I met Elvis at a gas station in Toledo, Ohio when my twin sister & I were 4-years old! My dad got out of the car to talk to a guy in the next lane. Next thing you know, Elvis pops his head in our car, introduces himself, shakes our hands and tells us he's a twin too (he died at birth). That was 1956 and I still remember being "all shook up" and knew who he was being it was his first year of being famous. Impressive man indeed.
Thanks for sharing!
Wow, what a memory
Wow, what a great memory!
I met Elvis too, he was a Japanese dude in Vegas....but seriously.
What a lucky fellow you are! My father was born month after Elvis passed away. I can only dream to met him, hopefully in the life after this.
To put it in some context, the early 1950's had the likes of Perry Como, Frank Sinatra, and the like...then THIS happened!!! It was world changing...
The Legend landed dude, that was what the changed.
First Little Richard,then Elvis 👏✌️
My people had after hours joints like the Doo Drop Inn, that was in my folks time,we were doing Elvis before there was an Elvis, God bless him, at least he told the truth about his love for as the called it race music, Google who wrote Don't be Cruel and Elvis hits in the late 50 s and mid 60 s a black song writing team name Otis Armstrong and his partner, last name Scott
Yes. Great satanic brutal death metal song. His growls are very gutural.
The great Elvis. The King of Rock and Roll. Elvis started playing rockabilly music. Then later his music style changed dramatically. Jailhouse Rock made him famous for singing and acting. There have so many Elvis movie bios. Just recently a new movie bio came out in theaters called ELVIS this passed August 2022.
He was legendary, and he could sing in every genre of music. As huge as he was, he could have been even bigger if Colonel Tom Parker, his manager, hadn’t taken so much from him, including letting him become a serious actor, which he wanted to do, and actually showed signs of having the potential for. His acting in “Love Me Tender”, “Jailhouse Rock”, and “King Creole” (films made earlier in his career) showed real ability. Col. Tom refused to let him make movies he wouldn’t be top star in. He did make some entertaining musical movies through the 60’s, but he really hated doing them eventually.
Yeah, I read, one time, that they wanted Elvis for "A Star is Born" (starring opposite Barbra Streisand, instead of Chris Christofferson), but because Col. Parker wanted top billing for Elvis, and they wouldn't give it to him, the colonel wouldn't let him do it!
Also, Colonel Parker demanded a certain percentage of publishing rights (or something like that) to every song Elvis sang. Elvis wanted, very badly, to sing Dolly Parton's song "I Will Always Love You", but she refused to give up the publishing rights (and rightly so, IMO), so Elvis didn't get to record it.
It was rumored that Elvis never got to tour Europe because Colonel Parker wasn't a U.S. citizen (if he left, he couldn't get back in)....
Colonel Parker has sounded, many times, to me, like a schmuckwad!!!
Yeah and they even try to say Elvis was a racist when it was nobody but the Colonel.. Elvis wasn't racist at all. Like you said the Colonel took so much from Elvis.. As a Black man I always believed that.. There was nobody "Cooler" than Elvis.. Black or White.. (Why thank you very much) LOl!! He used to crack me up when he said that. The Coolest man ever!!!
I also learned after the ELVIS movie that Parker had been in a military jail and was diagnosed as a psychopath. He sucked the life out of Elvis until he died and then still tried to do it off his estate until he was finally exposed for his financial abuse of ELVIS.
@@sherryl3557 He was a psychopath i hated him and i told him many times. Elvis was my friend for 10 yrs. up until his death. Parker was a leech he didn't care about Elvis it was all about the money. I will never watch that movie ever. Regards from Memphis Tn.
I was almost 9 when he died. My family was at a remote church camp in Georgia and somehow the news got to us there. My dad was devastated, it’s about the only time I ever saw him cry.
A good 'Female Friday' song would be "Black Velvet" by Alannah Myles. The song is Elvis' life story.
