He did 5 more nights after that show and died 6 weeks after. Doctors prescribed too many uppers and downers to keep him preforming. His heart couldn’t take anymore of the stress of the over prescribed medication. He died of a heart attack not an overdose only 42 years of age RIP Elvis
Heart attack? OMG. Why did I hear that. Wow. Sorry for the misinformation. God bless Elvis. Still one of the greatest in my book.
@@awordfrompresidentpat1985 he was addicted to prescription drugs thanks to management and his doctors. He became non responsive to the increased doses so they’d increase it more. Eventually his heart gave up. If he said , I can’t do this show I’m exhausted they’d give him more drugs. He went to the bathroom to read, turned out he had got sick hit the floor and died of a heart attack. Thank you for reading that comment 👍
@@awordfrompresidentpat1985 No worries, prescription drugs were definitely the main contributing factor, along with health issues both related and unrelated to the drug mis-use.
@@awordfrompresidentpat1985 there are a lot of different theories on what caused Elvis's death. He did have a lot of medical conditions, some even since birth which weren't discovered until the autopsy. He always carried on, so I've heard, without ever complaining about being in pain or discomfort.
@@Cath1027 No!!! That's what happened? All I heard was he died in bathroom and it was an overdose. People making jokes about his death really annoyed me. Now, that I am a fan of Elvis I am disgusted with the media. They should be spreading the good things that he did for the music and film industry instead of the lies. This is the main reason I started my channel to pay respect to the greats that are being overlooked or misrepresented by the new generation. It sounds like another example of the greedy music industry treating artist like a money machine than as a human being. Wow. That makes me love Elvis even more. Thank you so much for the information.
He died shortly after. I remember the day, the time. He was 42.
Elvis still lives! In my ♥️
My Elvis ,I have Been an Elvis Fan Since The Sixties Elvis Is The Greatest Entertainer To Have Walked This Planet ! The Voice, Great Humanitarian, Most Handsome, Revolutionary The King Elvis !
Chills and tears, everytime❤🇺🇲
Elvis did not like being called the king. He said there is only one King and that is God.
He said that Jesus Christ is the King
Yes, I saw a video about that as well. :)
Jesus Christ is exactly what Elvis said
Humble king
Truth, Jesus Christ is King
The best singer in the whole world! ❤❤❤
His body failed him but his voice never did .... God bless this man .... he'll never be forgotten !
his voice was at its best in the early 60s much more flexible and could hit the high note The voice got powerful the voice was in much better condition in the early 60s
I agree! His voice overcame anything else. What a true performer. WOW!
Yeah weighing 300 pounds, taking 40 narcotics a day plus 9 shots of Demerol a day and consuming 20,000 calories a day!

Isn`t it easy being a nobody on this earth plane, sitting in one`s armchair and judging others who achieved the impossible? Little worms know very little but have great opinions. That`s why the world is where it is now.
I read your exact comment somewhere else!
Another Song that Shows Elvis, that needs your Reaction is Such A night
Elvis was very sick when he performed this, but he still gave it his all. We, his fans still love and miss him very much!! Singing with the angels now, RIP Elvis!! Best reaction ever!!
Thank you so much, Mary! That was honestly one of my favorite performances by Elvis so far. Just because he has the heart to get on stage and perform still. Plus, that voice gave me life. I am so happy to be a fan of Elvis now. :)
He is actually singing and the angels and God are listening.
@@awordfrompresidentpat1985 At this time he had already had 2, or 3 heartattacks (according to the autopsy) and all other helth issues, WOW
At the same time, he should not been on a stage feeling this sick, in the beginning you can hear that he can heardly breth, or speak, then he starts to sing WOW, this show was only 8 weeks before he died.
I think that he knew that he had a very short time left and the god part in this song was directed to god to take him home...
Elvis was the greatest is sad that he had to go so young but he did his purpose on this Earth😢
i have seen elvis in my life three times !!
Wow Elvis was sick that night and he still performed pure talent Amazing! We love you Elvis forever♥️♥️♥️♥️
Hello dear,how are you doing?
