Jamel, it's just unique. His style, his voice, his showmanship, his lopsided smile, his good looks, his fame, but sad to say his drugs addiction took him away from us sooner then we expected. He was a choir boy when young, Fame and fortune brought him to ruins, very very sad. No one can help Elvis during that time but only Elvis himself. We all miss him.
a song written by French Gilles Thibaut and Claude François, with music composed by Jacques Revaux and Claude François, released in November 1967 in France.
@Seamus Lannon ...i was being sarcastic. I know Sinatra mad it a hit. I was born in '56 and my mother played Sinatra, Dean (Martin) basically the Rat Pack. Big Band Singers Dorsey etc. the very large RCA console stereo. But hell fire, when Tom Jones came to America and had his own TV show, their was no talking in the house. Try keeping 4 kids quiet..haha You should cheek out Sal on America's Got Talent. He got a kiss form Heidi Klum and the gold.
@@mstewart109 ...you are correct about Tom Jones. My moms from England. My dad was stationed in England. They married and had four of us dual citizenship that England recognized, and the U.S. didn't. I call it England because it aggravates the British. That want to be Great Britain again. Sorry went way off point. One day Tom Jones tv show was getting ready to start. I said mom your Tommy's about to start. She said she was too busy...all of us just starred at each other, with that stepford wife look. 3 sisters and me. Well to get to the point, and not reliving the play by play. My mom was mad because He got his start in England and they made him an international star. Well Mr Jones was praising his home Country of Wales. He was very proud to be Welch, but he forgot to mention the people of England, who supported that young Welch kid and got him noticed to be what he became to be. My mother got over it, and was back watching him swinging those hips in the tight black pants. Tom help Elvis with some of his dance moves when Elvis started performing again, especially the Vegas shows. The End
Eddie Haskel 😂. Tom Jones! Yes! Jamal should check Him out! He was Awesome! You should watch the video of Tom & Janis Joplin! WOW! It’s Great! Raise a Hand!
My wife said she saw him in concert in South Bend Indiana in 1976..and it was unforgettable! People were cheering throughout the concert so loud it was hard to hear him sing.Many people stood throughout the concert cheering him on. He always ended the concert by singing " I cant help falling in love with you".As he was singing it and when he finished the crowd was calling out "ELVIS DON'T GO"!!!! over and over as he shook hands and gave out kisses....it was emotional to be in the stadium hearing the thunderous cheering and asking him to stay....
Watching Elvis on stage--which I did only once, when I was very young--was the most impactful moment of my life. It was a true religious experience that took me to another realm. There has never and will never be anyone else to compare to Elvis.
He was Electrifying he was bigger than life. They'll never be another Elvis Presley. The things this man did, the stories his generosity, he basically gave everything he had, he was just to Generous. He loved looking at peoples faces when he would give them something.. no one till this day did what this man did.. TCB⚡
Beautiful. ...It doesn't matter who else sings this song.When Elvis sings this it becomes his story and his song....thank you again for the great video choices !!!
My husband didn't have very many artists he listened to but, THE KING! I always told him Elvis was singing this song to him! I played this for him everyday of the last 2 months of his life and played it again at his funeral 10 years ago and this my new friend, Jamel was the first time I have listened to this again! Yes, many tears and great sorrow at the loss not only a TRUE WORLD SUPERSTAR but, also my SUPERSTAR! Yes, we were lucky enough to see Elvis 4 times and also own ever vinyl he ever made!
Having seen Elvis in concert four times let me tell you....it’s something you never ever forget. He did one hour, no more, and no encores but he gave 110%.....incredible!!!
Saw Elvis in ‘73. He was n shape & gorgeous. I’ve been to numerous concerts but none touched the charisma & talent this man had. I was a kid & still found him without any flaws PERIOD. PRETTIEST man I’ve ever seen
I was there. MSG in 1973. Nothing like it. At that stage of his career there were some critics. But when he walked out on stage the place stopped! The King had arrived!
The man blew the roof off the music world He is the standard that very few can live up to. He was a gift that was more appreciated once it was lost sadly. Thank you for every "Elvis" day. He was a fascinating man with a fascinating journey and I hope you continue discovering him. Thank you also for taking requests and not doing the same performances over and over. It's nice to subscribe to a channel that cares what the subscribers want to see.
Elvis sings every song like he's lived it, there's just something special about his voice and actually just something special about him! Can't compare him to anyone because he barely moves in his older self and still he could make you cry with his presence and voice
This comes from Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite which was a TV special event. If you can you should watch the show in its entirety. I was fortunate to see Elvis Presley live in 74 and it was phenomenal. There was such a wide range of ages in the audience....
reno145 no it’s because the amount song he sang gold records he has and his god given abilities plus how many records he sold . Here is a true fact you can put every record Elvis sold side by side and it would go around the world 2and half times
This is originally French song titled Comme d"Habitude (As usual), Paul Anka wrote English lyrics and it was performed by Frank Sinatra. For Elvis it was a confession of his life and it kind of had good-bye feeling, that's why it always makes me tear up and gives me chills, especially when he sings "and now the end is near and I must face the final curtain".. so overwhemingly sad knowing he will be gone in little more than 3 years... Karolina/Poland
The saddest thing is he owed no confession of his life to anyone. We somehow held this man to higher standards than ourselves. As fans we drained him in a way. He owed none of us anything he gave so much in so many ways, what he did in private was his business. I agree it does make me sad in retrospect.
