Elvis Presley, The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - Kentucky Rain (Official Audio) 

Who still have a good taste in 2024?

My absolute favourite of all of Elvis' songs. So, so many amazing songs.... But this one.... This one is special.

My god Elvis's voice is so beautiful and powerful he just gives you chills

Fantastic version of this song really like the intro and Elvis's voice in out of this world. Long live the king of music

He still rocks in 2024 ❤

I love this song!! His voice is really wonderful!!

This is a very well written song. You can just picture a cold rainy day in Kentucky in your mind. I've seen many of them.

Elvis will always be the king ..such a great voice and so many great songs

An absolute treat for the ears! Elvis' perfect voice and the legendary Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Put on your headphones and just let it take you over. One of the sweetest treats ever.

All of his songs are Outstanding!!.. But, this one in my opinion.. brings out the very best of Elvis!! 🦅 One can close their eyes & picture this man singing in front of them!! 👍

true the greatest voice of all time ..long live the king

Bless you Elvis 🌹The wonder of you.

His best song .....and a timeless classic

I remember being 5 and 6 years old in the 70's and listening to this song on a 45 on my little red suitcase record player.. still enjoy listening to it and his very early gospel music..💯💕

I didn't know Elvis work until I started dating a German gentleman 16 years my senior who was obsessed by Elvis. I remember spending one entire weekend watching every single documentary and info my boyfriend had on Elvis. When we finished watching everything, a sense of despair, anger, loss took over me and for months I mourned this God's messenger the world knew by the name of Elvis Presley. My heart went out for his only daughter and his fans that truly truly loved him. I didn't know about this amazing work with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra until last night when a stumbled to a documentary done by Joanna Lumley Elvis and Me done in 2015. I spent the whole night watching the concert in Hawaii, paying attention to every single song he was singing and the way the women responded to him. I am not a religious freak but a spiritual person. Elvis was surrounded by greedy, ungodly, perverts that did nothing to recognized this spirit of light. Elvis did not belong to this world and that is why he left us so soon. WE - his daughter and fans - were robbed big time. It is painful to hear his voice, see his angel face and realized that he is gone. Elvis is now part of heaven's choir and he is back in the arms of His Creator. The Creator he truly truly loved and tried to serve by giving his earthly goods and possession to whoever passed by his life, and Elvis gave himself to the world. Some how, every time I listen to Don McLean song done in memory of Vincent Van Gogh there is two parts of the song that it reminds me of Elvis Presley passing by planet earth that goes like this: Now, I understand, what you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free They would not listen, they did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now For they could not love you But still your love was true And when no hope was left in sight On that starry, starry night You took your life as lovers often do But I could have told you, ELVIS This world was never meant for one As beautiful as you Until we meet again Elvis my brother. Rest in peace.

His voice was a gift from God!!!;

This voice was a gift from God... just out of this world

MOST BEAUTIFUL VOICE I'VE EVER HEARD !

I am addicted to Elvis’s voice & this haunting song… #KentuckyRain. ❤️

Elvis once said in an interview that he seldom did "Kentucky Rain," in concert because it's not an easy song to sing. I do know this -- one of my friends who's a guitarist and not a big Elvis fan said both "Kentucky Rain," and "Suspicious Minds," are masterful songs by Elvis, seldom heard by pop singers. I guess that's why he's called the King. This new version with the Royal Philharmonic is stunning. My thanks to the orchestra and Abbey Road Studios for doing justice to these relics -- renewed and polished for sure.

What a voice, what a song with those backing vocals !

I love this Song, he sings it with pure Emotion.

Seven lonely days and a dozen towns ago I reached out one night and you were gone Don't know why you'd run, what you're running to or from All I know is I want to bring you home So I'm walking in the rain, thumbing for a ride On this lonely Kentucky back road I've loved you much too long, my love's too strong To let you go, never knowing what went wrong Kentucky rain keeps pouring down And up ahead's another town that I'll go walking through With the rain in my shoes Searching for you In the cold Kentucky rain In the cold Kentucky rain 🎵🎶🎵🎶 Showed your photograph to some old gray-bearded men Sitting on a bench outside a general store They said, "Yes, she's been here" But their memory wasn't clear Was it yesterday? No, wait, the day before Finally got a ride with a preacher man who asked "Where you bound on such a cold dark afternoon?" As we drove on through the rain, as he listened, I explained And he left me with a prayer that I'd find you Kentucky rain keeps pouring down And up ahead's another town that I'll go walking through With the rain in my shoes Searching for you In the cold Kentucky rain

Elvis will "Always" rock 💫👑

Not only did Elvis have a marvelous voice, he was a master at phrasing. This is very wordy to keep time to

This song and Such a Night are very vey underrated. They are both masterpieces of vocal control and power. There is only one Elvis and you can hear the best of him in this version

This is one of the many songs of Elvis that I like. There's really nobody in this planet that can be compared to him. He is special & unique.

