Can you imagine all the music you two may have missed out on if you hadn't started your channel? Good job on you both.😊❤
-definetly !-
Absolutely! It brings me such joy watching this young couple react to all this classic music. ✌️
And all the music I would have forgotten about.
Elvis recorded Always on My Mind on March 29, 1972 & released on October 31, 1972.
Willie recorded & released this song in 1982.
I was blessed to have gone to 2 of Elvis concerts in 1974 & 1975. Elvis’ voice was better live that recorded. He was awesome! ❤❤
Willie Nelson said he liked Elvis version better than his own!
This song was covered by many artists, notably recorded and released by Brenda Lee in 1972, Elvis in 1972 (more a commercial success than Lee), and 10 years later, the Grammy Winner Version by Willie Nelson. The Pet Shop Boys recorded it in 1987.
They definitely need to listen to the Pet Shop Boys take - it's awesome.
Originally written by Mark James who also wrote "Suspicious Minds" for Elvis and "Hooked on a Feeling".
Pet Shop Boys had the bigger hit.
The Pogues 'Fairytale of New York' was denied the 1987 UK Christmas #1 by the Pet Shop Boys version of this song.
Covered by Fantasia in the late 1990s.
“Can’t Help Falling in Love” is still my favorite!!🤘🔥
Talking about covers.
Try UB40 doing this song
@@hals.1844 That is a wonderful story!
@@hals.1844Congrats on 50 years with your beautiful bride.
Agree. And the cut from Kacey Musgraves for the Elvis movie is amazing. Would like to see a reaction on it. The video is so well done.
Elvis recorded this version exactly one month after his separation from Priscilla became legal.
I believe he loved Priscilla up until the day he died, I think he sings this so beautifully because he’s singing to her
It's all about Priscilla
No he was dating his new fiancé before he went into the restroom and passed away. But yes, he did write that song about Priscilla P.
She obviously didn't fully love him. Otherwise she wouldn't have taken his kid away and broke his heart. The b!tch is last one standing anyhow.. Hope shes enjoying it....
Whether it's Elvis or Willie singing, this song always brings a tear to my eye and puts a lump in my throat. Thanks for sharing, Jay and Amber.
James, I agree! Blessings. 🙏
SAME!!! Hard to get through it - I keep thinkin': it'll be over in a minute.... ❤
Pet shop boys did a good rendition too
Fantasia has a beautiful cover of this song.
Elvis, obviously, is the one of a king, I mean kind, but, and this is quite exceptional for me, but I would go with the Willie Nelson version on this one.
I loved this reaction so much. There will never be another Elvis and no matter how many years go by I still feel heartbroken he's not with us.
yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
I agree, there will never be another Elvis! But we have the Dutch Elvis, search for “Bouke and the Elvis Matters band”, he is amazing! Saw him live yesterday.
For me, this version of this song is head and shoulders better than anyone else's, Elvis's voice suits this song soooooooo well
No question of that. Elvis did it best
❤❤❤ no one can do this as good as Elvis
Amen!
Willie
@@RobertoSantana61 not even Willie.
This was Elvis's life
Elvis’ cover of Bridge Over Troubled Water is out of this world!!
Especially the 1970 version from ttwii
If I remember correctly, Elvis recorded this at the same time he was getting divorced from Priscilla.
He also recorded Separate Ways (another song you should hear) at the same time. Separate Ways was written by Elvis' high school friend and later body guard Red West.
Elvis recorded his version of this song in March of 1972 just a few weeks after his separation from his wife Priscilla, which is why his version is really personal and heartfelt by him.
Its such a true song for Elvis and Priscilla. He never stopped sleeping with other women even when they were married. He didn't do her right but apparently he did love her very much.
Beaulieu knew what she was getting into when she first met Elvis at age 14. After all, Elvis had a longtime girlfriend back home in the US, Anita Wood (1957-1962), yet spent time with several German frauleins in spite of that. Little "innocent" Beaulieu did not mind being another girl he cheated on his girlfriend with.
Elvis returned to the US on March 1, 1960, while Beaulieu and her family remained in Germany. There she terrorized her mother and stepfather because she had only recently found out he was not her biological father. She went on a hunger strike, skipped school, and pretty much played Elvis and Mr. and Mrs. Beaulieu against each other. She told untruths about her home situation begging Elvis to save her by letting her come over and she made family life in Germany for her parents and half-siblings hell.
