This song was written and performed by Simon and Garfunkel in 1969. He clearly loved the song and added it to his list of songs to sing. He added the gospel parts to it because in Las Vegas he arranged all of his music including his singers. He had male and female singers that added to the beauty of the songs. No one like him. He played piano, guitar and watch ❤

No one told ELVIS what to do in studio. Elvis was born 1935, he didn’t do street drugs but had a lot of health problems but yes he was addicted. There will never be anyone like him again . I ever get tired of listening to him . He is The king 👑
This is one of my favorite Elvis songs! I became a huge fan about 5 years ago thanks to reaction channels!❤❤ of course I knew who Elvis was and even a few songs, but growing up in the 80's wasn t the common music. I think seeing his stage presence and talent amazed me. And his deep beautiful voice is just so soothing.
Elvis had no vocal training, and he produced all of his recordings after he left Sun records in 1956, having learned production from Sam Phillips.He was very trim most of his life, this concert having a 32" waist. He was plagued by medical problems and genetic abnormalities his whole life, as was most everyone on his mother's side. Many died very young. He took prescription drugs to sleep since he had insomnia his whole life. He started uppers in the Army, when on maneuvers. He was not into hard or street drugs, other than a few times trying Marijuana. He tried LSD once out of curiosity. He was one of the hardest working entertainers ever, along with James Brown, who was a dear friend of his. Long live the King and the Godfather!! Thanks for your great reaction. 🔥❤️🔥❤️
Elvis Presley was born January 8, 1935, in Tupelo Mississippi He died August 16, 1977, in Memphis Tennessee (from cardiac arrest) Elvis`s career lasted for 24 years. He was "overweight" for 2 years before his death and that was mainly due to his health problems. He wasn`t as overweight as he was bloated, because his internal organs were slowly shutting down. Yet everybody is constantly talking about him as being overweight. The media have really done their piece by constantly repeating the same old same old lies. What do you mean by "He gained weight"? In this performance, he is in great shape and has a flat stomach. Elvis is an American National Treasure and should be treated as one. Children should learn about him in school in order to avoid all the ignorance concerning this important artist who influenced the musical world like no other modern artist. I don`t care what anybody says, Elvis had his reasons for taking prescription drugs. He didn`t die because of the drugs. He would have died with or without them. Elvis was 42 when he passed. His mother took no drugs, and she died suddenly at the age of 46 (from a heart attack), just like many of Elvis`s relatives on the maternal side of his family, who died very young. On January 12, 2023, Elvis`s daughter Lisa Marie Presley died suddenly at age 55 from cardiac arrest. Thank you for your reaction to this wonderful performance and song that was originally by Simon & Garfunkel.
So great to read from a fan that is informed. Because of fans like you I am now a fan. Such lies out there about this kind and and so talented man. This man was a gift from God and we should always give him respect for his contribution in music but also his humanity. I just am in gratitude for Elvis fans.
this was written by Paul Simon of Simon and Garfunkle who originally recorded it and also was great. alot of singers recorded this song but Paul Simon said Elvis is the one he said did it best. When he heard him sing live his comment was (HOW THE HELL AM I GOING TO COMPETE WITH THAT)

This is Elvis at his absolute best, he was in perfect condition, aged 35yo here and only weighing in around 170lb so that tbh is not over weight. He really out together such a backing of musicians and singers around him. Elvis was not into hard drugs, he got hooked sadly on uppers and downers to keep him functioning and then progressed to pain killers and strong anti depressants around 1974 onwards, but at this time in 1970 life was actually really good, his marriage was still intact, he daughter was 2yo, he was breaking all Vegas records, he was recording hit music and he was just taking his concerts back in the road and touring the USA to sold out arenas every time. To answer your other question Elvis started out in 1954 and by 1956 he was a world wide hit. nice reaction thanks

Elvis was no musical genius, get off the drugs. In order to be a musical genius you need to be able to read and write music, since Elvis could do neither, your comment is a waste of space and time.
He had the bling and the swag, but there was always that core part of him in all of it. He had a personal Jeweler that traveled with them and he would load Elvis up with expensive rings and then Elvis would gradually give them out to members of the audience and then when he was empty, he would go back and get loaded up again.
