OH MY GOODNESS! I am a 72 year old woman. Right now I am going through a very stressful time and I was flipping through channels the other night, couldn't sleep, and I found the two of you! I was awake untill 4:00 AM! So much FUN! Amber you are so innocent and refreshing! You are such a perfect couple, thoughtful and kind to each other. Your reactions to the music, I grew up with made me laugh, I guess, I take the past intertainers for granted and you make me see them in a whole new light. Your girls are adorable and I can't wait to see the baby! Thank you, for the memories, the smiles, the reminder that tomorrow will be better, life is good, and for sharing yourselves with me. God bless.
keep checking them out you will see the baby...
Welcome to the family! Many of us discovered them exactly the same way. They are so refreshing and infectious! Great channel.
I too Claudia am going through a lot and found these two and stayed awake till five in the morning . I love when generations discover the power of music.
You rock . !! You are the sort of person that makes the world a kinder nicer place . I hope you can cope and realise how precious you are 💖🙏🏻
You are part of a great family now Claudia 😊
If you want an Elvis song for the girls, it has to be Hound Dog. We sang that constantly when we were kids.
Previously a hit for Big Mama Thornton.
Pat Boone.
"Teddy Bear" is the ABSOLUTE Song your girls should be introduced to!!
"Blue Suede Shoes" is a cover of a song originally written and recorded by Carl Perkins, who was a label mate at Sun Records with Elvis Presley, and they were good friends.
Here is an interesting story. When Sun Records was about to release "Blue Suede Shoes" as a single, Carl Perkins got into a bad automobile accident, and was hospitalized for his injuries. When Elvis Presley was making his series of TV appearances on "The Stage Show" on CBS, Presley was facing pressure by RCA Records to perform his version of "Blues Suede Shoes" on television first. Elvis Presley refused to perform the song on the program as a matter of principle, until Carl Perkins recuperated from his injuries, and was able to perform the song on television himself. Presley kept his word, and after Perkins performed the song on television, Presley finally performed the song himself on television also.
He broke several molds. They wouldn't show his legs up close - his shaking was frowned upon at that time. He pushed the boundaries.
I think you had a lot of #2s back then - Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard. Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, Chuck Berry, Everly Brothers, Bo Diddley, Roy Orbison, even Johnny Cash.
That's a very good list....
I’d say Johnny Cash is more country, but I agree with most of these.
Fats Domino?
In my recollection, the Everly Brothers had the widest airplay after Elvis.
The Everly Brothers - Bye, Bye Love 0r Wake Up Little Susie
Fats Domino - I'm Walkin' or Blueberry Hill
Try “Bossa Nova,” “Return to Sender,” “Teddy Bear,” and “All Shook Up.”
My favorite live shows are his ‘68 Comeback Special and Aloha from Hawaii. ♥️♥️ But you can’t go wrong with any live performance with Elvis. He was THE entertainer.
The 68 comeback, is the best ever. I think the main rival was Tom Jones but never came close inmy opinion.
Yes I agree 👍💯
Follow That Dream, Treat Me Nice
You haven't heard all the sides of Elvis. He's Country, he's Gospel, he's jazz, he's crooner, he's big band. He did it all!
And he did them all well!!!!!
@@nancymunroe3672 That's why he is now, and always will be, The King.
Kentucky Rain is one of my favorites. Another is Old Shep.
Except write his own songs. He mostly copied other people's songs.
Yes my grandma had his gospel albums
Blue Suede Shoes is actually a cover song done by Elvis Presley. It was originally written and recorded on SUN Records in 1955 by Carl Perkins and went to #2 on the charts.
Elvis loved his gospel roots and his Mama!
Y’all gotta give Buddy Holly a listen to. You’ve covered most of the other huge 1950’s rockers…. And he’s one of the best!
That'll be the day. Peggy Sue. Rave On.
@@matthewdrake4385 Rave on is must.
I love Buddy Holly
Dion and Belmonts were more doo wop I think. Still worth a look or listen though. In fact the whole doo wop genre they should check out.
And Ritchie Valens!
Elvis walks into SUN Studios in Memphis.
"Who you sound like, boy?"
Elvis: "I don't sound like nobody."
