I was 6 yrs old when elvis died I remember my mom.was such a big fan of elvis she's play his records all the time so I grew up knowing who elvis was at an early age and was always a fan of elvis thanks to my momma he was such a handsome sexy man ..I wish I could have seen him perform in person I bet it was amazing
When a guy who has been dead for longer than he was alive but still drive women wild... I don't think there's a word for it except Elvis. The voice is so unique and powerful that it's a marvel on its own but putting it with his looks and charisma was God showing off when he made this man. Elvis was the birth of fangirls.
I have actually never heard that Elvis song... and I like Elvis. I'm so glad I ran across your video... thank you very much. I think Elvis would be in trouble if he ever had the chance to meet you 😲
The drummer was hired for being able to not only be a world class drummer, but to improvise just by watching Elvis. Ronny Tutt. He was the last to audition before his come back. The guy that auditioned before him used his drums and initially got the gig. He talked them into letting him go ahead and play since his drums were already set up. He was so good and his chemistry with Elvis took off from there. Anytime you see Elvis moving with the drums like that, in any song, it's the two of them working together to make the magic happen.
No one will ever do it like Elvis Presley period!! God broke the mold with this man, his charisma, moves, stage presence is unmatched. It make me happy watching your reaction I love it. I know people love him just as much as I do today in 2023. God bless you
I remember the day Elvis died . I rode my motorcycle over to a girls house and when I got there her mom was sitting on the floor in front of the tv sobbing and I was struck by her grief ! I was 17 and I guess her age was 38 ish . She said I would never understand but I do now .once in a lifetime there’s someone like Elvis
Elvis had a swag voice sense of humor stage presence I matched in the day he was rewriting the rack and roll record books. The only music artist I know in the rock country rhythm and blues and gospel Hall of Fame. Elvis was a true prince from another planet.
Bill belew designed elviss jumpsuits. He did the costumes for the dancers in the 68 special and Elvis loved how the dancers were able to move. He asked bill to design some for him , and he did! They’re amazing.
Elvis was at his peak here. He had a 32 inch waist, he was athletically fit, impeccably well dressed; he had the moves, the voice, and an umatched palpable charisma.
He oozed sexiness!! Everyone on that stage was not only magical, but had to watch his every move because his body controlled them. Lol Bridge Over Trouble Water Live in Vegas 1970.
@@RobertNorthrop You watch him and the first thing you think is sex therefore was an icon of sexual revolution of the 50s. Of course his voice was iconic but as an artist was more than that. I love him.
@@loukiasykallou4266 Yes! Elvis was born with that energy/vibration in his voice & body. So sad he did not read books about natural healings/integrative medicine. from Kentucky
@@lorellelewis2258 In those days alternative medicine was not so popular and known like today. Anyway I think that the only person that could save Elvis was Elvis. He knew what he was doing believe me.
The story is Jerry Scheff the bass player, was asked to come to a rehearsal and see if he wanted to tour. He was not an Elvis fan but went telling his wife he wanted to check it out for fun. When he came home and his wife asked how did it go, he simply said "pack your bags we are going on tour.
Chain Gang...Yes in Jail Sally made the Gator look Tame. There will Never be another Elvis, Elvis was so influenced by the Black Rythem n Blue and Gosspal music. He loved everyone. My mom would play his music with me growing up and would tell me how TV tried to Ban Elvis for his moves, would only show em Waist Up on TV for the moves that won him the name Elvis The Pelvis...They describe it in the Movie..But Never Be another Elvis Presley !! He left us way to soon !!!
I am 63 years old, and my parents loved Elvis. I liked him when my peers didn’t. However, there will never be another like him. It is great to see the younger generations love him as much as we did.
Yes = generations of today. My 18 year old grandson (Coltin) reintroduced me to Elvis July 2022. When Coltin was a baby and could not sleep, Katrinka (our daughter) would play Elvis' love songs. Coltin is in aviation school now. I'm thinking these 2 men understand high-vibration! 💓 from Kentucky
@@lorellelewis2258 WOW! Great comment, Lorelle ❤ I will certainly introduce Elvis to my grandson when he comes to visit. Yesterday was his 1st birthday :))) I think he and Elvis will go along perfectly :)
Elvis had a good sense of humor 😊...he loved his fans so much..beautiful person inside and out..I've been a fan for 50 years..so glad to see young people love and appreciate E...love your reactions 😊❤
I'm caregiver to an elderly gentleman who was born the same year as Elvis (1935). He LOVES Elvis and shared stories with me when he saw him in concert 2x! I love how Elvis transcends generations and men & women luv him. You said it: iconic 👏 ❤️🔥🎵
Want to see just how much respect & love his fans had for Elvis? Want to see the touching performance Elvis did for his fans whom he appreciated so much? This loving gesture by Elvis had never been done nor ever been duplicated by any other entertainer during a concert. See what Elvis did, Love Me Tender, Live in Las Vegas, 1970. 🥰
Bill Belew helped design most of Elvis' clothes, both on and off stage. He said that Elvis had great design sense, but he needed someone to put the extra flare in his costumes. He was famous for a different white suit, that had a cape designed with it.
