the other great thing about Elvis is that he kept every single gift or letter a fan sent him or gave to him on stage and that the Graceland Estate still has it all archived
I saw him in concert I’m proud to say!’ He was so spontaneous you couldn’t take your eyes off from him because he would say or do something. Great sense of humor. Love my man ❣️❣️
What made Elvis exceptional and loves by the whole World was his resistance on trending controversy during his time. He loved all people in a time that there was so much hate and division. He embraced those differences that most people in the world run from or are afraid to confront. He challenged those who challenged others. His charisma and dance styles came from Black Men and Women he called family and friends in a time that it did not exist in. He pushed back and walked on stage like a King with his friends and family and didnt care what anyone felt or said about it. He forced change and brought it right to their faces.
Elvis was different from the beginning... his fashion, hair, sideburns, voice, looks, energy, charisma, masculinity.... and that X-factor.. And it is strange that you can watch this Polk Salad Annie again and again, and it remains fresh and exiting
I guess im asking randomly but does any of you know a tool to log back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my account password. I love any help you can offer me!
during his Las Vegas engagements, Elvis would do 2 shows a night!!! imagine keeping that energy for 2 shows....but in the end he wore himself out.. just thankful they filmed some shows so we can see him today.
Elvis was fantastic. Thank you so much for playing Elvis videos. I love him and have for 66 plus years. He keeps me feeling young when I hear his music.
Elvis was just his whole Soul. Beyond Emotional expression..In the 80's & 90's things became too over choreographed..This Elvis Dude is just in the zone with the band and back up singers, and feeling every groove, every kick drum the drummer is chopping. He is just one with the music, in the zone & connected. You have to feel that. It just is!
Saw him live TWICE !! Video can't even come close to describing or displaying his energy. When he got on stage, it felt like True ROYALTY was in presence.
There is so much about elvis its hard to know where to begin . A fixture in America music from 54 to 77. An entertainer who could sing Gospel Rock ballads ect . Heck out his first love Gospel music you won't be disappointed
Elvis would not have changed anything to accommodate the PC culture that has been forced upon us. How do I know? Watch the documentary on Elvis and the black community (2 parts). It will show you just a small sample of the criticism and censorship he had to endure when he first started out. He was called by all sorts of names including the devil himself. He had groups of people wanting him banned entirely from performing. But he never gave up and he never gave in. He stood his ground firmly. The freedom with which today's artists can perform is due in large part to one Elvis Presley. As a former professional musician (now retired), I have often said "What came after him, came because of him."
Hey Best One. I just happened to come across your channel a few days ago and I saw you did Elvis vids! I saw a cpl and automatically subscribed! Now I can't get enough of the Elvis videos. They are the only ones I've seen. Elvis is The King! Btw, another Elvis Fun Fact: When Elvis played Vegas, he always did 2 shows a day and sometimes 3! NO Artist before or since has ever done that or could do that and sell out every show. Another EFF: Elvis was the FIRST artist that MADE money for the casinos and hotel(s). They used to use artists with big names to play to get ppl into the casinos. Elvis brought people from all over the world to Vegas so they gave him a Gold Belt as the King of LAS VEGAS.!
That was another great reaction. It's so cool to see first time reactions especially to Elvis, Elvis has the greatest origins. Watch this is Elvis or Elvis 56. For other doc's to watch are Star's who met Elvis ,or Elvis and the black community. You will see the why he's the king of rock and roll. For a request, too me his truly most epic song performances is American trilogy from his aloha from Hawaii 1973 .This song will give you chills and leave you speechless. Keep up the awesome work you been doing. Rock on
The microphone thing was just a joke - he knew how to entertain his audience and have fun doing it. When you talk about his antics not flying today - his style in the 50’s didn’t fly - check out Elvis and the Black Community. That’s what made him great - his uniqueness
👍great reaction, I think the best documentary you can watch is Elvis the searcher it’s quite recent with commentary from Bruce Springsteen and Tom petty starts of with the early Elvis growing up and how music changed over night when he came on the scene of course with the up most respect to Little Richard , Chuck Berry, he simply had the whole package and took a lot of racial abuse from white folk it’s well worth watching also Elvis 56 his story is one of a kind
If you love him so much already wait untill you learn more you havnt even scratched the surface once you start you can’t stop lol 😂 there so much material .... try king creole , crawfish or hound dog 1956 on the Milton Berle. Show
Elvis's favorite movie with King Creole II was Jailhouse Rock Love Me Tender was okay that was his first movie and then Follow That Dream wild in the country Viva Las Vegas but the rest of them became so formulaic he got bored and Had Creative disappointment but they all were sold out they were money makers because Elvis was not performing on stage at that time that's the only way people could see him so they went just to see him even if the strips or kind of lousy some of them but not all of them then he did The 1968 Comeback Special on television which were really great great reviews feeling very high numbers in the Nielsen ratings. So his manager asked if he wanted to go on tour again because of the success of the television special and so they started touring all over the country and Las Vegas the rest is history!
