I think you've forgotten about the Addidas advert to showcase the Football World Cup! That certainly took off in the UK, and was No.1 in the charts soon after, as the younger folk took a great interest in this Elvis new release: Even my son said it didn't sound 'dated'!
I love all of his songs and I was pregnant with my daughter when it came over the radio that he had died !! I I’m still a big fan of his music. I may be older but I’m still rocking and rolling to his songs !❤❤❤😊
My favorite song of his was " Can't Help Falling In Love With You ".
I heard it when it came out num one in Canada 3 weeks. I kept asking everybody had they heard Elvis new song looks I got. I heard it n said I didn't remember it sounding like that same day heard it again n heard about remix
Why do they do that. What is the song????
all of the true Elvis fans, never forgot any of his music, i am 83 and know them all by heart. always
I loved Elvis with any song he sang!
❤❤ Elvis was the king of rock and roll. RIP
GOD gave ELVIS a beautiful voice, & he never lost it!!!! (THANK YOU LORD), AMEND!!!😪 We miss you brother!!!!💗👍👍
The Most Loved Rock and Roll and Gospel Singer in the World of Music-ELVIS, sold more single Records than anyone in History of Music...
I miss you and i love you dear sweet cousin
I am 81 and love every song of his ,he will be in my memory always!❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
Elvis's chameleon voice is otherworldly!
He is an iconic artist, the likes of which may never be seen again
He was just purely wonderful!
I have to admit that even though an avid Elvis fan, I didn't think much of this at the time, but the rdmix brought it to my attention and I realized It is a great song.
I remember when they released A Little Less Conversation and Little More Action became club hit with the modern music background it was easy to dance to and people loved it.
I heard that song all my life. I am in my 60's. Not sure why it was "obscure" or forgotten, it was like many of his other songs, fantastic. I have not heard it recently, but I can tell you, I know all the lyrics and the tune is running through my head with memories of hearing it as a pre-teen and beyond.
There's always a story.... Thanks for this
Not forgotten. Never was or will be!!!!
Sensational!! He truly meant every word❤
My favorite Elvis Presley song was SINGING IN THE Chapel. A beautiful song that would be beautiful for a wedding. Rarely mentioned.
"Crying In The Capel" ?
Great tune, but hardly wedding material. The songs about a heartbroken man who now finds solace in God.
@@user-ll1xd7uh6c The Orioles' tune, "You saw me crying in the chapel, the tears I cried were tears of joy." I remember them singing that with Don McLean on the Mike Douglas Show.
Crying in the chapel 😊
@@user-ll1xd7uh6c crying in the chapel
This is one of my favorite songs sung by Elvis & the song I sing quietly while standing at the checkout counter in the grocery store. I hate when the clerk & patron are constantly talking to each other & slowing up the line.
me too! One day I waited so long for them to finish their conversation I bit the end of my tongue off.
What song u talking about
I’m a huge fan of elvis Presley’s and I love 💕 elviss music and flims too elvis will always be the king 👑 of 🎸 rock and roll 🎸 my dream is to visit Graceland and communicate with elvis and his family and friends 3:42pm

I never heard elvis sing a song ,i didnt like, i loved them all, every song, he made his own,beautiful❤ elvis, the greastest of all times,he will live on 4 ever in our ❤
Elvis Presley could sing any song that is why he's the king
I’m so happy to hear this.
Had not heard that thank you very much
It's a beautiful song and Elvis sang it so well. Also I think that he could be a very good drama actor and not only comedies. He wanted to do it but your manager only wanted money.
Mac Davis WOW that is anazing to add his talent to Elvis
Elvis Presley was a great MEN . He was my Hero . I love his music and he was a Talented person . sure do miss and love him . He made my day and my world . I loved him
Thank's enjoyed it .
adoro "a litlle less conversation"
So all this stuff ABOUT, the song but we don't actually HEAR, the song.
Really! What a let down¡
I agree. I wouldn't have listened if I had known that.
