The end is bittersweet. He was such a treasure to the world. Looking so forward to all the live performances! Elvis live is everything! Beautiful song as always! ❤
Seph, it does make you sad seeing him at the end, but it is also beautiful, how he gave his all to his fans, how he loved performing so much, it makes you appreciate him so much more. ❤
JD Sumner hit Low C's and D --- Lisa Marie remembers her Dad recording at Graceland - She said she can still hear the music -- Anyone read Lisa's Memoir / Audio - Wow She went through so much - I couldn't even believe it made me cry so much ---- and How Priscilla treated her is disgustingggg --------------- LOVE THIS SONG TSOOO EXCITED FOR THE REST OF YOUR FUTURE CONENT!!!!!! HANKS SEPH --- *LOVE YOU ALWAYS ELVIS AARON PRESLEY*
This was originally recorded by Olivia Newton John. She showed up at one of his concerts and was surprised to hear him sing this song plus another one titled Let Me Be There.
SEPH ARE GOING TO GET YOUR TOP 10... AT THE END??? I CAN'T DO IT.. I THINK YOU SHOULD PICK A FAVORITE ONE IN HIS FIRST FIVE YEARS.. AND SO ON.. BECAUSE TIME CHANGED SO FAST OF MUSIC.. GOOD IDEA 😊 WE WILL BE HERE NO MATTER.. YOU'VE BEEN GREAT 😊THANK YOU FOR YOU'VE DONE, YOUR CONVERSATION GREAT.💞
This was originally done by Olivia Newton-John, a fact which he mentions in one of his live performances before he sings it. He also introduces the song in one live performance by saying it's called: 'If You Love (Me Let Me Know)' and if you don't then move it 😀😀
I love this one, such a happy song, and I look forward to all the marvellous Elvis thingies still awaiting us. Well done for seeing the chronological order through! I cried when I first saw Elvis live in 1977, but now I just want to hug him.
Omg- sooooooo excited for your live reactions. Hope you do the rehearsals too. There the best because its raw and fun to watch the interactions with the band. Hope you also check out Elvis...King of Kindness and 200 Cadillacs and The National Archives sit down When Elvis and Nixon met. ❤ TCB ⚡👑 This song is a BANGER BANGER all day long in my book. Great vibe and reminds me of my mom.
There is a live concert version in 1977 of Elvis doing How Great Thou Art…..his voice was so awesome and powerful! Hard to believe that his health was failing, just by hearing it.
You're right sir. But there's LOADS of versions of this 'LIVE' going back to mid 1974! Elvis obviously had Olivia's N0.1 US album with the same title!🥰
There's actually a lot more GREAT 'LIVE' versions of this song, going on to June 21st 1977 AND BACK as far as 1974! Looking forward to your reactions to All those Seph, as THIS in my opinion is a catchy and REALLY WELL WRITTEN song with GREAT GUITAR by James Burton and 'tender' drumming by Ronnie Tutt. This performance was 'live' on April 25th 1977 and The Elvis ALWAYS sang this song Very well 'LIVE.'🥰
I can't even put into words how much I've enjoyed your Elvis journey up to this point. Thank you, Seph!!! I'm so ready to keep following you down this amazing path of exploration. I realize you have tons of people telling you how to do things, but here goes anyway with my two suggestions: You watched the "Mary in the Morning" rehearsal from 1970 but only heard a snippet of the song. Could you do a full listen to it? This sounds depressing, but I think you would get a lot out of reading "Destined To Die Young" by Sally A. Hoedel. It really puts Elvis' life in perspective. Ms. Hoedel did a lot of research as evidenced by her 32 pages of references at the end of the book. There are also posts on her website and Facebook page about the book as well as interviews she did with various radio and tv stations. Conclusion: Elvis Presley loved being Elvis Presley! Your channel....your choice. I'm here for whatever you dive into next.
