Elvis at his peak in the 50s - people today don't realise what he started and how big he was👑⚡⭐
Fun fact: The vest he is wearing is shimmery gold, his girlfriend at the time gave it to him as a gift. She picked out the material and pattern and took it to her friends mom to sew it for her. They were happily surprised when they saw him wearing it on TV. I never tire of seeing these back-in-the-day appearances.
Great info. Tomorrow is Elvis Sunday.
The best-looking and most-desired man who ever walked the Earth. That's not my opinion.....That's Just The Way It Is. 😄
He was an absolute natural. TV was the new medium at that time but he instinctively knew how to interact with the camera and audience. As you say, the second performance is more assured, but all the hallmark Elvis traits are already there, even in the first clip. I don't think he ever understood why we all screamed at any twitch or movement, but he was still doing it in the Aloha concert and getting a kick out of the audience's reaction so many years later. Don't be Cruel is a favourite and I've always loved the little vocal hiccups and runs he puts in. No-one like him then or since ❤
Suzi Quatro was on a programme a few years and said she watched the 1956 performance on tv and when Elvis did that ‘eye thing’ she was immediately drawn to him even though she was only six.
I was only 3 when I heard him on the radio in 1960!! Never even knew what he looked like til I saw him in a film when I was 9 and just wished I was one of those children acting with him👌💕🕺
He was born with the talent, swagger and looks. The whole package. Best ever there was
The camera loved Elvis as much as we do that beautiful face looking straight at you oh the amount of screaming in people's homes all across America, another thing to love him for he never took himself too seriously,he had it all looks, talent,humility and love for his fans all through his career god bless his beautiful soul the joy on your face Nick while watching says it all
I have to tell you this, I started out the door! Then I "holy crap" it's Elvis Sunday!!! He's so sweet and humble, love this man :)
Haha! I love that! Thank you 🙏
My goodness I felt like I was back in front of our black and white TV. Sitting on the floor! A 14 year old mesmerized by these early Elvis performances.
He was horn with the talent, swagger and looks. The whole package. Best ever there was
This was during the time cameras could only film him from the waist up! That's what the "here we go" was all about.
I'll never close any "portal" to Elvis Presley. (His fan, then, now & forever ❤)
He is so freaking adorable!!
I remember seeing these shows when I was a kid and every time since still gives me a thrill. A talented, gorgeous, humble man that I've loved all my life. My parents saw him live in Austin in 1956 and we all saw him in Austin in March 1977. He's unforgettable.
Hey Sweetie! I don't comment often - I wanted to say in Elvis' ( 45 min ) 1972 Interview with EOT - He was talking about when he was young performing He said "I look like I am having an Epileptic Fit ~~ And starting laughing!!!! I thought that was so hilarious --- Great Reaction I Love the comparison - Such a Humble man!!!!!
Haha! Love that 😅 Thank you so much! 🙏
He was filmed from the waist up! Notice no camera shots of his legs... they thought his gyrations were too wild for tv!! 😂😂 He looks stunning, oozing charisma! Don't be Cruel was a big hit for E. Nice reaction too.🎸🎶🎧🤗⚡
Total foot tapper. I’ve always loved this song❤❤
Sunday with the king 👑
Elvis always the best, beautiful generous soul
So special... even as young as he was he had so much charisma along with his amazing voice...I enjoy the journey of his music and performances so much.Thank you Nick🌻
young Elvis was an electric performer
Love Elvis. Everything about him. He was great❤ !!! Thank you!
I remember when he came on the scene. No one had seen anything like him before. He changed everything. He was so humble and his voice was so beautiful. He was so engaging and Elvis really did love his fans. I do feel sad when I think of all the people who surrounded him and many who used him. He should have been able to get the help he needed. Miss Elvis always. 💔
Aww, thank you for this. Absolutely love Baby Elvis just starting out.....even in his sweetness and rawness, you can sense the star qualities that would endear him to fans around the world. Absolutely love these performances and song.....puts a big smile on my face every time. On my daily Elvis playlist 💯⚡❤️
Элвис Великий.Он икона музыкальной индустрии Америки.Первопроходец.Три октавы диапазон голоса ,с переливами и с вибрато.Равных нет.❤
They can’t even imagine. They have no context. He built it.
