Elvis is a boy from Dixieland, which refers to the Southern States, so An American Trilogy was especially poignant to him, but Elvis sings the majority of his songs with passion, emotion and energy. He puts everything he has into it.
Great Reaction, American Trilogy is a powerful song about God and Country. Elvis was born in Mississippi. He was raised up very poor and understood another song he did called "IN THE GHETTO."
"The thought is beautiful dear, and I love you for it.....I can't accept this kingship thing, because to me there's only one, which is Christ." - Elvis, to a fan.
@@757optim Yes I know what he said. I'm talking about the fans choice of calling him by the name which is only a name created by and given meaning by men. To me a name is irrelevant. He was an exceptional person and talent. Vicki
By far Elvis new who the real king was I'm sure he has taught a few of us who the real king is,he was very very spiritual!!! But for music he came from nothing and pretty much on his own made it to the KING of rock and roll he insisted on his perfection in his music and made the audience feel him and his music, for ever a fan!!!♥️♥️
@TLM If you think I would take the time to read all that you are delusional. KING OF THE STAGE AND MUSIC. Preach to someone else. Jesus has alot bigger concerns in this world I'm certain than Elvis Presley being called the KING OF ROCK AND ROLL. Vicki
The man was birne tupelo Mississippi, moved ro gracland Memphis Tennessee where he died but he did live an incredible short life. Long live the king Elvis Presley .
This concert was the first ever to go worldwide via satellite and the proceeds from it went to the restoration of the Perl Harbour memorial Bridge in Hawaii !
Dixie is the South, not one particular state. And Elvis was born and grew up until his teens in Tupelo, Mississippi. Then his family moved to goverment housing in Memphis, Tennessee to find work.
Yup, Dixieland's south of the Mason-Dixon line. The term was originated in New Orleans right before the Civil War. The original meaning referred to Dix, which equated to a fraction of the French currency of that time.
He was always in the Zone for sure. Just Elvis being Elvis. I wish I was lucky enough to see him but was 14 when he passed. The American Trilogy is and has always been my favourite song he did. Keep Resting Mr. Presley ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
hi awesome reaction of elvis . Elvis was born in Mississippi moved to Menphis when he was 12 and bought GRACELAND lived in it till he died in 1977, Which is the most visited house under the white house . thanks again for a great reaction do more elvis
Thank you guys appreciate for listening from our king,when you ready Elvis Bob Joyce Presley,thank you for staying alive America miss you all this years😭✌️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Dixie land is the Southern part of America and Elvis as we all know was born in the south. This is were Southern charm was born!!! God bless America as he bless us with the son of America Elvis the great!!
I have said it many times. Elvis was not the King of Rock and Roll. He was the God of Music. Elvis mastered so many genres that calling him King of one genre would be to minimize his contribution to others such as gospel, rockabilly, pop, country, R&B, etc. Kings reside on Earth anyway. Elvis Presley was quite simply the God of Music. The most iconic and influential entertainer of the 20th century and any other century that follows. With over a billion records sold, his influence continues to rise with every generation. I was 12 when he died. I don't remember him much, but I do remember the country standing still the day he died.
1:56 That that low voice is the true bass singer JD Southern. The guy was absolutely amazing but then again so is everybody else in his band and Orchestra and backing vocal groups. He had the best bands and they work so hard together and they had fun together and fucked with each other a lot. And they just became so good and so tight.
You just witnessed THE GREATEST ENTERTAINER THIS WORLD WILL EVER SEE! No auto-tune, no pitch correction just pure PERFECTION! Elvis had power, passion and emotion in every word you can feel him sing. Elvis walked on stage and he owned it, he could sing the phone book and make it sound great. \the King had it all the voice the moves the looks the charisma like no other and the thing that mattered to him most was his fans he loved his fans. LONG LIVE THE KING A GIDT TO US ALL FROM GOD HIMSELF.
