The name of Elvis home is called Graceland . I’ve been an Elvis fan for 65 years and since Elvis’ passing my entire family go every ten years to celebrate his life. , I’ve been to the candlelight vigil each time and there are multitude of thousands of people there. They close off Elvis Presley Blvd. which is directly in front of his home it is the most breathtaking experience. I was there last year. Now my granddaughter wants to go to Elvis‘s grave. She’s six years old and she says when are we going to Elvis‘s house? I want to put a teddy bear on his grave. My son grew up to be an Elvis fan, and now my little granddaughter is in love with him as well. So, Elvis‘s life and Legacy has changed my entire family. We go there simply to say thank you Elvis thank you for so much love and joy and happiness you’ve given our family. It’s not that I’m an obsessed fan in anyway I just simply love the human being that he was and I respect so much how much my life has improved because of his existence. I’ve had a very difficult life and in the midst of turmoil and confusion, he brought the pain a little less painful for me. He was my bridge over troubled water. Just thought I’d say that take care of my friend.
Beautiful song, perfectly sung! It's not the microphone, it's Elvis voice. He couldn't even be autotuned, because of his vibrato. There is a guy ( wings of pegasus) who seperated Elvis' voice and analysed it. No computer today could autotune this voice without making it sound strange. Many artists today use autotune and pitch correction....guess why!😊 Thank you for this special reaction!💚☀️
Memphis Tennessee, they do Elvis week in August that last 9 days. Then people go for his Birthday January 8, I lives an hour from there. When he started the police threatened to put him in jail, and the FBI had a file on him, told the police if he moved on stage to throw him in jail. You need to watch a documentary on him. There is a reason they call him the king of rock and roll. He opened the door for artists.He is the only solo singer inducted into 5 different music hall of fames… Rock and Roll, Country, Gospel, Rockabilly, and States Memphis Music Hall of Fame, and Mississippi Musicians.
Graceland is the home Elvis bought back in 1957, when he was 22 years old, while filming Jailhouse Rock. He is buried in the zen garden at Graceland (his favorite place), after someone attempted to steal his body at the cemetery, where he was originally buried. His mom, dad, paternal grandmother, his daughter, and his grandson are all buried there too. Graceland is located at 3764 Elvis Presley Boulevard, Memphis, Tennessee (yes, the street was named after him). You can book tours there and VIP tours and you can see the Elvis Presley museum, his cars, his famous outfits, his jewelry, his personal belongings... etc. They not only have a candlelight vigil to remember Elvis every year on the anniversary of his passing, they also celebrate his birthday every year, January 8, and have a 3 to 4 day event, and fans stand outside the famous music gates of Graceland and sing happy birthday to him. Every Christmas they decorate Graceland the way Elvis did (He loved Christmas). There is also an Elvis Week every year, where his personal belongings are displayed and they have concerts with Elvis impersonators performing. Elvis was always afraid he would be forgotten, that he wouldn't have made an impact on the world....he was so wrong about that. 47 years after his passing, and fans still love him so much. He gains new fans everyday...and he will forever be remembered and loved.
Mystery Train/Tiger Man. You have to react to that. It’s a banger. Elvis does a lot of moving. It’s one of his best. It’s from a movie he did so it’s in 4K
You are so funny and cute. You remind me of a very young Elvis. He used to say, " let's see, what was I going to say"? You kind of have his sense of humor, too. ❤
All the videos you’ve seen with him wearing this suit is because it’s from the same performance. He didn’t wear the same suit very often. Unfortunately they did not video of a lot of his stuff. Video footage of Elvis is relatively rare. Whenever new videos emerge they usually get top dollar.
It means when you feel alone (no friends) he’ll be there to help, like a bridge over troubled water - which makes it easier to get past the rough patch.
Glad that you are enjoying Elvis. You should start pulling up the lyrics before you review the song. Here are the lyrics for "Bridge Over Troubled Water" This is a classic song and one of the best written lyrics ever by Paul Simon. When you're weary Feeling small When tears are in your eyes I will dry them all I'm on your side When times get rough And friends just can't be found Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down When you're down and out When you're on the street When evening falls so hard I will comfort you I'll take your part When darkness comes And pain is all around Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Sail on Silver Girl Sail on by Your time has come to shine All your dreams are on their way See how they shine (See how they shine) If you need a friend (If you need a friend) I'm sailing right behind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind I will ease your mind.
Please react to Elvis’s Santa Claus Is Back In Town from his first Christmas Album in ‘56 or’57. It is “something else”. It’s not like any Christmas Song I have heard before or since. Thanks! You are so hilarious. Fun to watch.