Not a song by Elvis, but 2 songs about Elvis that you might want to preview. 1) Walking In Memphis by Marc Cohn. This one is very blues with INCREDIBLE piano sounds. 2) Black Velvet by Alannah Myles. This one is damn sultry rock. The title is in relation to the fact that back in the day you could always find pictures of Elvis done in a black velvet style of painting. Great job guys!
Black Velvet would be a great one for Female Fridays.
I ❤ Walking in Memphis !
Cher Walking in Memphis! Please.. 🥺
I will answer that question: There was Elvis No. 1 and then EVERYONE else came number 2. No one could beat Elvis. No one was even in the running behind Elvis!!!
During Elvis' domination of those early years, there were few contenders. There were a bunch of imitators, but nobody could compete with his talent, voice, looks and charisma.
Three fun Elvis songs that are kid appropriate would be, "All Shook Up'", "Don't Be Cruel", and "Hound Dog". A Little Less Conversation would also be a good Elvis song for you to listen to, but not with the little ones around.
that's the perfect elvis lineup for beginners!
Great suggestions for kids.
I heard we were all high class now.....I'm All Shook Up.
How about "Come on everybody" from Viva Las Vegas
Teddy Bear
This was originally by Carl Perkins- he stayed pretty close to the original for this
Millionaires quartet! Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins - Sun Records -a happenstance recording. Happy Accident?
They need to check out Carl Perkins.
Little known fact: Carl's original recording of his song 'Blue Suede Shoes' charted higher than Elvis' version! But Elvis good looks, dance moves, and overall charisma made the song the launching point of a much bigger career. Carl, who was a perfect gentleman, always admitted that he had a wife and kids and didn't have Elvis good looks and described himself as having a voice like a pail of gravel - so he was never going to be Elvis Presley. But Carl was delighted to say that royalties from Elvis' recording bought him a lot of Cadillacs over the years. Carl was also an excellent guitarist and was a pioneer of the rockabilly sound.
There were other rockabilly artists -- Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Gene Vincent -- but I don't think Elvis had any serious competition in this period. Maybe Buddy Holly came closest.
Roy Orbison was the better singer, Elvis even said it and when he was called the king of Rock by a journalist he quickly told them off as said no that's Fats Domino. My dad always preferred Buddy to Elvis though he loved them both.
Current rockabilly would be Brian Setzer although he is also a swing artist.
Eddie Cochran ?
It was once said Buddy Holly was the only singer that Elvis was concerned about because Buddy Holly could write his own music and he was not what you call the best looking guy more of a nerd look but he could write some damn good songs
@@ronaldackerman7383 why would Elvis be concerned about Buddy Holly? All he can do is write songs and can't singer like Elvis. Elvis was all at one a Baritone, tenor and bass. He could sing anything. Elvis was the whole package. As Carl Perkins said once, " Elvis had everything. He had the looks, the moves, the manager, and the talent. And he didn't look like Mr. Ed, like a lot of us did, Elvis was hitting them with sideburns, flashy clothes, and no ring on the finger. I had three kids."
What a fantastic accompaniment, Elvis was amazing as were his musicians.
I'm an old lady now but I used to request bands to play this song at weddings. I do have a pair of blue suede shoes too!
More fun Elvis, check out You Ain't Nothing But a Hound Dog, Teddy Bear - girls will love them. There's also a song from his movie GI Blues called I Don't Have a Wooden Heart. Then get romantic with Love Me Tender and Are You Lonesome Tonight.
His catalog is huge. Lots of fun stuff out there.
Big Mama Thornton's Hound Dog is better (my opinion) as it's raw and the original.
And "Home Is Where The Heart Is"
How about from G.I. Blues,. Your Daddy wore Big boots
Can't leave out 'Can't Help Falling in Love"!
He also has a lullaby five sleepy heads and the video for that features pebbles from the Flintstones that would be perfect for baby Luca
Rick Nelson "Poor Little Fool", "Travelin' Man", and "It's Late", Roy Orbison "Crying", "Pretty Woman", and "Only the Lonely" to name just a few of many great songs between them. Also Jerry Lee Lewis, and Johnny Cash were Elvis's "contemporaries".
Yes Yes and Yes
Absolutely
Yes, you hit the right ones. I meant to add Conway Twitty to the list.
Ooo Roy Orbison! I haven't thought of him in awhile. Great choice.
