He paved the way for Michael Jackson. In fact in his video for "return to sender" he actually does that bent kick move. If you watched suspicious minds you'd see why he was almost arrested and in some places could only be filmed from waist up.
@@kristinaswilleyy and yet Michael Jackson hated him a lot. He said the media only played his stuff cos he was white and everyone didn't get screen time and said he was gonna prove he is bigger than Elvis. Yet he only became the King of Pop and Elvis still remains the King of Rock. And comparing a artist who didn't even do a world tour vs Michael Jackson who did and could get a bigger audience is something. If Elvis would gone around the world he would've gotten more fans. Everyone wanted a new sound and rock and roll was the sound. Not a new sound. It was THE sound
Can’t believe it’s been 42 years since his passing ... he turned the world upside down. His music will last forever. What a voice, what a talent what a legend
Elvis has now been dead as long as he was alive...Elvis died at the young age of 42 years old. A stark reminder how short his whirlwind life was and what a massive impact he made in the world with the little time he had on this earth.
@@marciadiehl5733 I still remember the day he died. It was on the cover of all the magazines. I was only 7 years old, but I understood something major had happened.
1977 August 16 this talented man passed but he gifted the world with the most amazing beautiful music that will never age thankyou Elvis 🕺 the 👑 king lives on 👏👏👏👏👏
As I've mentioned before I'm from Elvis's birthplace and lived in Memphis for 20 years. "Dead Week" in both places is crazy. Even now his fans are passionate! RIP, hail the King.

Another great one from the king! RIP Elvis gone 42 years ago today 8/16/1977.... He has been gone the same number of years he was on this earth and yet right now at his home Graceland in Memphis there is hundreds of thousands of fans from all over the world there paying their respects with the annual candlelight vigil and celebration of his life that they call Elvis Week! I dont know of any other entertainer that has had the type of impact on the world to get that type of love for so long and still gaining popularity with the younger generations coming along, its amazing to think about really! And actually I said entertainer but idk if I can think of another person that has had the effect Elvis has on the world.
I mentioned the same thing above in response to a different post. It is eerie that Elvis has been dead now as long as he was alive. I was 21 when he passed away. I grew up watching all his movies that they would show on TV during that time. I went to one of his performances when he was touring in 1973...and unforgettable experience. After Elvis passed away, I went out and bought many of his records at a record store. They were selling like hotcakes after he died. Radio stations were playing his recordings back to back constantly for many days after he died and his funeral. One year after he passed, I drove to Memphis and hung out at the front gate of Graceland for two or three days where there were a few fans to pay their respects. Everyone of us there at that time were not able to go the year before to see Elvis in his coffin to pay our respects (the family allowed the fans that were gathered there to view Elvis's body). So I felt compelled to go on the one year anniversary of his death. Elvis and his mother had been moved to Graceland as months before an attempt had been made to steal his body at the original burial site. We were allowed on August 16, 1978 to go inside the gate to pay our respects to Elvis's grave thanks to his cousin who was a gate guard. Those of us at the gate became friendly with him and we asked if we could lay flowers on Elvis's grave. The family wasn't allowing anyone to view the grave at that time except family members and close friends. So his cousin spoke to Vernon on our behalf and he allowed us to walk up to the grave and the rest is history. Afterwards, visitors were allowed to to the gravesite and then Priscilla eventually allowed fans to go inside and take tours of the home. I have not been back to Graceland since I got to be one of the first to pay my respects back in 1978. However, I would like to think that I helped to pave the way for the millions that have come after me so they could visit Graceland. I will never forget Vernon's generosity to our little group of fans that year. May he, Elvis, and Gladys RIP.
