Elvis Presley - An American Trilogy (Official Audio) 

Oh my god i had chills it made the opening scene stand out so much like thats exactly how elvis fame was.

it was pretty powerful

It wasn’t on the opening it was on half movie

@@licaelia11 no it was in the opening, rewatch the movie if you don’t believe me.

With that powerful opening, I already knew the movie was going to be amazing! It gave me goosebumps

It was

@@theylivewesleep4570 part of it

It really does! I don't care what age you are how can you not like Elvis. I'm 40 and love him..such a talent! My dad who's 79 grew up in the 1950's in Jackson, Tennessee not far from Memphis where Elvis made his start. His next door neighbor was Wink Martindale who was the first to person to interview Elvis on his radio show. Wink and Elvis became lifelong friends. Many of you probably know that Wink became a legendary game show host and he's actually in the Guiness Book for most different game shows hosted. Needless to say my dad loves Elvis too! He remembers local preachers talking about the evils of rock and roll. Preachers all across the country were saying the same thing. Wow how far we've come from that time!

I totally agree 🦋

@@jordanvantreese4005 I’m 27 and love him!

What does the song mean ?

@@CP-vi2rm its about the US Civil War

@@CP-vi2rm How I understood it, and what I’ve read elsewhere is that it begins with Dixie, of course the song of the Deep South. Then Battle Hymn of the Republic comes in which was the anthem of the Northern soldiers and then finally the resolution of the Civil War- people have died to resolve the conflict but “Glory, Glory Hallelujah, His Truth is marching on” reflecting that the truth of freedom and man’s dignity won out. It took me a long, long time to step back and take a closer look at the lyrics and fully appreciate how profound this song actually is. Regrettably I think that many understand it as some racist anthem when it was so much more, the opportunity for healing after a bitter conflict. IMHO. Sadly in 2022 our societal conflicts are on the news and in the streets nightly. They should rerelease this song coupled with “If I Can Dream” which Presley recorded in honor of Martin Luther King Jr after his assassination.

you are so locky

I grew up in Vegas but was a few years too young to see his Vegas shows. The first time I saw him was the Hawaii special... me and 1 billion people worldwide. I think that was 1 out of 4 people who were alive then watched him. I didn't know before that special what it was about Elvis that was so compelling. I sure found out when I watched. He was positively charismatic.

I'm forever an Elvis fan. Thanks to the Elvis biopic I'm loving his music for Elvis Presley didn't die but went home.

Must have been amazing xx

I will sing this song on my birthday next week. Love you Elvis Presley. The Lords truth is definitely marching ooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnn!!!!

AMEN! To that!

He knew he was dying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@sherylllynn2710 si, lo sabia y como todo hombre mortal en la tierra sin miedo acepto su destino...

Always❤

No one on earth will ever replace Elvis no matter if the world existed for 1 million years ! ONE OF A KIND for eternity 💚

Agreed

None but compliments brother

@Kevin J he has a brother ?

I agree. Honestly I had never heard this song from elvis until the other day it was in a elvis documentary I was watching and instantly fell in love with it

Stolen comment

Wait I’ve seen this before

Sim!!

Two kings, in order to not star a second civil war and this us a very original abswer

44 presidents.

Correct !

Frank:

Si. Por ejemplo Sister Rosetta ó Frank Sinatra. Pero es verdad que no lo llevaron al nivel que lo llevó él.

Whatever.

That's for sure Elvis this song is so emotionally it is a lovely song long live the Elvis songs forever always

Always ❤️

Jesus is the best

@Sam facts of course he he's, he's always the best human to ever live

@@Westside_69yes he’s one of the best and important prophets (God’s messenger)

The dude grew up with african americans….in a segragist america

He also had the Sweet inspirations backing him up in the 1970s if he was racist I doubt he would want them backing him up... Long Live The King 👑

Tell me who hasn’t been called racist in the last 15 years lol

My favorite Elvis song is in the ghetto

Makes me sad to know how he was treated by those that should have taken care of him. He was a cashcow for so many people.

Actually his range is not big deal, but his other qualities are unbelievable

@@PicadorCriminal I disagree.

@@LISH632 Not for being disagree is not true

@@PicadorCriminalyou’re insane his vocal range is ridiculous. Listen to this and then blue moon sounds like 2 different singers

@@philly4life It's just unmatched

It is so great--it makes me want to cry

Where is the.negativity ?

@@shyba2011 The negativity is this in short, a lot of people today (mostly in the USA) take offence to the Civil War era of our history saying it is mostly racist, they only teach 4 things of the Civil War era in schools here today, 1. Lincoln freeing the slaves 2. The Gettysburg Address 3. Lincoln's Assassination and 4. President Ulysses S. Grant being the 7th out of 12 presidents so far to have the rank of General and also become president of America, the Democratic party in US is ashamed and is blaming the "not wanting to free the slaves" thing on the republicans *_WHEN THAT IS A LOAD OF BULLSHIT AND THEN SOME!!!!!!_* The party that Abraham Lincoln was a part of *_IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!!!!!!!!!_* The democratic party says that it was *_THEM_* that freed the slaves which is false in actuality it's the other way around the democracy majority of the Confederacy was the *_DEMOCRATS!!!!!!_* The democrats wanted to keep slavery, the republicans wanted to *_FREE_* them and now the jackasses wanna blame it on Ole Dixie saying that flag is racist, when it's not.

you know music, i agree. most people are slow and it's up to people such as you to help every last one of them.