That's an excellent point about how he seems to love every song that he sings any loves interacting with his band also, which as a guy who has played in bands my whole life, I just love that about him. What a lot of people don't realize is that he was a very talented and gifted arranger as well. He arranged most of everything you see happening there, and even from his early days in the mid-1950s when he was so young, he always managed to attract the best musicians to be around him.
I agree... He never got credit for producing and arranging his music. If you watch the documentary That's the Way it is... You will see him, he is in charge and knows how he wants the music to sound.
Elvis was 35 in this video he died only 7 years later 💔 This is a Simon and Garfunkel song, Elvis covered. And yes he was a master of all genres of music. He didn't have any vocal training. His gift was from God and he was definitely Heaven sent. Thanks for your great reaction ❤
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 Elvis was not a writer, neither was Whitney Houston, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Patsy Cline, Linda Ronstadt, Aretha Franklin and on and on. Yet Elvis is the only superstar picked on and for what?
Elvis sang from a very young age in church, his voice has been analysed as having perfect pitch over 3.5 octaves, with rich Tenor and baritone levels. He could sing any genre and could have song opera. Pavarotti said Elvis could sing like him, but Pavarotti could never sing like Elvis!! 👌🕺💕

Thanks so much for doing this. No, only prescription meds because he was sick and didn’t get into it as he became more sick. He’s one of the most emotive singers I’ve ever heard. He loved music. He loved to sing. He was so talented.
During maneuvers in the army his Sargent gave him uppers like Dexedrine to stay awake during night duty. He got addicted. But than later needed downers …all were prescription.
Enjoyed your reaction 😊 Elvis was at his peak here he died 1977, he was addicted to prescription drugs 😢 he was introduced to sleeping tablets and uppers when he was in the army he thought because they were prescription drugs that he wasn't an addict, he used more than he needed he suffered from glaucoma had an auto immune disease had emphisia (disease of the lungs) his whole body was in pain 😢😢
Yeah, that's about right. He didn't have any formal training but once he was further on in his career he got some pointers but all that stuff's there from the very beginning, you can tell. To me what's great about it is his training is better than any formal training because it was in black gospel churches.
Elvis was REALLY healthy here. Prime time NO DOUBT. Prime lasted until about 1973. Starting in 74 you could see him gain weight. However Elvis was never really FAT. Most of the visible weight was some scary levels of inflammation. His colon was 3 TIMES THE SIZE that it should have been. His heart was enlarged too. Elvis was 6'1 and probably never weighed more than 240 at his absolute worst. Maybe not even. So we arent talking the Human Beat Box from the Fat Boys here. Elvis JUST GOT GRAVELY ILL. And being who he was, HOUNDED by the press. He just couldnt go to the doctors like a normal human being. his immense fame put him in contact with the wrong hanger-ons that were there to collect a paycheck,,,, they killed him.

You are correct as to his God given talent as Elvis actually produced his own records and no one ever really told him what to do. He worked very hard to be so good, however, and was his own toughest critic!!! Great channel!!!
Oh and I wanted to say, the famous opera singer Luciano Pavarotti once said about Elvis, something to the effect of, if Elvis head had real formal training growing up, he may well have turned out to have been the greatest opera singer of the 20th century.
Prescription pills was all ,Elvis does put everything in to each song ❤❤❤thanks for your reaction have you to Elvis's x-rated blues session, awesome, trying to get to you 68 comeback special
I don’t know what previous videos you’ve seen yet, but Elvis was very fit in this 1970 time period. He worked out with expert karate instructors. He did have a dependency on prescription drugs for many years. He would take them to sleep after shows, then to wake up before shows. He was enabled by his doctors, and the staff around him. This was before the time of the Betty Ford clinic and strong regulation against prescription drug abuse. I always recommend if you are interested in learning about Elvis’s history to try and explore his performances chronologically. Thank you for sharing!
