    Elvis was the King of Rock and Roll. He made Country albums and Gospel albums and they were all amazing. When I was a kid, my dad would put on an Elvis Gospel album full volume to wake us up for church on Sunday morning. The man was one of a kind and could do it all.

    It’s appropriate that you say he sounded operatic because this song is based on the Opera song O Sole Mio. It’s the same tune but Elvis jazzed it up and changed the lyrics. That’s why Luciano Pavarotti admired Elvis.

    This Elvis classic borrows the chord progression as well as the melody from the Italian song "O Sole Mio," which was first recorded by Giuseppe Anselmi in 1907. Mario Lanza popularized the song, and Tony Martin released the first English translation as "There's No Tomorrow" in 1949.
    In this song, Elvis is making a passion play, telling his darling it must be tonight, for tomorrow will be too late. There's nothing explicit in the song, but it's obvious what he's after.
    Delivered by average Joe, the romance-novel-grade lyrics would sound silly, but Elvis could pull off lines like:
    Your lips excite me
    Let your arms invite me
    For who knows when
    We'll meet again this way

      Another great song Elvis did that was adapted from an old Italian song was "Surrender," which came from a 1902 song called "Torna a Surriento" ("Come Back to Sorrento," an English version of which had already been recorded by Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin). Elvis wanted an updated, more uptempo version of "Torna a Surriento" to be his follow-up to the massive success of "It's Now Or Never," so he/his music publisher asked Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman to write it.
      Interestingly (and humorously, in hindsight), even though Pomus and Schuman shared writing credit for "Surrender," Pomus's biographer Alex Halberstadt said that Shuman wanted nothing to do with the song. He's reported to have said, "Why should I want to write for some redneck idiot who wants to sound like Mario Lanza?" and chose to sit it out, leaving Doc Pomus to write it himself. Even then, Pomus treated it as a throwaway song, sticking to a near homonym of the title and not really thinking much about it after he sent off the demo. According to Halberstadt, "the whole thing smacked of mediocrity."
      "Surrender" was recorded late in the evening, in the middle of a marathon session that also produced Elvis's gospel LP "His Hand in Mine." Halberstadt goes on to say that, Pomus - who'd seen "Surrender" as just another job - "could hardly believe that Stuart Hamblen's 'Known Only to Him,' a sublime performance that inflamed Elvis's voice with what sounded like true religious epiphany, was recorded on the same night that yielded 'Surrender's' Neapolitan glitz." After treating the song like a throwaway, Pomus was apparently humbled by the result and had to admit that Elvis was a songwriter's dream. As Halberstadt put it, "Presley imbued 'Surrender' with sly humor and an almost maniacal ardor, transforming it into a dramatic showcase for his genuinely amazing chops.... He could make a mediocre song distinctive, make a good one great, and make a great one indelible. When he wanted to, he sang anything-from spirituals to novelty pop-brilliantly, finding just the right emotional shading."
      And, of course, validating this feeling is that "Surrender" went on to become yet another huge hit for Elvis, his fifth straight #1 single and his 12th #1 single at that point. Despite their initial feelings about the song and their underestimation of Elvis, "Surrender" boosted both the reputations and bank accounts of Pomus and Shuman, cemented them as "favorite writers" for Elvis, and put them in a position to be earning close to $50k/year which would have been unimaginable for them just a year earlier.

    Elvis was really evolving and proving he was an artist. He was having trouble getting the ending of the song in one take. He was offered an easy out by combining previous takes of the song. Elvis was said to have responded with something like, "if I can't sing it then we won't do it at all." I love the truth in his singing. No doubt he nailed it!

    My mother was one of the many teenagers who fell in love with Elvis during his breakthrough in the 195o's. As a young black girl, she and her sisters sat around the radio to listen to him sing everytime one of his songs played. They wouldn't speak, just listen. Afterwards, they would talk about how purty he was and how they wanted marry him. Even my Grandmother understood the sway of his magnificent voice. She told me stories about how this was one of my mothers favorite songs. That he made the enormous impression that he did during those early years of rock-n-roll to some many people of all colors, to follow in his footsteps led to social, cultural, and musical changes that literally shook and shaped the world. I remember how the news of his death on August 16, 1977 also shook the world. And despite the fact he unable to handle his personal problems, those us that were alive when he lived have fond memories of him. My mother loved his gospel records best. She played them every Sunday in her declining years. His voice gave her comfort. And she is with him in Heaven now. Which gives me comfort. May they both rest in peace.