Yes Yes Yes Roy Orbison "Pretty Woman" and "Only the Lonely" my favorites 😀😀
Suspicious Minds, the recorded version is best! That's not a "fun" one, though. "Love Me Tender", is super super sweet.
Yes, and "I Can't Help Falling In Love (with You). That's a swooner.
"Suspicious Minds" came along in the early years of the "Great Elvis Comeback", along with "In The Ghetto." Early Elvis would include "You Ain't Nothin' bit a Hound Dog" and "Love Me Tender"
Yes!!! Just suggested 'Suspicious Minds' and 'Can't Help Falling in Love' along with 'Burning Love'!!!
US mail was a fun song, so was Little Eva.
And Fine Young Cannibals do a classic cover of Suspicious Minds.
Chuck Berry was very popular in the mid 50's. Elvis recorded a lot of his songs. Since I take it that both of you are teachers the obvious song to listen to is "School Days (Ring! Ring! goes the Bell)" It was a massive hit and became somewhat of an anthem for Rock and Roll.
But you can't do the 50's without the Platters.
If you want to hear Elvis' early tenor voice, check out "That's All Right, Mama." Love that early rockabilly sound. If you do too, you've gotta try Johnny Tillotson, Gene Vincent, Buddy Holly, Johnny Burnette, Buddy Knox... So MANY great tunes from the '50s!!
"Suspicious Minds" is the Elvis song I would react to....
I wish they would react to suspicious minds they would love it
Yes!! Now THAT they have to react to.
Try some Roy Orbison.
Suspicious Minds 'Live' Vegas performance ❤
Definitely suspicious minds live in Vegas 1970
Your daughter wearing a Def Leppard t-shirt to school is probably the COOLEST THING any reactor has ever said!!!
My last comment was on how you guys appreciate older music. The fact that you're sharing with your children and now they are gaining interest is simply beautiful...
I LOVE you guys!!!
Also, a good kid friendly song with dancing:
"Bossa Nova Baby", from the movie Fun in Acapulco, or
"C'mon Everybody", from the movie Viva Las Vegas.
Two Elvis songs that really showcase his voice are “Surrender” and “It’s Now or Never”. Surrender especially.
Oh yes, definitely!
YESSSSS!!!! Both will blow them away but SURRENDER just a bit more. Great call❤️
Surrender gets my vote... Good call...
It's Now or Never, I love that song!
It’s now or never is actually Italian O sole mio👌
You two are my absolute favorite reactors! Thank you!
G♡D broke the mold when he made Elvis Presley.
The world was not ready for Elvis we still aren't! 😂
Elvis was as close to perfection as a musician can be.
Nobody looked like him nobody had his charisma, his voice, he even sang gospel to G♡D which puts his in a class all on his own for his faith.
Women not ready for Elvis ugh ugh hahaha.
Before he died they should have cloned em...
This is typical of young Elvis. Heartbreak Hotel, Return To Sender, That's Alright Mama, Teddy Bear are also the young Elvis I remember most as a kid. Then there's I Can't Help Falling In Love With You.
Surprised you haven’t done “Heartbreak Hotel”. A classic.
I've not seen you react to Buddy Holly yet, considering he was only recording for a couple of years before his tragic death his output and influence was phenomenal.
Tracks like That'll Be The Day, Rave On, Everyday, True Love Ways, Peggy Sue, Not Fade Away, Oh Boy, It Doesn't Matter Anymore, Raining In My Heart and a few others are all classics.
I've got his greatest hits album, 20 tracks and 17 or 18 of them are instantly recognisable to people of my generation who were born after he died.
buddy holly and richie vallens need to be covered on this channel, if only for you to appreciate what was meant by "the day the music died" (american pie)
RAVE ON!
Officially, it's Buddy Holly & the Crickets.
The Beatles named themselves after Buddy Holly & the Crickets.
So, The Beatles were fans.
For a competitor to Elvis, check out Ricky Nelson, who also had a great rockabilly game. Ricky started out on a family sitcom with his parents and brother, called The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet. As Ricky got older and started performing, his parents started incorporating his singing into the series, eventually adding a full performance at the end of most (maybe all) episodes. Good reaction songs would be Travelin' Man, Hello Mary Lou, Poor Little Fool, I Will Follow You, and Garden Party. Here's a link:th-cam.com/video/zLkCWT2neuI/w-d-xo.html
I believe karate and blinged out Elvis was when he started headlining shows in Vegas. His fame was beyond nuts by then.. and his personal life was a super rollercoaster. I think his extravagant looks were a hint to his level of fame. Big.. bold and to the stratosphere!
