Guys to address this I knew Elvis sung the song before he died I just worded it wrong which happens to people all the time! What I meant at 1:59 is that I didn’t know if he sung the song right before he died (as in close to his death) or way before thats all I was trying to say.
So nice to see young folk like yourself to be touched by Elvis, He sure was a great man, not only by his music but his kind personalty, towards the less fortunate, he never forgot where he came from growing up poor, I just loved the man really, I was 18 in 1977 & will never forget Aug 16th 1977, will never forget the shock when a news flash came on tv The King of Rock & Roll is dead, a very sad day for the world really, a few yrs later I was watching a program about Elvis & it showed a news clip from around the world saying the King was dead, China, Russia, Holland, Japan, plus few other countries, of course I could not understand the language except for the world Elvis, But funny Elvis never performed outside N America & yet the man was loved worldwide, so it shows the great voice he had, After his death his Dad said it best when he said, God gave Elvis a gift & he gladly shared it with the world,
I like the way you love Elvis I love him too he is the king and always will be, I was 8 months old when he passed, if you didn't watch his (Aloha from Hawaii) concert go ahead and watch it it's on youtube you gonna love it, there's a countless of Elvis videos I can tell you about but I'm just gonna mention few like the song ( young dreams) from King Creole 1958, also (the next step is love)song,( something in the way) from Aloha from Hawaii 1973, and check out his Gospel music songs like( Milky white way)and more. It's just great to see someone love Elvis the way you do, beautiful Chanel and you're beautiful too.
Elvis knows NOW !!! And to see UR reaction and others still TODAY!! He would have been AMAZED!! In AWW so to speak. And he would have LOVED IT!!! Elvis was a very Humble Guy. NEVER! EVER! thought he was better then anyone
I love this beautiful soul. RIP Elvis. Thank you for all you gave to this world and how you always helped others. We'll love and miss you forever! 🧡💔💚💔💙💔💜💔🤎💔💛💔
You are so sweet. Elvis did have an impact, on millions. I guess thats what we would all like to do in the end....look back and hopefully see we we left a mark on the world.....a good mark.
He was the greatest they'll never be another one not with his heart his compassion his love for his fellow man that will never be another Elvis Presley when God made him he simply made the best that is a funeral. I hate as much as anything along with losing my mother and my uncles and my grandparents he was part of my family that's the way I saw him he was a stranger somebody I didn't know he was somebody I loved somebody I lost and I still morning to this day
Yes. Elvis asked this to Joe. Do you believe that the people’s will remember me? When the King Elvis can knows that we cannot forget him. Elvis has make and rock the whole wide world. God bless the king in heaven.
You've formed an attachment as millions of us have, we feel his pain, thats why we have a job watching this and his last concert. The change of those last few years are unbelievable. He was such a beautiful man inside and out, his fame and dealing with it killed him. RIP Mr Presley you'll always be the greatest of all time ❤
You can't believe the number of people who came to Memphis when they heard the news. THEY CAME FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. To show how much Elvis extended love his brothers and sisters - it was so hot that people were passing out from exhaustion but they continued to stand outside his home. THE Presley Family provided refreshments to everyone. This is what Elvis would have wanted because he thought of his fans before himself. Elvis never forgot where he came from and who helped his family when they had nothing. He felt giving back to the needy or less fortunate was the reason God put him on this earth. Elvis never realized how famous he was. He just felt he was lucky and everything he had was from God. If you met him in person, he was as common as anyone else. This man never thought in his mind he was something special. This is why people come every year on his birthday and 8/16 anniversary of his death. CAN YOU BELIEVE PEOPLE CALLED HIM WHITE TRASH? He never held it against them. His father said they were poor, but they weren't white trash.
I remember Aug 16 1977 very well. I was only 4 but already loved him. And i heard news and sit down and cried my eyes out. My parents had just saw him 4 months before that, and i wanted to go. It still breaks my heart.
Name Billy Lambert in Australia 🇦🇺 big fan of Elvis Presley king of the rock’n’roll very good actor and singer very good looking Elvis Presley me I like Elvis Presley at 2 year old Elvis Presley 6:2 tall Elvis mother side family full blood Cherokee Indian USA 🇺🇸

I grew up on elvis music,thanks to mama. I was 1 year old when he died. Mom was an elvis fan. I grew up listening to all the old records. As i grew up i wore those records out lol. Mama had a big record collection. Sadly mamas no longer here and niether are the records. They got stolen. But i grew up on those records and others. Mama did right!.....mama ,i miss more than youth! Elvis i dont miss,because ill always have memories,mamas records,and the music.
Very emotional video. Thanku. Did you know that there were more flowers sold in the USA on the day of Elvis’s funeral than ever before or since. Greetings from the Uk 🇬🇧❤️
When Elvis died only a few select people were allowed into his home where are they had his body laying in a viewing room. Singer James Brown was one of the few allowed into the home as people were coming and going James Brown stayed there for 6 hours crying and refusing to leave Elvis's side. James Brown and Priscilla would come out occasionally for a few minutes and then go back in the room with Elvis and cry and cry.
I can't believe I'm older than Elvis when he died. At least I can say I shared the earth for a few months with him before he passed. Same with John Lennon, four years older than him
Elvis died in August of 1977. I was born in January of 1978. I only missed him by 6 months. Both of my parents remember the day he died. I have listened to his music and watched his movies all of my life. I also have approximately 50 vinyl LP albums of Elvis, some of which are original pressings. He sounds so much better on vinyl. I love your Elvis reactions and your appreciation for not only his music, but for the man that he was.
