"Follow that dream" was one of Elvis' best films... he was so funny and natural Great songs from this film... especially "Angel" Thanks for the interesting facts... fascinating!
Not only did this movie show Elvis’s “ beauty” but also the beauty and tenderness of his voice..loved learning all about the history of the movie and song...always enjoy his interaction with children...I maybe getting off the track here,but god, that man was gorgeous in blue! Nice one Scotty!👏
Good that you mention the 'tenderness' in Elvis' voice. I feel that after the '68 Comeback he lost that. When you listen to his pre 60's recordings his voice is like a musical instrument with a beautiful vibrato. Some will strongly deny this but I think you have to be realistic about it and admit there was a vast change.
Yes it became more gravely and had a rougher texture but the voice matured..that’s why his vocal exploits are fascinating.. My favourite period is the early sixties I’ve made no secret of that but equally I can find reasons to love his voice from any year.. His voice particularly from the Vegas engagement in February 1970 was unreal for hard hard rockers and big power ballads.. He was unmatched vocally by any other singer due to the fact he could sing anything in any style. Semi operatic to the tender ballads to the full voiced high-B’s in the early 60s to the high A’s and G’s in the 70s along with lots of other notes. At nearly a 3 octave range this guy was fully covered to tackle anything vocally
he was not only beautiful ❤️but he also was an amazing natural actor and a awesome singer/performer! I am loving this godgiven man already for 64 years!! And he still is able to give me massive fluttering butterflies😂Will always love you my beautiful man ❤️😘❤️
Yes! He was a natural actor, he had all of the right instincts and he could could do both comedy and drama. Even before the army, Parker and Wallis stopped a few movies that would have been perfect for him ("Thunder Road" and "The Defiant Ones").
Hello Scotty. I love this song . The voice of Elvis is great on this very rhythmic song. Lots of information that plunges us into the universe of this film. Elvis deserves his title of king 1000 times and he has inspired many other artists in all countries. great Scotty video. Thanks a lot and see you soon. RIP ELVIS. FRANCE.
One of my favourite Elvis movies and soundtrack, lots of memories for me, as I visited these locations in May 1990, and I have sat on that bridge in your first photograph! cheers my friend!
You amaze me Scottie; you are a walking encyclopedia on Elvis. Lucky for we Elvis fans. Enjoyed the show. Wish I had found your show sooner. Once again, great show gentleman. Until next time, keep up the wonderful work. I agree Elvis seemed to enjoy and very relaxed in this movie. He would have been a tremendous asset to Hollywood if they would have allowed.
Thankyou Lana..it’s just stuff that I’ve picked up over the years..I get things wrong every now and again but hey we are all human..too much to remember 😊
Follow That Dream is my very favorite Elvis movie. His performance in the movie is brilliant in my opinion, and unfortunately overlooked. Especially the scene in the courtroom where he acts as lawyer for the family. I had the pleasure of visiting Crystal River and seeing all the places it was filmed, including the courthouse. Great video Scotty! 😊❤️👍
Thank you Scotty! Love the music in the background...love your singing with it! Hahaha! Great information and do think he was happy during this movie! . Elvis humor shows through out! Love the songs too! Thank you again!🙏
Fantastic as always Scotty I agree with your comments regarding the way Follow That Dream was staged in the film have always thought it was unusual for such a dynamic song. Maybe the thought was this was the way his character Toby Kwimper would of acted when singing this great song love your work cheers Carl
Really like all the info you have. Elvis with his natural hair color and matching suit and boots on a horse must have been a beautiful sight to see at the ranch.!!
Electrifying this video:Follow That Dream,I am following my dream even though I have had similar issues with that journey. My hope is to bring more into my life happy times.🥰🌍❤🧡💛💙💚💜💕🍾👑🥂🔥💫🎆✨🎇👏
Thank you for sharing with us. I like this movie. It has been forever since I have seen this. Great performance by Elvis lol. It was sooo long ago. A Elvis fan for life. Long live Elvis!!
