He’s actually from the ghetto… He grew up poor as dirt and worked hard for everything that he had… Love the reaction! ❤️
💯
I am currently in a small town just about 15 minutes away from his birth place in Tupelo, Mississippi. He spent a lot of his childhood poor and just happened to be in the right place at the right time recording a song for his mother when he was discovered. Some say it was that upbringing that led to his style of fancy clothes and a chains and a ring on almost every finger. But he never forgot his roots.
It’s amazing to me that his Grammys were for his gospel music. And I think that’s was his true love. The rock and roll was his job.
@@dcholmes1969 I'm in Memphis, and it is amazing to me how the ghetto was a step up from his early years.
he was not from the ghetto. it was a time of great civil unrest, he was trying to make a statement.
@@MrBonners I guess it all depends on your definition of what a ghetto is. I wouldn’t say any small town like Tupelo would come close to say a New York or Chicago. But he was in the poorer section of “town” during his childhood. Of course I get this third hand from not only my Mother who was raised here from 1930s to the ‘50s until she also moved to Memphis to have a better chance at “the American dream” as she would often say. I also spent many years working at WTVA (The local tv station here in town) where, almost annually on his birthday we’d do a mini documentary of his early years here in Tupelo.
Elvis was born in Tupelo, Mississippi in a very poor side of town. His twin brother was stillborn. He used to go to church in the black section of town to hear the preaching and sing with the black folk. He loved their soul. He was very familiar with living on the poor side of town. They eventually moved to Memphis, Tennessee. He was an outcast for his style and being poor. Well, he showed them.
Elvis was born Southern, dirt poor, immensely talented & with a kind, generous heart. Don't let caricatures fool you. There are many reasons the man was so loved all over the world & still is.
A true icon.💙☮💙
Elvis was born in a two room shotgun shack with no electricity or running water in Tupelo Mississippi. He grew up extremely poor and gave away most of his fortune during his lifetime Elvis died with limited funds in his bank account because he gave away his money. He was a great humanitarian also most people do not know this. If you react to If I Can Dream the version in the white suit his dedication to Martin Luther King Jr it tells a lot about Elvis.
He died with about 5 million dollars in the bank (worth about 20 million in today's money). Of course you're exactly right, if it wasn't for his extreme generosity he could easily have had hundreds of millions. He kept what he needed for himself and his family's security and gave away the rest.
Something I find extremely sad is this song was released over 50 years ago, and yet everything he sang still rings true...
No forward progress, just angrier people, sad people, hurt people.
Sad that over 50 years ago this was the reality of those times, harboring those same feelings.
Sad reality
No one would record this Mac Davis song as it was too raw, especially during the race riots in the 1960s. A top RCA executive said we can't release it. Elvis heard it and said, "That's my next single, son" and walked away. The great Sammy Davis Jr famously turned it down. Only Elvis was willing to risk his career to get that record on the air-waves. Only Elvis could have performed it and gotten the radio play when it came out in the late 1960's, during the Civil Rights Movement. He made it his platform. One of his major public statements on the issues of racism and poverty. Without uttering a single press release or public statement. Not a single political word or comment. Amazing power of song by a very brave and loving human being.
Great history, thanks for sharing!
This song wouldn’t be the same without the wonderful gospel singers. Elvis led by example. He didn’t see colour indifference. He saw and heard talent. Great reaction.
@@pampennyworth Oh definitely Pammy. And Elvis would be the FIRST to admit it. The SWEET INSPIRATIONS would sing EVERY LIVE VERSION with Elvis. They were a BONDED PAIR. The Sweet Inspirations also sang on all the Aretha Franklin albums. But once they met Elvis, they just all CONNECTED into lifelong bonds. It went beyond the music. I think that's why they sounded SO WELL TOGETHER. They jammed ALL DAY AND NIGHT. No other act in Vegas or the entire world had a CHANCE to compete. They were THAT TIGHT.
not true AT ALL.
Did not know it was a Mac Davis song. Good info!!