Omg…I’m dying 😂😂😂 when you said anal beads and dog is p!ssing on my car, I lost it. 😂😂😂. Now, onto the song. It’s probably hard to get into when you have to stop and figure out the lyrics several times (I heard the original a gazzilion times on the radio growing up and know the lyrics), and then there’s the distraction with the dog, but hey, no judgement. Stuff happens. Trust me when I say that this is more up tempo and dramatic than the original by Simon and Garfunkel in 1970. I don’t dig Elvis so much during the Vegas years, but I do love this rendition because of the emotion he puts into and then, dayum, those vocals. I don’t think so much it’s the mic that’s making the difference but rather there’s no auto-tune or other voice manipulation going on back then that you have now. What you hear is the actual voice.
When you listen to Elvis, you are listening to greatness. He wasn't called the King of R &R for nothing. He sang in several different genres, Rockabilly, R & R, R &B, Country and Gospel. Not every song is an upbeat dancing song, some are topic specific, some are soft romantic songs and some like Hound dog are silly. You have a lot to learn and a whole lot of great music yet to disvover so set your biases aside, don't be distracted when reacting, pull up the lyrics if you don't understand them and be present in the moment. You'll be amazed at what's yet to come.
A modern performer could not use that microphone well. There is no autotune for one and Elvis is controlling his own fade ins and fade outs just with his superior mic control. I still find it amazing he is not using an ear piece and he is performing live with a full band, an orchestra, and two groups of backup singers.
It`s not just the microphone. The sound is more natural because the songs back then haven`t been tampered with. There`s no autotune, which makes it even more special. Today`s concerts are all autotuned, let alone the recordings.
You should go to Graceland..would be a cool trip and you can do a reaction here. Which would be fire 🔥 Never been to Memphis so can do it vicariously through you!
U can go to graceland any time of the year but it does cost money I've been twice once this year and once last year I love it and u can turn the captions on so u can know what he's saying! Love ur reactions please react to new Orleans u will love it and its a movie scene from king creole
Every year since Elvis died. They have a 10 day Memorial around the day Elvis died. In Graceland Tennessee. People come from all around the world to participate in the 10 day ceremony. There are thousand of people who go. This has been going on since his desth. August 16 1977. There is nobody on earth, who has that kind of fan following. Or remembrance. It is a really big deal.
I realise that you have to pause now and then for copyright reasons, but you're doing it so much people will turn off. Way too much man. This is one of the greatest performances of all time. And it's not the microphone, IT'S THE PERSON SINGING
it is a lot of pausing, this is an older video. over time i got better with not pausing so much.. once i start reacting to videos in real time again there will not be so much pausing thanks
You try to understand what the meaning is and you stop the song........and in a lot of these instances if you gave the song a few more words ....the meaning would be evident. This song was an anthem of sorts for the 70s - its message was "I will sacrifice to help someone in need, someone down on his luck...someone who life has turned their back upon. The meaning is probably lost in todays world. The song was written by Paul Simon and after hearing Elvis do his song he said: “When I first heard Elvis perform ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ it was unbelievable. I thought to myself, ‘How the hell can I compete with that?" Later on SImon said of Elvis version: "I cherish his version of my song” The range of vocal inflection, passion and power Elvis uses in this song is just stunning.' This song was recorded live in August 1970 during the same Las Vegas residency in which songs like "Polk Salad Annie", "Suspicious Minds" "In the Ghetto" and "Make the World Go Away were performed. The microphones that Elvis used were "Shure" mikes. Mikes made by the Shure company are top of the line in sound reproduction and amplification..Elvis used SM53 and SM54s in the 70s. Today mikes that most people use are low quality and not really designed for singing live they are more for podcasts and social media.
Pull up the lyrics to the song. You often seem not to be able to understand him. You're running the words together. When friends can't be found,(pause) Like a bridge i will lay me down. Meaning " I will help you
You are not listening to Elvis's voice itself. You're too concerned with other things. These songs are from 1970. He was 35 years old here. Being born in 1935. It doesn't matter how fast or how slow the song is, Elvis puts the kind of emotion in a song in regards to what type of song it is. If it's a more mellow or sad song, no, he's not going to be jumping around and goofing off. He puts the emotion into the song he is singing as he sees fit. As soon as he puts that mic down he's Elvis again. You do yourself a favor if you just listen you're not getting the words right. You're stopping it too much, you cannot listen to the song when you stopped it every 5 seconds. You lose track of what's going on. Elvis does not mumble. Maybe you need a hearing test.
These are 4th and 5th generation recordings. They did not have the tech they have today. Words are not so asily heard. Elvis pulled the mic close and further away to mute sounds. Also, the building you were singing in made a big difference.
Are you serious? There aren’t any better singers! Name one pop, country, blues, rock or gospel singer that has a 2 and 1/3 octives vocal range. Elvis isn’t the KING for nothing!!! Do some research. You might prefer someone else’s singing, but that doesn’t make them better!
"When tears are in your eyes I will dry them all."
Elvis é inimitavel eu amo ouvi lo
This is a vocal masterpiece…..
It’s not the microphone….it’s his voice. Plus no Auto Tune that’s why more real sounding