The scene in the bank with the loan officer in FTD (mistakenly thinking Elvis is a bank robber) is so fun.Thanks again for all your work: cool singing too🤠
Best stories and how you tell them ! I could watch and listen to you everyday and nite ❤️🙌🏼⭐️⚡️⭐️You are the best to share All Elvis history! GOD BLESS YOU 😇🍃🥰❤️⭐️🙌🏼⚡️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼Always so cool ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Hey Johnny B. Here, Love your videos too! Love Elvis' Performance in Follow that Dream Very underrated very difficult to play comedy straight the way he does and pull it off!!! LOVE ITS A WONDERFUL LIFE! KEEP UP THE VIDEOS!! ENVY YOUR RECORD COLLECTION!! THANKS JOHNNY B.
Great video Scotty.Love the story about Elvis giving the film crew hell. I remember being very excited seeing the Collectors Gold set in my local record store and bringing it home,my first Elvis boxset of many.Happy days

He stepped out radiant as an angel', Tom (Petty) said. 'He seemed to glow and walk above the ground. It was like nothing I'd ever seen in my life. At 50 yards, we were stunned by what this guy looked like. And he came walking right towards us'. Elvis' hair was so impossibly black that it glistened a deep blue when the sunlight hit it. [This is not so as Elvis had his natural hair for this movie] And that's when Elvis walked directly over to Uncle Earl, Aunt Ellen and little Tom Petty'. We were speechless', Petty recalled. As Uncle Earl introduced Elvis to his nieces and nephews, the King of Rock 'n' Roll smiled and nodded to each open-mouthed youngster'. I don't know what he said because I was just too dumbfounded', Tom said. 'And he went into his trailer'. Amazing how that encounter effected his whole life. Then he had that effect on many..we still talking about him. Good review of a time that I genuinely feel he was in a good place..he looked radiantly healthy..as Tom said glowing !
@@ScottysElvisPresleyMusicChanel yes, I've read that excerpt before, & obviously that day was a huge deal for Tom Petty, but it just goes to show how memory plays tricks! Great photos in your video, as always, many new to me. Nice too that you've given me the solace that, although I don't have your magnificent collection.....I do have the original UK EP!!
Hey Scotty, another great video! Never knew "A Whistling Tune" was pulled from this movie, that's why I love your channel, I learn something new every time I watch! Never knew Sugarfoot played on these sessions, just saw a film about his live story called Crazy, a lot of Elvis stuff in that film too. "Follow That Dream", great movie, great song, one of my fav's, I think he should have done more natural comedy like that, he was real good at it! Keep em coming dude! See ya!
Another top review ... it must of crossed his mind when working with the twins ... what he missed out on ... unbeatable vocals .... not bad money for one movie😉 Thx scotty 👌🏾Vicky
very good, my First Favorite song from FOLLOW THAT DREAM is "ANGEL" , then the Title Track , then "What A Wonderful Life", etc. +++ I Love this Film , I Love that ELvis went back to his natural hair color , it is one of my all time Favorite movies of ELvis , ++++++++

Like always Scotty the video was great. Follow that dream is one of my favourite films. I remember when l brought the EP in Weymouth. I was so excited l had it, but still had no record player. I had to wait a little while longer before that happened. Ellie. 🎼🎵🎶🕺🏻😊
Looking sharp my friend...could do with visiting your barber! I thought that too about E lying down while singing follow that dream. It’s a fast, flowing exciting song but he’s lying down..umm! Remember listing to it on my Sony Walkman too when I was about 16 & being carried away by the music into the stratosphere. Some very interesting content in here with some great music & pictures...what a great combination! People still think he’s alive ...wow! Nobody wishes that were true more than us but they just have to let it go. Cheers Tiger Man🤴🏻⚡️🎼
That’s the thing isn’t it..we all wished he was ..but when you know it’s not true I feel these people then get insulting which in the end shows their ignorance and tbh stupidity..oh well hope you are well dude😊
Hi Scotty good to see you my friend....one of my favourite elvis movies...Great content and facts again...your knowledge keeps amazing me...I'm learning so much I never really knew..Great video yet again....take care buddy...TCB.