REALLY? Some are upset? I can't understand why so many are offended about updates as I am sure even Elvis would have wanted them. If they watch and listen Elvis HIMSELF changed or permitted his sound to change during the years to stay relevant. Thus, we categorize his different sound eras. For example, Elvis was Executive Producer on Moody Blue and had some charge of what was released and that doesn't sound anything like the American Studio sessions of 1969 at which time these vocals were originally produced. As a matter of fact if I remember correctly, Elvis while on stage would say, This is one of the first songs I that I ever recorded. We had a rythm guitar and a steel base and it went like this regarding "That's alright mama." BUT the whole show didn't have just that minimalist sound did it? Should we criticize the fact that he didn't always wear the same Gold Lam'e suit every performance too? Elvis REQUESTED fresh and trend setting designs for the Vegas years etc. This really points to the fact that many think they know Elvis better than Elvis knew himself. I feel sad for those people. Regarding the Original vocal recordings. Ronnie Milsap was asked about working with Elvis. "I was in a studio in 1969, and Elvis brought his producer to Memphis to record at American Studios. I played on [his] record Kentucky Rain. Elvis always said, “More thunder on the piano, Milsap.” He was fun to be around." They say that Memphis Mafia member Marty Lacker was instrumental for the American Studios recording sessions that include Kentucky Rain and In The Ghetto. Marty Lacker remembered, The American group came close to being Elvis ’s backup band onstage, with Chips Moman handling the sound as Felton Jarvis would do later, although Chips dismissed the invitation. “There was some talk about it, but there was just some talk floatin’ around,” he said indifferently. According to Marty Lacker, it was more than that. Elvis was so impressed with Chips and the group that he had been quite serious about hiring them for the Las Vegas comeback shows he was planning.“Elvis asked Chips about backing him in Vegas as we were standing in the control room. To my surprise, Chips at that moment said yes. However, on second thought later, he changed his mind because Colonel Parker, on purpose, offered low money and Chips and the musicians were not going to give up more money than they could make doing sessions. Parker didn’t want them to back Elvis because he was still pissed that he lost control of Elvis during the American sessions and he didn’t want Chips influencing Elvis any further.”

Glorious music from a legend. Hr will always be the best he has no equal. Perfection personified

Elvis wanted to sing to a full Orchestra so well done to the royal Orchestra and since i'm British i'm proud of our Orchestra go with the times you think to much of the past live one day at a time . Most of the music now a days is rubbish , there are lack of emotion and feeling in some people s music now a days. 50s 60s and 77 where the best music going then, when Elvis past away the music as gone down hill.

love this song so haunting...one of my fav.s from the 70s...or 69....when recorded.. thank god for Elvis...with out a song man ain't got a friend...I make you right...

My God that man could sure sing. One of my fav Eddie Rabbitt/Elvis songs, with just amazing production. Thank you!

So awesome with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra ! His music lives on. He would of been 82 today we're he still with us. RIP Elvis.

Elvis #1

Al final de sus canciones siempre me queda un nudo en la garganta,de emoción y de gran nostalgia..cómi seria haberlo vusto cantar en vivo..!!

forever Elvis !!! the best voice of the world

now. this is. brilliant. music. from. our. man. the mighty. king. Elvis.

This has always been one of my favorites from Elvis. It is one of the songs he did much later in his career. Along with "Suspicious Minds", it is one of his comeback songs. The arrangement and being accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra make this a real treat!!! LOVE IT!!

The story of Elvis Presley is amazing. His twin brother was lost at birth and later he must have thought of him often. His brothers became those who he served with in the US Army in West Germany and others he performed with, and sisters, too. His ability to sing in a way that lead to meaning in his songs will never be forgotten.

So sad to see 263 hands down 😢to the one & only LEGEND of music ...RIP Elvis you will live forever xx♥️♥️🙏

When he paired with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, he created beautiful magic once again. Listen to how beautiful this iconic recording is.

I bought and played Elivis’s long playing records. When I heard that he had passed away, I broke them all. Now at 77 years of age I listen to Elvis on U Tube. ❤❤❤

I just love this song.

Love this man , love his music ❤️

Seven lonely days And a dozen towns ago I reached out one night And you were gone Don't know why you'd run, What you're running to or from All I know is I want to bring you home So I'm walking in the rain, Thumbing for a ride On this lonely Kentucky backroad I've loved you much too long And my love's too strong To let you go, never knowing What went wrong Kentucky rain keeps pouring down And up ahead's another town That I'll go walking thru With the rain in my shoes, Searchin for you In the cold Kentucky rain, In the cold Kentucky rain Showed your photograph To some old gray bearded man Sitting on a bench Outside a gen'ral store They said 'Yes, she's been here' But their memory wasn't clear Was it yesterday, No, wait the day before So I fin'ly got a ride With a preacher man who asked 'Where you bound on such a dark afternoon?' As we drove on thru the rain As he listened I explained And he left me with a prayer That I'd find you

Everytime tears in my eyes

This is absolutely gorgeous work! I can't stop listening to it. What an amazing treatment of a fantastic song. It brings Elvis into the 21st Century while remaining faithful to the source material. If Elvis had ever done a concert with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, it would have sounded just like this. Think of these albums as a wonderful virtual concert. Bravo, and long live the King!

