Don't feel alone, millions of people have not heard a lot of Elvis' songs, even some Elvis fans. I prefer a lot of Elvis songs over his top 10 hits, especially his love songs and some movie songs.
I have just found your channel and subscribed. I have been an Elvis fan my entire life and I am looking forward to seeing your Elvis journey. It is so great ro see that his music is reaching a new generation. TCB 👑⚡️
There's Elvis Gospel, there's Elvis pop, there's Elvis country, there's Elvis blues and there's Elvis rock. Oh and there's Elvis movie songs, Elvis sings to children and Elvis Christmas!!!! Are you Ready for the Long Journey??????????
This must have been a difficult song for Elvis ... his marriage was breaking up , his prescription drug use was deepening and his world was crumbling ! But his voice was still glorious and he gave his all ... still love this man ! RIP Elvis !
Yes he was in a very dark place the book written by his sacked entourage was coming out in the next few days, telling the truth about his private life, the only thing he had left his squeaky clean image. He didn't want to be Elvis Presley anymore he was telling those around him, and the awful non life he had. I think he committed suicide his only way out, which is so heartbreaking. He was too soft to handle his fame, using prescription drugs to deaden it. LONG LIVE THE KING ❤
I've been a fan of Elvis since I was 11 years old and he saved my live a number of times. I became so depressed on many an occasion and when I listened to him singing gospel, it just lifted my spirits and made me realise there is more to life than just living. I shall always be grateful to him. When I heard him sing TAKE MY HAND, PRECIOUS LORD I just couldn't stop crying and felt total relief afterwards. Thank you Elvis, you were truly put on this earth for a reason. Love you always ❤❤
Craig .. the ultimate Elvis song is, If I Can Dream, the 68 comeback special, in the white suit. This was very shortly after Martin Luther King was killed in Memphis. His death affected Elvis, because he respected everything King stood for. As I understand even though Elvis did not write this song, when he decided to record it, he sat with the writer and they made changes to fit how Elvis felt. It will move you to your core.
This was never a popular song and most people have never heard of it before, but it is one of his most beautiful songs ever recorded. Check out "Last Farewell" by Elvis Presley and "Green, Green Grass of Home" they won't disappoint you!
My favorite Elvis song has always been "Kentucky Rain." You also can't go wrong with his gospel songs, such as "He Touched Me," "Reach Out To Jesus," "Take My Hand, Precious Lord," to name a few.
I don’t think Elvis can sing a bad song or sing badly. He’s truly iconic. I think I’ve listened to about 700 songs & I loved everyone of them. 🥹🥹🎸🕺🏻🎸🎤🌹🌹🕯️🕯️🤷♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️Love from the USA. 😁😁🥰🥰
Listen to another song from the Aloha Concert called " What Now My Love". Also, everyone knows the song "Danny Boy," but no one sings it like Elvis. He is the King❤❤❤
Hearing him live in Vegas was beyond comprehension grew up listening to him enjoy your Elvis discovery yiu can’t beat him Tom Jones and Elvis were friends
Just Pretend, live version, 1970; An American Trilogy, What Now My Love, Fever, I’ll Remember You, Welcome To My World, My Way … all from the Aloha From Hawaii concert … all the songs from that concert are stellar!
This performance still moves me to tears. I remember watching this concert when it was broadcast live from Hawaii. It was fantastic! He definitely earned the title of "King" of rock and roll.
Welcome to the Elvis rabbit hole. You're in for an incredible journey. He recorded somewhere between 800 and 1,000 songs and he didn't just stick to one genre either; he sang country, rhythm and blues, rock'n'roll, ballads and gospel amongst others, and he did them all amazingly. You were completely right when you said that there will never be another Elvis, he's the best that ever was and ever will be, no-one else even comes close. I've been an Elvis fan for more than 50 years now and he still never ceases to amaze me. You also need to learn a little about the man and his life. He was a truly kind, caring, loving and very generous humanitarian. He loved his fans and appreciated that he wouldn't be where he was without them and he never forgot where he came from either. He gave a lot to charity, but he did it quietly behind the scenes and not just for the publicity. Perhaps you could watch a couple of documentaries about him, such as 'Elvis and the Black Community' ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xd1pXw1DmsA.html and 'Elvis A Generous Heart'. Thank you for such a great reaction and for wanting to dive more into Elvis; you won't regret it.
A good Elvis song that is not well known and is a little country is “clean up your own backyard”. Also another is Crawfish from (film King Creole). These are from movies.
You "gave" me a mountain is one of Elvis' great live performance songs. So much power behind this song and it was popular at a low point of his life when he and Precilla were splitting up so I can only imagine how bittersweet it must have been for him to sing.
Yes yes and yes. I’m 55 and been listening to Elvis almost daily since watching that Hawaii concert in 1973 at 6 yrs old. You will always get the chills/goosebumps when he sings. He will not tire you. He was an angel in human form. No other explanation.
