulfull way from someone who people dont really know his immense quality
and the stuff he recorded such as countless blues and gospel tracks
Luar Rangel lol hell m is right elvis is at his best here I was 9 years old when he passed and I still learn more about him every day
u; mean mercury the flaming QUEEN???? lmfao rotl u gotta be kidding
"You have just witnessed the finest entertainer to ever grace the earth." - Woah hold your horses, that is YOUR subjective meaning. I completely disagree with this statement.
"You should have noticed by now that the voice is crystal clear" - Actually this is NOT crystal clear, at least not in my ears. Too much vibrato if I might add. If there is something that's *crystal* clear it's the horns and the piano playing.
Elvis has a voice and looks that nobody will EVER HAVE....
SHEER BRILLIANCE, AND TO KNOW THIS IS LIVE, NO AUTO TUNE, NO BACKING TRACK, PURE VOCAL ARTISTRY AT IT'S BEST, ELVIS FOREVER, STAY SAFE, AUSTRALIA, 🇦🇺🇺🇲💯❤️👍
❤😢
Praise God and stay cool to all you all down under....
“When I first heard Elvis perform ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ it was unbelievable. I thought to myself, ‘How the hell can I compete with that?'” Paul Simon
Elvis does it better but PS version isnt bad.
@Clifford Cowie I love Elvis but I think Art sang this better
No body can compare to ELVIS.
@@Lynn-rf1kc Both versions are sensational but I love the purity in Art’s performance of this song, particularly the Central Park concert
@@Lynn-rf1kc still a cover of paul simon's song tho. And paul simon would be more than happy recieving the royalty payment from the King 😁😁
I am Chinese born and a fan from 1958 to now...close to 60 years. During this time many great entertainers have appeared. Beatles, Stones, BGees, Roy Orbison,Michael Jackson and others. I especially loved Abba. But truly I believe none can come close to Elvis. He was just special and even the other greats must agree as many of them have done publicly. There will not be another one like him and for sure not in my life time. He is America's greatest gift to the world.
so perfectly said!! elvis belonged not only to AMERICA but the whole WORLD!!!
Persona Email: As I stated in my initial comment, a Professor of music attributed Elvis' extraordinary vocals to where his vocal registers were placed. We know vocal register placement is determined during 9 month pregnancy. If one believes (and I do), in divinity, then God chose to give Elvis those vocals for a divine purpose and we will never know that exact, specific divine purpose.
You are absolutely right !!
MrWmy881 amen!✝️☺️
@@YoungAtHeart1941 Yes very interesting information. Thank you I believe too.
The King's performance leaves me speechless. His charisma, voice, stage presence, and energy will carry on until the end of time. God bless you Elvis.
That last note - chills!
Forever "Elvis" fan.💖
.
God given gift. We will never see another in our lifetime. Elvis, we love you.
Merci ! Vous avez raison. Un King et un vrai !
He sings so good I get cold chills.. I know he’s singing in heaven ❤
Hope he's singing when i get there ❤
yes you are right thank you fot your nise words corry from holland
Everybody get cold chills listening to Elvis sing this song
His voice is pure gold !!!!!
Well said. His voice is pure gold! 👍🇿🇦
Or pure diamond
The greatest hands down
That was a real nice room too so it sounded better than most places
Yes..!!
Still the most wonderful voice I have
heard. Such a gift.
I agree with you I love Elvis and his voice ❤❤❤
A lot of singers have great voices. Elvis' was an absolute miracle.
There has never been a singer as brilliant and wonderful as Elvis before or since. Eternal king!

