How beautiful is this song, and Elvis sings this to perfection. His voice is amazing and so too the orchestra. I love it! This man is perfection for sure. Volcano!! 🎶🥇🌋
As far as how he seem to never have errors/glitches in his performance, I heard from one of his backup singers that he was a perfectionist, and they would do the same song for hours in rehearsal to get it to his satisfaction.
ELVIS: "Can I hold you closer to me?" (0:47) SEPH: "Oh, yes, please!" So sweet...so funny! "If I had you, could I ever ask for more? It's just impossible!" (1:20) Such a great line. This one beautifully translates the emotions of one's overwhelming desire for another. As you say, this one is just lush. Hits me in just the right spot. Feels like a wave of bliss washing over me.
I have to be honest Seph disappointed with your D ranking, as this is to me a piece of artistic LIVE vocal perfection. Tender, dreamy , soulful with an exquisite orchestral backing, adds up to total class all the way for me.
Elvis said he treated every show like it was his first time because most of the fans had never seen him, and he wanted to do well for them. Many concert songs were one take worthy of release as is.
Aah love this song. Elvis sings so tenderly and beautifully Always love your enthusiastic reactions Seph to Elvis. Am a huge Elvis fan and do enjoy your real appreciation of the King
Makes me feel that I could be totally vulnerable with someone if this was playing! How can a singer do this so powerfully to a person? It's impossible!
Great reaction Thanks once again Seph. Yours is the best RU-vid channel. One good thing about this song is it perfectly fits at the end of side 1 on the album known as the 'Fool' album. (although the record cover just says Elvis) I have a Spanish copy of this album in front of me now Seph. On the back cover above colour pictures of his latest at the time 2 albums: Elvis As Recorded At Madison Square Garden, and Elvis Aloha from Hawaii via Satellite, these words are written: OTROS DOS GRANDES EXITOS DE ELVIS . No idea what they mean! (something about a grand exit maybe!) After each one of the 10 songs on the album the Spanish title is written in brackets. For example after 'Fool' (Tonto) and after this one 'It's Impossible' (Somos novios) Hope you find this interesting ... it's also a 'sharper' in colour cover to the album than the American and English versions. Though recorded in 1972 the album and single of the song 'Fool' were both released to the world in 1973!😀♥
This is one of his Vegas performances, we don't know if this was his second show the end of his first show or what. He did a 10 pm show and a 1am show, 7 days a week , every night for 5 weeks straight. Then he go back to Memphis for a few weeks. He sounded a little tired when you consider his powerful voice. Nevertheless brilliant by most standards. Thanks Seph.
This was originally recorded live in Las Vegas in February 1972 for a planned live album called "Standing Room Only", which was to be released in November of 1972, which never came to fruition during Elvis' lifetime, due to the Elvis on Tour movie being released at the same time and Aloha being announced.
It’s so tender and warm. Everyone always thinks he’s going to power up all the time, but sometimes a song demands to be just gently sung to show passion softly and real. It gets into your soul. ❤❤❤😊😊
Hi Jeri...Sammy is ok...she just commented on Seph reaction to " Never Been to Spain".... isn't this song gorgeous....so warm and tender ( your perfect description) dreamy....sigh...❤❤❤
@@susyq810 Thanks Susie. Can’t you just get lost when Elvis sings? Hope all is going well with you. More good days than bad I hope. God bless. 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️
@@Jeri_C11 Hi Jeri....I am well...I hope things are going well for you too🌻🌸 This song makes me close my eyes and drift away to "ElvisWorld" even if it is only for a few minutes...still a lovely place to be🥰
You must react to: Burning love the nr 1 song of 1972 and of the 70s in my opinion It s only love the best song of 1971 Always on my mind the greatest ballad of the 70s
Love the song and performance. Perry Como song from 1968. It was going to be offered to Elvis but given to Como instead. Como had a top 10 hit with it (US and UK). Elvis did it better, although Como had a smooth as silk voice, but no way does he compare to Elvis. Elvis would have had a #1 with it I'll bet.
Perry recorded it in September of 1970. Sid Wayne was a regular songwriter for Elvis, but in this lone instance he gave it Perry first. Elvis didn't do it until Feb. of 1972. Perry had a renaissance of sorts from the late 60s to the early 70s. Elvis followed Perry a bit with his crooner voice.
Seph seriously mate D rank Are we listening to the same song It should be on the top Seph I never disagreed with you in the past But this time I have to D rank No way mate It's a triple banger Just listen to that voice Seph it impossible to give Elvis anything but an A rank 😂 Seph Seph Seph It's the Elvis
Seph ranks the songs and not Elvis. I wonder how he can do it that way. My E and F ranks would be nonexistent in any Elvis ranking list - even for the lousiest movie songs.
If i ranked how he *Sings* instead of the songs themselves, all of the songs would be in S Rank. That's why i decided early on that it would be more fun to rank the songs. So the lyrics, tune and how it makes me feel are all taken into consideration. So if it makes you feel better i would rank this in S rank, on his vocal gymnastics and cadence alone 😍
@@SephPlays His cadence. First time I've heard that in a long while. Yes. He has a way of hesitating a word that grabs attention and puts you on the edge of your seat - creating a kind of suspense in the song. I've heard that described in the past. It is unique.
Why are people still surprised when a song gets low rankings in the C and below, just one quick look at the ranking list and we can see that over half of Elvis' most beautiful songs have ended up in the trash bin. I understand that he likes Elvis' voice and that's not what gets the low ranking, but still, it is Elvis' music, his legacy, the songs he picked was who he was. We like what we like, we can't help it, and he can rank the songs the way he feels, but I'm glad Elvis is not here to see this, it would probably hurt him to see how his whole music catalogue have gotten such a negative response and low rankings on most of his songs. Poor Elvis !!!
