45 years ago today we lost Elvis, and his music is still touching people! What a legacy he left us all. "American Trilogy" is a MUST reaction, please 🙏
Elvis was a showman, the people that promote showmen are snowmen, and all the rest are rubes. Point is, people are capable of SOOO much more, including singing just as good if not better than Elvis. But most never even try.
On the anniversary of his passing today 45 years ago. Longer than he lived his life. Incredible to think all that in 42 years. Amazing. Rest in Peace 💜💜💜💜💜💜✌
You MUST react to Elvis's 68 comeback special!! If you want to see Elvis live!! Any Elvis fan will tell you the black suited Elvis was the GOAT! One night with you, trying to get to you, Lawdy miss Clawdy, the WHOLE set was 🔥!!! I am on my KNEES! PLEASE do it!!😃
He did this song at the live satellite concert in Hawaii in 1973 which was broadcast around the world and seen by over a billion people... I watched it live....best concert ever... The song is available on TH-cam in the live version, that is if it isn't blocked... Great reaction, guys...
ROB SQUAD This song came out in 1972 ,,,, I some one called ELVIS the KING In An interview once And Elvis told him no Jesus Christ is THE KING .. I Love it
"Can't Help Fallin' in Love with You" is sensitive Elvis at his best. It's been played at countless wedding receptions for decades because it's the ultimate slow-dancing song. Rockin' Elvis can be heard with "Bossa Nova Baby" and so many others.
I was in the Army with Elvis' 1st cousin's son, back in the '80's so he'd be Elvis' 1st cousin, 1 generation removed. He was from Mississippi and sounded exactly like Huckleberry Hound.
@@elevenbucks5682 oh really? During this time, a fellow sergeant introduced Elvis to amphetamines, which he began taking almost daily. He also gave them to his young girlfriend and fellow service members, according to “Careless Love: The Unmaking of Elvis Presley” by Peter Guralnick. now go back to your inflatable girlfriend, BOZO!
You're right about the many aspects to Elvis, but one you didn't mention is his Gospel influence. He put out a few Gospel albums and as with everything he touched, they were terrific. RIP, King.
Someone once asked Elvis what it was like to have the best voice in rock and roll. Elvis replied "You'll have to ask Roy Orbison" What a class act. Miss you king.
He would not agree with you ,, Elvis once was told by a man in an interview that he was the King And Elvis told the man No JESUS CHRIST is the KING .... I LOVE IT
For your daughter, try "(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear". Sweet love - has 1 verse of - run my fingers thru your hair & a cuddle. Fans always gave Teddy Bears to Elvis because of this song. Also up tempo & sweet great song.
‘Alittle less conversation’, so many to choose from. ‘Blue Moon of Kentucky’, “suspicious minds’ for sure and of course ‘the next step is love’ is soooooo awesome.
I recently read a great quote from decades past from Bill Monroe, the writer and original performer of "Blue Moon of Kentucky". When asked about the Elvis version, he said at first he didn't like it, but then he started getting the royalty checks. lol
Love that you did this. My only suggestion is watch him live any time you can. Aloha from Hawaii concert has all the best song. Hope you do my way or American trilogy
I was an extra in a movie starring The Rock. It was called "The Game Plan". This song was featured in it too. At the end credits, they play various scenes of the cast singing this, and I remember being on set and watching them. It was such a fun experience, and I met alot of the stars too! 🤩🎬🏈
Robert...I was just about to mention The Game Plan with The Rock in it and how this song is featured in the credits! Great, cute family football inspired movie, along with some other great inspiring moments! One of my fave Disney movies! And that must've been such a fun, awesome experience for you! That's so great! This song fit perfectly with everyone at the end!👏❤️🙂
@@ShannyShan20 it really was fun. The football games were mostly filmed in Gillette stadium, and the cheerleaders in the movie were the real life ones from The Patriots. I played a state cop during the games, and in between filming I was hanging out with the cheerleaders. It was a great time! 😂
One of my favorite Elvis songs, along with Kentucky Rain, Suspicious Minds and In the Ghetto. I was never an Elvis fan in the early years, but he had a string of hits in the ‘70s that were great.
