He would never Imagine he was changing our lives forever and writing a story of the most handsome performer that ever walked the face of this Earth ⚡⚡⚡⚡
I like the differences in the way he sang the song. Always thought it had to do with Elvis' voice changing over the years and Elvis adapts the same song for comfort to his vocal ability. I suppose many singers voices change over the years, Johnny Cash and Tom Jones comes to mind. But Elvis had quite a spectacular change in a short amount of time and it seemed to fall in line with the type of material he was converting to. This might also be a good reason why Elvis' appeal was so wide spread because fans then like and choose particular periods. I loved the similarity between 'That's All Right' 1954, to the version he sang in Hawaii 1961. The 1961 voice could still do the '54 voice but had the maturity of the early 60's voice too. A wonderful and dynamic performer, quite umparalleled in all his facets
Agreed, and I think that Heartbreak Hotel is one of the best examples of his adaptation. His voice in the 70s doesn't sound 'weak' like many people comment on in these tracks, just different.
Not only thier voice but thier sound too, for Elvis it was just 3 or 2 guys in the 50s but in the 60s it seemed like thier was a 10 people and the 70s it was a 30 peice band. Same as Johnny Cash, his style was just simple two guys in the 50s/60s, but in the 70s and the 80s his style changed big time (90s and 2000s were just him sometimes) and if you know him, Waylon Jennings.
@@MarkRogersVOCFB His voice matured. There is no proof of over use of drugs to affect his voice. Elvis smoked very little, in fact hardly at all. Over work ????
What a dream .His voice never let him down.Beautiful gorgeous man a angelic voice.The king has left the building but memories will he with us forever.🥰❤️💯🎸
What a Period! 1956-1977: HEARTHBREAK HOTEL by Elvis Presley Through The Years... What a Period! 1956-1977: Same as when I was born (1956) to my 21st birthday (1977)... I feel as if I am living in the GRACE OF GOD. Thank You GOD...
I'd say the 2nd one is my favorite of all time I liked it more than the studio version, however the 68 comeback was incredible as well and it sounded even better in the new movie.
Estoy de acuerdo, liz, pero x otro lado tambien lo disfrutamos siempre joven, me hubiese gustado q tuviera mas salud, para su bien, pero seguro esta en brazos de dios como el siempre soño, dios bendiga siempre su alma inmortal! Elvis forever💽🌹🌸🌈💒❤
The Dorsey Bros show version from 1956 is pure genius. It is possibly Elvis' greatest performance ever. The 1961 version is killer also. The 68-69 versions are still good since he's still invested. The last time does the song justice is during the midnight show 8/12/70.
Jai bientot 62 ans je suis fan d elvis mon idole absolut depuis 1966 elvis a toujours fait parti de ma vie. Tout est à travers de ces chansons que jai vaincu. Jai vu elvis en 1972 1975 1976 n étant pas majeur j ai été accompagné par ma grand mère .

