I am 74 years old. My daddy loved Elvis, both the man and his music. Back in the day some of the smaller newspapers would publish Elvis' acts of kindness that few ever knew of. Daddy would gather us kids around and read them to us. I remember one in particular that touched me. I was too young to recall dates and exact details but I've not heard it mentioned among his many acts of kindness and would like to tell what I recall. Elvis saw an elderly black woman walking and struggling to carry her groceries. He stopped and asked her if he could help. She gratefully let him put her groceries in his car expecting nothing more than a ride home. He took her to a car dealership and bought her a brand new Cadillac. She was overwhelmed and thanked him crying tears of joy. Elvis told her she would never have to walk again struggling to carry such a heavy load. Daddy put the newspaper down and looked us kids and said, If you grow up to be half as kind as this man I will consider myself as being a successful father. I've had a rough time the last 20 years being the sole caregiver for my daddy, my husband and my 2 brothers. I couldn't save them but I gave everything I had trying. I've been really down since losing my youngest brother in 2015. I came across your video tonight and can't explain how it lifted me up. Your spirit recognizes Elvis' spirit just like my daddy recognized it and how he taught me to recognize it. I feel like I have a family again. Thank you.
Elvis Presley biggest achievement - He introduced me to you and vise versa. Billions of people around the world are united because of one human being... Elvis Presley.
Talked to an old head about Elvis the other day. He saw Elvis in concert. Said after about an hour, someone walked out from back stage and whispered in Elvis's ear. He said Elvis covered the mic with his hand, but from where this guy was, he still heard him. Elvis said "These people paid good money to see me, and I'm gonna stop when I feel like it!" He said Elvis sang 3 hrs after that. Hahaha, GOAT!
August 16th is always a sad day for Elvis fans, but at the same time we celebrate the man he was. The impact he had on the world is amazing. At the candlelight vigil this year there were 15,000 people. Think about that, 46 years and his fans are still in love with him. Name me another artist that people travel from around the world to pay their respect to every year on the day of their passing. He was loved for his music, but what keeps everyone in love with Elvis after all these years was Elvis the man, the generous charismatic and loving man he was. Thank you Helene and Ray for this beautiful request and reaction. Ray you did him proud. I have loved watching you fall in love with Elvis over the past few months. Its people like you that will help keep Elvis memory alive for generations to come.
There is a connection. Yours may be stronger than some. Millions have loved him. Not just his singing& performing but him the man. Yes he had faults & everyone has heard about them with some more to boot.
Thanks for sharing Elvis was great person he brought car’s house and so much more ❤️I still miss him seeing him in person was the greatest thing I have seen ❤️❤️god bless you
I grew up on Elvis music. My nana was a huge fan but my momma has always loved his gospel music. They both loved all sides of Elvis's music. Elvis was and is the main reason why I started singing in church, just singing in general. He influenced my life, my style of dress and my love for music and singing in general. I'm not very good at singing but thanks to my hero I have confidence to get up on front of people and sing with all my soul. Thank you Elvis.
Beautiful tribute! Elvis changed my life for the better too, I grew up listening to him and watching his movies in the 90s when girls my age were all about the Backstreet Boys and Nsync, I was an Elvis girl but it wasn't until this year that I took a deep dive into his music and his life and I really started listening to him and seeing him as the heart and soul he is and he brought me back to life where I felt dead and numb from severe depression and a huge mental breakdown that ravaged my mind, heart and soul and trying to pick up the pieces the last two years I am better but was exhausted I was just a shell of a person with no passion just meh, so listening to Elvis really listening to him brought me back from the dead inside this year...I love this man, he has become my friend and big brother and mentor and I never got to meet him but I know him in my heart and soul! Thank you Ray for your reactions of Elvis they are my stress relief and always bring ne a smile I'm glad to know how many people have been affected by him as I have.. God bless you and yours Ray!
Does anyone know of any other entertainer who people gather together for a tribute either 1 day or a week like we do for Elvis?? It has grown over the years to what it is today...Graceland is the 2nd most visited attraction in the U.S.A. second to the White House.
Nope. Linda Thompson said on Tuesday that no other entertainer has as loyal of a fanbase as Elvis does. That is true. MJ fans never gather in thousands for a candlelight vigil. Elvis fans have done it for 45 years.
Paul Simon went to Graceland as he had that song in his mind, Graceland. As soon as he got to Elvis’s grave, he just cried, because he saw how much Elvis was loved and touched the lives of millions. He then went on to write Graceland.
😢 I miss him so much. He was my first idol and my first crush as a little girl. We lost one of the most incredible people and talents in the world far too soon. I will forever cherish the memories of seeing him in concert twice at the age of 10/11. There's a big portrait and a bust of him in my living room. He will never be forgotten in this family.