It was little “innocent” Beaulieu who pursued Elvis, sending him risqué photos of herself (condoned/facilitated by her parents!). In a 1973 interview with Ladies Home Journal, Beaulieu is quoted saying that her mother, Ann Iversen, said that knowing Elvis was “an opportunity of a lifetime”. Her mother and stepfather played a questionable role in the development of Beaulieu's long-distance "affair" with Elvis that reeks of ulterior motives. If they'd really been worried or incensed and believed that all the initiative came from Presley, they could have stopped it right then and there. Yet, they didn't; they played along. They first allowed her to visit Elvis in the US when she was 16. More than a year passed until her next visit at 17.
Beaulieu did not move to Memphis until she was close to 18 when she moved in with Elvis' father Vernon and stepmother Dee. It is total nonsense that many claim that she "lived with Elvis since she was 14".
BEAULIEU AND ELVIS WEREN'T EVEN ON THE SAME CONTINENT FOR THE BETTER PART OF 3 YEARS.
During the years before their marriage, Elvis was away from Memphis a lot, making 3 movies a year in Hollywood or locations such as Hawaii. And during all these years he was also having multiple affairs with co-stars. Beaulieu knew this and could have left then, since they were not married yet, but of course, she stayed because the goal was to become Mrs. Presley.
According to Beaulieu, Elvis had promised to marry her when she was 21. But as her birthday had come and gone and her 22nd birthday was approaching and Elvis still had not kept his word, Beaulieu, her parents, and the colonel (Tom Parker) visited Elvis on a movie set. The most logical thing that happened is that a threat was made that they would go public about Elvis "dating" a minor while in his twenties if he would not keep his promise to marry her. After all: Jerry Lee Lewis had gone through a scandal that people might be reminded of if the Beaulieus had gone public: Jerry Lee Lewis had married his 13-year-old cousin!
After the visit of the Beaulieus and Parker to the movie set, everything escalated and a quick wedding ceremony was arranged on May 1, 1967 (23 days before Beaulieu's 22nd birthday) in Las Vegas.
The whole ceremony took just 8 minutes and afterward, followed by a press conference (listen to what the Memphis mafia guys say about them getting married at the 24:33 mark of th-cam.com/video/p8blOqK90PM/w-d-xo.html). You can hear what Elvis told about the wedding in the recording of the last phone conversation Red West had with him before he died "That wedding thing, that wedding thing. It was in there over and done with so quick. I didn't realize I was married." (th-cam.com/video/p8blOqK90PM/w-d-xo.html).
Beaulieu soon became pregnant, but soon Elvis already wanted to divorce her. 9 months after the wedding, daughter Lisa Marie was born. Beaulieu and Elvis effectively lived their lives apart as early as 6 weeks after Lisa was born when Beaulieu began an affair with her dance instructor.
During the taping of the 1968 Singer Special (later redubbed the 1968 Comeback Special) Elvis had an affair with Susan Henning, while Beaulieu attended some of the tapings with her lover (the dance instructor).
By 1969, after Elvis had finished his movie contracts and had begun not only his residency at The International Hotel in Las Vegas, but also his touring around the USA, he was away from Memphis an average of 150 - 200 days a year.
Elvis bought a new mansion for his family, at 144 Monovale Drive in Holmby Hills/California which became Beaulieu's residence while Elvis - in between tours - preferred to stay at his Hillcrest Rd, Beverly Hills house.
Effectively their marriage was over in 1969 and they increasingly lived separate lives. They did try to get back closer together in 1970, for the sake of Lisa Marie, but that failed. Christmas 1970 was all but peaceful and festive and ended with Elvis angrily leaving Graceland for several days. By then, Beaulieu had already started taking karate lessons at Ed Parker's karate studio and subsequently met Mike Stone, whom she'd first seen during a karate tournament in 1968, and soon began an affair with him.
By late 1971, Beaulieu and Stone (who had left his wife, pregnant with their second child) shared an apartment together in Belmont Shore and gossip rags were beginning to pick up on the break-up between Beaulieu and Elvis.