Samuel Mauldin you are correct, sir. The south was paying 75% of the nations freight it was about states rights in the beginning. And slavery was part of that.

Why i picked the army over any branch

He is really a man with integrity and honor

They were going to put him in jail for lewd conduct , this was the choice he was given .. Service or Jail..

Elvis did NOT chose the military. It was jail or the US Army!!

@@joinjen3854 I mean he did take the army route nonetheless

Elvis didn't die, he just went home.

@The Britt Sisterz he went home

He never will 👏👏👏

Correct

he was in all other building allright back in his day

Hij was er trots op dit nummer te zingen , God Bles him

JoeysWorldTour lmao Joey!!! Gotta love the King!!!

JoeysWorldTour ha ha my nigga 😏👍

JoeysWorldTour wow! it's you Joey! I didn't expect to see you here.

JoeysWorldTour our Uncle Joey has some great taste in music

your prof pic ruins the mood

Ikr but I changed it just now

Artsy fartsy I

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my grandmother as well.

Sorry for your loss 🙏

I'm sorry for your loss

Yeah - beautiful hymn

For me it's If I Can Dream.

Agreed.

I admit I’m a sucker for Jailhouse Rock

I love this song, but The Wonder of You has always been a stand out one for me. Right up there with Can't Help Falling in Love

If I can dream

I am so,so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the pain you're going through. May he rest in everlasting peace,and may your heartache be quelled. Thank you so much for your service!

Sorry for your loss. 🙏

I'm so sorry for your loss xoxoxoxox

Oh now I get it

+thejoser Thats cool, man

I heard it for the first time over adult nude interperative dance, with a man born without arms I think I would have liked to have learned this song from a laser show instead.

I have, because that’s my hometown and it is an indelible memory of my childhood growing up, with Elvis singing the trilogy

Please stand for the anthem

Right❤

For the confederates yes

@@kgbcommitteeforstatesecuri3315 wtf respect the man and the south that was bout 150 yrs ago

Gonna be played at my funeral, too.

Great choice, I'm sorry for your loss.

Mackenzie Watkins spelled PaPa....

SAnderson MIRROR You're wrong. Paw Paw is correct for her. They actually pronounced it 'Paw,' like a dog's foot. Not 'Pa.'

Andrea Reynolds pa can be pronounced in a number of different ways.

Así es, una obra maestra!

2024 still here🎉🙌

Amen

presley

+Blanca Moreira Presley!

Really? the misspelling of Presley is the one that sets you guys off? The Elis gets me ...

A misspelling is nice.

Elis Presly? Who that?

I AM

The best there will ever be.foreve,amen

Check out Johnny cash's From Sea To Shining Sea.

+CashPresley32 I have.

+CashPresley32 You're right fantastic.

Steve Lillie I know, it's great.

Elvis Presley I s missed . Elvis lives to much crappy music out there I listen to Elvis sunrecords stuff or gospel that music makes me feel good

And they don't use his best vocal. Amen to that!

+peze80 AMEN to that and also to golf4's comment agree it's NOT there the impact he had is not there the Hawaii tv special is the best.

couldn't have said it better myself.

+golf4l Elvis didn't like it when people messed with his songs... I remember hearing about how pissed he was when Parker went and altered Suspicious Minds against his wishes.

+golf4l That's what I wanted to say! James Burton >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Duane Eddy

Yeah your right.. It is quite off.. But what I've noticed is that most of the song was spliced together from other performances.. The aloha from Hawaii vocal is definitely on here & you can tell but the ending is from the Feb 1972 concert

+peze80 If they had chosen the Elvis's vocals from Aloha to accompany RFO it would have been like Elvis singing almost acapela ..They were oblidged to reduce the vocal passion and that's what they've done so that to sell a different package. Absolutely wrong marketing according to my opinion but it seems that RPO needs some fame lifting anew and Elvis's legacy always sells.

+Argyro Koukoula this is the Perry Como version,mono and very little unipersonal

Dear Alex, I'm so sorry for your great loss(your precious Grandpa). My dad also loved Elvis and this song. We played it at his funeral and there wasn't a dry eye after hearing such a beautiful song. I believe you will see your Grandpa again in Heaven just like I will see my loved ones. Hopefully, Elvis will sing his wonderful song in Heaven with all the angels. Hang in there! God bless you! Yvonne

Sorry for your loss. 🙏

Ingrid Ivonne ESPAÑA SALUDOS DESDE BARCELONA 🇪🇸💪 LOVE MÚSICA ELVIS 😎

🇺🇸🇺🇸 hell yeah

I have a confession to make, everytime I hear this song it takes me back to the first - and so far only - time I've been to America! I live in Sweden and I was 10 years old and my mom had bought the cd with Elvis Aloha from Hawaii shortly before we went to America! I know that this song was on that cd and we played it a lot before and after we came home from there! I have always loved this song so much since it really takes me back to those days! For some reason this song especially - of all the 29 or so songs on that album- this is the one that most takes me back! We - actually me,my mom and my brother- were there for about three weeks visiting both New York and also a friend who lived in Iowa! We landed in Chicago but this friend lived about 4-5 hours of driving outside of Chicago! So we were driving along the American highways in Illinois and Iowa seeing this awesome landscapes... I have to say these three weeks made a huge impact on me and still to this day (im 30 today) it makes me happy thinking of that trip! Its amazing how three weeks can make such a big impact even 20 years later. Honestly It's getting me kinda emotional hearing this! Definitely the most amazing and awesome trip ive done in my life!! I really really hope I can go back there some day! :)
