Yes, John and Elvis, rest in peace! No matter who can play instruments,who can't, (of course in my opinion ) they are both two fabulous artists.I love John also because of his respect and beautiful words he said about Elvis.
I think this way too, Anna. They were fabulous. Here the owner of the channel wants to make a joke, but Elvis is gorgeous even not playing this piano. And yes, John loved Elvis just like us. Greetings my friend.
Edileusa Menezes yes, dear friend, Elvis is gorgeous even not playing this piano,even not writing songs.He had so many talents, he was charismatic, he was magic, he had an incomparable voice which went deep into the heart, he was ELVIS,THE KING OF MUSIC. Ciao.
@ Anna Marie Nicely said. I would only add that although he didn't 'write" music, it's important to stress that he was a Producer and Arranger. Many people falsely claim "songwriting" as the ultimate measure of musical Talent ... which is nonsense, but unfortunately it's one of the reasons so many people use that as a strike against Elvis. But people within the music industry from Elvis era point out that he was one of the most underrated producers and arrangers in music history. And most definitely was a legitimate composer. He's the one that usually changed the arrangement, or key changes, by sitting down at the piano or drum set, or picking up the guitar, and showing his fellow musicians in the studio the musical sound he was wanting for the song. Even had instruments moved around the studio sometimes to help get a different sound or have the lights changed in the studio to help set the mood for each individual song. Dude was incredibly brilliant, yet humble about it. He lacked any pretentiousness so he never publicly promoted himself in this way. Just sharing in case you didn't know. We fans have to be up in this stuff so when people try to discredit Elvis we can put them back in check. If curious for more info you can google "Bones Howe talks Elvis in studio" . He's one of the music industry recording legends that talked about this.
anna maria facchiano But Lennon also said some pretty cold words about Elvis as well. After Elvis died Lennon was asked about what he thought of Elvis's death and he said "Elvis died when he joined the army".
sixstring v you put it much nicer and more eloquently then i would have. It's great that John liked Elvis ... but so what, the whole world liked Elvis.. and many accolades aa Elvis has gotten for his work he is still the most underrated performer of all time..
Beautiful, would've loved to hear him sing imagine,so talented, piano, guitar,wonder how he learned to read music .He was a gift to this world.He still inspires years after his passing.Love you Elvis, May your spirit be as happy as you continue to make us💖🙏🏼
ELVIS PRESLEY, a singer out of the ordinary, his voice and xarisma are unique, he was never rude to his fans and the most beautiful thing is his natural voice and he always sang hymns to God at concerts, he never forgot to thank God, greetings to the channel's host
Elvis could play the piano. But imagine wasn't the song he was playing here. There are actually no records of him ever playing this song. But for sure that's not what he was playing in this video
A very special individual who was able to help people around the world in so many different ways in and around every culture simply the best thing that could happen to music 🎶was the day of January 8th 1935 and the real day that they say (quote)"The Day The Music Died" on February 3rd 1959.. Listen prayers to the Holly, family Valens, family Big Bopper, and can't forget J.P. Richardson when the Beech Aircraft crashed fatality killing Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper, Richy Valens, J.P. Richardson... Lots of respect. But that's the day when The Music Died..think about it.. Anyway God bless and be safe.... BC,July 19th, 2021. 11:19 pm...
This video is fake, Elvis didn’t play ”imagine”. The clip is taken from the documentary ”Elvis - That’s the way it is” and he did NOT play this song! They have stolen the film material to make this fake clip to get likes. But I recommend you watch the documentary, from 1970, if you like Elvis! I will report this fake video 🚩
Elvis could play piano too it's just he prefers singing and playing guitar in his home movies he enjoys playing piano. He plays more piano than we think he does. Very talented
+Mark Harris. If you had clicked on "more" the OP said it was fake. Just a fantasy could have been song if Elvis had had the opportunity to play and record it. He very well may have at some point, but didn't to my knowledge. As far as Elvis not knowing how to play piano, he was actually a better pianist than guitar player. Look for "That's How The Web Was Woven" from the concert movie, That's The Way It Is, and see if you still stand by your words. In some of Elvis' last concerts, he admitted he only knew 3 chords on guitar and he'd faked them off for a long time ( I think he was being modest, watch the sit down acoustic part of 68 Comeback Special and his guitar skills seem far more advanced. But rock n roll is basically just 3 chords anyway. As for Johnny you take one concert to speak for his whole career? Try watching some of the episodes from the Johnny Cash show that appeared for years on tv, and say he doesn't know how to play guitar. Multiple musicians make millions and some cases, billions of dollars and have no formal musical training at all. Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers is or was starting classes at UC Berkley for a music degree, even after the millions of dollars he's made and awards won. So please get off your high horse regarding artists not knowing how to play instruments. They must have been doing something right.