Those angelic background singers need a HUGE shout out. 👏💜💚💛 Elvis was born in Tupelo, Mississippi. He grew up very very poor, and then moved to Memphis with his parents. I was just in Tupelo a few weeks ago. The house where he was born has been preserved and is now a big tourist attraction.
Whitney Houston's mom was one of those backup singers :-). And she loved Elvis.
This song is still true almost 50 years ago. Sad, but true. Elvis grew up very poor, which was why he was so generous with his money. Love the reaction ♥️
But what is the solution to this, abortion? People of all races are born poor and desperate?
@@glennfarris305 I don’t know the answer, but it’s not abortion. ♥️
@@glennfarris305 people being better to each other and less selfish and greedy. But humans suck so it will never happen
@@glennfarris305 People have the right to life.
@@jonluzzi3015 but what does that mean?
Oh my God! I can’t believe you guys just shouted out to me. You’re gonna make me cry. I’m a big fan of Elvis. I actually had the opportunity as a young child and a teenager to see Elvis perform in person. Once and ‘70 and again and ‘76. It’s was very clear in 76, he wasn’t doing well. Then he died in ‘77.
I was reading your comment, and they said your name. 😆
Hi Michelle!
@@kierstenridgway4634
Hi Kiersten,
Hope all is well 🥰
I remember at age 5 my dad wanted us to see Elvis in Greensboro NC but they were sold out, so we were going to find someone scalping tickets. When we got to Greensboro we got off the exit and came up on a blocked road that resembled a license checkpoint, but they were checking to see if you had tickets. If you didn't have tickets they turned you around lol. Couldn't get within a mile of the venue without tickets.
@@westleyburgess3622 🥺
Elvis grew up poor and hungry. He understood what this song meant when he recorded it. He did not write this song and he did not originally record this song. But but his take on this song is original is heartfelt.
Elvis actually came by his iconic style because Liberace suggested it to him! The two became lifelong friends!
He was born in Tupelo Mississippi but lived his life in Memphis.
You guys should check out the documentary- Elvis &The Black Community. If I Can Dream & Suspicious Minds.
EXCELLENT recommendations!!!
I was 13 years old playing on the front porch when my momma came flying up the driveway in her car, ran past me with tears in her eyes! She turned the TV on for any news about the death of Elvis. She cried as if a family member had passed. This man touched peoples soul and had an effect on them that was and is to this day unmatched. I just sent her a song via audio text for valentines day and yes it was "Love me Tender"
Your a good son.
Michael Jackson's death broke the internet, people were sobbing for weeks. John Lennon's murder, worldwide outpour of such pain, emotion and tears, unimaginable sorrow and still felt to this day. People have reacted very strongly to these untimely deaths, Whitney, George Michael...even recent death of young Taylor Hawkins (shocking, still has me shook). SO, your comment on unmatched is ridiculous.
Elvis is Elvis
Oh man, my Mother and Sister cried for three weeks straight. I get it though. I love Elvis. The talent that man had and how he was with people, all people, made him the King.
@@christopherone1 I'm definitely very upset about Taylor and I am going to say it whether I get chastised or not, but he had the vaccine. When he died, his heart was over 600 grams. The normal size of a heart for someone his age is about 300 grams, half the size of what his heart was. The drugs in his system, for the most part, would not have done that and most of them were prescribed. I looked up most of the ones listed and they were not known for making your heart swell, but guess what is? Yup, the vax. I hope they are truthful about how he died when it comes out. I really feel it was that.
Elvis was born in tupelo Mississippi was dirt poor,moved to Memphis Tennessee as a young teen lived in public housing .had a twin brother Jessie Garon who died at birth.
Can't go wrong with Elvis. Was released by Elvis 1969. That's Elvis's clothes is his own style.