Always liked her powerful singing ! Only recently found out it had nothing to do with whiskey :)
Yes I love that song. Black Velvet.
Wow, I listen to this song while cycling and thought, what a good idea for female friday! What I didn't know was that it was about Elvis - how interesting and thanks for the info!
Robin Lee had an excellent version of the song as well.
Good one!
He was such a beauty in his young years. No one was cooler than Elvis…He passed on August 16, 1977. Still way too young to lose him.,
Lots of us remember where we were that day, when we heard.
I will never forget I graduated High School that year.
I was 8 years old, so I wasn't really phased by it. It wasn't until I was older that I really understood the significance. But what I do remember at the time it happened was that my older female cousin was inconsolable. That has stuck with me all this time.
Billy Gibbons will give him a run for his money on straight up coolness!!!!!
But did he really!?!?!?
You guys are so respectful of Elvis’s early music and his phenomenal talent and moves. Your video is first class.Thank you so much for this! Subscribed!
As far as I know, he was a truck driver, and in 1954, went to a studio to record songs for his mother for her birthday. He happened to record them at Sun Records in Memphis. He became a sensation after his first appearance on the Ed Sullivan show in 1956. And as they say, the rest is history... As Ed would say, that was a really big 'shoo'.
“Elvis the Pelvis”! They would not show him from the waist down because his movements were considered obscene for television!! A suggestion for Female Friday: kdlang. She’s amazing! 😂😂
I second kd!
You stole my thunder. Lol 😆
True story
Fun fact: in Germany, the young Elvis was called "Elvis, der Preßlufthammer" -> "Elvis, the jackhammer" or "Preßlufthammer-Elvis" -> "Jackhammer-Elvis", due to obvious dance moves.
YES! Please react to kd lang! "Crying" is a great song to start with.
My Grandpa met Elvis at a small “club” before he took off. He sat and visited with my Grandpa between his sets. My Grandpa said Elvis was kind and was pleasantly surprised that people were staying to hear him sing, Very appreciative for the audience.
That's a great story Amy. I've heard others say he was a very humble and kind person. When my mother was a teen or just out of high school, she said Elvis hung out with her group of friends. He wasn't a close friend, but one of the acquaintances that ran around with her friends. He spent some time in Texas, I think it was around 1955.
My Grandma met him when he was shooting Blue Hawaii. He was staying at the Coco Plams Resort on Kauai where my Grandma worked as a maid. She said he was so sweet and humble and would talk story with them and asking how they were doing. He treated everyone regardless of their station with so much kindness.
The same Rlvis later on went to. Richard, Tricky Dicky, Nixon to set up John Lennon be expelled from the country because he was jealous of the Beatles !Drug addict and not so nice s guy!
@@joelliebler5690 You are a liar.They were jealous of him.When they visited him at his Califirnia home, all they could do was stare at him with gaping mouths and popped out eyes. Have you ever looked at the Beatles..3 are ugly and the other has big ears.Elvis is known to be the most beautiful man to ever live.Elivis only took prescription drugs..all legal and for many illnesses.The Beatles took illegal drugs such as LSD..Paul McCartney is an admitted alcoholic.John Lenon and Yoko held orgy infront of news media. They were arrognant and classless.They respected nothing and no one.Elvis was all class, humble and took politeness to a different level.He was a Christian.They said they were more popular than Jesus.Elvis did not like being called king..very humble man.Elvis did not request the Beatles be expelled but for their dope smoking influence, they should have been. The Nixon visit..he wrangled a CI A badge from Nixon.He was so charismatic that even presidents could not say no to him.He was so popular and i fluential that Nixon saw Elvis within an hour of Elvis' request to see him.How many artists could do that? None.President Carter also was a huge fan and friend. The Beatles were the number one hero of the drop out generation, the flower children of the Sixties, the Hippies.John was so mangey looking..he never bathed and had horrible body odor. You know nothing about Elvis.Paul visited Graceland and was amaxed by all the gold records and awards Elvis had, sating they did not have close to that many. You would be good bait for Adolph Hitler who fed his public propaganda.You have accepted lies without knowing the real facts because you prefer to believe lies.I have a great deal on land in Sibera , selling dirt cheap.You are that kind of propaganda sucker, easy prey. If you were more intelligent and better read, you would know the truth. Being dumb is easier, less work. You are jealous of Elvis..no other reason for your lies..jealousy is a very ugly quality to have. And you are probably ugly to look at too.