I am 70 years old and I've heard and watched Elvis most of those years. I enjoyed it all. There will never be another Elvis.
true
I'm 60 years and have also listened to him most of my life.
Am 60 & been listening to his music for yrs RIP
I agree wholeheartedly, there will never ever be another ELVIS PRESLEY ❤️❤️🙏🙏
Ditto, there will never ever be another ELVIS PRESLEY ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This was 6 weeks before his death, he poured out his heart. His incredible voice never once failed him.
Three weeks.
Sadly..I was too young to see him perform! He passed when I was 1 yr old. Always wished I could see him perform in person! His range was...just amazing...& no his voice never failed him!
@@Deanne3530 This performance was from June 21st 1977 and Elvis died August 16th. That's 56 days = 8 weeks.
@@stephenmorse8811 I stand corrected; Thanks.
@Alanna T. No, it was longer as 3 weeks. This video was June 21, 1977; he died on August 16, 1977. RIP dear Elvis. 🙏😥
Well said. ELVIS THE KING.
Thank you for your kind, respectful attitude of Elvis🇺🇸
I heartily second that. RIP dear Elvis, with love and respect for the blessed gift from God you truly were. 😇🥰🥰😔❤❤💔💝💖🙏🙏🌹💐🌺🌷✝
He looked as if he was suffering emotionally here, the darling man. You always think that if you or I had been able to talk to him without the glam and adulation, we could have saved him, talked sense into him, but sadly we wouldn't have been able to. The baggage he was carrying and the ability to make men cry even. He went home to his maker soon after. And had no need for drugs or heartbreak. Can't believe his baby daughter and grandson have joined him so soon after.
I am 69 and grew up on Elvis and it is no easier today to think of his death as it was when it happened. We lost a shining star that day.
Very sad ...no one like him 👍🇦🇺
Elvis never lost his God given voice that's why he is the King.
" our Elvis"....he gave us all he had for as long as he could....
We just did not want to say good bye to him.
The smirk on Elvis' face says it all. He knew how his singing affected people.
He died 2 months and 5 days after this. I just turned 11 and I still know where I was when I heard he died, the tears I cried lasted for a long time. This song was sang at my wedding. His gospel songs are the best. My husband has bought about every cd there is. I can still remember being little watching him on tv and asking momma to break the TV and get him out for me lol. He's my favorite singer and entertainer of all time. I still cry to this day when I hear him or watch him. Listen to some of his gospel music you'll love it. BTW best Christmas album of all time.
Even as a boy of only 13 I cried when Elvis died. Some of my friends at school were talking about Elvis health before he died earlier that summer, I think the press must have released info about Elvis health issues after the release of the book by his bodyguards, I didn't understand any of that at that time but I knew Elvis was unwell, so why did no-one try to help him instead of abusing him by forcing him on stage? I think Parker could have done more to help Elvis but it's history now.
AWESOME!!!!!
No smirk. He felt his music Can you not hear the wonder of the voice? Did you never watch him cry as he sang???
I heard or read, within the last year, that the smile might have been because he saw the love from his audience. I would say wonderment and awe also!
Elvis was bigger than rock & roll. The king of rock label suits him small, he was the king of music.
So true...every time I hear him described as the King of RnR I shout "No. No. Nooooo! he was/is so much bigger than that!"
The king of music not the king of rock and roll the king of music
Thank you!!
Yes!!!♥️♥️
♥️♥️♥️ one and only King 🕺🏻
It breaks my heart to see him this way ~ so much weight but his VOICE was STILL TREMENDOUS! He passed away the day I was in the hospital. I couldn't believe it, I thought it was a joke the nurse was playing on me. You young people NEED to hear his songs and story as well as other performers from the 40's, 50's and 60's. Soooo much REAL TALENT back in the day. 💖✨
Epic Elvis
I don’t think it was weight as it came on so suddenly. I think he was bloated & swollen due to his heart.
Friends of Elvis say that Elvis loved everyone. Elvis himself once said: "no matter who you are, no matter where you come from, we all come from God"!
I never met Elvis but my cousin who lived in Memphis went to church with him before he became famous, and tho he didn't know Elvis well he did say he was a very nice outgoing guy.