Thank you for what you have said it's almost exactly what I would put down What this world would have been like without him oh I miss him
AMEN 💙 TIMELESS
Elvis is very much beyond great in the best and most talented singer that there ever was or ever will be. He’s amazing there’s not even words.
When tears are in your eyes I will dry them all
Beautiful song, perfectly sung!

Elvis is also in the Gospel Hall of Fame.
Elvis had a residency in Vegas and they filmed him performing so there are plenty of performances that show him in the same outfits
Even if you don’t like the song didn’t you hear Elvis great vocals? Nobody today can sing like that.
Graceland is the home Elvis bought back in 1957, when he was 22 years old, while filming Jailhouse Rock.

Elvis music always have a meaning he was the greatest thank you for sharing the videos with us
thank you
Twano I travelled from Australia to Graceland 2 years ago - a lifetime dream to visit the home of my idol. Elvis was beyond great. 💕🇦🇺
One of my favorites.❤
Mystery Train/Tiger Man. You have to react to that. It’s a banger. Elvis does a lot of moving. It’s one of his best.
It’s from a movie he did so it’s in 4K
Elvis could sing off a box & make it sound good❤
You are so funny and cute. You remind me of a very young Elvis. He used to say, " let's see, what was I going to say"? You kind of have his sense of humor, too. ❤
thank you❤️
All the videos you’ve seen with him wearing this suit is because it’s from the same performance.
He didn’t wear the same suit very often.
Unfortunately they did not video of a lot of his stuff. Video footage of Elvis is relatively rare. Whenever new videos emerge they usually get top dollar.
Elvis always gives me goosebumps when he sings
It's called Graceland and it's in Memphis Tennessee. I've been twice
It's not the microphone my friend, that's a chorded mic , live audience, no autotune-- you're just listening to the Greatest !
Just beautiful x
One of my favorites❤. Thank you!
Graceland is in Memphis Tennessee. I’ve been there 3 times. It is the second most visited place. The White House is the first
Awesome
It means when you feel alone (no friends) he’ll be there to help, like a bridge over troubled water - which makes it easier to get past the rough patch.
One of my favorate Elvis movies
Cos you were distracted..got to watch it all through .
Graceland is the second most visited home in America. First is the White House.

Glad that you are enjoying Elvis. You should start pulling up the lyrics before you review the song. Here are the lyrics for "Bridge Over Troubled Water" This is a classic song and one of the best written lyrics ever by Paul Simon.
When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all
I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on Silver Girl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine (See how they shine)
If you need a friend (If you need a friend)
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
I will ease your mind.
New Sub, great reaction 😊

no way you can like them all.

I will dry them all (the tears)

Tennessee
God is the solution
Graceland Tennessee
Tou didn't see Elvis in this outfit a trillion times or two times because he didn't wear it more then once.. It's snippets from the same concert...
Memphis Tennessee.
You need to watch songs from Aloha from Hawaii 1973. Best EVER!!!!
You try to understand what the meaning is and you stop the song........and in a lot of these instances if you gave the song a few more words ....the meaning would be evident.

Or maybe it's just Elvis's voice and what he does with it.
9:50 Damn that sucks😂😭
It’s the voice, not the microphone…
He's only 35 here
I have a suggestion, Google the lyric to the song before you see the video, then you can read along when Elvis sinngs.
Pull up the lyrics to the song. You often seem not to be able to understand him. You're running the words together. When friends can't be found,(pause) Like a bridge i will lay me down. Meaning " I will help you

1970 same as the others
dude, if you cant hear the words then turn the captions on and read the lyrics.
Are you serious? There aren’t any better singers! Name one pop, country, blues, rock or gospel singer that has a 2 and 1/3 octives vocal range. Elvis isn’t the KING for nothing!!! Do some research. You might prefer someone else’s singing, but that doesn’t make them better!
Agree!