@@joelliebler5690 That story is Easily debunked on the internet & I see someone above ( Thank You Margaret for defending Elvis!) already has.
It was Senator Strom Thurmond that wrote a memo to the FBI, that because of his activist activities & a drug conviction, that John Lennon should be deported.
He broke out in 1954 with a song “That’s All Right “ that he recorded at Sun Records owned by Sam Phillips who also found Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis and Roy Orbison,Carl Perkins! Along with legends like B.B.King and Howlin Wolf recording their also! Elvis then signed with RCA in 55 and the rest is history!!!
I heard that Elvis came up with his own choreography in Jailhouse Rock ❤️😍❤️😍👍🇬🇧
Jay! Jay! Jay! Jay! Jay! Jay!
My “friend”. I can’t let you say that
No one should leave this world without having seen Forest Gump. This movie is a gift to mankind, really
Can you say Forest Gump reaction video?!
Glad John Travolta turned down the role .... Bet he's not glad ...
Forrest Gump And Elvis should not be mentioned in the same breath, that movie is a cluster&uck and total misexploitation of history.
@My Signin I'm with you. It's a movie I love to hate. Awful for too many reasons.
Except Tom Hanks is great as that imbecile who falls bassackwards into good fortune.
@@clevellbarney8917 You've been such a witch since that house fell on your sister ... Did you wake up on the wrong side of no one?
More early, upbeat, fun dance Elvis songs would be "Hound Dog," "Don't be Cruel," and "All Shook Up," among MANY others
Yes!!!
Don't forget "Return to Sender" love this one 🤗🤗🤗
Amber gets what we all see in Elvis. He was beautiful!!
“One Night” a good Elvis. “Heartbreak Hotel” was his first really big hit.
I keep suggesting this as it shows why he is King of Rock and Roll, period, full stop, no better Rock song on earth or singer.
Elvis was simply the biggest star the world has ever known. He died in 1977
There is many of reasons to explain it, but as I always tell people, he's the king, and to this day it's a well defended crown
My favorite Elvis song is "Suspicious Minds", great song
When you hear his music you know he's the KING .he is truly missed by all of us true fans.❤
He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, The Country and Western Hall of Fame, Gospel Hall of Fame, and a few more. He sang just about everything.
He actually co- choreographed this number and shows off young Elvis at his best
It was 1953 when he recorded his first record "That's Alright Mama" at "Sun Studios" in Memphis Tennessee. And the sound of Rock & Roll music changed forever...
54. July.
@@kemperboyd16 That's what I've always heard too but idk if it was recorded in 53 as stated. Released in 54
I remember seeing him on the Louisiana Hayride in 1954, when he first started out. He was allowed his moves. I was a young kid with teenage siblings. Thankfully, both of our parents loved Elvis, so his music was welcomed in our house, unlike many other families at the time. You said he changed the sound of R&R. True, and he definitely made it a visual experience.
His first record was My Happiness in 1953.
Such an awesome tune.
"Daddy Please Don't Cry" by Elvis.... heartbreaking. And "Fools Rush In" by Elvis... beautiful.
Elvis would be even more massive if he launched his career today … the guy was a showman in every sense.
Can’t find anyone nowadays that comes close
The KING!
More to try from him:
Love Me Tender, Hound Dog, Don't Be Cruel, Heartbreak Hotel, Blue Suede Shoes, All Shook Up
Elvis died in 1977 at age 42.