I went to see Elvis in Charleston , West Virginia I think it was 1972 . He put on a Phenomenal show when you connected with him you absolutely could not take your eyes off of him it was like you were in a trance you didn't want to blink your eyes because you might miss something. I am 75 years old and when I watch these reaction I felt just like you do . I feel sooooo sorry for all of you who didn't get to see Elvis it was something you will never forget.
greatest live performer ever..#thegoat #legend #TheKING..inducted into 7 hall of fames..best solo selling artist of all times! not even close...1.5 billion units sold..2nd place king of pop MJ @ 1billion
At this time his shows were about 2 hrs. What's great about Elvis, is that he was one one with the band. It was an organic melding as they followed his hand signals. Brilliant.
@Old Man BEST you are right on point when you said Elvis was different. Soul Legend Bobby Rush would agree with you. Some people are either born with that or they're not... just like you said he said same thing in his past interviews. "What Elvis had, you can't teach that. You can maybe teach someone to play an instrument, but what Elvis had, you can't teach that. He was special, he was born with that!" - Bobby Rush, Soul legend
Loved your reaction thank god for you tube so we're able to see the Goat Elvis his energy just amazing a great performance as always you can't take your eyes off him he had so much charisma such a funny guy as well Elvis is the stuff dreams are made of thank you stay safe 😷✌
First of all, thank you so much for your channel. Not only because of the Elvis reactions, but some of my other favorite artists. I was fortunate enough to get to see Elvis live in 1974 and the man put on a show like no other and he is dearly missed. I wish you had been around to see him in person, too, because I know that you would've been just as entertained as I was back then. Whether you react to videos or just his music, keep doing what you're doing, my friend and I'll be right here to watch and listen with you. Just an idea, but my favorite Elvis album is and always will be Live at Madison Square Garden from 1972, so if you get a chance to play something from that, I'm sure you'll be as impressed as I was.
He was making a microphone noise just to be funny there was nothing perverted intended.. Elvis was a personal friend i have lived in Memphis since the early 70's i met him when i was 17 yrs old. I won a radio show contest the prize was a day with Elvis. I saw him before he passed we had a short talk i was crying he gave me a kiss on the cheek and said i love ya kiddo i said i love you too E. That was the last time i saw my friend alive again. I walk past Graceland everyday without fail. i live on EP Blvd. much love from Memphis Tn. It's just a song no real people that he's talking about. Elvis was a genuine sweet man and i will never forget my friend. He was not vulgar at all period. The music today now that is straight up nasty.
He gave so much in all his shoes. Sometimes he was doing shows like this twice a day! He barely stopped when he was on these tours And he wanted to make sure he gave it his all every performance! And guess what he did to wind down after a show? He sang! He and his backing singers would sit round the piano and sing gospel songs! You want to see that? Look up "Lead Me Guide Me" and find where they are doing exactly this! It's natural and superb!
I love it. You weren't even born by the time Elvis died and you're definitely an Elvis fan. My 3 sons are Elvis fans, too, but probably because their Mama was Elvis crazy. lol
Exactly, but i have to correct you at one point. He did 2 shows a day. The dinner show and the midnight show. Usually in August and December each for 4-5 weeks.
When Elvis very first started to perform the television stations would only film him from the waist up because they thought his hip gyrations were to sexual. A nickname was Elvis the pelvis, because he shook his hips so much.
Great reaction....a couple of answers for you. His shows averaged about an hour with a few exceptions. He never did an encore..he believed in keeping the fans wanting more...the microphone bit in the mouth was to cause feedback as a joke. there are some documentaries out there. They have both fact and fiction. There are few good books about him. Peter Guralnick did a 2 volume biography. “Last Train To Memphis” and “Careless Love: The unmaking of Elvis...Jerry Phillips a friend from the beginning had a nice book called “Me and a Guy named Elvis”. They are currently in production of a movie now with Tom Hanks as Elvis Manager Colonel Parker and an actor named Austin Butler playing Elvis and due out next November 2021...no name for the movie but it will be along the lines of Bohemian Rhapsody type of biography. It’s being filmed in Australia where they built a set that looks like the showroom from the International from this video.