Elvis was born in 1935, came to stardom in 1956, had a 23 year career and died at the age of 42 in 1977. This is a cover of Paul Simon's famous hit, and when Paul heard it he said "what am I suppose to do now, after Elvis did it". this performance was in 1970. Paul recently said "I took my son to see Elvis Grave at Graceland and weep when I saw it" His effect on music and culture was what everyone tries to reproduce. I would like to say to all the Elvis impersonators, stop, please you are doing more harm to Elvis. Elvis was given prescription drugs by his doctor he never did street drugs. He gained weight? Here his weight was 167 lbs here on a 6ft frame. What are you watching? Elvis really didn't get the weight problems until the last 3 years of his life. Thanks
He never had a voice lesson in his life he never read music he played guitar piano and drums by ear,he done all his musical arrangements mostly,there is a video of him rehearsing this song,elvis heart colon and liver were twice the normal size he also suffer from glaucoma he was bloated because his major organ were failing,he took prescription medications as his conditions worsened he was taking to many pills,he died when he was 42 so weeks after his last performance and was due on tour again the day he died his band and back up singers were on route to his next concert when they hear about his death.
I learned that both Elvis' mother and father had Native American Cherokee heritage going back generations. I guess that's where he gets his color. They also had European, Scotland, Ireland, German. His identical twin brother, Jesse Garon, was a stillborn. His health he inherited from his Mom's side. Heart disease ran in their side of the family. When he gained weight, the heart disease had started, there were signs of fluid. He died at 42 years of age from a heart attack, his mother died from a heart attack at 46. If he were alive today, he would have just had his 89th birthday. I enjoy your reactions and the way you want to find out things, not just rush through, "let's get to the next one".👍👍👍
BRO, From Minnesota's biggest ELVIS fan I say THANK YOU for responding to your ELVIS fans' requests. Just a comment, he had inherited health issues from both of his parents. And since his twin brother died at birth, drew him closer to his mother. She died just around the time his career was taking off, and unfortunately the doctors were only too quick to prescribe pills to sleep, and to wake up. His music career was too short, but he left us some legendary memories to remember him.
This is originally a Simon and Garfunkel song. Paul Simon heard Elvis perform this and said How Do I top that. Their version is beautiful too, but I love Elvis's the best
All of the comments abt pills and weight...just give it up !!! So many judgemental people out there !! ELVIS IS UNTOUCHABLE...COULD SING ANYTHING AND STILL IS SO POPULAR TODAY...E..YOU ARE THE GOAT 🎤🔥🎼❤...TCB ⚡
I like the question you are asking, Elvis did not have a singing lesson, when he was at RCA he produced all his albums and let someone else take the cridted for it, he was a pill addicted that started in the army on upper and downer but his voice never let him down, yes he did make over 740 songs knew about 90%of them. Thank you for your reaction
If You want to learn more about Elvis, I'd Recomend the Documentary the Searcher and The 2022 Biopic Movie E L V I S, It Did take Some Artistic Licence but overall it was a pretty accurate Depiction of his Life and Career IMHO. Elvis Began to have some health problems in the "70's" but unfortunatly he hired a Doctor to go on tour with them and he began to prescribe meds, at first sleeping pills and Anphedamines and then As Elvis's Health problems increased the Doctor gave him Pain Meds and he eventually became addicted. After Elvis's Death in 1977, the Doctor was stripped of his License to practice Medicine in a Court of Law, for over prescribing dangerous levels of drugs to his Patients.
Yes this was approximately when the increase use of prescription drugs was taking off. 1969 Elvis in Vegas, he was amazing. Each following year you can see and hear the changes taking effect.
Old School..I heard u once ask what did T.C.B. stand for ..It meant Taking care of business... Anyone in Elvis' group was given a chain with those initials on it ..Thanks for ur reaction..
Actually he was in 6 Halls of Fame: Gospel R&R R&B Rock-a-Billy Country Pop He Is Still To This Day, The Top Selling SOLO Artist Of All Time According To The Guinness Book of World Records, With 1.5 Billion Records (8 Tracks, Cassettes, CD's Digital) Sold World 🌎 Wide !!
He got addicted to prescription medication.he hated hard drugs.but because they came from a doctor he said it was ok to take. He only put weight on from 1975 to 77.
Prescription drugs! He had insomnia and that's how it started! He was born in 1935. The last four years of his life was hard on him! He had some medical problems and personal ones too. Not to mention, he never was allowed to do what he really wanted to do. Like go over seas, act in a serious movie! He was just worked to death with the same thing over and over! Yes he was over weight in the very last years but none of us cared and his voice was as brilliant as ever!!! RIP Elvis we all love ❤️ 😍 💖 you forever ❤🎉❤!!!