Over the last year, I've really begun preferring his older material. Honestly, I can't see how people think he got less sexual in his older, it's just more nuanced because he's matured but he also had more to work with in the 70s, not to say that guy really needs much instrumentation but you get a sense of the uniqueness of the sound he wanted to hear even with covers like Bridge Over Troubled Water and Unchained Melody, he had this ability to get something out of any song that not even the original singer ever imagined possible which is why Elvis could cover anyone but covering Elvis is redundant, you won't do it better.
Yeah, the memory is so vivid. Like yesterday. I was in a campground in Yellowstone National Park, 11 years old, enjoying a great summer vacation with my family when my parents broke the news to me and my older brother. Crazy how you can still feel the shock so many years/decades later. RIP King!
Great tune! The "Handsome Boy"! That's cute. Hunka Hunka! Hitting it right out the box! A friend of mine has seen that new movie FIFTEEN TIMES! Yeah Jay! Great reaction. Thanks guys!
I remember one summer day in the 80's when a radio station in Toronto decided to change their format and become a 100% 24 hour per day Hunka Hunka Burnin Love station. They proceeded to play this song over and over, all day long. The funny thing is, I listened to it all day long. Unfortunately (or fortunately), the next day they went back to their previous format.
I was 18 years old when he passed. It still hard to believe that the man is gone. It so great that the legend gets to live on. Only if he had known. Thank You Both.
Live Elvis is alot of fun. The Hawaii concert for sure, and also his comeback special from 1968. He plays some guitar in the '68 TV special, he's having a great time, worth a watch.
August 16th, 1977 The day the World stood still. I was 13 and was watching TV when the news broken in and announced he had died. My brother is a big Elvis fan, he seen him 9 times. He was in our town that June, we moved back from Tennessee that July. My brother said the next time he comes to town I’ll take you to see him. He died the next month. 😢 I agree with your daughter. I always have said he was the best looking man to ever walk the Earth. Imo. 🥰
I haven’t heard this song in many years but it still sounds fresh. Please do some Linda Ronstadt. Your fans are longing for that sweet, powerful voice 🌺✌️
May the King of Rock rest in peace 🙏. Elvis' hymns are among my favorite. His version of How Great Thou Art gives me chills! I was 6 years old when he died.. I can still remember that day!
Great reaction! Elvis died on a Tuesday, and I remember because Happy Days was on Tuesday’s and all 13 channels of TV preempted regular programming to do a special about The King’s death. This was the biggest story since the bicentennial and while the bicentennial was technically in 1976 from a marketing standpoint it started around 1974! All the fast food places had red white and blue to go bags and cups. Cars, motorcycles and bicycles had red white and blue paint schemes on certain models. Everyone had flags in their yards! Clothes had Stars and Stripes! Bicentennial parties were going on long before 1976 with red white and blue streamers and plates! It was wild and after it was over it was like a hangover until Elvis died!
Awesome song by Elvis! His backup singers The Sweet Inspirations were powerhouse singers too! Fun fact Whitney Houston's mom Cissy Houston was one of The Sweet Inspirations too! You will have to check them out!
Great Reaction and Song as always!!! Hey if the kiddos love the "Handsome Man", they'd love the movie Lilo & Stitch... *Not sure if they've seen it yet but it's full of Elvis hits, watched it religiously as a kid!!!*
One of his many great songs, I’ll never forget the day he passed my friend and I were riding our bikes and his mother was crying with his aunt sitting next to her crying,He went home and I rode on to my house to find my mother crying and said what is going on and then they told me
Burnin' Love was Elvis' last top 5 Single on the Billboard charts, topping out at #2 in 1972. This is well into the Las Vegas period. Elvis' lat number 1 single was Suspicious Minds from 1969, which hit just after In The Ghetto went to #3 earlier in the year. Way Down was the last single by Elvis in 1977, reaching #18 in the US and #1 in the UK.
It was noted after Elvis died that the 19th anniversary of his beloved mother's death had come just two days before his own in 1977. Of course, he had his own health and drug issues that expedited his demise, but that pain never went away for him.
