this is the most tragic bittersweet performance I've seen to date. It's painful to see him in this condition but also so amazing to see how much his talent prevails.
He should have stopped performing if not for just a year or would have done wonders for his mind and his health because he had been constantly performing since he was like 18 nonstop because his managers and everyone treated him like he was a machine instead of a person and they had him on medication to put him to sleep at night and get him going in tje morning amd keep him going thrueout the day and I mean he was just used and abused in sooo many ways and it's sad
He should have been hospitalized here in this condition, but when he starts to sing you can still here that he got some strenght left. RIP The King 💪💪💪
He was hospitalized 2 years before this concert various times throughout the years (1974-1975). Many of his entourage tried to get him to stop but he was already too addicted and there was no way for him to stop.
@@laughingbad i think his first serious health problem started right after Aloha Hawaii 1973, he began taking some down stuff that he havent taken before and was rush to the hospital several times. But you right, he was HEAVY addicted to those pills, he began with in 1959. And sometimes when there was a party it was some other stuff too, not only pills
@@laughingbad But what he was suffering from here was cardiomyopathy, addiction aside. Addiction does not adequately explain his symptoms. Cardiomyopathy does, and it was found after he died that he did in fact have genetic hypertrophy of the heart. So so sad.
Agree you can see by the increased weight around face, the way he is out of breath etc; whats crazy and interesting is that hes able to get over this when singing - truly the power of music
In the book, "Revelations of the Memphis Mafia," Elvis' cousin, Billy Smith tells a story where Elvis was near comatose, not speaking but he had a show the next night somewhere, and they have IV's in him and are trying to get him around. The next night he still hasn't said a word, and he's at least moving around somewhat now, and its near showtime, and no one thinks the show will happen, and Elvis looks at Billy and says, " you didn't think I would make it did you? " And Billy said he gave a great show.
When they found Elvis dead he had been reading a book about the shroud of Turin "the Face of Jesus". He was a spiritual man, and he loved God! I cried when he died. I think everyone cried!
About a month and a half before he died. Strung out on drugs, overweight, out of breath, and he still kills it. There’s no auto tune here. Rest In Peace!!
@@NOMADdaf He actually did sing the final note, but this video has been altered. In the real video, the band and backup singers never join in, its just him and the piano. Also, the piano we hear isn't elvis's playing. His vocals were incredible, but his playing was not very good, especially for a place that large. So there were overdubs. th-cam.com/video/tU6p_6sN9fM/w-d-xo.html starting at 1:08:00 is the original.
Elvis Presley is by far the best singer the world have seen. I say this: There's Elvis Presley then there's everybody else, There's Bruce Lee then there's everybody else, There's Michael Jordan then there's everybody else. Elvis Presley stands alone as being the best singer of all times, he had everything, the voice, the looks, the charisma, the personality, and most important of all, he had a heart of gold that he gave and gave to everybody that is in need. There will never be another man like him. When God created him, he made a special one for us to enjoy during his time on Earth. Elvis, you are truely missed.
At 42 you're not supposed to be barely able to speak and breath, 42 is nothing, you don't walk an sound like a sick old man. If this is about age for you I wonder how bad health you must have. Awful no one told him to stop, it was sickening and sad to see him like this.
I remember back in 1956-7, days of Heartbreak Hotel, Hound Dog, etc., reading in the newspaper how Elvis Presley would be forgotten in 6 months. To see him gaining new fans more than 60 years later is beyond incredible. But that wonderful voice and spirit will NOT be forgotten.
I love that smile he gives. You see the joy at that moment. What makes it more impressive is we know in this moment there is a lot of pain behind this song. He was left by his wife, his mom is dead, he doesn’t have his daughter, and his long time manager had used Elvis his career and Elvis knows it. It’s almost a song of sadness then love. I feel the emotions.
Few performers can leave a person at a loss for words. So many artists, entertainers, they come and they go. There will never be another Elvis. We miss you man.
OMG it breaks my heart that this was one of his last performances...and he did not look well, but sounded more amazing than ever. Elvis, I fell in love with you when I was 6 years old, and now I'm 56, and I will always love you.
Lifelong Elvis fan. This really breaks my heart. He should have been at home on bed rest. He never stopped performing. He was overworked. He gave his all to the world, to his fans.