There's also a biography of Elvis by former Rolling Stone writer Jerry Hopkins. It's a quicker read than the previously mentioned bios but still entertaining. It lays out how things came about and why without imposing a subjective point of view or taking sides.
William Quinlan yeah. I bought that book in 1971/72. It was a good book. I got my first glimpse into Elvis. He was very good at describing how Elvis felt when he first stepped on that stage in Vegas July 31 1969 and from then on I bugged my dad to take me to Vegas and we did finally Aug 24th 1972. Dinner show. WOW
William Quinlan I was 14 and I felt like a little school girl when he walked on stage. I was 20 feet away and the electricity was off the charts. Saw him again in 74 and 76. Both great shows but a little further away. He still blew the roof off the Forum and the Omni.
Not a music video, but vital information. To understand Elvis, you need to understand WHERE he came from. Poorest of the poor. 9yrs old before he owned his 1st pair of shoes. Snuck out his house across train tracks as a young boy to black Baptist churches to sing with choirs during segregation times in the 1950s? who did that? And from that... BAM.. he helped change the way music was made, who'd get credit, and opened up so many doors. Death threats, getting arrested by white gangs and even police were daily obstacles him. Crazy dangerous times. They even tried calling HIM racist to see if they could make him implode. Check this: th-cam.com/video/xd1pXw1DmsA/w-d-xo.html&t
@depper - Good link you shared. My friend is the one that made that video years ago. To everything you mentioned above I would only add that something many Elvis historians have overlooked or missed over the years is we can go further back than Memphis with his going to visit the black church in 1950s segregated times. We need to go further back years before that, in Tupelo when he was a child. People like Sam Bell said Elvis was actually living right across the street from him and how *Elvis was part of the black community*. The myth is that he had to walk to go be around black American musicians, but the reality is *he was living directly among them for some time*. Sam Bell gave one interview about how Elvis as a kid would be the only white child that would be going with him and his family and friends to the gospel tent revivals. Of course later when Elvis and his parents moved to Memphis the natural progression for him as a high-schooler was to visit Herbert Brewster's Baptist Church, as you mentioned above. Extra interesting to history is Herbert Brewster wasn't just a well-known preacher, he was also a legendary Gospel song-writer back in that era and a powerful civil rights activists. He spoke in many more interviews over the years than just the one on my friends video documentary. He spoke in a couple interviews about not only Elvis's legit talent, but he also spoke of Elvis's Humanity and Generosity in one of his interviews. I've always said Herbert Bruster's endorsement and serious respect spoken for Elvis cannot be understated in importance. Anyway. Agree with your points, just adding some extra info
@@JonBurrows3577 If you have it in your mind to wonder how much of the racist hate in that video was real or recreated then I honestly would recommend researching the actual history of that era. (Not Elvis History...I mean serious time spebt research on subject of "Jim Crow 1950s") People like myself that have background & years researching & writing about that specific era know all too well that it was extremely reap ... and even more so than that video showed. His video actually only scratched the surface. It barely showed anything compared to what really was going on. There were mock, symbolic lynchings of Elvis look-alike mannequins and dummies with a rope hung around its neck hung done by crowds of people in various cities and in some college campuses around the country back at that time to symbolize the resentment lot of white folks had for "Elvis singing black music". Charles Connors (Little Richard and James Browns personal drummer) said after a show one night in Texas the police threw Little Richard and the whole band in jail. He said the next morning when they were released, the police told them - "Go tell your n-loving friend Elvis, that when he comes back to Texas we'll be looking for reasons to put him in jail also". All that type nonsense & hate was normal day-to-day stuff happening on the regular. A lot of people have no clue about any of that stuff going on because too much slop historian over the years haven't covered it. But those of us that research deeper find out there was a whole lot of that on the regular going on. Honestly even though my friend made that video, I'm not promoting it, I'm not even the one that shared it on this thread. That was Depper. But his video is only scratching the surface, there is a whole lot more that could be covered on that subject and it would take a much longer video or documentary.
You dont think his antics would fly today do you not see how many elvis reactioners there are, there are thousands of impersonaters his original band an orchestra re enact these concert with him singing on a screen that are attended by thousands his house is the second behind the whitehouse most visited historical home 800,000 a year hes been gone over 40 years an he is still huge.
Sexist man God ever created and i am so blessed to have had Elvis as my friend. love from Memphis Tn. love your reactions very sweet and nice thank you.