It was written by Mac Davis
Hey guys. Elvis is from tupelo Ms,, lived in the ghetto there. In a shotgun house, then moved to Memphis TN, where he grew up.in low poverty housing, until he broke out when he became the biggest phenomenon.the world has ever seen . His home is Graceland in Memphis,it is the 2nd most visited home in the country. people come from all over the world to sée Graceland every day, it's open to the public, you will walk back in time to the 70s. He has sold more records than any other artists and he's been gone 45 yrs. His popularity will never stop growing. He was a gift from the Lord to bring pleasure and love and humanity to all. Keep up the journey on Elvis, it will take you far. React to IF I Can Dream, a tribute to MLK. Thanks Lori Sutton.🤺🤺🤺🤺⚡⚡⚡⚡
This damn song been making me cry my whole dang life. My grandma had it on vinyl and I used tobplay it after after she died because we both loved it. She also grew up super poor and didn't want to forget.
Elvis grew up in a Tupelo, Mississippi ghetto; Dad, Vern, was in jail for bad checks. He sang in church...Gospel was his first love...he sang "That's All Right, Mama" in 1954, when a teenager for his Mother's birthday, at Sun Records. He was a Spec 4 in the Army, got out in 2 years. Released "Heartbreak Hotel" in 1956 to a massive amount of controversy from religious groups because of his movements. He made a string of musical romance movies, that he didn't want to do. Finally got a decent script for "King Creole", his only b&w movie. He just wanted to make music. His singing career took a dip when his wife left him, and the Beatles arrived, his "Comeback Tour" helped immensely. When he sang "In the Ghetto", which his manager thought would kill his career, he fought to sing it, (it was written by Mac Davis about a childhood friend) and here we are...as relevent, and often played, today as it was in 1969, when it was released. Thank you for your great reaction.
Elvis was born in Teuplo, MS. Later in life he moved to Memphis, TN. Built a home and called it Graceland.
This song was written by Mac Davis, who recorded it as well. He also had many other hit songs including Baby, Don't Give Up on Me and Lord, It's Hard to Be Humble.
Additional trivia about Mac Davis, he was a country performer/songwriter from Lubbock Texas
It was offered to Sammy Davis Jr first and he turned it down
You beat me with your comment. I was gonna say the same thing. 😁
Baby Don't Get Hooked on Me
He was born in Tupelo, Mississippi 1935. His family was poor but he never let it define him. He sung songs then that no one else would.
Everyone popped their collar in the 70’s 😉
React to his If I Can Dream 💭
A tribute to Martin Luther King.
Elvis was raised in the slums of Tupelo, Mississippi and projects of Memphis, Tennessee . Attend black Baptist Church in Memphis as a teen and sung in the choir.
You need to check out documentaries about him.
Elvis and The Black Community parts 1 and 2.
Elvis was a die hard supporter of the black community, peep the game people
@@zohawn4398 really? what did he do for the black community?
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 Read my previous comment to you as well as other knowledgeable comments on this thread. Don't know where you're getting your hostile skepticism.
Zappa was the most overrated clown ever, elvis was the greatest singer entertainer
Always the same questions and answers, when do you want to provoke with your Statements?zappa fan, hahahaha
This is one of those songs that no matter how many times I hear it (which is a lot, I'm a huge Elvis fan) still gives you the chills.
Elvis is from Memphis, Tennessee where his iconic home Graceland is celebrating their 40th anniversary of being opened to the world with over 22 million visitors since 1982.
I think Elvis could and did get away with wearing just about any wild outfit he wanted. Just cause he was "Elvis." 🙂 Thank you for the reaction! Enjoyed it! 😉
Elvis WAS BORN IN Tupelo Mississippi, The house he was born in was built by his father and his uncle.. they moved around a bit, from the time Elvis was born until 1948 they moved a total of 8 time, the house he was born in still stands and is now a museum
It's important to note that Elivs also came from the Ghetto, he grew up dirt poor
As others have said, he grew up extremely poor, and was extremely generous once he acquired his fame and wealth. From 1960 to 1976, each year he gifted $1,000 each to 50 Memphis charities. In 1960, $1,000 was worth around $9,500 in todays money. He kickstarted the USS Arizona memorial fund at Pearl Habor, with a benefit show in 1961, when the fundraising had stalled. There are many other recorded instances of his individual acts, including giving a soldier returning from Vietnam $500 on a plane in 1970 ( which would have been 2 months pay ), buying a Cadillac for a middle aged black lady bank teller because she was peering through the showroom window when he was there, he bought his Graceland cook her own home outright and his Aloha TV Special in 1973 raised the equivalent of $475,000 for a Hawaiian Cancer charity ....