It's the music Elvis makes that blows your mind. I have seen ALOT.......ALOT.......... of bands,singers Concerts. And the ONLY one I have ever seen, Were all and I mean all the people, Sat in their seat, Is the Elvis concert, Cause only he had the magic that engulfed the entire crowd as if hypnotized to the God given power that {as 73 years } so far, Has shown. That only he commanded that total control not only his vocals but the Heart, Minds And Souls of his adoring fans , And I thank God And Elvis,That I was one that sat in a seat in Omaha,Ne 6/30/75 8:30pm And I have a very vivid memory of that night and please believe me..... You-tube, Record, Tape or C.D Or the reaction video's does not do him justice. As in person really was the way to feel that unbelievable , Undeniable volt of charisma that give him that powerful vibration to be weak as a willow or wild as the raging sea to move the world in the way he sang from with- in him--- Projecting it out to us.....And that , Is what Elvis did FOR and TO the world!! He was like a f-5 Tornado once in his grip, You could not help but become another ADORING FAN I don't know everyone that touched the entire world ................. BUT I KNOW ELVIS DID ......................... .......Extra..... Elvis Presley - " Life " ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T4cWkMXrGjo.html ..............

What a tribute that is such a beautiful tribute to Elvis thank you for sharing that with Jamal and your links and if so many Elvis stories of people that actually knew him and some sites share that with him maybe he can start reacting to that too! From one fan to another thank you BN
Aloha from Hawaii--the first simultaneous live concert via satellite. I remember it like it happened yesterday. I was 12 when the concert aired and had already been in love with Elvis for at least 11 of my 12 yrs on earth. He was scheduled to come to my hometown for a concert in September of 1977--unfortunately, God called him for a command performance in heaven first. It's wonderful that his music still resonates with people of all ages. Thanks so much for carrying the torch on!
The difference between Sinatra and Elvis was: Sinatra just sings a song ( great song, no doubt). Elvis sings it and feels it! And it feels like he is singing about his own life!
I agree. Sinatra was a really good singer but idc to hear his songs more than once lol. I think Elvis' version of any song will always be superior. Without Elvis there would be no Beatles.
Alamea, I agree with you on your explanation of the differences between Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley. I just don't know why people have to get ugly in the comments toward one another.
@@Paul-sl1si I guess it's a special Sinatra/Elvis phenomenon. I sometimes made the experience that those who are longtime, huge Elvis fans have a problem with Frank and the other way around. Although i have to admit that i'm not a huge Sinatra fan, i always try to be fair. Did i get ugly? You can be honest!
Elvis is the king still today and will be for years to come. There are great singers, entertainers, bands, actors, musicians...but Elvis stands above all. I listen to him and totally forget about daily struggles and feel a calmness set in.
I'm glad to see more people discovering Elvis and appreciating his work. This is from the Aloha From Hawaii concert (1973), which was quite a big deal at the time. It was the VERY FIRST live concert by ANYONE via satellite. How appropriate that Elvis had that honor. I remember watching it when I was 12 years old.
I was lucky enough to see Elvis just a couple of months before he passed away. So glad Jamel has been introduced to the Elvis that we loved. Elvis could sing anything. Loved Elvis in the 50s and love him today.
Powerful, Powerful voice...He's so versatile. It's amazing how he's able to change his vocals depending on what song. No one will be able to top that, not then, not even now. Period!!! Miss his music so much...LOVE YOU ALWAYS ELVIS! Thanks for sharing Jamel
Just make sure you pick the right video of it there are 2 1 from the actual concert and 1 from the rehearsal concert. When he sang it in the actual concert he hits a full 3 octave at the end.
@@rickm2765 my way not interesting come on. Its a very powerful song when Elvis sings it. But I know what you mean about What now my love it's a great song to.
I was 18 when Elvis died I grew up in a household where my parents were playing Elvis before I was born, so I grew up with Listening to his music, it was so normal, and like everybody else we felt we knew him, and when he died it was the 1st time I saw my parents cry and it affected me so much, That even today when I think of Elvis being gone it takes me back, and I realize the loss, that hole is still there. We'll always miss his bright light that's for sure 😍🥰
I was born & raised in Memphis. Grew up about about a mile from Graceland. We used to hang outside the gates & wait for him to come out. He gave away a lot of Cadillacs. I was in the 5th grade when he died. The city came to a complete standstill. I remember it like it was yesterday & it was 1977. Love love love Elvis 💖💖💖
Truly great artists are few & far between & Elvis was tops in my humble opinion. True iconic legend who's music will gain new fans & live on for eternity. True greatness. Love from the UK x
Elvis was and still is the boss of the music industry this beautiful man will never die out there’s thousands of the younger generation are listening to Elvis this man is something special I hope there’s a heaven and Elvis is looking down on all his fans from a round the world an smiling Elvis sure did do it his way RIP beautiful 💙👑
It's like I've always said, Elvis had IT in a way very very few did. No matter what he sang, it was spellbinding simply because of the voice and the electricity he brought to a room just by being in it.
