Elvis is the only guy who can still get girls 45 years after his death. My Mom, myself, and my niece all love him and a favorite pastime for our family was watching 3 generations argue about who loved him the most. I still maintain that I love him the most.
gurrll i was born 34 years after his death and have a MASSIVE crush on him. im still trying to convince all of my 5 sisters how amazing and gorgeous this mann iss.
Your Elvis reactions is why I subscribed! I found others I like. But yes Elvis is what got me here. This here is 1970.. he is well polished & hit his prime here after the 50s. I was only 8 in 1970. But even that young I wanted him to be mine!
No one sings like Elvis and no one ever will; therefore, just listen to that one in 8 billion voice...The King never followed trends, he started trends; no singer could ever change (progress) with the times, except for Elvis. Elvis' music performed/sang 50 or 60 years ago still sounds like it was done yesterday👍👏
One thing I have always heard No matter how gorgeous, beautiful, etc. a person is, somewhere someone is sick of their crap. Obviously, that doesn’t apply to Elvis… and I could not imagine how the world would be if there had been two of these men walking earth at the same time
Elvises looks along with that voice count me passed out. They say he never had a picture nor movie that begin to show how good looking he looked in person. Can u imagine?
Something I think you'll appreciate too is that every single thing you see there on that stage, Elvis created. He had no stage manager, no orchestra leader, no chorus leader. He put every piece together from the music to the background vocals. And as for the rest, his amazing voice, his physical beauty, I love how you love him. I feel the same, Lol. Cant get enough of this man... dayum!
I am so glad to read your comment. Not everyone realizes that Elvis did it all. Put together and orchestrated every song and performance. No body does that. He did!!
When Elvis played the Asterdome, they told him that they didn't want his black singers. Elvis stood up for them and said they would be with him or he would not come.
I love the way you see and feel everything about him. From a 60 year old British lady watching a young lovely lady like you feeling everything I felt fifty years ago. Love you.
I was probably there with you as I saw Elvis everyone he came to Houston except the 1st time bc I wasn't born yet..I will always b grateful to my mom, dad and grandma for taking me with them every time & not leaving me at home with a babysitter.. so 57 years later I'm still obsessed with him. Now my kids listen to him👑🎸🎙🎵🎶😘❣
This was so insanely good. I hear the Righteous Brother sing this. I FEEL ELVIS singing this .. sounds and feels so powerful in his hands!!! No comparison Elvis all the way.. every word tells the story
Elvis had a vulnerability in his voice, it's appealing, especially to the ladies, the king was extreme quality, incredible vocal range, damn beautiful looking with a profile to die for lol, and the consummate entertainer.
@@marttihamalainen3724 I used to go to "all night" gospel shows.with my grandmother. I have seen the Imperials but not with Elvis. The first time I saw Elvis was 1976. JD Sumner and the Stamps Quartet were performing with Elvis then.
@@billwalker7556 The female backup singers were the Sweet Inspirations....Whitney Houston's mom Cissy Houston was in the Sweet Inspirations and sang backup to Elvis.
His voice was and is iconic. He was pushed way too hard, and instead of the doctor getting him fixed, he just threw pills at him. He went far too early. The king still lives on.
A couple of books published in recent years, by Sally Hoedel and Forest Tennant, MD, shed light on Elvis’s complicated medical issues. The man had a multi-system disorder that left him in tremendous pain. Bad heart, eyes, colon, teeth, chronic insomnia, and other conditions that worsened his overall health after a 1967 traumatic brain injury (TBI). Unfortunately, no one was able to put it all together because medical knowledge and technology didn’t exist to diagnose what he suffered from. Any drugs he abused were to take away his pain and help him perform. Tennant was the defense’s expert witness at Dr. Nick’s trial (he was acquitted) and had access to Elvis’s full medical records. He said Elvis’ multi-system disorder baffled a team of doctors whom Dr. Nick consulted and that Elvis’s heart would have eventually failed him, even if he had not taken the codeine his dentist had given him hours prior to his death.
He grew up in a VERY POOR part of Mississippi, he was around blacks and had black friends, black music had an influence on him, BUT HE made his music his way, it's like the wind in a sail the wind will fill the sail but YOU control where you go, The ONE AND ONLY KING ELVIS.
We love watching you react to Elvis videos because it’s wonderful to see a new generation appreciate and swoon over him the way we did and do through these clips. Your reactions are so fun to watch!