You are absolutely right! He did allow it to happen ! He would not stand up to Parker. Only one time and that was the 68 Comeback Special . It was supposed to be a Christmas show but Elvis did it his way and was the most watched show on TV for ithink that period of time! I don't have my head in the sand about Elvis! He made some bad choices but like he said, he was only a man! So therefore he was not perfect. But he was so good in so many other ways. We as long term fans accept him and love him, even with his faults! He was called The King of Rock for a reason by people all over the WORLD and has remained so for nearly 70yrs. I'm so glad the younger generations have started finding him and appreciate him. His is a legacy that will never be forgotten!!! Luv to Elvis forever ❤️ 💙
Yeah, he was an addict but he was not a junkie. He got hooked on prescription drugs because of his lifestyle and deteriorating health, among other things. His talent and passion never left him, though.
TWO health issues that are not spoken of as much as drugs (1) he inherited the genetic condition A-1 antitrypsin causing COPD/emphysema & began needing an inhaler to help him breath; at one point on his '68 special sit down segment he touched his throat & said hold it, i'm out of breath, wait a minute, but in typical Elvis fashion he just laughed & continued on; he had a bit of breathinf difficulty at his outdoor interview in Hawaii (2) he had painful glaucoma & mid-70's had emergency in-office eye surgery; the mega bright house lights & stage lights were hard on his eyes & began wearing prescription sunglasses out of need, not just to look cool. He sang every song, whether slow or upbeat, w-an amount of emotion & passion that came from his soul & his gut like no one else ever. You'll need to locate some good legitimate documentaries to learn about his life. This one th-cam.com/video/CrJ1c9tm-C0/w-d-xo.html is about what he did for charity that was never highly publicized. Thank you.
It came out not too long ago that he also had EDS. It causes multiple health problems at one time like the glaucoma and bowel issues. It also comes with constant ongoing pain. The dr who wrote a book about it is the only person who had access to all of his medical and autopsy reports because he testified at Dr. Nick's trial. Unfortunately back then doctors didn't really know what EDS was abd the testing for it hadn't been invented yet.
@@toodlescae Many things were not known then, just as issues we don't understand now may one day be understood yrs. from now, i.e, MS, Parkinson's, etc.. I don't know which dr. you are referring to but there is on the web very lengthy detailed info by a dr. including charts of everything in his system; also included is the fall he had cracking his had on (if i recall correctly) the bathtub causing traumatic brain injury (TBI also known as STBI severe traumatic brain injury) w-effects both physical & mental that it can cause over time. There are tests now for this.
@@carolhayar3037 This came out in 2021. In a new book entitled “The Strange Medical Saga of Elvis Presley,” Dr. Forest Tennant, a retired physician who specialized in pain medicine and addiction treatment, explores the fascinating medical history of Elvis. He's the one who talks about EDS.
Elvis used a lot of energy & emotion even during rehearsals. If you're interested, watch Elvis's rehearsal of "Polk Salad Annie." In doing so, you will also notice (if you've not already) that Elvis 'conducts' everyone on stage with a backward look, side look, differing movements of his hands, etc. Elvis didn't follow the band's lead; they followed him. This was also true when he was in the recording studio. Aside, this clip is from Elvis's "Elvis On Tour" concert that was taped in 1970 in Las Vegas. One of his other videos you watched "If I Can Dream" was from the "Elvis Comeback Special" which aired in 1968. Elvis was considered to be at his ideal weight of 170 lbs at 6'1" during the taping of "That's The Way It Is." The video clip of rehearsing "Polk Salad Annie" is here: th-cam.com/video/hv6Epy3pjUc/w-d-xo.html
Get to know a little about him at a rehearsal session --"In the Studio 1970" th-cam.com/video/gm6aW8sJsjg/w-d-xo.html ; be aware that Elvis has more than one version of his songs -- each version is different -- he never did the same thing 2ce, never repeated himself, so when someone makes a suggestion be aware that there are 2, 3 or maybe 4 other versions, some may be better quality. Comparisons are interesting: "Jailhouse Rock" the rehearsed choreographed version from his 1957 film th-cam.com/video/MfrC8PAQtlg/w-d-xo.html (3:28 min.) & his free rousing stand up version from the '68 TV special th-cam.com/video/87N6Qa0D7KY/w-d-xo.html (1:50 min.) -- short enough so you can do one then the other & see the difference in how he changed & evolved over 11 yrs. Btw, the films dancing was choreographed by Alex Romero who was never given credit, w-input from Elvis & the great Gene Kelly (most people think Elvis choreographed it all himself); Romero also choreographed Elvis in Clambake, Double Trouble & Speedway. Thanks.