Elvis loved America, and as a musician and singer from the South, he was very sensitive to American issues which impacted the South and all of America. In his masterpiece, American Trilogy, Elvis addressed the tragedy of The American Civil WAR : a war which pitted American against American, in a 5-year bloodbath, that ripped our Nation apart. This brilliant song is constructed from extracts of three separate standards, each of which remains some of the best and most loved pieces of American music : 1) The Battle Hymn of the Union 2) The Battle Hymn oft the Confederacy ("Dixieland") 3) All My Trials. (Gibson, Baez releases) Elvis' song weights equally it's tribute to the two battle hymns, and it thereby weights equally each side's cause, as well as each side's resolve. The created tension directly mirrors the actual tension between the two Nations, the sole resolution of which could only be what it was. The fate of so so many Americans was sealed : men, boys, are slaughtered by the thousands. Brothers, husbands, fathers, sons - all marching off to their deaths. Subsequently in Elvis' song, the variation of "All My Trials" is of a young soldier, telling his little baby not to cry because - as fate dictates - her "daddy is bound to die." And he does so, in the bloodiest and most costly of all American conflicts : the American Civil War (note: more Americans were killed in The Civil War than were killed in World War I, World War II, The Korean War and The Vietnam War all combined ! )
Dixie (also known as Dixieland) is a nickname for the Southern United States. Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee with his family when he was 13 years old. The estate in Memphis, TN that was his home is Graceland. This song gives me chills every time !!
Thank you! I knew it was the south but wasn’t sure if it was just one particular place. And also, I completely blanked on Graceland but remembered right when we stopped recording 🤦🏻♂️ - kloquewerk
The word Dixie comes from the imaginary line drawn to separate the North from the South during the Civil War. The line is called Mason Dixon.Everything south of it is the South known as Dixie.
Guys, Thanks for playing The American Trilogy. It would be good to get some background on Elvis. The video HE TOUCHED ME THE GOSPEL MUSIC of ELVIS PRESLEY. He sang 5 types of music. Unbelievable! Amazing man and a voice that will be loved throughout the ages.
Born in Tupelo, Mississippi Dixieland / Dixie is the South USA I LOVE This song!!!!!!!! KING!!!!!!!!!! Elvis didn't die in 73 He passed away August 16, 1977 42 Yrs Old.... RIP ELVIS WE MISS YOU RIP BENJAMIN YOUR WITH YOUR GRANDFATHER NOW SWEET BOY 💔💔
The low voice you mentioned is J.D. Sumner. He tells the story about Elvis as a kid coming to a weekly Saturday night gospel singing in Memphis to hear his group (The Stamps) among others. One week, Elvis missed the show. The next week when Elvis showed back up, J.D. asked him why he missed the previous week. Elvis said it was becasue he didn't have enough money to buy a ticket. So, J.D. told Elvis, from now on, just come to the stage door and he would let Elvis in for free. J.D. would joke that it was the arrangement they had until before long Elvis was letting J.D. in to the stage door because he didn't have enough money to buy a ticket to see Elvis. :)
The 3 songs in this are Dixieland which is the South. The Battle Hymn of the Republic was the Union marching song from the North & the last was a Bahamian lullaby which the slaves used to sing also. It’s to try and unite what happened during the Civil War. The combination is beautiful. By the way, he was born in Tupelo, Mississippi & later moved to Memphis, Tennessee. His estate is called Graceland. It’s the second most visited house in the USA after the White House. Thanks guys for this reaction video. Keep the faith & stay healthy.
The song is by stephen foster written while he was somewhere up North and he wrote 'Dixie'(not dixieland, just Dixie) because he was missing home. We love our Southland here in Dixie. Nickname for south because the states fall south of the Mason-Dixon line established by surveyors once upon a time in America. Why it was surveyed who know. But two of them were mr mason and mr dixon...thus the name of the arbitrary surveyed line...lol...thus the nickname 'Dixie' for the South.
@@jcphan2191 Thanks for the info. Very informative and interesting. As you can tell I’m from the North but live in the South for many years. We now these days get along, happy to say. 👍🏻😂🌹🌹🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️
Elvis was very passionate about his music, he felt it all. Which is why he "wiggled" when he was young! Also, he was a deeply religious man. The GOAT for sure.
Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo MS. His birthday January 8 1935. Elvis died at his home at GRACELAND Memphis Tn. YES he had a twin brother that died at birth. Elvis died August 16 1977. He was 42 when he died of a heart attack. He has one daughter her name is Lisa Marie. Elvis Loved Gospel Music. Look him up on ytube . Elvis Aaron Presley was drafted in the United States Army. He was there 2 years he had became a Sargent in the Army.. There will NEVER be anyone like him he could sing other peoples songs and sing them and he would sound so much better . He Loves Live Performance's. That is where he did his BEST WORK AT...Elvis could sing ANY KIND OF MUSIC THERE IS NOTHING HE COULDN'T SING..Elvis was a very Humble Man he never forgot where he come from.
