Besides his musical and cultural significance, his amazing voice, charisma and looks Elvis was most of all authentic. Which means he is not in any way imitating. He was the starting point, the benchmark for all that came after him. The guy who had the guts to be totally different. And that is why he is the King.
He is called " THE KING" for a very simple reason: HE IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!! "Suspensions Minds" is My Very Favorite Song that he ever performed.
I love the way he walking towards the pretty backup singer... looking like a panther in the jungle! Beautiful, just beautiful. 🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹
Elvis was a personal friend i have lived in Memphis since the early 70's i met him when i was 17 yrs old. I won a radio show contest the prize was a day with Elvis. I saw him before he passed we had a short talk i was crying he gave me a kiss on the cheek and said i love ya kiddo i said i love you too E. That was the last time i saw my friend alive again. I walk past Graceland everyday without fail. i live on EP Blvd. much love from Memphis Tn. Elvis was a genuine sweet man and i will never forget my friend. All the memories of my friend are tucked safe in my heart forever
I always loved the way he cared so much for all his band & back up singers & looked after them... He was more than just an entertainer. He had such a good heart....
It’s well known that prior to a performance he had stage fright. BUT when he walked out on stage and began making contact with his audience the stage fright evaporated because he loved them and they loved him. EP was in command of any stage he was performing on. He had his voice, he moved like a cat, he was in communication throughout his performance with his band and backup singers. And the audience…there was a relationship with them: he knew it and they knew it. He was one of a kind.
Elvis sang and the women of the world went wild!! Beauty and talent in one guy. They would only film him from the waist up when he first started, thought he would corrupt the young with his hips!!
Elvis had style, talent, looks, humbleness and originality. He was touched by God with a unique and influential spirit. I love Elvis and so did most Blacks back in the day. Don't believe the b.s. about him. He was a kind and cool man.
I was in 4th grade when heard on radio he had died. even as a little girl I was sad. he was only 42. Think about it. no one in those days we'll, Elvis started it, jivin his hips lol. he was loved ♥️
To me, Elvis was an actor who sang. Just happened that way. I grew up watching Saturday matinees w/ Elvis and grew to love him. It did not hurt that my favorite uncle looked just like him- sideburns and all!! ♥
I’ve loved Elvis all my life! He died the year I was born, but both my parents (Mum especially, for obvious reasons!) were big fans so I grew up listening to him. I even used to take Mum’s records, a greatest hits in particular, while she wasn’t looking, and play them over and over! Mum passed away in 2019, but I like to think she’s met him in the afterlife… probably fangirling and making him laugh!
Poor old Elvis. This song was written by Francis Zambon a "white guy" Elvis was a little white kid who was scouted by some record producers. Fact!!! Elvis was groomed by a whole lotsa people to get the white girls out of the black clubs. Fact!!! Because "white america" didn't like their white little virgin brides going to these places. Fact!!! Elvis never wrote a song. Fact!!! The way Elvis was shaking himself all over the stage was not something he invented. Fact!!! This kind of movement on stage was going on in the black clubs for years. Fact!!! Just another way America didn't want blacks to be an influence on "white america". Fact!!! Now I am not saying that "Elvis" wasn't a good entertainer. What I am saying is he was groomed by "white america" to be your white modern day idol. Fact!!!
I met Elvis when I was 5 years old. I've been on his personal airplane " LISA MARIE" the same day. He came to my city for a concert and he did a meet n greet of sorts on the tarmac at the airport. The public were allowed to walk out to the plane. It was a beautiful memory. 🌹❤️👍