@@radamson1 thanks for the story All people who met Elvis personally say that Elvis was a very nice person and always offered his help. I think that Elvis was really a wonderful person.
I love your reactions and how deeply you express yourself and your emotions whatever gossip you have heard it's not true people liked to make stories about him because anything with his name sells he was a humble kind generous human being a gift from god
His voice was getting more and more powerful. Totally remarkable considering his declining health at the end. He was one of a kind human being.
Elvis could sing anything, that is why I don't understand why he only got 3 Grammys for his Gospel and nothing for his other music
He is the only artist that are in almost all Music Hall of Fame, but he is not mentioned as one of the best singers anywhere, why????????
Wow! And to think that the "Barbie" movie will probably earn more. Heart breaking.
It’s a political & popularity contest. It still is today.
@@magnuslofgren2441 c’est politique…
@@hifriquiya5236 I agree, or it's because they did not like him because he did not kiss their a..., perhaps both
As you can see Elvis' health is failing him and he is near death. But the one thing that never failed him until the day he died was his incredible voice.
Never.
And his voice will be with us for eternity We were so blessed to have had him with us until God decided to take him back
I will always love this King of Rock and Roll, Rest In Peace Elvis! You are and were the greatest! I
Despite his bad health towards the end, his incredible voice never failed him!
Incredible! His voice will never be forgotten throughout all eternity!🙏💞😇
God bless him, he was so I'll during this time. He should have been in hospital not on the stage. Rest in peace Elvis you gav everything to the world and you deserve it🙏
What an amazing soul. He did not have to do that but, he obliviously loved his fans.God bless his soul. So glad I was able to watch that in my lifetime. :)
Emozione Pura!! Grazie Meraviglioso ed Unico Elvis!!! Commovente....❤️♥️
It's actually six weeks before he died, and you'll notice he has three different necklaces on for the different religions, he said he didn't want too miss out on getting to heaven
Yes he said he didn't want to miss heaven on a technicality, when someone asked if he was confused about his religion. Linda Thompson told this story. He wore the Cross, the Jewish star of David and the Egyptian logo.
Aww really? :(. What a amazing and pure heart Elvis had. Wow. People should be ashamed of themselves for trying to bash his name. What a gift to the world.
I was at this concert in Rapid City. There were about 15000 in attendance and he sold out the opening of the Rapid City Civic Center in record time. You could hear a pin drop in the auditorium. Have never heard another artist that could captivate an audience like Elvis. Almost 50 years later I'm still one of his biggest fans. I never tire of listening to him.
Hello dear,how are you doing?
👍
Yes, Queen at Live Aid.The whole world. Beat that.
@@glenearl9506 he did
@@naddygam6490 No one beats Freddy Live aid. end off.
Elvis was extremely sick then. He passed away 6 weeks later of a heart attack. I was 14 yrs. old. His last album was called Moody Blue. Elvis hated to be called king. He said that there is ONLY ONE KING and that is JESUS CHRIST. When Elvis passed away, it was like losing a extremely close family member. It still effects me today, just as losing my parents. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Yes, Kimberly. I can see how that would be effective. Wow. But, it's good to still have these memories you can always cherish. :)
God bless!
I was 14 too. Cried for many weeks and I often get teary watching his performances, especially this one. It was a time of world-wide mourning. Rip Elvis xxx
I absolutely. 1000% Agree. Was like losing a close loved one.Still hurts
Your were right once still was the King.When hwe opened his mouth to sing all the other stuff goes away.Yes he was in poor health here he died soon after this performance gained some weight but as you said when he gave that smile of his and sang he was still king of music and always will be I'm glad to see the younger generation appreciate this music. God bless. You see the Real Elvis.
His voice never died, he will always be the King 👑
Hello dear,how are you doing?
I'm so thrilled that our younger generations are loving and sharing our Elvis.
Sadly, he died believing he never did anything big and people would forget him.
It breaks my heart.
He will always be the 👑 KING! ❤️
Now you know why he was called the king, an accolade fully deserved.
For sure. I deserved it all. I now see why. WOW.