The separation really was effective as of shortly before Elvis' 37th birthday, January 8, 1972. Elvis was livid and he moved on: started dating Linda Thompson in the summer of 1972.
In August of 1972 a property settlement agreement was filed and he filed for divorce ON HIS 38TH BIRTHDAY, Jan. 8, 1973. The divorce was finalized on Oct. 9, 1973, FIFTY YEARS AGO THIS YEAR. Elvis had his attorneys add a special clause to their divorce decree stating she was not to use the name Presley for a career.
In interviews between the divorce and Elvis' death, Beaulieu described him pretty much as a has-been loser, absent/bad father and husband and adamantly stated she wanted to be known as Priscilla Beaulieu, to be her own person and that she was not Elvis Presley's property. In a 1973 interview with Ladies Home Journal she literally stated that there was "no possibility of a reconciliation with Elvis".
After his death she claimed that they had agreed to get back together when he was 50 and she was 40 and that he was the love of her life. She also started claiming that she and Elvis remained friends until his death. That was another lie; just listen to what his cousin Billy Smith tells about that, or what his dad, Vernon, wrote about that in a letter that has been made public.
Elvis did not mention this opportunist in his will AT ALL. Not as his ex-spouse, not as the mother/guardian of his only child Lisa Marie and certainly not by name.
After the divorce, and after Mike Stone, Beaulieu had (live-in) relationships with Mike Edwards, Robert Kardashian, Terry O'Neill, Elie Ezerzer and Kirk Kerkorian. In 1984 she met Marco Garibaldi with whom she had a relationship for 21 years. They separated in 2006. Together they had a son, Navarone, in 1987. She never married Garibaldi, although she had a much longer relationship with him than she'd had with Elvis.
It is extremely unfortunate that people believe all the fantasy tales Beaulieu tells. They gloss over the tons of inconsistencies that have arisen as time moved on and Beaulieu started changing her narrative, often contradicting supposed facts she told earlier. She's as glib as a used car salesperson because she can spin yarns like nobody, making those gullible people even believe her excuses for those contradictions.
If you really believe Beaulieu and her family would have acted the same way and would have been equally tolerant of his behavior (extramarital affairs etc) if Elvis had remained a truck driver learning to be an electrician, you are beyond naive. The Beaulieus had dollar signs in their eyes when they pimped out their rebellious (step)daughter.
Priscilla says he sang this to here when they agreed to divorce
@@mellycookAnother fairytale story by Pricilla
They had been together a long time, from when she was 14. The dirty fecker!
Elvis takes this song to a whole another level that Willie can not touch.
Have you heard Fantasia's version? Considering her young age when she recorded it, I'm blown away by the soul she brings to it.
@@blackblake3658 I have not heard it. Although Elvis is my all-time favorite singer the Pet Shop Boys do my favorite version of the ones I have heard.
Rip To The King Of Rock n' Roll Elvis Presley, Still Miss You, Always 😢
His wife left him, and that sense of loss and regret definitely pervades the song.
Nobody could sing a love song like Elvis ❤
Elvis can sing anything. Great Gospel singer.
Love this classic performed by Elvis❤❤😊willies is ok, but I still prefer Elvis’ take. 😊
Respect to Willie Nelson but there can be only one King!
agreed!
Elvis, obviously, is the one of a king, I mean kind, but, and this is quite exceptional for me, but I would go with the Willie Nelson version on this one.
I love Amber's facial expressions, especially when it's a romantic song like this one.
A real sweetheart.
I love watching these not only for music but this really great couple (lovin' Amber!)
I almost always get tears seeing Amber's emotions
Priscilla was such a stunner ❤❤ RIP Elvis and Lisa Marie. And Lisa's son. 😢 Sheesh.
😓
Elvis made every cover his. Nobody can ever compete with the King.❤❤❤
So beautiful and poignant at the same time. Elvis is a champion and the songs were from his heart. 😢
YESSSSS, the king 🤴 🙌 👏 love this song, his voice is so recognizable. 💯💯💯
Elvis will always be the king ❤
Still and always !!!!!
There is a reason why he is KING.
RIP Elvis and Lisa Marie 🙏
Elvis is the original. Elvis’ version hits me emotionally because his marriage was crumbling, and you can hear the heartbreak in his voice. His will always be my favorite.