Elvis was only joking when he said he only knew three chords. He was a fine guitar player, not the best not the worst but if you think he only knew how to play three chords then you have not watched him much.
Well when the video was trying to make people believe that Elvis was playing the song Imagine. If it's not what he was playing. The real version of this is on the video of Elvis That's the Way It Is. And also Elvis's spiritual beliefs were against what the song Imagine says
Is the Second Son of god a song? But no it wasn't playing that anyway. In Elvis was a son of God in the sense that anyone who receives what Christ did and accept Christ is a child of God. But he wasn't another Jesus. Jesus was and is the only true begotten son of God
@@jesseking8504 I was going to reply to you in detail and explain a few things about my comment and how it's infact you that made comparisons. But i had second thoughts and feel i don't need to explain anything at all. Have a nice day. 😁
Imagine there's a future Computers with editing tools No common sense among us Only gullible fools Imagine all the people Falling for these viiideeooo ooh HOO oohoos You might say that I'm a streamer Who recognizes a joke, but, I'm not the only one Maybe someday more people will evolve with us And the woOorld won't be so dumb
He could play the piano well. But this was not him playing this song. It's just edited video make it look like it. Elvis didn't agree with the lyrics of this song
He certainly could, and did. He loved the piano and played at home all the time. Sometimes in the studio. Just like with the guitar, he played HARD, using a lot of chording and slamming the devil out of the instrument. He nonetheless sounded quite good! By the early '70s, he handled it with more sensitivity as evidenced by the three gorgeous solo "piano ballads" in 1971. Check 'em out. They are much better without the overdubs on the original releases. Elvis had absolutely NO instruction on the instrument; he was entirely self-taught. He apparently used the piano in the music room in school when it was not in official use. On leaving high school, he bought an old used upright on layaway. He just had to get a piano even when they couldn't afford it.
Played a big role in trying to keep john out of the US in the 70’s... elvis is amongst the greatest but to have the cheek to perform a song of a person he didn’t want in his country...
I know why didn’t reporters get a story on that topic of how amazing Elvis and others are at picking up music so easily Without lessons. It truly was a God given gift. I was just a child so I wasn’t really into rock and roll and celebrity’s. Now I love to go back and learn about The people behind the music and enjoy Music. To John Lennon Jr. I’m sorry for your fathers death, I hope America or Europe has been kind to you. I think some of these lessons from Trajedies should be taught by parents And schools to help the next generations hopefully avoid sins and Mistakes of others. Then you have a strong healthy country.
Yes this is faked but I disagree with the comment that Elvis played little piano, he was great listen to Unchained Melody from 1977 he was able to play the guitar, piano and bass guitar all from ear no ability to read music!!!
Dont Sorry...in each cities There are Men who plays lots of instruments,...but in thousands years There Will not born a talent like Elvis, Lennon etc...
All true Elvis fans know where this clip is from: ”Elvis - That’s the way it is” a beautiful documentary and concert recorded in 1970 and it does NOT include ”imagine”!!! 🚩
Elvis Presley could play piano well enough and he could also play guitar well too. Watch the 68 comeback special and see how well he could play. He also played guitar on the sun sessions. And he also played bass for the Jailhouse Rock sessions. Read and find out...
Elvis was playing the piano, just not this song. Someone has changed the audio! There is a clip on RU-vid of him actually playing the piano and no, he's not as good as this sounds, but he was just fooling around backstage after a rehearsal for a concert. He wasn't trying to impress anyone.
Not as good as this Sounds? Imagine isn't a hard song to play. He could have easily played the song and probably did. He played way more complex songs. But imagine is a simple melody.
Yes we know it's fake but it's nice to see Elvis, thinking he is playing it. Elvis would have never sang this song anything "Imagine there is no heaven" was the opposite of what Elvis loved for and believed
Yes of course this is a fake, though I can see the fantasy side. However I think there is a connection, I read one of the comments on You Tube under the song suppose that Elvis recorded in 1966. Someone claimed that John Lennon got the idea for the piano tune of Imagine from this song.
This is not Elvis playing imagine. This is fake people. There are several of these going around the internet now. The video is Elvis playing piano in That’s The Way It Is movie. He’s playing How The Web Was Woven.