Elvis had so many layers, you guys haven’t even experienced the concert years yet or gospel. Gospel is when you truly hear what a spiritual person he was. The live version of How Great Thou Art is just beautiful! Amber would love Its Now or Never and Hurt. Your girls would definitely love Teddy Bear and Return to Sender.
When Elvis first came out in the 50's, his style was called Rockabilly, and he was years before the Beatles. His contemporaries that I still really like were Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and Buddy Holly.
Another artist of the time, my mother's favorite, Johnny Mathis - "Chances Are" would be a great place to start.
12 of never was great too.
My moms favorite was Johnny Mathis as well. What a beautiful voice.
I've suggested Johnny Mathis to them before too. From the Johnny Mathis discography Wikipedia page: "In a ranking of the top album artists of the last half of the 1950s in terms of Billboard chart performance, he [Mathis} comes in at number two, for the 1960s, number 10, and for the period from 1955 to 2009 he is at number six."
Mean woman blues from the movie loving you,Thank you so much for your reaction. ❤The G.O.A.T. ☝👍👊🕊😇🇵🇷🇺🇲❤🙏
That's a Carl Perkins song!!! Chuck Berry was the "Black Elvis"
There's plenty of videos of early Elvis performances. There's songs in all his movies that arevpretty good, too.😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
After his big "comeback" in 1968 is when he started to take on the more flamboyant look and his definitive stage wardrobe. He truly was THE KING of ROCK AND ROLL. Who else could look good in those crazy jumpsuits?
Rumor has it that he started wearing jumpsuits because he kept splitting his pants on stage😀😀
He was a good looking devil, wasn't he?
Elvis starred in a whole series of simple movies where he plays a surfer or a race car driver and they all had musical breaks where all the characters will dance while Elvis sings the new song written for the movie or sometimes covered from another artist. The dance sequences are very family friendly.
Elvis started the lip curl. Billy copied it but he does it well.
Billy Idol was obviously influenced by Elvis. That upper lip...Thank you very much
here is some amazing videos with a lot of dancing - [ SUSPICIOUS MINDS ] & [ WHAT'D I SAY ] & [ BURNING LOVE ] & [ POLK SALAD ANNIE ] & BOSSA NOVA ] so many more ! thank you !
The original of blue suede shoes was by Carl Perkins and Elvis took his hit and made it an Elvis huge hit and famous part of his musical legacy.
Back then as far as I'm concerned there was Elvis and then there was everyone else. And today there is Elvis and then there is everything else. But he started in suits and regular clothes in the 50s then after that it was many years of movies and few concerts but by 69 70 the jumpsuits and bling came. His extra weight came very near the end. RIP. I saw him at the Fairground arena in 1970. One of the biggest highlights of my life
People talked about him ordering 3 banana splits and then going to the bathroom to throw up. I think Elvis life got pretty sad toward the end. He was spiraling out of control on the pills and the lifestyle.
Yes!!!
Back then there was Elvis and even better (imo) there was Chuck, Jerry Lee, Little Richard, Buddy, Fats, CARL, Roy and Johnny.
And I'd add to any list, Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran. In fact Gene was considered a rival, but after a motorcycle accident he was physically limited and hence could never be the performer that Elvis was.
I'd also add that the weight did come on late in life, and was due to medical problems--I can't remember the specifics, but my doctor treated Elvis in his later years and told me this. No doubt diet and drugs also contributed, but apparently it was largely related to health problems.
Please please do Elvis’ “American Trilogy”- 1973 live “Aloha from Hawaii” version. Incredible performance!
So, I know this comment is late, haha, but... Elvis wasn't exactly "toned down" in the 50s, by 50s standards. For instance, he had a gold lame suit, and he loved wearing pants with pink stripes down the sides, loud suit jackets, etc. He stood out big time in the 50s, it's just... most of that footage is in black and white. 😂 The jumpsuits started in/around 1970, the first year after he returned to live performing after 9 years making movies. They got progressively more elaborate as the years went by, and Elvis liked them that way, they were part of the show to him.
