This man was the next best thing after Elvis,had a few LPs of him ,for me he deserved so much more then he got ,loved to listen to Orion, that's what I called him, a man out of this world 🙏❤❤❤
i have verry fond memories of this man my mom and dad were close to him and went to many of his shows i remember being on his tour bus and sittin on his lap when i was around 5 or 6 years old he was a great man and singer
Yes jimmys voice is great. If anyone remembers Elvis sang this song and actually sat down & played the piano at his last concert. Elvis also said the song was coming out in a few weeks..
I wish I had been able to hear him before 1988 when he passed away. I, too, may have been under the impression that he was Elvis. I think he could be Elvis' half brother. Who knows.
he was a great singer i went all over to watch him meet him and his band several times. the world lost to great singers. love all his songs. i have his albums and my daughter to this day loves the song my washing machine. miss you orion.
É natural,ficou provado através do ADN que Jimmy Ellis é irmão de Elvis filho de Vernon,fora do casamento com d.Gladys,e Elvis sabia.Dai o timbre de voz e alguns traços fisionômicos.
Well... he was born to a single mom and the birth certificate states father as Vernon (no surname). He was born in Mississippi where Vernon Presley lived at the time before moving to Tennessee. There was a resemblance with Vernon as well.
@@laartwork Except for one detail, Elvis was born in TN in 1935, Orion was born in 1945. Vernon was in that state before he moved to Tennessee. It doesn't say anything about after.
There's a great documentary about Jimmy Ellis on Netflix right now (which brought me here). Touching, enlightening, and ultimately, sad. The guy trusted the wrong people and never really achieved the unconditional fame he sought his entire adult life. Worth a watch if you have the interest.
Oh just finding out about this imitator of Elvis. Interested, but I hope can get it at library by a miracle. I can't pay netflix. etc rn, but maybe later get time to get it it free trial maybe. Idk. I have not had it in a long time or yrs now. Hopefully I won't forget or be too late taken out already or will be by time I decide to. I will search it now just incase.
I am sorry to say, but Elvis #1 & sometimes newer better artists are better then the original black & white older time singers, sometime not. It all depends. Usually for me is the later, but thanks to original writer, etc the newer better versions can be made. I appreciate both. Elvis sung it as a broken heart sad as lyrics becon, etc, but with Covid my own heartbrake of life & my life O do rather listen to the original, not not at all, cuz it reminds me of sad Elvis one. I believed it was his, bit not sure. I think heard his first then original. I had heard the name of the group, but I had never seen what they looked like till now on videos here. Quite nice, just not the lure sex appeal girl fan crush you would get for Elvis or other artist, but the lead singer who sung it had nice smile. I will go back to finish the soon & see what else is out there on them. Thanks for the comment it made me look it up more then others who mentioned about it under this & other videos of this artist who looked like him so much.
@cooter No need to insult. The originals werevery good. Like that version, cuz a good original if you look up videos on here, but Elvis was saddest most emotion. The originals made it happy which appreciate too, but this was just a nice job, less emotion in it.
I just watched the over hour long Elvis contest with 30 lookalikes from all over the world and Shawn Klush won but there were so many of them that could sound similar to Elvis. But listening to Jimmy that is absolutely the best.
Sounds a lot like Elvis - Although there was only one - Jimmy did justice to this song...I think Elvis even would have thought so. He didn't mind giving credit where credit was due💯✌🏽
This is the only song of Elvis I just can't watch as I watched the original video and he was so sick and struggling sing it. Just cant bare watching as its so sad and makes me cry like a baby. lovely song though and Orion is brilliant at signing it.
Someone said, he could be the Vernon Presley's son...... Well if you check like I did, you can see and understand by yourself that Elvis is got much for his mother especially the distance between his eyes and other things that you can see by yourself, he didn't get much from Vernon probably just the height.
His packaging may have been a little cheesy but he could sing. This is a great 45 but is very hard to find. I finally found it. If he put it on vinyl I have it.