He was a beautiful man with an even more beautiful heart. My daughter has lyrics to love me tender tattooed on her arm
@@andreadeamon6419 That's so cool! I love it !
@@patriciamiller7595 i wish i could post the picture on here
You know who's just like Elvis in that way?
Justin Bieber, yup.. that kid is really good to ppl he sees less fortunate than he is.
He also gave around 200 Caddilacs away to freinds, family and strangers. And lots of juwelry, sometimes to fans in the audience, also he paid Jackie Wilsons hospital bills when Jackie was in a coma. And he gave much more away.
He was from Tupelo, Mississippi and grew up dirt poor. You can visit the house (google it) they lived in and it's about the size of a typical modern day living room. The video Elvis and Black Community is one you guys should watch. It really gives prospective to the type of person he was.
He was born in tupelo, Mississippi and moved to Memphis,TN that's when he grew up.
@Half and Jai- Elvis was born in Tupolo Mississippi and he and his family relocated to Memphis when he was 13. Memphis is where he would call home for the rest of his life. His home called Graceland is there and has has been open to the public to tour since 1982. Thanks so much for reacting to this song In The Ghetto. Elvis could relate to this song because he grew up dirt poor and was around black people.
Elvis was from the south. Elvis was born in Mississippi and grew up with his parents. Elvis grew up as very poor and Elvis grew up during an upbringing from his parents where all Americans were equally worthy regardless of the color of their skin. Elvis was partly an American Indian on his mother's side. Therefore, Elvis also had the characteristic cheekbones and nose inherited from the ancestors of his American Indians.
More Elvis please!! With a catalog of over 700 songs (in many different genres) there's a lot to explore. And a lot of people don't realize how much this man did in helping to start the civil rights movement and put an end to segregation in this country.
what!!!!
he helped start the civil rights movement and put an end to segregation!
what drugs are you on?
he fucken did nothing like that!
he did nothing for civil rights!
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 Can't let that go, man--you must have bought into the fake hype from a jealous DJ back in the day that Elvis was racist. You are totally mistaken. Do a history search if you are interested in facts. Elvis did more to help black music and musicians become mainstream, which helped lead to cultural and social change, than any other celebrity, back when it was a risky thing. He would refuse to perform if segregationist promoters demanded he leave his black back-up singers behind; Elvis was the only one with clout they couldn't say no to.There is information from black reactors and informative videos all over TH-cam verifying what I'm telling you. Celebrities like James Brown, Sammy Davis, Jr., Muhammad Ali, etc. all loved Elvis. Listen to his tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr. "If I Could Dream". Please investigate truth and don't spread falsehoods.
@@rickrhoden1 I think the truth lies somewhere between these two extremes. Elvis was not a racist, and fully supported blacks and the Civil Rights movement all his life, but to say he started or did more for the Civil Rights movement than any other artist is an exaggeration.
In the early 60's Bob Dylan wrote Blowin' in the Wind, which became the defacto anthem of the movement, along with other angry and scathing songs about segregation and racism. He, Joan Baez and other folksingers of the time performed these type of songs at civil rights gatherings throughout the south in places like Greenwood, Mississippi at great risks to their own safety
Those same musicians actually marched with Martin Luther King and performed at King's 1963 March on Washington where King's "I Have A Dream" speech was given.
It wasn't until 1968, after King's death, that Elvis began to use his voice to address Civil Rights with "If I Can Dream". Supportive as he always was towards civil rights and the black community, he hadn't previously given support to the movement publicly.