It still hurts and still makes me cry seeing the funeral, it was televised on all networks. I was 16 when it happened, I was in shock for the longest time after they interrupted television programming to announce that he was gone. I remember just sitting there starring at the tv I couldn't move and was numb, no tears would even flow. Finally, I got up and went to my room, turned on the radio and all the stations were playing Elvis, after that, I lost it, I cried for days and for weeks I would just suddenly cry. It hurt so bad, he has been the only performer that has ever affected me that way.
He is missed. I wasn’t born when he crossed over and I never met him but I love him. He’s always been a part of my life. He’s in heaven now. Maybe I’ll see him there one day with a bit of luck. ♥️🙏
I've lived in MS my whole life and Elvis is untouchable in our hearts. I was in 5th grade when he died, and the principal made an announcement over the intercom. I still remember hearing the cries and reactions of people up and down the halls of the school. Teachers included. Our hearts were irreparably broken. 😢💜💚💛✌️
I remember when he passed. My mom kept the real dark for two days and cried and cried. We watched all the stuff on TV...we lost a great American that day. Rest in Peace Elvis. We still love you!
RIP, Elvis.... Thank you for all of the love and music that you shared with this world. Thanks, Jayy for honoring Elvis today. Take care and be well, hon. Peace.
I love your heart girl and I will always look for your reactions. Elvis Presley and David Phelps I believe are the two best male vocalist ever. Please react to David Phelps. Songs like just as I am. No more night. O Holy Night. Never Walk Alone. Mio Bambino Caro. Nessun Dorma. He does a song now at the age of 51 play Whitney Houston I Have Nothing. Bless yourself with this man she is exquisite.. because I know you had the heart you are really going to be blessed by this man
I remember when he died, and my friends and I all screamed and cried. I cried too watching this and yes he was very loved. Thank you for appreciating him, it makes us old Elvis fans happy that his legacy lives on. He was truly one of a kind.
I will not forget that day! I was 15 years old. I cried like I lost my best friend. I was a very shy kid and stayed to myself. When I was home I listened to his music. God loaned us an angel but he took him back home.
Still cry all these yrs later being reminded of his death ☹ It was almost unreal when he passed...such a wonderful soul RIP Elvis ur still loved & remembered 💞
I would love to see you do a reaction to the James Brown tribute to Elvis Presley they say James Brown stayed by Elvis casket for hours and didn't leave the room from the time he arrived till he left a very sad day Elvis Presley has always been my favorite my older brother was killed in May 1977 and my world felt like it ended and then just 3 months later Losing Elvis the pain was too much I didn't know Elvis personally but it felt like I lost another family member it was a very sad year,I love Your reactions God Bless You May The Lord Keep You Safe And Well
Elvis was originally buried at the cemetery next to his mother but when a famous actor’s body was stolen and was held for ransom around the same time, Elvis’ family became worried and had his body reburied at Graceland. So be prepared when you visit. I didn’t realize he was buried there when I did the tour. I was already crying my eyes out but then seeing his grave on top of everything else . . . was really tough.
The song was done around '69...it wasn't personally about him. It was about someone who always wanted to be famous, found fame & died in a car crash. Finally coming back home ironically finding hometown fame through death. As for Elvis, he was so humble he never REALLY understood the impact he had on the world....he'd always say 'I don't get what they see in me.' THE GOAT - ELVIS. RIP 43 yrs later. PEACE!
Thank you so much for carrying on the Elvis tradition.He was a heart of gold he loved everyone.A Legend forever.I cried for days.Elvis truly believed that when he died the World would forget him.Gone but never Forgotten.
That got me good! Cried for the sweet, kind, loving Elvis! He loved all people but especially the poor, which he was brought up hungry and dirt poor. He served our country, served the Lord, and made many feel the gods spirit when he sang! 💞🙏✌
I love your reaction you said a lot of people cried when he died. But he changed so many people's life. Be brought more happiness and love to the world he left the world a better place . I feel he never left us because he will always be in our hearts a permanent mark
That’s actually true!! The most flowers ever sold was the day Elvis died and many states ran out so many ppl were buying them to send to Elvis. Ppl had to try to buy out of state. Crazy. The love he had! RIP Elvis!
there's a lot of people out there that still crying about Elvis death. It's still very hard to comprehend even nowadays. His impact last forever. I dont think there is an artist, entertainer, political person that have had such huge influence on so many people lives. Its overwhelming.
Beautiful reaction. That was just the people who could get there. If they could have i believe half the world would have lined those streets. We were all there in our 💕
I was there. I was 15 and sitting in math class. When they announced his death I ran out of school and ran home. And. Listening to. All of his gospel songs. And I cried. For months. For Xmas that year my. Sweet sister. Gave. Me. A book. Of Elvis. Called the king. I still have it to this day. And a jailhouse rock. T-shirt. I still love him and miss him. He would be so proud of Lisa. And his beautiful bgrand kids. Even tho. He just lost his. Oldest grandson. To subside his grand son looked just like him but So does Lisa. I cried. When I heard. His grand son killed his self. He was only in his 20s. Well. ☮️ ❤️ And stay well. ....later 😁
I was 11 years old when Elvis passed away and I can remember it like it was yesterday. My mother and sister had tickets to his concert he was supposed to come to Hartford Connecticut but then the unbelievable happened we lost him. I never saw so many people crying at once while watching the news of his death. We miss you Elvis.
