Every time I think I seen everything about Elvis something new comes my way. They picked some very good Elvis songs, but shows you why Elvis is the only king. I don’t know if any other artist has this appeal.
This tells you the incredible scope and broad influence Elvis had on, well, everyone!!! They brought out a ton of 60s stars to do a tribute to what was all one man from basically 1954-62, minus 2 years in the Army. By '65 he'd become fully entrenched in the movies and movie soundtrack albums, and his real music had been pushed aside by '62 and he wouldn't return to real music until 1968. He was absolutely amazing.
Shows how big of a star Elvis was that 10 years after he even became famous and was still alive they did this. These tribute shows are normally done long after the artist is dead, not for the King tho
What a Wonderful and deep (less than obvious /song choices) tribute to Elvis- a decade into his career, with Sonny & Cher and Glen Campbell to boot! This ABC network showcase acts as an early anticipation of his “comeback” 3 years later on NBC. Producer Steve Binder is the thread between “Shindig” & the acclaimed “Elvis” special of 1968!
Binder had his finger on the pulse of Elvis more than anyone. He could have and SHOULD have become his manager. It was Binder who brought it to Elvis' and Colonel Parker's attention in 1969 that Germany and Japan had both offered Elvis a million dollars each to do ONE live show in their countries, one at the Berlin Olympia Football Stadium which can hold over 100,000 and would have sold out in minutes.
This is excellent production for a live, fast-paced hour-long show in 1965. A Director's, Lighting Director's and Choreographer's nightmare that all came together nicely. No pre-taped segments, no second takes.
@@jeffreykaufmann2867 Much of that had to do with the fact that Elvis was entrenched in making bad movies and nothing but the soundtracks to those movies. The Beatles were making historic music and pushing the envelope every album they made. But Elvis was not helping himself. Would he have been able to keep up with them if he'd have not been making so many God--awful movies and not focusing on making real rock n roll albums? Maybe not, but he could have at least been more in touch with the world and the direction rock was going.
There's no comparison on how good Elvis' was in singing, performing and the way he moved with these 60s singers. I'm pretty sure same thing will happen on the '68 Comeback Special 50th anniversary tribute on Sunday, Feb. 17, 2019 with today's singers. Elvis was the best, bar none. It would have been better if the network just show the original 68 Comeback Special. There will never be anyone who will be as good as Elvis.
These 60s singers were better than the junk that was put together for that 50th anniversary special. That was just awful. These 60s stars weren't on Elvis' level either but at least most of them could sing and perform. That crap from a couple years ago was just a mistake. I cringed.
Glen was still relatively obscure at the time. He'd been a part of the Beach Boys briefly around this time when Brian went on hiatus and was primarily a session/studio guitarist. He wouldn't have his own break out career with his own hits until the 70s, so it's just interesting to see him here and wondering what people thought of him at the time. Like, "who is this Glen Campbell guy?"
i more think he must have been frustrated if he saw this. the "latest" song in this was "cant help..." and it was 4 years old at this time. seems more like being a "has been"...
@@michaelgluth5173 Parker had a say in every song chosen. The more money he could make helped with each selection. Elvis probably didn't care one bit about this show. If anything, it just helped show how great his voice was against this variety of comparisons. The host called him The King for a reason.
@@michaelgluth5173 the show was to celebrate Elvis’s 10 years with RCA so obviously they are gonna sing most of his most popular 50s era where he was most successful , Elvis was no has been he was the 2nd most successful artist of the 60s behind the Beatles and crying in the chapel although recorded in 1960 wasn’t released as a single until 1965 where it went number 1 in U.K. and top 3 in the USA oh and the album roustabout went to number 1 in 65 as well
I was only 7 at this time...so seeing this now is just amazing. I truly was in awe of Glen Campbell's renditions. Also Ray Peterson and just about all the rest. Thanks for posting!
I only recently discovered that many of the demos that Elvis received had Glen Campbell singing them...and he did great versions. In fact, his estate put them together for an album. Also, Ray Peterson singing Elvis songs is something I'm very glad to have experienced. It's now or never. Outstanding!
To me, Glen Campbell already had something going as vocalist on this show, that no one wanted to admit at the time (never mind his superior musicianship on the guitar). He was a notch above many vocalists on the show. He also got some of the biggest screams on the show by the girls lol. Gotta admit Ray Petersen really immensely nailed the end of It's Now or Never.