No Elvis would not change for anyone. Just remember it was frowned apon to move like he did in the 50s 60s but he did it his way and thank the Lord he did.
You've got to check out his last two documentaries toward the end of Elvis and then he also made 33 feature films which were actual storylines there were movies but the very beginning the early early Elvis from 1956 and then he got he got drafted at the height of his career in 1956 he served two years in the Army then came back and did feature films then went back on the television special and which became to be known as his comeback where he's actually performing with a live audience and it was a one-hour variety special and it was such a hit he wanted to go back on tour like he did in the early fifties so it was like considered his comeback and then he started in Vegas you should see that response in Las Vegas he was like Supernatural and heater for the rest of his life check out all the Google sites that read a book called me and a guy named Elvis by Jerry Schilling that was because it was his best friend one of them the most trustworthy Source the other books were written by people with we're not is closed except there was one called what happened and get the backstory on that and that was about Sonny West and red West his bodyguards which they came to be known as the Memphis Mafia you can see a lot of Google sites then there is a thing from Hollywood is called lucky stars by meeting Elvis Presley and you see all reactions when people talk about how it was when I met him but there is much more on him but you can start there LOL
Oops I meant to say the 68 Comeback Special on television where he's wearing a black leather jacket it was a 1 hour special you can get the whole thing but I'll know Google it just shows him when he's singing in the black leather jacket with it is a variety to the special if you want to check that out they have to probably buy the CD for that
old man best The Aloha From Hawaii concert is by far his GREATEST over all performances. Every song...he gave all. American Trilogy from this is GENUIS, he felt everything, all the way down to the ting of the bell !!!
Check out the movie with Kurt Russell Elvis its very good or This is Elvis a great documentary with actors and live and private footage . Also on utube elvis a generosity heart And there's one on elvis and the black Community
I saw his last concert he ever did in my city. I was in the nose bleed section. He was a little white spec moving all around. I tell you what, I couldn't see him, but I heard him loud, and clear. His final song was "Hurt," and he shook the building like thunder. I'll never forget that. Check out that song if you like.
First of all, he would not be PC on issues because he wasn't racist and would not agree with how people are treating this country. Elvis would tell people to chill and be real with each other.
If you haven't checked it out yet, American Trilogy from the aloha Hawaii special. It was shown by satellite all over the world with over one and a half billion people Andover 30 some countries, no one to this day has accomplished such a feat, not even close. But you'll get an idea by that song of his incredible vocal range. Plus you'll really get to hear his incredible voice.
Some people believe it may have been as high as 2 billion people watching it which was half the world's population at the time. Some countries had like a 90 viewership which is insane.
Elvis had to perform 2 shows a day sometimes 3 on a Saturday and Sunday, he would do this for 6 weeks straight with no break, all while his manager was gambling elvis' money away. Elvis was burnt out after doing shows like this, who knows what would and could have happened had elvis lived to sack Tom Parker, he had already talk to and agreed to be managed by the same people who managed led zeppelin, he had plans to rest, get fit and tour the world coming here to the UK first. On his last holiday in 1977 he told his crew his plans but then the unthinkable happened, which was lucky for his manager as he made more money with elvis dead then he would had he lived.his manager showed no emotion or grief losing elvis, Its great to see people like you showing the respect to elvis and showing people that he wasn't someone to ridicule because of his problems, he was an amazing entertainer whose music is still relevant today.
Hi. If Elvis were alive today and performing he wouldn't change a thing about what he did on stage. But then again, he'd be in his 80s. In the 70s his shows were roughly an hour. Check out the Documentary "Elvis On Tour". It chronicles a 1972 15 city tour. You'll see some excellent performances. Good luck to you. You have a great channel. TCB⚡
To learn more on who and how he was. Best documentary to date, release 2018, HBO. Elvis, The Searcher Two parts, about 4 hours. It is very very good and factual, with great stuff in it
Great reaction bruv. Keep heading down this rabbit hole. Tiger man 68 comeback special is mental, but so is everything from that concert. Good job bro💯💯👏👏👊
Elvis said, "Rythm is something you either have or you don't have, but when you have it, you have it all over."
And Elvis had it from his head to his toes!! 2021
Elvis was, is and will always be the greatest 👑 ❤🙏
Elvis was a gift from God. Pure perfection
Never ever will be anyone like Elvis, i am glad I was brought up with his music, The King OF Entertainment !
the other great thing about Elvis is that he kept every single gift or letter a fan sent him or gave to him on stage and that the Graceland Estate still has it all archived
I saw him in concert I’m proud to say!’