His concert footage shows his personality but his official releases show his perfection. Many Mahalos for letting an old lady relive seeing this for the first time
Great reaction! I'm 67 and have enjoyed listening to The King for years. One thing I'd like to comment on is that you can tell by the smile on his face that he's enjoying himself and that he doesn't take himself seriously. It's just fun! Best regards, Steve
Elvis had a great sense of humor and it showed onstage. Sometimes when performing this song, when he got down in that crouching position, he would change the words "because I love you too much baby" to "I hope this suit don't tear up baby". He loved all his band members like family, and the onstage banter with them was always fun, like with the backup singer Myrna in this video. And that badass drummer happens to be my cousin Ronnie!
It honestly brings tears to my eyes when I watch all these young folks discovering Elvis. I live in Tennessee and I grew up LOVING him. I remember his Aloha from Hawaii concert was the first concert EVER to be broadcast live via Satellite all over the world. I was a teenager and it's all everyone especially girls talked about for so long before it happened. It was such a HUGE EVENT. I was living with my brother and sister-in-law and I got to watch it in color...also a big deal back then because not many people could afford color tv. When he came on I thought I was going to fall out of my chair. I ended up lying in the floor in front of the tv and I didn't move until it was over. I loved that man so much and still do. I cried until I couldn't cry anymore the day he died and I still can't watch him singing without tears. I'm just so happy to know this beautiful man will live on long after my generation is gone.
Thank you so much, such fun. Bringing me way back. I was 12 sitting with my dad watching tv when the news came on that he died. I’ll never forget that day.
That guy was a total athlete if you really think about the stuff he was doing. And don't forget the fact that those jumpsuits weighed a whole lot and were hot as hell. What I love about this particular performance capture is not only is he looking back at his incredible drummer Ronnie Tutt, and they are egging each other on, he goes over and fucks with one of his backing vocalists. There are actually some behind the scenes floating around on UA-cam where you can see them in practice and also just kind of hanging out and he had a good chemistry with everybody in that band including the Sweet Inspirations which was the name of his black female backing choir. He also had a male choir as well and he would just hang out and they would crack each other up and the one lady that he pranked? Apparently she pranked him sometimes like in practice, though never on stage I don't think. And so he took advantage of the moment and pranks her. And you can just see her laughing her ass off after he startled her, and he just can't help laughing out loud at what he just did. Talk about having fun in front of a whole bunch of people with a huge band just roaring away behind you and you just still have that presence to go mess around a little bit and let the band know, hey man we're in this together up here on this huge stage in front all these people. And then he goes out and fucks with the audience in a lot of these performances, lets them know, hey we're all together here man. Anyway hilarious reaction; glad I found your channel.
And then there’s this piece of magnificence. The man gave his ALL. And blushing? Had I been that lady, with THAT walking toward and looking at me. Yep, I’d have been a puddle on that stage floor. Mop me up.

@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 I agree with all of that. Yeah, Elvis was part of a racist system. From what I heard Elvis himself was cool because he grew up poor, but we would probably still consider him racist by today's standards. He did copy a lot of black artists, but he also had good looks and talent and put his own twist on things. I like Elvis, but I agree he was problematic. In his later years he supported Nixon and had a fetish for law enforcement. He would probably be MAGA today (but maybe not). He was the King for awhile, but now it's Lebron. Best not to put anyone on too high of a pedestal and just admire them for the good things they contribute to the world.
Showmanship, baby! I was fortunate to see him live in the 70s, and it's so good to see another generation react so positively to The King. Blessings to you.

This man was not only physically beautiful, had a voice he could manipulate any way he wished, could dance his backside off , but was a master at controlling his stage and drawing in the audience. As a woman I wish I could go back in time and be the right age to have witnessed this. Thank the powers that be for even the short time we had this phenomenon.
Elvis was scheduled to appear at the astrodome, along with his backup singers(the sweet inspirations) and his entourage. But when they all arrived, Elvis was told by the event organiser that only he and his entourage were aloud to go out on the field, that his backup singers had to stay behind at the hotel. Elvis never being one to back down to racists, told the organiser that if the sweet inspirations weren't aloud to go then neither would he. When the organiser backed down, Elvis insisted that the sweet inspirations have their own Cadillac driven by a blonde girl. "Fighting Racism Elvis demonstrated his desire for racial reconciliation in the musicians he chose, and in the treatment they received. When he made his first appearance in texas at the Astrodome, according to Myrna Smith, Elvis was told, 'Well, you can leave the black girls home. You don't have to bring them'. Myna Smith: Elvis responded with, 'Well if they don't come, I don't come'. But he was really upset about it. There was one person in particular who had sent the message. So when we got there, we were greeted by this little blonde in a convertible and she had to drive us around and she was his daughter. So Elvis always made sure he got even. I'm sure he said, 'And I want your daughter to drive them" taken from the sweet inspirations section of the Elvis Presley fan club site.
Elvis used to be censored when he first started out while on tv. They thought his moves were to provocative for television. They called him the King of Rock and Roll for a reason!
There were many times he'd have to be carried to his dressing room because he left every ounce of himself on that stage. That's why he was/is the KING!!
There's so much music and talent out there that people have forgotten about or have never listen outside of there culture, 60'S 70'S 80''S there is so much out there.
Even somebody such as myself who wasn't a big Elvis fan had to admit that he had the style, moves, delivery and voice to capture and hold the audience spellbound. My taste in music is somewhat different but even though I wasn't a fan I admired his unique ability and his drive shown in every performance. There will never be another Elvis Presley. Only pale imitations. Sad to say....... Elvis Has Left The Building.
@@SK-rr8op He was quite the entertainer. Nowadays these people can't make it without every kind of gadget imaginable, filthy language and as few clothes as the law allows.
Elvis was the total package! What a showman, you can tell he really loved what he was doing. We, all his fans, still love and miss him Much love, Elvis!! !