Aveces pienso si sera verdad ese fuerte rumor de que el Elvis Joven y vigoroso del 56' murio en el servicio militar y el Elvis de los 60' es el hermano gemelo que lo suplantó El segundo Elvis con mucho respeto para mi idolo pero lo veia un poco presumido al cantar y moverse ☇
Elvis’ manager, Col. Tom Parker, said in a press conference shortly after his death: “Elvis didn’t die. The body did. We’re keeping up the good spirits. We’re keeping Elvis alive. I talked to him this morning and he told me to 'carry on.’” (Elvis did not die and he wanted out. - Col. Tom Parker. 1977) After hearing so many stories about the death of Elvis Presley, I have decided to tell the world the real story on the facts concerning that day in August, 1977. Yes, that day, the 16th of August. Is it a coincidence that a person born on that January 8, first month, eighth day, would perish on the 8th month and the 16th day? Probably if two (2) people were born on that day it makes more sense. You see, numerology always played an important part of my life and still does today. So many people have written or spoke about my death as a hoax. It was not a hoax! I decided to reinvent myself in the form of my brother (Jesse Garon) and yes, Elvis Presley did die that day. But after much searching for the right people, I found several people from different states who I consider my most loyal and trustworthy friends. To some people this book will be just another scandalous piece of fiction, but when you are done I think you will think otherwise. I always felt my brother deserved to live and what better way to let him live his life than to end mine. I was lonely, depressed, in bad health and my numerology chart said that this was the time for it to come to end. Anyone who studies numerology will understand, those who don't may want to look into it. All of the facts (and there are many) even the experts will say they are more than coincidences. I no longer give away Cadillacs or expensive pieces of jewelry because I am nothing more than a man who had a very famous brother. I am not a great literate (I never wrote my own songs), but I am not illiterate either. The perfect day August 16, 1977, 1 + 9 + 7 + 7 = 24, my age backwards (42), the facts go on and on. But my true reasons for the book are for my fans. My death was not a hoax! To my fans, please forgive me, my brother deserved to live, he was with me constantly (spiritually). My life would not be the same had he lived at birth. This was my way of giving him life, and corny as it sounds. The Colonel took this secret to his grave. He was a loyal friend. But I will no longer stand by and have people like Gail Brewer tell you stories that are pure fiction. This book written by a true friend will help you realize why I did what I did. - The Truth About Elvis Aron Presley In His Own Words. (2001). My fascination with the idea of a hoax about death was when Jim Morrison died July 3rd, 1971. Although I saw no correlation (he died at age 27) I was astounded that as famous as he was the body was just closed up and shipped out. Now I don't know all the facts concerning his death. I thought it awfully strange that no autopsy was performed (or so I thought) and just forgotten about. There were a lot of rumors about his death. I noticed he was born on the 8th day. Born in 1944 = 1-8 and died in 1971 = 1-8. Remember my comeback in 1968? 1+9+6+8 = 24. Obviously, I was no longer 24, so I reversed the age to 42. The next time that number had any relevance was 1977 (1+9+7+7 = 24 when I would be 42. Numerology can and does play an important part of my life and we knew that would have to be the date. Most people if they know what to look for will find significance in the forms of numbers in all of my movies! Example: gravestone in " Loving You" (year) 1878 = ? (1+8+7+8 = 24). You have to look at the movies. My hero James Dean died at the age of 24, but I was on top of the world then and wanted to live. - The Truth About Elvis Aron Presley In His Own Words. (2001). I will start about 1974 when the thought first came to me about faking my death. I have always been fascinated with the occult and other spiritual things. When I first saw a wax dummy of myself made by a Mr. Cooper I was fascinated with it. For some time I had thought if it was possible? Could I pull this thing off? I had asked Mr Cooper if he could make another wax dummy for me. He said he could. I in turn said I wanted him to do it and keep it strictly confidential. When I had mentioned it to a very few close friends (Joe Esposito, Larry Geller) they did not think I was serious. I was tired of being Elvis Presley, my health was deteriorating. I just couldn't keep up. My finances were floundering because of my daddy's poor business ventures. I was at my wit's end. As the years progressed I had my ups and downs which are pretty well documented in other books. I also had two detectives from Colorado who I trusted immensely. Originally the date was 1976 according to my numerology charts but I chickened out. A pact was made on the grounds of Graceland one night, hands placed over hands that this secret would never be spoken of outside this room. I picked four (4) of us initially and to this day all have kept the secret. I also know when this book reaches the bookstores people (my loyal friends) will be heartbroken. They took care of me and convinced others that I was no longer alive. In reality Elvis Presley died that day and my twin brother "Jesse" came to life, living in hiding but as a normal human being. I skip around because I am writing stream of consciousness. My own Daddy bless his soul never knew the truth. Little Lisa was told months later and explained to her she would not see me much. The Colonel took this secret to his grave. Many people believe me to still be alive but I was told in the beginning there would be no contact in order for this to work. I go thru a lot of ups and downs since 1977 and have lived in many states but I insisted I needed to be in a warm climate. My personal thoughts are that my fans will understand. That is very important to me. I just could not face myself any more after seeing myself in the mirror and that is where Larry Geller came in. He asked if he could write a book, and I gave him my blessing. "If I Can Dream" is the title and I like his book. He had filled my head with spiritual thoughts and made me believe we could pull this off. If I had stayed longer I think I would have been booed off the stage. That is why I chose the date 8-16-77. Do you know how many famous people passed away on that date? The great Robert Johnson died on 8-16 and he was born in 1935! Babe Ruth, and Bela Lugosi and many others. I must say I was very nervous that day 8-16. But it had to be done before I went on the road where I would not have been able to pull it off. Did you know there are secret compartments in Graceland that very few people know about! A few like Vester would joke about my being alive but no one took him serious. Many of my friends would ask if I were still alive and they have their doubts but as it was I might have died broke and just a shell of myself. I was given an injection that looked like I was dead but the people closest to me knew better. Believe me I had my doubts that this could be pulled off. But it did and I became Jesse, just a poor white southern boy who didn't sing a lick of anything. I feel bad my Daddy wasn't allowed to know but it just couldn't be done. I better go now and collect my thoughts to tell you the rest next time. - The Truth About Elvis Aron Presley In His Own Words. (2001).