There is a comment below from a person who goes by the name Depper. This person has stolen the identity of a dead man who died more than two years ago. This is called identity theft. If you know who he is, you have a legal obligation to inform the proper parties. It is a serious crime and is punishable of prison time up to 14 years.
You hit the nail on the head, when you realized that Elvis loves every songs that he sings!
Great Reaction to the Greatest
This is the sublime and supreme Elvis Presley version.
The one and only King of Music 🙏🏼💯🎸🕺⚡❣️
The best voice in rock
He recorded over 1000 songs. he had a photographic memory for music and lyrics. He was a musical genius.
Elvis was no musical genius, get off the drugs. In order to be a musical genius you need to be able to read and write music, since Elvis could do neither, your comment is a waste of space and time.
He had the bling and the swag, but there was always that core part of him in all of it. He had a personal Jeweler that traveled with them and he would load Elvis up with expensive rings and then Elvis would gradually give them out to members of the audience and then when he was empty, he would go back and get loaded up again.
He’s a gangsta …love the bling! He’s GOAT ..Too bad you don’t have Elvis playlist
He was the greatest and will always b❤
Always makes a song his own. Like old rock.
“Elvis and the black community “. Only prescribed. I subbed. Thank u very much
That's an excellent point about how he seems to love every song that he sings any loves interacting with his band also, which as a guy who has played in bands my whole life, I just love that about him. What a lot of people don't realize is that he was a very talented and gifted arranger as well. He arranged most of everything you see happening there, and even from his early days in the mid-1950s when he was so young, he always managed to attract the best musicians to be around him.
I agree... He never got credit for producing and arranging his music. If you watch the documentary That's the Way it is... You will see him, he is in charge and knows how he wants the music to sound.
Elvis didn’t take voice lessons. God gave him his talents. Love this man!
Right, natural God given talent. Elvis said in an interview, that he vocalizes every day. Elvis was an autodidact.
along with woman abuser, paedophile and drug addict, nice work god.
Amazing reaction. More please 💕💕💕💕
Elvis was 35 in this video he died only 7 years later 💔 This is a Simon and Garfunkel song, Elvis covered. And yes he was a master of all genres of music. He didn't have any vocal training. His gift was from God and he was definitely Heaven sent. Thanks for your great reaction ❤
Other than the songs Elvis had written for him, every song he sang was a cover.
I get the feeling you don't care for Elvis! Why is that!?
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 Elvis was not a writer, neither was Whitney Houston, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Patsy Cline, Linda Ronstadt, Aretha Franklin and on and on. Yet Elvis is the only superstar picked on and for what?
@@donnaqueen8766 Elvis was and always will be the great white hope for white America.
@@nancy9891 Elvis was marketed to an all white audience. The ones you mentioned, were not.
Elvis sang from a very young age in church, his voice has been analysed as having perfect pitch over 3.5 octaves, with rich Tenor and baritone levels. He could sing any genre and could have song opera. Pavarotti said Elvis could sing like him, but Pavarotti could never sing like Elvis!! 👌🕺💕

React to Elvis 1973 Aloha From Hawaii concert "What Now My Love"....He is the man what controlled the stage.😀
Thanks so much for doing this. No, only prescription meds because he was sick and didn’t get into it as he became more sick. He’s one of the most emotive singers I’ve ever heard. He loved music. He loved to sing. He was so talented.
During maneuvers in the army his Sargent gave him uppers like Dexedrine to stay awake during night duty. He got addicted. But than later needed downers …all were prescription.
I’m young and and a huge Elvis fan, my son is 14 & loves Elvis too. EP rocks man! ❤⚡️⚡️
Born in Tupelo but Memphis was home until he died August 16, 1977
A vocal masterpiece!
‘I’m on your side’ ….how he looks at his girls and smile warms my heart. 🔥
Enjoyed your reaction 😊 Elvis was at his peak here he died 1977, he was addicted to prescription drugs 😢 he was introduced to sleeping tablets and uppers when he was in the army he thought because they were prescription drugs that he wasn't an addict, he used more than he needed he suffered from glaucoma had an auto immune disease had emphisia (disease of the lungs) his whole body was in pain 😢😢
Yeah, that's about right. He didn't have any formal training but once he was further on in his career he got some pointers but all that stuff's there from the very beginning, you can tell. To me what's great about it is his training is better than any formal training because it was in black gospel churches.