Really good suggestions. Agree 100%.
All Shook Up should be Jordan's theme song!
@@KittykatOz lol. Let's get them to listen to the song, then ask him what he thinks of your suggestion
He could serenade with a ballad, belt out a country tune, mesmerize with a gospel song, the man had it all and he shared it with the world with his passion and enthusiasm
So so true....
No truer word has been spoken.
Some of his best songs for gospel songs
@@janecarbone1504 He won more grammys for his gospel songs than rock songs. I found that remarkable.
He died in 1977
Watching your reaction to his music is proof of the amount of joy he brought (and still does) to so many. There is a lot of emphasis on how women and young girls reacted to him but he affected many people on a deeper level. His music and moves just make me happy. I just feel joy when listening to him.
Elvis' first commercial single, THAT'S ALL RIGHT, was successful mostly in the South in 1954. RCA Records signed him shortly thereafter. In January 1956 Presley released HEARTBREAK HOTEL which became a worldwide hit, reaching number one in four countries.
You can’t go wrong with any of his songs. He also sang beautiful hymns. SUSPICIOUS MINDS, HOUND DOG, CANT HELP FALLING IN LOVE, BLUE SUEDE SHOES, ITS NOW OR NEVER, DONT BE CRUEL, etc.
I think my favorite Elvis song is "Burning Love"!
@@jtkool1503 Mine too! I love that song! I love all of his stuff tho! He's a Legend!
Blue Suede Shoes is a cover...i prefer the Carl Perkins version. Having said that, J&A could choose about 70 different songs and they would all be good options where Elvis is concerned.
Come on Elvis did only cover songs no original songs or music Elvis had to rent every single song he recorded there is not one Elvis song ever made but he served a purpose Richard Nixon and the FBI loved him
@@bige392 Elvis recorded many originals. You don’t have to be a singer-songwriter to record the original version of a song.
The "1968 Comeback Special" is PEAK cool Elvis - he just oooozed charisma. I would recommend any song from that special, but especially the first one, Heartbreak Hotel.
Yes definitely. My favorite from that is "One Night With You". I saw him in person in 1970 and he was still so beautiful.
I loved the 68 come back. My favorite was " Trying to Get to You"
He was so damn cool in that special..
@@aziniowa Agreed!
Black leather Elvis cannot be beat…. Swoon.
Baby what you want me to do. OMG ❤️
From the movie Jailhouse Rock. He did it all. Rock, country, gospel, pop. We were blessed to have him. Such a beautiful man.
He came up with all the dance moves, for that song. In the movie.
I was his friend for years up until his death. No one knew more than Elvis did how much he screwed up, he owned everything that he did in his life he blamed no one but himself for the shape he was in, and the choices he made. Priscilla also owns her part in the ending of their marriage she and i still talk a lot the loss of Lisa broke her. Elvis and i spoke a few times before his death he was the big brother i never had. We both needed a friend and we were that for each other. The memories we made in those short years are locked away in my heart forever. The last time we spoke we cried a lot because we both knew he was living on borrowed time he called me kiddo he said kiddo everything will be ok i said no it wouldn't because you will not be here anymore. He gave me the biggest hug and that sweet smile i will never forget. 3 days later he was gone and i will never get over it. #forevermysexyjello #forevermyking
🙏🏼🤍
There's never been anybody like Elvis, and there never will be.
Elvis used to give away Cadilacs on a whim . Sounds crazy but he did it.
I do think Michael Jackson was pretty genius too
@@bjornsantens3929 He got his moves from Elvis.
Michael Jackson
@@michaelfoxx547 He just copied Elvis's moves.
When I was in high school, I had the fortune to get to know a man who had retired after 50 years working on stage crews in Columbus Ohio. He was volunteering his time to teach us all about working on a stage. The best part was his stories of what various performers were like back stage. He told us that Elvis one of the few performers who would come out of his dressing room, grab a chair and talk with the stage crew as one of the guys. He had so much respect from everyone.