Thank you for keeping Elvis alive. I tried to listen to this song again and share it with you but Elvis was my hero. I couldn’t finish this video. The tears and emotions were too much
They say that more than 1 1/2 Billion people saw this show after all was said and done. Incredible talent! No one comes close. Thanks for your reaction. Hard to top Elvis!
Need to find the clip of Elvis and Frank Sinatra on the welcome home Elvis' after he came home from the Army. He is drop dead gorgeous. They singing each other songs.
You are on your Elvis journey, Brother, and I will never request a song. You will find them, including a few hidden nuggets out there, and you will continue doing what you are doing - shining a light for the King! TCB
@@wynstansmom829 a really good song and a surprisingly good film. A lot of the dancers who appeared in his 68 Comeback Special were in it. I am sure you know his dad Vernon was in it as well.
@@AmishElvis1 On the Edge of Reality and No, The girl with the nameless face did not know this but Thank you. I will go aGoogling. [Outro] Reality, reality, reality, reality Reality, reality, reality, reality Malcolm Gladwell has a podcast and in one of his episodes, he discusses why Elvis could not sing the lyrics the way that they were written for the song, "Old Shep". Have you heard Dr. Gladwell's podcast? It is a fascinating insight into our Motherless Elvis or was it someone else?
Elvis went on a 500 calorie a day diet before this performance because it was such a huge event and he wanted to look and sound the best he could for the fans. He gave his all with every performance to please his fans and that’s one reason he’s called the king of R&R!!
There was and always will be only one Elvis "The King" of music, period...Michael Jackson was in another field of music and you cannot compare them, side by side...Elvis is and was and will always be the number one entertainer of all times...
I was SO BLESSED to experience him in concert LIVE! I can NEVER explain the AURA in the building that day! Stills gives chills to think about it!! I miss ELVIS SO MUCH!!♥️
Elvis just whanted to help the world and change and help the music paformers from then til the end of time to do it your way ,and to listan to yourslf and dont change yourself for who you are.He realy cared about everyone ,and he gave much mor than his perfection talent.100000&💋🇺🇸🍀🌩️🤩😍👍✌️
I was lucky enough to see him live several times. In my life I have seen a lot of performers, only a hand full, Michael Jackson, Springsteen, James Brown, may be a couple others could command a stage like elvis. Today's artists could learn so much by studying them.
its been said many times before, this man had a presence where you felt him before you seen him , not to sound corny and crazy but there has to be something about elvis presley that no other human had, and you can see n feel it in videos like this, 2ND TO NONE, THE KING!
He sang from the bottom of his heart, with all his soul!!! Love this man! Incredibly beautiful and talented! A voice from heaven! My favorite song!!R:I:P: Elvis!!!
Iconic.... OmG... just listened to your comment... I was raised on Elvis... but LORD knows I loved Michael too.. what amazing entertainers they were... and we lost them both too young
That is why he was the king!! Elvis had such a troubled soul, yet he was just amazing! He died shortly after he sang this song and it was his first time singing it!
Paul anka wrote the song, and this is what Frank Sinatra had to say about Elvis singing the song. I shall miss him dearly as a friend. He was a warm, considerate and generous man." So Ithink we can say that in the 1950's, Frankwasn't a fan of Rock and Roll in general but thought Elvis had a natural talent. By 1977 hehad become a fan!
I was lucky, I got to see him 5 times! Elvis, the hair on the back of my head stood up when came out even before he even started singing! I was 13 when he came to Louisville on Nov.7, 1971. My two sisters & brother in- law got seats the side very close the stage. But the backup singers and speakers on stage blocked Elvis. So Col. Tom Parker, Elvis manager before the concert, I yelled for Parker to come over. We told him we bought tickets to see Elvis and the view of the singers & the tall speakers in the way we wouldn't see much. If u herd stories on him is could be rude. He told us nothing he could. So he walked away sent of one of Elvis's bodyguard and he moved on the floor on the side close to the stage! I'm telling I'm 62 now & saw him very good looking back then! U would have been blown away how his voice sounded even better in person. I often wonder if his bodyguard told Elvis that little kids gave Col. Tom Parker a hard way to go lol!
It's hard to accurately describe.what Elvis's impact on the world and the world of music. Whatever the Lord Jesus gave him and made millions of women sincerely love him then and now is impossible to state. I been to 5 concerts in my town in the 70's he was incredible. When he died I heard the news and spaced out the rest of the day. Actually the whole world stopped when he died. There were 80,000 people in Memphis in front of Graceland at his funeral Everyone was quiet and respectful. He was the epitomy of artist and I love him.