No other man on this planet has ever sang and let the love feel my heart but this man know one but Elvis this is him and I have proof he's a man of God right now Amy has telegram group Facebook group he shows his pictures seek and you shall find
@TheParanormalPodcast A hypocrisy . We got this from The ancient world. Two Man, one voice !!! and shape. create a lot of comments. That’s all right mama That’s all right with you Anyway you do. That’s a nice poem for Elvis. ( American is that child, with dignity and pride. But he’s falling to believe, that he stuck In that’s all right !!!! 😆😅🤣 that’s Tupelo Mississippi. Elvis baby, the 70s
:) Ricky Nelson recorded this song on one of his LPs in the 1950s - Long before the Righteous Brothers & ELvis did this song on his LP MOODY BLUE 1977 , the Righteous Brothers did this song in the Late 1960s :) ......
was this his natural voice? i have read he simply had siialar vocal cords than elvis. im a HUGE elvis fan but i gtta say i respect orion.he very easily could have cashed in as the greatest elvis impersonator vocal wise of all time.
+Tommy Williams Which is also why he took the mask off and embarked on an unsuccesful career of doing his own songs. He was sick and tired of being hailed as being an Elvis impersonator. It's too bad, this guy had such a talent and nothing to show for it.
The person that killed him and his woman friend should rot in jail like the person that killed John Lennon should also rot and one that kills a person for no reason should never get out off jail
IfI knew someone of this caliber was coming to my town I'd easily find 50$ to go see him. He didn't hit Elvis high falsetto on it- From what I've heard he needed better management
I played this song for my girlfriend she thought it was Elvis but I told her its Jimmy Ellis she still thinks its Elvis and theres no way I can convince her its Jimmy !!
@randy my fam followed him everywhere { I was bout 16 & i was talking to Tim & Phillip n I said "What a nice bus & They said ya wanna see the inside & i was like okay & b4 i could step in Dennis came out & said 'NO SHE CANT BE ON THIS BUS- i just 🤭 n said im sorry
people say jimmy and elvis sound different that is because the music jimmy recored was with newer equipment elvis was not that effects the sound listen at some of jimmys live shows where the sound was not so good
Ah no way ! Always knew his version only & you are in love when you hear it. His was sadder though. No one like Elvis. Not just hype, but this guy did it happier, just okay. His voice allot like his though. Too much close like his. That is about it. Oh & looks a quite plenty like him.
Rod Scrivner Elvis did hear one of Jimmy's songs it was sent to elvis's manager to get Jimmy started I read.Elvis I believed would love Jimmy but sadly they never met.
RKoen2006 I read somewhere one night on the net that they did meet. If you read Mommy's bio, his dad is Vernon unknown surname and mother is Gladys Bell. Born in MS. 4HRS down the road from Elvis. They supposedly talked and got Vernon involved and found out the rest of the story...
I absolutely hate the talk of garbage that Jimmy Ellis sounded like Elvis I can CLEARLY WITHOUT A DOUBT DISTGUISH between Elvis and Jimmy. He wasn't Elvis half brother, brother or anything else. Only imitation but a decent singer. He doesn't has Elvis appeal or likeness in my opinion.
@cooter yes I realize that! But we were talking about Jimmy Ellis impersonating ELVIS and he covered ELVIS's cover of the Righteous brother's song 🤔🤷 of course I know who's song it belongs to. Hell I grew up in the 1960's and I heard on the radio long before ELVIS even thought about recording it.
Elvis would be proud to listen to Jimmy Ellis perform his songs.
Awesome. Beautiful
Elvis was actually aware of Jimmy abnd had heard several of his songs! Although Jimmy never found out if Elvis liked them or not.
Ellis is the best voice ever since elvis shame he never got the apriceation he really deserved
Man I'm an Elvis fan, I could recognize his voice between thousands... this guy in some parts had a very similar voice!
I agree absolutely with you pal.
Imitation is a talent and a study.
he´s Elvis brother, vernon´s son
@@robinpresleywoodward That was just his natural born voice. There’s a great documentary about him. Vernon was his dad.
That explains why he can sing like a Presley😊@@27clubband74
This song is wonderful. Orion did a great job. God Bless you Orion. You is in the heaven.
This man was the next best thing after Elvis,had a few LPs of him ,for me he deserved so much more then he got ,loved to listen to Orion, that's what I called him, a man out of this world 🙏❤❤❤