He was so spontaneous you couldn’t take your eyes off from him because he would say or do something. Great sense of humor. Love my man ❣️❣️
I saw two Elvis concerts 75& 77
Elvis was a once in planet event.
Great way to put it. 👍
Damn. King!
The man was amazing!! Best live performer ever!! No redo's no second takes!!
What made Elvis exceptional and loves by the whole World was his resistance on trending controversy during his time. He loved all people in a time that there was so much hate and division.

I guess im asking randomly but does any of you know a tool to log back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb forgot my account password. I love any help you can offer me!
@Lyle Elias Instablaster ;)
The way he commands his band especially Ronnie Tutt with his body is something else. Absolute master!
during his Las Vegas engagements, Elvis would do 2 shows a night!!! imagine keeping that energy for 2 shows....but in the end he wore himself out.. just thankful they filmed some shows so we can see him today.
He had a serious heart condition as well. And was on several medications.
Elvis was fantastic. Thank you so much for playing Elvis videos. I love him and have for 66 plus years. He keeps me feeling young when I hear his music.
Elvis.. he is a legend. In concert --- no auto tune, no lip sync all real. When he is on stage, you hear him and him only.
Elvis was just his whole Soul. Beyond Emotional expression..In the 80's & 90's things became too over choreographed..This Elvis Dude is just in the zone with the band and back up singers, and feeling every groove, every kick drum the drummer is chopping. He is just one with the music, in the zone & connected. You have to feel that. It just is!
Well said hey! So true. 👍👍🇿🇦
Saw him live TWICE !! Video can't even come close to describing or displaying his energy. When he got on stage, it felt like True ROYALTY was in presence.
I concur seen him in 75 & 77 awesome
The voice to me is a God given gift..but also his moves his humility... Evlis was and always will be the King od Rock n Roll
There is so much about elvis its hard to know where to begin . A fixture in America music from 54 to 77.
An entertainer who could sing Gospel Rock ballads ect .
Heck out his first love Gospel music you won't be disappointed
He fused different styles of music to make an interesting sound.
The greatest entertainer of all times !! I have been a fan since 1956 and saw him many times in Las Vegas !!
You are right Best! He was a showman , he had charisma. Elvis had it all ❤️
Cant watch him without smiling...His talent was unsurpassable!
No Elvis would never change
Elvis would not have changed anything to accommodate the PC culture that has been forced upon us. How do I know? Watch the documentary on Elvis and the black community (2 parts). It will show you just a small sample of the criticism and censorship he had to endure when he first started out.

There is an old documentary called This is Elvis I think it was made in 1989 you would really like it
At this time his shows were about 2 hrs. What's great about Elvis, is that he was one one with the band. It was an organic melding as they followed his hand signals. Brilliant.
Elvis was such a jokester! LOVE HIMMMMM!!!! This performance is SO hot!!!!
That white boy got moves!!!
@Old Man BEST you are right on point when you said Elvis was different. Soul Legend Bobby Rush would agree with you.
Some people are either born with that or they're not... just like you said he said same thing in his past interviews.

He was making a microphone noise just to be funny there was nothing perverted intended.. Elvis was a personal friend i have lived in Memphis since the early 70's i met him when i was 17 yrs old. I won a radio show contest the prize was a day with Elvis. I saw him before he passed we had a short talk i was crying he gave me a kiss on the cheek and said i love ya kiddo i said i love you too E. That was the last time i saw my friend alive again. I walk past Graceland everyday without fail. i live on EP Blvd. much love from Memphis Tn. It's just a song no real people that he's talking about. Elvis was a genuine sweet man and i will never forget my friend. He was not vulgar at all period. The music today now that is straight up nasty.
Great memories you have. Wow! 👍👍🇿🇦
He gave so much in all his shoes. Sometimes he was doing shows like this twice a day! He barely stopped when he was on these tours And he wanted to make sure he gave it his all every performance! And guess what he did to wind down after a show? He sang! He and his backing singers would sit round the piano and sing gospel songs! You want to see that? Look up "Lead Me Guide Me" and find where they are doing exactly this! It's natural and superb!
He was something else! Please do "You've lost that loving feeling" from the Las Vegas show, in 70, live! I promise it's amazing!
thanks very much for your nice reaction.Elvis said ''I just do what I feel.
