FABULOUS REACTION SEPH 👏👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹🌹💓💖💓💖💓💖💓💖💓💖🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
🎶OH HAPPY DAY🎶 2 BANGERS IN A ROW 💣🔥💥💣🔥💥 YIPPEEE 🙌💃🙌💃🙌💃🙌💃
SO HAPPY! FOR YOU & ME!
You have made me sit on the edge of my seat, heart pounding, legs shaking wondering & hoping like all heck if you would like this song or that song (the ones that are my personal favorites anyway).
THAT'S PART OF THE FUN OF YOUR ELVIS REACTIONS THOUGH- ANTICIPATION IS EVERYTHING 😂😂😂
(Did you take some pointers from Elvis Seph? Hmm...)
TCB ⚡ & TLC ❤ & peace ✌& blessings to you & yours & to one & all here as well 💕
Brook Benton did this song? Love some of his stuff. It's Just A Matter of Time. Boll Weevil Forgot all about him.
Everyone who as anyone (almost) did I Really Don't Want to Know, but nobody did it better than Elvis. The list of artists who covered this song takes me back to my youth. Some great ones in there. Thanks for this.
@@jjbud3124 Hahaha! From Gene Pitney to Brook Benton made me go: "No way!" My Aunt LOVED Gene Pitney even though I am not a fan I had to listen to a lot of him being played growing up 😁
And too anyone who is into Old Hollywood Love Scandals & Ill- Fated Affairs knows that Pier Angeli married Vic Damone instead of James Dean.
On the set of "East Of Eden" James Dean and Pier Angeli started a hot and heavy affair. He really did love her. Her mother was VERY controlling though. Very Italian and very Catholic. She was VERY against her daughter's love affair with James Dean. It's a long, convoluted story that ends in tragedy. Pier Angeli purposely OD'd on some medication of hers in 1970 and in her note she said she can now be happy in heaven with her one true love. Really sad. She and Vic Damone did not have a very happy marriage from what I read anyway.
I have reacted to Gene Pitney here on the channel :D
@@SephPlays Yep. I remember. I do believe I left a comment too saying that I was not a fan of the guy but also no hate on him as a singer at all 😊
@@sammy_the_uncool2702 Hey, those are the artists of my youth. I love every one of them. Those are the singers I danced to and roller skated to when I was a teen. Gene was a pretty decent singer, but I have a thing for baritones.
In a big country magazine, they voted Elvis as number 14 country singer of the 20 century back in 1999. Elvis could sing any genre and be among the best .
Another BANGER BANGER BANGER All DAY LONG! I repeat...Ooooh.. Elvis goosies and his sexiness is so powerful. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Definitely goodies to the max,the series man ever❤👑❤️
Elvis really loved this pne . He sang it until the end
Just spent a minute wondering what the latest acronym pne stood for, and then dummy as I am see the 'p' is next to the 'o' on the keyboard. 🙂
@@gorse9030 🤣🤣🤣
He is in the country hall of fame. The R&B, hall of fame, the Rock Roll hall of fame, and the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. Everybody claimed Elvis in their Genre. To say he's versatile is an under statement. That's why he has so many fans. Loved it Seph.
This isn't just "Country" but a fusion of "Country with Blues" a separate genre altogether and Presley was a master at it, he was at the fore front in developing the innovative modern "Country sound" during this period of his career that is so popular to this very day, something he rarely gets credit for!
I just have to pop in and re-watch this from time to time because it's super high on my list of favorites. Nobody could do vocal gymnastics like The Elvis!
Really Love this Song, kind of Blusy Country, Elvis just had a voice that could sing "almost" anything and make it Special.❤
A definite Banger!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
That voice, awesome. He s great at country
Banger 2 times.
Banger,banger, banger banger. Play it again steph.
This song completely captivates me & "Elvis Country" is one of my most favourite albums. Seph, it's the best thing in the world, watching you react to these great ballads, knowing you love Elvis every bit as much as we do 😍❤
Wow! Powerful vocals. I love this song and his voice is just amazing! I'll listen to this 10x over! 🥇⚡🔥 Nice reaction Seph. A Banger!
I’ve never been a big country music lover, until I heard Elvis sing it! Oh my 😊❤ be still my heart!
Country music has never sounded any better! I grew up listening to Classical & Pop music, as well as Boeremusiek. Never had a love affair with Country or the Blues. Until Elvis!
*OH WOW HIS VOCAL PHRASING GENIUS NOBODY CAN PLAY WITH THEIR VOCALS LIKE ELVIS NOBODY* Such A Gorgeous Country Song - I LOVE ELVIS' COUNTRY MUSIC GREAT REACTION MY SWEET LAD!!!!! HEHEHE
Elvis sang it live in 1977 few weeks before he passed. The live is even shorter but it is fantastic.
I didn’t really care for country until I got into Elvis’s music about a year ago. Since then, I’ve learned that the primary purpose of music is to convey and elicit emotion, and, as Elvis is the best at doing that, he can make any genre appealing!
Love it, love it. You are into some wonderful songs today.