There is only one Elivis.. l was a young boy when he was on top of the World. He was the best. I wish l could sing like him? He is the one and only king of rock and roll. He was the king.
Thanks for this Scotty, i just loooooove this film and the songs in it! He was just soooo gawjus and funny and talented. Talking pictures are showing Love Me Tender on sunday at 1 40pm.

I always thought they wasted this great song in the movie. It deserved so much better. One of the best songs the King ever recorded in my humble opinion. 👑
I love What a Wonderful Life one of my favorite songs in this movie and I really like the song Angel okie doke I love your demeanor and I think you're fantastic you're one of my favorite intelligent reactionary commentator thank you again
FTD is one of my favorite post army movies, it’s light hearted pure entertainment. He looks great and the the songs used for the movie he sounds wonderful. I always thought the song Follow that Dream jumps out of the speakers, it’s one of my favorites to listen to while driving. Great video as always, wonderful job editing in the pictures, many I never saw before, thank you.
Hi, only recently discovered your channel. I must say I think your enthusiasm and love for Elvis is brilliant. I watched the trip review you did with your brother about your 2012 visit to Memphis and just thought it was fantastic. The effort and attention to detail is staggering and just your natural gift to get this over is to be admired. If anyone finds the need to be negative they must be looking at something else. You've got to be one of the best Elvis channels out there.. keep up the good work. Like you and your brother I'm hoping for a surprise return trip to Graceland soon as..
Follow That Dream is a very good movie, and one that always seems so enjoyable to watch. it makes the perfect companion in a double feature with Kid Galahad. who would have ever thought that the title of an Elvis movie would eventually serve as the basis for the FTD collectors label beginning in 1999, with the release of Follow That Dream in 2004
My favourite film - best most relaxed acting to me :) Kid Galahad fight scenes are fantastic - pre Rocky - Im sure Sly saw and was influenced by that in some way amongst other films.
Enjoy your presentations thank you. In 1973 went Sydney to London, working holiday. At Hambleys was a young female Elvis fan. On her cash register name button she put Elvis as her name. She really loved him as so many did and do in the world.
I believe in Follow That Dream he cleverly delivered on playing d u l l witted. I have always received Elvis is very very clever. When I saw that handsome face I also picked up on his intelligence and his sense of goodness
Hi mate just seen video great good film showed Elvis as actor again I think I have Ep British release of this . Elvis hair looked good in both films but think he liked it black again after kid gal . Have this on blue ray to . Keep great work up mate I look forward to your video every week TCB Mark
Hi Scott. Great content, as always. I like how you glide from one subject to the next in your videos. Believe it or not, I'd never seen FTD before last year and I loved it. It became an immediate favourite Elvis film of mine. The soundtrack's not the strongest but Elvis was in tremendous voice. I particularly like the way he sings the word "lead" in the title track. Great singing.
Thankyou David..yes his vocal on Ftd is very underrated..I think it’s great. You pick out the nuances on the words of the vocals just like I do.. A very stylised vocalist was our boy..can’t think of anyone better ..take care sir😊
Follow that dream was the first time I really saw Elvis Presley and that blue shirt on television and even though I was a little girl I was mesmerized and to this day now that I'm ancient... Follow That Dream , will still be one of my all time favorite favorite movies and I really do believe that Elvis had real acting chops! He should have been given serious roles.