"Can't Help Fallin' in Love with You" is Elvis at his very best - from the movie "Blue Hawaii" a great movie!!!! His 1968 comeback concert is Elvis at his best!!! His very best!!! so worth a look!!!!!! So many great songs!!!!
An album of Elvis songs was released with the royal philharmonic orchestra back in 2015 ...this song is definitely worth a listen with the orchestra arrangement X:)
The live versions of Elvis' songs taken from his Vegas shows are actually better to react to than his studio recordings because, not only do you get his voice, you also get his stage presence, and Elvis had a tremendous stage presence!
someone said they only listen; & many people commented that they should watch his performances; how could they be so clueless; this is my 1st time here & it isn't worth returning
Hey, if you want to see ELVIS Live, check out his LEGENDARY "'68 COMEBACK SPECIAL", which was produced to reintroduce ELVIS to the current Music Scene of the late 1960s. ELVIS had just spent several years making Movies, but he was unhappy with the Scripts he had been getting. A new Producer was hired to update his sound for a younger Audience. Recorded in December 1968 at the NBC Burbank Studios. This Iconic Film marked the return of The KING to LIVE performances, and the rest, as they say, is Showbiz History!
Baz Luhrmann's biopic, "ELVIS", is pure fire. Austin Butler (as Elvis) is nothing short of spectacular. He devoted 3 years of his life (seriously, countless hours, day in and day out) to studying every little body movement, every little singing voice inflection, every speaking voice inflection, every little mannerism of Elvis including every scrap of biographical information about Elvis that was available. The goal, however, wasn't to "impersonate" Elvis in this movie. It was all about wanting to "get inside" the man as a "person" as well as inside Elvis the "performer" and to create a gestalt portrait of the man. Did he succeed? Oh, you bet. He nailed it. Gotta be an Oscar nomination if not a win for best actor. Some die-hard Elvis fans are complaining that several significant events in the film are out of sequence with the timeline in which they actually occurred. There's a reason for that. It's too complicated to explain here, but it has to do with the artistry of film-making and trying to figure out how best to cram as much of such an enormously complex life story into a couple hours of screen time. Other fans are whining "He doesn't look like Elvis!!!" That's about the most ridiculous comment they could come up with. He doesn't look like Elvis because.... duh!....News Flash..... he isn't Elvis! LOL But after about 15 minutes into the movie you'll forget about that because Austin Butler seems to have literally "channeled" the essence of what made Elvis.... well..... Elvis. I've been a huge Elvis fan ever since he started out in the early 50s and, in my humble opinion, the movie is a "Must See" for anyone who doesn't know the whole story of the life and times of the "King of Rock-n-Roll" and wants to get a pretty darn good picture of what it was all about.
Perfect timing on this reaction. Elvis passed away on August 16, 1977 at age 42. I remember that day like it was yesterday. One of the saddest days in entertainment history. RIP Elvis. We still miss you 45 years later. Someone mentioned the movie The Game Plan that features this song. It is a fun movie that has The Rock in it. Your girls would love this movie as well. Such fun.
Guess what...When Elvis did the Live broadcast "Aloha from Hawaii" (1973), they made him change the lyrics when it got to 'the flames are now licking my body' part. It was too suggestive for TV, at the time. ELVIS was my FIRST concert! (I was in 6th grade and loved Elvis's music) My mother got tickets for her and I, and we sat in the 6th row from the stage. Well, it was the first time I realized that the women there liked Elvis for MORE than just his music! (I think that was the light-bulb moment for me, that the women saw him as being sexy when he sang). Elvis was classy, but very very very..(another) very, SEXY at the same time. So when Jay caught that line, it was definitely a line that Elvis worked when he was on stage...He didn't even have to do anything, but say the words and women were over the moon! :)
Great backing vocals and musicians behind one of the greatest singers ever. This song, "Kentucky Rain", and "Suspicious Minds" are my favs. The studio versions are musical perfection.