He was a King on this earth & Prince was a Prince on earth. Both loved God do much.
Who ever disliked this video shame on you. 😠 loved your reaction very much Elvis was the best friend i ever had in my entire life. we met when i was 17 yrs old. I won a radio show contest and the prize was a day with Elvis but our friendship lasted past that one day in time. All the memories of my friend are tucked safe in my heart forever. dancing and singing breaks my heart because i know he is not here anymore my mind understands but my heart never will, i saw him a few weeks before he passed we had a short conversation, which i will never share again because people are so nasty and comment hurtful heart breaking things they do not know me but they still can't keep their mouths closed about things they know nothing about. I walk past Graceland everyday without fail. i can't watch this to the end it hurts to much i hope you will watch more of his music videos. Btw Elvis was very ill in this video he was forced to do this because Parker insisted he do it. his voice never failed him he did this flawlessly using all the energy he had left. love from Memphis Tn.
Hope you are doing well. Good to see you are fighting the good fight. God bless you.
It's wonderful that you had the opportunity to not only meet Elvis but become friends with him! I will Never understand why people say the things they do! Just know there are more people that have nothing but love in there heart for Elvis!!! ❤❤❤ It's the jealous, racist, miserable people that spout the hate! Pretend there not here!!!
It's amazing that you met and were friends with Elvis. I've always known of him and his music but never truly dug into his catalogue. The movie has really made me go deep into his history and learn about him as a person. It seems nearly universal that the people that knew Elvis, loved Elvis. What a wonderful human being we were blessed with. I hope the family has a lot of comfort from the fact that the record is being corrected and the movie "did him right." Also, he's gaining thousands upon thousands of new fans!
I’m am SOOOO GLAD to be able to Talk WITH SOMEONE who KNEW ELVIS.. WAS HIS F R I E N D !!! I never got to see any Live concert BUT I Do Have VCR & CDs Memories of his Movies & Concerts!! (Hope my VCR/CD machines don’t break down! 🥺)
GOD BLESS YOU & Someday, You & me will Hear Elvis Again..!! ♥️♥️ from Canada 🇨🇦♥️
(PS.. I made it to Graceland.. Aug 11-17/2012… I Felt his Being in his Home.. picturing him there.. HAPPIEST TIME .. but Saddest at his grave 😢.. but overall, I wouldn’t have missed going!! ♥️)
I think I heard your story before. Lucky person you are. That voice of gold won't soon be forgotten. He could sing every genre, anything from a lullaby to light opera and made you feel the music in your soul. I saw a story about Parker walking into to Elvis's room in Las Vegas and finding Elvis writhing in pain. Made him perform anyway. I think I might have been at that concert because Elvis asked that the spotlight be turned off as it was bothering him. His eyes were painful, I guess. His performance, pain and all, was as excellent as always.
Overwhelming. Elvis is intense and overwhelming by nature. There’s a reason that he’s a King. He’s beautiful in so many ways. Intense. Passionate.Real. Charismatic. Handsome and so much more.
Elvis Presley was and is an enduring phenomenon. ❤
Elvis had many health problems including Glaucoma, Colon problems and insomnia. He only took prescription meds, no street drugs. He did not drink alcohol either. He died six weeks after this performance at age 42 of a heart attack at Graceland. Very sad. 😢
Yes, sad. I was little upset about video because was not ready to see him like that. However, I was so happy in the end, So powerful!!! OMG.
Yes, he only took prescription meds, but his Doctor was irresponsible in what he prescribed. I believe he lost his license after Elvis died because of the way he prescribed medication.
It was said by Charlie Hodge said that he had bone cancer I don't know why he wouldn't make that up
he was prescribed uppers and downers....because doctors thought it was good for you then when you were on road a lot. clearly it stressed his heart out.
@@cassieearle9196 you're right much like Doctors use to prescribed cigarettes they thought they were good for you
Totally Awesome-Thank you!!!!
Your comments, coming from a black man, is priceless to the masses! Thank you for your praisin'.
