Oh my god this is when Elvis was in his jungle room recording this song in 76 his voice was even stronger and more powerful one of my favorite songs by Elvis
This is the first time hearing the King singing the Tom Jones’ song. And Tom Jones did a great job with his voice but so did the King!! Wow that’s why he’s still THE LEGEND!!
Too bad Elvis isn't still around today I remember when he died in 1977 it was a much nicer world back then nice to see you enjoying it too bad you couldn't get to see him and hear him in person
Hard to believe this was a year before his death. His voice never failed thank God because that would have been devastating to him. May he RIP. He’ll never be forgotten. The movie, I hope does show his humanity.
Take a listen to Elvis’s first love of music Gospel. He as always sings from his soul but you get this man on gospel you will be in tears . He is in not only the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but Gospel, Country halls of fame in America but also all around the world. To this day he has sold more music without the aid of the internet like performers now. He never got to tour outside America. The only time he was abroad was when he was in the Army. 🙏❤️
Jane H commenting ….. Cindy, your Reactions to Elvis are always so delightful to see. Elvis could take any song & make it even better, he just had such an incredible vocal range, & put such passion & emotion into the songs he sang, & he was such a humble human being. An amazing performance by Elvis.
1935 on January 8 a huge star was born, but sadly in 1977 on august 16 we lost a great musician, a amazing singer, but we also lost a amazing humanitarian that helped so many people that he did not even know. Today over 46 years after his death, people are still calling Elvis the King of Rock'n'Roll (he said that Chubby Checker was the one that should be called King of Rock'n roll, if any human should), Elvis didn't like that title and he believed that the only King was God and he actually told this to his fans several times, he said: I believe that God is the only true king, sometimes he added Jesus Christ. I think that Elvis is a MASTER not only of king of Rock'n roll, he is A MASTER of many genres of music because he can sing very well in any genre, but what do you think, is he good enough to be called a music king? Elvis was really in my mind, a MASTER of GOSPEL and other music, no one does it better then him, he is best known for making Rock'n roll famous, so he was called The King of Rock'n roll, but he never liked that people called him that, he repeatedly stopped fans who said that he was the king of rock'n roll, telling them: I'm just an entertainer and singer, God is the only true King (sometimes he also said Jesus Christ is the only King)... He also never liked the "so called joke" Elvis the Pelvis, he loved Jokes, but that was for him very hurtful to hear people say, or write that. Did you know that Elvis was a Sandy Blonde with Blue Eyes... Elvis was born in the poor part of Tupelo Mississippi (in a shotgun house) and it was mainly Afro Americans living there, at the place where Elvis family lived there only lived 3 more white families, the rest was colored people, his family was dirt poor until he became an artist after singing in a mainly colored peoples church during his childhood. Did you know that he had several friends that where Afro Americans, one of his friends where James Brown, yes THAT James Brown (The King of Soul), another artist was B.B King, yes that B.B King... He also was a good friend with Mohamed Ali, yes the GREATEST boxer of all time, he even had a Robe made for him, but it was to much bling on it so Ali wouldn't where it more then one time to a fight. Elvis really admired Martin Luther King very much, Elvis felt that all people are equal, unfortunately he never got to meet him, that would have created to much problems for both of them at that time. He had several medical problems, Glaucoma, (Insomnia) sleeping problems, irritable bowel syndrome, things that affected his real life and made him need medication to function. Yes, he took medicines that today are considered to be called drugs, but at that time doctors prescribed it to him and to ordinary people, they did not know of the problems it could give people (side effects). He never took any so-called street drugs, but unfortunately he did not realize that those medications would be a problem for him, he thought that they where ordinary medicine because his doctor prescribed them to him and to everyone else that needed it. Many out of his relatives died at a relatively young age, so even if he wouldn't have the medication, he might have died at about the same age. He could never be alone and thus himself, at that time the word superstar did not exist, so nothing could prepare him for that kind of life. Did you know that a big group of white people actually smashed his records and wanted to ban his music, just because they called the music he did so called N... music, that is so painful to think that some people actually can think like that, skin color is just color and nothing more, when will people start to realize that? There are some videos of when Elvis joking and messing up, he loved to joke around and pretend that he did not have control, but he had total control, he actually conducted his musicians and back up choirs all the time ! He is the only person to have 60 records gone to sell Gold since he died. Elvis is also in