    The filming in this video was done on Elvis’ return to America, after being drafted into the army for two years in 1958 ….at the height of his global superstardom. This song was his best selling single, & eventually sold a staggering 25 million records worldwide. It’s still probably one of the most popular Elvis songs. It came from an Italian opera song O Sole Mio, & Elvis got a couple of songwriters to write words that Americans could relate to, in a love story. He was told that because of the high note at the end, he would not be able to sing it in the same way as the original Italian song, but Elvis spent many months training his voice to hit that high note. Elvis actually had a baritone voice, but he could drop down into the upper range of Bass, & easily go up into the Tenor range too, so his vocals covered considerably more than most singers, & he did manage to hit that high note at the end, & even popped in an even higher note towards the end of the high note, taking him into the vocal range of an opera singer.

      Also, the song is titled “It’s Now or Never,” as in, “IF it’s going to happen it needs to happen NOW” … because the song came out 1959/1960 for whatever to happen to exist in 1950s 😀

    This was Elvis Presley number one hit coming out of the US army. Brilliant song.
    American singer and actor Elvis Presley served in the United States Army from 1958 to 1960. At the time of his enlistment, he was widely regarded as the most well-known name in the world of entertainment.
    In 1960, "It's Now or Never" was a number-one record in the U.S. for Elvis Presley, spending five weeks at number one and the UK, where it spent eight weeks at the top in 1960 and an additional week at number one in 2005 as a re-issue, and numerous other countries, selling in excess of 20 million physical copies worldwide, Elvis Presley's biggest international single ever. Its British release was delayed for some time because of rights issues, allowing the song to build up massive advance orders and to enter the UK Singles Chart at number one, a very rare occurrence at the time. "It's Now or Never" peaked at number seven on the R&B charts.

    That's just precious 🤩!! You came THIS CLOSE to being The King's father and mother-in-law's. 🥰 I was introduced to Elvis at around her age, too, by my grandmother. She babysat for me a lot, and she would play all these amazing artists. A lot of Loretta Lynn, she and grandpa took me to see "Coal Miners Daughter". I also got her autobiography and the soundtrack, and I decided I should have a southern accent. We're from a little town in Kansas. Later on they took me to see "Sweet Dreams", introduced me to Patsy Cline. Got the book and soundtrack, and again tried the accent. My grandmother was one of a kind, and so much fun. I got the opportunity to introduce her to some of my music, and then she started to buy the records again, The Stray Cats, Queen, (BTW, she loved Freddie Mercury's "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and that he sounded like he had some Elvis style in that song. I agree, you guys would love it!), John Mellencamp, (spell??), Aerosmith, The Beastie Boys, Bon Jovi. Prince was one of her all time favorites. Plus the "newer style" of country music. We both adored Reba, Trisha Yearwood, Garth Brooks, Kenny Rogers, Alan Jackson, Brad Paisley, and George Straight. Thank you for letting us into your world, and for being so positive. It's great to share music with friends and family, and when I started watching reaction channels, it's just been such a joy to see people find all these amazing songs and branching out to other genres as well. When you share something like music, books, and favorite movies, with friends and family, and even if you don't personally know you great reactors out there, it feels like the happiness and anticipation you get watching someone you care about opening a present you just know they will love. Take care guys!

I remember when I told my Mom that he died, she didn't believe me, told me to stop messing around. Then she heard the news that he died......she cried. He was a wonderful man.

He is so versatile and just so great. He recorded over 700 songs, so you guys still have plenty of great Elvis to react to! Keep on that Elvis journey. You will not be disappointed! Also you might react to The a movie clip of Trouble Russwood Park, from the new Elvis movie. It has Austin Butler portraying Elvis in a 1956 concert.

    When I saw you were reacting to Elvis again, I couldn't click the button fast enough! This man is the legend of legends! Elvis could sing anyone's song, from any genre, and absolutely nail it and make it better! He was the greatest crooner, the greatest hipster, the greatest Rock n Roll, the greatest blues, the greatest gospel, and the greatest country singer to ever have lived! If he had been a rapper, he would have been the best at that, too!
    There is a reason he is the most imitated singer of all time, had the most books and articles written about him, the most movies about his life, and even to this day makes the girls go weak in the knees and the guys get jealous with envy. He was masculine, kind, genuine, honest and just an all around classy guy. I honestly believe that after Jesus, Elvis was the greatest man to ever live.
    You really need to start reacting to some of his 33 movies. They are so much fun and have great songs, and show just how cool this man was.
    And if you want to hear the most powerful performance ever done by any singer, listen to How Great Thou Art! You can almost hear the angels in Heaven join in as he's singing.
    I have been an Elvis superfan for 50 years, since I first heard him as a young child. No other musical artist comes anywhere remotely close to ELVIS!