Gwen McCray released her version March 28, 1972, Elvis recorded his version the day after and released it in October.
Brenda Lee released her version in June. So Elvis was actually the third to release the song that year.
Mark Janes who wrote Elvis’s final no. 1 song Suspicious Minds, co-wrote this song.
Brenda Lee was the first to record the song, but Gwen McCrae released it first (as "You Were Always On My Mind") in March 1972. Brenda's "Always On My Mind" was released in June, and then Elvis in October.
This story reminds me of the song "How Do I Live" uproar with LeAnn Rimes and Trisha Yearwood. The song was part of the "Con Air" movie soundtrack. LeAnn version was turned down, Trisha's was selected and released in May 23, 1997. LeAnn's label released it on the same day.
@@Devila103 B.J. Thomas was the first to record the song in 1970 but it was not released until 1996.
@@Noel-ji8nmBJ was not first to record, this was hard to remove internet misinformation with circular sourcing. I tracked the “source” down to a question someone posed, someone else repeated the question without the question mark, and voila, misinformation.
The man who could sing anything. Man I miss him. He died as I turned 18 years old 2 weeks later. Long live the king!
Love hearing Elvis singing these song. He had so many ballards that I loved him sing..❤❤❤
I agree. I think he may have sung more ballads than R&R and R&B.
Make sure to add Elvis's "Blue Christmas" sometime in December. One of my favorite Christmas carols.
I watch and listen to the king everyday. Good night Graceland. Yall stay well and groovy my friends. Texas
I’m sorry but THIS version is the best because of what’s behind his singing. You can feel his sorrow, pain, and regret because this was during his ending marriage w/ Priscilla. ❤️
Thank you for this.
The best for you. I prefer Fantasia and Willie's versions.
LOVE THEM ALL.... BUT ELVIS WAS THE EMOTIONS WHERE IN IT
AND VOCALS❤
@@blackblake3658ewww
This is one of my favourite Elvis songs. There is a Live version, which is Elvis either rehearsing it or recording it ….. if you possibly can, it’s always best to go with either Live Concert performance or Rehearsal, which are always very good & usually lots of fun, as you get to see Elvis as a person, rather than Elvis as a stage persona …. The two are always different. For example, Elvis off-stage had a rather shy, introvert personality, while on-stage he was the total opposite, & that was his stage persona. He always got very nervous before his concerts, & would sing gospel with his father & backup singers, or his bodyguards & friends would joke around with him, to help keep him calm. But the moment he went on stage, the extrovert persona emerged & he always looked so confident & so comfortable on that stage. He found interviews horrific to do, because of his shyness, but he handled them very well, deflecting questions he knew it would be better not to answer, & he was always so polite & respectful of the media, who loved him. You might enjoy doing some Reactions to his interviews & rehearsals, & certain documentaries, such as Elvis and The Black Community Part One: The Echo Will Never Die …. A number of reactors have done that, & it is a way for reactors to find out how Elvis began his career, because Elvis broke down racial barriers in the South, which practised strict segregation, & he took Black music to White audiences by creating a fusion of Rhythm & Blues, Black Gospel, & Country (also known back then as Rockabilly). Elvis, as a 19 year old teenager, had a very rough go of it, with older White people publicly hating him, burning & hanging effigies of him, White radio stations refusing to play his records. It truly was the stuff nightmares are made of, & aimed at a teenager who just wanted to enjoy music. Elvis was the first White singer to dance about on stage, while playing guitar & singing. All other White singers stood still. People were outraged by that, but young people loved it, & in refusing to change the way he did things, Elvis opened up a new freedom of expression for all future singers, but he suffered for it.
Absolutely love this song. Only The King can do it true justice.
The Pet Shop Boys have a really fun dance/club version of this song that was a big hit in 1988. It's a great song and is highly, highly recommended for your music channel. (Willie Nelson's version came out in 1982). Fun fact: Elvis' wife was Priscilla Presley who costarred with Leslie Nielson in "The Naked Gun" series.
Such a big song in my life. Softly As I Leave You by Elvis will honestly have you both in tears. You have been warned. ❤
Sherrill Nielsen does the lion's share of the singing except at the very end when they combine their voices, Elvis speaks throughout the thing,
I had a huge crush on Elvis and this was one of my favourite songs he did, I was 13 at the time, brings back so many memories
The great thing about Elvis, is that he could sing just about any style of music and it would sound fantastic!
