ELVIS PRESLEY - "JAILHOUSE ROCK" | (REACTION!!!) | EVEN IN JAIL, ELVIS MAKES HIT RECORDS!!! 

Of course he can dance!!! For the first few years of his career tv stations wouldn't show him below the waist because they said he was indecent.

This is a quote from Elvis himself: Some people tap their feet, some people snap their fingers, and some people sway back and forth. I just sorta do 'em all together, I guess.

ELVIS was a natural dancer, and his voice and looks phenomenal!

🤣🤣🤣 He's the king my friend! He changed the whole face of music when he came on the scene....one of the true timeless artists that come around once in a lifetime! ❤

Elvis was an all round entertainer he could sing any style, act any roll, if given the chance. For years Elvis was censored on TV not allowed to film him below the waist.

He was called Elvis the Pelvis for a reason! So glad you liked the song. When we were kids, we actually wore out my dad's Elvis LPs.

Now THIS is music that gets me on the dance floor! You just can't sit still!

Michael Jackson got a lot his moves including the toe stance from Elvis. Even sang like Elvis in his early days with the screeching high voice. Not to mention he hired Elvis' road manager Joe Esposito to manage his tours, married Elvis' daughter Lisa Marie, had a pet monkey like Elvis did and named his home Neverland while Elvis' iconic home is Graceland. Michael and the Jackson 5 met Elvis and attended his concert in Lake Tahoe on May 26, 1974. Michael was in awe of him according to his brothers.

That’s his signature move, “Elvis the pelvis”

Elvis was fire..especially with Ann Margaret in Viva Las Vegas! Those two together just oozed sexuality

Elvis The Pelvis! His moves were considered vulgar by some. "Don't Be Cruel" is a good song. He performs it on The Ed Sullivan Show. Note that the camera only views him from the waist up, because his gyrations were to scandalous. But just a month later, he is back on performing "Hound Dog" & the camera catches his entire performance. The girls go crazy!

Wonderful reaction! The Ed Sullivan Show, the top rated variety show, wanted him for the ratings but tried to use camera angles to downplay his moves. Showed him only from the waist up. Didn't want to corrupt American youth! Would love to see your reaction the documentary "Elvis and The Black Community - That Echo Will Never Die"

I've watched a lot of reactions and this one's in my top 3 maybe even #1. Very entertaining!! Elvis didn't really dance. He just reacted to how the music made him feel. Where did he learn this? He grew up in a church where moving to the music was a thing for everybody. He slipped into black churches and attended gospel shows. He lived near and in black neighborhoods as a child and loved to watch people singing the blues on their porches and went to black house parties to see them dance. When he moved to Memphis at the age of 13, he loved to go to Beale Street which was a hub for R & B clubs. Nothing was ever choreographed for his stage shows. The band had to be alert because Elvis was very spontaneous, and he didn't even know what he'd be doing from one minute to the next.

Hahaha His dance moves are why he was called Elvis the pelvis

He’s not called THE KING for nothing! He will always be the king. No one will ever be greater.

This reaction is too cool!! lol Elvis is the whole package!! Much love, Elvis!!!

Elvis the Pelvis!!! Elvis could move! And it was natural to him.

Loved the reaction! One of my favorites to watch, Elvis - Polk Salad Annie Live

Where do you think MJ learned some of his moves? LOL He was around the same age I was watching Elvis perform in movies, on tv and at concerts. If you find the right video of Elvis performing Hound Dog you'll see where MJ got the idea to perfect that pop up on his toes move from. Credit to MJ for taking that move, perfecting it and making it even better. Check out Suspicious Minds and Polk Salad Annie live in Vegas 1970 for more Elvis moves.

Elvis choreographed that dance

Elvis became an almost overnight sensation, because he danced. If you watch the documentary Elvis & The Black Community Part 1, your will see Elvis around 1954 when he first performed, & for the first time, a singer danced while singing. That had never happened before. Singers stood still & sang, but Elvis used to say, if he couldn’t move, he couldn’t sing. Parents said it was vulgar & indecent so when he was televised, he was censored from the waist down, & only filmed from the waist up. It was incredibly frustrating for him, but he refused to perform standing still as he sang. Your Reactions to Elvis are always entertaining.

Elvis was and is the GOAT. He can do any type of music, rock, country, gospel, etc. You need to watch Make the World Go Away live in Vegas. Although this is a more country genre, everything he did was great.

My oldest sister was at University of Tennessee (pharmacy) in Memphis in the late fifties. On day she saw Elvis out & about and was hysterical telling us about it.

Absolutely Loved this Reaction 🤣🤣. Smiles all around..

Elvis had several hits in 57, including Jailhouse rock, one song of his took over the number 1 slot after another, and for over half the year he had a number 1 single on billboard 100 !!

He went to an evangelical (holy roller church) in Tupelo where they danced in the Holy Ghost. No lie...this was his dancing beginnings.