Super cool reaction, and I'm going to second 'Teddy Bear;, for "fun" 50s Elvis along with 'Treat Me Nice', 'Don't Be Cruel', and 'Ready Teddy'. But because my favorite Elvis is late 60s/early 70s, I'll recommend a double header of 'The Wonder of You' and 'You Don't Have To Say You Love Me' since no on ever recommends those! ( th-cam.com/video/Y59yBBbJC6E/w-d-xo.html )
Buddy Holly Carl Perkins Chuck Berry Eddie Cochran Fats Domino Gene Vincent Jerry Lee Lewis Little Richard Rick Nelson Roy Orbison The Everly Brothers Bill Haley Brenda Lee Dion
Elvis personally enjoyed singing Southern Gospel music. Listen to Elvis sing “Never Walk Alone.” Elvis only won two Grammys and they were both for his Gospel songs.
His contemporaries were folks like Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Little Richard off the top of my head. The roots of rock and roll that inspired rock bands of the 60's and 70's and expanded from there.
Yes, along with Carl Perkins, Buddy Holly etc...
Johnny Cash sang with Elvis and was getting pretty famous at that time.
@@tonyhomant244 - Yes, Buddy Holly is my answer.
Great choices! They were all amazing! And rock and roll would never have been what it was without any one of them. They ALL had important contributions to make.
I suggest his song: Trying To Get To You off his 68 Comeback special
There were many talented and successful entertainers in the 1950s, but Elvis didn't really have a lot of challengers, thus he was referred to as, "The King".
Elvis' trademark look is often copied. Some go for the 50s look, while many go for the Las Vegas circa 1969 jumpsuit style.
The singer song writer who released this first and had a bigger hit with it was the original recording and wrote it was probably number 2 was Carl Perkins BLACK OAK ARKANSAS PLEASE !
I’m sure one of the most played songs at weddings has to be “Can’t help falling in love with you”. Such a classic. “A little less conversation” is another fun Elvis song you guys should check out.
I chose love me tender for my wedding.
Funny you should mention. This was originally recorded by Carl Perkins and it was to be his launch song. Carl got in a bad car accident and couldn’t perform for a while. Elvis totally took advantage of that and recorded this version. Carl never got the fame Elvis did but he has some seriously good songs. The Beatles even covered a few of his songs.
Carl's version is superb.
Carl's version is heard a lot more often these days than Elvis'.
Thank you, you put it perfectly
Carl Perkins was a hero of George Harrison's, and you can certainly hear it in his playing.
I like Carl Perkins’ original version better, to be honest.
Look for the Tom Jones interview about Elvis .They we’re close friends and Tom had some really funny stories about Elvis
Check out "Bossa Nova Baby". He gets down on this one. To your question, the reason why you mostly don't hear a #2 is really because there was no #2, or 3, or 4, or 5. Elvis left many way behind. Now there were many imitators, Rick Nelson, Fabian, Gene Vincent, etc. Lastly, the "Iconic" look was actually right there, early in 1956 as Elvis appeared nationwide. Elvis made that look his and popular ever since.
The little lip curl thing was a signature Elvis, for sure. And that drop in the register was also like his signature 'note.' Everybody loved those things. Kid-appropriate songs would be Don't Be Cruel, Return to Sender, and Viva Las Vegas
He was in the womb with his twin, born earlier. I feel like his brother was hugging him close, cheek to cheek.
This was his screen test for his role in "Love Me Tender," his first movie. Don't know if you've noticed but THERE'S NO STRINGS ON THE GUITAR!! These were the years when he was a teen idol. Elvis was able to do any type of music and do it well. One of my favorites is "Can't Help Falling In Love With You." One of the best ballads ever. Keep on keepin' on. BCNU..
"Bossa Nova Baby" is a fun Elvis song to dance to, along with "Hound Dog"
I think it's great you are introducing your kids to Music. The Icons like Elvis.. I think they woukd Enjoy a QUEEN song next.. Kids like BICYCLE RACE. They sing the chorus over and over.. WARNING the chorus will stick in your head all day 😉👍 time your kids hear some Freddy. OH and i just remembered dont play the official video for the kids. Not sure why they did what they did in the video but not appropriate for children. In my opinion. The song is okay for kids tho.. do the non video song for your kids.. the words are okay.. the visuals in the video arent ok for kids..