almost every genre of Music Hall of Fame (5 that I'm sure of Rock 'n' Roll, Country, Gospel, Rockabilly and Rhythm and Blues), if Gospel is a genre in Music Hall of fame, then he should be in there to, but no one else is in more then perhaps 2 genres. Not bad for someone who failed in his music class (in school, he got a F), he also never took a single singing lesson, yes he sang in church so perhaps he learned a little there, right? Something else that people tend to overlook: He always conducts his musicians and backup singers, he never gets credit for being able to doing that. Imagen you are a singer, you have great Musicians, you have great backup singers, no Guest Artists, no Auto tune, no Lip singing and no Fireworks, now all is about your skill, could you handle that pressure? At the time when Elvis started to perform, Auto tune did not exist yet and when it became available, then he still did not use it, he did not need to, he always sang so that you could hear every word that he sang, the Fans always felt that he sang to just you ! That is what Elvis did in over 1600 concerts (during his 20 years as an artist), despite having problems with his health, like his Glaucoma, the headlights must have hurt his eyes like crazy. He sang over 800 songs, I wonder how he could remember them all, he never wrote a song himself, so he had to remember other peoples lyrics, well that is amazing in it self. The fact that he had Glaucoma must have been difficult being in the headlights all the time, that could be why he sometimes closes his eyes, but also sometimes squinting! This unfortunately made him temporary blind after the shows, that is why they led him of the stage and into his car, that is something that not many people knew about Elvis. Elvis suits was made of 100% Polyester, or 100 cotton (I'm not sure witch one), it was originally a karate suit (GI), it was very light, but it was hot, so it made him sweat a lot, he got some bad press about that, but if you give it all then you will sweat, it should be positive, right? A important fact about Elvis success is his guitarist James Burton's sound, it was a big fact that made him sound different, naturally his voice is the main factor for his success to, I think both things played a crucial role in his success... About the deep base voiced JD Sumner (a member of The Stamps Quartet) he is a Basso Profundo, I think it's called that, it is the deepest base singer there is. A video about him helping others, look at this: th-cam.com/video/CrJ1c9tm-C0/w-d-xo.html Elvis made a show where all the money went to build the Memorial after Pearl Harbor, he talked to the nations about taking the Polio vaccine, Elvis took the first injection himself, he helped by donating a big amount of money to St Jude hospital, they fight against cancer (especially children with), he gave away loads of jewelry, gave away cars, he even gave away some houses to total strangers. Elvis started an organization that helps people to get out of Homelessness (Presley Charitable Foundation), this organization helps people even now close to 50 years after he passed away. A thing that you perhaps did not know: Elvis ALMOST NEVER did a show OUTSIDE OF USA, yes he did sing a few times in Canada: 4 concerts, 2 times in Toronto, 1 time in Ottawa and 1 time in Vancouver (during the 50:s?). When the Aloha From Hawaii (Live in Honolulu 1973) was showed it had close to 1.5 Billion viewers from around the whole world and 3.7 billion people lived on earth at this time, so it was close to 1/3 of all of the population on the earth that viewed the show, it was the first time a single artist was shown LIVE around the globe. Video of Mohammad Ali speech after Elvis died: th-cam.com/video/PO8Kq_3KTyI/w-d-xo.html I have to say that I loved being at Graceland and seeing his home, first we were at the shotgun house in Tupelo Mississippi where he lived in his early years, he was born there ! You don't have a guide taking you on a tour, you can go all over yourself, but stay outside of the ropes and do not attempt to go upstairs, the outside is huge, so is the house, but you don't realize that from the front of the house. I don't regret for a second that I was there, or that I stood at his grave site and said out loud that this is for the humanitarian Elvis/the person/the man and then I gave him a military salute, the others there just looked at me and asked if I didn't like his music. So I told them that he was clearly one of the best singers and artists ever, but I loved his big heart more, he helped so many people without getting credit for it, he didn't want the credit of helping others, he did it out of love and respect and to me that is what true charity is all about. This PLACE (GRACELAND) should be a protected part of music history and also American history forever, I think that people will keep coming for years and years and years to come ! Elvis did lots of things for America to, he helped in a big way to avoid getting Polio (he took the vaccine in a TV show and that made the interest for taking the vaccine to go up from 0,6 % all the way up to 80 % in 6 months), so in 6 months he got 79.4 % more of the American people take the Polio vaccine and shortly after it was eradicated from USA, he also helped in the fight to defeat Cancer by helping to build up St Jude's children cancer treatment clinic by donating a huge amount of money to them, he also helped to build the Memorial over Pearl Harbor and many other things!