@@martywhitevan I just watch that performance and, in fact, the boy has a wonderful voice. This song is beautiful which helps a lot...But it's a voice that pops up from time to time on these kind of talent shows.
Elvis's voice is different, I can't explain. It's not being more powerful but it has more depth, different vibrato... He's unique
He will be in your heart forever !!!
I'm spending my 14th bday listening to elvis. Can't think of a better artist
Happy Birthday! 🌹You have excellent taste in music! He is the best there is... Enjoy the Elvis experience. 👍 from South Africa.🇿🇦
You're absolutely right, there's no one better than this man. I'm a classical musician and don't know about any non-classical singer who could reach even Elvis' feet.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Be happy, Im just 60, but feel like a 40s. This eve I just be awake and listening Elvis all night long.
I’m over 60 and feel it , at least in my bod - feel 30 in mind ! One of the first songs that I can remember hearing was from Elvis and I’ve been a fan ever since . Never got to see him live , wish I could’ve . I was 14 myself when Elvis came to KC - I lived 50 miles north . Dad said I was too young to try to go that there’d be another time . Unfortunately , there wasn’t . He is the GOAT !!!
Whoever is listening to Elvis in 2021 has awesome taste in music!
...and is able to recognize that this is sung by a man who laid himself down like a bridge over troubled water for so many people that surrounded him, and people he met and who were in need.
Elvis needed such a bridge but the bridges were always too short and not wide enough to ease his mind and pain for a longer period of time.
So he helped himself, as well and as often as he could, by being that bridge for others.
Me, almost 50 years fan of Elvis! Still my favourite .....
It Will NEVER get any BETTER than the KING!! ❤ ❤
Elvis forever ❤️❤️❤️❤️
My nana k sat down in my lap and played this song for me a few months before her death. Will always cherish this song.
his singing teacher in school said he couldn’t sing , he proved her wrong and became the greatest entertainer who ever lived , no one will ever come close to the king . Fr Canada 🇨🇦
His teacher was probably jealous of his Voice and ability and God given Talent
Many could probably write the music but only Elvis could really tell the story! Forever the King 👑
The greatest male vocalist in recorded music history.
Nah this song was written by the one and only Paul Simon!
Both are needed, don't discredit neither songwriters or performers!
@@jimcharles651 Even he admitted, he could NEVER compare
he never wrote a song
There will never be another voice like his.
The arrangements , his interpretations.
He is the king.
Elvis had the smoothest most powerful voice of all time. He was a gift to us from God. Elvis could sing the phone book and it would sound great. If he was to sing a menu people would want to eat. Long live the music and magic of the GREATEST ENTERTAINER OF ALL TIME. We love you Elvis.
+David Hodgins Well said, Elvis was and always will be a one off, the greatest entertainer this world will ever see.
+David Hodgins A gift from God for certain!
Not from god. His parents made him.
what a wonderful compliment you gave him, one of the best I have read!! and all true!!!
+Richard Sawyer Michael Jackson as an act was better.
Ik ben 74 jaar,ik luister iedere dag, naar elvis Presley!! Zonder zijn muziek ķom ik de dag niet door!! Dank je Elvis!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Cannot begin to tell you all how many times just listening to this has saved my life 🥰
@James: Ich kann das verstehen. In meinen schlechten Zeiten gab mir Elvis sehr viel Kraft. That's exactly what Elvis wanted. Elvis greatest wish was that he wanted to make people happy.
Amazing
Me too
I’m sailing right behind
Me too
ive been listening to elvis singing this song for over 30 years and im still blown away. His emotion is incredible.
Makes you wonder how can you never get tired of listening to the same song over and over, I love this song and his performance!
It is a truly amazing performance of a classic song.
I love this version so much ❤
Elvis has a voice and soul that is timeless.
Gordon Swanson Only One King of his kind♡🦁🍀
So does God's Word!
He still does Gordon.
Best rendition of Bridge over troubled water I’ve ever heard.. unbelievable
I concur!!
Nobody is even close
I’m only 20 years old now, my mother has brought me up with Elvis. Not a day goes by where he hasn’t been playing throughout my childhood. I am deeply moved by him. He has to be my favourite artist in the world. Nobody will ever come close. He is such a comfort to me. I would’ve loved to see him live, in another lifetime maybe. What a truly one of a kind talent and man. Rest peacefully King.
You have great taste in music. Enjoy the Elvis experience. He is the best there is. ⚡
@Rach, research Pastor Bob Joyce and let me know what you think😉
Elvis has always loved the Lord, & he wanted out of the lifestyle he was living. If you go to his church, he sings there, but please be respectful and do not ask him if he is Elvis. The Lord has made all things new for him & that's the way he wants it. God bless him.❤
@@debbieg217 I have seen these rumours before but he loved his little girl so much and would not have ever left her and allowed her to mourn for him! One thing about Elvis too is that despite how he was doing at the time he did everything for his fans, until the end and I don’t believe he would ever fake his own death to hurt so many people
@@deadpoetstodd agreed! I know people desperately want to believe he is alive but what they don't fully realise is that Elvis is still with us. Not in a physical disguise as another person but his spirit is still very much part of this world. Every time we play his music, watch his films, 'attend' his live performances we are continuing to mark his territory on this world. The biopic has brought Elvis completely into my life. Prior to that, he was on the sidelines as someone who had some good songs that I liked but now - my soul has been burst wide open! Honestly, because I have playing his music daily, watching his films and re-learning to play guitar - I feel Elvis giving me a sense of peace, contentment and motivation that I did not realise I was missing. Elvis is still with us and always will be. ❤️🎸
@@cinematicallyspeaking731 thank you so much for your comment. That was the most beautiful thing I have ever read. I am glad you’re immersing yourself in all things Elvis and realising what a true phenomenon he was and how impactful he was on so many people including myself. I am only 20 and have loved him since i was 7 because of my mothers influences. His spirit and love will be with everyone forever. You’re soo right, he’s never really ‘gone’ I’m not very religious myself but Elvis was and I’d like to believe that god wanted him back for himself. He was too special and good for this world. Thanks again for your comment ❤️⚡️ TCB x
Only Elvis could make this classic song even better ,truly the best ever.
My God! They didn't comprehend they had just witnessed the most beautiful rendition of this gorgeous song.
You're absolutely right...this version is THE most beautiful rendition of a truly amazing song.
The most beautiful rendition of any song ever
I wish he had told Parker to get stuffed, left vegas and started his own Gospel show on Sunday.He would have exploded the airwaves
@@richardpluim4426 You'd be surprised :)
@@Silvana-k2y Amen to that
Still Listening to Elvis's version of Bridge Over Troubled Water, can't get enough of it ‼️
Unbelievable range, perfect pitch, showmanship that has never really been duplicated...this is Elvis at his absolute best and I cannot think of another artist that could/can match his talent.
This Is ELVIS NOT ANOTHER SOSIA
You cannot think of another artist that could/can match his talent because; there will never be one...
He had the most beautiful voice of all time. He was just a natural and no one today can even touch his range or beauty.
Can you even imagine being there , hearing this live. .....wow.
Carl Burt , terrible audience. Is this the way to react on such a performance?
Carl Burt
-
Every time I see this .. I imagine !
That is a regret of my life never having seen him in person. As great as he was on record, it is the live performance that puts him over the top as the greatest entertainer of the 20th century. It had to be unbelievable to have seen him in person and in his prime (1968-1971).
47 years ago today we lost this incredible talent, a shining star! ❤
I'm going through cancer at the moment and if I don't make it I will have this song at my funeral...what a voice...I've never heard this song sung so amazing
I wish you well.
God Bless you. I too have cancer so be positive and stay stong.