@@migizi52 : That's all well over 90% of these channels are about now, clickbait titles simply, to sneer people in. Lies and deception all over the place here, and TH-cam refuses to do anything about it. It is an absolutely, horrendously, managed and monitored site. Absolutely, horrendous.
After hearing about this story I looked for my Elvis album and was sure that song was on it But I had to listen to whole album ! Best moment that morning listening to his Album’s music even to the bonus song 😊😊😊😊😊
@@dianeschwertfeger1696 : Well, I am happy you had that experience. The description of this video let you to believe there was a song of Elvis's that had never gotten published and of course, everyone would think you would hear that here. Clickbait title to misleadingly, draw people in. It seems to be the tactic everybody uses over TH-cam now, and I hate it with a passion.
Ya, I have old material of Elvis on CD. I have one or two albums of his, I believe, I have not listened to in quite a while now. Maybe I'll dig them out soon. Maybe nice to listen to over Christmas. My Best. Out.
It was also a big part of the 68 comeback special
I think you mean Crying In The Chapel, You saw me crying in the chapel, the tears I shed were tears of joy, I know the meaning of contentment now I happy with the Lord. Just a plain and simple chapel, where humble people go to pray. Is that it ?
Een fantastische artiest, wij hadden jaren terug een massa singles van Elvis, onvergetelijk !!!!
I always liked this song since 1968. Was glad to get it on CD when RCA combined two or three of Elvis' movie song catalogs on one CD. I prefer the vocal on the original release.
Love his album with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra!
It was not his first UK number one since 1965. The Wonder Of You and Way Down both topped the UK charts.
My favorite song is Flaming Star from the movie as well, which I also believe was one of his better movies because it showed his skills as a bonafide actor. Another movie I loved was Charo and the song with a ballad, my other favs was his gospel music which flowed deeply from his heart and soul. I always felt he did well in these Western genres, and Even though these films didn’t do well at the box office, I also felt they were some of his better films and showed his acting abilities together with his talents. I didn’t care about all the girly movies, simply because all the women were after him all the time and this lead to more of the same genre but only in a different storyline. I felt he was being cheated from this acting arena, and from trying to get a chance to go and make a difference with it. I did love a good love story though, but it wasn’t the same without his own character development as in Flaming Star and Charo.
But as is today, so was it then also, sex sells. He was a sexy and handsome man, and Marilyn Monroe was a sexy and beautiful woman that was stereotyped as a dumb blond, she was NOT. She was quite intelligent. Who knows how far they could have gone if they could have had the chance to explore their own acting careers more than what was dealt to them. It would have been interesting to see how much more they could have done in their careers. RIP Elvis, Marilyn, regardless of all the hoopla, I definitely seen what others might have missed within your abilities and other talents hidden behind a marked genre. 👍❤️🙏🏼😇🎵
I agree! Colonial Parker did Elvis Presley wrong.
Flaming Star was originally called Black Star and is v good/diff///////it may have also inspired David Bowie.....
With all due respect, Elvis did Elvis wrong. What fans can't seem to understand is that Parker worked for Elvis and not the other way around. If Elvis really cared about making better movies or doing a world tour and if in fact the Colonel was holding him back then Elvis should have fired him. However, I believe that Elvis was motivated strictly by money; therefore, He and the Colonel were a perfect match.@@amypagekaviani5661
I agree. I think Flaming Star showed his actual acting talents were better than he got credit for! I personally believe he could have had a really good chance at acting if he had been taken more seriously at it and given quality roles!
I agree!@@maverickdh62
The song was used in Everybody Loves Raymond, Robert and Amy dance to it as their reception.
Also from 1965 to when this was released Elvis had The Wonder of You at number one in 1970 and weigh down at number one in 1977
I find this hard to believe. I remember that song well from the early 70's, and it was never obscure but quite popular. I also remember the jazzed up re-release. I wondered at that time why it was re-released since the first edition was already a hit.