I love it. You weren't even born by the time Elvis died and you're definitely an Elvis fan. My 3 sons are Elvis fans, too, but probably because their Mama was Elvis crazy. lol
Usually 3 shows days Las Vegas 4 weeks. That many times years.. Plus normal touring.. :O
Exactly, but i have to correct you at one point.
He did 2 shows a day.
The dinner show and the midnight show.
Usually in August and December each for 4-5 weeks.
@@alameas6358 Yes 636 sold out shows 69-76.. Las Vegas
His antics didn’t fly back then, but El didn’t give a crap. One of a kind! 😍
In the 1950s Elvis could only be shown singing from waist up. Watch him do Hound Dog.
Absolutely love ELVIS 💘
Do a reaction video to Muhammad Ali Speaking At Elvis' Memorial.
When Elvis very first started to perform the television stations would only film him from the waist up because they thought his hip gyrations were to sexual. A nickname was Elvis the pelvis, because he shook his hips so much.
This is REAL talent you go ELVIS best singer of our time
Great reaction....a couple of answers for you. His shows averaged about an hour with a few exceptions. He never did an encore..he believed in keeping the fans wanting more...the microphone bit in the mouth was to cause feedback as a joke. there are some documentaries out there. They have both fact and fiction. There are few good books about him. Peter Guralnick did a 2 volume biography. “Last Train To Memphis” and “Careless Love: The unmaking of Elvis...Jerry Phillips a friend from the beginning had a nice book called “Me and a Guy named Elvis”.
They are currently in production of a movie now with Tom Hanks as Elvis Manager Colonel Parker and an actor named Austin Butler playing Elvis and due out next November 2021...no name for the movie but it will be along the lines of Bohemian Rhapsody type of biography. It’s being filmed in Australia where they built a set that looks like the showroom from the International from this video.
There's also a biography of Elvis by former Rolling Stone writer Jerry Hopkins. It's a quicker read than the previously mentioned bios but still entertaining. It lays out how things came about and why without imposing a subjective point of view or taking sides.
Last train to Memphis is a great Bio
William Quinlan yeah. I bought that book in 1971/72. It was a good book. I got my first glimpse into Elvis. He was very good at describing how Elvis felt when he first stepped on that stage in Vegas July 31 1969 and from then on I bugged my dad to take me to Vegas and we did finally Aug 24th 1972. Dinner show. WOW
@@RJsStudio131 I'm envious.
William Quinlan I was 14 and I felt like a little school girl when he walked on stage. I was 20 feet away and the electricity was off the charts. Saw him again in 74 and 76. Both great shows but a little further away. He still blew the roof off the Forum and the Omni.
He Don two shows a one afternoon one night day after day every one sold out amazing performance every time 🤔🇬🇧
love watching this time period through your eyes and smile thank you for my memories through your eyes
LMFAO elvis going crazy with it 5:17
I saw him 4 times and never was disappointed . But he never gave an encore . He didn’t need to .
Just Wished He'd Come To The UK . Wouldn't Be Stadiums Big Enough To Hold His Fans .
Not a music video, but vital information. To understand Elvis, you need to understand WHERE he came from. Poorest of the poor. 9yrs old before he owned his 1st pair of shoes. Snuck out his house across train tracks as a young boy to black Baptist churches to sing with choirs during segregation times in the 1950s? who did that? And from that... BAM.. he helped change the way music was made, who'd get credit, and opened up so many doors. Death threats, getting arrested by white gangs and even police were daily obstacles him. Crazy dangerous times. They even tried calling HIM racist to see if they could make him implode. Check this: th-cam.com/video/xd1pXw1DmsA/w-d-xo.html&t
@depper - Good link you shared. My friend is the one that made that video years ago. To everything you mentioned above I would only add that something many Elvis historians have overlooked or missed over the years is we can go further back than Memphis with his going to visit the black church in 1950s segregated times. We need to go further back years before that, in Tupelo when he was a child.
People like Sam Bell said Elvis was actually living right across the street from him and how *Elvis was part of the black community*.
The myth is that he had to walk to go be around black American musicians, but the reality is *he was living directly among them for some time*.
Sam Bell gave one interview about how Elvis as a kid would be the only white child that would be going with him and his family and friends to the gospel tent revivals.
Of course later when Elvis and his parents moved to Memphis the natural progression for him as a high-schooler was to visit Herbert Brewster's Baptist Church, as you mentioned above.
Extra interesting to history is Herbert Brewster wasn't just a well-known preacher, he was also a legendary Gospel song-writer back in that era and a powerful civil rights activists.