@@marciadiehl5733 wow that's awesome. I wasn't born until 1979 so I never got to experience a time where Elvis was alive but it's funny I remember as a kid seeing his movies and tv specials on tv all the time and not just 2 days a year like they mostly do now so I never really realized that he was dead until I was about 7 or 8 and I was watching one of the shows with me dad and asked if he ever came near us could we go see him and that's when I learned that he had died in 1977 and the whole story with that. And because I was introduced to his music as a baby and had became such a big fan I was devastated when I found out. It's crazy really, but I dont remember hearing hardly any other music from my childhood until I was old enough to start finding my own radio stations and watching MTV and that's when I started listening to other music of the 80's like Guns n Rose's, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Def Lepperd and others that were gaining popularity at the time but Elvis was the music I came to love and his music it still my favorite to this day, even though I listen to all kinds of music nothing seems to affect me the way Elvis does
@@rwieber79 I can completely understand and sympathize. I was born in 1956...the breakout year where Elvis gained national and then international fame. So I truly became aware of Elvis when they would occasionally show one of his movies during the 1960's on TV. I actually got to go to the theater and see four of his later movies when they hit the theaters: Speedway, Change of Habit, Trouble With Girls, and Charro. Like yourself, I grew up when music was changing FAST thanks to the British invasion starting with the Beatles. When Elvis started cranking out some really great tunes in the late 60's, I became a real fan. When he passed away, I felt like I had let him slip away from me because I had become engrossed in newer performers and bands. The great thing about TH-cam is that I can go back and watch his performances and recapture or in some ways...discover him all over again. Great to see some younger generations going back to earlier artists and appreciating their music and talents.
@@marciadiehl5733 You were born in the same year as my father in law and my dad was born a year later in 1957 and they have a similar view as you on it. My mom and dad actually had planned on going to his last concert in Indianapolis but my dad wasnt able to get the night off work so they didn't get to go so they made plans to see I'm on the tour that never was when he was scheduled to perform here in Louisville,KY on I think it was August 18th or 19th but we all know what happened with that. And to this day my dad regrets not getting to go see him in Indianapolis.
By far & away, this was one of Elvis’ greatest hits of all time & cemented his status as a star. How would the world music scene have turned out without his great influence across so many different styles of music??? LONG LIVE THE KING ✋️🤴🏽🤚
This was the closest Elvis did to being choreographed, it was his live shows in the 50s he was all over the place. Technically this is considered the first music video! Way ahead of his time! Long Live The King!
42 yrs ago,i was 19 and a bunch of friends and I went to the ocean for the day.we were laying on towels and blankets,with a transistor radio,listen to tunes,when a news bulletin broke in. announcing Elvis Presley had died.it was like the whole beach,the waves of the ocean,stopped for just a moment. I heard some girls crying down the beach. I hoped to never have that pit in the stomach feeling ever again. But I did get it again on 9/11.that same sick feeling in your gut. as far as elvis and his moves. Ed Sullivan show could not show from the waist down.Rip Elvis AAron Presley.you will live on forever. Love your reaction Jamal God Bless
Thank you for a great reaction on the king death day. I loved him from i was 4 years old. Because my stepdad was in the norwegian Elvis presley fanclub so i got to see every movie he made and the concert that was filmed and i loved listening to Elvis presley so thank you so much for doing this reaction on this special day.
Nothing can top his concert footage and I am so thankful we have them. Live from Las Vegas, Hawaii and the ‘68 comeback special. 1976, I was 10. I never thought I would get to see Elvis live...NOW, I can see him live any time I want.
when you can.. react to Buddy Holly "Peggy Sue", "That'll Be The Day", or "Maybe Baby". Heck any song if you choose. Would love to see your reaction to him period.
What a great reaction. This clip was from the movie and it is well worth watching. I'm providing a clip that showcases his singing and dancing from another one of his movies 'Loving You'. The song is 'Mean Woman Blues'. th-cam.com/video/ErS9BVWMeoI/w-d-xo.html
His moves have been copied by so many artists and nobody even realizes it. Think of even some of Michael Jackson's moves especially the up on his toes move. You should see the movie Jailhouse Rock because you'll really enjoy it!
Pretty much everything Jackson did was stuff he copied from guys like Bill Bailey. Tap dancing and soft shoe bits he mixed in with "modern" dance choreography. I grew up watching musicals with my grandparents, and saw Gene Kelly, Sammy Davis Jr and Fred Astaire do a lot of very similar, and even more impressive, stuff. So I never found Jackson's dancing particularly impressive.
@@RyanAcidhedzMurphy Definitely Jackson took from the best of those that came before him. To me, that is the height of respect...and real complement to those who paved the way and opened doors for him in the business and artistry.
Elvis is And always will be the KING of ROCK and ROLL! I still remember where I was & what I was doing when we heard Elvis had diedI lived in a very rural part of Northern California, like really rural!, the town pretty much shut down Main Street, oh you must watch the movie!
I still remember where I was when the news broke about him passing. It was a day later because there was no television in west Yellowstone mt in 77. Also our radio played from 7 am to 6 pm. It was like living in another world. Thank heaven our business was seasonal so we returned to reality. Love your videos. Elvis the pelvis and his brother...Ennis the....?
