Love watching your moving with music and appreciating everything about Elvis’s performance. Elvis orchestrated every beat and sound on that stage. He produced all his songs, from the tempo to the use of his backing singers. His musicians and the singers always had to watch him like hawks so as not to miss a beat or a change that he might throw in to change up the song. More Elvis please. We Elvis fans love watching him being found by new people who may not ever have known how good Elvis was and what a great humanitarian he was in his short life. 👌💕🕺
He just had IT.. He could sing, he could move and he just had the look.. .. from what I understand.. Polk Salad is kinda like Kale.. not sure but that's what I get from it
Elvis was born on January 8, 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi, in a 2 room shack of a house his dad built with money he borrowed from his boss. That's how dirt poor they were. He was one half of identical twins; the other boy - Jesse Garon - was stillborn. They were so poor, that Jesse Garon was buried in a shoebox in an unmarked grave. At Graceland they have a plaque with his name on it in his memory. Elvis always got along with the black community and learned a lot about music from his friends of color. Also, according to the one drop rule, Elvis would not be considered white, since he has Cherokee ancestors on both the Smith (his mother) and the Presley (his father) sides of the family. His paternal grandfather, Jesse Dunning Presley, was not happy that his two sons, Elvis' father Vernon and his brother Vester, married two sisters, Gladys and Clettes who were known to have Cherokee blood in their family tree. J.D. Presley was quite the racist a-hole, often drunk and a philandering husband to Minnie Mae (they were actually separated long before they finally divorced in 1954) who was always competing with his sons Vester and Vernon and who was known to abuse his kids when drunk. J.D. was was publicly against race mixing and was in denial about the Cherokee blood in his own family tree. It was more publicly known that the Smith family had Native blood in their family tree, so when both his sons fell for 2 Smith sisters and Vernon, on top of that, was still a minor at 17 when he eloped with Gladys who was 4 years older than him, Jesse was totally pissed off. As a child, Elvis already had many friends in the black community at the time his family was one of 4 "white" families that lived in the predominantly black neighborhood The Hill, just across from Shake Rag. His childhood friend Sam Bell said that some of the (black) kids in that neighborhood had lighter skin than Elvis (th-cam.com/video/LrFCyNMvZWk/w-d-xo.html). One of Elvis' bodyguards once said that he thought it was a miracle Elvis got into Humes High School in Memphis, because it was "lily white". Elvis wanted to be more open about his Native ancestry, but his manager "colonel" Tom Parker (real name Andreas van Kuijk) was against it because he was afraid it might cost Elvis fans (and himself money). They did have Elvis play characters in his movies though where he had Native American blood (Flaming Star, G.I. Blues, Stay Away Joe). Once Elvis had his own (apprentice) job learning to be an electrician, he saved up his money and bought his clothes in the same style that many of his friends of color wore. He was called a (forgive me, just stating facts here) "n-lover" and got beaten up several times too. Later, when he was an established star, he would not perform at places where the members of color of his back-up band/orchestra weren't allowed.
One thing I really like about this reaction is you're noticing so much stuff. That whole TCB band is so tight including his two sets of backing vocalists and they all worked hard but had such a good time together and lots of chemistry. He was good friends with his drummer Ronnie Tutt and they played off of each other a lot. You can really see this in his 1970 Vegas live performance of suspicious minds, from this same show. And you're absolutely right about him giving cues to the band with his movements but still making it just dancing basically.
Polk Salad is a weed which is green and does have berries (which you do not eat because they are poisonous). You pick the green leaves and boil them like turnip greens or collard greens, drain them and most people then put them in a skillet with a little bit of oil or shortening, etc. and cook it. It tastes similar to spinach.
Loved this reaction and happy to see you looking up the back story on the song. Could tell you are really into the music and performance.Elvis was a natural up there on the stage. Fantastic!!!❤❤❤
- - - actually not 'dancing' unlike Mjackson who rehearsed his moves, Elvis was spontaneous how he felt at the moment. He could very well just bust a karate move on ya.
Nobody could match Elvis. Nobody. Canada

I love this talented artist!
This appearance is fire!
Thank you for the background information and playing Elvis!
Polk Salad in this song, Elvis really means getting some. You know what I mean

Polk salad is almost a weed. It’s a plant that grows wild in the south. Very poor people could find it and could cook it like turnip greens.
React to Elvis GOSPEL = He recorded TONS of it ✝️
You should reactive to Elvis Live in Las Vegas 1970 - Suspicious Minds. it's better than the Hawaii versions so entertainment.