God given talent in Elvis
He had many health problems and died of a heart attack. Yes he took many prescription drugs for many ailments. I try to avoid anything from 77..he died 6 weeks after this. God bless this wonderful man 💙
That was God gift to us, and a month later, God took his gift back home. his work here on earth was completed. He had the ability to open your soul and feel heaven. Thank you, Elvis. You thought you'd be forgotten forget that you will never be forgotten
I've seen a documentary showing how he was the first performer to bring both black and white audiences together . He literally broke the racial divide . There was outrage at what he was doing by the racists . But too late the Star was born , the horse had bolted and history was changed forever !,
Yes and that's why they tried so hard to tear him down spread rumors about him. Elvis still won. We are all still listening to him together now. Beautiful.
I love how you are so loving towards such a great and beautiful man. Thank you!
This performance shows that Elvis never lost the power of his voice.
Now you know how us ladies felt when he sang love ballads. Elvis mesmerised you as if he was singing to only you.
Thank you so much 💓 for your thoughts of this performance.
I've heard so many people say he should have never let the world see him like this, the shape he was in. I consider this final recorded concert to be his ultimate gift to his fans, to the world. You mentioned you felt what he was feeling. This was Elvis, this is what he did without knowing it. When I watched you review American Trilogy, I cried. I've watched it a thousand times, and I still cry. Elvis fans are the most loyal and dedicated fans ever....So glad you've become a fan!
Hello dear,how are you doing?
Absolutely the Best Voice ever!
The only thing I miss more than the sound of Elvis' voice is the sound of his laughter. 💔❤️💔
Tears for me EVERY time I watch this. Im 79 yrs old - saw him first time at age 15. This last part is at the conclusion if the movie ELVIS! It was magnificent! Tks for your kind words & your review! He IS still the greatest!
Elvis always give me Goosebumps . what a voice. what a gorgeous looking Man. and that smile.
Goosebumps and tears .This overwhelms me .
I actually find it too heartbreaking and distressing to watch Elvis perform when he was so very unwell. 💔💔
It makes me so happy to see young people discovering the magic of Elvis. He had an incredible voice which was getting richer with age. The power he had when he let loose was phenomenal. I’ve been a massive fan all my life and his voice still moves me. There will never be another Elvis and he will always be the king. He changed music forever. I still cry like a baby whenever I watch any documentaries / films on him. Once you get to know the music get to know the man as what he did for charities and others is mind blowing. A true king in every sense of the world. He’s missed every day
I could not agree more. I thing with me is that I just love music. Period. Does not matter who it is, what gerne of music as long as it moves me. And since I've started my Elvis journey he has done that and more. I honestly can really see why people were so in love with him because not only did he have that voice and stage presence. He seemed to have a great spirit. So, happy that I took the time to start reacting to his music. :)
God bless him makes me sad when I see Elvis like this but then when he sings my goodness so powerful, soulful just gets me every time RIP Elvis ❤ ..great reaction
Yes, so true. I was very sad in the beginning. But, once he open his mouth to sing it change my whole mood. What an amazing voice he had. I loved that performance in the end!!
@@awordfrompresidentpat1985 have you seen early Elvis there's one to watch that he did with Frank Sinatra after he came home from the army. . 2 legends together!
@@johanley229 Elvis did a song with Frank Sinatra??? 😮😮.
@@awordfrompresidentpat1985 yes it was Elvis's homecoming they both sang together it was a live performance Frank Sinatra sang Elvis's song love me tender and Elvis sang Frank's song witchcraft but they did them together its really good short but good you should check it out if you can !
No one can judge Elvis ever. He is so freaking awesome.
Hello dear,how are you doing?
He didn't sing...he literally felt the song...it makes me cry all the time. 😭❤️❤️
Still brings tears to my eyes
I'm 56 years old and I still remember as a kid when I saw it announced on tv that Elvis died...I remember it like it was yesterday. God love him. I still miss that man, no other artist in any genre of music can compare to Elvis and his music. From day one when he first started out until the day he died he gave the entire world the best music ever and the best of himself. May he rest in eternal peace. This world would be a much better place with more like him...But Elvis was one of a kind, irreplaceable!! Your reaction to this is priceless. God bless you, Patrick!!