Elvis had a LOT of cars in his funeral persession. Elvis had (and it's still the case today) the second longest funeral persession in U.S. history. The first being JFK
Forever in our hearts♥️ after all those years it still hurts like hell. We will never forget him. Put on earth to rock and roll, Elvis the king is in my soul
Elvis was the best artist of all time, he was blessed by God with a wonderful voice. There won't be a better singer. Elvis was and remains unique. It's a shame that he didn't have any good friends. Good friends warned him about excessive drug use and protected him. It's always sad to see how he ruined his life. Yes, good friends would have protected him. The king of music is dead, but through his music he lives on and gives us beautiful moments.
In 2005 I get to visit graceland, man if you are a die hearted Elvis fan you can literally hear his voice through the wind very lovely place I would definitely go there again and again hopefully I will before God call me home love you Mr Presley.
Thank you for your heart felt reactions. I was only 11 when Elvis died and remember being heartbroken. I was fortunate to see him in concert June 2,1977 only a few weeks before he died. It was so exciting and I'll never forget it.
Dói meu coração quando vejo estas imagem , amado Elvis porque você foi embora sofro até hoje , mas sei que Deus está cuidando de você , te amarei pra sempre
This is killing me. I remember watching this. Live that day. I was 16 when Elvis died. I think this song was for his mom and some one put his funeral. To it. SMH. Sweet. Heart you watching the teal funral. I'm bawling. Right now
It's still to much for me to take after 43yrs ago I was in bits I was 24yrs old at the time I'm 67yrs old and I still cry everyday when he past my son was 3 weeks old and he was rushed into hospital the same day for an emergency operation he was in hospital for a week he pulled through thank god he's 43 now and he's a big Elvis fan just like me I tell you Jayy it was the worst week of my life so I hate it when that day comes around it's a week of my life I wish to forget 💖great reaction love from Denise in England 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧💖😘👼🏻XX
His very close buddy the Godfather of soul James Brown attended the funeral stood by his casket for hours crying. They used to play piano and sing gospel music together. Checkout Elvis: THE ECHO WILL NEVER DIE; he was very close also to Glen Campbell, Tom Jones, Muhammad Ali, Sammy Davis jr, Fats Domino, Barbara McNair, Carl Perkins, Jackie Wilson, Darlene Love, BB King, Whitney Houstons mom, Cissy, JD Sumner, Ann Margaret, Shelley Fabares plus Many more.
@JD Ronin that was unnecessary, you dont have to be disrespectful to other peoples comments. . James Brown and Elvis met in 1966 when the two of them went to a nightclub performance of Jackie Wilson and were introduced to each other by George Klein. Over the years James Brown got to spend time at Graceland so your wrong when you say the last time was 1966. He did spend 3 hours with the casket and attended his funeral. Check your facts before having a go at someone who said nothing that wasn't true .
@JD Ronin obviously every person has their own opinion on whether or not they were as close friends as reported by some but james brown in a recorded interview stated that he and elvis were very close friends and that they did sing gospel songs together, he even released a cover version of love me tender dedicated to elvis after he passed away, me personally i rather tend to believe what james brown said himself.
BB. King. And Sammy Davis Jr. Frank sanatra and Nancy franks daughter who Elvis dated. Once. And. Little Richard too. Who didn't have anything nice to say about him. Bc he. Covered tootie fruity. He said so. On. That Elvis and the black. Cominty video. I don't understand why. All these. Black. Guys. And gal's. Are. Liking Elvis now. Just bc they thought. He was racist? I have to ask. Who told these guys. He was? Cece Houston was his. Back up. Singer. The one with the long hair. And. Whitney got to meet Elvis and. Her mom. Did all the back up on all his gospel songs. My point is. This if he was. He wouldn't have had any black singers. Or the man. Who plays the picalo in the video. American trilogy. Elvis. Was a GOAT. No one. Has yet to touch his. Voice. Whenever they sing. And he was. Born. Beautiful. And falwless. I hate that his twin brother died. I would have loved to see them. Act together. Elvis. Was a blonde like his dad. And started. Dyeing his hair. In his teens. Did you know that? You can look it up. If you don't believe me. Elvis. Never hated anyone. And he was a giver. I loved it when he bought bmiss marry a brand new home in. 1975 I think it was. She was. The only one who knew how to cook. The food he grew up on. He bought her a car and told her. To pic any car she wonted. A brand new. Cadillac. And. He bought. And gave to. Thousands of ppl and fans but I was. Standing in. A pile of ppl. And the next thing I knew I woke up in a ambulance. It was the hardest thing I'd been through. At that time.
This is just stock news footage from 1977 that was used as a backdrop to the song Elvis recorded in 1969 by whoever put this together. There is no association between the two other than it's Elvis's funeral news footage and the 1969 song about a funeral. By the way, I recommend that everyone listen to this entire album because it;s great...It's "Elvis in Memphis" and he was on fire during this recording. I think it's because he was liberated from the movie contracts in 1968 and this was after the comeback Special. He made music that had nothing to do with a movie and I think he felt artistically free for the first time since the Sun Studio days. Listen to "the power of my love" and "I'll hold you in my heart"...wow..killer tracks and vocals..pure power...To the beautiful young lady here, I watch a lot of your videos and I finally subscribed. sorry for the delay..lol...keep doing these Elvis video's..there are MANY to do..