He didn’t forget his humble roots, that’s why (unlike some other performers).
I am born in the 80s, but grown up with elvis, the everley brothers and al the old good stuf❤ and i am so thankfull too my parents that they did this for my! 60s 70s and 80s music are the best ! And now my kids grow up with that music, and they loving it when i see my 7 year old song dancing on Elvis songs , my heart is melting ❤
I adore music, it's gotten me through so much in my life. But the day Elvis died my Mother was in hysterics. The news also told me this was not uncommon. I didn't understand that kind of hero worship for a musician. She mourned his passing every year until her death. We listened to Elvis among many others throughout our childhood
Imagine the crooners have ruled the airwaves for 20 years - Sinatra and Bing Crosby in particular - and then you hear this for the first time. It would be like an electric shock.
Wow, reality twist! So very true, though I never thought of it that way.
My 86yr old aunt has dementia and the only thing she remembers with any clarity is ELVIS! We play her his songs Lal the time cause they make her so happy. Suspicious Minds is my all-time favourite.
He was a true entertainer, not many left these days and a very humble person (as humble as one can be with the crowds of people that would rush him especially in the early days). My grandmother was walking in a casino in Las Vegas and she seen him with his entourage walking from one of his shows. She said hello and while he didn't sit down and talk to her or anything he at least stopped turned around said hello and shook her hand. That really speaks a lot to one's character. No matter how bad his health got in the later years his voice never failed him...wow.
Long Live The King 👑
Elvis Aaron Presley.. 🎙 🎼 ♥️
YEAH! In Forest Gump it was when Forest's mom has a boarding house and Elvis rented a room. So funny!
I love that movie!
Forrest taught him how to dance like that!
Need to watch his 1968 comeback special where he sings with his band mates and just their guitars...Iconic!
This is the first song of Elvis I ever heard I haven’t listen to a lot of his songs but I am a fan Rest In Peace Elvis 💜💜💜💜
Early Elvis pre 1961 is magnificent, stunning and completely different from after the army
Elvis was the man, he’s criminally underrated now.
Elvis is not underated…he’s still the king
Actually in the last 5 years quite a few modern artists have referenced or sampled his hits. You'd be surprised .
His girlfriends were criminally underage
@@kenchristie9214 not only to the younger generation. I grew up in the 80s and nobody was talking about Elvis.
Not underrated.... borderline forgotten.... recency bias
Elvis was one of a kind. This is an outtake from one of his movies Jailhouse Rock.
Elvis died Aug. 16, 1977. I was fixing to turn 16 and I went into hysterics when they interrupted my tv show to announce he'd passed away. 5 minutes later my mom had joined me.
For more of his iconic dance moves check him out live in Vegas in 1970 performing Suspicious Minds or Polk Salad Annie. The only reason Vegas has huge artists performing there every night is because of what Elvis brought to Vegas. Frank Sinatra may have worked in Vegas but Elvis made it THE destination to see past and present big name music stars perform nightly.
How Elvis was discovered is a long and involved story that, when it comes down to it, was due to his persistence and another man's fascination with finding a white artist with a feel for 'black' music. Here is the Wikipedia link for Elvis' life story and his rise from abject poverty to super stardom and iconic legend.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvis_Presley
The first music video.
If Sam Phillips was trying to find a white artist with a feel for black music, it’s really weird that he was having him record ballads and that Elvis himself started playing That’s All Right Mama” during a break. Much of the mythical history has been debunked, but it’s hard to overcome the folklore version.
@@JonBurrows3577 all I know is that was what Wikipedia said in so many words.
@@toodlescae You’re all good, anyone can edit Wiki and the actual chain of events gets corrupted with false memories of some of the critical players, and those who edit with the uncovered actual truth have to fight the edits clinging to folklore.
@@JonBurrows3577 it's been a long time since I watched any of the documentaries or read any of the biographical books and articles from back then so I don't remember specifics any more.