Sorry for the trials you're going through, and may you win! Just played Elvis's "Green Green Grass of Home" at my Mom's funeral; it was Awesome!
I'm sitting here listening to this song and I've heard it a hundred times, and chills are running up and down my arms along with goose bumps. This man is the greatest singer of all time.
No other entertainer has ever sang the song more beautifully than Elvis good job rest in peace
Agree. It's absolutely beautifully sung. From South Africa 👍👏🇿🇦
Elvis ...all the way through the years !!!
the original is way better
I have to say the Garfunkel version is haunting and deeply meaningful
Sorry but Art n Garfunkel deffo did
Whoever is listening to elvis in 2024 has amazing taste in music
Me I have been listening to Elvis since the 60,s
I'm 16 and Elvis is my favorite. It's sad what music has become. There will never be another Elvis.

Amen
That is so very true I am 54 years old and I have not seen or heard of no one doing WHAT ELVIS PRESLEY at all R.I.P HIS MOM & DAD AND THE REST OF THE PRESLEY FAMILY
Elvis just takes a song and makes it his own. What a tremendous talent.

His voice could go from soft velvet to the most powerful baritone in s second. It is truly incredible to listen to him sing those songs that really spoke to his soul.
I'm not a believer but he brings me to tears when he sings Gospel music.
This is not gospel music
Elvis loved singing Gospel. JD Summer and the Stamps sang with him often.

oh,yes!
+Janice Lyons -- I agree. This version is superior to the version found on the album, "That's The Way It Is". He seems to have more control of his voice in this clip. BTW, can anyone tell me where this clip came from? Also, was this live performance ever put to vinyl? Thanks.

