This was the first show I ever saw Elvis on. I was blown away. Having to listen to homogenized singers like Patti Page, Perry Como, and others, I knew music would never be the same again. With Bill Black slappin' the hell outta that base and Scotty Moore with great guitar pickin', Elvis saved Rock!
@@ronniechilds2002 What was also good about Elvis was that he wasn't really vain. Elvis and Marylin Monroe were once asked about their most beautiful experiences in their lives. Elvis replied that during his time in Germany he had a landlady who always ironed his laundry and laid it out neatly; he had very fond memories of her. Monroe remembered a bread seller who spoke to her in a completely normal and natural way. So both stars mentioned simple people with hearts.
@@gutermonddugehstsostille5592 Elvis was said to be a regular down to earth kinda guy, which when you consider the amount of pressure and the constant "female gaze" and the utter a hole he had for a manager, It's surprising he didn't go insane!
@@Elvis-guy1973 I have to agree with you! You can say what you want about America, but it has also brought beautiful things to the world, especially (despite all the wars) humanity. Many contemporary witnesses from the end of World War II told me that the Americans were always kind to children and brought many war orphans with them to America out of compassion and love. An old man once told me: Americans can be childlike. That's high praise! Presley and Monroe certainly also had dark sides, but they came across as human. You can take an example from this! We need unperverted humanity. You can save yourself Antifa and colorful flags etc.!!! Jesus is the Savior!
@@jussix48 There's a song that Cochran sings called "My Way" and I swear it's that good that I doubt it will ever be betterd. Is betterd a word?😂It is now! I also prefer Cochrans version of "Milkcow Blues Boogie" the guitar solo is insane! Credit has to be given where it has been earned.
When Paul McCartney visited Elvis' grave at Graceland he was interviewed and he stated he always thought they (the Beatles) had sold the most records but he had seen the evidence and it was Elvis. A lot of his overseas, Asia, and Latin American sales (where he was extremely popular) were not tabulated correctly.
EVERY YEAR WAS ELVIS'S YEAR SOLD MORE RECORDS IN HIS SHORT LIFE THAN ANYONE ELSE, EVEN TO THIS DAY ALMOST 50 YRS AGO HE DIED. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢 BEAUTIFUL ELVIS 😍
Not quite true, the Beatles have sold the most accredited singles and albums EPs combined than any other artist if you going by wild and exaggerated reports from sources who have personal interest in their particular artist such as Michael Jackson while thriller officially as sold some 60-70million copies but if you hunt around you have people saying it,s sold upwards of 110 million but if thriller as only sold 30 million in the world's biggest and most accredited market were sales can be tracked as in the USA were on earth did the other 80million sales come if the it only sold 30 million in the world's biggest market since there is no bigger market then the figure of 110 million is wrong
Crazy how deep his voice became in the 70s. I mean it’s not crazy with all the singing over the years strengthened his vocal muscles plus aging but still it’s interesting how the body evolves overtime including voices
This is truly the height of Elvis Presley as the King of Rock 'n' Roll! All I have to own is all the Dorsey Brothers "Stage Show" performances and the 5 Sun Label Singles! That is the Holy Grail of "Rockabilly"!
He hatred the title king of rock n roll since he wanted to be more than that he wanted to be a movie star like his idol James Dean who died the year earlier in 1955
@@SeptemberChild1835In what sense? Diversity of music / genres? No. Evolution of his music? No. Popularity or records sold? No. Actually writting his own songs? No. Instrumental skill? No. He might've been a better showman though, I'll give you that. Not trying to shit on Elvis here, he was a great singer and performer, and was increadibly important and influential in music history. Without him there likely would not be any Beatles, and it's fine if he fits your personal taste better, but I really do think they surpass him in almost every category.
LOL El has s much better voice than any of the Beatles about 100c more charisma and looks. And much better Live. AND he sold more records even beating the beatles got number ones in their home country only one to do that. You just prefer the Beatles almost anyone that covers a beatles song tops their vocals btw
@@thebelen2359 Elvis was the most diverse, musically. As Dave Marsh wrote, only Ray Charles approached Elvis for diversity and breadth of material. Elvis was the most important in evolution, too! 😃
There is Elvis and the Beatles, with a little Dylan on the side, and then everyone else. @thebelen2359 Elvis was pure, indigenous folk/country/rock and roll. An Armstrong or Robert Johnson. He was a giant of a talent without even knowing it, the greatest rocker and greatest ballad singer (in my opinion) twentieth century pop music has produced. The Beatles, like Elvis, lost their joy, their musical inspiration, and produced a lot of schlock in later years. I watched Elvis on Ed Sullivan in 56 and the Beatles of Ed Sullivan in 64. They were the same transformational talents that captured America and the world.