@toodlescae I felt the same, was a small girl when he was on Ed Sullivan. Yes, my very first crush and love too. You just could not take your eyes off of him. Was young but remember him like it was today. So loved.❤
Ray, you say you are aspiring to be a particular kind of person… you don’t need to be anything or anybody else… you are already such a good person who sees good in people, helps those in need, you love your family beyond measure and you bring light to 75000+ people’s days with your meaningful and more often hilarious reactions!! Please believe in yourself and when you need calm in your day, Elvis is now a major part of your life and his music is there to ease your mind ❤
@@vibereacts05 I just say it as I see it 😊 you will exhaust yourself striving to be a better person than what you are… you know why?! You don’t need to! Just continue being you… that’s more than good enough 😌
"A connection that goes deeper than just the music"... You got it exactly right. Whether you're from that first generation of fans, the current, newest generation of fans or everyone in between, we all feel that deeper connection with Elvis. And the more you know, the more you love him. Ray, I've always said I feel certain that he would get a kick out of you & your sense of humor. I now feel certain that he'd fully appreciate the work you're doing & understand what you mean & what you say. I also think that what you're describing, the feeling you have for Elvis, has to do with your tender heart. Elvis had a tender heart & he would see that same trait in you. I believe he would recognize you as a kindred spirit. Regardless of time, place, dimension or plane of existence..he would recognize you. Maybe he already has. Maybe he will one day, on the other side. But there's a silver thread that connects kindred spirits. It's already there. I pray Elvis is happy, healthy & whole where he is..& fully aware how much he is still loved & how much we miss him. Thank you for this heartfelt tribute. We love Elvis. And we love you too, Ray. 💙🦋💙🦋💙🦋💙🦋💙🦋💙🦋💙💙
Thank you so much for your words im glad that my message was clear i felt so much emotion in this one i didn't think the message was clear . Thank you for the love
@vibereacts05 we love you Ray!! Elvis would absolutely love you! He had a great sense of humor and you would have him cracking up! He would've made you a member of the Memphis Mafia, and then have the kitchen whip up a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich for you.❤ ⚡️TCB
Thank you Relvis for this special presentation on the anniversary of Elvis’s death. His death always hits us to the man who inspired us and continues to do so. He loved gospel and knew he loved God. He loved us. That is what separates him from many . I’m not sure if all entertainers loved their fans as he did. Perhaps they do but I don’t appreciate their love. My granddaughters love him and saw Austin Butler play Elvis and learned about why he died, not how he died. They have been profoundly affected by his contribution to history and his sheer power and non deniable handsomeness. May you RIP Elvis ❤
I am in tears watching and listening to this gorgeous man and his gorgeous voice, but added to that is your precious reactions. The love and respect you have for Elvis, the man, his voice, his life, and everything about him is so touching and inspiring. I thank you for doing Elvis reactions and loving him like us fans who have loved him for decades. God bless you, Ray!
Thank you Ray!! I’m crying. Watched the Candlelight vigil at Graceland last night and it’s such a weird feeling. I cannot describe how I feel about Elvis as a man and his passing. It breaks my heart. But at the same time it’s so confusing as to how I feel and not even knowing Elvis. You cannot describe to anyone how it feels to be an Elvis fan but we all know, we all feel it inside us. Thanks Ray for all you do for this wonderful man and giving us all a platform to share 💙
Ray your grin is sweet , mischievous and adorable. The things you say and the way you conduct and communicate is priceless. You my friend are a peach of a fella. May you be blessed with happiness and good health. Great program today.
Ray , Thank you so much ! Everything you said was so beautiful & touching ! It’s hard to describe the feeling you get when Elvis comes into your life an you love him & see all the love he gave to not just his fans the whole world! My friend you have made Elvis proud ! He touched you & your heart! Your already a good man but there is nothing wrong with wanting to be like Elvis! If everyone in this world acted an had a lil bit of Elvis in them this world would be a better place! But this video was unforgettable you felt & fell what we all do you can’t explain it some people get it an others don’t! But Bravo Sir! Elvis will gladly meet you at the pearly gates when it your time with that beautiful grin he will say come on in Relvis give you a big hug an take your hand an say You’ll Never Walk Alone My Friend! Thank you again I’m so touched! God bless & take care . An most keep being you! Much love to you ,the family, an all the Vibe gang! Thanks Miss Helene ! 😍👑❤️🙏
He is magic and there is no other explanation. He was not a saint but he was a special man. He knew he was sick and didn't stop because he didn't want to let his fans down. He had a work ethic that was like his generation. He was never above others he wanted to friends and family. He felt he had to be a success for his family and his twin brother. He never stop believing in God and country. He would give you the shirt off his back. He was a good soldier and American. Thank you for this wonderful tribute.
Ray, this was beautiful. Your words resonated with me, and probably everyone else, the connection we feel with Elvis is profound and unexplainable. He was a bright light that shone like no other, and I believe people with good hearts recognized his beautiful spirit and were drawn to him in that way. He was a compassionate, kind, and generous man, we should all try to emulate him more. RIP, dear Elvis, I sure hope to shake your hand in heaven one day.
Been a fan since i was 12 yrs old and i still listen to Elvis every day, usually when I'm falling asleep. He makes me feel relaxed, and i forget my worries. I absolutely love him! He was the most special human being!