I do stand by my statement that Elvis' perseverance through all the rejection and naysayers was the biggest reason he succeeded.
Elvis was such a heartthrob that they got him to do several musical movies just to showcase his songs. But he actually was a pretty good actor too. I think this video is from one of his movies so those aren’t the moves they wouldn’t show. Today of course his moves wouldn’t raise any eyebrows but saying his gyrations were outlawed sold tickets.
Am so glad I found this today. 45 years since we lost the king, and this was one of the most iconic performances from one of the best movies that showed off young Elvis 👍😎
You guys should react to Jerry Lee Lewis. Great Balls of Fire and Whole Lotta Shaking Going On. He was amazing on the piano.
As a piano player myself I completely agree with you. I play more than just piano though since everyone around me is used to hearing me on my guitar or mandolin(both acoustic) my friends get this stunned shocked look on their faces when I sit down at a piano since I don't currently own one.
and Jerry Lee Lewis singing 4 songs with Tom Jones its magic you will both be in heaven
Ooohhh!!! Please please please 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Either one would be a great reaction
Yes! Please!
"Suspicious Minds" (live in Las Vegas) is good representation of Elvis having fun in the 70s.
Elvis The king of Rock
Michael Jackson King of pop 🙌💕💕
Both icons I love Blue Christmas by Elvis
Y’all’s reaction to hearing Elvis sing was utterly adorable!!!!!
Known as Elvis the Pelvis!!! Late 50's and early 60's was his heydey!!!!
I second the vote for "Black Velvet" by Alannah Myles! “Mama’s dancin’ with baby on her shoulder. The sun is settin’ like molasses in the sky.” It was a huge hit for her, and really a shame she didn't have more. Released back in 1990.
She has such a phenomenal voice. One of my favorite songs from that decade👍
Alannah Myles had a number of good songs: Love Is ua-cam.com/video/vQOrMzBewG0/v-deo.html , Lover Of Mine ua-cam.com/video/COKOs4oeiTc/v-deo.html , Who Loves You ua-cam.com/video/XtQkTH0oRCU/v-deo.html , Song Instead Of A Kiss ua-cam.com/video/2BsaxKucapY/v-deo.html .
I'll vote for that too!!!! Great song.
Throwing in my hellz ya for Black Velvet
Yessss! It references his first ever public appearance where he wore a black velvet shirt. He hadn't started dying his hair so it was his natural dirty blonde. The b/w footage is on YT.
I still get a kick how most people do not realize that this song is about guys having sex in prison..."rock -n- roll" was slang for sex in the black community back in the 50s and Elvis knew this as he grew up in that culture. When he answered the question "What kind of music is this" he answered with "Its LIKE rock-n-roll baby". He was saying the music was like sex, and that is how the genre got its name, with Elvis's answer by people that had no idea what he was saying.
"Number forty-seven said to number three:
"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see.
I sure would be delighted with your company,
Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me.""
The devil is always in the details.
I get a kick out of the fact that you dont know this song is not a video it was a scene in a movie called jail house rock. There were no videos in 1957
It also means fighting in the white country community.
Yeah right
Elvis burst on the world stage on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1956 singing Hound Dog, Don't Be Cruel, Love Me Tender and Reddy Teddy and others. It was seen by 86% of the national TV audience. Everyone was eager to see what he was like. There were so many great Elvis songs in the 50's and 60's and he made 31 feature films where he sang his current hits.
Elvis ruled the charts for years, until January 1964. Then the Beatles blew everyone out of the water and changed the trajectory of rock and roll.
I remember saying as the Beatles were on Ed Sullivan that they would never be as good as Elvis! And yet they did in their own way.
Elvis was far too different after he got out of the US Military and Paul McCartney even said that ..His music had trombone playing in it and other additions that were far from the original rockabilly sound .