As a lifelong Elvis fan, I would recommend, "Now and Then There's a Fool Such As I". Not the usual suggestion but TRUST ME, its a gem! Its an early Elvis song, great 50's song, nice hook, laced with Elvis and his magic!!
Elvis, the original pole dancer. I wasn't quite 9 when he died in '77, and until then I don't think I knew who he was. But then for like at least a month radio & tv went Elvis-berko, talk about a crash course in learning all things Elvis.
Elvis passed away Sadly a year and nine days before I was born. I will forever listen to him daily. Never fails not a day goes by that I can go without listening to sweet Elvis sing. Rest easy Elvis, your legacy will live on forever.
What a way to honor the King ! I remember where I was when i heard the news and growing up in Las Vegas I remember hearing alot of his songs on the radio for day's afterward and mostly I remember the entire Strip went dark in his memory the entire city mourned his passing. I would like to request the song memories , I think you'll love it...♡
You are delightful to watch. I thoroughly enjoy you. Elvis WAS ALL THAT. Much loved and much missed. No autotune back then. You had to have real talent.
Elvis the only music artist who could bring this whole world closer together that's why he gets all these plaudits from across the globe even forty odd year's after his passing he's still bringing us closer still.
The first time I went to Elvis house, it hit me there were no mirrors,no rehearsal area, when you saw Elvis he was genuine unrehearsed created on the spot original, to me he was music,flowing through his veins, thank you Lord for giving us Elvis,, oh I did primp in all Elvis lil mirrors knowing his reflection was once there, if you get the chance,go visit the King!
Thank you so much, Jamel :) Elvis impacted many artists that went after him, not only Beyone, most artists just wanted to have the impact Elvis had, i watched documentary about it :) it included The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jakson (Michael even married Elvis's daugher Lisa Marie) Freddie Mercury and many more... Yes Elvis has moves and it was back in the 50's of last century :) They were considered so controversial, that they told TV to show him only from waist up and his concerts were watched by police :) I believe white puritan America just was not ready for black ekspression, because everything what Elvis did he borrowed from black people and brought it to the mainstream :) Thanks and waiting for part 2 - greetings from Poland - Karolina
Elvis, as far as I know, didn't get his moves from anybody but himself. He just couldn't stand still when he was singing so he put the moves to good use. Lol! Thanks Elvis!
Everyone has their inspiration and Elvis was no different, Elvis was inspited by black people he grew up with in Tupelo and Memphis. He even attended All Night Sings in black churches where black people sang gospel music. He saw moves there :) His first song That's All Right Mama was first sung by black singer Big Mama Thornton :) Karolina/Poland
Anubis2976 I grew up in the South.. We went to black singing conventions.. they come to ours... we went to their Easter Rock Services... all of us climbing on an old bus... I sure wish folks wouldn't put all us Southerners in the same pot... Most of you would be surprised at my music collection/ selection... so many wonderful black singers ... Gospel, soul and rock n roll... We wasn't taught to love thy neighbor.. We learned by example... Life was different tho on the Bayou...
No. Elvis early music was a fusion of black (and white) gospel, r&b and country music. He didn't 'steal' music from anyone, as he has been accused. He was a man ahead of his time.
His voice in 1977 was good on certain songs what is overall voice control is ability to go high and low his phrasing an overall tone was much better in the early 60s songs like surrender its Now or never there's always me fame and Fortune is the proof of that and his all around physical condition was it at its best in the early 60s thank you have a good day just sharing my opinion thank u
Love what you and I love to see your reactions and to see your smile when you hear amazing music! Keep it up and yea I'm comfortable in my skin and Elvis in his 68 comeback special he was gorgeous... Yea I saw your review on that.. Keep it up my friend...
That was a young Elvis. I happen to have this movie and watch it a lot!!!! It's a good movie. Elvis definitely had some moves!😊 He was and is still the man.
Listen close to the voice. The template of cool.... it’s smooth yet urgent. Fun yet dangerous. Blues toned yet electric chomp at the bit.... this ship launched millions of dreams.
Elvis was the first! Everyone, including Michael Jackson got moves from the King! You are so much fun to watch. Especially, with Elvis! You should play "King Creole" & "CrawFish" from the the movie King Creole, which was Elvis' favorite movie, and probably his best.