Awesome reaction bro 👍👍 Elvis just had it all, on and off the stage, He had everything that an entertainer, performer, and Artist could possibly have and be to this day👍

My Dad loved Elvis. We didn't have a car radio. So my Dad bought me a transistor radio so we could ride around listening to Elvis.

Hi sweetheart, this is my first time watching you react to Elvis and I love your reaction. Elvis did everything before anybody did anything. He is not only the greatest entertainer to ever live, but the most humane person. Elvis always said I just do what I feel and he went through a lot of hell to get past all the haters who thought he was vulgar with his moves. He could sing any kind of music, in all Hall of Fame s

Family and friends tells of him going to the black churches to sing in the choir. He loved the soul of gospel music. Look up his bio.

And you Just learned Listening to and watching Elvis makes you wanna dance! Get up and move!!!

Oh Elvis can dance! Suspicious Minds live performance is a must!!

Elvis the pelvis, the man is everything

You are so funny! His dancing is why they called him “Elvis the Pelvis”

He also is an actor a great actor. Check out his song crawfish from his movie King Creole. ♥️❤️👍 And I loved this reaction Elvis was all around talented movie actor singer dancer. One of his best movies we're two GI Blues and Speedway.

Hi AB! This is one of my favorite "oldies"! Others include Love Me Tender, Blue Suede Shoes, Can't Help Falling in Love with You, Heartbreak Hotel, Hound Dog, and Soldier Boy. Some are faster, some are slower. If you've ever seen the movie, Forrest Gump, you'll see where Elvis gets some of his moves lol. Elvis is like the world's first Rock Star!

I love Elvis! All of his songs are great but suspicious minds is one of my favorite. Viva las Vegas is another great one. Elvis impersonators are a whole rabbit hole to go into, they have massive competitions nationwide for them.

Would only show Elvis from the waist up on tv back in the day. AKA Elvis the Pelvis.

Crazy knees and crazy hips.... and yes MJ was very inspired by Elvis.... a lot more than he ever admited. Love Elvis and MJ

A great reaction, you should definitely do Suspicious Minds and Polk Salad Annie, both from Vegas 1970

fun fact, but not true that i know of, as in origin of the knee move. in the movie forest gump, young forest wore braces on his legs and "elvis" stayed at the house forest lived in. forest would do the knee thing and it became elvis's signature move and young forest saw elvis do the knee thing on tv and recognized it. my grandma loves elvis so much, so i grew up with all of his music and another thing i thought was unique and awesome. he does the same toe stand that MJ does, which just goes to show that music speaks to the soul of many people all around the world and they will adapt it into their own music/art

Thank for your dancing rections really love it✌️😍🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Elvis was born dancing & singing. Great to see you bust out your inner Elvis 😊

Elvis starred in 31 movies.jailhouse rock is a real good movie. Arsenio,hall said Elvis was black from the waist down.

Elvis the pelvis. He was incredible and I was so in love with him when I was a tween.😊😅😊

Elvis could move like no one else. That's why he earned the nickname Elvis the Pelvis. Banned on early TV from showing his gyrations because they were considered too obscene. Michael Jackson was definitely influenced by Elvis and so obsessed with him that he married Elvis' daugher Lisa Marie after all!

I can't wait for you to react to "Love Me Tender"! Great reaction AB!

Elvis had everything from head to toe , Elvis did everything first from the dance steps to shaking untouchable unique beautiful Elvis 👑👑

Elvis was considered "vulgar" for his dance moves in the puritanical 1950s. He wasn't trying to be sexual, but his moves made teen girls swoon all over the world!

Elvis was a brilliant dancer.

I'd love to see you react to this in which Elvis is singing the song: Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson (I got a feeling in my body) (3:36). Just as Elvis was influenced by many people who came before him, he was also an influence on others. Michael Jackson choreographed, practiced and perfected some of Elvis's moves.

Before Elvis There Was No Teenage Market . This One Man Alone Changed All That . Here In The UK And Throughout The World . The Rest Followed .

His dancing was important to everyone.

I 💗 your reactions!! You're funny and entertaining- keep up the great work !! 👍

AB you crazy but in a good way, as always your reactions are 🔥🔥🔥. Elvis was before my time, he died almost a year before (correction, after) I was born but yes he was a dancer. My parents song was by him, “Can’t Help Falling In Love”. Add that to your list.

Elvis himself said he sang a mixture Gospel country blues. Elvis is and will always be the greatest superstar that will never go out magnificent untouchable unique Mr Elvis Aaron presley forever 👑👑

Elvis choreography also. Dance Singer- Gospel, Blues, R n Roll, Country, Pop and more. Pianist Guitarist Songwriter 3 time Grammy AwArd winner. Actor

Elvis doing stanky before it’s time !! He definitely had soul !! If I can Dream is my fav from him in white suit .. he released it after MLK JR and Robert Kennedy was assassinated.. it really bothered Elvis and he wanted to do some kind of tribute !!

Want to see Elvis interact with his fans? Watch the 1970 live version of Love Me Tender.

You never fail to make me smile with these reactions, AB!! 😁👍🏻

They didn’t call him Elvis the pelvis for nothin. They would only film him waist up. And yes his dancing was huge influence on Michael Jackson.His gospel is outstanding.