I am starting to see a lot of the younger people that wasn't even born back in his era and I love that they are finding his music and keeping his name,voice and legacy alive and spreading it out to their people,never let his name die,thank you ,I cry everytime I listen to your chanel about him ,I have always felt that he was family and know he's here with us celebrating him everyday
I’m rewatching all your reactions of Elvis because I get it. I feel that connection also and I can’t explain it. I just remembered the day he died. I felt a piece of me died that day too. The world stood still that day & I couldn’t wait to get home from work so I could bawl my eyes out. I was a Nurse, age 25 & I could not believe it. What a sad, sad day that was. They wouldn’t allow us to tell our Cardiac patients in case they became too emotional, so I had to pretend nothing was wrong and allowed their families to tell them. I have a 6 foot Elvis in his leather standing up in my room. I look at him and smile every time except the day Lisa Marie died. That day I cried like a baby thinking he lost his baby & then I recalled they were together. May they both RIP. God bless you Ray and Elvis too. ❤❤❤😊🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🌹🌹🎸🕺🏻🎸🕺🏻🎤🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️
One of the joys of my day is to come find you in the evenings. To have watched the progression of your admiration and love for Elvis, your quest for knowledge and your willingness to take the time and dive deeper into the complexities of Elvis has been inspirational to watch. Your reactions have made me smile, laugh out loud and cry. I appreciate your willingness to be vulnerable to us, and, speaking for myself, we love you for it. It is also a joy to have found a number of other reactors, including the very young ones, who are discovering Elvis and spreading the word that this man STILL has something to say to us, and to teach us about ourselves. Thanks Ray, and Thanks EP, for everything.
You know Ray, I grew up listening to his music and watching his performances and took it all for granted at the time. People like you who discovered this man late & appreciate his talent and him as a human being make me feel how lucky I was back then. Thanks.
Ray, you truly did find Elvis's heart yesterday. ❤️ I am an old man but did have the pleasure of singing along on my radio with him in the time he was alive. You are absolutely right about how incredible after 46 years, his legacy still touches the young people not even knowing his talent. RIP Elvis
Morning Ray. I’m so very impressed and thrilled that you have learned in such a short time what this miraculous man is all about and especially being a man. It says a lot about the man you are that you can be so in tune with yourself as to be affected by the powerful message within the soul of Elvis Presley and his music and his life. He is his music, he is the message in each song, he is the phenomenally kind and generous, loving and caring human being that never forgot his own struggles and losses of his life thereby ALWAYS giving back!!!!!!!!! AGAIN ON BEHALF OF ELVIS I THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEVOTION, I APPRECIATE THAT YOU RECOGNIZE HIM FOR THE KIND OF PERSON HE WAS. !!!!!!!!! GIVE YOUR SELF A BREAK, RAY, TO BE TOUCHED BY HIM AS YOU HAVE BEEN SPEAKS VOLUMES ABOUT THE KIND OF MAN YOU ARE !!!!!!!!!!
I lost my best friend of 10 years. Not a day goes by that i don't think of him and miss him everyday. I love Elvis and always will. the big brother i never had, my confidant, and my heart. Awesome reaction Ray. Love to you and your family and thank you for helping everyone that loved Elvis and keeping his legacy alive. and i personally thank you as Elvis friend your love for him is sweet and heartfelt i can hear it in how you talk about him that you truly loved him and i thank you from the bottom of my forever broken heart. God bless you from the one and only Memphis Tn..
When Elvis sings he makes it look like he is singing directly to each one of us.. Who else does that today? Only one,, rising star from Republic Records, 17 year old Angelina Jordan. Many already call her the "Female Elvis" for her rendition of "Suspicious Minds" a Elvis hit.
BEAUTIFUL!!!!! THANK YOU RAY AND MISS HELENE ❤❤❤❤❤ YOU MADE HIM PROUD AND HE IS SMILING THAT SMILE JUST FOR YOU RAY....FACT!! MISS HELENE...WE CAN'T BEGIN TO THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR YOUR SUPPORT FOR OUR RAY. YES RAY YOU ARE " OUR RAY" NOW JUST LIKE ELVIS IS "OUR ELVIS" YOU HONORED HIM AND CELEBRATED HIM AND I THANK YOU WITH ALL MY HEART...❤ SENDING LOVE ❤❤ YOU DEFINITELY TCB⚡️
Gracias por tanto Elvis gracias gracias gracias muchas gracias celebro que seas parte de mi vida celebro poder escuchar sentir y disfrutar de tu voz maravillosa un don de nombre Elvis
During a hard time in my life, I used to listen to this song, over,and over with headphones. I would hear every breath intake, and every minute sound Elvis made during pauses. I still amaze at the vocal beauty, and spiritual energy he gave that song. Now, so many years later, many of his performances touch me the same way, but this one will always be special. Thank you for sharing!
I'm from South Carolina so I grew up listening to Elvis and watching his movies. As a matter of fact my Daddy introduced me to his music. Like it was yesterday. He was amazing❣️
My mother was 6 years younger than Elvis her and my aunties were fans from the beginning until their ending I have been listening to Elvis since the womb literally I was 8 years old when he passed I remember what I was doing and how I felt when I saw on the tv with my family he had passed and after all these years on this day I still feel that same way I have been a fan my whole life and will be until it's my time my birthday is the 6th his is the 8th but I completely understand what you mean about the feeling you have like you have personally known him your whole life and it goes beyond his looks his talent as a singer and actor I quit trying to understand it or explain it but I get you and I'm sure we aren't the only ones 💙❤💯
Elvis can surely feel the love you have for him, and would no doubt feel blessed by that depth of feeling you have for him. You're a good and decent man Ray. Peace, love and forever Elvis. Ronnie
Oooh, I have no words🥹🥹🥹🥹. One thing I want to say is that I am very glad that my little loving heart has merged into the ocean of love that Elvis receives from fans from all over the world, and until this ocean dries up, Elvis is alive.