It has been an absolute honor to have watched these videos again. I've been looking up an listening to him again. I'm in my sixty's an he was such an inspiration to me when I was a young man. I just want to say thank you.
When this clip from the film was first shown in 1957, people lost their minds. Not only was it the first rock'n''roll video, but it is also very amusing indeed. Note the old lags hanging from the posts! As for Elvis himself, what more can you say? The template for every male vocalist. He had it all:- the looks, the voice, the hair, and THOSE moves. Unlike today, no young parent would name their son after Elvis back then. No one would dare to take the King's name in vain........
Yeah!! Elvis est comme un prophète de la musique rock, certainement le 1er blanc qui chantais avec du gospel,et une manière de bouger comme personne avait vu auparavant,tout les groupes qui ont suivis.. les Beatles et tous les autres groupes se sont inspirés de lui..en somme il y a eu Robert Johnson,b.b king ,et Elvis..paix a ton âme le roi Elvis et Merci.
My mom played so many Elvis records, she drug my dad, my 3 younger brothers and I to the latest Elvis movies, after a while my brothers and I were tired of Elvis. Now that I'm in my 60's, I can listen to him without rolling my eyes saying not again.
Elvis was the coolest cat before his Vegas days. He died exactly 1 week before my 8th birthday. I remembering seeing his funeral procession live on tv when he died. My mom met him when she was a teenager.
I love your reactions, Jamal. They are right on. You have a very nice way about you. Thanks for your joy and insight. You make people feel happy. Thanks.
Elvis was the first of his time. He even spoke about being " blessed beyond this world ." And his closing theme was " 2001, A Space odyssey. " was used throughout his 70's shows. He passed away on August 16, 1977, and added up, 9+16+1977=2001. He truly was a gift from another world
I love how Elvis who was from the south at a time you had the hatred just from people just for skin colour, but Elvis attended gospel church's, and even when so many hated Elvis calling him Satan and a black man in white skin,he stayed modest and said any one who judges a person by the colour of his or her skin isn't a Christian ,and I have know time for them,truly a beautiful gifted man that his light burnt out far too early.
The swivelling of the hips..... A move that made so many fans (especially early in his career) literally flip out & “lose their minds”.... But in a good way ☝️👑👌 It was so controversial at the time that they only filmed him from the waist up on an appearance on a tv show (Ed Sullivan I think) ✊️😎
I'm enjoying these Elvis flashbacks. I was 5 when he passed away, but I've always been a fan. If you get a chance, and it doesn't get blocked, look up, Come on Everybody by Elvis with Ann Margaret. It's a good interactive foot tapping tune too.
A lot of documentaries will probably be on TV since it’s his 42 years death anniversary. I guess whatever you want to call it for a lack of better words. ‘ they said you were high class, but that was just a lie’ Lol I’m on bed rest from surgery. No cancer thank God didn’t come back. So I really wanted to catch up on my TH-cam‘s. You have a new subscriber and a new fan! You’re so kind to indulge us. I’m 45 so I wasn’t around for the Elvis days but like I said my mom was lucky enough.... back then they were dinner concerts she was lucky enough to go 2 times. Elvis grew up in what my mom said is called a shotgun house it’s basically just one room. He was very poor and all he had was one pair of jeans and one pair of shoes and he was picked on a lot at school for it. Once he became a star he said he would never wear jeans again and he never did. He associated that with being poor, it was a trigger. Not that you’re poor if you wear jeans. The dance he did was named the pin wheel. You can see it in his younger yrs doing Hound Dog.
What a great scene from a great movie! I remember when he would perform on The Ed Sullivan Show, Sunday nights. They were only allowed to film him from the waist up because of his dance moves!
my mum used to love Elvis sings Gospel, here favourite song was "How Great Thou Art" and she passed on, my sister paid a piper who wore full military highland piper dress and I still cant listen to "Amazing Grace" without getting choked up
Elvis once said in an interview (about his '68 comeback special) that the music and moves were in his body, he couldn't help but dance. That's why it was so difficult to choreograph around him because no one knew what he was going to do. Even him.
This is prime Elvis right here. He wasn't "The King" yet, but he also had time to built his persona. He was still a little bit raw and wasn't as flamboyant as he would be later on in his career. His singing voice still had that rasp that sounded so nice.