Beautiful, loving and generous man. He came from abject poverty to being the, "king," although he never liked that title. He was raised by good parents with love for all people and love for God. He stood up for his beliefs. He never forgot what it was like to be poor and hungry. I pray Elvis is with his brother that was lost at birth and his parents in paradise. He is still mourned by so many who still love him after all these years. Elvis was a true gift to this world. It was like we lost a beloved family member and we can never get over it.
She was mistaken There is no cure for Ehlers Danlos it's genetic and they did not diagnose him properly to offer relief. And that was only one of the medical problems. Dd
It's heart breaking to see him like this, his manager and doctor did him no service pushing the pills on him. He was such an incredible musician and entertainer, he deserved better.
The most poignant performance he ever did, his voice never let him down and not once did he ever let us fans down. Thank you Elvis for the love you gave us ❤❤❤❤❤
He needed to be in a hospital bless his heart. He had nothing but love for us. He loved his fans with a tremendous love a pure love that can't be matched by any entertainers today. God bless
Every time I see this performance I get tears. I'm a 43 year old grown man too young to have ever seen Elvis live, but I cry when I see this. To see where he started in 1954 with That's Alright Mamma and the youthful energy he had, and his legendary performances through his life, to know this is near the end and yet he performs like this, there are no words.
We are very close in age. I was born 11 months after he died. To me, as a kid, when my parents or abuela would play his stuff, it seemed like the oldies, but of course now I realize how I was not that far removed. It's a little haunting now. We've both lived longer than Elvis now, pal. Woof. It starts hitting different these days, doesn't it?
@@reanimated I'm 25yrs my lita loved him, still does & Elvis singing that song was played at abuelos funeral , they both adored him . My lita & I watched the new flim . I never listened to him before I thought he was white music, but my lita explained everthing to me as I'm.afro latina . Él está en paz y en los brazos de Jesús ahora.
I want to thank you for playing Elvis songs, and the kind way you show respect for him , that means so much to me and I’m sure it does for everyone else who loves him unconditionally, he was one in a million person, we believed in him and he didn’t disappoint us with his music or any other way , we just didn’t get to keep him long enough, but he was tired and needed rest, and I really believe he’s in a better place, RIP Dear Elvis, we all still love you and always will, I’ve been a loyal fan for 63 years, and again thank you 🙏 for what you are doing and the kind words you say, on the phone Unchained melody song you played of him, I liked the way twice you said Come on Elvis. Thanks .
Holy shit! I'd never seen this video. He was so out of breath and shaky before he started and then belts out the song with that otherworldly voice. He was the king, no doubt.
This is one of his best performances because when you see the beginning where he can barely talk, but he still sounds like that, WOW!! When you're the King, your mic stand is a who, not a what.
Thank you for showing him some love in this because he was obviously sick but his fans meant everything to him. He cared more for his fans than any other artist before or since.
This was the first time he performed the song live and nailed it. To just bust out a new song like that. Just wow! Such a powerful performance and presence this man had! Not many people have had a presence like that where generations later people can look back and feel what those felt at the time. Most young people look back at old stars and don’t get what people back then got. But you don’t need to watch much of Elvis to understand how special he was and it translates over to all generations! The charisma, the flamboyant over the top style, the energy, the entertainment, the talent. One of a kind!
Thank you Jamel for showing love and respect for Elvis. Especially when I’m feeling low I listen. Elvis always raises me up! Miss him so much and so happy young people are discovering this amazing talent and kind hearted man. I can tell you have a good heart also. Thanks again…
I was 9 years old when Elvis passed away and remember All the women in my neighborhood crying and consoling each other out in the streets. Was a very sad day , clear as if it were yesterday
Ive been an Elvis fan 20 + yrs. Coolest man that ever lived... Can you imagine. One man had such an influence on the world.. Country, blues, rock, gospel.. He was successful at everything he did, 32 movies. Whatever clothes he wore, hair style he had it became fashion that every guy tried to copy.. He was the MAN. And all these years after he left this world... He's still makings millions..still been in the charts.. People come from all over the world to visit his home. What an amazing man.. There never be another like him again.
In my little girl mind, I knew, he knew he wouldn’t live much longer, during the performance. It use to make me cry. His body was failing him, but his voice never did. Love you E.