Everyone with a heart and who had a relationship feels this song. It's eternal.
Such an amazing voice with so many songs of tremendous quality or humor or even sadness.
this will always be my fave version of this! ♥
The feeling/soul in Elvis voice is just something else, great reaction
R.I.P Lisa Marie...❤..
Priscilla was a stunner.
Love when you guys do the King!! An INCREDIBLE cover he did was "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" . "Just Pretend" and "What Now My Love" are beautiful ones y'all should look in to also :)
Yes, but the live versions!!
Bridge over troubled waters is my favorite by Elvis. So good. Live 74
The King did alot of covers and most are the bomb!
I love both Willie Nelson and Elvis' versions of this song!! It's so touching to see he and Priscilla and Lisa Marie (RIP) in happier times! Tom Jones was in one of those video clips (they were good friend). The Pet Shop Boys did a pretty good version of this song in the eighties too. 💖💖
absolutely magnificent! WOW!! ❤
Imagine seeing him live ,I did at 12 years old in 77 3 months before he passed great show you've never herd screaming at a concert like his it was surreal
Elvis' version was the first commercially successful version.
You should react to Elvis singing, "How Great Thou Art". It's unbelievable.
Elvis Presley can make you cry.. not even trying.
Jay & Amber, you'll love his "All Shook Up" and "Are You Lonesome Tonight"!!!
edit- Brenda Lee did the original recorded version "Always On My Mind", but only reached #45 on the US Country chart. You'll love Brenda Lee's "I'm Sorry" #1 hit. (1960).
The original recorded version was BJ Tomas then Brenda Lee!
BJ released his version two years earlier in 1970.
Gwen McCrea released her version in 1972 followed by Brenda Lee a few months later, although Brenda recorded hers earlier. Elvis released his version later in 72.
Elvis version of this song just gets to me every time. I feel like you can hear the sadness the emotion in his voice of a man who’s lost the woman he loves to his own neglect of her and that he truly regrets it and wishes he could go back but knows he can’t so he tells her he’s sorry and lists the things he should have did. Some people say that he sang this because of his divorce with Priscilla. I don’t know if that’s true or not but he sure sings his heart out on this one, it seems like he’s digging down deep and it’s personal. Whether it is or not it’s a warning song for every person in a relationship to stop and look at their relationship right now and see if there’s anything they should be doing or saying to show their spouse that they love them, appreciate them and that they mean everything to them. This is a tear jerker of a song when I stop and think about my own marriage of 32 years. You can’t help but hear this song and immediately think of the last fight you just had with your spouse and think that was so trivial and why did I get so upset over that and I need to go and apologize even if the fight is long over and forgotten already. It’s that kind of song and Elvis does this song better than anyone else in my opinion. The arrangement is nice, his voice is always great, his gospel quartet I believe The Jordanaires backing him up are amazing and just the emotion he puts into it an awesome song! Pass me the Kleenex!❤
He's got great Christmas music too!
Elvis voice is so unique one of kind love his music it takes a song and make it his own love him a human being
The King! You need to listen to Elvis sing "What Now My Love" from his Aloha from Hawaii Concert (1973, I believe) . That whole concert was amazing. He also performed the American Trilogy... it was beautiful. Love your work and thanks for the entertainment. My wife and I grew up in the 60's, 70's, etc. Yes I remember partying to AC DC during my college years! They rocked but Elvis will always be "The King !"
A great reaction guys. Elvis sang it in 1972 and Wllie recorded it 10 years later in 82. I love both, but I go with Elvis's version more!
Would love to see you react to any live version from Aloha from Hawaii. Suspicious Minds, American Trilogy, etc. All amazing ❤
Elvis was such a great artist. My favorite song by him was suspicious minds.
Priscilla was at one of his concerts after the divorce. When this song started, he mouthed the words "for you" to her.