OMG I adore Elvis he rocked everything he sang , when he sings gospel songs I get goosebumps 😍 I was 4 or 5 when he died, I remember my mom crying her eyes out, she worked as a waitress at the time and had tickets to see him in what turned out to be his last concert she had to work a business party so that made it worse. 😭😭😭😭 If you want another new artist try listening to Freddy Fender his song Wasted Days and Wasted Nights💕or Before The Next Teardrop Falls, much love and respect as always 🤗😘😍💪
Great reaction. You Gave Me A Mountain was on Elvis' set list of (almost) every concert from 1972 to his last concert on June 26, 1977. You said you know his hits so you will not react to them unless we told you otherwise. I would really like you to react to Suspicious Minds live in Las Vegas (August 1970). The performance differs from the well-known single version but here you can experience the cheer fun Elvis had while performing. It is a must-see really. Another clip that gives you great insight would be Can't Help Falling In Love, as his routine show closer, performed live on April 9, 1972 in Hampton Roads VA. In the Burning Love reaction you wondered why the crowd was as tame as it was. (That was because it was broadcasted live worldwide by satellite). Here you see how crowds responded during a regular tour show and you get a glimpse of Elvis' special relationship with his fans. I am listening to Elvis all my life but this gives me goosebumps every time I'll watch this clip.
The Aloha concert was televised world-wide via satellite. 1.5 Billion people watched this concert. The 1st ever in history. This man is amazing. Such a powerful voice. Love him. 👏👍🇿🇦
As an Elvis fan this guy was good singing he was a master of it ,,hey he was good at all songs loved of him his emotions would changed to suit each song and made it so personal to him, he a permanent fixture in my brain. I love this song its so powerful and he tells the story very well you become absorbed in the moment. NEVER can anyone that can replace him he was a powerhouse and can reduce me to tears
Elvis. Was amazing for sure. You gave me a mountain was written by a country singer named Mary Robbins who also recorded it. I would love for you to listen to Marty Robbins. He had a song called Love Me and another called My Woman, My Woman, My Wife.
Elvis could express sad emotions and struggles with such incredible beauty, that I consider it healing & inspiring just to listen to his beautiful voice. All of the Aloha concert is worth listening to. Some of my other favorites are "Without Love," a very early one called "First In Line," "Fool," & "A Fool such as I." Enjoy.
Esta una JOYA , en la historia del GOSPELS , que interpretacion mas extraordinaria , graves ,agudios , rasguidos , orquesta , coros , todo espectacular , MUY BUEN TRABAJO 👏👏👏
This has been a favorite of my for awhile now I know I couldn't imagine not having my son in my life, another great one in my opinion by Elvis you should react to is ... What Now my Love ...
Craig, it's so wonderful that you'd never heard this until today! I've heard it many times and honestly don't know if it was a "hit" or not. What a nice surprise for you! Thank you for sharing your reaction with us! All the best from the U.S.
*IF I CAN DREAM*. This is an *EPIC* performance by Elvis in response to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. WHITE suit. (Official Live Performance)
Ah, such a fun challenge you have given us. Like you mentioned, Elvis has sooo many songs out there, but like you, I grew up hearing all the "top" ones over and over. This was a new one for me, and it was a good one. Written by Marty Robins, I read that Elvis made this his own and performed it well, as he was able to tap into his raw emotion as this was around the same time that he and Priscilla were going through their divorce. I was going to recommend "That's Alright Mama", but I think you might know that one. So go with the other suggestions you get as I am sure folks will give you what you ask for. Thank you as always "monkey"...for your reaction 😉🙃
It is my opinion that you haven't really heard Elvis at his best until you have heard him sing gospel songs. On his album Elvis Best Gospel, are about 25 songs you should check out but the ones I think are best are Take My Hand, Chimes of Time, Reach Out to Jesus, He Touched Me, Only Believe and Peace in the Valley. You also should check out the country album called Elvis Great Country Songs that includes the songs Old Shep, There Goes My Everything, Kentucky Rain, I'll Hold you in my Heart (Till I can hold you in my Arms), Green, Green Grass of Home, Fairytale, Make the World Go Away, Funny How Time Slips Away, He'll Have to Go and Guitar Man. So, if you want to go in a direction everyone else might not be going in, I highly recommend his gospel or country songs.
Elvis kept many items given to him by fans. On one of my trips to Graceland, they had that jumpsuit on display as well as the large red lei that was given to him by a fan that you see him wearing in this video. They also had the crown on display that was given to him by a fan at the end of this concert!
Great reaction, and I am a new fan, like I said before, and even read comments on many reactions, and it's been said you feel you're watching God .I agree it breaks your soul open, and there is a feel in my opinion that I am experiencing a little bit of heaven. That's why, 50 years later, he I'd bigger than ever .God's gift is right there in front of us .