@@bamafan62 The original poster mentioned Bill Belew designed some of “on and off stage” clothes. Lansky obviously had a hand in Elvis’s “off stage” styling.
Hi, Britt! Elvis' costume designer was Bill Belew. He designed outfits for Elvis Presley, Dionne Warwicck AND The Jacksons, to mentione some. He had responsibility forElvis Presley's costumes and personal wardrobe from 1968 until Presley's death in 1977.
As I read your comment "the sexiest man ever", the vision came to me of something I did about 20 years ago. I was working in an office of an automobile company that made the components of doors. As I was walking in an aisle, I looked to my left and saw an Elvis picture. Maybe a calendar or 16"18" poster. It was a closeup, from chest up, dressed in black. I moved to the picture, the man at the desk made room for me so I could get closer for viewing. About 20 seconds later I said "Raw Sex". I turned and walked away. Then I thought, I could not believe I said that out loud. 🥰 from Kentucky
My dad was a mega fan. I became a fan. We went to Graceland EVERY summer. I have a piece of Elvis artwork in every room in my house including the bathroom. ❤ I'm sitting here watching your reactions, by coincidence, in an Elvis shirt lol.
What a performance. International Hotel, Vegas 1970. Elvis at his performing peak. And even when he doesn't get to stretch out vocally - as on this song - his stage presence is off the charts. If you haven't reacted to "Bridge Over Troubled Water", "Just Pretend" or "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" from the same show (or series of shows), you really should. They are incredible.
Elvis: That’s the way it is. Is a awesome documentary on Elvis, and he’s connections with his, band, back singers and mostly his audience. That’s why he was so special his audience was basically part of his concerts. I played this with my late mom, who had dementia and still remembered all the words to his music. Only one Elvis
Refreshing to see a young girl having the musical taste for real talent and skill. Gives me hope! Elvis had such an incredible vocal instrument, and he always gave a world class performance.
I'm 53 yrs old and I've been listening, watching Elvis since I was 5yrs old my grandmother introduced me to his music and movies so when ever I hear a song or see him it reminds me of her ❤️❤️🎵🎵🎵
Tony Joe White, who wrote this song, is another Southern rock and roll singer with a similar voice to Elvis. but the epitome of a rocker is Elvis. When I was young Elvis was buried in his (mostly) dire movies and crooning. This 70s comeback was more to my taste, and showcased his power. In 89-90 I spent some time in the South, Virginia and North Carolina, and got a real feel for what this stuff means.
"Made the alligators look tame." Chain gangs were inmates chained to each other doing work outside supervised by guards in the deep South. I don't think women were on any chain gangs. The performance of this song didn't evidence his vocal power. But he did a lot of other songs live which demonstrated his vocal prowess. I appreciate your reactions very much.
It’s fun watching younger generations discover Elvis and reacting the same way we did when he was alive. He was a cultural phenomenon and an American icon. Elvis truly is a rabbit hole worth going down and the further you go, the more you will respect/love him and realize he was a lot deeper than most entertainers. You are right about the song being about Civil Rights. Heartbroken about the news of Martin Luther King’s assassination Elvis sat down with songwriter Walter Earl Brown to come up with “If I Can Dream”. The 68 Comeback Special was supposed to be a Christmas Special and end with a Christmas song for America to hear. However Elvis put it all on the line, holding nothing back and standing up for his convictions chose to perform this song as his finale despite those around him advising him not to. Please watch “In the Ghetto” 1970 Las Vegas and note the crowd he is performing in front of. Also watch “Love Me Tender” 1970 concert. What he does will absolutely shock you and possibly make you jealous you weren’t there. Great reaction!
Elvis & producer/director Steve Binder had a lengthy discussion about the assassinations of MLK and Sen. Robert Kennedy & everything going on @ time & Binder asked Walter Earl Brown to come up w-something to reflect the time; the red tie was for the blood shed in Vietnam.