I admit I'm partial but, I agree my dad, Ray...he blew it out of the water on this! What a treat to see it. I believe Elvis really respected him too. He (my dad) sang incredibly well all the way until not long before he went to be with the Lord 15 years ago.❤
Bob, you know Lorene Yarnell? Wow! Ever since I "discovered" this show, Shindig, I always felt those Shindig dancers were the absolute BEST hands down. I never really liked the go-go dancers on a lot of those 60's shows, but there really was something unique and different about the ladies who danced on this show and the choreography as well. How is Ms. Yarnell doing these days? I remember The Shields and Yarnell duo from the 70s when I was a kid. It took me a bit to make the connection. The next time you talk to Ms. Yarnell, please tell her she has a big fan here!
Gran tributo al mejor cantante y artista. Elvis hizo historia y esta la sigue recordando forever. Lastima del mal sonido que tiene el video, pero es una joya. Un tributo en vida de una hora de duracion, con muchos artistas del momento.
I wonder if the Producers of Shindig needed to get the Colonel's permission to do this tribute show to Elvis (anything Elvis-related usually had to go through his Manager, Parker). Also wonder if both Elvis and the Colonel got the idea, along with Steve Binder, to do the 1968 Elvis comeback Special after seeing this. Some of the segments, with how the lighting is set up (Glen Campbell singing "Trouble") are reminiscent of how the 1968 Special was set up (though the Shindig Special came first, in 1965).
I am watching this and wonder thought came to my mind is this question? Did Elvis watch this and what he thought about it? I have never seen are heard about this show and just think how many people get a tribute show decanted in ten years ! Elvis still didn't believe he would be remember! It's was 1977 and now it's almost 2022 1977-2022=45 years!
Surprising there was enough interest in 65 to do a show of Elvis songs. In 65 Elvis hadn't had a hit in 2 years and was rarely on the radio during the time of Beatlemania. Blue Christmas was just about the only Elvis I remember hearing on Memphis radio in the mid 60s.
What made Shindig different from just about all the other 60s shows, and this is only personal opinion, is that its creator, Jack Good was an honest-to-goodness fan of Rock 'N' Roll. Jack was from the U.K. and his appreciation of the history of Rock and R&B was probably more extensive than anyone's except maybe Dick Clark. Jack Good made it a point to spotlight many of the giants of Rock and I believe I read that he lobbied very hard to get Elvis himself to appear on Shindig. What may have prevented that was either Elvis's busy schedule or the machinations of Col. Parker. At any rate, just as Jack did with Ray Charles and many other giants of Rock and R&B, he devoted an episode to one of his all-time favorites, Elvis.
@@Tomovox_PAMS_Radio_JIngles Shindig was a great show as was Where the Action Is. "Col." Parker's plan to make Elvis a movie star, convincing him to sing all those horrible Hollywood songs definitely changed American music. With Elvis off the charts for most of the 60's, the British Invasion set the tone for years.
At around 47:40 Jimmy O'Neill makes reference to Elvis recording gospel songs, and then introduces Linda Gail who sang "Crying In The Chapel." Elvis' recording was released April 6, 1965, and this episode of "Shindig!" aired May 5, 1965. "Crying In The Chapel" reached # 3 on Billboard, and # 1 in the UK.
@garyt1957 None of those songs were hits. The whole album lasted 20 minutes. The longest song was 2:15. Viva Las Vegas and Crying in the Chapel were his only hits of the mid 60s.
@garyt1957 This is about the MID 60s. Not the early 60s. Not the late 60s. 1964, 65, 66. The MID 60s. Ask Me? Has that been played on the radio since 1964? Easy Question? Puppet on a String? Forgettable. They got some airplay because he was Elvis and he was making movies. And then they disappeared.
I watched both Shindig and Hullabaloo, but while my preference was Shindig, Hullabaloo had a moment to remember with The Dave Clark Five and their song Bits and Pieces. Their performance starts at 3:24 with Glad All Over. Bits and Pieces is at 4:21. Classic!!! The link: ua-cam.com/video/MiSQ_C9pAws/v-deo.html
52:48 - It's crazy to think when he read that telegram, the Beatles had barely been famous in America for maybe a year and a half. Depending on when this first aired, their current album was either Help, Beatles '65, or Rubber Soul. Elvis was certainly feeling some pressure by this point, as his films were smash hits at the box office but complete disasters by anyone who had any real good taste in music or movies. The Beatles meanwhile were making ever more interesting music - and they were doing it themselves. They were also in the middle of touring the entire world to sold out shows at every corner of the planet while Elvis was reclusive to either home at Graceland or his Beverly Hills house.
Meanwhile Elvis was sinking artistically filming Harum Scarum & Tickle Me likely not far from where ShinDig was taped. Imagine he walked out at the very end of show?!?
They were already doing tributes to Elvis in 65. Well that tells you exactly how good he was!