I truly truly appreciate how you ronen and pointing out some interesting facts on Follow that dream. My my favorites were King Creole Follow that dream wild in the country Jailhouse Rock and Viva Las Vegas LOL
Brilliant as always. I absolutely love this movie. Such a shame Elvis did not get a chance to hone his comedic skills in a movie of the same quality again. I actually read the book Pioneer Go Home over fifty years ago. I spotted the paperback in a second hand shop and Elvis was on the cover so I had to have it. They had of course changed the title to Follow That Dream. I now have the hard back edition in the original title. To this day I do not know another soul that has read. Nice gentle story with comedy and drama combined in a readable way. Take care. TCB ⚡ 👑
Loved Follow that Dream and thought Elvis was so good in it and looked like he was having fun. Every time I see Bloch Arena I think how sad it was that he didn't perform live again for so long.As for pills, They say if you remember the sixties you weren't really there so I don't think they were the only ones. I'm going to have to watch it again now! It's so interesting to get all the background on this - Great Review!
Just joined this site a few weeks ago and what can I say Fantastic.I collect anything to do with Elvis movies and to me these videos are the icing cake.Keep up the good work.x
Scotty, OUTSTANDING as always sir. And may I compliment you on your closing selection. My second favorite song from this particular film is What a Wonderful life. The film itself, does showcase what a wonderful feel for comedy, Elvis did in fact possess. And is once again lamentable, that he would not be allowed to properly pursue additional roles, that would have solidified this. Additionally, in regards to Mr. Petty, he further acknowledged that upon seeing Elvis in person, ( his dad was involved with background work on the set ), that he instantly knew he wished to be a Rock Star. A statement echoed by countless artists through the years. Charismatic, influential, diverse, transcendent and insightful. Sometimes mythlike, at times bigger than life itself. Yet always a man, humble, generous and kind. Scotty, your words always speak with an appreciative tone. Respectful, considerate and forthright. And I applaud your continued contributions. Follow That Dream, what an appropriate segment for a man and his brother who continue to acknowledge and realise a portion of their respective dreams. To enlighten, inform and provide a historical retrospective and perspective of a man so close to our collective hearts. Sincerely, appreciated my friend. A fan and subscriber Mike Beal 🙂🙂🙂
Except for the 4 movies Elvis made before the Army. Follow That Dream and Kid Galahad along with GI Blues are favorites of mine. I love Elvis with his natural hair color. I so enjoy your movie and music reviews. I keep learning new things about Elvis, his movies and people involved. I think Annie Helm was a great costar for Elvis. I did read that she fell in love with him but so many women he worked with did. Only Elvis ❤ Thanks for your great insights.
Hi Scotty, Great video once again. I really like this film and I also like Elvis with his original hair colour. So glad Elvis stuck up for his mates. I have learnt such a lot of you again Scotty, you really are a little gem 💎 thank you Scotty xxx 💝
❤ Elvis a natural actor and sings wonderfully too ! That is a real heavenly gift.
Thanks Great Memories
You shine a light into the heart and soul of
Elvis ....simply beautiful. Thank you🌻
"Follow that dream" was one of Elvis' best films... he was so funny and natural
Great songs from this film... especially "Angel"
Thanks for the interesting facts... fascinating!
You are very welcome..Angel was used in my trailer as it’s one of his very best😊
@@ScottysElvisPresleyMusicChanel I agree Scotty, and especially as he was dating the lady co star, gives it even more meaning!
Ahhhh...that voice 👌
No one better😊
Follow that Dream is a favorite movie of mine!!! Elvis was hilarious in it!
Sehr sehr schönes Lied von Elvis fantastic beautiful er bleibt in unserem Herz von Elvis, und seine Foto sehr schön beautiful 🗣🎙🎶👑💎💖👌👌
Another little gem that makes up that beautiful DIAMOND called ELVIS !!! GOOD WORK!
Thanks Vilma😊
Loved it! Always & Forever, the one & only. “ Elvis “ !!
Saw this a couple months ago. I think the part where hes addressing the Judge, is some of his best dialogue and acting.