Elvis performed it live 11 times on his last tours from May-June 1977. It's vocally powerful.
Best song of this album in my opinion awesome!
Hell yeah! This is one of his best country songs yea there’s more that break your heart and tear your heart out. TCB⚡️
I always liked the live version of this, even if he always did it too short!
I love Elvis’s country!
THE PASSION❤
This is one of my favorite Elvis songs. He does it superbly. Many times better than the original (Eddy Arnold). All the best singers of the time tackled this one. Elvis is best. Way too short, but you can listen over and over.
Another good one today! 💕 Banger
Another great one today, oh man that voice is just a Gods gift. With a voice like that and a good song to match it, that's just perfection. I enjoy every second. Double banger imo.
At least a double!
Yay we are back to bangers💣I really like this song - got a nice bluesy/country vibe to it and Elvis seems to be really into the song giving it his all and sounding great 🎧🎤
This a bit of a hidden gem l think , it’s a bit different and l love it
3rd comment: Edited Article (I had to 😞💔) Don Roberson Songwriter Info + Elvis & Don Info:
Elvis first recorded one of Don Robertson's songs, I'm Counting On You, in 1956 for his first RCA album, Elvis Presley. A few years later, Elvis invited Don to come to Radio Recorders in Hollywood to meet with him. They met and talked and hit it off. After the session, he invited Don to come up to his house for the evening. This was the first of many get-togethers in Hollywood, Bel Air and Las Vegas. Elvis not only admired Don as a songwriter but also as a pianist. Don can be heard accompanying Elvis on piano, organ and electric piano on the soundtrack of the movie, It Happened At The World's Fair. In total Elvis Presley recorded 14 of Don Robertson's songs, six of which are in Presley movies.
Donald Irwin Robertson was born in Peking, China 1922 to O.H. and Ruth Robertson. His father, a noted physician and medical scientist (developer of the first Blood Bank), was then head of the Department of Medicine at Peking Union Medical College. His mother, herself a talented pianist and poet/playwright, noticing his interest in the piano, started him on lessons at age four. He began composing simple songs around age seven.
Some Of The Artists Don Has Recorded With On Keyboards:
Elvis Presley - Johnny Cash - Nat 'King' Cole - Duane Eddy - Chet Atkins - Waylon Jennings - Jessi Colter - Bonnie Guitar - Charley Pride - Al Martino - Kay Starr - June Carter Cash - Jack Clement - John Prine - Billy Swan - Tamra Rosanes - Ann Margaret - Sheb Wooley
There's Always Me
I had received a phone call from one of Elvis' assistants (don't remember who) who told me that Elvis had said he wanted to meet with me and I was invited to go over to Radio Recorders in Hollywood where he was doing some sessions. When I got to Radio Recorders I was directed down a main hall toward the control room of the studio where he was working. A door was open to the studio and as I walked past I could see Elvis standing in front of a microphone. He was wearing a sea captain's hat and was looking very dapper. I continued to the control booth and was directed to a little lounge off to the side with a view of the studio. In a few minutes Elvis took a break and came in to the lounge and we shook hands and introduced ourselves. We talked for 15 or 20 minutes, trading brief autobiographies. I remember one phrase verbatim when he was talking about Sun Records and the secretary/assistant to Sam Phillips. Elvis said to me, 'if it hadn't been for her I'd still be driving a truck'. When he went back to work, the first thing he did was to walk up to his vocal mike and, looking at me with a mischievous smile on his face, sang a naughty version of the first few lines of There's Always Me.
During another break, Elvis invited me to come to his house after the session, along with the Jordanaires and some of the musicians. That evening, at his house, he played me his recorded version of There's Always Me - it was the first time I had heard it. There were lots of people in the room. He was rather secretive about his new unreleased recordings so we listened on headphones.
Just before the recording reached the end, he said to me: 'Listen to this ending'. He was very proud of his semi-operatic delivery of the title line at the end, as well he should have been.
To my surprise, he knew all about my having originated Floyd Cramer's piano style and announced to the room that I was the one that had invented Floyd Cramer's 'slip-note' style. It makes me sad to think about it, because I never really told Elvis how good he made me feel. Nor did I ever tell him how much I appreciated his fine renditions of my songs. I guess I assumed he knew how good he was. But I wish now that I had put it into words. It taught me a lesson. Now, whenever an artist does an outstanding rendition of one of my songs I make sure I thank the artist [and, if possible, everyone else who worked on the record]. I don't believe that any of them, no matter how rich or famous, are immune to expressions of appreciation from the writer.
I'm Yours
Hal and I originally wrote this for the wedding scene in the Presley movie, Blue Hawaii. We were on a roll that year. The songs just seemed to pour out. We were living a few houses away from each other and were together almost every day, living and breathing songs.
I Met Her Today
I usually made my demos in Hollywood at the famous Gold Star Studios with the legendary Stan Ross manning the board. I Met Her Today was an exception. I played and sang it live for the Aberbachs (Hill & Range Songs) in their offices in the Brill Building at 1650 Broadway in New York City (where many music publishers were located) and they wanted me to make a demo right away, so I went to a little studio nearby (just voice and piano as I recall). After 1960, I made some of my demos in Nashville.