Elvis was REALLY healthy here. Prime time NO DOUBT. Prime lasted until about 1973. Starting in 74 you could see him gain weight. However Elvis was never really FAT. Most of the visible weight was some scary levels of inflammation. His colon was 3 TIMES THE SIZE that it should have been. His heart was enlarged too. Elvis was 6'1 and probably never weighed more than 240 at his absolute worst. Maybe not even. So we arent talking the Human Beat Box from the Fat Boys here. Elvis JUST GOT GRAVELY ILL. And being who he was, HOUNDED by the press. He just couldnt go to the doctors like a normal human being. his immense fame put him in contact with the wrong hanger-ons that were there to collect a paycheck,,,, they killed him.
I think Elvis was 6ft but who cares when u can perform like him.

He was born in tupelo Mississippi moved to Memphis about 12 lived in public housing.
Tengo unos ipots....increíble cómo se escucha esa voz...ESPECTACULAR
You are correct as to his God given talent as Elvis actually produced his own records and no one ever really told him what to do. He worked very hard to be so good, however, and was his own toughest critic!!! Great channel!!!
❤❤❤❤
Do more Elvis 😍
More Elvis please, 68 come back special,
Oh and I wanted to say, the famous opera singer Luciano Pavarotti once said about Elvis, something to the effect of, if Elvis head had real formal training growing up, he may well have turned out to have been the greatest opera singer of the 20th century.
Prescription pills was all ,Elvis does put everything in to each song ❤❤❤thanks for your reaction have you to Elvis's x-rated blues session, awesome, trying to get to you 68 comeback special
By the time he was about 20 years old, he started supporting his mother, father, some cousins and friends. He supporting them until he died.
I don’t know what previous videos you’ve seen yet, but Elvis was very fit in this 1970 time period. He worked out with expert karate instructors. He did have a dependency on prescription drugs for many years. He would take them to sleep after shows, then to wake up before shows. He was enabled by his doctors, and the staff around him. This was before the time of the Betty Ford clinic and strong regulation against prescription drug abuse. I always recommend if you are interested in learning about Elvis’s history to try and explore his performances chronologically. Thank you for sharing!
Elvis was born in 1935, came to stardom in 1956, had a 23 year career and died at the age of 42 in 1977. This is a cover of Paul Simon's famous hit, and when Paul heard it he said "what am I suppose to do now, after Elvis did it". this performance was in 1970. Paul recently said "I took my son to see Elvis Grave at Graceland and weep when I saw it" His effect on music and culture was what everyone tries to reproduce. I would like to say to all the Elvis impersonators, stop, please you are doing more harm to Elvis. Elvis was given prescription drugs by his doctor he never did street drugs. He gained weight? Here his weight was 167 lbs here on a 6ft frame. What are you watching? Elvis really didn't get the weight problems until the last 3 years of his life. Thanks
He's in 5 hall.of fames including gospel
He never had a voice lesson in his life he never read music he played guitar piano and drums by ear,he done all his musical arrangements mostly,there is a video of him rehearsing this song,elvis heart colon and liver were twice the normal size he also suffer from glaucoma he was bloated because his major organ were failing,he took prescription medications as his conditions worsened he was taking to many pills,he died when he was 42 so weeks after his last performance and was due on tour again the day he died his band and back up singers were on route to his next concert when they hear about his death.
Older. Elvis was Beautiful at this time.
Thanks for the View & Comment!
How about not being concerned about his prescription drug habit or weight gain but his talent and generous heart.
I learned that both Elvis' mother and father had Native American Cherokee heritage going back generations. I guess that's where he gets his color. They also had European, Scotland, Ireland, German. His identical twin brother, Jesse Garon, was a stillborn. His health he inherited from his Mom's side. Heart disease ran in their side of the family. When he gained weight, the heart disease had started, there were signs of fluid. He died at 42 years of age from a heart attack, his mother died from a heart attack at 46. If he were alive today, he would have just had his 89th birthday. I enjoy your reactions and the way you want to find out things, not just rush through, "let's get to the next one".👍👍👍
Great reaction, your right about the drugs all were prescribed but back then everyone thought if your doctor prescribes it , it’s ok . Sad 😢
❤
BRO, From Minnesota's biggest ELVIS fan I say THANK YOU for responding to your ELVIS fans' requests. Just a comment, he had inherited health issues from both of his parents. And since his twin brother died at birth, drew him closer to his mother. She died just around the time his career was taking off, and unfortunately the doctors were only too quick to prescribe pills to sleep, and to wake up. His music career was too short, but he left us some legendary memories to remember him.