He spoke in many more interviews over the years than just the one on my friends video documentary.
He spoke in a couple interviews about not only Elvis's legit talent, but he also spoke of Elvis's Humanity and Generosity in one of his interviews.
I've always said Herbert Bruster's endorsement and serious respect spoken for Elvis cannot be understated in importance.
Anyway. Agree with your points, just adding some extra info
@@jayviviano109 Yep I knew about Tupolo and the rest but was just simplifying :) But I didnt know that your friend made that video, cool stuff!
depper that video should shut up any of them out there about Elvis being a Racist.....thanks for the link. Haven’t seen it in a awhile
@@JonBurrows3577 If you have it in your mind to wonder how much of the racist hate in that video was real or recreated then I honestly would recommend researching the actual history of that era. (Not Elvis History...I mean serious time spebt research on subject of "Jim Crow 1950s") People like myself that have background & years researching & writing about that specific era know all too well that it was extremely reap ... and even more so than that video showed.
His video actually only scratched the surface. It barely showed anything compared to what really was going on.
There were mock, symbolic lynchings of Elvis look-alike mannequins and dummies with a rope hung around its neck hung done by crowds of people in various cities and in some college campuses around the country back at that time to symbolize the resentment lot of white folks had for "Elvis singing black music".
Charles Connors (Little Richard and James Browns personal drummer) said after a show one night in Texas the police threw Little Richard and the whole band in jail. He said the next morning when they were released, the police told them - "Go tell your n-loving friend Elvis, that when he comes back to Texas we'll be looking for reasons to put him in jail also".
All that type nonsense & hate was normal day-to-day stuff happening on the regular.
A lot of people have no clue about any of that stuff going on because too much slop historian over the years haven't covered it.
But those of us that research deeper find out there was a whole lot of that on the regular going on.
Honestly even though my friend made that video, I'm not promoting it, I'm not even the one that shared it on this thread. That was Depper.
But his video is only scratching the surface, there is a whole lot more that could be covered on that subject and it would take a much longer video or documentary.
There's a movie coming out June 24 2022 about Elvis life best 👍🐐☘️
Elvis was here!
Great reaction. Thank you. I enjoy your videos, even watching them 7 months down the line... 😄😄👍👍🇿🇦
You Need to see Elvis sing "Jailhouse Rock". It was his young stuff like that which really had Black folks going crazy.
I think he was singing about poke salad... it's an edible weed (beautiful plant, actually)
You dont think his antics would fly today do you not see how many elvis reactioners there are, there are thousands of impersonaters his original band an orchestra re enact these concert with him singing on a screen that are attended by thousands his house is the second behind the whitehouse most visited historical home 800,000 a year hes been gone over 40 years an he is still huge.
Sexist man God ever created and i am so blessed to have had Elvis as my friend. love from Memphis Tn. love your reactions very sweet and nice thank you.
OMG...tht ws just awesome!!!!! I had to come back today and watch it again. Great way to start my day!
Such Charisma fun song great work from his TCB band , Elvis passion drove his performance great reaction
When he put on a show,you got your money's worth and then some
That's the way it is only documentary you can't miss.
th-cam.com/video/zKEn88iBmI0/w-d-xo.html
Haha makes me smile always! He's so playful in this song! And sooo dynamic! Ahhhhh 🤗
No Elvis would not change for anyone. Just remember it was frowned apon to move like he did in the 50s 60s but he did it his way and thank the Lord he did.
You've got to check out his last two documentaries toward the end of Elvis and then he also made 33 feature films which were actual storylines there were movies but the very beginning the early early Elvis from 1956 and then he got he got drafted at the height of his career in 1956 he served two years in the Army then came back and did feature films then went back on the television special and which became to be known as his comeback where he's actually performing with a live audience and it was a one-hour variety special and it was such a hit he wanted to go back on tour like he did in the early fifties so it was like considered his comeback and then he started in Vegas you should see that response in Las Vegas he was like Supernatural and heater for the rest of his life check out all the Google sites that read a book called me and a guy named Elvis by Jerry Schilling that was because it was his best friend one of them the most trustworthy Source the other books were written by people with we're not is closed except there was one called what happened and get the backstory on that and that was about Sonny West and red West his bodyguards which they came to be known as the Memphis Mafia you can see a lot of Google sites then there is a thing from Hollywood is called lucky stars by meeting Elvis Presley and you see all reactions when people talk about how it was when I met him but there is much more on him but you can start there LOL
Oops I meant to say the 68 Comeback Special on television where he's wearing a black leather jacket it was a 1 hour special you can get the whole thing but I'll know Google it just shows him when he's singing in the black leather jacket with it is a variety to the special if you want to check that out they have to probably buy the CD for that
old man best
The Aloha From Hawaii concert is by far his GREATEST over all performances. Every song...he gave all. American Trilogy from this is GENUIS, he felt everything, all the way down to the ting of the bell !!!
