1st song. Dixieland, a song from the South. 2cnd: Battle Hymn of the Republic ( North’s Marching song during Civil War. 3rd song : was a Bahamian lullaby which the slaves used to sing to their babies. So, once again he tried to be fair of all sides and I truly respect that about him plus is golden voice. Thanks for sharing this with us. God bless.
My god I love this beautiful man inside and out who sings with so much passion and emotion and power in his voice he just sets my heart and soul on fire ❤️🔥
I grew up following this man , and trust me , at age 77 my love and admiration for him is stronger than ever . Hope you read everything you can about his life ... there will never be another man like him !
34 years ago I was interviewed for a radiopogram (I was 14 years old) and they asked me which songs to play to show why I loved Elvis' music. I chosed this song as an example. Still love it today !
Elvis knew what he wanted a song to sound like. God gave he that gift. Yes Elvis did cover a lot of other singers but he made songs his own. In my opinion, he always improve the original.
Magnificent !!!! Music lived in him.....thank you for a great reaction.He recorded approximately 700 songs....enjoy your Elvis journey...I am glad young people are discovering this music and also the kind...generous...humble...man he was....thank you.🌻
This was at January 14 1973, Honolu Hawaii, called Aloha from Hawaii, a concert broadcasted by satelite and in one evening 1,5 billion people watched this concert and thanks to rebroadcasting it is now watched by more then 4 billion people. 1,5 billion people in 1973 was 1/3 of the world population. It is still the most viewed concert ever, nobody did that before and after Elvis Presley and I was so lucky to be present in that concert as a kid of 8 years old and believe me it is one of the best moments in my life. This concert is also one of the so many examples how generous Elvis was because it was a benefit concert, for to help a hospital at Hawaii with the research treatments agains leukemia at children. After he sang suspicious minds he introduced his band members, like he always did, and then Elvis said that thanks to the audience he could donate 75000 USD and he rose it with another 75000 USD so in one evening time Elvis donated 150 000 USD for the good cause. I never stop saying that if we all would do what Elvis did because of humanity, the world would be a much much much better place. THE GOAT!!!
I grew up listening to Elvis. I seen one of his last concerts. To those who never got that experience, there is no video, no recording that begins to encompass the power of Elvis. His passion and emotion and conviction permeated every soul of every person in the building. It was mesmerizing. I remember the exact location perfectly I was at when the news caster broke through on the tv and announced his death. A world mourned. I have been through Graceland several times and that power of his presence still permeates the air as if hes still there. God rest the King
If you listen to his entire catalogue, there is no doubt he is the greatest popular singer in history given his ability to sing so many genres at such a high level of excellence; his range; and his ability to touch an audience. Thank you so much since as long as you review Elvis I am sure you will always have a huge following and I wish you both the best!!! God bless!!! Christopher Tyler from the USA
This is my all time favourite Elvis song not counting his gospel music I’m so glad you reacted to it again he was always rehearsing and it took all his songs very serious because he wanted to give his fans the best and he always did but you must check out Elvis’s funniest moments you will definitely see the fun side to Elvis Love from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴👑👑👑🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🤴🤴🥰👋
You're so right about Elvis being able to bring the emotion into a song. To hear how he could do this even without the live performance I hope you'll react to: (1) Elvis Presley "Sound Of Your Cry", Beautiful Slideshow of Elvis (5:14) and (2) "I believe - Elvis Presley (2:08).
IN addition to all his passion, his voice, his looks, he was also so meticulous about pronunciation... so every word can be understood, and doesn't get lost in the background music. As I listen to music today, pronunciation seems to be careless and/or drowned out by what should be background music.
Wow. Finally someone is addressing this issue. I'm often annoyed by the mumbling of today's singers. I totally agree with you! Thanks for your comment.
Great reaction as always! You are so right to say that Elvis was so passionate and gave so much emotion when he performed. However, so many think he was crying--it’s sweat. I’m not sure how much his suits weighed but it was heavy in addition to the lights , he was sweaty in most of his concerts.