This is from an Elvis movie. He didn't like their choreography for the song, so he did the choreography himself.

yep, "swivel hips" has got the moves, brother man. I love your responses, you were the first person I ever saw/heard doing a response, that was to The Righteous Brothers, 'You've Lost That Loving Feeling'. Now, this 74-year-old Hipster digs this new genre, and you.

My mom is 80. She was a teen when Elvis showed up on the scene and she’s still the biggest Elvis fan. She even watched Lisa Marie’s funeral online last week out of respect to Elvis.

AB, did you know that of All the songs Elvis recorded....the only ones he received Awards for was GOSPEL!!!

I will never get tired of watching this.🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thanks, man you're a great character.😀 You should see his 1968 version too. Yes, it entered No 1 in 1957.

You don't understand how when I was a little girl I was obsessed with Elvis! I'm talking OBSESSEDDDDDDD. 😂

He was also "drafted", and served our country. Good on him

Love it❤ Elvis was the King👍 this song is totally 🔥 🔥 RIP EP 😇🙏

Elvis is one of the best singers that has ever lived. He was also a fabulous entertainer. There is a reason he is called "The King". He had a great voice & could sing anything whether it was ballads, gospel or rock. He also acted in quite a few movies with great songs. "Jailhouse Rock" is considered one of the best (this is one of the first music videos). But I enjoy a lot of his other movies even though some consider them a bit corny.

He did all his own moves and taught everyone else how to follow him.

Elvis the Pelvis... dangerous hips 😊

Centuries ago they did Beethoven the same way. They said he was unsuitable for young people's ears... especially girls, as he arose passions. 💃💃💃💃💃💃

It’s all in the hips!!! The knees are just attached!

YOUR SO CUTE YOUR TELLING WHO THERE TO GO CHANGE THIER SHIRT 😊😊😊AND YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT BACK AND SEEE HOW YOU GOT OUT OF BREATH WITH JOY.❤ I JUST LOVE WATCHING YOUR ENJOYMENT OF ELVIS.. YES WE ALL DO..

People said bad things about Elvis .. wasn’t allowed to shake his hips on TV so when he did they only showed him fm waist up !! Secretary knows what’s up !! Lol 😂oh lawdy Presley Juice !! I’m dying 😂

Watch the mechanics of the knees. Left leg straight right knee in right hip out then do the same for the other side. Good moves ab

Your impression of Elvis is spot on!!!!!

In the 1950s, Elvis pioneered some of the most memorable dance moves, such as the Pole Dance, The Pelvis, and The Slide, but perhaps his most famous dance move is the Rubber Legs.

Just funning AB!!! I have always Loved watching and listening to ELVIS!!!

Loved your reaction. He danced in alot of his shows but this was the best.

Suspicious Mind from Live in Vegas 1970 and What Now My Love from Aloha from Hawaii

E is STILL at the head of the pack - he created outrageous, PERFORMANCE - R O C K!

I was raised on rock the elvis dances like hell version gives you a mad compilation of Elvis's dancing. Oh he wasn't a cousin to MJ but for a while he was MJs father in law

My favorite reaction of ALL. TIME.! LOL!

Just got your videos in my suggestions True l love Sir Elvis Presley 👑 🎤 He definitely got the moves Not sure if you have already reacted to the mini documentary Elvis and the black community its a excellent portrayal of this great man 👌 Your friendly Canadian neighbor from the Toronto 🇨🇦🇨🇦

Elvis was everything

You gotta remember, everything has been done before, and Elvis was one of the first to do it all.👌😎

Best song ever lol .. more Elvis please!!! Love this reaction!

My man Elvis beautiful inside and out. Love this movie and video

Elvis, the Legend, was the original "Stanky Leg" without a doubt.

Listen to his blue moon over Kentucky. My favorite version of the song.

Man, "those crazy knees" and I love your reaction, way kool, priceless, and grooves, makes me feel young again! I would be your rocking grannie fan.

Remember the times!! He was SCANDALOUS!!!

Known as Elvis the Pelvis he was threatened with arrest in Jacksonville in 1956 if his shows included his hip gyrations. They did NOT. He was greeted by local judge Marion Gooding who ordered Presley to remove his signature move from his act - or face immediate arrest during the show. Ironically, the judge’s objections - as well as those of local church groups - only served to elevate the hype surrounding Elvis Presley’s shows, all six of which were to be performed in front of sold-out crowds. Sure enough, Gooding was not bluffing. He showed up to each show, along with local police officers ready to act on an arrest warrant that was issued by the judge in the event things went awry.

You said " where can I get a jailhouse rock knee " 🤣🤣💀

Iris is from one of his movies . I saw it when I was about 13 years old. It was so exciting. I saw him in person 3rd row from the stage. He danced, and rolled on the floor. It was a bit shocking for me. But I loved it He had a gold suit on .

Elvis did the first video on tv I think. You know he could act too. Love his movies.💕