Oh gott be "ALittle Less Conversation "❤
It’s a great song lyrics very deep and sad
Al Casey received credit but did not play on this song or Soundtrack. He had double booked that day and had asked his best friend Mort Marker to take his place. Mort did receive credit on another Elvis soundtrack when Al asked him to play that session as well.
Hello! Watching & Listening.This Too.
Was 1st Time When Not Heard A Music
Took you a long time to get to the point. Thank God for the "slider" on the video player. ;)
Awesome❤
How are you doing today! I hope it been a beautiful day today?
I knew when I first heard the original that it shud have been a big hit.......25 years ago....
You are right, though mentioned the song was even forgotten in this video.
Well, aren't you going to play the song for us?!!
How are you doing today! I hope it been a beautiful day today?
I would say the Nike advert with top footballers playing in an underground 5 a side game helped the song to a younger audience
Teddy Bear was mine and my boyfriends song in 1974! Sweeeeet memories-ha
I liked that movie!
Hello 👋
Elvis had 12 no1chart toppers in Australia previously not none as u state
Elvis presley was a "once in a lifetime talent" the likes of which may never be seen again.
His chameleon voice changed multiple times in his very short life.
Truly remarkable
I like "Wooden Heart", as my Daddy used to sing it to me when I was little. He couldn't pronounce the German lines, as he spoke no German, so he just sang the English part again!
Min favorit inte getto 👍🤫✌️❤️🌼😶🐾
Interesting, but where's the song? Don't we get to hear it?
How could you possibly forgot about Elvis please
A little less conversation
The movie was good not a flop had good song at the begging of the movie and in movie edge of reality song also almost in love was good and a actress from star trek was the blonde Elvis sang to 🎉
Most of Elvis films were good,,,only a few poor in the middle, then last few good again....
It would've been nice if you could've played the song for those of us who haven't heard it
Elvis had two #1's in the 70's in the UK so 1965 Crying In The Chapel wasn't his last upto the release of A Little Less Conversation
Exactly.
I think the movie is a classic masterpiece as is the song
All talk. Where’s the song?
One think about him is king of Rock roll sing
It wasnt his first no 1 since 65 in the uk Wonder of you 70 and of course Way Down 77 !
!look up guitar shorty's version of a little less conversation. It rocks!
It wasn't his first uk no.1 since 1965 (crying in the Chapel). He had two other uk no.1's........ the wonder of you (1970) and way down (1977).
i kept hoping youd play the song in this video but it never came
Cut the cackle and let's hear the music. Tha mun bi gormless.
My favourite is Beware of a girl in britches. Love that song.
It was always a great song that newer version sucked and always will
It was not Elvis's 1st No1 since 1968,, In 1977 WAY DOWN reached No.1 in the uk.
We have heard it said that imitation is a sincere form of flattery, but there is much actual footage from the Elvis archives, why choose imitations?
Hello 👋 I totally agree with you 💯 You're a real fan
Hola🇪🇸🥘🔔🌹🎄🧑🎄
Which song is he talking about
Please get your facts straight. The remix was based on Elvis' version for the '68 special, and was sung in a totally different key, and contained several octave leaps. The 2 versions are totally different, the version used being FAR SUPERIOR !!!
The Soderberg file Oceans 11 did not have sinatra and the ratpak in it... what you meant to say was George Clooney, it was a remake. small mistake there, just to point out. and the commercial was not Shark Tale, it was Shark Tank! otherwise very informmative and thanks for this information.
MAC DAVIS! not Matt...He was a genius and his name was MAC.
It would have been nice to hear at least a clip of the song, don't you think?
Interesting
I care!!