Elvis was truly amazing in every way!
The 3:00 part to the end is my favorite part. Gosh it's just amazing the way he sings. My mom would play his music and we watched this on VHS. It takes me back to when she was alive . Elvis was just a gift to this world that you will never see again. You just watch him sing and get drawn in.
There is no one beter then Elvis, and never wil be, what a voice
NO ONE could ever surpass Elvis's God - given talent and voice!! They may try, but fail, There will NEVER be another Elvis Presley! I thank God to have grown up in his era!!
Legend : there will never be another singer as gifted as this guy, died young and what a tragedy but nobody can match him for the short time he was on this planet.
I watch him I grew up w him my kids my grandkids such a beautiful voice takes u there to that place
Yes. 100% correct.
In a very very short life and career, he left behind a critically acclaimed body of work in the recording studio in multiple genres of music. An iconic artist, the likes of which may never be seen again.

Eyal Sonego the bossss?? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 not even the same level
I saw Elvis live 2 times in 1955. Then, he was more about cutting-up and rocking and rolling on the stage for the people than trying hard to demonstrate a great voice. But, as he got older, his voice got much better with deeper resonance. He was an absolutely amazing singer and on-stage performer, NOBODY CLOSE. I do not know any performer that was liked by a broad spectrum of people as Elvis was. NOBODY.
Albert you're a very lucky man. I'd kill to be have seen Elvis in those early days. My hero.. I've sat on his loo in Bad Nauhiem but not made it to the US yet...
How lucky you are to see him at least once!
Amen. Elvis would haved loved that....
The early Elvis was more R & B oriented but he was always a great balladeer. His voice didn’t change over the years - his material did. The rock n roll used the upper register of his voice. Later on, he sang more gospel and ballads and this used the lower end of his range more. He had an enormous range for a popular music singer, more than two full octaves. He had a truly operatic voice. With his looks and his voice, he could have been a huge opera star if he had gone in that direction. Listen to It’s Now or Never.
Freddie.
I REALLY CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I'VE WATCH THIS AND OTHERS.... WHAT I CAN TELL LONG AFTER THIS OLD LADY IS GONE.. THIS BEUTIFUL SOUL WILL BE SINGING TO THE WORLD.. I ALWAYS WILL LOVE YOU ..THE MAN IN THE SKY, IS A DIAMOND..🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
Time does nothing to the music of Elvis. I will still listen when I’m 80 years old, and I’m 20 now😂
I'm 14🤣
I have been listening since I was about 6. Still here 60 years later.
One of the best commiittes ever
I'm 76...was 11 when Elvis started out....I've never stopped listening to him....I especially like his gospel but no matter what he sings I'm there
I am 20 as well, and I agree his music is timeless.
Even in the end his voice never failed to amaze me. Truly the greatest voice and entertainer ever.
Paul Simon said: Elvis version was unbelievable! He said: how can I compete with that!😍
He can't.....
Elvis was the most incredibly handsome man with the most incredible voice.....his legacy and life is the epoch for which the 20th century was built. He was one in a 1 trillion.....we might not see another human being bring so much to the table for another 1000 years. Incredible in every way.
Personal Email he is my sunahine he can presidently be anything Rock on Dad
HE CAN & HE DID
Paul is a very humble man. and his music ALLOWS us to do these amazing covers he was VERY complimentary to disturbed version of sound of silence
YES I agree that this Elvis version is AMAZING but I prefer the original by the person who wrote it , and Paul got a fat check every time Elvis performed it .
@@sixfoursoul2538 There isn't "an original by the person who wrote it" dummy...Paul wrote it Art Garfunkel sang it. So you're basically talking out your "preferred" ass
There are very few songs Elvis covered that were not better than the original the only one i can think of is Bob Dylans tomorrow is a long time. Unfortunately Dylan's version is better in my opinion. But ANY OTHER SONG Elvis EVER covered was 1000x better than the original!!! #facts!
Best performance ever, not only by Elvis but litterly de best performance i’ve ever heard and saw. The voice, the band, the background vocals everything is spot on. This man was truly the king.