You are so expressive and very articulate with your words. I love that about you and I love the love you have for Elvis. And I’m glad that you now know and love this man as so many millions have for years. He definitely touched more lives than he could have ever imagined in his lifetime.
Thank you for this tremendous reaction and very insightful commentary to another great Elvis performance which features all the hallmarks of why he remains an icon even to this day. Elvis has this uncanny ability to sing with sensitivity and passion and do so with a graceful masculinity. And yes - shout out (again) to the band and the backup singers.
Britt, Your Elvis reactions are so full of insight, passion, and love. It's a joy to watch you light up over this amazing talent. Keep taking care of Business TCB⚡♥️
This is SPECTACULAR! I would love for you to react to "Something Blue"! He was very young and so wonderful! I think you would really like it. I love your excitement! You make me so happy, just watching you, watching him! Great reaction!
I'll Remember You, from this concert, you'll love, it's got to be the satellite performance, there's a smile you'll die for. What a man what a voice. Always be the greatest of all time ❤
We watch because WE GET IT! Welcome to the Elvis Family. We all have our own story of how we "fell in love" with Elvis. I grew up with him. I was born in 1960. My Auntie was 14 and IN LOVE with Elvis. My Daddy ,who passed when I was 9,was a fan too. He and I used to dance to Daddy's Elvis records. Elvis was the background to many special times in my life. I personally love watching you and other reactors take the journey and fall in love. We pass the torch to your generation to keep his music alive in your children. I just found you yesterday. Love your positive vibe.❤️
One of my favorite songs that he did , his band and the backup singers were the best. Elvis had a great relationship with his band but he was particularly close to his girls . They loved Elvis and he loved them too.Theres interviews of alot of his band members and the sweet inspirations talking about Elvis after he passed away.
The Sweet Inspirations were his back up singers. They sang beautifully and complemented Elvis beautifully. I love your reactions!! I will be watching more of your reactions.
Love Elvis ! My Mom loved Elvis, She was a young girl in the 50s when Elvis came on the scene, so we had Elvis record’s around and mom would play them while she was cleaning house or cooking or raising me and siblings, there were 5 … Around 1976 Mom got to go to see Elvis in concert at Mobile Alabama! I was 10 so me and my brothers had to stay at the park while Mom and my oldest sister went to the concert, she was in high school… then not too long after that while on our way to Jackson Mississippi to go roller skating all of us kids in the back of a ford station wagon with Momma driving ,Elvis came on the radio , Mom was so excited, then after the song they announced that The King was Gone! Elvis had died😢😢 mom had to pull over because she was so overwhelmed!! Elvis had that kind of impact on millions!!! RIP EAP
Can you imagine the amount of energy he had to expend during one show and then to do two shows a day 7 days a week for 5 weeks! Sometimes he did 3 shows. Insane amount of grit and strength. Love that perfectly beautiful talented man. ❤
It’s Now or Never was his biggest hit, I think about 20 million. Till Mark James wrote a song called Suspicious Minds, which Mark recorded and only sold 5,000 copies. He said let’s give it to Elvis to record. Sold 40 million, his biggest selling record of his career!
I can remember when Elvis was going to make a movie at the Seattle world fair, and stayed in my home town of kalama Washington, he made the mistake of using his Chevron gas credit card,that was all it took the motel parking was so full of fanes, the next morning when the maid went to clean the room she found out that they had a pizza fight ,it was all over the walls,what a mess,haha
Have just joined your page😊 firstly I want to say you're a beautiful looking girl, I'm a 73yrs old grandmother from Ireland, I've loved Elvis since I was 14yrs old, not a day goes by that I don't play my Elvis music, love your comments and your admiration of him ❤ he's the GOAT 🥰🇮🇪🇮🇪
When Elvis sings a song he makes it his own. And the endearing quality he possesses is the way every woman listening thinks he is sing right to them. He truly fabulous example of that is "The Wonder of You". Vegas 1970. I enjoy your reactions. Thanks and Be Blessed.
What you are hearing is a SOUTHERN sound! Many, many great black singers, like ELVIS, came from the South! This is a Southern Blues sound!!! We hear it constantly, from small town bars to our GOSPEL! He invoked such a wide variety of genres! He was so very Soulfull! I love this song! What a great entertainer ELVIS was! ❤ ❤ ❤
You are AMAZING. This is about early 70s past Motown prime sound. ELvis would want you as a Sweet Inspiration backup singer Elvis ALWAYS was influenced by Gospel music because he grew up around it and was his mother's favorite music 🎶 That's what you're actually hearing.