In 1970 he was 35.
This is originally a Simon and Garfunkel song. Paul Simon heard Elvis perform this and said How Do I top that. Their version is beautiful too, but I love Elvis's the best
All of the comments abt pills and weight...just give it up !!! So many judgemental people out there !! ELVIS IS UNTOUCHABLE...COULD SING ANYTHING AND STILL IS SO POPULAR TODAY...E..YOU ARE THE GOAT 🎤🔥🎼❤...TCB ⚡
Elvis Presley 👑
1935-1977
As much of a fan I am of Elvis IMHO this is Art’s song
The King of Rock and Roll and the King of Swag for sure.
I like the question you are asking, Elvis did not have a singing lesson, when he was at RCA he produced all his albums and let someone else take the cridted for it, he was a pill addicted that started in the army on upper and downer but his voice never let him down, yes he did make over 740 songs knew about 90%of them. Thank you for your reaction
If You want to learn more about Elvis,
I'd Recomend the Documentary the Searcher and The 2022 Biopic Movie
E L V I S, It Did take Some Artistic Licence but overall it was a pretty accurate Depiction of his Life and Career IMHO.
Elvis Began to have some health problems in the "70's" but unfortunatly he hired a Doctor to go on tour with them and he began to prescribe meds, at first sleeping pills and Anphedamines and then As Elvis's Health problems increased the Doctor gave him Pain Meds and he eventually became addicted. After Elvis's Death in 1977, the Doctor was stripped of his License to practice Medicine in a Court of Law, for over prescribing dangerous levels of drugs to his Patients.
Yes this was approximately when the increase use of prescription drugs was taking off. 1969 Elvis in Vegas, he was amazing. Each following year you can see and hear the changes taking effect.
His career started 1954 he died 1977.
Simon and Garfield sang a beautiful rendition of this song later. Nobody like Elvis!!❤
I’m fan and I ain’t that old…lol
Elvis.. the first King of Bling
Old School..I heard u once ask what did T.C.B. stand for ..It meant Taking care of business... Anyone in Elvis' group was given a chain with those initials on it ..Thanks for ur reaction..

He got addicted to prescription medication.he hated hard drugs.but because they came from a doctor he said it was ok to take. He only put weight on from 1975 to 77.
Prescription drugs! He had insomnia and that's how it started! He was born in 1935. The last four years of his life was hard on him! He had some medical problems and personal ones too. Not to mention, he never was allowed to do what he really wanted to do. Like go over seas, act in a serious movie! He was just worked to death with the same thing over and over! Yes he was over weight in the very last years but none of us cared and his voice was as brilliant as ever!!! RIP Elvis we all love ❤️ 😍 💖 you forever ❤🎉❤!!!
and Elvis allowed it to happen.
You are absolutely right! He did allow it to happen ! He would not stand up to Parker. Only one time and that was the 68 Comeback Special . It was supposed to be a Christmas show but Elvis did it his way and was the most watched show on TV for ithink that period of time! I don't have my head in the sand about Elvis! He made some bad choices but like he said, he was only a man! So therefore he was not perfect. But he was so good in so many other ways. We as long term fans accept him and love him, even with his faults! He was called The King of Rock for a reason by people all over the WORLD and has remained so for nearly 70yrs. I'm so glad the younger generations have started finding him and appreciate him. His is a legacy that will never be forgotten!!! Luv to Elvis forever ❤️ 💙
Yeah, he was an addict but he was not a junkie. He got hooked on prescription drugs because of his lifestyle and deteriorating health, among other things. His talent and passion never left him, though.