I was 5 years old when this happened and I remember I was playing hopscotch when I heard it come on the radio and I ran indoors in absolute tears and I was devastated....it was my first ever experience of loss...I remember being really small probably from about 2 years old and not moving from the sofa when he or his films or concerts were on tv....its something I've always remembered and I've been his fan lifelong...I will never forget x
Baby !! I rember the the day he died! I watched my grown big man Grandaddy sit at the dining room table and cry 😢 😭. The only time in my life he ever cried other than when my great granny (his momma) pqssed . my whole dang family was in tears.
Me too. I got into my car to go somewhere ( I don't remember where), & I heard it on the radio. There was not any music played that day, only talk about Elvis. & of course on TV as well. Needless to mention everyone was just devastated to hear about Elvis Presley's death. Nobody wanted to believe it was true! I was 25 years old at the time. I'm 69 now.
You're question on if Elvis knew the impact he had more than likely cannot be answered or at least I don't remember coming across the answer. However, he did wonder how and if he would be remembered. So heartfelt every time I watch one of your reactions.
People don't realize he was only 42yrs old when he died. Only the good die young. He never forgot his humble beginnings and always gave time, money and gifts to the less fortunate people.
I remember it well. I was 17 years old. The world went into shock that day. It was a horrible day. I remember I was home in my bedroom watching TV when they broke in with the special bulletin. Just myself and my mom were home and she was upstairs taking a nap and I ran upstairs to and woke her up to tell her. For the next several weeks the world was in mourning. And then the Elvis sightings began. Seriously. For at least a few of years there were all kinds of supposed Elvis sightings were people's swore they saw Elvis. I remember the 1st one was somebody saw him in a Burger King somewhere in Michigan. And they went on like that for years and there was actually a special a TV special on several years later (hosted by Bill Bixby and I don't know if you know who that is but he was pretty popular in his day) about the whole Elvis being alive thing. It it was just so weird. That's why if you've ever heard anybody make mention of that in passing and you don't know what they're talking about that's what they're talking about because it was a really big deal for a long time! I really wish I could get you to do Elvis .. "And I love you so"... For those of you who are not yet born when all this took place I have included a link for the special that I mentioned ua-cam.com/video/V7g4n5qohpc/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/m410DrlOSQA/v-deo.html Remember Elvis died in 1977 and the special aired in 1992 I believe. Look how long this rumor was going on!
Honey you’re a tender hearted sweetheart of a young lady. I was 16 whenever he passed. I was inconsolable for day’s. It’s as if a family member passed away.
Beautiful song so touching to watch his funeral such a loss to the world when Elvis passed I was 14 I come from England but it was big news here also what I remember the most was all over the papers and news it said the King is dead I was shocked made me cry but Elvis is forever the Goat thank you stay safe 😷💖
Kathy, I was 30 with 2 young children, I remember putting the wireless on as usual and they were playing an Elvis record, then another etc and then the news, I couldn't believe it, I went upstairs to my husband, he did shift work and told him... Such a tragedy ❤ I remember it was front page news for days..
I was 7 years old when he passed away. I remember watching this & crying so, so much. We didn’t have much money but my daddy went out & bought me that famous door length poster. He hung it on my bedroom door. I cried off & on for weeks after that. Heartbreaking....
He told friends and family "don't wear black to my funeral." This was much closer to the end. He wanted to go out like he came in: flashy. It was his final performance. His dad found a beautiful white suit he'd bought recently for his son. Odd, Elvis wasn't much for traditional suits. It was a white suit, not gray flannel. It was what he would have wanted. And then his dad got a bunch of white Caddys for the funeral ride. It's now a kind of Memphis tradition; gang funerals and suchlike - they always have a line of rented white Caddys. He was the OG, though, of flash and danger. He changed the world. He shook it up.
Guys to address this I knew Elvis sung the song before he died I just worded it wrong which happens to people all the time! What I meant at 1:59 is that I didn’t know if he sung the song right before he died (as in close to his death) or way before thats all I was trying to say.
Yeah, but it was hilarious anyway. :)
It’s ok honey. Bless your heart! God Bless you 🤗💕
Last song elvis sung before he died was blue eyes crying in the rain, at his home in graceland on his piano
It was cute. I knew what you meant.
Bless you love we all knew what you meant but i did have a huge smile when you said it lots of love yo you and stay safe
So nice to see young folk like yourself to be touched by Elvis, He sure was a great man, not only by his music but his kind personalty, towards the less fortunate, he never forgot where he came from growing up poor, I just loved the man really, I was 18 in 1977 & will never forget Aug 16th 1977, will never forget the shock when a news flash came on tv The King of Rock & Roll is dead, a very sad day for the world really, a few yrs later I was watching a program about Elvis & it showed a news clip from around the world saying the King was dead, China, Russia, Holland, Japan, plus few other countries, of course I could not understand the language except for the world Elvis, But funny Elvis never performed outside N America & yet the man was loved worldwide, so it shows the great voice he had, After his death his Dad said it best when he said, God gave Elvis a gift & he gladly shared it with the world,
I like the way you love Elvis I love him too he is the king and always will be, I was 8 months old when he passed, if you didn't watch his (Aloha from Hawaii) concert go ahead and watch it it's on youtube you gonna love it, there's a countless of Elvis videos I can tell you about but I'm just gonna mention few like the song ( young dreams) from King Creole 1958, also (the next step is love)song,( something in the way) from Aloha from Hawaii 1973, and check out his Gospel music songs like( Milky white way)and more.