Lv it when he gets a girls number on stage and hands it to someone to hold on to for him !! Lol 😆
Thank you ur awesome He NEVER be forgotten long live the King T C B
Elvis should have been a member of Python!
He will always be the King.
Just the look on your face you can tell everyone knows there will never be another Elvis 👌🤔🇬🇧
Check out the movie with Kurt Russell Elvis its very good or This is Elvis a great documentary with actors and live and private footage .
Also on utube elvis a generosity heart
And there's one on elvis and the black Community
"It Happened At The World's Fair". And years later, Kurt Russell played Elvis in a movie!
Elvis Presley covered You've Lost That Loving Feeling by the Righteous Brothers. You should check it out
Amongst other things he covered 33 Frank Sinatra tracks
I saw his last concert he ever did in my city. I was in the nose bleed section. He was a little white spec moving all around. I tell you what, I couldn't see him, but I heard him loud, and clear. His final song was "Hurt," and he shook the building like thunder. I'll never forget that. Check out that song if you like.
HE WOULDN'T CHANGE A THING. THEY WOULDN'T WANT HIM TO.GOOD LORD THE LIYRICS TO DAY.ARE YOU KIDDING AND THE WAY THEY DRESS. BORN WITH IT
Very good reaction. Subscribed too! And what about react to "One night with you", from the Comeback Special? You will like it!
Elvis adapts to the times his transformation from 1953 to 77 the man change to the times that’s how he’s still revenant up today’s times
First of all, he would not be PC on issues because he wasn't racist and would not agree with how people are treating this country. Elvis would tell people to chill and be real with each other.
No Elvis was gifted 💙🙏👍🐐
Yes, he has a great sense of humor....love your smile.....he brought joy to a lot of people! Period.
People waited years for a ticket to see this man. The list was long.
If you haven't checked it out yet, American Trilogy from the aloha Hawaii special. It was shown by satellite all over the world with over one and a half billion people Andover 30 some countries, no one to this day has accomplished such a feat, not even close. But you'll get an idea by that song of his incredible vocal range. Plus you'll really get to hear his incredible voice.
Some people believe it may have been as high as 2 billion people watching it which was half the world's population at the time.
Some countries had like a 90 viewership which is insane.
I PROMISE U. If ELVIS just started out today. He would still have taken the WORLD by storm. U only get one ELVIS
You are correct!
You don't need to research Elvis, just watch him :-)
the king.... the best ever
Elvis had to perform 2 shows a day sometimes 3 on a Saturday and Sunday, he would do this for 6 weeks straight with no break, all while his manager was gambling elvis' money away. Elvis was burnt out after doing shows like this, who knows what would and could have happened had elvis lived to sack Tom Parker, he had already talk to and agreed to be managed by the same people who managed led zeppelin, he had plans to rest, get fit and tour the world coming here to the UK first. On his last holiday in 1977 he told his crew his plans but then the unthinkable happened, which was lucky for his manager as he made more money with elvis dead then he would had he lived.his manager showed no emotion or grief losing elvis, Its great to see people like you showing the respect to elvis and showing people that he wasn't someone to ridicule because of his problems, he was an amazing entertainer whose music is still relevant today.
Hi. If Elvis were alive today and performing he wouldn't change a thing about what he did on stage. But then again, he'd be in his 80s.
In the 70s his shows were roughly an hour. Check out the Documentary "Elvis On Tour". It chronicles a 1972 15 city tour. You'll see some excellent performances.
Good luck to you. You have a great channel.
TCB⚡
Great reactions to the great man. Apart from the ones you've already done, maybe check out "Steamroller Blues" and "American Trilogy".
The greatest show man ever wow x ☓ 💜
To learn more on who and how he was. Best documentary to date, release 2018, HBO.
Elvis, The Searcher
Two parts, about 4 hours. It is very very good and factual, with great stuff in it
Great reaction bruv. Keep heading down this rabbit hole. Tiger man 68 comeback special is mental, but so is everything from that concert. Good job bro💯💯👏👏👊
Anything he did was fun. He is still admired to this day.
Exciting every time watch love your reaction