TWO health issues that are not spoken of as much as drugs (1) he inherited the genetic condition A-1 antitrypsin causing COPD/emphysema & began needing an inhaler to help him breath; at one point on his '68 special sit down segment he touched his throat & said hold it, i'm out of breath, wait a minute, but in typical Elvis fashion he just laughed & continued on; he had a bit of breathinf difficulty at his outdoor interview in Hawaii (2) he had painful glaucoma & mid-70's had emergency in-office eye surgery; the mega bright house lights & stage lights were hard on his eyes & began wearing prescription sunglasses out of need, not just to look cool. He sang every song, whether slow or upbeat, w-an amount of emotion & passion that came from his soul & his gut like no one else ever. You'll need to locate some good legitimate documentaries to learn about his life. This one th-cam.com/video/CrJ1c9tm-C0/w-d-xo.html is about what he did for charity that was never highly publicized. Thank you.
It came out not too long ago that he also had EDS. It causes multiple health problems at one time like the glaucoma and bowel issues. It also comes with constant ongoing pain. The dr who wrote a book about it is the only person who had access to all of his medical and autopsy reports because he testified at Dr. Nick's trial.
Unfortunately back then doctors didn't really know what EDS was abd the testing for it hadn't been invented yet.
@@toodlescae Many things were not known then, just as issues we don't understand now may one day be understood yrs. from now, i.e, MS, Parkinson's, etc.. I don't know which dr. you are referring to but there is on the web very lengthy detailed info by a dr. including charts of everything in his system; also included is the fall he had cracking his had on (if i recall correctly) the bathtub causing traumatic brain injury (TBI also known as STBI severe traumatic brain injury) w-effects both physical & mental that it can cause over time. There are tests now for this.
@@carolhayar3037 This came out in 2021. In a new book entitled “The Strange Medical Saga of Elvis Presley,” Dr. Forest Tennant, a retired physician who specialized in pain medicine and addiction treatment, explores the fascinating medical history of Elvis. He's the one who talks about EDS.
1935 he was born.
No!!! He was not on drugs!! He was sick dude and he was not fat!!!
They call him the voice of emotion react to American trilogy Aloha from Hawaii live concert 1973,over 1.5 billon people watch it
Paul Simon wrote "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" from Simon and Garfunkel.
Sorry I just paused.. That mans voice was just beyond smooth.. WTF... can anyone out there today sing like him... I'm saying NO God given gift.
Elvis used a lot of energy & emotion even during rehearsals. If you're interested, watch Elvis's rehearsal of "Polk Salad Annie." In doing so, you will also notice (if you've not already) that Elvis 'conducts' everyone on stage with a backward look, side look, differing movements of his hands, etc. Elvis didn't follow the band's lead; they followed him. This was also true when he was in the recording studio. Aside, this clip is from Elvis's "Elvis On Tour" concert that was taped in 1970 in Las Vegas. One of his other videos you watched "If I Can Dream" was from the "Elvis Comeback Special" which aired in 1968. Elvis was considered to be at his ideal weight of 170 lbs at 6'1" during the taping of "That's The Way It Is." The video clip of rehearsing "Polk Salad Annie" is here: th-cam.com/video/hv6Epy3pjUc/w-d-xo.html
Get to know a little about him at a rehearsal session --"In the Studio 1970" th-cam.com/video/gm6aW8sJsjg/w-d-xo.html ; be aware that Elvis has more than one version of his songs -- each version is different -- he never did the same thing 2ce, never repeated himself, so when someone makes a suggestion be aware that there are 2, 3 or maybe 4 other versions, some may be better quality. Comparisons are interesting: "Jailhouse Rock" the rehearsed choreographed version from his 1957 film th-cam.com/video/MfrC8PAQtlg/w-d-xo.html (3:28 min.) & his free rousing stand up version from the '68 TV special th-cam.com/video/87N6Qa0D7KY/w-d-xo.html (1:50 min.) -- short enough so you can do one then the other & see the difference in how he changed & evolved over 11 yrs. Btw, the films dancing was choreographed by Alex Romero who was never given credit, w-input from Elvis & the great Gene Kelly (most people think Elvis choreographed it all himself); Romero also choreographed Elvis in Clambake, Double Trouble & Speedway. Thanks.
❤👑👑👑👑👑❤
Elvis sang EVERYTHING. Better than the original artists. This song was by Simon and Garfunkel…if I recall correctly
"Rio" react to the on stage live song in 1973 " What Now My Love".......Fantastic😀
Elvis prime was 1955-1977. He was in "legal" drugs.