Right, Elvis opened the doors up, taught them how to dress and wear bling bling! James Brown said he loves Elvis. He my brother from another mother! Lol
Elvis just loved music. The great ones don't see "genre" they just say it's music. If they heard something they liked, they didn't label it anything but good music.
It really does feel like the beginning of Motown here. It is absolutely no surprise that Motown happens after Elvis has opened up the music business, in spite of all those corporate henchmen that were responsible for keeping talent of color out of the business. The act of Elvis working with black musicians and crediting and paying black songwriters in the way that he did opened up the business so that we could have a Motown, and so that we could have a Jackson 5 and finally Michael Jackson. Music today would look and sound completely, and totally different without the life of Elvis Presley.
Certainly Elvis was influential and important in music - however Motown started in 1959 and its most popular hits were in the early 60s. Motown's roots started long before that, and Motown was going to happen with or without Elvis. Elvis was influenced by Motown and its roots. He didn't even sing this song until 1970. Elvis can be credited with helping to mainstream some of that style in the early 60s though.
@@glass2467 On the "timeline", Elvis hit the national scene in 1956, before Motown. If Motown would have happened without Elvis is a debate that is pointless in having, but many black artists like James Brown have said that they owe a lot to Elvis and that he opened the door for them. There is a lot that might not have happened without Elvis including Motown, The Beatles, etc. But you could debate it all day without a real answer because we don't have a time machine to go back and change history. We are all going to believe what we are going to believe.
@@glass2467 sure the Motown record label started in 1958 to be technical. But the Motown sound that most people allude to is from the very late 60s and throughout the early to mid 70s.
@@dancalabrese3523 The roots of Motown go way back, and Elvis borrowed from that too, of course. Yes Elvis was influential. But Elvis did not create Motown. It's not even a debate. The facts are that American black music, blues, etc., which really had roots from hundreds of years before,... this influenced all other music, both here and in Europe. I'm not denying Elvis' greatness or his influence. Just saying there were many things in music which contributed to the pot.
Lovely reaction videos to the music of this incredible and iconic performer! No doubt Elvis would be humbled by the kind words of this lovely reviewer! By the way, Bill Belew was his costume designer. Dionne Warwick tells a sweet story about what Elvis did for her. Cheers!
Wow, ... that was an amazing, amazing interpretation of this song by Elvis, in his own style ! And music and performance presentation too, great as usual!
Britt, Elvis' suits were made by a famous tailor named Nudie Cohn. He made suits for the country strs in Nashville... Google "Nudie Suits" also the black leather concert was the first Production EVER to be sent internationally by satellite. Not just the first Elvis Show. It was the first time in history that anything was seen internationally via satellite.
What you hear is pure voice, no auto tune, no sound effects just pure voice
Oh Britt, Once your hooked on Elvis, it 's forever ....
Kudos to the backing singers, amazing.
Hey girl I am there with you, I always melt when I see and hear Elvis you can't help it, he knows how to bring out all ones inner emotionas❤❤
Elvis took an already iconic song of the righteous Brothers and made it his own. And he killed it.❤❤❤❤❤ The GOAT
He did that with George Harrison's Something and Marty Robbins you gave a Mountain
Elvis is the only guy who can still get girls 45 years after his death. My Mom, myself, and my niece all love him and a favorite pastime for our family was watching 3 generations argue about who loved him the most. I still maintain that I love him the most.
Lmao
As you guys should be doing.
gurrll i was born 34 years after his death and have a MASSIVE crush on him. im still trying to convince all of my 5 sisters how amazing and gorgeous this mann iss.
Elvis 😍 What society deems attractive changes over time but this man will Always be the total package regardless the era.
He did it his way.
Gift from heaven ❤
Who could ever lose that loving feeling for Elvis???? NOT ME
"I sing all kinds, I dont sound like nobody" - Elvis Presley 1953
One of my favorite performance by elvis not to take anything away from the original performance ! Love this !❤
The GOAT! HANDS DOWN! I love when you said, 'the way those women sound, is how my heart feels...' WOW! Perfectly said!!!!!!!!!!!
So wish you could have seen him in person ... he was everything you see and more ! TCB forever !
There was no Motown before Elvis. He opened many doors for everyone else.