Seeing Elvis live was to say the least "ELECTRIFYING" ..... AND SO THERE I WAS ..... AT SEVERAL ELVIS CONCERTS ..... THE STADIUM WAS AS LOUD AS COULD BE ..... PEOPLE EVERY-WERE ..... THE ELECTRICITY JUMPED FROM ONE PERSON TO ANOTHER ALL THROUGH THE PLACE ..... FULL OF THE STATIC ELECTRICITY ..... ONE PERSON TO ANOTHER ...... THESE CHARGES BUILT UP ON EVERYONE OF US ..... MAKING OUR HAIR STAND ON END AND MAKING ALL OF US CRAZY TILL YOU JUST HAD TO FIND A WAY TO RELEASE OR DISCHARGE IT..... SCREAMING SEEMS LIKE THE WAY MOST GOT RID OF IT ..... " I KNOW THAT FOR SURE" ..... AS MY AUNT ..... MY SISTER ..... AND MY DATE MADE ME INCOHERENT FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT WEEK OR SO ..... AND THIS WAS JUST WAITING FOR THE SHOW TO START ..... THEN THE FRONT PART WITH THE BAND AND COMEDIAN CAME OUT AND SOME ENERGY WAS RELEASED FOR THE MOMENT ..... BUT THEN CHARGED RIGHT BACK UP AGAIN AS THE BAND STARTED AND THE COMEDIAN CAME AND WENT ..... IT SEEMED LIKE IT WOULD NEVER GET TO ELVIS COMING OUT AS THAT IS EXACTLY WHY WE ALL WERE THERE ..... THAT'S RIGHT ..... WE ALL WERE WAITING FOR ..... ELVIS TIME ..... THEN ..... SPACE ODYSSEY 2001 STARTED TO PLAY ..... MAN ..... WOMEN AND CHILD ..... WE ALL KNEW ..... ELVIS WAS NEXT ..... IT WAS DEAFENING ..... THEN SPACE ODYSSEY STARTED PLAYING ..... THE CHARGE WAS ELECTRIFYING .....THE CROWD WAS SO LOUD YOU COULD NOT HEAR YOURSELF SAY ..... THINK OR HELL ..... EVEN SCREAM ..... " YOUR BREAKING MY EAR DRUMS PEOPLE " ..... EVERYONE WAS COVERING THEIR OWN EARS JUST TO SAVE THEMSELF FOR GOING DEAF ..... IT WAS ALL-READY TO LATE FOR ME ..... AS I COULD NOT EVEN SAY HIS NAME WITHOUT MY AUNT ..... SISTER ..... OR ..... DATE THERE WITH ME WOULD LOOK AT ME THEN START SCREAMING ..... EEELLLVVVVIIISSS ..... EEELLLVVVVIIISSS ..... EEELLLVVVVIIISSS ..... BUT THEN JUST BEFORE THE BLINDING LIGHTS OF THE CAMERA'S STARTED ..... THANK GOD ..... IT HAPPENED ..... THE KING HIMSELF CLIMBED UP THOSE STAIRS AND AT THAT MOMENT ..... I REALIZED THAT THE CROWD ..... AUNT ..... SISTER ..... AND ..... DATE ..... COULD SCREAM A WHOLE LOT LOUDER THEN THEY DID JUST MINUTES BEFORE ..... EEELLLVVVVIIISSS ..... EEELLLVVVVIIISSS ..... EEELLLVVVVIIISSS .....WAY LOUDER ..... THEN ..... THANK GOD ..... ELVIS WALKED UP TO THE MIC ..... And the screaming that was ear piercing and probably making my ears bleed already to say the least stop on a dime ..... It was Quiet as hell now with the crowd ..... And with my Aunt ..... Sister ..... And yes ..... My Date..... As Elvis was just about to sing ..... Throughout the concert anytime Elvis was to say anything or sing..... Or ..... Hell ..... Just moved around ..... No-one moved or made a sound ..... WHY ..... We were Mesmerized .....We wanted to hear everything and see everything he did ..... This Is the true Impact that Elvis Aron Presley had here on Planet Earth ..... You can ..... Fight it ..... Argue it ..... Cuss at it ..... Disagree with it ..... Be Jealous of it ..... You can even claim others his equal or his better if you want ..... But every time the dust settles ..... Elvis is still king ..... God said ..... That ..... That son ..... That there is something you just cannot change ..... Can't and won't be done ..... Elvis won the world over with his abilities ..... Far above mortal man ..... Able to leap high notes in a single breath ..... Or blow the roof off with some low tone tornadic whirlwind of a grinding persuasion flowing out of him with the greatest of ease .....To start a song off as if it would be soft and sweet .... Only to have it take you up to high heaven and beyond ..... Making you think ..... What the hell just happened ..... Was that earthbound what you just heard and saw ..... Or direct from up above that ..... God sent just for you ..... Yes sir ..... Whatever happens ..... YOU CANNOT OUTRUN THE POWERFUL .....SOUNDS COMING OUT OF HIM ..... NO SIR .....It's those powerful sounds coming out of him ..... That His tornadic voice creates .....Winds that can blow you into others around you ..... Into laps of perfect strangers ..... Causing turned over popcorn ..... Spilled drinks ..... Stepped on candy bars ..... Hell ..... Even screaming in your ears ..... I KNOW .... Both of them ..... All at once ..... Coming from both sides ..... Even from the front and back of you ..... Doesn't matter if it is your Aunt ..... Sister..... Or Date ..... And thousands of Pictures being taken ..... Even at hundreds of feet away ..... Maybe even thousands ..... All from the lights of the cameras that just keep on flashing ..... Thousands at a time ..... Practically Blinding you the whole time ..... But man ..... look-Out ..... As he can change direction quickly Vocally ..... And send you to La-La land in an instant ..... Hell ..... He's been known to lift up people in cars and trucks ..... Even houses and toss them into happiness ..... WITH IN ONE NOTE ..... So hold on man ..... Elvis is king ..... Borrowed talent from God himself as history has proven it 73 YEARS AND COUNTING ..... Once in a while God sends a mes-sager to his people ..... Elvis was one such mes-sager ..... Mankind can try to change it and proclaim some-one his equal or better if they want ..... BUT God already said ..... That is