@@ptournas I agree Elvis was not an overt activist. I also believe Dylan had a big influence on culture, especially in areas of war/peace/governance. Elvis' influence in terms of cultural discrimination was more subtle and systemic, and was from his music and actions in the face of much more hostility than others had. His defiant entertainment style more directly confronted the status quo beginning in the 1950's, setting the stage, probably not intentionally, for subsequent progressive activism by entertainers; his enormous popularity kept this effect alive and not squelched. I don't believe he had a passionate vision for such--he was just its vessel. Many obviously had an influence; in my opinion, his was seminal.
@@rickrhoden1 While I consider Elvis' contribution to be very important, I wouldn't consider it to be seminal, though it definitely sparked an acceleration in the process that had slowly been building for many years. A growing number of independent disc jockeys had already begun playing some black music on predominantly white radio station by 1950. Sh-boom by the chords was the first black doo-wop hit on the top ten pop charts in 1954, two years before Elvis' first hit on the charts (Heartbreak Hotel), and Billy Ward and his Dominoes "Sixty Minute Man" hit #17 on the pop charts back in 1951. Coincidentally 1954 was also the year the first black artist had a #1 hit in England's pop charts, Winifred Atwell with "Let's Have Another Party".
Among those in the entertainment industry, I would consider Ed Sullivan to be more of a seminal force in the fight for racial equality, going all the way back to his production of the Harlem Cavalcade in 1942, and when it began losing money he paid out of his own pocket to keep it going. In 1948, after starting his TV show, he actually hired many black (and white) vaudeville stars to appear on his show. People thought it was odd that he continued to do this right into the sixties, long after vaudeville was dead, but he actually did it because he knew these people needed the money.
His show started on June 20,1948 and his first black guests were Billy Kenny and the Ink Spots on June 27, 1948. As he put on more and more black guests he began to get increasing numbers of death threats and complaints from viewers and advertisers. When Ford was threatening to pull there sponsorship, they sent an executive to speak with him. When the executive told him he needed to stop hiring so many "colored performers", he actually had him thrown out of the theater. He also supported them quietly and privately, He was a pallbearer at Louis Armstrong's funeral and paid all the expenses for Bill "Bojangles" Robinson's funeral out of his own pocket. Harry Belafonte also credited the show with being a big part of the civil rights movement. The death threats and complaints of viewers and sponsors hit a peak when he kissed Pearl Bailey at the end of a performance on the show. There were actually gas stations in the south that were refusing to serve car owners of Ford, Mercury and Lincoln models because of that incident.
Though I have no idea of his views on racism, Sam Phillips had a huge influence on the awareness of black performers, whether it was intentional or simply a byproduct of his determination to promote a white singer who could sing what was called "race music" back then. He was already grooming Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins for that purpose, and if Elvis hadn't done it, one of them would have. That doesn't mean they would done it as quickly as Elvis did, or have had the same impact on the speed of the integration of the black artists music in the white dominated business. Nor does it mean they would have shown civil rights to be as important and respected as Elvis.
Personally I don't think it serves any purpose to pick whose influence was "seminal" to the civil rights movement. After all, it was simply an extension of the call for equality that has been made since the end of the civil war, and there have been many important and influential people who have participated in that quest. In my opinion to pick any one of them, or a few of them as being "seminal" is a disservice to the others. But it's really a subjective judgement and we can agree to disagree on that. We do seem to be in agreement in many other aspects of his relationships to the black community and commitment to equality.
No one wore a collar like that except Elvis Presley!
Elvis is from the ghetto in Tupelo, Mississippi. His family moved to projects in Memphis when Elvis was 14.
I love Elvis and I never heard this song. He grew up poor and was very generous and shared his wealth. I'm pretty sure Elvis was was born in Mississippi but was pretty much raised in Memphis Tennessee from like age 13.
I'm 55 and even as a child this was my favorite Elvis song. I grew up in the country, way out in the country everyone is poor. The getto is a city thing.
Great reaction
Elvis was one of a kind his voice was undeniable he was poor when he was growing up so this was a statement from him from Mississippi
You could say this was sung yesterday and you would be right, "people don't you understand?" Tupelo and yes the poorest blocks, he crawled the way out with pure talent and hard work
Tupelo Mississippi def had ghettos in his day. He saw what we still see.