Love Elvis. Always .
Put on my blue suede shoes and I boarded the plane
touched down in the land of the delta blues in the middle of the pouring rain.... Walking in Memphis by Marc Cohn the most beautiful song about the king of rock and roll.
P.S. I'm one of those people who is absolutely sure that I met Elvis after he supposedly died.
I've been waiting for them to do this song. Jay will love the piano, and Amber will love his voice.
Yessss!!!! Cannot wait until the discover this song and Black Velvet.
@@scapito Absolutely! I would love to see them do the Alanna Myles version of Black Velvet
@@ronnix23 yep!
@@scapito black velvet is so smooooth
Elvis suggestions: Hound Dog, Heartbreak Hotel, King Creole.
Also Trying to Get to You from his '68 Comeback Special
Everything changed for Elvis after he left the military and did his comeback tour in 1968. He did a live special on tv which was amazing. He wore all black leather. HOTNESS!! just sayin'.
Kemarie Black....your review of that comeback tour/special is right on. I watched it on our local PBS station. I started watching it and my husband said he wasn't going to watch it and he went to bed. By the time the concert was over, Elvis and that black leather outfit had my juices flowing. I went to bed and my poor husband didn't know what hit him. lol It was a great concert. Peace.
Elvis Was the original, he put black rocking blues into the mainstream, with a whole lot of Rock-a-billy naturally built in. The first of every seismic shift is unproduceable.
This was Elvis's cover of a Carl Perkins song. Carl made it a hit, Elvis made it a bigger hit.
iconic Elvis songs..."Love Me Tender" and with Christmas coming you don't want to miss "Blue Christmas." He made several movies as well...you might want to check some of them out.
there ya go! Blue Christmas!
Lesser known but a great Christmas song, It's Christmas Time Pretty Baby. Elvis kills that one
You need to listen to You Ain't Nothin But A Houndog by Elvis
Another side of Elvis you should check out is him singing Gospel. I highly recommend "How Great Thou Art" live. It is absolutely amazing.
👍
He was obviously before my time, but definitely check out “Hound Dog,” the version fro, The Ed Sullivan Show. It’ll give you an idea of how entertaining he was, and how the teen girls just adored him. I’ll admit I hadn’t actually watched much of Elvis and after watching your reactions I decided to check out more videos, and I totally get it: he was one fine-looking man 😍
Hound Dog would probably be kid appropriate for your girls. And 50s I mean I guess Ricky Nelson was popular in the late 50s early 60s as well and was also considered a teen idol. My favorite from him is Lonesome Town.
Elvis had four records that hit #1 on the pop, country, and R&B charts - all three. Those were “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Hound Dog,” “Teddy Bear,” and “Jailhouse Rock.” He had huge crossover appeal.
Billy Idol is a huge Elvis fan and does the lip roll because of his love for Elvis. Elvis did it first.
Amber, I’m totally with you about Elvis memorabilia. My sister got me a silk screen Elvis jacket, hubby got me a limited edition Are You Lonesome Tonight (my all time fave ballad by him) collector plate as well as a gold record from Teddy Bear… Honestly, I think Teddy Bear would be the perfect song for the girls!
Jerry Lee Lewis considered himself a serious competitor with Elvis, and he was certainly a contemporary.
Check out, "party doll" by buddy knox, 1957, a fun song too
You want Elvis moving and grooving? Get your hands on Elvis duetting with Ann-Margret "What'd I Say" from the movie Viva Las Vegas. It's a scene from the movie and that single scene can be found on youtube pretty easily. Peace out.
After the 50s, he had success in movies in the 60s. Then came the 68 comeback special he transitioned to the white jumpsuit in the 70s.
The 68 comeback special it's my all-time favorite of Elvis.
The stage clothes era started when he started headlining in Las Vegas.
Roberta Flack tomorrow please!