Its heartbreaking for me to watch this video. I just turned 43, and he was a year younger than I am right now when he crossed over. Makes no sense. That man died of a broken heart, and betrayal.
Yes and drug use. No one stepped in to help him get clean for as much as his fans loved him his manager and friends and family didn't do anything to intervene. Sad he will always be missed.at least his music will live on.
His performance of this always makes me cry! Along with his other health problems, Elvis had Glaucoma, which is an extremely painful eye condition, and explains why you saw him wearing shaded glasses even in studio sessions. In the full video he asks Charlie Hodge to show him the keys before he began playing!
To be fair...there WAS Blind Willie Johnson. There WAS Sister Rosetta Tharpe. I love the quote and I liked your comment, but...game gotta recognize game.
I'm in tears. Elvis always gave us his all, even in this performance, when he was in such bad health. He was struggling to breathe and we lost him a few weeks later. 🕊 His God-given talent never left him. RIP Elvis. We'll love you forever. 💔
This was actually about 2 months before his death. However, technically, you are correct - just hours (hundreds) before his death. Not THE last song, though.
Hurt was his last one, you can hear his hurt literally even more in that one. Bitter sweet, this song, so sad to hear that heavy breathing, sweet as hell to see how powerful he felt it and how folks today are experiencing it in a whole new way.
It is MY BELIEF THAT, this performance was SPECIFICALLY to, and for his one love, Priscilla. The fact that I now read yr message, I AM ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED OF IT. When he said, almost pleading ""God, I need your love.....""
So hard to watch this show, it still hurts knowing just 6 weeks later he’d be gone and the world would stop just for a moment and lose a bit of magic. What a legend, what a legacy he left behind with a career that only lasted a short 23 years yet reached the mountain top and touched and broke hearts all over the world. 43 years later, we still love and miss him like he passed yesterday. God, watching this is bittersweet and painful. #RIPElvisPresley 🙏🏼
I get so choked up watching him and then remembering the announcements that he had passed shortly after. God bless & Rip Elvis. Look down and see all your new fans of a new generation. 🥺😢
Thanks So Much Jamal! He’s Incredible!!! We ain’t Worthy!!! Right? Unbelievable! Elvis was a great pianist! Extremely Talented, Gifted, Man! 👏. Thanks for bringing all these Great Memories back to me! 😊👍👏.
Big Elvis fan here love the man. I always find it hard to watch the last concert he ever performed. But I watched it to see your reaction. With all your elvis videos. Thanks for posting long live the king 👑
Elvis is the only singer I know of who was able to cross over to every musical genre .. back in the 60-70’s Everyone loves him.. he was a national treasure.. like no one else has ever been
As sick as he clearly is here, it's amazing his voice never faltered. He had it till the end. Just a shame no one could intervene and save the man from himself.
He was the King of rock! He was an original artist there was no one like him before and never will be anyone to compare to him ever again. Rip Elvis Presley.
Even w age a the emotional things he was going through ,,,,his voice just kept getting better. I believe it was God that gave him strength his love a faith never wavered in God. I believe his soul now rests w God. Elvis wanted to be reunited w his master a his mother.
You once said you prefer live performances, I don't, I like to hear the best way it's supposed to sound... Except for Elvis, his best is done live. He's truly amazing. I wish they put him in rehab. He had so much more to give. Miss you Elvis, rest in peace, you deserve that. And keep smiling down on Lisa Marie, she loves you so much.
The way he looks at fans and smiles . That part always gets me. Even all drugged up Elvis still had it . He lived for his fans they loved him . Still to this very day they still love ❤️ him .
When they said on the Radio, "The King is dead''. I was in the south at a campground with hundreds of people. Suddenly everything went silent. In the womens' bathrooms everybody was weeping. This made me cry too. I was 7 and I still remember.
My heart cries so very hard seeing Elvis giving it his all, I miss Elvis, in less than 9 yrs from ur 68 TV special in ur black leather until this song, U never gave less than 100 %! Thank you Elvis You will always be the very best of all times!! Thanks!!!
Thank you for showing respect to the greatest singer EVER. We were so lucky to have him for the time we did. Thinking of him today, the 44th anniversary of his death. 💔
That amazing voice and beautiful smile gets me every time! Oh how I love this man! This was my Dad and StepMom’s song. They are both in heaven now and I’m sure he is singing this for them.