Great episode. Thank you Scotty
I really enjoyed this one but I have not watched this film how I don't know but I will now ..bless you boy x
Watch it it’s got a great message in it😊x
I think Elvis is great in follow that Dream. He would've been a great comedic actor because he was naturally a funny person.
Very true😊
I love everything about follow that dream
Outstanding!!!! ⚡️
Thankyou James😊

I always thought they wasted this great song in the movie. It deserved so much better. One of the best songs the King ever recorded in my humble opinion. 👑
I just loved that movie.i loved Elvis in all his movies.thanks Scotty and.craig for the good work.ill be waiting for more.god bless you both.
Thankyou 😊
Another great video Scotty, we do appreciate all the hard work that you put into them, well done.
Thankyou😊
I love What a Wonderful Life one of my favorite songs in this movie and I really like the song Angel okie doke I love your demeanor and I think you're fantastic you're one of my favorite intelligent reactionary commentator thank you again
FTD is one of my favorite post army movies, it’s light hearted pure entertainment. He looks great and the the songs used for the movie he sounds wonderful. I always thought the song Follow that Dream jumps out of the speakers, it’s one of my favorites to listen to while driving. Great video as always, wonderful job editing in the pictures, many I never saw before, thank you.
Hi, only recently discovered your channel. I must say I think your enthusiasm and love for Elvis is brilliant. I watched the trip review you did with your brother about your 2012 visit to Memphis and just thought it was fantastic. The effort and attention to detail is staggering and just your natural gift to get this over is to be admired. If anyone finds the need to be negative they must be looking at something else.
You've got to be one of the best Elvis channels out there.. keep up the good work. Like you and your brother I'm hoping for a surprise return trip to Graceland soon as..
Thankyou very much Ken..really appreciate those wonderful comments 😊
Follow That Dream is a very good movie, and one that always seems so enjoyable to watch. it makes the perfect companion in a double feature with Kid Galahad. who would have ever thought that the title of an Elvis movie would eventually serve as the basis for the FTD collectors label beginning in 1999, with the release of Follow That Dream in 2004
Absolutely..it’s a great title but more importantly a really good performance from our boy😊
Rewatched this one again, lots of info, am learning lots, love these videos,
Keep it going, take care, Thanks Scotty, Cheers
Thanks..nice to read some lovely comments..😊
Thank u for showing some of the parts of movies while u explain stories from the book,
U are ready about Elvis, Love your channel.
Yes we are all about Elvis😊
Another great one, Scotty 👍.
Highly enjoyable 🤡
Thank you and keep on rockin ‘ 🕺
Thankyou Goran😊
This was wonderful, I absolutely loved it .
My favourite film - best most relaxed acting to me :) Kid Galahad fight scenes are fantastic - pre Rocky - Im sure Sly saw and was influenced by that in some way amongst other films.
Enjoy your presentations thank you. In 1973 went Sydney to London, working holiday. At Hambleys was a young female Elvis fan. On her cash register name button she put Elvis as her name. She really loved him as so many did and do in the world.
Enjoyable film.I bought the original ep when it came out.Played it a lot
Nice one😊
I believe in Follow That Dream he cleverly delivered on playing d u l l witted. I have always received Elvis is very very clever. When I saw that handsome face I also picked up on his intelligence and his sense of goodness
Hi mate just seen video great good film showed Elvis as actor again I think I have Ep British release of this . Elvis hair looked good in both films but think he liked it black again after kid gal . Have this on blue ray to . Keep great work up mate I look forward to your video every week TCB Mark
Thanks Mark..yes Girls Girls Girls it’s back to black
Wonderful 👏
Hi Scott. Great content, as always. I like how you glide from one subject to the next in your videos. Believe it or not, I'd never seen FTD before last year and I loved it. It became an immediate favourite Elvis film of mine. The soundtrack's not the strongest but Elvis was in tremendous voice. I particularly like the way he sings the word "lead" in the title track. Great singing.