Hello dear,how are you doing?
Oh my dear dear Lord... awesome fabulous just to listen to him he songs that Song was so so Emotional and he must know he was going to leave Us one day and has happened 😢😢😢😢Mr President Patrick Smith, I cried too watching you feeling tearful. God Bless and Protect you and your family always ❤❤☦️🛐🙏🏻🤲👍💗💞💞👌👌👌👌
I’m in tears! It’s so hard seeing Elvis like this. He looked so bad and he looked so tired. 💔💔💔
He died on August 16, 1977.
You are a very special person and I love your reactions!!!
Thank you so much. Yes, I did too. I took a minute to wipe my tears before I finished the final video. That was such a hard yet beautiful video to watch. :) He will live on through his music and performances.
Take care!
So hard after all these years watching him. In tears. His birthday is coming up.
That was for Prisella. He never stopped loving her 😥
Died too too young. The king will live forever
I absolutely love your reaction to Elvis. I’m sure you know this was one of his last performances and it makes me sad that he was derided by many at the end and those that tried to minimize him simply as ‘Fat Elvis” miss the point that you actually captured quite eloquently…. 50 years after that performance he still moves people. He is, was, and always will be THE KING
A Legend!
Elvis was not just the king of rock, but the king of music!
I am 69 years old, and I still remember the day Elvis died and where I was, on a crowded freeway at a dead stop in Columbus Ohio when I heard on the radio that he died. As I looked around at the people stuck in traffic with me I knew that they heard it to. Horns started blaring people started shouting. It was truly surreal. Elvis is the king and will forever be the king!😢❤
My man...your reaction was absolutely priceless!! 💯 Awesome 👌
Gives you chills. He was truly amazing.
Great reaction. Thank you for what you said. It shouldn’t matter about the negative things in someone’s life, focus on the good. Elvis brought so much pleasure with his voice and music. He deserves all the praise he gets. ❤️
Agree! The rumors and media really had me fooled. For years, I just took their words. Shame on me for not getting my own view on Elvis. But, now I am fully aware!! People still send me messages trying to change my views. But, I can form my own options on I see and hear and I see a man of great talent and legendary status. :). I will continue to enjoy Elvis.
@@awordfrompresidentpat1985
Oh you'll always get the haters, these people have problems, mainly jealousy. He was being worked like a donkey by Parker, to pay off his gambling debts and addiction, he was getting 50% of Elvis's earnings.
Elvis was a impulsive spontaneous man and got bored easily and quickly, can you imagine doing the same thing, singing the same songs, thats why even when he was enjoying his concerts in 1970 he was changing words doing silly things like putting the mike in his mouth, over and over again it must have been hell on earth, and we fans contributed by expecting the best all the time and putting him on a pedestal, a god like figure, with no way out, he couldn't have the life we have, no freedom, he was trapped in his own fame.
Thats why I think what happened was planned, or hopefully his death was faked as some think and maybe alive still.
There's so much we don't know and will never know.
He was the king of all genres of music, he could sing anything.
So so very sad 😪
@@awordfrompresidentpat1985 I hope you've had a chance to see the movie Elvis. Many folks who had skewed ideas of Elvis walk away with real appreciation for his music and for who he was. I'm so thrilled to see new generations rediscovering his incredible talent. 🥰
Elvis Deserves every bit of this adoration. Seriously. I loved Elvis but didn't think much any more about him. Now with this new Movie out and all of you wonderful reviewers listening to his songs again. He is The KING...The 45th anniversary of his untimely death is just in 2 days, August 16, 2022. He will live on forever in our hearts.
You can overlook him being a Cho mo ???
@@kimwhatmatters4085 a what?