Chelsea Leonard Eddie Rabbit is another artist you should listen to, amazing voice, he and Crystal Gayle were an awesome duo and had a few duets from the 80’s worth checking out.
You gotta get some female friends on that have never seen Elvis LIVE. Its one thing to hear the man....its another thing to see him LIVE. I love watching girls reaction to seeing him LIVE. That would be fun
Elvis was so incredible that even people who were always with him and worked with him were overcome by him so much that they would blush from his attention!!! ELVIS!! Enough said!
He had no formal musical training, he couldn't read notes and that little move he did.. was him directing his own band...he is the king..always will be!
@@scottfunk2951 L0L Sorry but I left 40 a long time ago. I graduated from Texas A&M in 1969, I'm 74 years old. Hopefully I'll be able to make it to at least Cissy Houston's age.
I was born 1 year before his death... But as a kid I loved his voice and style... To the point that I had his face glued to my "school bag" in high school... At the time of Gun's and Roses, and Iron Maiden T-Shirt... I was with Elvis and Pink Floyd one of the "happy few"... Of course I also listened to Nirvana, Rage, Soundgarden, No FX and music from "my age", but who had the balls to put an Elvis face on his bag in a southern France beach city, in early 90's ? :) Keanu was doing Point Break at the time... No UA-cam... You can't imagine ! :) Anyway, I'm glad that now Elvis is coming back from the "old ages" and is getting respect for who he was. And I'm happy to live that time when I can see "The King" the way I couldn't have hoped at the time... I love him even more after "seeing" really the "beast" he was. Pure Charisma... Seeing him, you can comprehend how religions could have started. You can't hate the guy, he was nice, cute, full of talent, humble despite all the "stardom"... I'm sure that even JS Bach would have rock with Elvis.
Aw, man. Aw, man. I love this, this performance by Elvis made me understand the love for Elvis. I think it's his call and response, he creates this great big feedback loop between himself, the audience but most of all the band backing him. You can tell the rapport between Elvis and the assembled band, there's almost a kind of jazz vibe going on as they're riffing on his crescendos and the lowest of his murmurings, and the way his body moves it all is electric. Also that moment between him and the backing singer at 5:44 is just one of the most adorable things ever. And this is my favourite song by him, bar none. In spite of the burn-out and ultimate destruction visited upon him by the parasitic evil Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis still remains an oddly shining light. Sure, he could be accused of being the 'acceptable white' face of black music, and we can grieve how he vastly out-earned struggling great African-American talents, but he personally rarely let pass an opportunity to champion a black musician and often brooded upon how he felt he wasn't as talented as Fats Dominio. He helped open a door, and in the South at the time, that was something. And Christ could he rock. Thanks for these videos man. They're a joy. P.S: Just got back from the pub and sentimental, so apologies for rambling.
This was a great reaction to the King, and Peter, good comments. Maybe he outearned black entertainers, but Elvis outearned, outshined every other entertainer of the time. He gave so much away that he was close to getting broke at the time of his death. James Brown and many others credited Elvis with helping them be successful and bringing black music into broad acceptance and popularity. Colonel Parker was both good and bad in that he helped Elvis get started with his success, but in the end his control and greed helped push Elvis toward burnout. I think Elvis' sense of loyalty kept him from cutting ties with the Colonel. I'm sure there were some legally binding issues, but Elvis would have been powerful enough to break away if he had tried.
Love this, it always makes me laugh. While watching this a few years back, when my daughters were quite young, one of them started singing along......."caught in a crap"! Hysterical!
The backup singer who Elvis scared, her name was Myrna Smith and Elvis had a crush on her. He asked her out on a date one time. But she had just started dating Elvis's manager and so Elvis apologized because he didn't know and he butt out. Myrna later ended up marrying Elvis's manager they were married for several years.
And the good mans name is Jerry Schilling. Very well spoken and composed, he was the 2nd most coolest in the entourage, about a mile after Elvis. Third place is Scatter the chimp then grandma the chef and then the body-guards or joy-riders or sponges whatever
As stated in another reply to you, she married Jerry Schilling, although he wasn't Elvis's manager, he WAS a very close friend. But he did manage the Beach Boys for 10 years. Elvis's Manager was Col Tom Parker.
They always talk about how the Ed Sullivan show would only film him above the waist because of his suggestive dancing and movements. But even as late as this performance, you can still evidence of it. Every time he really starts grinding - the camera quickly switches to face close ups or very distant shots.