Lucky you.
This dude is the master of all the guys out there. Love his voice, loud and strong like thunder storm. Give me a power to go through a rough day.
He is a true talent . Amazing.
Yes jimmys voice is great. If anyone remembers Elvis sang this song and actually sat down & played the piano at his last concert. Elvis also said the song was coming out in a few weeks..
Such talent, so underrated.
A haunting but beautifully mastered version by the One & Only...ORION
What a voice. What a voice.
Indeed it was Elvis voice reincarnated! It was do good God had to repeat it !
@@lilyvalley5389 There you go.
I am hugly impressed how good Mr Ellis sounds. So sad I didnt discovered him before.
I wish I had been able to hear him before 1988 when he passed away. I, too, may have been under the impression that he was Elvis.
I think he could be Elvis' half brother. Who knows.
Jimmy died in 1998
@@laartwork Okay. Sorry.

I'm a die hard elvis fan, this guy's voice is beautiful. Most of them I do not like, but this one good I liked it alot
Aquest cantant aconsegueix un to de veu molt i molt similar al d'Elvis.....de seguida et recorda el so inigualable del noi de Tupelo.

LOVE..passion...singing..NEVER ending!!...Amen!🙏💖💒
Jimmy Ellis (Orion)é um cantor extraordinário e um digno cover de Elvis.Ambos partiram mas ficaram para sempre na nossa memória.❤
I'm a huge Elvis fan and there is NO doubt this guy sounds CLOSER to Elvis than anyone I've EVER HEARD!!!!! Has to be related
Well... he was born to a single mom and the birth certificate states father as Vernon (no surname). He was born in Mississippi where Vernon Presley lived at the time before moving to Tennessee. There was a resemblance with Vernon as well.

Definitely related, i think Vernon was his father
My mom was an authority on elvis and when this guy came out she couldnt hardly tell the difference. He was something special!
My mother also thought that
Hust a few subtle differences but Jimmy was best Elvis impersonator
Orion = Fan, Singer, Man = True Fan
Keep coming back to this best version along with elvis himself fantastic

me too! I thought it might be a mockumentry.
Hello Jeff, I actually watched the documentary here in France a few days ago. Indeed a sad story for Jimmy Ellis. What an incredible voice though.
What's the name of that documentary?
Oh just finding out about this imitator of Elvis. Interested, but I hope can get it at library by a miracle. I can't pay netflix. etc rn, but maybe later get time to get it it free trial maybe. Idk. I have not had it in a long time or yrs now. Hopefully I won't forget or be too late taken out already or will be by time I decide to. I will search it now just incase.
Why the mask on Ellis?
Nobody ever did or will do this as great as The Righteous Brothers. Bob did an incredible job. Gone to soon.

I can not abide Elvis impersonators. . but have to say I have to listen real hard to tell jimmy and Elvis apart vocally. . .
I know what you mean. Even though I've listened to both Elvis and Jimmy for years I still have to remind myself who I'm listening to in the moment.
ben jones he IS ellis
\w/ Very Metal \w/ Orion is it!
Jimmy Ellis is Elvis Presley step brother
no half its said there dad were both vernon presley
In a dovumentary there was tallmabout elvus father with an affaire with a house keep mayne he is elvus half brother
Voz muito parecida com a do meu ídolo Elvis. Mas a potência da voz do Elvis é incomparável.
He looks like Vernon.
The person that killed him and his partner should rot in jail hope they do like to person that shot down John Lennon should rot there to
The person that killed him and his woman friend should rot in jail like the person that killed John Lennon should also rot and one that kills a person for no reason should never get out off jail
IfI knew someone of this caliber was coming to my town I'd easily find 50$
to go see him. He didn't hit Elvis high falsetto on it- From what I've heard he needed better management
Some say Elvis had another singer jump in on the high notes, not sure if that's true though.
@@paulfitzgerald4933 My friend Donnie Sumner was rumored to have done it, but he won't talk too much about Elvis. Too painful for him.
He was a clone his daddy, moreso than Elvis did.
I agree with you on that
I played this song for my girlfriend she thought it was Elvis but I told her its Jimmy Ellis she still thinks its Elvis and theres no way I can convince her its Jimmy !!
It's ELVIS ARON PRESLEY NO it's Got too Be ELVIS ARON PRESLEY NO Doubt in My Heart ❤️ and in My Mind it's ELVIS ARON PRESLEY.

Was waitin for him to hit that high note like in the original, but it never came.
is jmmy ellis
people say jimmy and elvis sound different that is because the music jimmy recored was with newer equipment elvis was not that effects the sound listen at some of jimmys live shows where the sound was not so good
Jesse Presley
Sounds a lot like Elvis
huh?
Like many have said..give credit where credit is do. I'm a huge Elvis fan but Jimmy out Elvis'd Elvis on this one.
Sorry, But No He Didn't
No way lol
Ah no way ! Always knew his version only & you are in love when you hear it. His was sadder though. No one like Elvis. Not just hype, but this guy did it happier, just okay. His voice allot like his though. Too much close like his. That is about it. Oh & looks a quite plenty like him.
He was murdered.
@samysam1313 I agree...Elvis totally messed this song up but Jimmy did perfect!
Elvis was so sick by the time he recorded it. His live performance at the piano was an embarrassment. So, so sad.

He doesn't, but the voice 8s allot like his & you can't tell sometimes from what I have just heard. So you are so very wrong !
BOB joyce = jimmy ellis
How do you know Elvis Presley didn't fake his death and this guy was lip-syncing the real Elvis's voice controversy continues.
Actually better than Fat Elvis, but way behind fit Elvis
Maybe the twin brother didn’t die?
No half he was said to belong to Vernon presley he looked just like him