This is from the film "Jailhouse Rock". It's a great Elvis movie from his early period, when he put out his coolest songs. To me, the best movie is "Loving You" which is almost the story of Elvis. His first film was "Love Me Tender". He also did "King Creole" which shows what a great ability to act he had .
Jailhouse Rock is my favorite after You Were Always on my Mind. The choreography is top notch. My oldest sister cried the Christmas after he passed...someone gave her an Elvis album and she got all teary.😢 I didn't learn until this minute that he died today Aug 16, the day before her birthday.
Thank u jamel for playing my vidio.hes got moves His vidios .hound dog. Money honey. Elvis does gospel too. Youll never walk alone. The 19 74 vidio . How grest thou are.
Shirley did you hear that pricella is producing a Netflix adult cartoon about Elvis. Its called agent king or something. I fear it will make a joke out of his legacy.
@@shirleycarr5387 I know but I feel like putting him in a jet pack and stuff might make him a joke not to be passed on to our younger generations. I hope it's not to bad. Clark butcher sent me the link
Elvis with so in inovating for his time this was like a michael jackson back in the day and if you look at some of the Moves when he's on his toes that's where Michael Jackson got his moves from.also the short pants with white socks .
Elvis could dance. A lot of people got moves from him...
you'd be surprised.
Rest in peace Elvis, miss you 42 years later.
I got my.movies from.him lol

FANTASTIC FANTASTIC
Elvis had great moves. That was a good movie.
Great tribute to the king on the 42nd anniversary of his passing
I’m going to DELETE MY REACTION TO HOUND DOG! Someone sent me the wrong link. But I will be reacting to the right version stay tuned 👍🏾
next Elvis song please do "You gave me a mountain" ,,,from 1973 aloha concert,,,and "What now my love" same concert PLEASEEEEEEEEEE
when you can.. react to Buddy Holly "Peggy Sue", "That'll Be The Day", or "Maybe Baby". Heck any song if you choose. Would love to see your reaction to him period.
Here's a 'try not to cry" song to react to..... Red Sovine 'Roses For Mama'
Yes you will like the original performance a lot more 👑👍
What a great reaction. This clip was from the movie and it is well worth watching. I'm providing a clip that showcases his singing and dancing from another one of his movies 'Loving You'. The song is 'Mean Woman Blues'.

An Amazing Song, Artist and a Amazing Time in music history! Love Elvis❤️
His moves have been copied by so many artists and nobody even realizes it. Think of even some of Michael Jackson's moves especially the up on his toes move. You should see the movie Jailhouse Rock because you'll really enjoy it!
Pretty much everything Jackson did was stuff he copied from guys like Bill Bailey. Tap dancing and soft shoe bits he mixed in with "modern" dance choreography. I grew up watching musicals with my grandparents, and saw Gene Kelly, Sammy Davis Jr and Fred Astaire do a lot of very similar, and even more impressive, stuff. So I never found Jackson's dancing particularly impressive.
@@RyanAcidhedzMurphy Definitely Jackson took from the best of those that came before him. To me, that is the height of respect...and real complement to those who paved the way and opened doors for him in the business and artistry.
MJ loved Elvis and he as us was a huge fan:)
Ryan Murphy utube
Happy Feet, with dancing, from King of Jazz. Entertaining.
Damn 😂 so true
Elvis is And always will be the KING of ROCK and ROLL! I still remember where I was & what I was doing when we heard Elvis had diedI lived in a very rural part of Northern California, like really rural!, the town pretty much shut down Main Street, oh you must watch the movie!
BravoJamel ,on est revenu quelques années en arriere mais quel bon moment on passe avec vous bravo,bravo .Elvis formidable .
August 16, 1977
Rest in Peace, Elvis
🙏♥️ ⚡
I still remember where I was when the news broke about him passing. It was a day later because there was no television in west Yellowstone mt in 77. Also our radio played from 7 am to 6 pm. It was like living in another world. Thank heaven our business was seasonal so we returned to reality.
Love your videos.
Elvis the pelvis and his brother...Ennis the....?
My Way ..done by Elvis is wonderful too.live of course.believe he did in 73 Aloha concert
Elvis Presley had EVERYTHING! Not a lot of singers do. But Elvis had the looks, the voice, the moves and the charisma.
As a lifelong Elvis fan, I would recommend, "Now and Then There's a Fool Such As I". Not the usual suggestion but TRUST ME, its a gem! Its an early Elvis song, great 50's song, nice hook, laced with Elvis and his magic!!