Great reaction to great showmanship! Elvis didn't need autotune, choreography, fireworks or an army of background dancers. Elvis was the show. Another great performance from this period I hope you can respond to is Sweet Caroline. In addition Presley gave us 3 decades of performance. Another reaction request is for the Mean Woman Blues video from '57 where Elvis shows us a little sideways moon walk.
Just to add to that nice comment you made, Elvis is voice, and feeling for music came from even deep in his bones, his left leg was almost always moving. He felt the music because music was him. He never had a singing coach and like you said he just moved to the music that he felt inside him. He was Elvis. That’s who he was. !!!
That was Las Vegas if no one has told you … I grew up an Elvis fan (my now 80 yr old mom was a super groupie !!) This is my favorite “fast” song he did … and I’m so glad you mentioned the background vocals … I swear I think I became as much a fan of the Sweet Inspirations as I did him !!! So glad to see young people still falling in love with all of Elvis ❤
This really showcases what a showman & entertainer Elvis was. And he had a good sense of humor. He really liked wearing these white jumpsuits & it became his staple outfit in a lot of his concerts. "Polk Salad Annie” is a 1968 song written & performed originally by Tony Joe White.
His musicality is just off the charts. Just watch as he lands that jump at the exact moment!! No pre Choreography the man is just something else!. Off this plant, pure raw talent.
Extraordinaire !! C'est le King 👑 pour encore trés trés longtemps !! Quelle voix !! Quel charisme !! UNIQUE !! Pas un ne lui arrive à la cheville pour le moment !! Le plus grand !! 👍👍👍👍👍💖
The visual performance is amazing, awesome. The way he moved was very special. But his vocals are great too here, the tone, the quality and the dimension of it all is awesome. Elvis was one of a kind for sure, named the King of Rock and Roll for good reason. What an icon! And he had a beautiful spirit too, very soulful, which contributed to his overall charm.
Whitney Houston’s mother, Cissy sang for awhile with his back up group, the Sweet Inspirations. In an Oprah interview, Whitney said she met Elvis when she went with her mom to rehearsal. Oprah asked, “did you talk to him.” Whitney gave her a look & said “NO, it was ELVIS”.
I have enjoyed watching your reactions to Elvis. I have been a fan of Elvis since I was around 9 or 10. I am now 69 and continue to react th him. He is absolutely unbelievable. I don't think there is anyone that can compare to him. To me, you have to listen and watch to really understand the depth, sincerity, voice and everything about him.
When God created my friend Elvis he was just showing off. I can't tell you how much i love and miss him, there is not a day that goes by that i don't think of him and all the memories we made in 10 short years, his death knocked the wind out of me i have never been the same since, Elvis was the big brother i never had. He is also my guardian angel. Graceland is my go to place when it get's to hard to live w/o my friend i go there and walk around and remember Elvis and all the beautiful times we had together. He was the only person in my life that understood me and cared about my feelings and opinions. What it comes down to is we both needed a true friend and we were that for each other. Awesome reaction. God bless you and your family from the one and only Memphis Tn. Fun fact he loved to make funny noises with the microphone there was NOTHING!!!!! sexual about what he did with the Microphone. My nickname for him was Sexy Jello we laughed about that all the time he thought it was hilarious.
I'm 53 and grew up on Elvis. So, I luv it when younger people discover him and see their reactions. I think you have the best reaction, so far....you are ALL IN girl! And that's the way Elvis should be seen! Hope u continue to listen and watch him...there's so much more!
Love watching you react to our beautiful Elvis! He was truly amazing! So happy that you enjoy him. He was so very sexy… he just let his body move to the music. He voice was effortless! You have to listen to his laughter! It’s beyond words!! 🔥⚡️🤍
You are right, his voice is and was iconic, but then again everything he did was passionate, he had a deep love of the south and loved the negro music, he was blessed with a drive to have all peoples equal. his costumes when you see them all at Graceland are remarkable but each one i am told had a message. He was a great showman, a good American and loved his country, A visit to Graceland opens up your eyes, i think this guy was the ultimate enteratiner.
Time for you to react to a 21 year old Elvis on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1956. You’d REALLY enjoy watching those videos and we’d enjoy watching you react to them. Thanks!
Thanky uo for appreciating Elvis. The man used his god given talents & body to sell songs way before it was common place, in fact way before it was even allowed. There was only ever one KING.
Elvis is confident in everything he is and does but he has something a little extra too. There are confident men everywhere but Elvis has command of something that isn't available to every man and to see that it even translates through video is mind blowing.