Yet another great interesting double E-reaction.👍
Awesome as always he was born a legend an left a legend for always an forever thanks nick Sunday is super Sunday with you an the king 👍👑👑👍👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👍👏👏👏👏
Pure joy ❤😊
Classic song & it was a favourite of both Elvis & his mother Gladys. Elvis continued to sing this throughout his career albeit as part of a medley in later years. The version he did in the 68 Comeback Special is my all time favourite though. Nick, this was great, I loved what you did to compare these two performances just 3 months apart, makes it so interesting! 🌟🌟
Makes my heart all warm and mushy!
I send you lots of screaming and clapping 🗣️ 〰️🎶👏as a thank you!
Your Elvis sundays are always much fun!💚☀️
Ha! Thank you! 🙏
Love seeing you appreciate Elvis and note so many things that he naturally that were so spontaneous but perfect. He was always a true entertainer 👌💕🕺
INTERESTING STORY ABOUT THIS PERFORMANCE: (Did you catch him say "Mr. Laughton") On September 9, 1956, neither Elvis nor Ed Sullivan were in the studios that day for the broadcast. A month before Elvis' appearance on his show, Sullivan suffered from an almost fatal automobile crash that left him hospitalized for weeks and was unable to recover from his injuries quick enough. British actor Charles Laughton filled in for Sullivan and served as host for Presley’s debut performance. Elvis himself was not in New York City where the Sullivan show was broadcast from but was actually at Television City in Hollywood where he was in the middle of filming "Love Me Tender." And it was Laughton who introduced Elvis that night. Goes to show you never know what goes on behind the scenes. Thanks for another good start to Sunday.
Aw, beat me to it! ;-)
@@suspiciousminds1750 Isn't it interesting regarding the things we know nothing about , especially back then -- until it happens to come out later.
@@carolhayar3037 Absolutely. First read this in one of his biographies. Wondered for years who that strange sounding guy was, LOL, though I knew who Laughton was.
Oh wow, I didn’t know this at all. Very interesting indeed!
Thank you for sharing these tv performances. He was so cute. I was wondering why someone didn't show these great performances that were world changing. I never knew this until about 4 years ago someone said how they loved Elvis and i started investigating what Elvis was all about. BLEW MY MIND! What this man did and how giving he was. Ended up going to Graceland and was so wonderful. You are so wonderful showing these shows. Thank you.❤
Thank you so much! 🙏
That boy was a unique and dangerous combination of innocence, politeness, humbleness, religiousness, shiness, playfulness, self-confidence, boldness, wildness, talent, beauty, and incomparable sex appeal. It`s no wonder parents and older people had no idea where to place him. Of course, they were afraid for their innocent daughters. How could they have known that, in the beginning, Elvis was a quite innocent guy?!
Nowadays, people just can`t understand why these girls (and later on women) were screaming their lungs out when Elvis appeared on stage.
It`s important to keep in mind that in the 50s, most teenagers had no TV and not even a record player at home. Most of them knew music only from the radio.
To see a big star in person would blow away an adult`s mind.
Of course, the teenagers flipped out. It was too much happiness to hold inside such young frames :)
Truth!! 👌💕🕺
@@julialesleysheppard
🥰
Good points there! The impact he had was immeasurable 😮
@@PopularTripeNickhe must have been seen like an Alien from another planet. 👌💕🕺
I always love those little bits he add to songs, right through to the 70s. Not something you see with other artists.
Thanks for this great reaction; as usual, you have profound comments. The first performance was, of course, before they decided to film him from the waist up and the second one was after. He had that unmistakable Elvis charm and charisma in both. So fun to revisit these classic performances.❤❤❤
I really enjoy them. May look to do a few more further down the line!
Very good reaction. I like how you put it into historical context. Elvis was finding his way in a world that was changing quickly, especially with TV.
Incredible. Loved this.
For his 1957 performance he borrowed some items from Jackie Wilson. Elvis saw Jackie in Las Vegas and was blown away. He basically said that Jackie did the song much better than he did on his record. Elvis reveals all this in The Million Dollar Quartet session.
In a movie he's lip-syncing the song Return To Sender using some Jackie moves. Jackie is off-camera and Elvis is getting a kick out of it.eEvis started to pay Jackie's hospital biills when he fell into a coma in 1975. Jackie had valued a picture of himself and Elvis, and of course their friendship.
I think I’ve watched that movie scene here and people made mention of Jackie being the there that I’d completely missed the first time around.
Hello Nick, if you love Elvis when he was 23 - 24, watch the song " Crawfish" from the mouvie " King Creole" the scene is on you tube, new edit in 4K
Thank you so much for this one, loved it
Thank you! Yes I have that on the list and is probably coming up very soon!
I remember seeing these on TV. I was young but remember. I never saw a show that only showed the proformer from the waist up before. 😂😂 And can't remember ever seeing another one except for Elvis.