Rob Squad, Memories destroys this. Makes angels weep
Thank you for having a Cover Song Day & and thanks to all who suggested it. I have playlists devoted to my favorite covers. If I hear a song & love it, especially the lyrics - I will search for other artists particularly in other music genres who covered it. Many times it is an new interpretation. An example is the beautiful TLC song "Waterfalls" covered by the equally great Bette Midler. Bette simgs the song from the mother's point of view & it is heartbreaking.
What? Bette Midler singing my favorite TLC song. Thank you so much for this golden nugget. I have to rush off and find it
Earth Wind and Fire's Got to Get You Into My Life is the only Beatles' cover better than the original.
Amber would probably get emotional if y'all did "Don't Cry Daddy". Such a powerful song!!!!!!! Love your reactions! Have a great day!!
This was so nice to hear a Elvis song. I got back from a trip last week to Memphis & while I was there I went to Graceland! If you’re ever go to Memphis you must go to Graceland!!!
This and Willie's were both covers, it was first recorded by, Brenda Lee, but it was first released by, Gwen McCrae as "You Were Always On My Mind" in March 1972, followed by Brenda Lee's version in June the same year.
Elvis had the ability to convey the emotions and not just sing the words. He sang from his soul, and his voice had a magical quality, sprinkled with stardust . He was a one-off, god-gifted, and will forever be in our hearts and never be forgotten .
No comparison,Elvis is on a different planet ❤❤❤
wish i could give u both a hug,life is up and down but we are here!
I've only ever heard Elvis' version & only ever want to ❤
Awesome reaction i will love and miss my friend Elvis always. We met 10 years before his death i have to make it plain because some people doubt the time frame i really don't care what anyone thinks keyboard warrior's are just jealous we were just friends we both needed a friend and we were that for each other. His death knocked the wind out of me and the funeral broke my heart and soul. People ask me to post memories of my friend some love them and some comment hurtful and hateful things. So i will just keep them all to myself they are tucked safe in my heart forever. If you need to post hateful or nasty things save it because i do not care. love to you and your family from the one and only Memphis Tn.
Amber, the word you were looking for is vibrato. 😊 The song Always On My Mind is such a classic and has crossed many genres. The song was initially recorded by Brenda Lee but it was first released as a record by Gwen McRae in 1972. Later that same year, Elvis released this version, and it hit the US country charts and the UK top 10. It wasn’t until 10 years later that Willie Nelson released his famous version, which I believe is the most iconic. But the Pet Shop Boys also issued their own version of it in 1987 which is really worth a listen if you haven’t heard it already.
IVE MET PRISCILLA IN 80'S. SHE CAME INTO A HIGH END CLOTHING STORE I WORKED AT. SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL❤
ELVIS MET HER WHEN IN ARMY...SHE WAS 15!!! HE TOOK "GUARDIANSHIP" OF HER TILL SHE WAS 18, THEN MARRIED. HE HAD HER, LIKE HIM, DYE HIS HAIR BLACK IN MEMORY OF HIS MOTHER (BIT WEIRD)❤❤❤❤❤❤
The Pet Shop Boys also covered this song. It reached the top 10 in the US and #1 in the UK.
"Always on My Mind" is a ballad written by Wayne Carson, Johnny Christopher, and Mark James, first recorded by Brenda Lee, and first released by Gwen McCrae (as "You Were Always on My Mind") in March 1972. Lee's version was released three months later in June 1972.
Love your t-shirt, Jay! I know it’s about a gym, but where I grew up in Arkansas, we were the Mountain Home Bombers! We even have a jet in front of the high school painted with MHHS Bombers!!! Great place to grow up and be so proud of!! And Elvis was absolutely amazing!! Thanks for the great reaction from both of you! God bless y’all and y’all’s family!!!❤
I will always associate this song with Elvis. 🥰
As you watch the footage of family pictures unfold in the video, there is a melancholy feeling reminding us of the loss of his daughter, Lisa Marie, from earlier this year. Yet, in that loss, something beautiful was left behind. Memories.
Elvis sings the song MEMORIES on his 68 Comeback Special after sitting in the round with his fans. It is a poignant gift from the past.
Secondly, Lisa Marie cut a record of her singing with her father, the way Natalie Cole did with her father, Nat Cole, to honor his life.
"I LOVE YOU, BECAUSE." is the song she chose to honor him and reveal the broken heart that still misses her daddy. A bond that is both profound and true. She gives him the lead to remind us how great a singer is before joining him on the gentle hallmark to express how much she still misses him. They finish the song strong, united, and together, which is where they are now. The tribute is honest and true.