He was a wounded soul surrounded by yes men. My generation, I’m 57, doesn’t think of the end. We love the heck out of him. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Dear Mr. Pat Smith: THANK YOU! The instant the 1st word came out of Elvis... I put both my hands on my head (I don't know why) and repeated out loud "Oh my God." A few times I put my hand on my heart area to calm myself as tears streamed. When this beautiful man was on stage, he was in his zone (born to be there). This man had some kind of powerful, loving force working from within. That smile was him knowing his incredible connection to his people-that he was giving them what they wanted/needed. July 4, 2022, my 18 yr old Grandson (Coltin) shouted to me from 20 ft away... Grandmommy, you have got to go see the Elvis movie. When he was a baby, his Mom would play Elvis's love ballads to calm him to sleep. Soooo... on some level, Elvis is still alive. Now, let's talk about you. Your emotions and descriptions where just wonderful to see and hear. I would like to give you a hug. Kentucky.
I think the music and emotion was in Elvis from birth. While listening to a rehearsal I heard him say "I'm an emotional s.o.b. I get emotional very easily". I watched an episode of Elvis Through His Eyes (The Man Of Music) last night where he said "I've always loved music. My mother and dad both loved to sing. They tell me when I was about 3 or 4 I got away from them in church and walked up in front of the choir and started beatin' time". And one of his musicians said "when Elvis chose a new song he spent time alone with it until it was engrained in his heart".
Wow. Really? That's amazing. Thank you so much for sharing that story. Seems like Elvis touched alot of people. But, I can see why.
Thank you!
I saw Elvis twice in 1976 and once in 1977. Yes, he was tired and had put on weight, but his voice stayed incredible! He's been gone over 44 years now, but one never tires of seeing or hearing him. He was truly the King of music. Can you imagine him singing with the Angel's now?? Wow!!
@@bettybrown5011 Wow! You're so lucky to have seen him perform live. I never had that opportunity. I've been a fan since the age of 10 in 1956 and just discovered these young people exploring his music and life a few months ago. It's so exciting to see them becoming fans while keeping his music and legacy alive.
@@kathifielder1110 it was awesome l. He was a little nervous because of his weight but that didn't stop his voice! It's one of my most treasured memories!
Elvis was terrified! His voice never failed him, even at the end!
Unbelievable brilliant performance. masterpiece.Rest assured Elvis has plenty of other exciting songs like this. Especially his gospel songs that make chills.
No, it was not.
My aunt Barbara, God rest her soul, attended his very last show at Indianapolis, IN. You could even see her on film as the fans enter Market Square Arena!
I get teary eyed every time I see this. God broke the mold when he made him. He was struggling with talking but when he sang - he sang from the heart.
Colonel Parker pushed him because he needed the money for his gambling. At one point Elvis was out of it and they could not wake him up at his home and the Dr gave him a shot. Parker knowing what was going on, told the men to make sure Elvis was on stage no matter what. He should had been canceling his shows and allowing him to rest. So sad that the one he trusted used him the most. His heart could not take all the abuse from the prescription drugs.
Just watched his movie recently and man, I'm officially convinced that Elvis was definitely the King.... I doubt anyone will ever come close
I cry everytime I hear this song. Even now at work I'm crying. The greatest singer of all time.
Magnificent, gives me goosebumps
A spine chilling performance his health was failing but his voice amazing about 7 weeks latet makes me tear him loved your reaction thank you 👍👏👏 Just pretend Walk a mile in my shoes from 1970 then Hurt from 1977
Yes. Absolutely. Thanks so much for the video suggestions.
Elvis Lived three Life times, and heartbreakingly it took it's toll on him in the end he paid the price, I truly believe that God must have loved him because no matter how badly his body deteriorated and started to fail him he never lost his amazing voice.
This is tragic but triumphant at the same time. His glorious voice never deserted him and he NEVER let his fans down. Still adored all around the world and still making new fans. Take care and love from the UK.
I really appreciate all your reactions tablets. I love to watch them when you do it because you say the nicest things. He was the nicest man and most beautiful heart and greatest talent and like you said nothing else matters. Thank you for your sweet amazing reactions.
He deserves it. Thank you very much.
Thank you for the respect you show The King of rock and roll. Our beloved Elvis !!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Gives me goosebumps listening to his amazing voice . The king of music, which no other singer could come close to
Hello dear,how are you doing?
Simply magnificent. Even just 2 months before the end...incredible.
I've probably mentioned it, but his performance of "How Great Thou Art" from 1972 is one you will love, Patrick.