The Union of North, South and Black America, united in the blood of almost one American lives during the American Crucifixion:1861-1865. Elvis felt this history.
the back view of Elvis at the end "with this concert being live around the world" was his way of showing the American Eagle on his back and his way of saying I'm a patriot. that costume was known as the American Eagle costume. xx
Love how he defers to the other artists on stage, backup singers and musicians. He was truly a great person. He turns his back and becomes part of the audience to appreciate the talent of those other performers. Sweet.
I'm sure somebody is already commented. And I'm not an Aficionado but I do live in Tennessee. Dixieland is typically Tennessee and south... As far as where the King is from, Tupelo, Mississippi. Graceland, which is in Memphis, was bought for his mother. If anybody ever gets a chance to go to Graceland you can't miss it! Most amazing thing ever if you're an Elvis fan!
Presley was a creator. A genius in music. Not only a singer. But an original. Here we see him literally driving the entire orchestra. He is singing but also producing the music and orchestration at the same time. From 6:35 he turns himself to the orchestra and literally sings and conduct the rest of the music with the tempo and instruments entries as he wants 6:50 and make just a masterpiece. Just BRUTAL.
I love all of Elvis's music but American Trilogy is my husband's favorite Elvis song. I grew up listening to his gospel music and I love how Elvis could make you really feel the song, no matter what he sang, you could feel the emotion that came from each song. There's just something really special about his voice that we will never hear again. Thank God we still have Elvis's music to listen to, his fan's will pass his legacy on....
This is 3 songs merged into one performance, " Dixie " representing the South, " All my trials " which is what used to be called a " negro spiritual " ( no offence intended ) and " Battle Hymn of the Republic ", a Unionist Civil War anthem ... Elvis loved the bringing together of three songs from very different strands of America, and unifying them !! As a matter of interest, the guy playing the Flute solo was Gabe Baltazar, a very distinguished Jazz Sax and Woodwind player ....
"All my Trials" is not a Negro Spiritual, as you put it! ..It is a Folk Song from the mid 50s and 60s. It was also recorded under the names "Bahamian Lullaby" and "All my Sorrows". First released in 1956 by Bob Gibson and also recorded by Joan Baez in the 60s...It is in the American Folk Song registry..the original lyrics that Elvis sings were actually "Hush, little baby, don't you cry You know your mama was born to die All my trials, Lord, soon be over" The song tells the story of a mother on her death bed, comforting her children..
Elvis Presley was the man that Little Richard said invented rock ‘n’ roll and is the greatest individual entertainer of the 20th century. Oh by the way… Elvis Presley is alive today! Check out Pastor Bob Joyce. A small town pastor in Benton Arkansas. Listen to his voice, listen to him sing. He’s in his late to mid 80s and wearing Hollywood make up that makes him look younger. Watch for he and his former son-in-law MJ to re-emerge soon along with many other famous, and entertainers that we thought were dead. They all knew that this shit was going down in 2020 and it was a takedown of humanity. their return will help wake up humanity. You’ll find out.
Elvis sang different genres of music - blues, country, pop, gospel. He could do it all. There are SO many songs off his that most people don’t know, but are very good. “Just Pretend” is a fan favourite.
Remember, this is live, and before they could computer, adjust microphones and voices, like they can in concerts nowadays!! You didn’t hear a missed note or out of tune in any of the songs, you hear him sing, and he can change from high to low instantly! Soprano to baritone!! Incredible!!!!🇺🇸✝️
Dixieland is the South. This was first satélite livestream EVER in the world..streamed to 40 countries. still holds the record for most watched broadcast 1.5 Billion. I was one of them
I was also one of them, watching on tv at home. I was deeply impressed and went out to buy the double album of the show. Of course, I still have the LP.