Just do yourselves a favor and watch Aloha from Hawaii from 1973. Just do it. You will love every second of it. The voice, the band, the background singers, the outfit, the scarves, the dancing. His interaction with the band and singers and with the audience will make you love him. You will learn that Elvis loved music and you feel that. Elvis was incredible. Just incredible.
i've seen all the comments about these people only listening & not watching live; in this day & age w-all that's available, it does not make sense; i won't be returning -- it isn't worth it
Elvis 68 Can't Help Falling in Love with you your daughter could watch. He walks around the center stage singing to the ladies in the audience being a proper Southern Gentleman.
I agree the stage versions are great, but do you realize that by only watching them you're missing out on so many great songs that Elvis never performed live or that weren't filmed? And most on TH-cam now include slide shows or random videos. I hope you'll give them a chance.
elvis did it all and was the first at everything besides his incredable voice and charisma generosity kindness humility gospel yes he sang peace in the valley on the ed Sullivan show never before or since has anyone done that he says thank you and God bless you like he has blessed me you will never see anyone close to our 1 and only king elvis the goat
Yep! One of those later songs that I still really really love. Is also still on my run-music-list... singing: it's hard to breath and my chest is a heaving while running as fast as you can.
My son 12 years ago sang this song to his new wife at the wedding. He couldn’t dance like Elvis, he didn’t have a voice like Elvis, but he sang it anyway!!!
45 years ago today we lost Elvis, and his music is still touching people! What a legacy he left us all. "American Trilogy" is a MUST reaction, please 🙏
Yes, huge request for American Trilogy. I think you’ll both love it. ❤️ Live from Hawaii if possible.
Elvis was a showman, the people that promote showmen are snowmen, and all the rest are rubes.
Point is, people are capable of SOOO much more, including singing just as good if not better than Elvis. But most never even try.
My Mom cried all day and for a long time after. Elvis was such a big presence in our home.
RIP Elvis. I still remember exactly where I was when heard it on the radio.
"American Trilogy" is a masterpiece. Still gives me goosebumps after all these years.
On the anniversary of his passing today 45 years ago. Longer than he lived his life. Incredible to think all that in 42 years. Amazing. Rest in Peace 💜💜💜💜💜💜✌
Rip Elvis🙏Such a sad day😢
He was older than 42 when he died.
@@michaelasay8587 yes 42. Born 1935 died 1977. If you can do simple math and change history then go ahead 🙄

YES!!
Yes please!
Best show and you really see his sense of humor
Agree but If I Can Dream in the white suit at the end is my favorite
@@kathyh628 I think they may have reacted to that one.
"Kentucky Rain "is a great song! The story of a man searching for his love! Another Ms. boy done good!! Thank ya'll
Written by the late, great Eddie Rabbitt
@@grege9019 yes !
Absolutely! This song is the best IMO!
Love Kentucky Rain and also Don’t cry daddy
My two favorite Elvis songs are Kentucky Rain and the tearjerker "Old Shep".
He did this song at the live satellite concert in Hawaii in 1973 which was broadcast around the world and seen by over a billion people... I watched it live....best concert ever... The song is available on TH-cam in the live version, that is if it isn't blocked... Great reaction, guys...
ROB SQUAD This song came out in 1972 ,,,, I some one called ELVIS the KING In An interview once And Elvis told him no Jesus Christ is THE KING .. I Love it
I remember watching it. In 1973....Omg, phenomenal!! 🙂
It was a television event. My mom was a huge fan and we watched the concert and had the double album. He was so good live.
Yesssssss!! That was the best live concert of Elvis ever! And in the Islands no less, it was awesome!!! Luved it! 😎
I watched the while concert online. I just wish the songs weren't so short. But, it was the times and radio 📻 rules
If you want to completely melt, you must do Can’t help falling in love. It’s absolutely beautiful. His voice is perfect.
His voice was so powerful and full without any kind of auto tune or digital help of any kind. Thats why he is the King.
And always will be!
"Can't Help Fallin' in Love with You" is sensitive Elvis at his best. It's been played at countless wedding receptions for decades because it's the ultimate slow-dancing song. Rockin' Elvis can be heard with "Bossa Nova Baby" and so many others.
Adapted from the classic 16th century French song, "Plaisir d'amour" by Martins One of many songs Elvis sang based on older tunes.