Yes, Dave! That's one of my next videos to do. :)
He was the King. He sang from his heart very emotion experience. Many have sung this song. But Elvis owns it
I am really sobbing my eyes out here it’s truly a hard watch for me he didn’t take an overdose but he was taking lots of prescription drugs and I mean a lot he died of heart failure at the age of 42 I’ve been a fan of Elvis’s for over 60yrs now and I still love him as much as I did then the love for Elvis never leaves you this concert was his last as he past away 6 weeks later he really did sing his heart out at this concert his health failed him but his voice never did he past away on the 16th of August 1977 I was 24yrs old and I was absolutely devastated and I still am I cry 😢 many times when I’m watching him The greatest entertainer that ever lived and the most beautiful he was funny ,kind,genuine and giving he was very religious and he was just a beautiful person please react to one of his gospel songs I Believe or Let us Pray from his film Change of Habit I love 💕 your reactions to Elvis Love from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴👑👑👑🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🎸🎸🎸😢😔🙏💔
Know how you feel. He was special and special people can see that.
Appreciate your kind & thoughtful words.
Sad to see Elvis like this 😥 He was the Best & Always will be in my eyes. Even Johnny Cash agrees with all the Elvis fans. Said Elvis, was the all-around Entertainer. Checkout Elvis's Live version of Hurt. His voice in that one. 😳Wow!!😳When I heard him sing it in concert 😳Amazing twice at that 💞 People think women liked Elvis for just his good looks & hip swaying ways. Maybe for some, but for me it was his singing, his passion for it. They way he pulled you into his songs. Still today his songs sends chills. He had such a soulful heart. Can you imagine having a friend like him. I think those that knew him personally, were lucky to have had him in there life. Love your reactions to Elvis. Thank you!!

Hello dear,how are you doing?
The great Elvis Presley RIP, singing with the angels now. Heaven is blessed with this majestic voice. Thank you Jesus for blessing us in our life time.
His incredible voice never failed him. He never failed us! He was in horrible agony during this concert, bc he was dying. GOAT FOREVER. Love and miss him always. God bless him.
My grandparents are from Tupelo Mississippi and it is where I live. It's the birthplace of Elvis Presley. My grandmother and aunt saw him perform here at the old Tupelo fairground in 1956. I know alot about Elvis. He had an identical twin named Jesse who died at birth and is still buried here. Elvis was an only child born in a 2 room house here that bus loads of tourists still come each year to see. When he was here and very young he asked for a BB rifle for Christmas but all his father found at the hardware store here was a guitar. It is still the same hardware store and open.
His parents moved him to Memphis Tennessee where he attended High School. If you research, he as a teen joined a huge Black Church there and tried out for the choir in which he was accepted and was a choir member. The Church leaders knew there was something very special about his singing ability. He was no racist. He went into a small recording studio and paid $4 to record a song for his mother whom he loved dearly. He got a job as a truck driver at age 18. He went back and paid $4 to record the song That's alright Momma which took off like wildfire and went to number 1 and there you have it. His style was new and his own. He was the author and creator to rock and roll.
During his career he got addicted to drugs. The men around that he trusted had to make up shots with percice drugs he requested and he took injections each day before his death. His downfall was when he was drafted into the army and his mother died unexpectedly and he was never the same. His drive to succeed came from the inner quilt that he lived and his twin did not and because of the poverty of his parents who had been so poor and he wanted to better the life of his beloved mother. When she died and he wasn't there it changed him and the reason and drive to succeed was gone. He never really recovered from losing her. His life was only 42yrs and there will never be another like him. He stood for equal rights and when he sang, In the ghetto and If I could dream, he meant every word. If his female singers of color were not excepted then he would not perform and move to the next place to perform. He had a very good giving heart and bought big gifts for many people. He was unique and very special. He couldn't survive and live without his mother. He is now united with her and God Bless you Elvis as the world still mourns and loves you. As long as the world keeps turning people will remember him and love him. What a impact a poor only child born in a tiny 2 room house in Tupelo Mississippi made within only 42 years.