every Elvis performance was a spectacle. He died before I was born but I have always loved Elvis, and always will :)
The complete entertainer with massive talent.
I always loved the way he cared so much for all his band & back up singers & looked after them... He was more than just an entertainer. He had such a good heart....

The way Elvis was shaking himself all over the stage was not something he invented. Fact!!!
This kind of movement on stage was going on in the black clubs for years. Fact!!!
Just another way America didn't want blacks to be an influence on "white america". Fact!!!
Now I am not saying that "Elvis" wasn't a good entertainer.
What I am saying is he was groomed by "white america" to be your white modern day idol. Fact!!!
This man was not only physically beautiful, had a voice he could manipulate any
way he wished, could dance his backside off , but was a master at controlling
his stage and drawing in the audience.
As a woman I wish I could go back in time and be the right age to have witnessed
this.
Thank the powers that be for even the short time we had this phenomenon.
And now we have Justin Bieber. Umm yipee. Woo hoo. SCream. Wow
Your right sir🎵🎶💯🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🥰💞🎼
Elvis was scheduled to appear at the astrodome, along with his backup singers(the sweet inspirations) and his entourage.
But when they all arrived, Elvis was told by the event organiser that only he and his entourage were aloud to go out on the field, that his backup singers had to stay behind at the hotel.
Elvis never being one to back down to racists, told the organiser that if the sweet inspirations weren't aloud to go then neither would he.
When the organiser backed down, Elvis insisted that the sweet inspirations have their own Cadillac driven by a blonde girl.
"Fighting Racism
Elvis demonstrated his desire for racial reconciliation in the musicians he chose, and in the treatment they received. When he made his first appearance in texas at the Astrodome, according to Myrna Smith, Elvis was told, 'Well, you can leave the black girls home. You don't have to bring them'.
Myna Smith: Elvis responded with, 'Well if they don't come, I don't come'. But he was really upset about it. There was one person in particular who had sent the message. So when we got there, we were greeted by this little blonde in a convertible and she had to drive us around and she was his daughter. So Elvis always made sure he got even. I'm sure he said, 'And I want your daughter to drive them" taken from the sweet inspirations section of the Elvis Presley fan club site.
The world cried when this amazing man died. RIP Elvis
Elvis was an explosion of energy...the Legend!!!
Elvis used to be censored when he first started out while on tv. They thought his moves were to provocative for television. They called him the King of Rock and Roll for a reason!
This is my favourite Elvis song.😀🤘👍
I think it was Bob Dylab who said "when Elvis sings a song , its done" no one cant make a better version.
There were many times he'd have to be carried to his dressing room because he left every ounce of himself on that stage. That's why he was/is the KING!!
Another level. In the palm of his hand. Wow
Great Reaction, it is very hard for anyone to Replicate Elvis. GOD BLESS YOU.
Yeh, nobody can move like him! Elvis the Pelvis!
I’ve never seen you smile as much as you do when you’re watching Elvis! 😊
If you ever have time, spend an evening watching “that’s the way it is”. It was so good. Thanks kid.
This was the height of Elvis' career, when he was in great shape from his martial arts training!
now thats a live performance...all hail the KING...
It's Now or Never another great song by Elvis.
Love your reaction...Elvis is simply the best ❤🔥❤🔥
Elvis had a 6th degree black belt in kempo karate which he incorporated into his act. A true bad ass.
Elvis o eterno Rei tenho 28 anos e queria ter visto ele ao vivo amo Elvis eterno Rei
There's so much music and talent out there that people have forgotten about or have never listen outside of there culture, 60'S 70'S 80''S there is so much out there.
A favorite of all us Elvis junkies
I should have known you would have found a new Elvis reactor before me, joanne. Are you ok? x
@@vivienhallberg200 I'm great. How are you girl