Elvis, the original pole dancer. I wasn't quite 9 when he died in '77, and until then I don't think I knew who he was. But then for like at least a month radio & tv went Elvis-berko, talk about a crash course in learning all things Elvis.
Elvis passed away Sadly a year and nine days before I was born. I will forever listen to him daily. Never fails not a day goes by that I can go without listening to sweet Elvis sing. Rest easy Elvis, your legacy will live on forever.
Omg! Iheard this for the first time when I was 15! Fell in love with Elvis & haven't stopped loving him!
Nobody like Elvis Presley he had so much soul.
Jamel, you are so.real.thank you very much for your reaction of the 👑of music god bless you ❤Elvis,always.he loved everybody 👍👏⭐💎⚡ TCB TLC ⚡
What a way to honor the King ! I remember where I was when i heard the news and growing up in Las Vegas I remember hearing alot of his songs on the radio for day's afterward and mostly I remember the entire Strip went dark in his memory the entire city mourned his passing. I would like to request the song memories , I think you'll love it...♡
You can't help but bounce when you hear this song!
You are delightful to watch. I thoroughly enjoy you. Elvis WAS ALL THAT. Much loved and much missed. No autotune back then. You had to have real talent.
Elvis the best the king the voice
Elvis the only music artist who could bring this whole world closer together that's why he gets all these plaudits from across the globe even forty odd year's after his passing he's still bringing us closer still.
You keep playing Elvis and oldies rock and role and I will be here
Me too. Elvis fans are loyal.
"Elvis, Elvis, let me be, keep your pelvis far from me" Grease. My Uncle cried the day he died. RIP King 1977.
You’re reactions are timeless! So funny. In a good happy way.
Thank You🙏🏾
I was 8 yrs old when Elvis passed away. When they made the announcement my mom let out a blood curdling scream.
The first time I went to Elvis house, it hit me there were no mirrors,no rehearsal area, when you saw Elvis he was genuine unrehearsed created on the spot original, to me he was music,flowing through his veins, thank you Lord for giving us Elvis,, oh I did primp in all Elvis lil mirrors knowing his reflection was once there, if you get the chance,go visit the King!
Thank you so much, Jamel :) Elvis impacted many artists that went after him, not only Beyone, most artists just wanted to have the impact Elvis had, i watched documentary about it :) it included The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jakson (Michael even married Elvis's daugher Lisa Marie) Freddie Mercury and many more... Yes Elvis has moves and it was back in the 50's of last century :) They were considered so controversial, that they told TV to show him only from waist up and his concerts were watched by police :) I believe white puritan America just was not ready for black ekspression, because everything what Elvis did he borrowed from black people and brought it to the mainstream :) Thanks and waiting for part 2 - greetings from Poland - Karolina
Anubis2976 🙏🏾
Elvis, as far as I know, didn't get his moves from anybody but himself. He just couldn't stand still when he was singing so he put the moves to good use. Lol! Thanks Elvis!
Everyone has their inspiration and Elvis was no different, Elvis was inspited by black people he grew up with in Tupelo and Memphis. He even attended All Night Sings in black churches where black people sang gospel music. He saw moves there :) His first song That's All Right Mama was first sung by black singer Big Mama Thornton :) Karolina/Poland
Anubis2976 I grew up in the South.. We went to black singing conventions.. they come to ours... we went to their Easter Rock Services... all of us climbing on an old bus... I sure wish folks wouldn't put all us Southerners in the same pot... Most of you would be surprised at my music collection/ selection... so many wonderful black singers ... Gospel, soul and rock n roll... We wasn't taught to love thy neighbor.. We learned by example... Life was different tho on the Bayou...
No. Elvis early music was a fusion of black (and white) gospel, r&b and country music. He didn't 'steal' music from anyone, as he has been accused. He was a man ahead of his time.
Jamel and we all appreciate you for reacting to Elvis songs :) I look forward to more :)
You should see Elvis perform “Unchained Melody” live in 1977. Powerful.