Sick. Tired. Disillusioned. Feeling betrayed. Broken hearted. And yet...somehow, from somewhere he summons every ounce of whatever he has left and leaves it out there on the stage for all to see. Gut wrenching, and awe inspiring, at the same time. Elvis, like all of us, was flawed. Just another example of a too much, too soon life where the excess eventually drained the battery. But it takes a lot of courage, and love for your fans, to go out there on a stage and perform when you know you don't look and feel well. In the end, the fans loved him back even more, and forgave him when he had off nights (and he had many in the last couple of years). But even during this difficult period, when he was "on", his performance could move your soul. Not many like him before, now or ever.
When God created my friend Elvis he was just showing off. I can't tell you how much i love and miss him, there is not a day that goes by that i don't think of him and all the memories we made in 10 short years, his death knocked the wind out of me i have never been the same since, Elvis was the big brother i never had. He is also my guardian angel. Graceland is my go to place when it get's to hard to live w/o my friend i go there and walk around and remember Elvis and all the beautiful times we had together. He was the only person in my life that understood me and cared about my feelings and opinions. What it comes down to is we both needed a true friend and we were that for each other. Awesome reaction. His body failed him but his voice never ever did God bless you and your family from the one and only Memphis Tn
I've been an Elvis fan all my life I'm 58 and always shed tears when I watch or listen to this his voice never failed The sound of your cry is another great vocal performance from the King

He should have stopped performing if not for just a year or would have done wonders for his mind and his health because he had been constantly performing since he was like 18 nonstop because his managers and everyone treated him like he was a machine instead of a person and they had him on medication to put him to sleep at night and get him going in tje morning amd keep him going thrueout the day and I mean he was just used and abused in sooo many ways and it's sad

He was hospitalized 2 years before this concert various times throughout the years (1974-1975). Many of his entourage tried to get him to stop but he was already too addicted and there was no way for him to stop.
@@laughingbad i think his first serious health problem started right after Aloha Hawaii 1973, he began taking some down stuff that he havent taken before and was rush to the hospital several times.
But you right, he was HEAVY addicted to those pills, he began with in 1959. And sometimes when there was a party it was some other stuff too, not only pills

He was basically murdered by Tom Parker, his father and his doctor.
Disgusting that all they cared about was his money
Makes me cry he is trying so hard and giving everything he has and his voice does not fail him
I felt like he was asking for love from his fans. I like the way he looked over and smiled like I STILL GOT IT!!
He was checking out a Honey 😉
Dana Ferrell I couldn’t agree with you more!
His smile never failed him ❤️❤️
He loved his fans!
He was smiling as his father who was sitting at the side of the stage.
Six weeks later he left this world. This was one of the last 2 songs he sang in his life at a piano on his property the day he died.
AmishElvis1 blue eyes crying in the rain ❤️
I was too young to understand how great he was and what a talent we lost when he died. I've grown to truly love him as I've grown older.
Awesome beyond words. No one better in my opinion.
@@valeriemcburney4646 same with me. I was 10
On medication no(I Love Him too) but he was a upper and downer junkie✌️
I saw him in Memphis in 1975 and the entire building shook with his voice. There will never be another Elvis. 😥
I’m so jealous must have been amazing
Wow. What a gift. This final performance is haunting and beautiful at the same time
The end of the movie is very powerful as it ends with this moment
How he turns around an smiles....timeless...RIP Elvis..
Heartbreaking. God love him.
Heartbreaking.
The man poured his heart out to the end,so sad he passed just 6 weeks later.
Mike Ast yes Mike. And I was to see him again August 20, 1977
King that we all have to say
Mike Ast Amen! Greatest of all time!
Delladawn that’s Amazing. I would do anything to go and see the King perform live.
Love how he looks at Charlie Hodge as if to say, "I'm nailing this". 😃
It's so strange. You can barely make out what he's saying when he speaks, yet he can belt out powerhouse lyrics and play the piano flawlessly
Clark Bucher he became a different person when he was singing. A gift from God
His voice and talent was there with him until the end.
Clark Bucher I agree. His amazing voice never left him. Elvis fan or not you have to love his dedication and that beautiful voice.