Chet Atkins once told me that my renditions were at their best when I played and sang at the same time - that I sounded different than when I overdubbed the vocals. I find it more demanding and harder to do, doing it at the same time, but if it sounds better I guess it's worth it. It worked both ways
The more I listened to Elvis, the more I tended to write the songs and sing the demos in his style. It was a fortunate coincidence that we both had about the same comfortable vocal range (his was greater), and we understood each other's phrasing. He also liked my accompaniments, whether just piano, or with small or large orchestras. At his house one time, he told me how much he liked the intro and fills on I Met Her Today and on Anything That's Part Of You and asked me to play them several times for him on his grand piano.
They Remind Me Too Much of You
One evening at Elvis' house in Bel Air he asked me to play his piano and we spent some time jamming, with Elvis and some of his friends singing. It was not long after that that I got called to play on his sessions for the soundtrack for It Happened At The World's Fair. We recorded for about twelve hours at Radio Recorders, completing the entire soundtrack in one day. There was a moment, when I had to fight for They Remind Me Too Much of You, when someone mentioned that it resembled Chapel In The Moonlight. It wasn't Elvis that noticed the similarity, it was someone in the control booth while we were rehearsing.
I was afraid they were going to throw the song out of the session, so I worked out new opening notes at the piano. Then I went over to Elvis where he was standing in front of his vocal mike and I sang him the new notes. He said, 'Fine. I think I can do that!' So that's the way he sang it on the next run through, and the powers that be in the booth said OK and we did a finished take.

Can you imagine if a girl asked him these questions? He wouldn’t be able to count them. 😂😂He’s great the way he sings it. 🎸🕺🏻🎸🕺🏻❤❤
It might be a country song, but Elvis sings it with a blues feel.
Yess i 100% hear the Bluesyyyyy kinda feel!
Yes your kind of song Seph with those thoughtful words.
👑✌️
💕💕💕💕
Its been said Elvis could definitely have sang Oprah also,Can you imagine a voice naturally as beautiful as his ? Just born like that,Unbelievable!❤👑👑👑👑👑❤️
Oh boy, you gave me a chuckle and a half. You mean he could sing opera, I think. 🤣🤣
Hahaha I think i could also sing Oprah hahahaha
@@SephPlays Sure you could.
I have been a transcriptionist a good part of my life, typing the words of others. I can't tell you how many times I start to type a word and it comes out as a totally different word and I never catch it when I'm typing. I always have to proofread.
When i was in college i was taught how to touchtype, but even with me always looking at what i'm typing i still make manyyyyyyy spelling mistakes haha

June 7 1970 RCA Studio B - Nashville, Tennessee
June 7, A new idea began taking shape. The original plan to cut just eighteen songs could not have included any thought of a second album, but on the fourth night, all of a sudden, a country album began to emerge.
When I'm Over You ZPA4 1615-01
I Really Don't Want To Know ZPA4 1616-04
Faded Love ZPA4 1617-01
Tomorrow Never Comes ZPA4 1618-13
Tomorrow Never Comes (Work Part) ____-01
The Next Step Is Love ZPA4 1619-11
Make The World Go Away ZPA4 1620-03
Make The World Go Away (Work Part) ____-01
Make The World Go Away (Composite) ZPA4 1620-SP
Funny How Time Slips Away (Remake) ZPA4 1621-01
I Washed My Hand In Muddy Water ZPA4 1622-01
Love Letters ZPA4 1623-05
After a slightly disappointing previous day, there were some top notch performances on June 7. Again the weakest tracks are those which found their way on 'Love Letters from Elvis'. Among these are a remake of Love Letters, which doesn't come close to matching Elvis' original recording from 1966.
The standout track from this day was Tomorrow Never Comes, which builds to a dramatic Roy Orbison-style crescendo - Elvis can even be heard on an outtake jokingly singing the intro to Roy Orbison's Running Scared.
Elvis also really delivers on Willie Nelson's Funny How Time Slips Away and Don Robertson's I Really Don't Want to Know. The latter provided Robertson with his first major success when it was recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. It was one of many Robertson compositions recorded by Elvis, including Anything That's Part Of You, There's Always Me, I Met Her Today and I'm Counting On You. The arrangement on It's Funny How Time Slips Away borrows from Ricky Nelson's 1966 version, which appeared on Ricky's great country rock album 'Country Fever'. Both versions feature James Burton's great work on dobro.
Okay that's it for now! Will try to post more info on this one (recording session info) at a later time, promise!

@@SephPlays Oh man... I seem to recall when you were still in the 1950's era of Elvis's career you put out 3 or 4 (maybe even 5?) Elvis reactions in one day. I did not put down any information whatsoever. I just congratulated you on a fantastic reaction and threw down some emojis in my comments 😁
I know I put down info in your early Elvis reactions mostly when you had a question.
I do remember info dumping & quite heavily on "Blue Christmas" & "White Christmas".
You liked 💙🎄 & didn't care for Elvis's rendition of ⛄🎄 at all 😉