Thank you for telling your feelings toward Elvis. I feel exactly the same. I'm from Tennessee and have always loved Him and tried to live and sang as he did knowing he was the only one that God gave this world with talent unparalleled. May God keep him in His arms.
What a beautiful way to start my day ... thank you , Ray , for loving this man and respecting his talent and , more importantly , his humanity ! TCB forever !
You’ll never walk alone takes me back to 16th august 1977 when it was played at the end of tv broadcasting in England. Gives me chills every time I hear it. What a man, what a voice , what an absolute gift from God he was. For us, he gave his all and like John Lennon said “before Elvis there was nothing “. Thank you for this reaction. I miss him, yet I never him. That’s a powerful impact to have on someone. He was truly a genius at his craft and that’s why he’s still loved and remembered 46 years on. God love him 💙
I have been a fan since birth. I was 13 when he died. It was like losing a family member. I am still not over his death. I listen to Elvis everyday. Now we have lost Lisa and that hit me hard as well. I loved her as if she was a family member too. Elvis sang Gospel music like no other. It’s his Gospel music that I prefer to listen to. He was a wonderful man. No one will ever compare to him, in looks, talent, charisma & style. He had it all.
Thank you Ray for this beautiful tribute. Elvis, like all of us, was only human. We all make mistakes, even Elvis. The one thing we do have in common is our love for God and Jesus. I tink think of Elvis as a disciple, showing and spreading the love and joy of Jesus. We can all be disciples. 🙏❤
I don't even know what to say, man. Miss Helene? Bueno! What a song! Ray? You're tryin to explain what we all feel,,, & it's next to impossible! lol You "know/get" him,, or you don't,,, & those not "getting" him,,, makes no sense to those who do! Your dad comment resonates with me bro! Great reaction young feller! Peace! 🖖😁
I loved this so much! You are such a real one. Us Elvis fan’s no matter what age, we have something in common and I think it’s soul! We appreciate him because of who he was as a person. And we appreciate you because real recognizes real! They alway’s say that Elvis was every Woman’s Dream of a Husband, he was every Mother’s dream of a Son, every Child’s Dream of a Father and idol. Ect. Rip to the King of all Music ELVIS ARON PRESLEY! 🙏❤️🙏❤️
Ray I honestly truly believe that Elvis has connected with you spiritually and knows everything you have done for him to keep his legacy alive. He's in you..a part of your soul. We thank you and all your hard wrk and dedication to this beautiful man. Love you Relvis!!
Elvis made us all want to be better people. We loved his talent but loved his heart more. Once an Elvis fan, always an Elvis fan, even now 46 years after his death.
You are so right. I love to see the Elvis reactions from the young people who gave him a chance and now see what they were missing. At this point I think he will never be forgotten. He is just getting bigger.. There will never be another entertainer that makes people feel so much love with just his presence. I am 68 and I became a fan when I was 6. I was looking for cartoons as a six year old and stumbled across Elvis on the tv screen. I never stopped loving this guy. He is an addiction like a really good drug...and it makes me feel good. Thanks for your videos. I am proud of you.
Hey R’Elvis, thank you for taking the time to make this wonderful tribute. Elvis was 100% U S MALE. A true patriot, served his country, loved his country and every one of his millions of fans. When he went to Germany, he was overwhelmed by all the love and support from German fans. Same when he visited Paris, same when he landed in Prestwick,Britain for a single hour, the fans heard he was there and flooded to see him. He always worried he’d be forgotten. On the 46th anniversary of his death, we are all seeing that he’s far from forgotten. He’s still an inspiration, he’s still holding his own in the music industry, cut throat at the best of times. 15,000 people were at his Vigil at Graceland. You have connected with Elvis because you are an intuitive and curious person who appreciates pure unadulterated talent and joy. It’s a joy to all of us old time Elvis Fans, who’ve loved him from the 50’s onwards, to see the new waves of all age groups, picking up the baton to keep his legacy to the world ,alive and relevant. Once an Elvis Fan, always an Elvis Fan!!! So although he was technically an American citizen, he is actually a gift to the whole world. He’d be humbled and proud and very happy to meet you. He always appreciated hard work, talented individuals and would be so happy to have inspired your work. 🙏👌💕🕺
Thank you so much for the tribute to Elvis. I remember the first time I saw your first reaction to Elvis. I have enjoyed your growth learning about Elvis. While you were learning about Elvis it helped me come to terms with the death of my grandson. Again thank you. ❤❤❤love Elvis RIP
Ray, Thank you Ray for this special Tribute video on the anniversary of Elvis's death. A very beautiful, and heartfelt presentation. Thank you Miss Helene for the amazing video choices. Thank you Ray for sharing all of Elvis's beautiful music & performances with all of us. Elvis is in Heaven looking down, with tears running down his cheeks, so overjoyed to see his music, and his beautiful message of love reaching so many generations of people. His music will live on forever!!!!!!!!!! God Bless You Ray, and Your Beautiful Family, Peace & Love, Tom, from Indiana

Pure Talent. No autotune. Nobody sang with more Passion, emotion or feeling than Elvis. Nobody.