Kind of like Ozzy
When they found Elvis dead he had been reading a book about the shroud of Turin "the Face of Jesus". He was a spiritual man, and he loved God! I cried when he died. I think everyone cried!
ABSOLUTELY!! FACT!!! He was Saved, holy ghost annointed, grew up in church, and the ONLY GOLD RECORD HE RECEIVED WAS FOR HIS GOSPEL ALBUM!!! FACT
I was only 15, and a complete mess. I began watching and loving him at 2yrs old. RIP KING
OMG yes..I still cry missing this beautiful man...
I still miss him too! That rock-and-roll life style is not good for anyone. It was sad because he died too young.
Elvis was found dead by Persilla reading a book in the bathroom. I suppose that one.
About a month and a half before he died. Strung out on drugs, overweight, out of breath, and he still kills it. There’s no auto tune here. Rest In Peace!!
He was on PRESCRIBED MEDICATION!!! STOP with false information
@@dtm6358 it's still a form of drug and can be abused but allot of the blame goes 2 Parker, Vernon Presley & the Memphis Mafia.
@@dtm6358 prescription or not, he abused them, and his doctor wrongly prescribed them. He was addicted to prescription sleeping pills and painkillers.

@@dtm6358 he was let down by his doctor

Holy shit! I'd never seen this video. He was so out of breath and shaky before he started and then belts out the song with that otherworldly voice. He was the king, no doubt.
It makes me cry every time I watch this !
This is one of his best performances because when you see the beginning where he can barely talk, but he still sounds like that, WOW!!
When you're the King, your mic stand is a who, not a what.
Thank you for showing him some love in this because he was obviously sick but his fans meant everything to him. He cared more for his fans than any other artist before or since.
If you dont feel that, something is wrong with you
kswhodat Amen!
Elvis is the only man that makes me cry. I'm 64. I play guitar and it all started with Elvis when I was 5.
the greatest of all time, Elvis the king
They say in the end the one thing that didn’t fail Elvis was his “voice.”
This was the first time he performed the song live and nailed it. To just bust out a new song like that. Just wow! Such a powerful performance and presence this man had! Not many people have had a presence like that where generations later people can look back and feel what those felt at the time. Most young people look back at old stars and don’t get what people back then got. But you don’t need to watch much of Elvis to understand how special he was and it translates over to all generations! The charisma, the flamboyant over the top style, the energy, the entertainment, the talent. One of a kind!
The audience was Elvis’ first, last, and only love.
Thank you Jamel for showing love and respect for Elvis. Especially when I’m feeling low I listen. Elvis always raises me up! Miss him so much and so happy young people are discovering this amazing talent and kind hearted man. I can tell you have a good heart also. Thanks again…
He truly was the GOAT! Long live the King!
Even at his worst, he was the best 💚
@Kam Mike well, I'm sorry I have a different opinion than you do?!
He is still the best....!!!!
Yep! Greatest Of All Time! GOAT!!
There is only one King of Rock and his name is Elvis, even at his lowest, no one can come close to his voice and dedication to his music and fans ♥️
I was 9 years old when Elvis passed away and remember All the women in my neighborhood crying and consoling each other out in the streets. Was a very sad day , clear as if it were yesterday
So effortless, his voice was the best instrument in the band. You could see how happy he was just singing on stage.
This clip always brings a tear to the eye. He was so close to death and you could see it. But he still had a voice and that charisma.
I think he knew he was going home to be with the Lord and his mother.
🙏
Ive been an Elvis fan 20 + yrs. Coolest man that ever lived... Can you imagine. One man had such an influence on the world.. Country, blues, rock, gospel.. He was successful at everything he did, 32 movies. Whatever clothes he wore, hair style he had it became fashion that every guy tried to copy.. He was the MAN. And all these years after he left this world... He's still makings millions..still been in the charts.. People come from all over the world to visit his home. What an amazing man.. There never be another like him again.
Very true this man was/is a gift from god I just wished I was alive to see him but 6 years to late 8/30/83
Micheal Jackson was the closest we ever had to Elvis. Two incredible artists, left too soon.
I love Jamal. He makes my favorite performances fun to watch again. This Elvis clip always gave me goosebumps. He nailed it!