Did you hear his improv regarding “the suit is too tight”? Funny. The Righteous Brothers version is also amazing, but Elvis makes you feel it.
I knew this part was coming and I was waiting for her to react to it and I was so sad she missed it!!
@@amieferrell2285 i THOUGHT she missed it, then i thought maybe i was wrong
Elvis made every song better imo
Oh my goodness...my favourite song...he's perfect 🥰

The world should never forget this guy❤
Elvis grew up in a ghetto area in Tupelo Miss. He hung with black kids &:listened to the music. He even dang in a choir in a black church.

Elvis and his amazing power and gift for the world the king himself was born with the whole perfict package talent.ELVIS HAD NO TRAINING BUT HIMSELF.
Your reactions are what we want. Someone who appreciates our boy and loves him just the way we do. Enjoy your journey discovering Elvis
I've loved Elvis for 66 years and counting! So lucky to have been alive from the beginning of his career ❤ There'll never be another like him!❤❤
I love the way you see and feel everything about him. From a 60 year old British lady watching a young lovely lady like you feeling everything I felt fifty years ago. Love you.
Great reaction. Plus, I love those "Sweet Inspirations" harmonies.
I saw Elvis in the Astrodome when I was nine. It’s hard to describe how important he was to people. I was in shock the entire concert.
How lucky you are !
Lucky you. I was living near Amarillo, didn't get to go. But did see Elvis in person twice in Amarillo
I was probably there with you as I saw Elvis everyone he came to Houston except the 1st time bc I wasn't born yet..I will always b grateful to my mom, dad and grandma for taking me with them every time & not leaving me at home with a babysitter.. so 57 years later I'm still obsessed with him. Now my kids listen to him👑🎸🎙🎵🎶😘❣
And I Love You So, So Close Yet So Far Away beautiful songs by Elvis. He could sing anything.
This was so insanely good. I hear the Righteous Brother sing this.
I FEEL ELVIS singing this .. sounds and feels so powerful in his hands!!! No comparison Elvis all the way.. every word tells the story
ua-cam.com/video/qBFme6e435o/v-deo.html
They did, and they sound great
When Elvis song this the Riotous brothers started planning their retirment.
So well put.
It’s because of his amazing voice that he can own a song like this.
Elvis had a vulnerability in his voice, it's appealing, especially to the ladies, the king was extreme quality, incredible vocal range, damn beautiful looking with a profile to die for lol, and the consummate entertainer.
Elvis is the best singer that ever lived ❤❤❤😘😘😘
Good morning and greetings from Germany 🇩🇪. Elvis is the best .
I hope now Everyone sees the king of Rock and roll is and all music.Elvis cant be touched and no comparison to him.

NoNe of us would "lose that lovin feeling". We still love you, Elvis.
Elvis loved the BIG DRAMATIC ENDINGS... and we love that he did 😉
That soul train name Elvis Presley. That special pure passion. what a beautiful divine voice!

Can you imagine the amount of energy he had to expend during one show and then to do two shows a day 7 days a week for 5 weeks! Sometimes he did 3 shows. Insane amount of grit and strength. Love that perfectly beautiful talented man. ❤

1970 Suspicious Minds, Just Pretend and Love Me Tender are all great live performances. I think you'd love them.
“What Now My Love” performed at Aloha from Hawaii concert is another song about how much a man loves and wants his woman back.
what a fantastic performance from Elvis
Re, Motown. Elvis had great Soul.
In the interview for the Las Vegas shows in 1969, he said that his backing vocals helped him get to his soul! ❤️

I love reactions. I am 55, and you are very intuitive about the music of my era.
Great reaction! Cant go wrong with Elvis...Check out some early stuff from him. You'll love it!
Wow, ... that was an amazing, amazing interpretation of this song by Elvis, in his own style ! And music and performance presentation too, great as usual!
Britt, Elvis' suits were made by a famous tailor named Nudie Cohn. He made suits for the country strs in Nashville... Google "Nudie Suits" also the black leather concert was the first Production EVER to be sent internationally by satellite. Not just the first Elvis Show. It was the first time in history that anything was seen internationally via satellite.
OMG. I love this one. I have sung this version probably over 100 times at our shows. He had a way to interpret a song like no one.
Such a voice and stage presence. Love the chemistry with Elvis and his back up singers and band. Great reaction and share.