Beautiful Tribute to The King. The respect they had then and still for Elvis was incredible and so they should be.♥️👏😁

Amazing tribute! Even Beatlemania couldn't derail "THE KING" at the height of their popularity.
Elvis had only one number one song During the 6 years of Beatlemania.

@@joe6096 most of those bad movies had a few excellent Songs like" Am I Ready" from Spinout.
@@jeffreykaufmann2867 Compared to his real music, like Hound Dog, Too Much, Way Dow?? No, Nothing in his movie albums were any good.
@@joe6096he was in touch. However, some people sucked his talent, his life, his very motivation out of him.

Really enjoyed this Elvis tribute. Bill
Glen Campbell did a fantastic job on surrender.

He wouldn't have his own break out career with his own hits until the 70s, so it's just interesting to see him here and wondering what people thought of him at the time.

Television Was Better Back Then.
La reprise de Jailhouse Rock est magnifique
Elvis was voted "male singer of the year" in the UK Even during the Beatles Stones reign (NME poll)
why have we never seen this its AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Elvis watched it and he loved every bit of it
i more think he must have been frustrated if he saw this. the "latest" song in this was "cant help..." and it was 4 years old at this time. seems more like being a "has been"...

I never saw this, and I was an Elvis fan big time from Day One! Glen Campbell did "Trouble" great!! Sonny and Cher before super stars is fun.
Now you know how good Elvis Presley was just by listening to these artist try in vain to sing his covers. Elvis was on another level.
I wonder if Elvis saw this Tribute show! he knew how much his fans loved him and he always appreciated his fans.
I am loving these shindig reruns.
I was only 7 at this time...so seeing this now is just amazing. I truly was in awe of Glen Campbell's renditions. Also Ray Peterson and just about all the rest. Thanks for posting!
Elvis's future concert Guitar player. James Burton, played in the shindig band!
Almost forgot...love that the ads and promos were kept in!
Loved Maria Ghava version of "Little Sister" and the change up in the lyrics. 🧡
I only recently discovered that many of the demos that Elvis received had Glen Campbell singing them...and he did great versions. In fact, his estate put them together for an album. Also, Ray Peterson singing Elvis songs is something I'm very glad to have experienced. It's now or never. Outstanding!
Elvis returned the favor. Presley recorded Wonder Of You.
Sonny and Cher, Isley Brothers, Darlene Love , Glen Campbell ( best song - I'm Evil) non stop singing and dancing
Just wow...
the covers are great... I wonder what Elvis would have thought after watching this
Muito bom o Elvis em vida merecer essa homenagem muito bacana Elvis continua o Rei
Que linda homenagem se Elvis viu ficou muito feliz. Ele mereceu, merece e sempre vai merecer afinal ele é o rei né? 👑
Thus is freaking amazing... Wish we all got on this well today. Peeve and love, y'all.
To me, Glen Campbell already had something going as vocalist on this show, that no one wanted to admit at the time (never mind his superior musicianship on the guitar).