This song was written by Lonnie Donegan known as 'The King Of Skiffle' and a massive influence on groups like The Shadows and The Beatles. I met Lonnie 12 days before he died and showed him the Elvis 'Jungle Room Sessions' cd with this song on it. I pointed out that Elvis had sung his song to Lonnie and Lonnie had had No idea that Elvis had sung it! He was so Thrilled to see his name in brackets written after 'I'll Never Fall In Love Again' on the cd, that he signed the front of the cd for me: To Paul, Hi! Lonnie Donegan.😀♥♥xx
This song was sang by Elvis friend Tom Jones first, then Elvis wanted to honor his friend by singing it, he also sang another song that Tom Jones sang first, it was called Green Green grass of home...
It's a joy watching you react to Elvis. He sang a lot of covers and always put the unique Elvis spin on them. Thank you for sharing his music and for helping to keep his legacy alive. Could you react to: Elvis Presley - Tiger Man ('68 Comeback Special) (2:40).
No, Tom never beats Elvis who has more soul and passion and the looks to go with it making the song believable but Tom is great. No Elvis.Elvis has a deeper, smoother, sweeter voice..more powerful and wider rage from bass, tenor, baritone.
Who's giving her the wrong songs, folks this is not the original, the original is the album From Elvis Presley boulevard Memphis Tennessee.... Don't ruin Elvis's songs, he didn't like that.... let me get the right one BRB
It seems like he is talking about his ex? His health did not fail until her leaving him. She left...sad. He beg her bk. She could not return. He was popping pills 💊 He had insomnia bad 👎 Woe
THAT VOICE!!!!!! Crazy raw talent. Greatest there ever was. Medicine to the SOUL.
Oh my god this is when Elvis was in his jungle room recording this song in 76 his voice was even stronger and more powerful one of my favorite songs by Elvis
Elvis forever number one in the world
Omg the charisma,etc….he gives me chills everytime
Amazing!
The king! No one does it better!👑
This is the first time hearing the King singing the Tom Jones’ song. And Tom Jones did a great job with his voice but so did the King!! Wow that’s why he’s still THE LEGEND!!
Too bad Elvis isn't still around today I remember when he died in 1977 it was a much nicer world back then nice to see you enjoying it too bad you couldn't get to see him and hear him in person

Yes! Thank you Sis🌹
It sounds like Tom Jones
Sensacional
Cindy, this is a great little piece of a rehearsal if you want to hear the versatility in Elvi's' voice too.
******THE KING******
@Annie leouzon: for all time 😉
Hard to believe this was a year before his death. His voice never failed thank God because that would have been devastating to him. May he RIP. He’ll never be forgotten. The movie, I hope does show his humanity.
Elvis had a rare grift to not just sing and perform a song but he conveyed the FEELING to beautifully and personal
What a beautiful song, and what a wonderful voice! ! ELVIS always and forever the greatest! Thank you Cindy!
belle chanson ..PLUS JAMAIS je tomberais amoureux set mon ka 💥💥👋👋👋👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Great song

AND IN HAWAII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tom Jones owns this song but Elvis, delivers it in a way only he can do!
Incorrect
100% Correct!
(It's an OPINION, right? And should be respected.)
Have a great day.
I’m a much bigger Elvis fan than a Tom Jones fan , Elvis does this sing really really well but for me Tom’s is the best version .
Perfectly said Philippe !
Still the man in 2022

Thought the song was composed by Burt Bacharach and the lyrics by Hal David (Raindrops keep falling on my head, walk on bye amongst others)
Love Elvis Presley wauuuu thank you 👍
Elvis all the way.😊

Yes Cindy that's perfect his voice is medicine for the song how well put was that spot on my lady
Did you know Elvis did a song called Cindy, Cindy? You should react to that
That last high note. Yikes!
No, Tom never beats Elvis who has more soul and passion and the looks to go with it making the song believable but Tom is great. No Elvis.Elvis has a deeper, smoother, sweeter voice..more powerful and wider rage from bass, tenor, baritone.
Tim had a good set of pipes too but Elvis makes every song his own.
This was actually a re-recorded version the one from the album Memphis Blvd is actually better
That was around 1976
Elvis awesome song much better than TJ
Who's giving her the wrong songs, folks this is not the original, the original is the album From Elvis Presley boulevard Memphis Tennessee.... Don't ruin Elvis's songs, he didn't like that.... let me get the right one BRB
It seems like he is talking about his ex? His health did not fail until her leaving him.
She left...sad.
He beg her bk. She could not return.
He was popping pills 💊
He had insomnia bad 👎
Woe
This is not Elvis.