Watch the video it's about him not yall
Can’t Help Falling in Love With You from the movie “Blue Hawaii” th-cam.com/video/DJwjfsHDVpk/w-d-xo.html
BURNING LOVE was a smash hit in 1972 , Rock on Elvis in the 70s
Wedding receptions and it also was a staple slow dance last song at about a million proms.
My uncle was in the army with Elvis, he really was a great and generous man.
We never doubted it. He wasn't perfect, but he was damn close and he hit the mark with voice and looks.
I was in the Army with Elvis' 1st cousin's son, back in the '80's so he'd be Elvis' 1st cousin, 1 generation removed. He was from Mississippi and sounded exactly like Huckleberry Hound.
and the army is where he found his love for drugs.
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 NOT SO BOZO
@@elevenbucks5682 oh really?
During this time, a fellow sergeant introduced Elvis to amphetamines, which he began taking almost daily. He also gave them to his young girlfriend and fellow service members, according to “Careless Love: The Unmaking of Elvis Presley” by Peter Guralnick.
now go back to your inflatable girlfriend, BOZO!
Gotta watch him live!! Thank you for reacting to Elvis as it's the Anniversary of his death today. RIP sweet soul TCB ⚡👑🔥😭❤
You're right about the many aspects to Elvis, but one you didn't mention is his Gospel influence. He put out a few Gospel albums and as with everything he touched, they were terrific. RIP, King.
He won 3 Grammies....all gospel songs.
Crying in the chapel
His version of Peace in the Valley always puts me in my feels. It was played at both my father’s and my brother’s funeral.
How Great Thow Art…. Live 1977
the man could SING that gospel
Someone once asked Elvis what it was like to have the best voice in rock and roll. Elvis replied "You'll have to ask Roy Orbison" What a class act. Miss you king.
No one in the entire Universe can sing like Elvis Presley. Elvis will always be the King! 🎸🎤
For me Burning Love is one of Elvis Top 10 song. 💯👍
He would not agree with you ,, Elvis once was told by a man in an interview that he was the King And Elvis told the man No JESUS CHRIST is the KING .... I LOVE IT
For your daughter, try "(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear". Sweet love - has 1 verse of - run my fingers thru your hair & a cuddle. Fans always gave Teddy Bears to Elvis because of this song. Also up tempo & sweet great song.
Yes! I think "Teddy Bear", "Wooden Heart" and "I Got Lucky" would be great Elvis introductions for young ones.
‘Alittle less conversation’, so many to choose from. ‘Blue Moon of Kentucky’, “suspicious minds’ for sure and of course ‘the next step is love’ is soooooo awesome.

How very exciting, that must have been an experience of a lifetime.

Great, cute family football inspired movie, along with some other great inspiring moments! One of my fave Disney movies! And that must've been such a fun, awesome experience for you! That's so great! This song fit perfectly with everyone at the end!👏❤️🙂

I love your reactions to all the songs. You guys are SO genuine! I would love your reaction to Elvis' "A Little Less Conversation!"
Jay & Amber, you'll love his "All Shook Up" and "Are You Lonesome Tonight"!!!
On this song…. Live…. Elvis would be twitching those hips and the girls would be swooning and screaming! “Hunk hunk of burning love!”
Yes the live version of Are you lonesome tonight and of course just like a lot of his live concerts he starts being silly. ❤️❤️👍
I know exactly where I was when hearing the news that he passed away. Nice you've done a tribute.
Yeah, the memory is so vivid. Like yesterday. I was in a campground in Yellowstone National Park, 11 years old, enjoying a great summer vacation with my family when my parents broke the news to me and my older brother. Crazy how you can still feel the shock so many years/decades later. RIP King!
Legend in my family: my mom played this song (all Elvis really) so often that my youngest sister’s first words were “hunka hunka” 😊.
😮🤣😅🤣👍😃❣️😃👍
Great tune! The "Handsome Boy"! That's cute. Hunka Hunka! Hitting it right out the box! A friend of mine has seen that new movie FIFTEEN TIMES! Yeah Jay! Great reaction. Thanks guys!

Elvis never lets you down. 👍

THE WONDER OF YOU BY elvis is amazing
So many great songs.