Crazy and tragic because privately, he was insecure and shy. And felt suppressed, by his management, and especially in his acting, as he was pigeonholed into music movies but wanted to be a serious actor like James Dean. Makes you appreciate the icon he was, that he struggled with so much but achieved far more.
Elvis was born to be the greatest entertainer ever, he had music and charisma throughout his whole body. Elvis was the king event entertainment, and no one can come close, and never will.
Glad you are amazed by Elvis. I think he always gets new fans. This concert was included in the 1970 documentary called Elvis, That’s the way it is. This is my favorite. So many of those songs are awesome. His female group were the Inspirations. One of the women was Whitney Houston’s Mother. Elvis got a lot of his Dance moves from Karate.
I grew up on a dairy farm in the South and I have picked a lot of Polk Salet and cooked it. It's really good if cooked correctly. I was also taught that it is spelled "Polk Salet. "
It's funny watching women today still getting mesmerized by Elvis.
Im 44 born after he died, but i think he is truly one of the sexiest men ever. My mom saw him twice she was a huge fan!
Ooh darling ya look so Elvis tonight.
I was 6 yrs old when elvis died I remember my mom.was such a big fan of elvis she's play his records all the time so I grew up knowing who elvis was at an early age and was always a fan of elvis thanks to my momma he was such a handsome sexy man ..I wish I could have seen him perform in person I bet it was amazing
why would it be funny... he's the King

He should’ve left this one alone, kinda awkward, tony joe white was the coolest dude everrr
I’m an Elvis fan , but this is a mess , compared to the original
The greatest single entertainer that ever lived 👑
Amen!
By far!!!
He was a performer for any generation. His voice was so AMAZING and unlike no other. He is still AMAZING to this day. Greatest perfomer ever
Never in this lifetime or any other will there be a man such as this!!!!! 💘💘 🔥 🔥

He never had a singing coach and like you said he just moved to the music that he felt inside him. He was Elvis. That’s who he was. !!!
Bill Belew made all his jumpsuits and clothes ❤
That was Las Vegas if no one has told you … I grew up an Elvis fan (my now 80 yr old mom was a super groupie !!) This is my favorite “fast” song he did … and I’m so glad you mentioned the background vocals … I swear I think I became as much a fan of the
Sweet Inspirations as I did him !!! So glad to see young people still falling in love with all of Elvis ❤
God Bless You for keeping Elvis alive !!!
This really showcases what a showman & entertainer Elvis was. And he had a good sense of humor. He really liked wearing these white jumpsuits & it became his staple outfit in a lot of his concerts. "Polk Salad Annie” is a 1968 song written & performed originally by Tony Joe White.
Tony Joe White was a class act. I love his version of this song. Brook Benton's version of Tony's "Rainy Night in Georgia" is iconic.
Tony Joe is the best. Love all his swamp fox stuff... the guy had a Evils look to him too.
His musicality is just off the charts. Just watch as he lands that jump at the exact moment!! No pre Choreography the man is just something else!. Off this plant, pure raw talent.
Elvis will always have a special place in my heart ❤️ He sang from the depths of his soul. And very easy on the eyes 😘
YES! ! ! Serious eye-candy.
Extraordinaire !! C'est le King 👑 pour encore trés trés longtemps !! Quelle voix !! Quel charisme !! UNIQUE !! Pas un ne lui arrive à la cheville pour le moment !! Le plus grand !! 👍👍👍👍👍💖
The visual performance is amazing, awesome. The way he moved was very special. But his vocals are great too here, the tone, the quality and the dimension of it all is awesome. Elvis was one of a kind for sure, named the King of Rock and Roll for good reason. What an icon! And he had a beautiful spirit too, very soulful, which contributed to his overall charm.
Please please do more Elvis songs there’s no one better period the king of music!!!!
Bill Belew was the man who designed "The Kings" clothes, on and off the stage.
Elvis for ever the king .😍🥰🌩️🍀☘️👌✌️👍🙏🤩🙃😇🤗😜
Still one of the sexiest performances of all time. I was 9 when he died and have been a loyal fan ever since. Always the KING
Just beautiful
What a spectacular performance! I wish I could have seen Elvis live in concert .
I've only got to see Elvis 3 times live that was not enough
Elvis Presley was great 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The King, nuff said. Greatest showman ever, with a charisma that is frightening.
I love this!!
Whitney Houston’s mother, Cissy sang for awhile with his back up group, the Sweet Inspirations. In an Oprah interview, Whitney said she met Elvis when she went with her mom to rehearsal. Oprah asked, “did you talk to him.” Whitney gave her a look & said “NO, it was ELVIS”.