قبل 46 عام فقدنا اعظم ايقونه في عالم الغناءوالموسيقا لكنه سيبقى خالدا في قلوب محبيه إلى الابد
Elvis Presley biggest achievement - He introduced me to you and vise versa. Billions of people around the world are united because of one human being... Elvis Presley.

Beautiful Tribute. Elvis’ Legacy of 46 years is now twice as long as his career of 23 years. ♥️
Love him always ❤. And you too Relvis 😄
Yes one man. Years later.
There is a connection. Yours may be stronger than some. Millions have loved him. Not just his singing& performing but him the man. Yes he had faults & everyone has heard about them with some more to boot.
Thanks for sharing Elvis was great person he brought car’s house and so much more ❤️I still miss him seeing him in person was the greatest thing I have seen ❤️❤️god bless you
As the song "If I could talk to Elvis"' says: "How do you miss someone you never met?"
How indeed, but we do.
I pray the younger generation that really wasn't brought up in his time will stick to it like millions have so far.
Yep I'm 18 and I'm from India 🇮🇳... but i can assure you Elvis Presley was the greatest entertainer ever in human history.... long live the king 👑⚡

Thank you Ray for your reactions of Elvis they are my stress relief and always bring ne a smile I'm glad to know how many people have been affected by him as I have.. God bless you and yours Ray!
It was the world & he never played outside the u.s. Canada 3 times. Thats really something.
Lovely tribute ❤
I want this song played at my funeral. It brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.
There will never be anyone like Elvis!❤
ELVIS~ no definition needed❤😊💐
It’s hard to believe Elvis has been gone longer than he was alive 😢
And still loved worldwide! ❤
Does anyone know of any other entertainer who people gather together for a tribute either 1 day or a week like we do for Elvis?? It has grown over the years to what it is today...Graceland is the 2nd most visited attraction in the U.S.A. second to the White House.

Great song. Paul wrote Bridge Over Troubled Water that both Elvis and Aretha covered. Paul praised Elvis's version.
Yep that’s right
😢 I miss him so much. He was my first idol and my first crush as a little girl. We lost one of the most incredible people and talents in the world far too soon.
I will forever cherish the memories of seeing him in concert twice at the age of 10/11. There's a big portrait and a bust of him in my living room. He will never be forgotten in this family.

"A connection that goes deeper than just the music"...
You got it exactly right. Whether you're from that first generation of fans, the current, newest generation of fans or everyone in between, we all feel that deeper connection with Elvis. And the more you know, the more you love him.
Ray, I've always said I feel certain that he would get a kick out of you & your sense of humor. I now feel certain that he'd fully appreciate the work you're doing & understand what you mean & what you say.
I also think that what you're describing, the feeling you have for Elvis, has to do with your tender heart.
Elvis had a tender heart & he would see that same trait in you. I believe he would recognize you as a kindred spirit. Regardless of time, place, dimension or plane of existence..he would recognize you.

Thank you so much for your words im glad that my message was clear i felt so much emotion in this one i didn't think the message was clear . Thank you for the love
I agree 100% .Both Elvis and Ray had / have a very true kind heart .Both try there upmost best to give everything to their fans .x
@vibereacts05 we love you Ray!! Elvis would absolutely love you! He had a great sense of humor and you would have him cracking up! He would've made you a member of the Memphis Mafia, and then have the kitchen whip up a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich for you.❤ ⚡️TCB
Thank you Relvis for this special presentation on the anniversary of Elvis’s death. His death always hits us to the man who inspired us and continues to do so. He loved gospel and knew he loved God. He loved us. That is what separates him from many . I’m not sure if all entertainers loved their fans as he did. Perhaps they do but I don’t appreciate their love. My granddaughters love him and saw Austin Butler play Elvis and learned about why he died, not how he died. They have been profoundly affected by his contribution to history and his sheer power and non deniable handsomeness. May you RIP Elvis ❤
I am in tears watching and listening to this gorgeous man and his gorgeous voice, but added to that is your precious reactions. The love and respect you have for Elvis, the man, his voice, his life, and everything about him is so touching and inspiring. I thank you for doing Elvis reactions and loving him like us fans who have loved him for decades. God bless you, Ray!
All I can say is THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND LOVE OF THE ONE AND ONLY ELVIS
Music is meant to touch people and Elvis touched me everytime...still does...
You are doing a great job with cheese on top of it!
❤️I love Elvis forever! RIP❤️
This show was amazing!💚
Thank you!🌞
Relvis good for you! Amen?
Thank you Ray!! I’m crying. Watched the Candlelight vigil at Graceland last night and it’s such a weird feeling. I cannot describe how I feel about Elvis as a man and his passing. It breaks my heart. But at the same time it’s so confusing as to how I feel and not even knowing Elvis. You cannot describe to anyone how it feels to be an Elvis fan but we all know, we all feel it inside us. Thanks Ray for all you do for this wonderful man and giving us all a platform to share 💙
Ray your grin is sweet , mischievous and adorable. The things you say and the way you conduct and communicate is priceless. You my friend are a peach of a fella. May you be blessed with happiness and good health. Great program today.
Yay!! I'm so happy you did this reaction. This song and his voice gives me chills in the best way. Nobody tops Elvis when it comes to singing gospel.