I was 6 when Elvis passed. There will never be another Elvis Presley. We love & miss you so much.
For us who grew up with Elvis R SOO! SOOO !! GRATEFUL for U all's reactions
People still can't accept the fact that the LEGEND (King Elvis) is gone 😢...🤔Actually; he's NOT, his music will forever live on 💯👍👏
Miss you EP. I remember the day he died like it was yesterday... I remember every detail of that day. Very sad. I cried a lot. From South Africa 🇿🇦
Elvis is the only celebrity I cried over his death. We loved not just because he was a great artist, but also a great humanitarian
Elvis the King forever Hans from Germany Elvis the greatest recording Artist of all Time
He was the greatest they'll never be another one not with his heart his compassion his love for his fellow man that will never be another Elvis Presley when God made him he simply made the best that is a funeral. I hate as much as anything along with losing my mother and my uncles and my grandparents he was part of my family that's the way I saw him he was a stranger somebody I didn't know he was somebody I loved somebody I lost and I still morning to this day
Elvis was afraid people would forget him....not a chance! And people like you are a big part of that. So thank you!
I aree and the 'new' fans will take his legacy through to the next generation.
Nobody is ever going to forget Elvis. 💕
That was a wax elvis
Yes. Elvis asked this to Joe. Do you believe that the people’s will remember me? When the King Elvis can knows that we cannot forget him. Elvis has make and rock the whole wide world. God bless the king in heaven.
Still 😢 To Watch This, Rip To The King Of Rock n Roll Elvis Presley, We Still Miss You Always
You've formed an attachment as millions of us have, we feel his pain, thats why we have a job watching this and his last concert.
The change of those last few years are unbelievable.
He was such a beautiful man inside and out, his fame and dealing with it killed him.
RIP Mr Presley you'll always be the greatest of all time ❤
I grew up with him i loved him so much the best looking man i ever seen....i live him to this day ill never forget that beautiful man inside and out
I'm glad they chose a white hearse instead of a black one. It gave the feeling of hope. Elvis is with the Lord he sang about so often in gospel songs.
Yes he is with the Lord. I'm looking forward to meeting him and Jesus in heaven when I get there. 👍🇿🇦
You can't believe the number of people who came to Memphis when they heard the news. THEY CAME FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.

I remember Aug 16 1977 very well. I was only 4 but already loved him. And i heard news and sit down and cried my eyes out. My parents had just saw him 4 months before that, and i wanted to go. It still breaks my heart.
Name Billy Lambert in Australia 🇦🇺 big fan of Elvis Presley king of the rock’n’roll very good actor and singer very good looking Elvis Presley me I like Elvis Presley at 2 year old Elvis Presley 6:2 tall Elvis mother side family full blood Cherokee Indian USA 🇺🇸

Very emotional video. Thanku. Did you know that there were more flowers sold in the USA on the day of Elvis’s funeral than ever before or since. Greetings from the Uk 🇬🇧❤️
Still cry over Elvis 😢 💔..such a sad day when he left us...you will never be forgotten Elvis ❤❤❤..best singer ever in my book !!
When Elvis died only a few select people were allowed into his home where are they had his body laying in a viewing room. Singer James Brown was one of the few allowed into the home as people were coming and going James Brown stayed there for 6 hours crying and refusing to leave Elvis's side. James Brown and Priscilla would come out occasionally for a few minutes and then go back in the room with Elvis and cry and cry.
He's been gone longer than he was alive. So many people loved him and still do to this day.
On March 24th 2020 Elvis had been dead as many years months and days has he lived from the day he was born until August 16th 1977
I can't believe I'm older than Elvis when he died. At least I can say I shared the earth for a few months with him before he passed. Same with John Lennon, four years older than him
You are a very passionate lady. Thank you for sharing your love of Elvis.
Elvis thought he wouldn’t be remembered. He’d cry like a baby if he knew how loved he was. And still is!
Amen! Truth!
I like to think that his spirit DOES know!
Elvis died in August of 1977. I was born in January of 1978. I only missed him by 6 months. Both of my parents remember the day he died. I have listened to his music and watched his movies all of my life. I also have approximately 50 vinyl LP albums of Elvis, some of which are original pressings. He sounds so much better on vinyl. I love your Elvis reactions and your appreciation for not only his music, but for the man that he was.
It still hurts and still makes me cry seeing the funeral, it was televised on all networks. I was 16 when it happened, I was in shock for the longest time after they interrupted television programming to announce that he was gone. I remember just sitting there starring at the tv I couldn't move and was numb, no tears would even flow. Finally, I got up and went to my room, turned on the radio and all the stations were playing Elvis, after that, I lost it, I cried for days and for weeks I would just suddenly cry. It hurt so bad, he has been the only performer that has ever affected me that way.
Makes me sad watching with a few tears
I was also 16. Came home from my girlfriend house and my mom was crying watching the news. I watch and listen to the king everyday.
He is missed. I wasn’t born when he crossed over and I never met him but I love him. He’s always been a part of my life. He’s in heaven now. Maybe I’ll see him there one day with a bit of luck. ♥️🙏
I've lived in MS my whole life and Elvis is untouchable in our hearts. I was in 5th grade when he died, and the principal made an announcement over the intercom. I still remember hearing the cries and reactions of people up and down the halls of the school. Teachers included. Our hearts were irreparably broken. 😢💜💚💛✌️
I remember when he passed. My mom kept the real dark for two days and cried and cried. We watched all the stuff on TV...we lost a great American that day. Rest in Peace Elvis. We still love you!