Very emotional comment please more Elvis. 🇦🇹🇦🇹
I have enjoyed watching your reactions to Elvis. I have been a fan of Elvis since I was around 9 or 10. I am now 69 and continue to react th him. He is absolutely unbelievable. I don't think there is anyone that can compare to him. To me, you have to listen and watch to really understand the depth, sincerity, voice and everything about him.
I love Elvis he is truly the king. It's so nice to see someone else really enjoying the man😊
You have a new fan girl!! Love your reactions on Elvis ❣ Keep them coming! x
my favorite outfit also!
That's why he's called THE KING 👑(for eternity)

When God created my friend Elvis he was just showing off. I can't tell you how much i love and miss him, there is not a day that goes by that i don't think of him and all the memories we made in 10 short years, his death knocked the wind out of me i have never been the same since, Elvis was the big brother i never had. He is also my guardian angel. Graceland is my go to place when it get's to hard to live w/o my friend i go there and walk around and remember Elvis and all the beautiful times we had together. He was the only person in my life that understood me and cared about my feelings and opinions. What it comes down to is we both needed a true friend and we were that for each other. Awesome reaction. God bless you and your family from the one and only Memphis Tn. Fun fact he loved to make funny noises with the microphone there was NOTHING!!!!! sexual about what he did with the Microphone. My nickname for him was Sexy Jello we laughed about that all the time he thought it was hilarious.
That’s why they call him King of rock and roll
I'm 53 and grew up on Elvis. So, I luv it when younger people discover him and see their reactions. I think you have the best reaction, so far....you are ALL IN girl! And that's the way Elvis should be seen! Hope u continue to listen and watch him...there's so much more!
I'm 51 and I'm just starting to get into Elvis. I just didn't get Elvis when I was younger.
I sooo look forward to your Elvis reactions! You're toooo adorable. 🙏🤗🫂❤️💯
Love watching you react to our beautiful Elvis! He was truly amazing! So happy that you enjoy him. He was so very sexy… he just let his body move to the music. He voice was effortless! You have to listen to his laughter! It’s beyond words!! 🔥⚡️🤍
Elvis is the MAN!!!!!
The king😍😂😍
You are right, his voice is and was iconic, but then again everything he did was passionate, he had a deep love of the south and loved the negro music, he was blessed with a drive to have all peoples equal. his costumes when you see them all at Graceland are remarkable but each one i am told had a message. He was a great showman, a good American and loved his country, A visit to Graceland opens up your eyes, i think this guy was the ultimate enteratiner.
Time for you to react to a 21 year old Elvis on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1956. You’d REALLY enjoy watching those videos and we’d enjoy watching you react to them. Thanks!
One of the best songs
He’s gonna sing. But first he’s gonna get those women worked up. King of the PDC.
great band as well btw
Excellent you should hear him do suspicious mind .I think you will like it👍👍👍👍👍
Thanky uo for appreciating Elvis. The man used his god given talents & body to sell songs way before it was common place, in fact way before it was even allowed. There was only ever one KING.
The coolest man that ever lived…
Haha It wasn't a story about a woman named Polk Salad Annie. Her name was Annie and she'd go pick some Polk Salad greens. Absolutely great song.
Elvis is confident in everything he is and does but he has something a little extra too. There are confident men everywhere but Elvis has command of something that isn't available to every man and to see that it even translates through video is mind blowing.
Crazy and tragic because privately, he was insecure and shy. And felt suppressed, by his management, and especially in his acting, as he was pigeonholed into music movies but wanted to be a serious actor like James Dean. Makes you appreciate the icon he was, that he struggled with so much but achieved far more.
Elvis was born to be the greatest entertainer ever, he had music and charisma throughout his whole body. Elvis was the king event entertainment, and no one can come close, and never will.
So entertaining watching you watch him. He was THE MAN !!
Glad you are amazed by Elvis. I think he always gets new fans.
This concert was included in the 1970 documentary called Elvis, That’s the way it is.
This is my favorite. So many of those songs are awesome.
His female group were the Inspirations. One of the women was Whitney Houston’s Mother.
Elvis got a lot of his Dance moves from Karate.
I grew up on a dairy farm in the South and I have picked a lot of Polk Salet and cooked it. It's really good if cooked correctly. I was also taught that it is spelled "Polk Salet. "
love it
been there
Una canción en vivo de Elvis equivale a un concierto es tan intenso tan espectacular que parece IRREAL por eso es y será el REY ELVIS 😘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