Elvis grew up dirt poor in the projects of Mississippi. He also had a twin brother that was stillborn
Once again singing with true emotions. Elvis was born in Tupelo Mississippi.
Captivating line at the end “another little baby child is born in the ghetto” referring to how the cycle continues
Just saw the trailer for a new movie about Elvis starring Tom Hanks as his manager Col. Parker. Looks interesting. Great reaction!
My man Elvis beautiful inside and out
Elvis lived in the Ghetto in Memphis. Y'all need to watch Elvis and the Black Community... you will learn a lot about Elvis Aaron Presley! He was a wonderful man!!!
Elvis was born in Tupelo in a shotgun shack built by his father and uncle .He move to memphis at 12 years I think where they stayed with relatives until they got government housing . They were dirt poor . When Elvis started to make it in music the first thing he did was buy his parents a house before moving to graceland later the next year
Elvis was born in Tupelo Mississippi in a one bedroom shack as a girl I visited his house and I swear the whole house could fit in my living room Graceland was such a remarkable achievement from the shack in Tupelo
Elvis upbringing was singing Gospel with blacks in church. He was the real deal. The ultimate rags to riches story
Could u react to Elvis and the black community the echo will never die. Thank u for reaching to Elvis. This is your second reaction to elvis.
I'm so glad y'all done lips Elvis reaction in the ghetto Elvis was born in Tupelo Mississippi but it aged thirteen he moved to Memphis Tennessee dirt-poor he was praised and Tupelo in a place called shakerag which was predominantly black although Elvis did not rock this song Mac Davis did Elvis was raised in the ghetto what song you need to hear is IF I CAN DREAM FROM THE 1968 COMEBACK SPECIAL LIVE is it the performance where he's wearing the white suit with the red scarf this performance will make you understand Elvis more it is a tribute to Martin Luther King
. Whitney Huston's mother, Cissy Huston was one of Elvis Presley's backup singers called "The Sweet Inspirations". Cissy Huston later had a stellar career as a gospel singer.
Hit Elvis emotional songs; like "My Boy, Are you lonesome tonight, Lord you gave me a mountain, etc.."
Elvis was born in property in 35 a two room shack for real in tupelo Mississippi then he moved his parents moved to Memphis Tennessee where he grew up on the first project of his kind which is the ghetto there is too much to say about how good generous and great the human being was he is by far the greatest of them all try Elvis in a black community I think you guys would get a nice eye opener of how it was started for him and what he had to do to continue I enjoy your reaction
Elvis is/was from Tupelo Mississippi. He was born Dirt Poor. Literally the shack he was born to had dirt floors. He started out singing Gospel in Church. He was a Truck Driver, when they first heard him sing the Light bulb went off in the Promotors head…” a White Man that sounds Black!” The rest is history…. SanJoséBob
You can see so much emotion on his face. 🤗(hugs)
His record label and management didn’t won’t to release this cause they thought it would ruin his career .. he said release it or I will find someone who will !! He wanted to shine on the light on the poor .. he grew up poor in Tupelo Mississippi and then in the hood on Memphis .. that’s why he was so generous . He just have a car to a guy on the street cause his clunker was barely going .. he gave like 40 trucks out to his friends one time .. hell Elvis was pimp’in that jewelry before anyone !!
Love this! Elvis was my first concert.
bullshit!
Elvis we born to a poor family as others have mentioned and he also has a twin brother who passed away at birth and Elvis talked many times about his brother and it’s affect on him.
I assume you guys saw the recently released trailer for the upcoming ELVIS film - if you haven't, check it out. Looks great!
elvis is the goat hands down nothing more to say
The writer of this song, Mac Davis, originally titled it "The vicious circle".
ELVIS is the G.O.A.T.
🔥🔥🔥THANKS FOR DOING THIS ONE!!!...🔥🔥🔥
I will never forget watching Elvis. What an amazing entertainer.
! Thanx Again !
- keep 'em coming -
Elvis born in the ghetto Southern flavor in Tupelo Mississippi and in Memphis TN where he lived in the ghetto.