"Can't Help Falling In Love" is a classic.
Hi guys you must see ELVIS live!!!!! WHEN HE SINGS
Live Elvis is alot of fun. The Hawaii concert for sure, and also his comeback special from 1968. He plays some guitar in the '68 TV special, he's having a great time, worth a watch.
I saw him live in Las Vegas in the early 70s...front row seats. I was just a kid, but my mom was in love with "Elvis the Pelvis".
RIP King your still loved ❤️😍
“What Now My Love” rehearsal performance Aloha From Hawaii. This song shows Elvis’ incredible range.
Yes!! Soooo good!!!
Elvis is Superman.
1972, I played this record over and over again, on a record player, KING ELVIS.
Gospel singing was Elvis's favorite after he did a show, he would sing them for hours. Amazing Grace is beautiful when he sings it.
He popularized “Peace in the Valley “
I can still remember the moment when I heard that we lost him and where I was. Thanks, guys.

my fav. Elvis song
I haven’t heard this song in many years but it still sounds fresh. Please do some Linda Ronstadt. Your fans are longing for that sweet, powerful voice 🌺✌️
This is my most favourite period of his career. The late 60s to the 70s.
May the King of Rock rest in peace 🙏. Elvis' hymns are among my favorite. His version of How Great Thou Art gives me chills! I was 6 years old when he died..
I can still remember that day!
Another side of Elvis is his gospel songs. They're amazing.
This song and Suspicious Minds are my two favorite songs from the King.
Such a fantastic song. Elvis knew how to rock. RIP Elvis. Loved your reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
Elvis is treasured and missed all over the world. This is a classic song, sung by a master craftsman. Lots of smiling going on thanks to you.
From the 30 #1 ELVIS hits. A banger!
Last great rocker from Elvis. I loved this tune when I was a kid. Still play it in bands once in a while.
One of my favorite Elvis songs
Elvis always best watching on stage
Great way to honor the 45th anniversary of his passing today. RIP.
Ooh, ooh, ooh I feel my temperature rising! Always laugh when he sings that. RIP Elvis, you were, are, and always be the King.

but wouldn't have been a hell of a lot better if they looked at him live; they have no clue ad to what they're missing
Elvis was my favorite singer and the Bee Gees my favorite Group.
100% agree!

which was produced to reintroduce ELVIS to the current Music Scene of the late 1960s. ELVIS had just spent several years making Movies, but he was unhappy with the Scripts he had been getting.
A new Producer was hired to update his sound for a younger Audience. Recorded in December 1968 at the NBC Burbank Studios. This Iconic Film marked the return of The KING to LIVE performances, and the rest, as they say, is Showbiz History!
Especially ,Trying to get to you, great song and Elvis really feeling it.
Baz Luhrmann's biopic, "ELVIS", is pure fire. Austin Butler (as Elvis) is nothing short of spectacular. He devoted 3 years of his life (seriously, countless hours, day in and day out) to studying every little body movement, every little singing voice inflection, every speaking voice inflection, every little mannerism of Elvis including every scrap of biographical information about Elvis that was available. The goal, however, wasn't to "impersonate" Elvis in this movie. It was all about wanting to "get inside" the man as a "person" as well as inside Elvis the "performer" and to create a gestalt portrait of the man. Did he succeed? Oh, you bet. He nailed it. Gotta be an Oscar nomination if not a win for best actor. Some die-hard Elvis fans are complaining that several significant events in the film are out of sequence with the timeline in which they actually occurred. There's a reason for that. It's too complicated to explain here, but it has to do with the artistry of film-making and trying to figure out how best to cram as much of such an enormously complex life story into a couple hours of screen time. Other fans are whining "He doesn't look like Elvis!!!" That's about the most ridiculous comment they could come up with. He doesn't look like Elvis because.... duh!....News Flash..... he isn't Elvis! LOL But after about 15 minutes into the movie you'll forget about that because Austin Butler seems to have literally "channeled" the essence of what made Elvis.... well..... Elvis. I've been a huge Elvis fan ever since he started out in the early 50s and, in my humble opinion, the movie is a "Must See" for anyone who doesn't know the whole story of the life and times of the "King of Rock-n-Roll" and wants to get a pretty darn good picture of what it was all about.