Outstanding !!!!!!

Música excelente, grande Elvis

Je parle au nom des français pour te dire elvis que tu seras à jamais dans nos mémoires

This period was to me, his pinnacle of a more pure, clear style of singing. Great resonance, vibrato, emotion. I'm Just A Roustabout, Kentucky Rain, And Marie's The Name of his latest Flame, et al. He was at his best.

KENTUCKY RAIN (Anglais et Français) By Eddie Rabbit - Dick Heard Seven lonely days and a dozen towns ago Ça fait sept solitaires jours et une douzaine de villes I reached out one night and you were gone Que je suis sortie une nuit et tu étais partie, Don't know why you'd run, what you're running to or from Sans que je sache pourquoi tu t’étais enfuie, ni vers quoi. All I know is I want to bring you home Tout que je sais c’est que je veux te ramener à la maison. So I'm walking in the rain, thumbing for a ride Aussi je marche sous la pluie, faisant du stop pour une course On this lonely Kentucky backroad Sur cette arrière route solitaire du Kentucky. I've loved you much too long; my love's too strong Je t’ai aimé trop longtemps, mon amour est trop fort, To let you go, never knowing what went wrong. Pour te laisser en allez, ne sachant absolument pas ce qui a tourné mal. Kentucky rain keeps pouring down, La pluie torrentiel du Kentucky continue à tomber fort, And up ahead's another town that I'll go walking through, Et, droit devant, une autre ville que je vais traverser, With the rain in my shoes, searching for you Avec la pluie dans mes chaussures, cherchant après toi, In the cold Kentucky rain, in the cold Kentucky rain. Dans la pluie froide du Kentucky, dans la pluie froide du Kentucky. Showed your photograph to some old gray bearded men J’ai montré ta photo à de vieux hommes à la barbe grise, Sitting on a bench outside a general store Assis sur un banc à l'extérieur d'un magasin général, They said "Yes, she's been here" Ils ont dit "oui, elle a été ici" But their memory wasn't clear. Mais leur mémoire n'était pas claire. Was it yesterday? No, wait the day before. “Était-ce hier ? Non, attendez… le jour d’auparavant”. Finally got a ride, with a preacher man who asked, J’ai finalement obtenu de monter auprès d’un pasteur qui a demandé : "Where you bound on such a cold, dark afternoon?" "Où bondissez-vous par un tel après-midi froid et sombre ?" As we drove on through the rain, as he listened I explained Pendant que nous roulions à travers la pluie, come il m’écoutait je lui ai expliquais. And he left me with a prayer that I'd find you. Et il m'a quitté avec une prière afin que je te trouve. Kentucky rain keeps pouring down, La pluie du Kentucky continue à tomber fort, And up ahead's another town that I'll go walking through, Et, droit devant, une autre ville que je vais traverser, With the rain in my shoes, searching for you Avec la pluie dans mes chaussures, cherchant après toi, In the cold Kentucky rain, in the cold Kentucky rain. Dans la pluie froide du Kentucky, dans la pluie froide du Kentucky. In the cold Kentucky rain, (6 fois) Dans la pluie froide du Kentucky,

Eddie Rabbit (God Bless Hin) wrote this song and watched Elvis record it. It was Elvis 50th gold record

Elvis brought me together with a fabulous friend when we became friends when we went to London for an Elvis convention, we are still friends to this day and that was 1970

Makes me wonder if he realized just how special his voice was.

Sad this only has 900k views!! This new generation has no idea what they are missing

This is one of the Kings finest performances which must mean it is one of the greatest performances of all time by anyone.Sublime.

Great vocals so expressive from rhe heart. Timeless.

as he got older his voice seemed to have gotten better..if that was possible..brilliant 😃

At age 42 Elvis was"burned out"from so many concerts some back too back like in Vegas he did 14 shows in 7 days.His success finally led too his demise.Merry Christmas everyone from Orem,UT.🎅🧑‍🎄

Wow, awesome vocals, a gifted performer.

Melancholy but that man can sing. He sings like he's the one in the songs he sings, personally involved. It just awesome.

Nothing compares to Elvis pre 1965 . His voice was at its best during that era . And as he once said in the early 60s , (when strings and orchestra was becoming in vogue) , he didn't need them as long as he had the Jordanaires . However , I do love the R.P.H. on the original (1956) Love Me Tender .

his voice, of all time the best,thanks to cilla, doing this Version.

How can you Better an ELVIS ARON Classic? They just Did, INCREDIBLE Especially in Stereo Headphones!

With the old version we could hear the rain ´ the thunder , wet hair and clothes .

One of the Kings best songs

never thought anything could make this gem better.....you did royal philharmonic. and of course that voice.

Masterful. What a collaboration. It was hard to enhance the original, but the RPO managed it

Pure gold

I like it ! Priscilla LET it hear for the masses !!!ll

my mom and my sister loved this song. RIP both of them.

reminds me that I need to glue my shoe back together. living my best life!

Wow! I love this song.

Great song !!!

Billions thanks, to universe.. .

This is bliss! Elvis' best here.