You would probably enjoy Jerry Lee Lewis, whole lot of shaking going on and or great balls of fire, Great energetic piano for Jay, same time period as this
Elvis died on August 16th 1977. I was born on August 16th 1968. Yep he died on my 9th birthday.
Check out the Elvis Movie. Its awesome. It tells his story & 1st hit: "That's Alright Mama",
And my favorite 3 Elvis songs are "Burning Love," "Moody Blue" & "Kentucky Rain" as I'm a Kentucky girl born, raised, married & had my 2 children here.
"A Little Less Conversation" is a great rocker by Elvis. Remix version is even better, IMO. I hope you get a chance to react to it.
Elvis was known as “Elvis the Pelvis” for his rowdy dance moves!🤣
Be sure to check out, “Elvis and the Black Community”. You’ll gain that much more respect for the man.
I saw it. It's excellent!
@Lady Liberty So?
I also recommend they react to this🙏🏼
@@baileybowman2449 def should react to this one “Elvis and the Black Community”
Yes... it's a must watch. He was a beautiful soul.
Love Elvis. Saw him in Philadrlphia in 1977. You guys are so cute. Love your reactions.
Elvis is fire 🔥🎤❤🎼..love your reactions..so glad you guys get it 😊❤
A few upbeat Elvis songs: "All Shook Up" "Blue Suede Shoes" "Don't Be Cruel" -- Live performances if you can get them.
Little Sister!
I think you'll would like reacting to his performance of Don't Be Cruel on the Ed Sullivan Show on Jan 6 1957. There is also another time he played the same song on the show in 1956. You'll get to see how charismatic he can be with a live audience. ua-cam.com/video/CpKyFTYvhpU/v-deo.html
@@jco207 As I recall they started showing him only from the waist up on those variety shows because his movements were "too suggestive"!
"BLUE SUEDE SHOES" and "HOUND DOG" are a must listen.
The 1977 death of Elvis was the first time that I, as a young child had experienced hearing the news of a national tragedy. I wasn't born when President Kennedy was assassinated. I have flashes of memories hearing about the Watergate scandal & President Nixon's resignation on TV. But when you're a little kid, you don't realize the magnitude of the news you're hearing. You are in your own little bubble world. Elvis' passing was the first time that I witnessed the entire country in shock & mourning. I was 10 yrs old & can still clearly remember that day - mom was cleaning house, she had the radio on & when the DJ made the announcement, she & my aunt started cry-yelling (wailing as if in physical pain). It kind of scared me to see that strong of an emotional reaction, that seemingly came out of nowhere. My uncle turned on the TV & it was being broadcasted on every channel. I remember going outside, seeing my neighbors gathering on the streets, going to my friends' houses & seeing their parents crying... It was awful. The only other time I experienced a celebrity death which affected me on a personal level was Robin Williams' suicide in 2014.
Yep Elvis on going multibtaitnt kind, happy smiles man👍and he doesn't look bad either 😏👍just amazing Angel fr heaven🙏
A later Elvis tune, and not quite as dancy, is "Suspicious Minds." I'd love to see your reaction to it.
-JR in Miami
Fabulous song…written about Pricilla
I actually like Waylon Jennings and Jessie Culture version better. It makes more sense as a duet.
Love that song, though it's heartbreaking.
If you watch it , watch the version from Vegas 70.
That's my favorite Elvis song.
His best period. He was a rocker first and foremost
Love this video! It’s Elvis in all his glory. Great moves, fun song. He had such charisma. When I think of Elvis this is how I see him.
I have always been an Elvis fan, and I saw what I think was his last tv concert. When he first came on stage, I was shocked and saddened about how he looked. But after he started singing, I could forget how he looked and still love him. I would love to get your reactions.
Anything from the comeback special is golden
Elvis does a great rendition of That's Alright Momma on the comeback special! As you say though every song is great on that special.🔥🔥🎸🎸
“Trying to get to you” was my favorite from the special.
Mine too Eddie. It was awesome..