Steph dump the list it's only based on your opinion and if you still have one track heart in your top s rank it's not worth much in my opinion sorry but your never gonna please everyone what's more you didn't put Loving Arms in your top rank and that's my all time favourite I have it on nearly all my play lists
Hey Seph! You'll find it's a lot of Charlie Hodge singing 'harmony' with The Elvis through this one that means you can't hear Elvis so well, it's only the choruses where JD Sumner steps in! Anyway I and many others I think you'll find disagree with you on this one as it's a song that 'stays inside your head' and the lyrics are wonderful! Along with 'Let Me Be There' which you've reacted to before THIS was another gem wriitten and composed by the legendary late bass guitarist John Rostill of The Shadows AND was a N0.1 single and album WITH THE SAME TITLE for Olivia Newton John in America. One of the first great 'country' songs that launched Olivia's career around the world. I feel really priviledged to own 3 John Rostill autographs and 1 by Olivia!🥰
@SephPlays I can't remember seeing your reaction to "Guadalajara". Or "The Lady Loves Me". Actually there are some others I haven't seen you react to. Ooh...idea.... is it possible for you to store the videos you've done into those groups? Then it's easier to look through to see which ones I've missed, or would like to see🤗❣️
as i start to react to the movies i'll make a dedicated playlist of them plus all the songs from that movie i've already reacted too "That wasn't removed" Should make it easier to find the songs you are looking for :D
@SephPlays Aww cool! Thanks Seph. I hope you were able to get to the Elvis exhibition in London? If not I believe there is another being put on somewhere. If you do go would you make a video about it please? 🥰🤗💖
You're right, Seph - the audio could have been better. Felton Jarvis was desperate for new or interesting material to complete the 'Moody Blue' album. With Elvis not rushing to record and RCA considering all the costs of hauling equipment around, Jarvis bought a 4-track (or was 8-track?) tape reorder to record Elvis on stage to find something he could add to the album. Other musicians then overdubbed tracks in the studio, and so the instruments overdubbed make the audio sound better than heard on the basic recording. There's a few more of these live recordings that were included on the 'Moody Blue' album.
Some songs you missed : Britches, A cane and a high starched collar, Dark moon, Happy happy birthday, He, Hearts of stone, Husky dusky day, I asked the Lord, I can't help it, Nearer my God to Thee, Tumbling tumbleweeds, Tweedle dee, Until then, Wasted years, When the swallows come back to Capistrano, Write to me from Naples, Black Star, I wonder, If I loved you, It's no fun being lonely, Just a closer walk with Thee, Mary Lou Brown, Maybellene, Mona Lisa, Portrait of my love, San Antonio Rose, Show me Thy ways, Sweet Leilani, Sweet inspiration, This time, The titles will tell, Young and beautiful (1972).
@@jjbud3124 This is true. It will be better for Seph to start on the amazing 'live' performances throughout Elvis life next (especially between January 12th 1973 and June 26th 1977) than some 'largely not as good as' and sometimes very short movie songs and others he may not yet have reacted to.🥰
JJ is right on this one Tim. I have already reacted to all the songs you have on that list you made, But all of them + about 400 other videos have been deleted/removed for copyright violations. Only songs that i haven't heard are a small handful from 73 and a couple of 76 and 77. and one from 72 and 75. Once i listen to the last song from 1977 i'll be making a video showing my Elvis list and also making it public so everyone can look at it more closely. So thank you ever so much for actually taking the time and writing out this list Tim it really means a lot, I can't imagine how much time that must have taken and i really do appreciate it
Please react to the 1961 Pearl Harbor Benefit Show. The audio is not great, but it's arguably the greatest recorded Elvis concert along with the 8/12/70 performance from Vegas.
@@kathifielder1110 Wow! He did a GREAT performance then! I 'love' the 'very different' version of 'Hound Dog' at the Pearl Harbor concert. Really cool.🥰
This is a live recording, of course the sound will be different to a studio recording! E rank? You'll forget this one? 😮 This is an amazing version, he sounds wonderful, powerful vocals. Sometimes I don't understand your reasoning. 🤔
I heard an interview with her once, where She said she was in the audience one time when Elvis sang this, she couldn't believe he mentioned her name, she loved Elvis ❤
His second Olivia Newton-John cover song, I like this version. I strongly recommend listening to Olivia's Country album, it's on TH-cam. About skipping songs bc of copyright, what's the difference doing reactions to them in the future instead of now?🤔
A few months back SME had some kind of a meltdown here on TH-cam and started to block videos instead of Claim them. It effected thousands of TH-camrs including myself. BUT from recent messages i have seen i think this issue has been sorted. So in the next few weeks i'm going to try the songs that were blocked again, If they go through then i'll react to them🤞
Aw Seph, copywrite is a big pain and I don't know why. It should fall under fair use. I like this one a lot. It kind of sounds like a gospel number, good old country song.