This is one of his most powerful and passionate performances a great song gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it there's so much more to come from Elvis he covered so many genres of music that's why he's the Goat thank you both 😷✌👏
"Dixie" and "Battle Hymn of The Republic" are historical, and used to be sung by students in grade school music class! I am shocked to the very core that apparently these mighty and meaningful American songs are no longer being taught in elementary school!!!!!
A song about America's civil war! To secure these words " we believe these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal by their creator! Battle Hym of the Republic!🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸 Abraham Lincoln's favorite song!✌
Dixieland is the whole south. Elvis was born in Tupelo, Mississippi. His family moved to Memphis, Tenn.when Elvis was 8 or 10 years old. Where have you guys been all your lives? Elvis is very emotional.
You guys hit the nail on the head. Elvis had over 500 songs in his catalogue. I'd say at least half are better than his number one hits. Actually I should say extraordinary. If I only listened to his number ones I would have never been the huge Elvis fan that I am. I delved into his catalogue of songs and was left absolutely speachless and amazed. Most people don't know the extent of this man's talent. I'm not even of his generation. Much later and have such respect for this man. Great reaction, guys.
Very well said. His chameleon voice changed multiple times in his very short life. His soul, depth, and diversity remain unmatched. His studio recordings are critically acclaimed. Truly remarkable.
If, n ever if I met th If, n if I ever met The KING, which a lot of fans think, what would we have done to make him grater, but you know ppl ,ELViS was a gift from GOD
He was born in Tupelo Mississippi then moved to Memphis TN. HE bought Graceland for his Mom and Dad! Dixieland is not one state but Southern states. Luv him always and forever 💓 💕 💗!!!!
Appreciate the reaction. Can't nobody touch him, like it or not. He never really liked the studios....he was in his element on stage live interacting with not just fans but the general public as a whole. That's what he lived for, other than his daughter Lisa. Elvis didn't need the charts or specific songs. The dude is The GOAT. Someone prove me wrong....I'll save you the time....ya can't. Everything he did had a personal conviction and made it seem so easy and natural. He may be gone almost 45 yrs yet his impact and true talents have yet to be truly acknowledged. PEACE!
Great reaction,,, 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. 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. Great reaction loved it. love from Memphis Tn.
Wow, that’s amazing. I never met him but my family was passing through Memphis in 1977 and we stopped by Graceland. It was in the spring and his Uncle Vester Presley was manning the security gate. He said Elvis was away on tour. A few months later in August he passed away. I was so sad. What a privilege you had to get to meet him. Later as a grown up I lived in a suburb near Memphis and met people that personally knew him or dated him in high school. He was truly one of a kind and a humble, kind, and gracious human being. God Bless You 🙏❤️
Born in Tupelo, Ms. Dixieland is all of the south. This song is about bringing the North & South together after the civil war. His estate is called Graceland.
This is a powerful song! I have had the privilege of singing this song in the church choir a number of times. Can you imagine standing in front of Elvis Presley when he is singing the song? The man is the KING!!!

You're correct. Dixie just is another name for the southern region of the U.S.

The more you listenin & watch him you won't be able to stop. He sings all songs. His looks are sooooo handsome.
STILL the greatest show on earth.

Elvis Presley bridge over troubled water
i was born in GA and have lived here all of my life . i am proud to say that i am a dixie land girl .
The trilogy is the national anthem of the south. For the way we were treated after the war.
The Union's "Battle Hymn of the Republic" is part of the trilogy , and so is a slave lullaby.

the back view of Elvis at the end "with this concert being live around the world" was his way of showing the American Eagle on his back and his way of saying I'm a patriot. that costume was known as the American Eagle costume. xx
Still unbelievable that over one billion people watched this performance live. I still remeber that night.
Elvis can sing anything u throw at him.He gave us his All ❤️💕
Absolutely gave and left everything on the stage……Rob 🔒
U are so right Elvis was talent that he can sing anything.
This is why he is on of everybody as a entertainer and singer.
I'm going to ask my daughter( when she comes here) to help me send a request with Elvis .
Love how he defers to the other artists on stage, backup singers and musicians. He was truly a great person. He turns his back and becomes part of the audience to appreciate the talent of those other performers. Sweet.
I'm sure somebody is already commented. And I'm not an Aficionado but I do live in Tennessee. Dixieland is typically Tennessee and south...