Ray , Thank you so much ! Everything you said was so beautiful & touching ! It’s hard to describe the feeling you get when Elvis comes into your life an you love him & see all the love he gave to not just his fans the whole world! My friend you have made Elvis proud ! He touched you & your heart! Your already a good man but there is nothing wrong with wanting to be like Elvis! If everyone in this world acted an had a lil bit of Elvis in them this world would be a better place! But this video was unforgettable you felt & fell what we all do you can’t explain it some people get it an others don’t! But Bravo Sir! Elvis will gladly meet you at the pearly gates when it your time with that beautiful grin he will say come on in Relvis give you a big hug an take your hand an say You’ll Never Walk Alone My Friend! Thank you again I’m so touched! God bless & take care . An most keep being you! Much love to you ,the family, an all the Vibe gang! Thanks Miss Helene ! 😍👑❤️🙏
@ElvisChick-if9nc Beautiful words
@@recipe1953 Thank you some much & your very sweet! 💞😍👑❤️
Ray u are fantastic person Elvis would be proud to call u a friend love you and elvis
Great reaction😊 Elvis played the piano for this song "You'll never walk alone"
He made you feel spiritual especially with his gospel music.
There will never be another Elvis! I am and always will be an Elvis Fan! ❤❤🎉❤ He touched us like no one else does! Our Legend, Our King of Music!
somethings feelings can not be explained elvis touched billions of people I hope you get to Graceland the emotion that takes you over is unbelievable
My all time favorite song by Elvis ,he is playing that piano ,when he sings this song he makes you feel that there is hope in your heart ,and soul
Thanks for reacting to the music and videos and performances from the KING… Your doing God’s work bro 😎👍❤️🙏🇺🇸🔥👑🎤
He is magic and there is no other explanation. He was not a saint but he was a special man. He knew he was sick and didn't stop because he didn't want to let his fans down. He had a work ethic that was like his generation. He was never above others he wanted to friends and family. He felt he had to be a success for his family and his twin brother. He never stop believing in God and country. He would give you the shirt off his back. He was a good soldier and American. Thank you for this wonderful tribute.
Ray, this was beautiful. Your words resonated with me, and probably everyone else, the connection we feel with Elvis is profound and unexplainable. He was a bright light that shone like no other, and I believe people with good hearts recognized his beautiful spirit and were drawn to him in that way. He was a compassionate, kind, and generous man, we should all try to emulate him more. RIP, dear Elvis, I sure hope to shake your hand in heaven one day.
We love our Elvis..always will ❤❤❤❤ great tribute Ray ❤
Ray, you did Elvis and yourself proud tonight. I will cherish this reaction for the rest of my days❤❤❤
Im glad you enjoyed it auntie helene , i luv ya 😊
@@vibereacts05❤❤❤
Amen Amen Amen my my God what a voice and emotion. Ray
Sometimes i love you
Watched the Graveland vigil and just really was hard to watch. They played his music during his ceremony.
Been a fan since i was 12 yrs old and i still listen to Elvis every day, usually when I'm falling asleep. He makes me feel relaxed, and i forget my worries. I absolutely love him! He was the most special human being!
Everything Elvis sings is great. I can listen to him all day, all night and never get tired.
I am starting to see a lot of the younger people that wasn't even born back in his era and I love that they are finding his music and keeping his name,voice and legacy alive and spreading it out to their people,never let his name die,thank you ,I cry everytime I listen to your chanel about him ,I have always felt that he was family and know he's here with us celebrating him everyday
I’m rewatching all your reactions of Elvis because I get it. I feel that connection also and I can’t explain it. I just remembered the day he died. I felt a piece of me died that day too. The world stood still that day & I couldn’t wait to get home from work so I could bawl my eyes out. I was a Nurse, age 25 & I could not believe it. What a sad, sad day that was. They wouldn’t allow us to tell our Cardiac patients in case they became too emotional, so I had to pretend nothing was wrong and allowed their families to tell them. I have a 6 foot Elvis in his leather standing up in my room. I look at him and smile every time except the day Lisa Marie died. That day I cried like a baby thinking he lost his baby & then I recalled they were together. May they both RIP. God bless you Ray and Elvis too. ❤❤❤😊🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🌹🌹🎸🕺🏻🎸🕺🏻🎤🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️
One of the joys of my day is to come find you in the evenings. To have watched the progression of your admiration and love for Elvis, your quest for knowledge and your willingness to take the time and dive deeper into the complexities of Elvis has been inspirational to watch. Your reactions have made me smile, laugh out loud and cry. I appreciate your willingness to be vulnerable to us, and, speaking for myself, we love you for it. It is also a joy to have found a number of other reactors, including the very young ones, who are discovering Elvis and spreading the word that this man STILL has something to say to us, and to teach us about ourselves. Thanks Ray, and Thanks EP, for everything.
You know Ray, I grew up listening to his music and watching his performances and took it all for granted at the time. People like you who discovered this man late & appreciate his talent and him as a human being make me feel how lucky I was back then. Thanks.
Thanks for this video of Elvis Presley and remembering him on this day we will never forget. Elvis Presley forever ❤
God bless you! I love Elvis, Peridot! His gospel is amazing!