His voice in 1977 was good on certain songs what is overall voice control is ability to go high and low his phrasing an overall tone was much better in the early 60s songs like surrender its Now or never there's always me fame and Fortune is the proof of that and his all around physical condition was it at its best in the early 60s thank you have a good day just sharing my opinion thank u
This and Suspicious minds are my two favourites Elvis songs to sing. This one is super fun haha
Elvis had amazing talent and charizma he had to stay on top for his audiance and fans.🤟👌🤘🖐️👋👍🙏😂💋💋💋🇺🇸
I think Elvis would be so pleased that he is still giving us joy💔. RIP Elvis
Love what you and I love to see your reactions and to see your smile when you hear amazing music! Keep it up and yea I'm comfortable in my skin and Elvis in his 68 comeback special he was gorgeous... Yea I saw your review on that.. Keep it up my friend...
That was a young Elvis. I happen to have this movie and watch it a lot!!!! It's a good movie. Elvis definitely had some moves!😊 He was and is still the man.
ELVIS FOREVER..THE KING IS GREAT!!
I absolutely adore this song, I used to sing it at karaoke bars all the time.
Really great !! one of the beginning of all his greatness. Thanks... 👍🏾
Listen close to the voice. The template of cool.... it’s smooth yet urgent. Fun yet dangerous. Blues toned yet electric chomp at the bit.... this ship launched millions of dreams.
Elvis was the first! Everyone, including Michael Jackson got moves from the King! You are so much fun to watch. Especially, with Elvis! You should play "King Creole" & "CrawFish" from the the movie King Creole, which was Elvis' favorite movie, and probably his best.
ELVIS AARON PRESLEY THANKS FOR SHOWING THIS VIDEO I LOVE JAIL HOUSE ROCK LOVE THIS MOVIE HE GOT IT WHAT A
MAN
It has been an absolute honor to have watched these videos again. I've been looking up an listening to him again. I'm in my sixty's an he was such an inspiration to me when I was a young man. I just want to say thank you.
👍🏾
Elvis could also dance on the tips of his toes! Salute!!!
When this clip from the film was first shown in 1957, people lost their minds.
Not only was it the first rock'n''roll video, but it is also very amusing indeed.
Note the old lags hanging from the posts! As for Elvis himself, what more can you
say? The template for every male vocalist. He had it all:- the looks, the voice, the
hair, and THOSE moves. Unlike today, no young parent would name their son after
Elvis back then. No one would dare to take the King's name in vain........
Yeah!! Elvis est comme un prophète de la musique rock, certainement le 1er blanc qui chantais avec du gospel,et une manière de bouger comme personne avait vu auparavant,tout les groupes qui ont suivis.. les Beatles et tous les autres groupes se sont inspirés de lui..en somme il y a eu Robert Johnson,b.b king ,et Elvis..paix a ton âme le roi Elvis et Merci.
My mom played so many Elvis records, she drug my dad, my 3 younger brothers and I to the latest Elvis movies, after a while my brothers and I were tired of Elvis. Now that I'm in my 60's, I can listen to him without rolling my eyes saying not again.
Elvis was the coolest cat before his Vegas days. He died exactly 1 week before my 8th birthday. I remembering seeing his funeral procession live on tv when he died. My mom met him when she was a teenager.
Watching you rock with the King 👑 was priceless ❤ Thanks so much!!!
I think Elvis was the first pole dancer. He had all the best dance moves ever.❤❤❤Happy Christmas night❂Jamal. Thank you for all the great songs.
I love your reactions, Jamal. They are right on. You have a very nice way about you. Thanks for your joy and insight. You make people feel happy. Thanks.
Thank you Denise🙏🏾
Elvis was the first of his time. He even spoke about being " blessed beyond this world ." And his closing theme was " 2001, A Space odyssey. " was used throughout his 70's shows. He passed away on August 16, 1977, and added up, 9+16+1977=2001. He truly was a gift from another world
I love how Elvis who was from the south at a time you had the hatred just from people just for skin colour, but Elvis attended gospel church's, and even when so many hated Elvis calling him Satan and a black man in white skin,he stayed modest and said any one who judges a person by the colour of his or her skin isn't a Christian ,and I have know time for them,truly a beautiful gifted man that his light burnt out far too early.
Elvis the Pelvis...
The swivelling of the hips..... A move that made so many fans (especially early in his career) literally flip out & “lose their minds”.... But in a good way ☝️👑👌 It was so controversial at the time that they only filmed him from the waist up on an appearance on a tv show (Ed Sullivan I think) ✊️😎
👍🏾
Elvis was ahead of his time.