As far as where the King is from, Tupelo, Mississippi. Graceland, which is in Memphis, was bought for his mother. If anybody ever gets a chance to go to Graceland you can't miss it! Most amazing thing ever if you're an Elvis fan!
Great reaction. Definitely many many more of these non radio songs that were awesome. You guys are at the rim of the rabbit hole
Presley was a creator. A genius in music. Not only a singer. But an original. Here we see him literally driving the entire orchestra. He is singing but also producing the music and orchestration at the same time. From 6:35 he turns himself to the orchestra and literally sings and conduct the rest of the music with the tempo and instruments entries as he wants 6:50 and make just a masterpiece. Just BRUTAL.
I love all of Elvis's music but American Trilogy is my husband's favorite Elvis song. I grew up listening to his gospel music and I love how Elvis could make you really feel the song, no matter what he sang, you could feel the emotion that came from each song. There's just something really special about his voice that we will never hear again. Thank God we still have Elvis's music to listen to, his fan's will pass his legacy on....
This is 3 songs merged into one performance, " Dixie " representing the South, " All my trials " which is what used to be called a " negro spiritual " ( no offence intended ) and " Battle Hymn of the Republic ", a Unionist Civil War anthem ... Elvis loved the bringing together of three songs from very different strands of America, and unifying them !! As a matter of interest, the guy playing the Flute solo was Gabe Baltazar, a very distinguished Jazz Sax and Woodwind player ....
"All my Trials" is not a Negro Spiritual, as you put it! ..It is a Folk Song from the mid 50s and 60s. It was also recorded under the names "Bahamian Lullaby" and "All my Sorrows". First released in 1956 by Bob Gibson and also recorded by Joan Baez in the 60s...It is in the American Folk Song registry..the original lyrics that Elvis sings were actually
"Hush, little baby, don't you cry
You know your mama was born to die
All my trials, Lord, soon be over"
The song tells the story of a mother on her death bed, comforting her children..
@@RJsStudio131 I get you! Like now mother America lying on her death bed. WHY AREN'T THE CHILDREN GATHERED ROUND HER?
Gabe Baltazar - Thank you! I've watched this video a hundred times and never knew his name.
Basically a history lesson
Elvis Presley was the man that Little Richard said invented rock ‘n’ roll and is the greatest individual entertainer of the 20th century. Oh by the way… Elvis Presley is alive today! Check out Pastor Bob Joyce. A small town pastor in Benton Arkansas. Listen to his voice, listen to him sing. He’s in his late to mid 80s and wearing Hollywood make up that makes him look younger. Watch for he and his former son-in-law MJ to re-emerge soon along with many other famous, and entertainers that we thought were dead. They all knew that this shit was going down in 2020 and it was a takedown of humanity. their return will help wake up humanity. You’ll find out.
Elvis sang different genres of music - blues, country, pop, gospel. He could do it all. There are SO many songs off his that most people don’t know, but are very good. “Just Pretend” is a fan favourite.
Remember, this is live, and before they could computer, adjust microphones and voices, like they can in concerts nowadays!! You didn’t hear a missed note or out of tune in any of the songs, you hear him sing, and he can change from high to low instantly! Soprano to baritone!! Incredible!!!!🇺🇸✝️
What a dramatic performance !!! This is why he's the king ! He could sing anything !!! Great reaction guys ! Thanks
Now that is why Elvis will never be forgotten… God like !!
Dixieland is the South. This was first satélite livestream EVER in the world..streamed to 40 countries. still holds the record for most watched broadcast 1.5 Billion. I was one of them
I was also one of them, watching on tv at home. I was deeply impressed and went out to buy the double album of the show. Of course, I still have the LP.
GOAT.
This is one of his most powerful and passionate performances a great song gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it there's so much more to come from Elvis he covered so many genres of music that's why he's the Goat thank you both 😷✌👏
Love your reaction...well, No one and i mean no one can come close to Elvis magnetism and charisma.its spectacular
Absolutely 💖💖💖
I have no idea how many times I’ve watched your Loretta Lynn reactions. I’ll
Always be an Elvis girl.
I definitely appreciate THE LOVE AND SUPPORT. Any suggestions or recommendations that I should react to
@@Roblockdn since u asked. Ha. Here’s a good one. Jonny Bush. ( “Green Snakes on the Ceiling”.