It’s my text message tone
I don't believe what this narrator just said. Little less conversation Matt Davis. I'll be honest after his death but thanks to you too going through videos. I heard the song. I can't remember if I heard the remix first or Elvis versions first original version. Because you go back into and watched the clip of the movie that Elvis sings the song during the show of the movie and it sounded pretty really good. But the generation today there's more people today that lack different style music and that was probably really catchy to them back in the 60s the late 60s the late sixties Elvis picked out a lot of great songs but there was a lot of great songs he wanted to. For some reason the colonel captain from that. Colonel was not supposed to mess with the music. Elvis was supposed to do the entertaining and pick the songs and Colonel Parker was supposed to do the business part. Colonel held our man back. I heard a story said my Mac Davis that one of his friends came up to him. And said you have another hit. Matt Davis didn't even know about it he forgot about the. That came from him. Because the UK it went number 1 and a lot of different countries.well let's put it this way within the first 5 somewhere. Matt Davis made a ton of money once again by his friend Elvis. And the person that did the remake. See if Elvis would had better engineers back in the the day he would have had a hundred more hits. Because Elvis had so many songs that he recorded. That should had been the number one hit for. Even Memphis Tennessee should have been a hit for Elvis if it wasn't for Johnny Rivers screwing him over. Yeah you heard it right Johnny Rivers was Elvis's good friend back in the day. Elvis was working on recording, Memphis Tennessee and he happened to play it for Johnny Rivers, which Johnny Rivers it blew him away the way I was did it, before Elvis got to record the song, Johnny Rivers, hurry up arrange the song and recorded it got it on the, Elvis heard the song and he just couldn't believe that his friend would screw him over, needless to say they were never friends again, and that way they run into each other Elvis was a man and still introduce him did what he did with him whatever, the Memphis Mafia told the story after I was a died I was never told nobody,that's the way Elvis was that could have been another hit for Elvis and at the time I was could have used it, supposedly but Elvis's remarks he goes well if he needs that song that bad let him have it. Of course Johnny Rivers Rivers said it didn't go down that way he lied. Because there's nobody there to backup Johnny Rivers is story. But there were a ton of Elvis's people that told the story in a book and whatever it came out to be. That's why it took a little while for it to come out and I like Johnny Rivers I was disappointed when I heard him do that stealing a song from Elvis. So Elvis still cut the song but it didn't do as good because they already heard the song the song already was out there. But I wasn't cut it to a little bit later. Because Elvis's the way he thought and the rest of his people did not want to think that he was copying off of Johnny Rivers which it was the other way around. And I to even said his people Elvis's people said if Elvis would have got to record that song it would have went to number one. Johnny Rivers had a hit from it but it didn't go to number. Elvis was the man back in anything he's recorded what's the number one. In my opinion when they said Elvis's career was going downhill I don't believe that. Whoever started the rumor and whoever started it that's where it started. Cuz I've never once heard Elvis and any of his videos say he was worried about his career. It was always in a. Movie
God bless the king
Neither version was a patch on the original, written and recorded by Chuck Berry.
During the 69 sessions elvis sings one line of this song between 2 songs
What was the name of the song
What song?
It was the pool scene with Celeste Yarnell and not a scene featuring Michelle Cary.
Sad that Elvis' pictures have been run through AI. I guess it's so they don't have to get permission for the real photographs.
A little less conversation??
Only difference they made it a vegas theme..now..
What was the song you never said the name
What song is it please
Elvis had many no 1 hits in Australia that fact is wrong, I hope the rest of the facts are more accurate.
. .✨ the actors shown here to portray EP, Cilla and others are very striking in similarity to the real people ! . . Can you name this footage/film ? . . very interesting, thank you 🫵
The pics of Elvis look kinda strange.. where are they from? New Priscilla movie??
Probably created by A.I.
I have both versions. The original version is okay, but the remixed version, with Junkie's Junk Sound Additions, is discordant with Elvis's singing. The song's popularity had nothing to do with the song; it had to do with missing Elvis!
Vous serait t'il possible de traduire en français. Merci
I guessed the song right off , reason he never performed the song, it is very difficult to sing, it's a real tongue twister.
Me😊
