Elvis would have the band do a practice session with him fur as much as 2 hours to get everyone relaxed & 'in the groove' before he'd start the recording session much to the chagrin of RCA executives who did not appreciate what it cost them in studio time, LOL. The members of the band always enjoyed it though. Brenda Lee recorded the song first in 1970; Elvis in 1972 & Willie Nelson in 1982. Elvis songs to react to: Danny Boy It's Midnight Just Pretend Solitaire
Elvis was going through a separation and divorce from Priscilla at this time in his life. I am not alone in wondering if his song selection was impacted by what was going on his in his personal life. Anyway, his voice, the drums and the piano just get me in this song.
I think back in the day when all the musicians actually were in the same room recording together gives him more authentic vibe. These days sometimes the singers don’t even meet each other. I think it’s important to have that connection with your fellow musicians.
Elvis is singing from the deepest part of his heart and I was blessed to see him for the first time in Knoxville Tennessee on April 8 72,a month after this rehearsal, I was only 11 years old and had been in love with him since I could walk and listen, Pure Magic and Mystic, I have a request for you to react to Elvis singing Just Pretend and Loving Arms, just pretend in Vegas 1970 and Loving Arms is just audio version, well worth your time and thank you for sharing this beautiful Man Among Men Elvis forever and Always TCB 1935
Back in the 70's and before, it was common for songs to fade out at the end, so when Elvis thought he had repeated the ending long enough for the fade out, he let them know, that's enough, another words, it's a Take. 😁❤
Elvis’ wife Priscila, left him in 1972, & when he heard this song (via the songwriter), he immediately wanted it, & he recorded it a number of years before Willie Nelson did. Great Elvis Reaction.
“Kentucky Rain” is a great song Oct 9, 2017. It is a bit different, think you would really like it. Love your Elvis reactions, haven’t missed watching any of them.

You can hear the gospel quartet influence on this song. Elvis loved gospel quartet singing.

2017? Kentucky Rain was on his 1969 album.
@ It is the date under the video I watched. I know it was recorded in 1969.
@@patst1944 Exactly! The 'live' version of Kentucky Rain from 1970 is also very good. Happy new year!🥰
@patst1944 oh, I see 😂
The Official Audio version is the best for "Kentucky Rain"............
Elvis released his version before Willie, and both versions became signature songs for the singers.
Elvis 1972
Willie 1982
Great week of music!