Jay, he was always asking those around him if they thought he would be soon forgotten hen he died. Not ever will I forget
RIP, Elvis.... Thank you for all of the love and music that you shared with this world. Thanks, Jayy for honoring Elvis today. Take care and be well, hon. Peace.
I love your heart girl and I will always look for your reactions. Elvis Presley and David Phelps I believe are the two best male vocalist ever. Please react to David Phelps. Songs like just as I am. No more night. O Holy Night. Never Walk Alone. Mio Bambino Caro. Nessun Dorma. He does a song now at the age of 51 play Whitney Houston I Have Nothing. Bless yourself with this man she is exquisite.. because I know you had the heart you are really going to be blessed by this man
Bless you dear, love your work.
My very first Elvis song that got me hooked 57 years ago......Thanks Elvis
We lost him way too soon; I was crying watching despite knowing it was 44 years ago
I remember when he died, and my friends and I all screamed and cried. I cried too watching this and yes he was very loved. Thank you for appreciating him, it makes us old Elvis fans happy that his legacy lives on. He was truly one of a kind.
I will not forget that day! I was 15 years old. I cried like I lost my best friend. I was a very shy kid and stayed to myself. When I was home I listened to his music. God loaned us an angel but he took him back home.
Still cry all these yrs later being reminded of his death ☹ It was almost unreal when he passed...such a wonderful soul RIP Elvis ur still loved & remembered 💞
I would love to see you do a reaction to the James Brown tribute to Elvis Presley they say James Brown stayed by Elvis casket for hours and didn't leave the room from the time he arrived till he left a very sad day Elvis Presley has always been my favorite my older brother was killed in May 1977 and my world felt like it ended and then just 3 months later Losing Elvis the pain was too much I didn't know Elvis personally but it felt like I lost another family member it was a very sad year,I love Your reactions God Bless You May The Lord Keep You Safe And Well
Elvis was originally buried at the cemetery next to his mother but when a famous actor’s body was stolen and was held for ransom around the same time, Elvis’ family became worried and had his body reburied at Graceland. So be prepared when you visit. I didn’t realize he was buried there when I did the tour. I was already crying my eyes out but then seeing his grave on top of everything else . . . was really tough.
The song was done around '69...it wasn't personally about him. It was about someone who always wanted to be famous, found fame & died in a car crash. Finally coming back home ironically finding hometown fame through death. As for Elvis, he was so humble he never REALLY understood the impact he had on the world....he'd always say 'I don't get what they see in me.' THE GOAT - ELVIS. RIP 43 yrs later. PEACE!
Elvis loved the black community and they loved him. As he'd say, everyone is my brother and sister.
Thank you so much for carrying on the Elvis tradition.He was a heart of gold he loved everyone.A Legend forever.I cried for days.Elvis truly believed that when he died the World would forget him.Gone but never Forgotten.
That got me good! Cried for the sweet, kind, loving Elvis! He loved all people but especially the poor, which he was brought up hungry and dirt poor. He served our country, served the Lord, and made many feel the gods spirit when he sang! 💞🙏✌
I love your reaction you said a lot of people cried when he died. But he changed so many people's life. Be brought more happiness and love to the world he left the world a better place . I feel he never left us because he will always be in our hearts a permanent mark
Still hurts the heats of millions. The most flowers ever sold in the U.S. was the day after Elvis died
That’s actually true!! The most flowers ever sold was the day Elvis died and many states ran out so many ppl were buying them to send to Elvis. Ppl had to try to buy out of state. Crazy. The love he had! RIP Elvis!
Elvis' death was the only news for a few days.
@@user-zh6mh2zk4h maybe to YOU😤😤
@@Gunnar.J that's wild!
there's a lot of people out there that still crying about Elvis death. It's still very hard to comprehend even nowadays. His impact last forever. I dont think there is an artist, entertainer, political person that have had such huge influence on so many people lives. Its overwhelming.
Beautiful reaction. That was just the people who could get there. If they could have i believe half the world would have lined those streets. We were all there in our 💕
I know I would....
I was there. I was 15 and sitting in math class. When they announced his death I ran out of school and ran home. And. Listening to. All of his gospel songs. And I cried. For months. For Xmas that year my. Sweet sister. Gave. Me. A book. Of Elvis. Called the king. I still have it to this day. And a jailhouse rock. T-shirt. I still love him and miss him. He would be so proud of Lisa. And his beautiful bgrand kids. Even tho. He just lost his. Oldest grandson. To subside his grand son looked just like him but So does Lisa. I cried. When I heard. His grand son killed his self. He was only in his 20s. Well. ☮️ ❤️ And stay well. ....later 😁
I was 11 years old when Elvis passed away and I can remember it like it was yesterday. My mother and sister had tickets to his concert he was supposed to come to Hartford Connecticut but then the unbelievable happened we lost him. I never saw so many people crying at once while watching the news of his death. We miss you Elvis.
Thankyou for sharing your talent with us Elvis and God bless you always 🙏
Elvis touched people's hearts.
Elvis knew his destiny and excepted it. My mother and our next neighbor was balling and freaking out.