Perfect timing on this reaction. Elvis passed away on August 16, 1977 at age 42. I remember that day like it was yesterday. One of the saddest days in entertainment history. RIP Elvis. We still miss you 45 years later. Someone mentioned the movie The Game Plan that features this song. It is a fun movie that has The Rock in it. Your girls would love this movie as well. Such fun.
There’s a great live version of this from his concert in Hawaii. RIP Elvis
Love my Elvis and he has so many great songs. Rest in peace
I Miss his music and this GREAT artist!
I really would have loved it if Elvis was alive and still making music in the 1980s. I know it would have been great
I watched him perform this live in Las Vegas he was amazing
Suspicious minds and in the ghetto are my all time Elvis favourites.
I remember this so well!! It came out in 1972!!! A LONNNG time ago, yet fantastic, Elvis - WOW!!
The live version was awesome. take a look at it.
Guess what...When Elvis did the Live broadcast "Aloha from Hawaii" (1973), they made him change the lyrics when it got to 'the flames are now licking my body' part. It was too suggestive for TV, at the time.
ELVIS was my FIRST concert! (I was in 6th grade and loved Elvis's music)
My mother got tickets for her and I, and we sat in the 6th row from the stage.
Well, it was the first time I realized that the women there liked Elvis for MORE than just his music! (I think that was the light-bulb moment for me, that the women saw him as being sexy when he sang).
Elvis was classy, but very very very..(another) very, SEXY at the same time.
So when Jay caught that line, it was definitely a line that Elvis worked when he was on stage...He didn't even have to do anything, but say the words and women were over the moon! :)
Thanks for this! The King lives forever. Of all his legendary songs, Burning Love is my favorite.
Great backing vocals and musicians behind one of the greatest singers ever. This song, "Kentucky Rain", and "Suspicious Minds" are my favs. The studio versions are musical perfection.
RIP Elvis.
Guys, thankyou, so much, for your great respect for Elvis, today!! ❤️
Just do yourselves a favor and watch Aloha from Hawaii from 1973. Just do it. You will love every second of it. The voice, the band, the background singers, the outfit, the scarves, the dancing. His interaction with the band and singers and with the audience will make you love him. You will learn that Elvis loved music and you feel that. Elvis was incredible. Just incredible.
i've seen all the comments about these people only listening & not watching live; in this day & age w-all that's available, it does not make sense; i won't be returning -- it isn't worth it
Elvis 68 Can't Help Falling in Love with you your daughter could watch. He walks around the center stage singing to the ladies in the audience being a proper Southern Gentleman.
AMBER~!!! YOU HIT THAT NOTE ON POINT!! You go girl. 😊✌💛
Elvis Presley was a great human being as well.
You should always do a live version of Elvis , his stage presence is everything !!!
I agree the stage versions are great, but do you realize that by only watching them you're missing out on so many great songs that Elvis never performed live or that weren't filmed? And most on TH-cam now include slide shows or random videos. I hope you'll give them a chance.
Everytime I hear this one it takes me back to my best friends living room and us dancing to Burning Love! RIP The King of Rock and Roll. ✌❤🎶
elvis did it all and was the first at everything besides his incredable voice and charisma generosity kindness humility gospel yes he sang peace in the valley on the ed Sullivan show never before or since has anyone done that he says thank you and God bless you like he has blessed me you will never see anyone close to our 1 and only king elvis the goat
I just adore the amazing drumming by Elvis’s long time drummer Ronnie Tutt. Amazing
I think you guys still need to react to Elvis singing "American Trilogy" live. It will blow you away. Much love from England 🏴
Burning Love best song ever you need to watch this live Aloha from Hawaii
Yep! One of those later songs that I still really really love. Is also still on my run-music-list... singing: it's hard to breath and my chest is a heaving while running as fast as you can.
For all the things Elvis went through over his career one thing never failed. His voice was always on point! RIP to the King!
My son 12 years ago sang this song to his new wife at the wedding. He couldn’t dance like Elvis, he didn’t have a voice like Elvis, but he sang it anyway!!!