Elvis was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and resided in Memphis, Tennessee.
Elvis was born in Tupelo Mississippi! Later in life moved to Memphis where he purchased Graceland which has been preserved and can be visited to this day!
My old boss had a 70's themed night for his 60th birthday. He told his wife to get him an Elvis type outfit. She didn't let him see it until the night. She had got him a pink glitter jumpsuit with matching platform boots. He was quite a large fella too 6.5ft tall and wide. Funniest party I ever went too he wore it all night long 🤣🤣
Yall some of my favorite humans !!!!! My favorite part is when he says are we to blind to see or do we simply turn our heads and look the other way ....it is a choice to help or just dismiss the problem.. May God richly bless yall !!! Love you both
Tupelo, Mississippi. He was raised really poor as well, but once he made it out, he would help people everywhere he went. He bought so many people brand new Cadillac's. He loved to give back and he did it his whole life.
Elvis's label said "Your not recording that song" Elis said yes I am" guess we know know who one that argument.
You gotta remember this song came out in the early 70s and it still relevant it’s still happening it is so sad we have to help our brothers or sisters show them love show them that they are special
Hey Jai missed you too🤚🏼👋🏼you guys are great. Half so Kool and Jai so beautiful GF y'all are a great vibe together🙌🏼👍🏼🧡
Born in Tupelo Miss.
He’s from Tupelo, Mississippi!! He was poor!! He truly “understood” what he sang about! It’s authentic which is why you can FEEL what he sings!
Elvis is from Mississippi but grew up in Memphis Tn. He and his family were poor folks until he made his recordings.
Elvis was born in Tupelo Mississippi. Poor of the poor. When he became famous he built Graceland in Memphis Tennessee.
Elvis's producer & Manager begged Elvis not to record the song, but Elvis insisted. This was of Elvis's "What's Going On" moment/statement.
He was born in Tupelo, MS but lived in Memphis, TN just north of Tupelo.
He was born in Tupelo, MS. They moved to Memphis, TN when he was like 10 or 12.
I LOVE you both 🥰
Long live the king
Elvis was from Tupelo, MS.
Love this beautiful couple. Their smiles a laughter are infectious 😊!
I think you should have played this song without pausing particularly at the end you pause it a few seconds before the end of the song. It is best played without pause to get the full impact of this song. Continuity is important on a song like this with a insight that folks really need to hear. Don't want to seem too critical as I am a subscriber and really enjoy your reactions.
Elvis was born in Tupelo, and moved to Memphis when he was around 10 years old. He lived in the projects in Memphis. In Tupelo he lived in a one bedroom cheep house that his father build. They were very poor, and that was the big reason Elvis wanted to make money, he wanted to buy a house for his parents. He did that in 57 when he bought Graceland. A crazy storie is that here in Denmark there is a replica of both, in a litte town (55.000) called Randers.
He was from Tupelo, Mississippi, and dirt poor. That song was actually written by Mac Davis(Baby Don't Get Hooked On Me). Everyone can relate if they Open their eyes. Love you
I get chills, when I hear him sing this. He was born in Tupelo & later lived in Memphis.
Great song and great reaction! Collars like that yes we wore those about 73 through 75 and bell bottoms about 76 77. They both came and went out of style pretty fast but for about 1 year I had bell bottoms lol! I love your comments you have a lot of wisdom!
Elvis was from Mississippi. He was dirt poor. His father built their 2 room shack that they lived in. Elvis loved to go to the local Baptist Church and sing. He was raised on Gospel music.
This song was originally called the Vicious Circle. Unless it's changed then this cycle will never stop. Still true today as it was back in the day
He understood what was happening in the world around him. We understand each other more than we think we do.
Shocked you have not already reacted to this, a classic of Elvis! Much love my favorite peeps!
Check out that new trailer for the movie they have coming out in June about Elvis. It looks really good.
Elvis was born in a 2 room shack in Tupelo, Mississippi. His twin brother died at birth and was buried in a shoe box. He never forgot his roots and was an extremely generous man with his money.