Elvis was bigger than life itself. He was incredibly special and with your help in showing these videos then he won't be forgotten
Agreed. He will never be forgotten. He is loved all over the world. Miss you EP. From South Africa 😥🇿🇦
I am from Memphis and Elvis was always IT best part of youth was going to Elvis house to see Christmas Lights He will always live at Graceland💔
@Josh Morgan great memories
Elvis had a LOT of cars in his funeral persession. Elvis had (and it's still the case today) the second longest funeral persession in U.S. history. The first being JFK
Thanks for that info. I of course did know that his funeral procession was very long but I didn't know it was the second longest in history!
The day Elvis died left me forlorn. I just didn't know how to feel. I was numb. I was 15 & I cried like a baby. For days. Peace to you beautiful lady.
Forever in our hearts♥️ after all those years it still hurts like hell. We will never forget him. Put on earth to rock and roll, Elvis the king is in my soul
Very good song. Emotions.But Elvis is still alive!!!
One could only ever dream of the kind of send-off Elvis received. Bless him.
Elvis was the best artist of all time, he was blessed by God with a wonderful voice. There won't be a better singer. Elvis was and remains unique. It's a shame that he didn't have any good friends. Good friends warned him about excessive drug use and protected him. It's always sad to see how he ruined his life. Yes, good friends would have protected him. The king of music is dead, but through his music he lives on and gives us beautiful moments.
In 2005 I get to visit graceland, man if you are a die hearted Elvis fan you can literally hear his voice through the wind very lovely place I would definitely go there again and again hopefully I will before God call me home love you Mr Presley.
Thank you for your heart felt reactions. I was only 11 when Elvis died and remember being heartbroken. I was fortunate to see him in concert June 2,1977 only a few weeks before he died. It was so exciting and I'll never forget it.
Dói meu coração quando vejo estas imagem , amado Elvis porque você foi embora sofro até hoje , mas sei que Deus está cuidando de você , te amarei pra sempre
There are no words to describe how incredible this man's voice was.💕
This is killing me. I remember watching this. Live that day. I was 16 when Elvis died. I think this song was for his mom and some one put his funeral. To it. SMH. Sweet. Heart you watching the teal funral. I'm bawling. Right now
It's still to much for me to take after 43yrs ago I was in bits I was 24yrs old at the time I'm 67yrs old and I still cry everyday when he past my son was 3 weeks old and he was rushed into hospital the same day for an emergency operation he was in hospital for a week he pulled through thank god he's 43 now and he's a big Elvis fan just like me I tell you Jayy it was the worst week of my life so I hate it when that day comes around it's a week of my life I wish to forget 💖great reaction love from Denise in England 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧💖😘👼🏻XX
Oh the tears still come! 😢 He was loved by so many!!! Still is. ❤️
His very close buddy the Godfather of soul James Brown attended the funeral stood by his casket for hours crying. They used to play piano and sing gospel music together. Checkout Elvis: THE ECHO WILL NEVER DIE; he was very close also to Glen Campbell, Tom Jones, Muhammad Ali, Sammy Davis jr, Fats Domino, Barbara McNair, Carl Perkins, Jackie Wilson, Darlene Love, BB King, Whitney Houstons mom, Cissy, JD Sumner, Ann Margaret, Shelley Fabares plus Many more.
Graceland people had to pull JB away from Elvis' casket. Humanity.
@JD Ronin that was unnecessary, you dont have to be disrespectful to other peoples comments. . James Brown and Elvis met in 1966 when the two of them went to a nightclub performance of Jackie Wilson and were introduced to each other by George Klein. Over the years James Brown got to spend time at Graceland so your wrong when you say the last time was 1966. He did spend 3 hours with the casket and attended his funeral. Check your facts before having a go at someone who said nothing that wasn't true .
@JD Ronin obviously every person has their own opinion on whether or not they were as close friends as reported by some but james brown in a recorded interview stated that he and elvis were very close friends and that they did sing gospel songs together, he even released a cover version of love me tender dedicated to elvis after he passed away, me personally i rather tend to believe what james brown said himself.
BB. King. And Sammy Davis Jr. Frank sanatra and Nancy franks daughter who Elvis dated. Once. And. Little Richard too. Who didn't have anything nice to say about him. Bc he. Covered tootie fruity. He said so. On. That Elvis and the black. Cominty video. I don't understand why. All these. Black. Guys. And gal's. Are. Liking Elvis now. Just bc they thought. He was racist? I have to ask. Who told these guys. He was? Cece Houston was his. Back up. Singer. The one with the long hair. And. Whitney got to meet Elvis and. Her mom. Did all the back up on all his gospel songs. My point is. This if he was. He wouldn't have had any black singers. Or the man. Who plays the picalo in the video. American trilogy. Elvis. Was a GOAT. No one. Has yet to touch his. Voice. Whenever they sing. And he was. Born. Beautiful. And falwless. I hate that his twin brother died. I would have loved to see them. Act together. Elvis. Was a blonde like his dad. And started. Dyeing his hair. In his teens. Did you know that? You can look it up. If you don't believe me. Elvis. Never hated anyone. And he was a giver. I loved it when he bought bmiss marry a brand new home in. 1975 I think it was. She was. The only one who knew how to cook. The food he grew up on. He bought her a car and told her. To pic any car she wonted. A brand new. Cadillac. And. He bought. And gave to. Thousands of ppl and fans but I was. Standing in. A pile of ppl. And the next thing I knew I woke up in a ambulance. It was the hardest thing I'd been through. At that time.