BABY love you before this date LOVE you since 1954 you captured my heart ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘 ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 💗 and you still have it beautiful gorgeous Elvis for ever and ever and ever and ever 💘 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Margo
@@claudivannonato5958 just love them both,Elvis was music's greatest performer and The Beatles were music's greatest songwriters,they weren't and never will be replaced, just enjoy them both.
@@claudivannonato5958 I used to be the greatest beatles fan, from 10 to 12, when I discovered Elvis and the music from the 50's, to realize that the beatles just carried on with the work of buddy holly. They were very good, but I don't think they played in the same league.
Y luego dicen por ahí los envidiosos que Elvis no es el rey del rock and roll. Que manera de interpretar el rock, con esa voz mágica, cautivadora e hipnotizante,. Elvis Presley fue único, una súper estrella.
GOD BLESS YOU SWEET DREAMS BABY now you belong to God you are like yesterday love you forever and ever Margo ❤️ 💗 ♥️ 💖 💕 💙 ❤️ 💗 ♥️ 💖 💕 💙 ❤️ 💗 ♥️ 💖 💕 💙 ❤️ 💗 ♥️ 💖 💕 💙 ❤️ 💗
February 4th, 1956. Elvis' second appearance on 'The Dorsey Brothers Stage Show' (the first one being on January 28th, 1956). This second time on TV, Elvis would perform, together onstage with Scotty Moore, Bill Black and DJ Fontana, to "Baby Let's Play House" and "Tutti Frutti". ⚡ Great quality video! Thank you so much for sharing it. ❤
That's the night I fell in love with ❤Elvis❤!!!! Oh! YEAH!!! I was 15 then! And after all these years he still excites me!!! As one woman said about Elvis "He gets my Phi Beta Kappa key a janglin!"
@@alainthirion9019 moi 63 ans je l admire depuis l âge de 5 ans et j'ai eu le grand bonheur a 12 ans et 15 ans et 16 ans avec ma grand maternel de le voir en concert . En 1972 à New-York au madison square garden en 1975 a Las Vegas au Hilton et 1976 a Omaha. Elvis est inégalable pour l éternité et des siecles. Amitié fan du king Elvis Presley.
Elvis had a 2 week residency at Las Vegas' New Frontier in 1956, and was in 4 Hollywood movies before being drafted into the Army in 1958. More than anything, I think losing his mom at such a young age (she was only 46) and his upper/downer dependency (which started in the military) was what really changed him.
I agree. It was the lost of his mom that affected him the most. Also, when he was discharged from the army, he should have gotten rid of the Colonel. He needed a new manager by then. He was ready to tour the world and Tom Parker prevented him from doing so for over 20 years.
Does anyone here reading this comment know of anyone in US history who remained the same after serving in any of the then 4, now 6 branches of the US Armed Forces while SIMULTANEOUSLY being i) the most famous person in the world ii) the most celebrated solo musician in history iii) his country's highest PERSONAL tax payer since 1957 and all the way through 1965, iv) the world's most photographed musician ever, v) living off base in the most visited home in Europe, where he continued to be vi) the person who gave most autographs in history, defying the laws of supply and demand, as his is amongst the top selling, even today. Summarizing, does anyone know anyone more prone to "change" than Elvis Presley, born in the poorest of the then 49 states of Union, in a home with an outhouse shared by five other families, then moving at age 13 not to the state of California, or New York, but to the second poorest?. He was an historical figure before his return in 1960, so if the Army changed him, so it would have changed any other person with the same PERSONAL attributes, the pros and the cons. I was changed, entirely, by my two years at a now defunct US private military academy, but that was peanuts compared to what the Army taught Elvis. He was a changed man, but it was INEVITABLE given who he was BEFORE.
Scotty, DJ and Bill. Elvis was a monster at the time, but he a great crew in his original band to prop him up. The rhythm between them was ridiculous. Sucks that, besides the ‘68 special, after ‘61 Elvis never played with them again. They captured Elvis’s sound to a T.