In concert he said “I hope this suit don’t tear up baby.” True story.
Even somebody such as myself who wasn't a big Elvis fan had to admit that he had the style, moves, delivery and voice to capture and hold the audience spellbound. My taste in music is somewhat different but even though I wasn't a fan I admired his unique ability and his drive shown in every performance. There will never be another Elvis Presley. Only pale imitations. Sad to say.......
Elvis Has Left The Building.
His band was super tight too

Yeah, my music taste is actually trance and minimal techno, but I have loved Elvis since 1981. He had that unbeatable charisma and voice + style
Hi Anna please visit Graceland Memphis Tennessee and see his mansion you wouldn't be disappointed

He was quite the entertainer. Nowadays these people can't make it without every kind of gadget imaginable, filthy language and as few clothes as the law allows.
Elvis was the total package! What a showman, you can tell he really loved what he was doing. We, all his fans, still love and miss him Much love, Elvis!!

Elvis conducting his band aswell as singing and dancing he was mesmerising.
Poor old Elvis.

My favorite Elvis song “Kentucky Rain” written by Eddie Rabbit
Chelsea Leonard Eddie Rabbit is another artist you should listen to, amazing voice, he and Crystal Gayle were an awesome duo and had a few duets from the 80’s worth checking out.
And In the Ghetto by Mac Davis.
I saw him in concert in Memphis. I’ve seen a lot but he’s the BEST!
I love “Kentucky Rain”. My fav too.

How he would love seeing your reaction!! He is forever the King!! ❤❤❤❤
You gotta get some female friends on that have never seen Elvis LIVE. Its one thing to hear the man....its another thing to see him LIVE. I love watching girls reaction to seeing him LIVE. That would be fun
No One could sing a song like Elvis! I have never heard a song by him I didn't absolutely love!
Wooden Heart says hello 😂
Reddragon696 Dwight Yokum did a great rendition of Suspicious Minds....