Hi Nick, I'm loving these double reactions with your in-depth analysis! Love also that you love Elvis as much as your audience! I know it's silly but I spent the whole video grinning like an idiot - thanks for that! Enjoy what's left of the weekend, and have an amazing week!
Thank you so much!
What are the songs from the 50s I wasn't around then but I love his songs
Heartbreak Hotel, Hound Dog, Landy Miss Clawdy, I need you. ,Are you Lonesome tonight?,All shook up, Jailhouse Rock, Mystery Train, Rock n Roll, Treat me nice, etc etc. plus 3 Platinum Albums. Plenty do listen to. 👌💕🕺
Thank you, Nick.🙏❤
I just can't watch Elvis without smiling like a fool throughout the whole performance lol. It's funny, because many have stated and we saw ourselves when he was being filmed that Elvis was nervous before he went on stage his whole career. I find that amazing, but once on the stage it went away he was at home. I do believe you are right though, in such a short period of time he did seem to be more confident, playing with how he sang the song and remaining humble as he did throughout his entire life. You mentioned him not knowing what it would be like for him in 20 years. It's good he didn't know, sadly he was nearing his death as you know. The world lost a precious gift when Elvis passed on. He did leave behind so much music for us to listen to and to love. Thank you for another great reaction!
🙏
Love the Elvis Sundays! Also love the idea of comparing his performances. You are right, he was still all Elvis but with a little more confidence. Looking forward to next video.❤
Great review, great comparisons. Nick you said it all, nothing to add (for once) other than to say Elvis had a lot more Swagger in the second performance.
Please play How great Thou Art live in 1972 and then 8 weeks before he died in June 1977. Elvis loved gospel music, this was his favourite genre. There are vids of both concerts live. Thank you.
If you check my Elvis playlist link in the video description, we watched the 77 version about 8 or so months ago. A very powerful performance, just amazing. 🙏
Thank you for this video Elvis was the best
I have that that you're showing right now on The Ed Sullivan show I have that CD set you take your neck and God bless
Just to let you know i now have you & Elvis on my large 17 inch screen anytime i want. I'm videotaping the episodes & saving them in a folder so all i have to do is click on the video & there you guys are -- & so close! That early morning sunrise from the Blue Suede Shoes compilation looks amazing on the big screen.
Oh wow, that’s amazing! 🤩
I don't know if you know this or not but Ed Sullivan did not want him on the show but Elvis got so big he had to have him on the show he also called Elvis a cuss word he called him a son of a you know what buddy ended up having Elvis on his show three times you take your Nick and God bless
Right. The way I know the story is Ed refused and then Milton Berle had him on his show and well the rest is history. Good for you Milton Berle. I'm paraphrasing, so don't quote me on any of this. He said he got a lot of hate fan mail after that bc he had him on his show and that's when he knew how big Elvis was going to be. He called Tom Parker and told him he had a star.
Please play his live version of How Great Thou Art and Precious Lord Take My Hand
I have the 1977 performance of How Great Thou Art in my playlist (link in this video description). An incredible performance!
Let me say that on the 2nd one Elvis is under heavy pressure to tame it down. If you notice he was only filmed from the waist up and the troubled look at times is due because of what he was going through at that time.
Most people think Elvis was on Ed Sullivan first but that isn't correct - Sullivan turned him down at first because of his movements and in Jan. '56 he went on The Dorsey Bros. Stage Show singing a great "Shake Rattle & Roll" youtu.be/oXiX3c|03DE&t=4 filmed head to toe. Then it was on to the W.W.Il aircraft carrier, the U.S.S. Hancock w-Milton Berle in April '56 & again on Berle's show in June '56. Both appearances showed Elvis head to toe. In July '56 he appeared on Steve Allen's show wearing a tuxedo & singing "Hound Dog" to a live hound dog, which irritated Elvis greatly but he always did what was expected of him & was nice about it. According to some information, Allen wasn't fond of the way Elvis performed & he disliked rock & roll, but Elvis brought in those ratings.
Regarding Berle & Sullivan: Berle received approx. 500,000 PAN letters because all of Elvis had been shown. And although the mail was negative, it caused Berle's ratings to top Sullivan for the 1st time, irritating Sullivan greatly which caused Sullivan to rethink his original decision of turning Elvis down, & so Sullivan then agreed to have Elvis make some appearances.
His girlfriend Anita made the vest for him.. i think. Waist up only thing was crazy.. unlike his concerts hes very controlled here but still 🔥