In my little girl mind, I knew, he knew he wouldn’t live much longer, during the performance. It use to make me cry. His body was failing him, but his voice never did. Love you E.
So much God given talent just pouring out even in his final time on this Earth....
Its heartbreaking for me to watch this video. I just turned 43, and he was a year younger than I am right now when he crossed over. Makes no sense. That man died of a broken heart, and betrayal.
He died.of congestive heart failure.from too many uppers ajd downers. God rest his amazing soul.
Yes and drug use. No one stepped in to help him get clean for as much as his fans loved him his manager and friends and family didn't do anything to intervene. Sad he will always be missed.at least his music will live on.
Yes, it's very sad how his immense talent was exploited.
@@carolynmcqueen8855 he died from severe constipation. (Opioid constipation) he did not die from an overdose.
His performance of this always makes me cry! Along with his other health problems, Elvis had Glaucoma, which is an extremely painful eye condition, and explains why you saw him wearing shaded glasses even in studio sessions. In the full video he asks Charlie Hodge to show him the keys before he began playing!
"Before Elvis there was nothing..." - John Lennon
To be fair...there WAS Blind Willie Johnson. There WAS Sister Rosetta Tharpe. I love the quote and I liked your comment, but...game gotta recognize game.
@@dominiquedoeslife I think what John meant was that no one change the landscape of music like Elvis.
@@da324 That's possible
"Elvis died in the army" - John Lennon
And THAT...is why they call him the king. Forever grateful for all those rough days your music got me through. May you Rest in Peace.
He's been gone longer than he was with us, and this performance still gives me goosebumps.
Okay THAT revelation upset me...and he died not long before I was even born!
I'm in tears. Elvis always gave us his all, even in this performance, when he was in such bad health. He was struggling to breathe and we lost him a few weeks later. 🕊
His God-given talent never left him. RIP Elvis. We'll love you forever. 💔
This was literally the last song he sang in his home just hours before his death.
This was actually about 2 months before his death. However, technically, you are correct - just hours (hundreds) before his death. Not THE last song, though.
Hurt was his last one, you can hear his hurt literally even more in that one. Bitter sweet, this song, so sad to hear that heavy breathing, sweet as hell to see how powerful he felt it and how folks today are experiencing it in a whole new way.
It is
MY BELIEF THAT, this performance was SPECIFICALLY to, and for his one love, Priscilla. The fact that I now read yr message, I AM ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED OF IT. When he said, almost pleading ""God, I need your love.....""
Thanks for the respect, Jamel. This performance was very bittersweet.
bittersweet
He was so sick here... but that voice still came through! That beautiful voice...
I am a diehard Elvis fan so I refuse to watch anything with him 76-77 because it would be painful but this here! 🙌
Look up the original performance. It was just Elvis and his piano. No backup singers or drums. Very raw, very real.
You can always see and hear the emotion on his face and in his voice.
He was overloaded with Emotions he was completely down. And still gave everything for his fans. Elvis I Love You
So hard to watch this show, it still hurts knowing just 6 weeks later he’d be gone and the world would stop just for a moment and lose a bit of magic. What a legend, what a legacy he left behind with a career that only lasted a short 23 years yet reached the mountain top and touched and broke hearts all over the world. 43 years later, we still love and miss him like he passed yesterday. God, watching this is bittersweet and painful.
#RIPElvisPresley 🙏🏼
I get so choked up watching him and then remembering the announcements that he had passed shortly after. God bless & Rip Elvis. Look down and see all your new fans of a new generation. 🥺😢
Thanks So Much Jamal! He’s Incredible!!! We ain’t Worthy!!! Right? Unbelievable! Elvis was a great pianist! Extremely Talented, Gifted, Man! 👏. Thanks for bringing all these Great Memories back to me! 😊👍👏.
Big Elvis fan here love the man. I always find it hard to watch the last concert he ever performed. But I watched it to see your reaction. With all your elvis videos. Thanks for posting long live the king 👑
Elvis is the only singer I know of who was able to cross over to every musical genre .. back in the 60-70’s Everyone loves him.. he was a national treasure.. like no one else has ever been
This brought tears to me. I will always remember the day he passed away - too soon. Never be another like him!
The King .. forever ... RIP Elvis .. Great voice ..