Please protect Elvis's legacy 🗣️...im begging you Americans 🙏🏻🙇🏻♂️
Ray, you truly did find Elvis's heart yesterday. ❤️ I am an old man but did have the pleasure of singing along on my radio with him in the time he was alive. You are absolutely right about how incredible after 46 years, his legacy still touches the young people not even knowing his talent. RIP Elvis
Morning Ray. I’m so very impressed and thrilled that you have learned in such a short time what this miraculous man is all about and especially being a man. It says a lot about the man you are that you can be so in tune with yourself as to be affected by the powerful message within the soul of Elvis Presley and his music and his life. He is his music, he is the message in each song, he is the phenomenally kind and generous, loving and caring human being that never forgot his own struggles and losses of his life thereby ALWAYS giving back!!!!!!!!!
AGAIN ON BEHALF OF ELVIS I THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEVOTION, I APPRECIATE THAT YOU RECOGNIZE HIM FOR THE KIND OF PERSON HE WAS. !!!!!!!!!
GIVE YOUR SELF A BREAK, RAY, TO BE TOUCHED BY HIM AS YOU HAVE BEEN SPEAKS VOLUMES ABOUT THE KIND OF MAN YOU ARE !!!!!!!!!!
I lost my best friend of 10 years. Not a day goes by that i don't think of him and miss him everyday. I love Elvis and always will. the big brother i never had, my confidant, and my heart. Awesome reaction Ray. Love to you and your family and thank you for helping everyone that loved Elvis and keeping his legacy alive. and i personally thank you as Elvis friend your love for him is sweet and heartfelt i can hear it in how you talk about him that you truly loved him and i thank you from the bottom of my forever broken heart. God bless you from the one and only Memphis Tn..
When Elvis sings he makes it look like he is singing directly to each one of us.. Who else does that today? Only one,, rising star from Republic Records, 17 year old Angelina Jordan. Many already call her the "Female Elvis" for her rendition of "Suspicious Minds" a Elvis hit.
I wish Angelina would sing this song at her upcoming concert in Portsmouth NH on Sept. 22, 2023.
BEAUTIFUL!!!!! THANK YOU RAY AND MISS HELENE ❤❤❤❤❤
YOU MADE HIM PROUD AND HE IS SMILING THAT SMILE JUST FOR YOU RAY....FACT!!
MISS HELENE...WE CAN'T BEGIN TO THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR YOUR SUPPORT FOR OUR RAY.
YES RAY YOU ARE " OUR RAY" NOW JUST LIKE ELVIS IS "OUR
ELVIS"
YOU HONORED HIM AND CELEBRATED HIM AND I THANK YOU WITH ALL MY HEART...❤
SENDING LOVE ❤❤ YOU DEFINITELY TCB⚡️
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Special man,special fans❤❤❤
if he was alive today then maybe he would finally get the chance to travel overseas outside of the USA so that we could hear him live
I love your reactions to Elvis' music and also the human being. Imagine having that feeling for 68 years as I have.
It's beyond his music he was a humanitarian he was an amazing g human ❤️ ♥️ 💛
Gracias por tanto Elvis gracias gracias gracias muchas gracias celebro que seas parte de mi vida celebro poder escuchar sentir y disfrutar de tu voz maravillosa un don de nombre Elvis
Oh for sure almost every reactor I’ve seen…and I’ve seen many..always has Elvis playlist. But you are on top of the list Ray
During a hard time in my life, I used to listen to this song, over,and over with headphones. I would hear every breath intake, and every minute sound Elvis made during pauses. I still amaze at the vocal beauty, and spiritual energy he gave that song. Now, so many years later, many of his performances touch me the same way, but this one will always be special. Thank you for sharing!
I'm from South Carolina so I grew up listening to Elvis and watching his movies. As a matter of fact my Daddy introduced me to his music. Like it was yesterday. He was amazing❣️
My mother was 6 years younger than Elvis her and my aunties were fans from the beginning until their ending I have been listening to Elvis since the womb literally I was 8 years old when he passed I remember what I was doing and how I felt when I saw on the tv with my family he had passed and after all these years on this day I still feel that same way I have been a fan my whole life and will be until it's my time my birthday is the 6th his is the 8th but I completely understand what you mean about the feeling you have like you have personally known him your whole life and it goes beyond his looks his talent as a singer and actor I quit trying to understand it or explain it but I get you and I'm sure we aren't the only ones 💙❤💯
Elvis can surely feel the love you have for him, and would no doubt feel blessed by that depth of feeling you have for him. You're a good and decent man Ray. Peace, love and forever Elvis. Ronnie
All his fans feela deep connection with him, we feel like we personally know him ❤❤❤❤
Elvis the 👑
And you Ray will never walk alone, I will be limping behind you in spirit🎉
I appreciate u mike
Oooh, I have no words🥹🥹🥹🥹. One thing I want to say is that I am very glad that my little loving heart has merged into the ocean of love that Elvis receives from fans from all over the world, and until this ocean dries up, Elvis is alive.
Thank you for bringing Elvis back to everyone! I was fortunate to grow up on Elvis's music, and I still listen to his music even though I am 71!
This one of my favorite gospel song. Thank you for all you do to keep his Legacy alive.
Thank you for telling your feelings toward Elvis. I feel exactly the same. I'm from Tennessee and have always loved Him and tried to live and sang as he did knowing he was the only one that God gave this world with talent unparalleled. May God keep him in His arms.