The whole world's heart broke the day we lost Elvis. 💔💔💔💔💔💔
This is just stock news footage from 1977 that was used as a backdrop to the song Elvis recorded in 1969 by whoever put this together. There is no association between the two other than it's Elvis's funeral news footage and the 1969 song about a funeral. By the way, I recommend that everyone listen to this entire album because it;s great...It's "Elvis in Memphis" and he was on fire during this recording. I think it's because he was liberated from the movie contracts in 1968 and this was after the comeback Special. He made music that had nothing to do with a movie and I think he felt artistically free for the first time since the Sun Studio days. Listen to "the power of my love" and "I'll hold you in my heart"...wow..killer tracks and vocals..pure power...To the beautiful young lady here, I watch a lot of your videos and I finally subscribed. sorry for the delay..lol...keep doing these Elvis video's..there are MANY to do..
We Miss you Elvis. Greetings to you Lady.
Elvis was a Gift
I was 5 years old when this happened and I remember I was playing hopscotch when I heard it come on the radio and I ran indoors in absolute tears and I was devastated....it was my first ever experience of loss...I remember being really small probably from about 2 years old and not moving from the sofa when he or his films or concerts were on tv....its something I've always remembered and I've been his fan lifelong...I will never forget x
I remember where i was when i heard the news. It was on the radio, I was in shock. I was only 11 yrs old but i loved his music.
Baby !! I rember the the day he died! I watched my grown big man Grandaddy sit at the dining room table and cry 😢 😭. The only time in my life he ever cried other than when my great granny (his momma) pqssed . my whole dang family was in tears.
I'm 58 and seen all this as it happened. I know exactly where I was at when I was told the new of his passing. I still play Elvis songs everyday.
Me too. I got into my car to go somewhere ( I don't remember where), & I heard it on the radio. There was not any music played that day, only talk about Elvis.
& of course on TV as well. Needless to mention everyone was just devastated to hear about Elvis Presley's death. Nobody wanted to believe it was true!
I was 25 years old at the time. I'm 69 now.
Elvis lives forever ❤🙏❤
That woman trying to run jump on the car crying gets me everytime.
You're question on if Elvis knew the impact he had more than likely cannot be answered or at least I don't remember coming across the answer. However, he did wonder how and if he would be remembered.
So heartfelt every time I watch one of your reactions.
Thanks for loving Elvis Jayy...You're the best !!!
Elvis Elvis Elvis 💕😍.
King from another planet 👑🕺
People don't realize he was only 42yrs old when he died. Only the good die young. He never forgot his humble beginnings and always gave time, money and gifts to the less fortunate people.
It hard to watch his funeral again it is sad but Elvis will never be forgotten
Really miss Elvis. He had a big heart!! Elvis was the best!!
I remember it well. I was 17 years old. The world went into shock that day. It was a horrible day. I remember I was home in my bedroom watching TV when they broke in with the special bulletin. Just myself and my mom were home and she was upstairs taking a nap and I ran upstairs to and woke her up to tell her. For the next several weeks the world was in mourning. And then the Elvis sightings began. Seriously. For at least a few of years there were all kinds of supposed Elvis sightings were people's swore they saw Elvis. I remember the 1st one was somebody saw him in a Burger King somewhere in Michigan. And they went on like that for years and there was actually a special a TV special on several years later (hosted by Bill Bixby and I don't know if you know who that is but he was pretty popular in his day) about the whole Elvis being alive thing. It it was just so weird. That's why if you've ever heard anybody make mention of that in passing and you don't know what they're talking about that's what they're talking about because it was a really big deal for a long time!
I really wish I could get you to do Elvis .. "And I love you so"...
For those of you who are not yet born when all this took place I have included a link for the special that I mentioned

Remember Elvis died in 1977 and the special aired in 1992 I believe. Look how long this rumor was going on!
I remember this day like it was yesterday
I was only 6 when he died. I cried for days. My heart still breaks every time I see this. 💔
Honey you’re a tender hearted sweetheart of a young lady. I was 16 whenever he passed. I was inconsolable for day’s. It’s as if a family member passed away.
I remember this. And his voice in this song shows his bluesy southern history. People covered the city up to say goodbye to him.
Beautiful song so touching to watch his funeral such a loss to the world when Elvis passed I was 14 I come from England but it was big news here also what I remember the most was all over the papers and news it said the King is dead I was shocked made me cry but Elvis is forever the Goat thank you stay safe 😷💖
Kathy, I was 30 with 2 young children, I remember putting the wireless on as usual and they were playing an Elvis record, then another etc and then the news, I couldn't believe it, I went upstairs to my husband, he did shift work and told him...
Such a tragedy ❤
I remember it was front page news for days..
I was 7 years old when he passed away. I remember watching this & crying so, so much. We didn’t have much money but my daddy went out & bought me that famous door length poster. He hung it on my bedroom door. I cried off & on for weeks after that. Heartbreaking....
I was 8, myself.
His funeral was like a state funeral for a president. It was crazy and massive. They even sold food and beverages outside to the thousands attending.
Emotional is ok.
He told friends and family "don't wear black to my funeral." This was much closer to the end. He wanted to go out like he came in: flashy. It was his final performance.
His dad found a beautiful white suit he'd bought recently for his son. Odd, Elvis wasn't much for traditional suits. It was a white suit, not gray flannel. It was what he would have wanted. And then his dad got a bunch of white Caddys for the funeral ride. It's now a kind of Memphis tradition; gang funerals and suchlike - they always have a line of rented white Caddys. He was the OG, though, of flash and danger. He changed the world. He shook it up.