As sick as he clearly is here, it's amazing his voice never faltered. He had it till the end. Just a shame no one could intervene and save the man from himself.
Proof that he was and still is the best performer singer that ever lived he is the king of music !
Love you Elvis, with all my heart, heart ♥
He was the King of rock! He was an original artist there was no one like him before and never will be anyone to compare to him ever again. Rip Elvis Presley.
Even w age a the emotional things he was going through ,,,,his voice just kept getting better. I believe it was God that gave him strength his love a faith never wavered in God. I believe his soul now rests w God. Elvis wanted to be reunited w his master a his mother.
I've seen it a hundred times, and it still brings tears to my eyes.
And it ever will !!! 💞🎶
Thanks for your appropriate reaction !🙏
I’m with you, so powerful and heartfelt.
You once said you prefer live performances, I don't, I like to hear the best way it's supposed to sound... Except for Elvis, his best is done live. He's truly amazing. I wish they put him in rehab. He had so much more to give.
Miss you Elvis, rest in peace, you deserve that. And keep smiling down on Lisa Marie, she loves you so much.
The way he looks at fans and smiles . That part always gets me. Even all drugged up Elvis still had it . He lived for his fans they loved him . Still to this very day they still love ❤️ him .
Amazing😢😥😰😢😥😰😢😥😰
THE gold voice beutiful voice beutiful heart 💚 beutiful soul.
Beutiful reaction 🙏🙏🙏🕺
I can't watch this without the tears falling, I just...I can't. Damn it.
What an absolutely unbelievable talent! There will never be another Elvis. An awesome performance!
It makes me cry everytime I hear this song. Fly high with the Angels Elvis Presley.
He was still great at his worst! I will never forget the day he died! "Long black limousine" nuff said!
When they said on the Radio, "The King is dead''. I was in the south at a campground with hundreds of people. Suddenly everything went silent. In the womens' bathrooms everybody was weeping. This made me cry too. I was 7 and I still remember.
My heart cries so very hard seeing Elvis giving it his all, I miss Elvis, in less than 9 yrs from ur 68 TV special in ur black leather until this song, U never gave less than 100 %! Thank you Elvis You will always be the very best of all times!! Thanks!!!
If his manager had cared about his well being he would probably still be here with us.
Parker only cared about him in that he could keep him on stage. Parker was pure sleaze
Thank you for showing respect to the greatest singer EVER. We were so lucky to have him for the time we did. Thinking of him today, the 44th anniversary of his death. 💔
That amazing voice and beautiful smile gets me every time! Oh how I love this man! This was my Dad and StepMom’s song. They are both in heaven now and I’m sure he is singing this for them.
I can see you rooting for this man… Just like the rest of us.
The emotion you feel when he sings this song brings me to tears. He was so amazing, and gone way to soon. 😢
Sick. Tired. Disillusioned. Feeling betrayed. Broken hearted. And yet...somehow, from somewhere he summons every ounce of whatever he has left and leaves it out there on the stage for all to see. Gut wrenching, and awe inspiring, at the same time.
Elvis, like all of us, was flawed. Just another example of a too much, too soon life where the excess eventually drained the battery. But it takes a lot of courage, and love for your fans, to go out there on a stage and perform when you know you don't look and feel well. In the end, the fans loved him back even more, and forgave him when he had off nights (and he had many in the last couple of years). But even during this difficult period, when he was "on", his performance could move your soul. Not many like him before, now or ever.
Pure power, GREATEST voice ever on the planet
Jamel you're a kind soul man. God bless you
When God created my friend Elvis he was just showing off. I can't tell you how much i love and miss him, there is not a day that goes by that i don't think of him and all the memories we made in 10 short years, his death knocked the wind out of me i have never been the same since, Elvis was the big brother i never had. He is also my guardian angel. Graceland is my go to place when it get's to hard to live w/o my friend i go there and walk around and remember Elvis and all the beautiful times we had together. He was the only person in my life that understood me and cared about my feelings and opinions. What it comes down to is we both needed a true friend and we were that for each other. Awesome reaction. His body failed him but his voice never ever did God bless you and your family from the one and only Memphis Tn
I've been an Elvis fan all my life I'm 58 and always shed tears when I watch or listen to this his voice never failed
The sound of your cry is another great vocal performance from the King
