    Paul Simon who wrote and sang this song was startled to discover that Elvis had taken on a song he’d written, although he did say it was a “touch on the dramatic side, but so was the song”. He continued, stating: “When I first heard Elvis perform ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’, it was unbelievable. I thought to myself: ‘How the hell can I compete with that?'”

      @@richardfarrell3460 I grew up listening to Simon and Garfunkles' original version and have always loved it. It was one of those albums that were always on replay for me, however when I heard the Elvis version I was blown away, why you may ask, for me it was the passion and his ability to express the feelings of the song. At the end of the day, we are all touched and moved by different things in our life . We are all different creatures with different tastes, needs, desires, etc so our opinions are subjective, but I do believe that Simons opinion carried more weight as they were his words that were being expressed.

Elvis lost his good looks due to ALL of the intense tours, bad diet & drugs just to be able to sleep & get up for a concert. It was a damn shame that his manager worked Elvis into the ground literally with Elvis having to do 2 shows a day while in Las Vegas for years, to pay off his managers own gambling debts. That's the 100% truth. Elvis never lost his God given voice that he had until the very end. Elvis Presley used ALL of his God given talents for good.

    Elvis Presley - The Jaycees Speech ---------
    When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer.
    I read comic books, and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies, and I
    Was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred
    Times. These gentlemen over there, these are the type who care, are dedicated.
    You realize if its not possible that they might be building the kingdom,
    Its not far-fetched from reality. Id like to say that I learned
    Very early in life that:
    'Without a song the day would never end
    Without a song a man aint got a friend
    Without a song the road would never bend
    Without a song... '
    So I keep singing a song.
    Good night.

    I may have mentioned this about 'Bridge' before. Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel originally wrote and performed it, and it was a #1 which they would also later use as a major number in their shows. So, they had heard Elvis was doing it and decided to see him live. While after the performance, Paul turned to Art and said, "OK, so WTF do we do now," as Elvis had elevated another hit to a whole other level which was also one of his gifts.

    Most the music by Elvis in the 70s was recorded from his live performances...and the amount of concerts he did in succession is just unimaginable--the power and consistency of his voice is truly a work of God. It's sad to see how quickly his health fell about from the rigorous schedule Col Parker committed for him. Part of that was not only performing live, but also contracts to produce 2-3 albums per year! To make that happen, this is why in his final years almost all of his albums were recorded live. However, the blessing is that now we all can hear how powerful and beautiful his voice is----time after time, concert after concert.
    I hope that more people find these videos to learn how great of a singer, but even more, how AWESOME he was as a performer. He was funny, soulful, and generous with his fans. I am grateful to have been a 70s kid to grow up in the Elvis generation, and I still get goosebumps and watch in awe of Elvis---the legend!

    True story. Elvis' vabrato was so unique that he literally couldnt be auto tuned. The vibrato covered too many cords and it would have confused the software. SO he was never auto tuned

    4:50 As the singer, I thought you might appreciate the fact that what he does in his final verse, Sail on Silver girl, is he makes the decision to jump up to what would normally be the Harmony Part and he makes that delayed and then he has his singers work around that instead and it's just another of those things that makes him such a brilliant arranger. He arranged his own songs and that's an aspect of Elvis that people don't often talk about and he was extremely extremely gifted at it. He could also play several instruments and he was a good musician even though he didn't really focus on that in his live performances.

    What did Paul Simon say about Elvis singing Bridge Over Troubled Water?
    Simon praised the "dramatic" version of the song in a 1972 interview. He added: "But so was the song. When I first heard Elvis perform Bridge Over Troubled Water it was unbelievable." He went on to berate himself, however, saying: "I thought to myself: 'How the hell can I compete with that?'Oct 25, 2022

    Just found your channel through this song. I'm a very long time Elvis fan and you know, he still is been under estimated by a lot of people. Like this song, in the gospel kind of way, he really believes when he is singing, that is why you get goosebumps with most of his live performances. Thx for being a "believer"😉👊👍.

      Funny we always realize how great or nice things were when they are gone. But in my case I never had the privilege of seeing him live and I was just a little older than you when he passed in 1977. The shock was there for over a year world wide. People just couldn’t accept it and for decades if you recall Elvis sightings were everywhere.

    This is a beautiful cover version of this song. Another good song of his is "In the Ghetto." Elvis was born very poor in Tupelo, Mississippi in a 2 room house. His twin brother was born stillborn a few minutes earlier than him. he was very close to his parents and had a gospel upbringing.

  • @missdancefan

    Simon & Garfunkel's version was a massive hit and Aretha Franklin's has a very sucessful gospel-inspired version of this song but Elvis gives the song a bit of a haunting sound imo. All 3 are remembered almost as if they were different songs. And they were all released within a couple of years of year other.

    You're so adorable! I love your reactions! Elvis was the king of EVERYTHING! I was born in 1967, so I was lucky to know of him before he died. Such a special man and so much heartache. His life was not his own, but he loved to make the audience happy. When he was on stage, it wasn't about the money, it was about the people who came out to see him. He shared his soul and gave it away

Thats rare, as a person who subscribes to many reaction channels, I must say your quality into both music and comedy reactions are really great. You make it look easy and i know its not.

    THANK YOU for this beautiful reaction.
    The original was written and recorded by Simon & Garfunkel in 1964, and it is a Masterpiece that I immediately fell in love with when I heard it so many years ago.
    Years later, I heard Elvis` version which didn`t really convince me at that time. Although I was an Elvis fan, in my mind, there was nobody who could top Simon & Garfunkel`s original version.
    Now, that I`m older, I see their and Elvis` version as two different songs.
    S & G`s version is like a musical Trip for me.
    Elvis` version is a demonstration of who he was. It`s as though the song was written for him.
    He has always been the one to be "A Bridge Over Troubled Water" for others. He lived the lyrics of this song, and that`s why I ALWAYS get goosebumps when I listen to his version. When he knew that someone was in need of help he acted instantly. That`s something the Simon & Garfunkel version doesn`t do for me. But their version is extremely beautifully made and I am their fan. It`s incredible how powerful and at the same time gentle their music is.
    I think everybody should listen to them. Even in 2023, their music undeniably stands out. They were one of a kind.

    BRITT! Now that you've seen this, and I don't know whether you would react to it or not but just for your personal gratification, and just because I know that you're a musician and a singer, I know you would absolutely totally dig this and you could see what I meant in my earlier comment about how Elvis doesn't get enough conversation usually especially on reaction channels about the fact that he was such a great arranger of his material.
    And so here is a rare and wonderful bit of rehearsal footage when they are literally working out the exact arrangement for Bridge Over Troubled Water that you just reacted to at the live Vegas show. It is so fascinating.
    And having played in bands my whole life, I know it's Elvis and these guys are really good, but it rings so true. It is so real.
    This is a real practice. There's some humor and goofing around, but there's also some really serious effort and just really trying to get it right, and it's great because he's literally making things up as he goes and deciding on arrangements.
    My favorite bit is when he finally hits on the idea of having the backing choirs do "when you need a friend", not in unison with him like they were starting to, but rather as a response to his call, call and echo style from the old gospel stuff. It's just so fun! And Oh Lord, dig those 1970 fro's with some of his band members and backing choir! That totally freaking rocks.

He asked if Elvis still did concerts and could we go. I had to explain that Elvis passed away a long time ago and he sings in Heaven now. He was so heartbroken. Same thing happened when he heard Whitney for the first time.