The guys voice is my favorite old country voice. “ Whiskey River”.
Also Johnny Bush.
"Dixie" and "Battle Hymn of The Republic" are historical, and used to be sung by students in grade school music class! I am shocked to the very core that apparently these mighty and meaningful American songs are no longer being taught in elementary school!!!!!
A song about America's civil war! To secure these words " we believe these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal by their creator! Battle Hym of the Republic!🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸 Abraham Lincoln's favorite song!✌
He owned his song while he sang it. He put a lot of feelings and emotions into every song he sang. That’s why he is the King
Dixieland is the whole south. Elvis was born in Tupelo, Mississippi. His family moved to Memphis, Tenn.when Elvis was 8 or 10 years old. Where have you guys been all your lives? Elvis is very emotional.
You guys hit the nail on the head. Elvis had over 500 songs in his catalogue. I'd say at least half are better than his number one hits. Actually I should say extraordinary. If I only listened to his number ones I would have never been the huge Elvis fan that I am. I delved into his catalogue of songs and was left absolutely speachless and amazed. Most people don't know the extent of this man's talent. I'm not even of his generation. Much later and have such respect for this man. Great reaction, guys.
Very well said.
His chameleon voice changed multiple times in his very short life.
His soul, depth, and diversity remain unmatched. His studio recordings are critically acclaimed. Truly remarkable.
just mazing elvis presley realy fantastique thank u guys..
If you don't get chill bumps with this performance....Well....You ARE DEAD!!! Nice Reaction
Dixie land is the southern states. The beauty of the land. The people, families.
Elvis was born in Tupelo, Mississippi. His family moved to Memphis, Tennessee when he was a child!
If, n ever if I met th
If, n if I ever met The KING, which a lot of fans think, what would we have done to make him grater, but you know ppl ,ELViS was a gift from GOD
Masterpiece! What is so sad is that he would pass away just 4 years later. Gone way too soon. There’ll never be another Elvis….
Concordo plenamente com você, Elvis Presley era perfeito, um verdadeiro fenômeno, fantástico!!
Check out,, Bob Joyce,, the video, with his son, Matt Joyce,, glory, glory, hallelujah.. sings identical to Elvis
Wow always gives me goosebumps I didn't realise he was crying bless Elvis
They just Do Not make singers like this anymore. Absolutely astounding Performer. Greatest of All Time!
🙌🏾
He was born in Tupelo Mississippi then moved to Memphis TN. HE bought Graceland for his Mom and Dad! Dixieland is not one state but Southern states. Luv him always and forever 💓 💕 💗!!!!
Listen to it's over.
Aloha from Hawaii
Brotha was playing the shit outta that flute
Appreciate the reaction. Can't nobody touch him, like it or not. He never really liked the studios....he was in his element on stage live interacting with not just fans but the general public as a whole. That's what he lived for, other than his daughter Lisa. Elvis didn't need the charts or specific songs. The dude is The GOAT. Someone prove me wrong....I'll save you the time....ya can't. Everything he did had a personal conviction and made it seem so easy and natural. He may be gone almost 45 yrs yet his impact and true talents have yet to be truly acknowledged. PEACE!
Great reaction,,, 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. 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. Great reaction loved it. love from Memphis Tn.
Wow, that’s amazing. I never met him but my family was passing through Memphis in 1977 and we stopped by Graceland. It was in the spring and his Uncle Vester Presley was manning the security gate. He said Elvis was away on tour. A few months later in August he passed away. I was so sad. What a privilege you had to get to meet him. Later as a grown up I lived in a suburb near Memphis and met people that personally knew him or dated him in high school. He was truly one of a kind and a humble, kind, and gracious human being. God Bless You 🙏❤️
Born in Tupelo, Ms. Dixieland is all of the south. This song is about bringing the North & South together after the civil war. His estate is called Graceland.
This is a powerful song! I have had the privilege of singing this song in the church choir a number of times. Can you imagine standing in front of Elvis Presley when he is singing the song? The man is the KING!!!
O melhor cantor de todos os tempos! Nunca haverá outro como Elvis. Elvis is perfect forever👏👏👏🙇♀️👑. He is King
Dixieland is all of the South! He was born in Tupelo,Ms. and lived at Graceland in Memphis,Tn.
The. Incredible elvis.