something that will never change ..... The man had everyone {Including Me} ..... looking up on the stage as we wanted to watch every move ..... And listen to every sound he made ..... Yes sir ..... I saw Elvis live ..... And I will tell you right now that hearing him on CD's or Records or seeing him on TV or here on you-tube ..... I can tell you right now ..... It is nothing like seeing him in person ..... Take it x1000 ..... to him In person ..... He was that Absolutely fantastic ..... A wound up tesla coil ..... With bolts of lighting feeding the crowd ...... Simply ..... He was like the Suction of a f-5 tornado ..... Once in his grip ..... You are a fan ..... PERIOD ..... And so as you are determined ..... To jump into the whirlwinds created by the king himself ..... "REALIZE YOU ARE NOW BEING OFFICIALLY SUCKED INTO THE F-5 WHIRLWIND TORNADO " ..... WE BID YOU GOOD LUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY AND WELCOME ABOARD .....PLEASE ABOVE ALL .....Keep your hands ..... Arms ..... And legs inside your seat at all times ..... To avoid hitting nearby ..... Supporters ..... People ..... And other objects ..... Try to Sit properly in your seat without twisting around ..... kneeling ..... Or otherwise rearranging your body in a way that may compromise the effectiveness of the safety restraints built -in ..... Which are the arm rests ..... Seat belts ..... Or a handrail ..... Or any other form of safety device if so equipped ..... OR .....You may just end up holding on to any other life forms in your area ..... After all they too are being sucked in ..... Or hell ..... You may have to just hang on for dear life on your own ..... Above all ..... Enjoy the ride ..... As he left all his recordings just for us .....And so here is another gift from the king .....

You should definitely react to 68 Comeback Special in his black leather suit. Lawdy Miss Clawdy or One Night With You... other suggestions are Muddy Waters, Bridge Over Trouble Waters live in Vegas and Elvis rehearsals. Hes so funny and oozes sexiness and that Voice!!! ❤❤❤👑
Good reaction. You said “he was so good in his time”. But he is good in your time because you two were affected the very same way as those in his live audience was. He is for ALL times. Listen to all of his songs live or studio. You can’t stop.
Just love watching this beautiful man singing with all his emotion and charisma on view. A true master of his craft and a caring generous human being..he will forever be The King🌹
I think the roof practically blew off of the arena with that huge, amazing ending portion of the song. I almost would not have been surprised if Elvis had levitated at that point!!!!!
Listen to Elvis' 'Bridge Over Troubled Waters' from That's The Way It Is, or watch him play guitar and sing doing 'Trying to Get to You' during the 68' Comeback Special and you'll know why people called him the King. Best wishes my friends!!!
What a lot of people probably don't realize is that this was a benefit concert for the Cancer foundation. They were supposed to raise $25,000 and they ended up raising $75,000. It was a free concert so you donated what you could to the Cancer society and they ended up raising $75,000. 50000 more than the goal of$25,000.
There is a Pastor in my home state, not far from me in Benton, Arkansas, who many Elvis fans think is him, as crazy as it sounds. His name is Bob Joyce and he openly tells everyone he IS NOT Elvis. He has a church in Benton. Some have suggested that it could be the unknown son of Elvis. There's many videos of him on RU-vid and one in particular i'd love to see you react to on YT. The video i'm speaking of is titled 'Bob And Matt Joyce Live 2011 Dentons Benton Arkansas'. Matt is Bob's son, who is dressed as an Elvis imperonator, and he is telling his dad the words as the song goes along. Listen to him sing karaoke as Elvis, singing "American Trilogy."You WILL be amazed at how much he sounds like Elvis. Better than any impersonator i've ever heard. He could be wealthy cutting records if he wanted. There is a video of a professional voice analyst of YT using an instrument to compare Elvis and Bob's voice and he proves it's not the same voice, but he says it's a close to a match as you can possibly get, without being a perfect match to Elvis himself. Check out Pastor Bob.
Elvis Grandmothers name was Morning White Dove she was Cherokee Indian! This song is about Americans civil war to secure these words " we believe these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal, by their creator " Dixie combined with battle Hym of the republic Abraham Lincoln favorite song!🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸

Elvis does this song really well but he doesn't deserve all the accolades he receives for it. "American Trilogy" was arranged and originally released by Mickey Newbury. Newbury's version, which can be seen on YT, is every bit as good and emotional as Elvis' and he puts it across without the aid of pomp and pageantry that is so apparent here.
The big time pomp and showmanship went perfectly with the song, especially with the supersonic finish!!!!! The song is also magnificent just hearing it on the stereo (Yes, I still have a stereo, and it is a good one).