Ray put so much emotion into his songs. Awesome talent, and I'm sure Elvis appreciated and respected him.
wow thank you, Lorene Yarnell was one of the dancers and very close friend of ours, and was in our wedding, thank you again

Never seen Shindig before loved it
most werent as good as this one if i remember correctly. but they often or always had at least one good act. hullabaloo also.
Yep, definitely, thank you so much. This is GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW! Thanks for sharing.
Que bom que fizeram tributos a Elvis enquanto ele estava vivo e ele pode ver isso!!!👏👏👏👏 Amei !!!!⚡🎶🎵🌠🌠🌠
Achei muito bom isso e é algo que eu não sabia
@@wilsonmoreno8378 Eu também não sabia kkk
Linda homenagem para Elvis.
Not even Elvis can match Ray Petersons powerhouse finale on It's Now Or Never...wow what a finish (from 23.00)
I think Elvis watched this show,Saw James Burton and said:"HIM"
"That's the guitar player i need"
what a career Glenn Campbell had!
Gran tributo al mejor cantante y artista. Elvis hizo historia y esta la sigue recordando forever. Lastima del mal sonido que tiene el video, pero es una joya. Un tributo en vida de una hora de duracion, con muchos artistas del momento.
Thank you so much for uploading this! :)
Playing guitar on that's alright mama is James Burton who later on from 1969 until he died became Elvis Presley's guitar player
This was really well done for the time.You can tell a lot of thought went into this.I wonder if Elvis heard about it/watched it
I love Glen Campbell he did justice to I'm evil wow amazing.👏👏👏
RCA used to hire him to sing the demos because his pitch matched Elvis so well
I LOVED THIS-THANK YOU

Who was playing guitar for Delaney Bramlett on That's Alright? He did Scotty's solo note for note.
Great version of "King Creole".

It's all about the lighting
I wonder if the opening inspired Steve Binder to produce the 68 Comeback Special in the same manner, "If You're Looking for Trouble."
Sensacional😍❤❤❤❤
Beautiful❤ Thankil❤
The audio is bad on this video !!!
Elvis would had watched this, as James Burton was picked by him as his guitarist later😁
Wonder if Elvis actually watched this when it was aired?
James Burton on guitar with Delaney Bramlett!!!
@29:00 the singer messes up the line in "Crawfish", its "if you fry him crisp or boil him right" he reversed it.
What a treasure!
Does Elvis watched it?
No doubt.
Wish he was there too.
How can you sing "Trouble" and not hardly move?
Muito bom !!

James Burton.. The Blossoms...!!!
As well as James Burton elsa's future guitar player the Blossoms are on here as well who sang with Elvis on the 68 comeback
Linda Gail Lewis was excellent.
Elvis se apresentou tambem em shinding?
James Burton at guitare !
You don't sing Elvis songs sitting down or standing in front of the mike you gotta rock on baby
Dual cool.
I think that this is 10 years tribute to elvis and RCA Association cause elvis actually started in 1954 with sun records.
Единственный минус в том, что звук оставляет желать лучшего (
Mean woman blues is top
🇧🇷
Элвис пел задушевнее!!!!🥰🥰❤❤❤❤😘😘😘😘😘
i wonder why elvis did not appear he was alive then
👏🥰💙
Sonny & Cher are one of the coolest 60's acts. Deke Rivers doesn't know shit! Go away, Deke...and stop stealing Elvis character names.
Would you prefer John Burrows?
Meanwhile Elvis was sinking artistically filming Harum Scarum & Tickle Me likely not far from where ShinDig was taped. Imagine he walked out at the very end of show?!?
They should have had him come on and do the ending of "Surrender" with Glen Campbell.
Danchine 17
STRI-DEX
bad pock mark on the left cheek. Past that got better, no?
Too much bass
I know this maybe an odd take or impression..this is kind of insult/mockery of Elvis at the time in the way it was done in retrospect.
This is not a good video it all was has breaks in it
Doesn't this blow out the water the idiotic idea that Elvis was a racist.