In fact, people are dumb, how could the beatles overcome Elvis popularity when they were not as talented. Don't get me wrong, I like the beatles, but their voices were just generic, they had 5 or 6 non generic songs, the rest sound beatles, if you know what i mean.
I agree. The Beatles are overrated. I guess they did write their lyrics and stuff, there's that difference... but EP is miles away as an entertainer and a performer and ofc that voice!
Paul McCartney’s voice is far from generic. Beatles are very different breed of musicians. They wrote their own material, experimented with it, were great with their instruments as well, and shaped modern music. Post 66 stuff is far from generic and even pre 66 songs had some interesting structures and chords going on. Elvis was a singer and entertainer, who did not write his own stuff, who in 60s simply went out of fashion until his 68 comeback. Elvis was stuck in his cheap movies, so he couldn’t do anything great musically in Beatles time. While Beatles were something new unlike Elvis in 60s, but Elvis for sure was their idol and inspiration. You can’t say that Elvis was more or less talented then the Beatles, because they have actually two different jobs. Elvis was very underrated as producer, that’s the thing. In current times they seem both being on the same level of popularity though.
He would never Imagine he was changing our lives forever and writing a story of the most handsome performer that ever walked the face of this Earth ⚡⚡⚡⚡
You are right, jacobede! Thanks god we live in his same era, and can enjoy his insuperable music

It doesn't matter what year Elvis sang this song,he will still be the greatest singer and performer of all time

Elvis’ voice clearly peaked in the early to mid 60’s. In the 70s it had suffered from years of drug and nutritional abuse, smoking and over work.
@@MarkRogersVOCFB His voice matured. There is no proof of over use of drugs to affect his voice. Elvis smoked very little, in fact hardly at all. Over work ????
He was physically in great shape until 1975. It only took two years for the drug use to catch up to him and kill him. But his voice never faltered.
I love all variations of Hound Dog. Just like I love all variations of Elvis from year to year.I just Love Him..❤
'68 comeback special was the most awesome version for me 😍
ELVIS WAS OUR HEART BREAK WHEN HE LEFT US !

1960 was 1961 actually Live in Hawaii
1960 was 1961
Was Elvis rich?
Yes but he did spend a lot of money sometime ho when he died he only had about 5 million dollars I think
Why do you have have a dance from stuck on you from 1960
Aveces pienso si sera verdad ese fuerte rumor de que el Elvis Joven y vigoroso del 56' murio en el servicio militar y el Elvis de los 60' es el hermano gemelo que lo suplantó

He sang it in 1961 not 1960
He didn't song heartbreak hotel in 1977 only at spring tours
Elvis didn't perform heartbreak hotel 1977
He did.
He didn't sing this song in '60.
Well you can say that as he gained fat and lost grittiness so did the song