You need to do Suspicious Minds by Elvis.. its amazing
My fav! 👍
Elvis died on August 16, 1977. I was learning to drive and had driven myself, my Mama and my little brother to get a snow cone. When I came back to the car with our snow cones, my Mama told me the devastating news she had just heard on the radio. Elvis was my cousin, his Mama and my great grandmother were first cousins. My family, like his, was terribly poor living in Tupelo, Mississippi. I have a rescue dog who came with the name Elvis. I always thought that he was given that name because he has one blue eye. However, not long after adopting him, I discovered that he probably got his name BECAUSE HE CAN SING!!! And since the more famous Elvis was my cousin, my Elvis has the hashtag #cousinelvis.
Best times of my life, (80’s/90’s) vacations traveling in the car with my parents and sisters, blasting and singing along to GOOD OLDIES!!!! Yes 👏🏼 best times. 🥰
I've always loved Elvis's Are You Lonesome Tonight. Lovely song.
My Nanna was a big Elvis fan, and she really really loved his gospel music too. Her favourite of his gospel songs was How Great Thou Art, so much so that we played it at her funeral.
no one was cooler than elvis when he was young
I loved seeing you two react to this, and IF I CAN DREAM. Good to see you understand what it's all about. If you really want to be blown away, look up Elvis doing HOUND DOG on the Milton Berle show. You don't get more raw and untamed ELVIS than that!
That performance sums up Elvis, and ROCK'N'ROLL itself!!
His first massive hit was Heartbreak Hotel. One of my all time favorites.
Great song, just a cool tune. Would recommend "A Little Less Conversation" and "Suspicious Minds". Dig it! Good stuff.
you gotta like the dance...............
I'm so glad people are getting to know him like us old heads love it
What is interesting is Elvis went into the army the following year. Elvis Aron Presley entered the United States Army at Memphis, Tennessee, on March 24, 1958, and then spent three days at the Fort Chaffee, Arkansas, Reception Station. He left active duty at Fort Dix, New Jersey, on March 5, 1960, and received his discharge from the Army Reserve on March 23, 1964.
Elvis was the King Of Rock & Roll for a reason! He was discovered when he walked into Sun Records to record a record for his Mama for her birthday... the rest is History.
"If you're an Elvis fan, no explanation is necessary; If you're not an Elvis fan, no explanation is possible." This sums up Elvis.
Let’s not overlook Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller’s contribution to Elvis’s early success. They wrote this, Hound Dog and many other Elvis hits.
I'm always amazed at what our younger generation has not heard.
I was 6 years old when Elvis died and i still remembered it. Like a wave of sadness swept the world. Huge respect for him, I realized how amazingly exceptional he was in my later years. He truly was a phenomenal being, so talented and gorgeous.
I was the same age and its the first news story I remember x
Same. I remember going to school and hearing it on the radio. It was a sad day.
Elvis could dance sing . He was the whole package. This song is from the movie Jailhouse Rock from 1957
This is not only a song, but also a movie. I think his first one, you might want to watch it sometime.
Imagine - this year in January he'd have been 86 - and all his fans have never left him.
I'm a Memphian so I grew up hearing all about Elvis. My Mom LOVED him! I actually saw him in concert but I was only 3. I heard so many stories going to Elvis week celebrations - guys he hung out with said that he was so beautiful that women and men literally threw themselves at him. And that he would sing at the piano after concerts for hours! He loved gospel music.
This is why they called him the king of rock and roll yeah he had a whole lot of energy for a young man and the way he danced everything got all the girls crazy
One of the pioneers of rock-a-billy!
You guys should do Tina turner- Proud Mary
Yes! A live version.
That exact word they used to describe Elvis's moves, "Vulgar" He was nicknamed Elvis the Pelvis.
Thank you for playing Elvis Presley love it 🙏
My favorite Elvis song is SUSPICIOUS MINDS. OMG. ITS AWESOME 😎