"If I Could Talk To Elvis" highly recommend, especially with this being the 46th Anniversary ♥️ great vid as always
What a beautiful way to start my day ... thank you , Ray , for loving this man and respecting his talent and , more importantly , his humanity ! TCB forever !
You’ll never walk alone takes me back to 16th august 1977 when it was played at the end of tv broadcasting in England. Gives me chills every time I hear it. What a man, what a voice , what an absolute gift from God he was. For us, he gave his all and like John Lennon said “before Elvis there was nothing “. Thank you for this reaction. I miss him, yet I never him. That’s a powerful impact to have on someone. He was truly a genius at his craft and that’s why he’s still loved and remembered 46 years on. God love him 💙
I have been a fan since birth. I was 13 when he died. It was like losing a family member. I am still not over his death. I listen to Elvis everyday. Now we have lost Lisa and that hit me hard as well. I loved her as if she was a family member too. Elvis sang Gospel music like no other. It’s his Gospel music that I prefer to listen to. He was a wonderful man. No one will ever compare to him, in looks, talent, charisma & style. He had it all.
Thank you Ray for this beautiful tribute. Elvis, like all of us, was only human. We all make mistakes, even Elvis. The one thing we do have in common is our love for God and Jesus. I tink think of Elvis as a disciple, showing and spreading the love and joy of Jesus. We can all be disciples. 🙏❤
I don't even know what to say, man.
Miss Helene? Bueno!
What a song!
Ray? You're tryin to explain what we all feel,,, & it's next to impossible! lol
You "know/get" him,, or you don't,,, & those not "getting" him,,, makes no sense to those who do!
Your dad comment resonates with me bro!
Great reaction young feller!
Peace!
🖖😁
nice tribute 👏 👏 nice drip
I loved this so much! You are such a real one. Us Elvis fan’s no matter what age, we have something in common and I think it’s soul! We appreciate him because of who he was as a person. And we appreciate you because real recognizes real! They alway’s say that Elvis was every Woman’s Dream of a Husband, he was every Mother’s dream of a Son, every Child’s Dream of a Father and idol. Ect. Rip to the King of all Music ELVIS ARON PRESLEY! 🙏❤️🙏❤️
Nicely said. One of a kind who transcends music!
Ray I honestly truly believe that Elvis has connected with you spiritually and knows everything you have done for him to keep his legacy alive. He's in you..a part of your soul. We thank you and all your hard wrk and dedication to this beautiful man. Love you Relvis!!
Great reaction Relvis, you do amazing work on keeping Elvis alive
Elvis made us all want to be better people. We loved his talent but loved his heart more. Once an Elvis fan, always an Elvis fan, even now 46 years after his death.
Beautiful tribute Welcome to our club ❤
You are so right. I love to see the Elvis reactions from the young people who gave him a chance and now see what they were missing. At this point I think he will never be forgotten. He is just getting bigger.. There will never be another entertainer that makes people feel so much love with just his presence. I am 68 and I became a fan when I was 6. I was looking for cartoons as a six year old and stumbled across Elvis on the tv screen. I never stopped loving this guy. He is an addiction like a really good drug...and it makes me feel good. Thanks for your videos. I am proud of you.
Hey R’Elvis, thank you for taking the time to make this wonderful tribute. Elvis was 100% U S MALE. A true patriot, served his country, loved his country and every one of his millions of fans. When he went to Germany, he was overwhelmed by all the love and support from German fans. Same when he visited Paris, same when he landed in Prestwick,Britain for a single hour, the fans heard he was there and flooded to see him. He always worried he’d be forgotten. On the 46th anniversary of his death, we are all seeing that he’s far from forgotten. He’s still an inspiration, he’s still holding his own in the music industry, cut throat at the best of times. 15,000 people were at his Vigil at Graceland. You have connected with Elvis because you are an intuitive and curious person who appreciates pure unadulterated talent and joy. It’s a joy to all of us old time Elvis Fans, who’ve loved him from the 50’s onwards, to see the new waves of all age groups, picking up the baton to keep his legacy to the world ,alive and relevant. Once an Elvis Fan, always an Elvis Fan!!! So although he was technically an American citizen, he is actually a gift to the whole world. He’d be humbled and proud and very happy to meet you. He always appreciated hard work, talented individuals and would be so happy to have inspired your work. 🙏👌💕🕺
Thank you so much for the tribute to Elvis. I remember the first time I saw your first reaction to Elvis. I have enjoyed your growth learning about Elvis. While you were learning about Elvis it helped me come to terms with the death of my grandson. Again thank you. ❤❤❤love Elvis RIP
Ray, Thank you Ray for this special Tribute video on the anniversary of Elvis's death. A very beautiful, and heartfelt presentation. Thank you Miss Helene for the amazing video choices. Thank you Ray for sharing all of Elvis's beautiful music & performances with all of us. Elvis is in Heaven looking down, with tears running down his cheeks, so overjoyed to see his music, and his beautiful message of love reaching so many generations of people. His music will live on forever!!!!!!!!!! God Bless You Ray, and Your Beautiful Family, Peace & Love, Tom, from Indiana
Thank you ray for all you do for us Elvis fans you are 1 top top man ❤
You are one hell of a man to admit, ( like myself) your true feelings to the one and only ELVIS. May he R.I.P ❤
Thank you Ray for honoring our idol and also your idol so much with your kind and beautiful words.