Another great Elvis song/dance video is the King with the amazing Ann-Margret. Video is Come On Everybody - Elvis and Ann-Margret
Thank's for the upload. FANTASTIC HE WAS!
👍🏾
I'm enjoying these Elvis flashbacks. I was 5 when he passed away, but I've always been a fan.
If you get a chance, and it doesn't get blocked, look up, Come on Everybody by Elvis with Ann Margaret. It's a good interactive foot tapping tune too.
A lot of documentaries will probably be on TV since it’s his 42 years death anniversary. I guess whatever you want to call it for a lack of better words. ‘ they said you were high class, but that was just a lie’ Lol
I’m on bed rest from surgery. No cancer thank God didn’t come back. So I really wanted to catch up on my TH-cam‘s. You have a new subscriber and a new fan! You’re so kind to indulge us. I’m 45 so I wasn’t around for the Elvis days but like I said my mom was lucky enough.... back then they were dinner concerts she was lucky enough to go 2 times. Elvis grew up in what my mom said is called a shotgun house it’s basically just one room. He was very poor and all he had was one pair of jeans and one pair of shoes and he was picked on a lot at school for it. Once he became a star he said he would never wear jeans again and he never did. He associated that with being poor, it was a trigger. Not that you’re poor if you wear jeans.
The dance he did was named the pin wheel. You can see it in his younger yrs doing Hound Dog.
What a great scene from a great movie!
I remember when he would perform on The Ed Sullivan Show, Sunday nights.
They were only allowed to film him from the waist up because of his dance moves!
my mum used to love Elvis sings Gospel, here favourite song was "How Great Thou Art" and she passed on, my sister paid a piper who wore full military highland piper dress and I still cant listen to "Amazing Grace" without getting choked up
Always makes me smile. My son was a born the year after Elvis passed away.
Elvis once said in an interview (about his '68 comeback special) that the music and moves were in his body, he couldn't help but dance. That's why it was so difficult to choreograph around him because no one knew what he was going to do. Even him.
My favorite Elvis Presley song.
Jamel, check out Roy Hamilton's " You Can Have Her" and you'll hear the powerful influence he had on Elvis Presley's vocal delivery.
Will always be the King,so loved and missed...You should watch the Come Back Concert....Awesome,I also love all those singers you mentioned
When I saw this as a kid, to me Elvis was the coolest man on 🌍…..and still is today.
Elvis from another planet 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️💙💜
This is prime Elvis right here.
He wasn't "The King" yet, but he also had time to built his persona. He was still a little bit raw and wasn't as flamboyant as he would be later on in his career. His singing voice still had that rasp that sounded so nice.
This is from the film "Jailhouse Rock". It's a great Elvis movie from his early period, when he put out his coolest songs.
To me, the best movie is "Loving You" which is almost the story of Elvis. His first film was "Love Me Tender". He also did "King Creole" which shows what a great ability to act he had .
I've seen this a half a million times and it's wonderful every time!
My man Elvis. This is one of my favorites
Jailhouse Rock is my favorite after You Were Always on my Mind.
The choreography is top notch.
My oldest sister cried the Christmas after he passed...someone gave her an Elvis album and she got all teary.😢 I didn't learn until this minute that he died today Aug 16, the day before her birthday.
🙏🏾
@@jamelakajamal Your intro music makes me smile every time. Could you react to the Nicholas brothers? Dancers. Actors.
That was solid I can never tire of listening or watching my man
Thank u jamel for playing my vidio.hes got moves
His vidios .hound dog. Money honey. Elvis does gospel too. Youll never walk alone. The 19 74 vidio . How grest thou are.
Shirley did you hear that pricella is producing a Netflix adult cartoon about Elvis. Its called agent king or something. I fear it will make a joke out of his legacy.
@@joannedungan8381 no.a cartoon.I no elvis liked comic books when he was little.
@@shirleycarr5387 I know but I feel like putting him in a jet pack and stuff might make him a joke not to be passed on to our younger generations. I hope it's not to bad. Clark butcher sent me the link
@@joannedungan8381 maybe shes doing it.so it will let the younger generation to know him.
Great song choice Jamel Elvis at his Coolest great Reaction.
Elvis with so in inovating for his time this was like a michael jackson back in the day and if you look at some of the Moves when he's on his toes that's where Michael Jackson got his moves from.also the short pants with white socks .
The most beautiful man that ever walked this planet and so gifted and could’ve sung
live whenever he had to.