"Killing Me Softly"
"First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"
Your ears and soul will thank you ❤️
As Led Zeppelin and Elvis fans, thought you might like this story:
In 1973 he met with Led Zeppelin members Robert Plant and John Paul Jones in Los Angeles. An idol to the members of Led Zeppelin, Elvis wanted to meet "who was outselling him" at concerts (Zeppelin was in the midst of a record-breaking tour that year). A meeting was arranged with Plant and Jones. Plant was so awestruck at meeting his idol in person that he could barely speak to him. Jones, nearly as awestruck as Plant, made small talk with the "King," and mentioned what a beautiful watch Elvis wore. Elvis, always the generous one, instantly traded his $5,000 gold and diamond watch for Jones' $10 Mickey Mouse watch. This broke the ice with all of them, and they became fast friends. Throughout the early 1970s members of Led Zeppelin even attended a few of Elvis' concerts, and were granted the privilege of sitting in the front row by the King himself!
Elvis didn't really have any competition until just before he went into the army then he did from Jerry Lee Lewis
You have to do Suspicious Minds, IMO the best Elvis song, but everyone has there own personal fav, the live version on the early 70s in Las Vegas is incredible performance !
Another good reaction team RSquad
Correct me if I’m wrong but this song was in the first era of Elvis, why his voice was so pure and strong, the comeback era after the army and disappointment of movies he’d obviously changed and matured then the 3rd and final era was his final era, post marriage Vegas, death etc still remember the day in 77 I was a kid, it was massive news sad.
Ladies and gentlemen Elvis has left the building,…….!
Who was number 2 Elvis once said Roy Orbison had the best voice in Rock n Roll, but you had Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis you reacted to the other day, Gene Pitney, Rick Nelson, Bobbi Darin, Frankie lane, Chubbie Checker, Chuck Berry, Frankie Avalon, Otis Redding, so many bands, but aid say second to Elvis was probably Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, Holly was 22 and Valens 17 when the music died. In that plane crash that killed them and the Big Bopper, if you haven’t reacted to By Bye Miss American Pie by Don MaClean then you should, but because Elvis spoke so highly of Roy Orbison you’d have to put him in there alongside those, prob many others, not my era, but my parents always played this music.🤘
Amber, you should do "Teddy Bear" for the girls. by the KING.
Everyone knew Billy Idol was doing Elvis' lip moves.
Was gone for the last couple of weeks and am trying to get cought up with all of your reactions. It's getting close to that time of year, so I think you should react to Elvis's "Blue Christmas". My favorite Christmas song. Love you guys. Keep up the good work.
I agree with other comments I’ve read.. Devil In Disguise is a must hear! Suspicious Minds, Love Me Tender, & Can’t Help Falling in Love with You are all sooo good!
London has Big Ben, France has the Effiel Tower, Italy has the Cysteine Chapel. We have ELVIS! 🎤 drop.
You all had the best today, Knocked it out of the park! AC/DC - Supertramp and Elvis, A plus, plus! WOW! Great job. Fun Elvis songs for kids.....Teddy Bear.
Future Elvis songs: Hound Dog, Can’t Help Falling in Love, & Don’t Be Cruel.
........And 'Burning Love'!
You should react to Elvis's song" Surrender" it's a beautiful song and it shows the versatility of his voice, also the 70's Elvis is amazing too.
His dancing was considered scandalous when he first came on the scene. When he was on the Ed Sullivan Show, he was only shown from the waist up.

Now that you've heard this iconic tune and been introduced to Rockabilly at the same time you should consider *"Guitar Man"* it's also a happy song...
Three contemporaries: Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper and Richie Valens. And when their plane crashed on February 3rd 1959 it saddened the world so much that that day became known as
"The Day The Music Died", and yes, that's what made Don McLean write
*"American Pie"*
Thanks

Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard were contemporaries but never as big as Elvis.
If you want a good fun elvis song for the girls then you could try rock a hula or teddy bear, I think they’d enjoy these 😊

And Wooden Heart from the G.I. Blues movie. With a little German lyrics.. Elvis served in the military in Germany. Here is a clip with the wooden doll + translations in English.

#2 Probably Ricky Nelson imo
big time artists around that time were bb king, chuck berry, little richard. stuff like that. they were great too.
Some upbeat/kid-friendly Elvis songs:
Bossa Nova Baby (Fun in Acapulco)
“Rock-a-Hula Baby”, “Ito Eats”, and “Slicin’ Sand” (Blue Hawaii)
(Let’s Have a) Party
Wooden Heart (scene from GI Blues)
70-80% of his movie songs are upbeat. Usually the quality lessens as the years go on, but there are gems from most of his 31 feature movies.