Thankyou David..yes his vocal on Ftd is very underrated..I think it’s great.
You pick out the nuances on the words of the vocals just like I do..
A very stylised vocalist was our boy..can’t think of anyone better ..take care sir😊
Follow that dream was the first time I really saw Elvis Presley and that blue shirt on television and even though I was a little girl I was mesmerized and to this day now that I'm ancient... Follow That Dream , will still be one of my all time favorite favorite movies and I really do believe that Elvis had real acting chops! He should have been given serious roles.
I truly truly appreciate how you ronen and pointing out some interesting facts on Follow that dream. My my favorites were King Creole Follow that dream wild in the country Jailhouse Rock and Viva Las Vegas LOL
Another good one, Scotty! Keep up the good work!
Thankyou sir😊
Brilliant as always. I absolutely love this movie. Such a shame Elvis did not get a chance to hone his comedic skills in a movie of the same quality again. I actually read the book Pioneer Go Home over fifty years ago. I spotted the paperback in a second hand shop and Elvis was on the cover so I had to have it. They had of course changed the title to Follow That Dream. I now have the hard back edition in the original title. To this day I do not know another soul that has read. Nice gentle story with comedy and drama combined in a readable way. Take care. TCB ⚡ 👑
Gotta Follow That ........gulp 💢 Dream
Love this movie, he was so funny. Yes he can act. Has a great ending.
Loved Follow that Dream and thought Elvis was so good in it and looked like he was having fun. Every time I see Bloch Arena I think how sad it was that he didn't perform live again for so long.As for pills, They say if you remember the sixties you weren't really there so I don't think they were the only ones. I'm going to have to watch it again now! It's so interesting to get all the background on this - Great Review!
Great video! Follow that Dream is one of my favorites.
Thanks Scotty, loved that episode of Follow that Dream 👌🏼👌🏼
Just joined this site a few weeks ago and what can I say Fantastic.I collect anything to do with Elvis movies and to me these videos are the icing cake.Keep up the good work.x
Thankyou Natalie😊
Scotty, OUTSTANDING as always sir. And may I compliment you on your closing selection. My second favorite song from this particular film is What a Wonderful life.
The film itself, does showcase what a wonderful feel for comedy, Elvis did in fact possess. And is once again lamentable, that he would not be allowed to properly pursue additional roles, that would have solidified this.
Additionally, in regards to Mr. Petty, he further acknowledged that upon seeing Elvis in person, ( his dad was involved with background work on the set ), that he instantly knew he wished to be a Rock Star. A statement echoed by countless artists through the years.
Charismatic, influential, diverse, transcendent and insightful. Sometimes mythlike, at times bigger than life itself. Yet always a man, humble, generous and kind.
Scotty, your words always speak with an appreciative tone. Respectful, considerate and forthright. And I applaud your continued contributions.
Follow That Dream, what an appropriate segment for a man and his brother who continue to acknowledge and realise a portion of their respective dreams. To enlighten, inform and provide a historical retrospective and perspective of a man so close to our collective hearts.
Sincerely, appreciated my friend.
A fan and subscriber
Mike Beal 🙂🙂🙂
I cannot add anything to what you’ve said other than Thankyou very much Mike..
I love to read your comments 😊
Silly song but a voice of gold
Except for the 4 movies Elvis made before the Army. Follow That Dream and Kid Galahad along with GI Blues are favorites of mine. I love Elvis with his natural hair color. I so enjoy your movie and music reviews. I keep learning new things about Elvis, his movies and people involved. I think Annie Helm was a great costar for Elvis. I did read that she fell in love with him but so many women he worked with did. Only Elvis ❤ Thanks for your great insights.
Hi Scotty,
Great video once again. I really like this film and I also like Elvis with his original hair colour.
So glad Elvis stuck up for his mates. I have learnt such a lot of you again Scotty, you really are a little gem 💎 thank you Scotty xxx 💝