Steve Perry
Elvis was so incredible that even people who were always with him and worked with him were overcome by him so much that they would blush from his attention!!! ELVIS!! Enough said!
He had no formal musical training, he couldn't read notes and that little move he did.. was him directing his own band...he is the king..always will be!
There's a thing that stars have. It's why they're stars. You can't fake it.
He and his drummer had a game to see if Ronnie could keep up with Elvis. Being a black belt in karate he had legs of steel!!
In england he was known as 'Elvis the pelvis'. Total legend.
Cissy Houston (Whitney Houston's) mom was one of Elvis Presley's back up singers.
She was the one that he played with in this video.
Yes she was ; ) too bad about Whitney Houston should of got rid of bobby brown a longggggg time ago.
@@scottfunk2951 Good news is that Cissy Houston is still with us at the age of 86.
@@t0paggie OMG shes still around amazing i think we all wish that we could stay at 40 right?
@@scottfunk2951 L0L Sorry but I left 40 a long time ago. I graduated from Texas A&M in 1969, I'm 74 years old. Hopefully I'll be able to make it to at least Cissy Houston's age.
I was born 1 year before his death... But as a kid I loved his voice and style... To the point that I had his face glued to my "school bag" in high school... At the time of Gun's and Roses, and Iron Maiden T-Shirt...
I was with Elvis and Pink Floyd one of the "happy few"... Of course I also listened to Nirvana, Rage, Soundgarden, No FX and music from "my age", but who had the balls to put an Elvis face on his bag in a southern France beach city, in early 90's ? :)
Keanu was doing Point Break at the time... No UA-cam... You can't imagine ! :)
Anyway, I'm glad that now Elvis is coming back from the "old ages" and is getting respect for who he was. And I'm happy to live that time when I can see "The King" the way I couldn't have hoped at the time... I love him even more after "seeing" really the "beast" he was. Pure Charisma... Seeing him, you can comprehend how religions could have started. You can't hate the guy, he was nice, cute, full of talent, humble despite all the "stardom"...
I'm sure that even JS Bach would have rock with Elvis.
He can be so funny. You'll see.him laughing or slip some comments in while he's singing.
The GOAT
Aw, man. Aw, man. I love this, this performance by Elvis made me understand the love for Elvis. I think it's his call and response, he creates this great big feedback loop between himself, the audience but most of all the band backing him. You can tell the rapport between Elvis and the assembled band, there's almost a kind of jazz vibe going on as they're riffing on his crescendos and the lowest of his murmurings, and the way his body moves it all is electric. Also that moment between him and the backing singer at 5:44 is just one of the most adorable things ever. And this is my favourite song by him, bar none.
In spite of the burn-out and ultimate destruction visited upon him by the parasitic evil Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis still remains an oddly shining light. Sure, he could be accused of being the 'acceptable white' face of black music, and we can grieve how he vastly out-earned struggling great African-American talents, but he personally rarely let pass an opportunity to champion a black musician and often brooded upon how he felt he wasn't as talented as Fats Dominio. He helped open a door, and in the South at the time, that was something.
And Christ could he rock. Thanks for these videos man. They're a joy.
P.S: Just got back from the pub and sentimental, so apologies for rambling.
This was a great reaction to the King, and Peter, good comments. Maybe he outearned black entertainers, but Elvis outearned, outshined every other entertainer of the time. He gave so much away that he was close to getting broke at the time of his death. James Brown and many others credited Elvis with helping them be successful and bringing black music into broad acceptance and popularity. Colonel Parker was both good and bad in that he helped Elvis get started with his success, but in the end his control and greed helped push Elvis toward burnout. I think Elvis' sense of loyalty kept him from cutting ties with the Colonel. I'm sure there were some legally binding issues, but Elvis would have been powerful enough to break away if he had tried.
Agreed. Great comment. Thanks for sharing it. (For some reason I can't give your comment a thumbs up 😒)
You need to spend more time in the pub. That was a wonderful comment
Thank you.
This guy's reaction is truly genuine not like many others who are pretenders.
That man is beautiful. Need a fan y'all!
One of my favs from Elvis.
This why he's the KING!!!! :-)
Love this, it always makes me laugh. While watching this a few years back, when my daughters were quite young, one of them started singing along......."caught in a crap"! Hysterical!
Your reactions are so honest. I can tell by your facial expressions!👌 If you noticed he moves his body with the beats of the drummer .
That's why he is the King!
The backup singer who Elvis scared, her name was Myrna Smith and Elvis had a crush on her. He asked her out on a date one time. But she had just started dating Elvis's manager and so Elvis apologized because he didn't know and he butt out. Myrna later ended up marrying Elvis's manager they were married for several years.
And the good mans name is Jerry Schilling. Very well spoken and composed, he was the 2nd most coolest in the entourage, about a mile after Elvis. Third place is Scatter the chimp then grandma the chef and then the body-guards or joy-riders or sponges whatever
As stated in another reply to you, she married Jerry Schilling, although he wasn't Elvis's manager, he WAS a very close friend. But he did manage the Beach Boys for 10 years. Elvis's Manager was Col Tom Parker.
Colonel who? Never heard of him. Sounds like a circus manager to me. Lol
At the end he does his Karate moves wow
Elvis from another planet 😍😍😍
Oh my GOSH 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Elvis THE KING 👑🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺
I love love reaction 🤣😂😳👽
They always talk about how the Ed Sullivan show would only film him above the waist because of his suggestive dancing and movements. But even as late as this performance, you can still evidence of it. Every time he really starts grinding - the camera quickly switches to face close ups or very distant shots.
One of. Kind The king