Both were troubled souls in their time here on this earth. Elvis, as we all know, was never quite the same after losing his mother, Gladys. Lisa Marie was never able to come to terms with the enormous legacy of being the only child of the legendary performer and his worldwide audience. May they both rest in peace.
LOVE ME,
RECONSIDER BABY, &
(YOU'RE SO SQUARE) BABY,
I DON'T CARE should give us some Elvis to remember. Enjoy
I never comment but I've been a subscriber for about two years. I just wanna say I'm 69 years old and I love you guys like family!
Their are several awesome covers, but Elvis is the gold standard.
One of my favourite songs from Elvis ❤❤❤
At the end of the song...that picture of Elvis and Priscilla was them walking together out of the courthouse when they got divorced. They were together but miles apart in many ways...so this song was meaningful. They seperated in 1972 and divorced in October, 1973.
Thank you. But there again Elvis is the best!!!
The sentiment behind this song is one that I believe everyone who's ever been in a relationship of trust and love for a significant other has felt at least on some level no matter how inconsequential or perhaps profound. Willie won a Grammy for his release but Elvis put his Presley spin on it and although I love both releases I see Willie's as more of a smokey bar room rendition and Elvis's production as something more of a music hall production..... great reaction and as a side note the Pet Shop Boys actually had a version they released and charted with as well.
Elvis' came out in 1972 and Willie's came out in 1982. But it was a cover for Elvis too. Brenda Lee sang it and another woman also. (Can't remember her name)
My favourite Elvis Presley song is “Without Him”.
Ok now you are ready for EP Just Pretend live 1970 his voice passion look and talking with the fans , nothing ever like it.
This is just a great song. 💙
You should listen to more Elvis's gospel music. He was definitely one of a kind.
We are weeping a bit here. Thanks.
You would have to be blind not to see that he did love her regardless of who's side you're on.❤
Elvis, Willie Nelson, and even the Pet Shop Boys have done this song. It’d be great if you reacted to all of them.
IT WAS SAID BY HIS BAND MEMBER WHEN HE FINISHED RECORDING THIS HE WENT IN A ROOM AND LISTENED TO IT OVER AND OVER ALMOST TWO HOURS SHAKING HIS HEAD.. THAT HE WILL ALWAYS LOVE PRISCILLA. THAT INFO CAME FROM A PERSONAL FRIEND ❤ HE AND HER ALWAYS TALKED AND LOVED EACH OTHER❤
I love Willie, but when Elvis takes a song, he makes it his own. He even did it with Sinatra's 'My Way,' which is why Elvis is ELVIS! Love you, two!!!
This is one of my favorite Elvi's songs. Another great and beautiful version is the one by the Pet Shop Boys.
Regards from Chile!
My granddaughter is an Elvis fan, literally from birth. My daughter had to get her an IPad with all her favorite songs. From a newborn, that was the only way she would go to sleep. She's 3 now and still goes to sleep to Elvis.😊😊
The man can saaang. Try some of Elvis's gospel stuff. He will take you to church. He also does a brilliant version of Bridge of Troubled Water.
HI GUYS MORE ELVIS PLEASE AND "ONE NIGHT WITH YOU" FROM THE 1968 COMEBACK TV SHOW IS ELVIS AT HIS BEST!!!
Elvis did this as his marriage was falling apart - 10 years before Willie touched it.
Guys, this one is a heartbreaker, Elvis really dedicated this to Priscilla during the divorce and sang it for real😢. RIP Legend and Thank You for your reaction.
Both versions are great. It's my understanding that Elvis and Priscilla were breaking up or had broken up and that made the song so much more emotional because he was actually going through the breakup at the time he recorded this. I also heard that Elvis told her that he would always love her after the breakup. Not certain if all that's true though. My mother was a huge Elvis fan and that's where I heard a lot about him before she passed. She sure loved "her Elvis". God bless!
Beautiful song…great to see the memories of him and Pricilla ❤️
My mom and my brothers and sisters got to see him in concert, just months before he passed away!
Jay and Amber, not sure if you heard the song “ Memories”. It’s a beautiful song!