@@SephPlays Holy Cow. That's ridiculous. You can find every single Elvis song already on TH-cam. It doesn't make sense, and you are certainly following the fair use rules.
@@jjbud3124 I pause so much and talk throughout it and often right over it but I still get blocked. I'm surely one of the most fair use reactors on youtube yet I still have massive problems 😭
@@SephPlays I just had a thought that might help? Maybe don't react to the entire song. Cut out parts that are less interesting (if you can find them) and don't play the entire song. Remove a chorus or two? Not sure if that would do anything at all - just an idea.
----------- Better than the original (Oliva Newton John). Had RCA released this before her, Elvis would have racked up yet another #1 song. He simply did it that well.
@@SephPlays You reacted to the version from 1966. He re-recorded Love Letters in 1970, which was released on the album 'Love Letters from Elvis' in 71. Everything Elvis did in 1970 was incredible, so this version is superior IMHO 🙂
@@SephPlays Another killer song that he re-recorded is 'It Hurts Me'. I don't see where you reacted to either. It was first recorded in 1966, then re-recorded for the 68 Comeback Special. The 68 version is AMAZING! While I'm at it, 'Let Yourself Go' was included in the awful Speedway soundtrack, then re-recorded for the 68 special. Another absolutely killer version. I don't see where you reacted to either of these songs as well. BTW, as a lifelong Elvis fan, really love what you're doing to honor him, thanks!
This is my first time hearing Elvis's version of this song. Olivia Newton-John had a hit with this in 1974. The mix of this live performance is a bit rough. Elvis's vocals are too low as you pointed out, and his backing singers are way too high. I knew instantly that this wouldn't be acceptable to you.
You made me second guess myself on this one for a second Mandy haha But no i consulted my list and this was indeed the first time i have heard this one :D
He never lost his outstanding vocals,and that lovely smile never left him,amazing song,ELVIS FOREVER.😊❤❤
The end is bittersweet. He was such a treasure to the world. Looking so forward to all the live performances! Elvis live is everything! Beautiful song as always! ❤
Elvis ALWAYS SOUNDS GOOD. He always did until his last breath.❤ Elvis. Thank you!

Great to hear about your future plans. We do always love our Elvis!
Thanks seph love your reactions. Can't wait.
I love this song ❤
This song is live
Such a nice pop song that Elvis put his own vibe on - he must have liked ONJ as this is the second of her hits that he covered ⭐💛⚡

This song is a BANGER BANGER all day long in my book. Great vibe and reminds me of my mom.
I'm still waiting for " Love me tender" live in Vegas ❤
@@sherrisee3752 the May 6th 1975 'live' version from Murfreesboro' Tennessee of 'Love me Tender' was also great!🥰
There is a live concert version in 1977 of Elvis doing How Great Thou Art…..his voice was so awesome and powerful! Hard to believe that his health was failing, just by hearing it.
If you love me let me know and if you don’t, move it…. (In concert 1977)
Yes it’s live. As far as I know this one was never recorded in a studio.

Elvis is best live so I'm looking forward to your live reaction videos
Say it isn't sooooooo Seph. I know i know. Its unfortunate that his music stopped. But like always, we enjoy hearing them over and over again.
Excited about future reactions. I am on board for anything and everything. Thanks, Seph!!❤❤❤

I CAN’t Wait❤
Fire 🔥🔥🔥
Oh I love this one! I love the live version from his concert in Memphis
We seriously need to have a discussion about these rankings.
I'm going to look at my list and rearrange it in the very near future as some of the older songs were definitely ranked too low
