Elvis Presley - You Gave Me A Mountain (Aloha From Hawaii, Live in Honolulu, 1973) REACTION 

Elvis wanted to serve his country.

…Elvis was the FIRST and BEST! ...No singer was and is as famous as Elvis and has been for almost 70 years!! He has everything a singer needs: VOICE, GOOD LOOKS, SEXY, HUMOR... and above all an incredible CHARISMA!! ... He is still unsurpassed today and a singer for eternity!! ✨💎✨🕺🏻🕯 Thank you

The Greatest of All Time!! You may like "Its Over!" By the G.O.A.T, Elvis, of course!!❤❤❤❤❤❤!

Elvis back then was like current day, rap artists, etc with the bling and over the top clothes, the Cadillacs. He was called to service at the height of his success, and he never tried to get out of going into the army as as well while he was in there, he didn’t want to be treated any different. There were times they wanted him to perform, and he refused to.

Elvis was never in prison but his father was. Also Elvis served in Army for 2 years . He went in at the height of his career . It was that or be drafted! The Korean War was over by then so no war , he served in Germany. His mom passed away while he was stationed in Germany. Elvis was very close to his mother, when she passed he was devastated.

Elvis served his country in Germany

This is a song he sang...he sings with emotion

A great reaction to a brilliant Elvis performance. He felt the song. His mother did not die giving him life, but his twin brother died at birth. His mother died as he was sent to the army and he was greatly affected. He had also been through a divorce, with his wife taking his daughter to live with her.

Another banger Elvis song In the Ghetto. Highly recommend live performance, also You're Always on my mind another great song from Elvis

This Song was not Specifically about his Life but there were some Parallels that he could relate to. At the time Elvis sang this in 1973 at the age of 38, Elvis's wife Priscilla had left him for another man and took his little Girl with her and they were going through a divorce. She just wanted a normal life but that wasn't possible with somebody as famous as Elvis. Elvis usually looked for songs he could relate to in some way, he also had friends that knew what was going on in his life and wrote songs for him to sing.

Elvis sings with so much conviction and emotion, it is understandable that you believe the words to his songs. He is just singing what someone else wrote, but he feels it alright. Great reaction. I love your lingo. He is a little older here, 38. 🔥❤️🔥❤️

la BOMBE Du siécle 😇💖💣💣💥💫👏👏🙏🙏🙏""""

Wow! Beautiful ❤️🔥🔥🔥

Elvis picks his songs ,that can relate to the average person

Elvis was not a song writer, so this is not autobiographical. A song may speak to him, but it is not about him. Marty Robbins, a country singer, wrote this song in the 1960s. Elvis took songs and arranged them to make them his own. He sings this very powerfully. Elvis was drafted in 1958. He received his summons and reported for duty as required. He never was threatened with jail as he did exactly as required. Elvis was 38 when he performed the Aloha from Hawaii concert. It’s hard to believe he would be dead 4 years later. Songs to consider: Steamroller Blues Kentucky Rain You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me If I Can Dream Burning Love American Triology My Way Suspicious Minds- Live Las Vegas version The live performances will always be the best to react to.

This song is not about himself. Great song..great reaction ❤

This was a cover for Elvis. This was first a hit for country singer Marty Robbins. However Elvis took it and made it his own.

Great reaction to a great song performed by the greatest. Elvis was 🔥

He didn't go to prison he did go to the army for 2 years and please react to new orleans from his movie scene king creole I know for a fact u will love it thanks I love ur reactions!

His bling was impressive. In today's money, each ring would cost from $200,000 to $300,000 each. He was known to just give them away to fans.

Happy 89th birthday to Elvis, January 8, 1935. His twin brother was still born but he was born with the strength of both. Elvis always sang songs that some truths in them and he connected them like no one else.

As for the jewelry, Elvis was famous for taking off his jewelry and giving it away to the point that in some close shots during concerts you can see that some of his fingers are wrapped with tape to keep him from removing certain rings.

No his mother died when he was 23 years old when he was in the army it hurt him so much!

If you like someone who bleeds when they sing, there is always truth to Elvis singing. In the Ghetto is a story of him growing up in the Ghetto and how poor he was. He lived in a black neighborhood and with friends from there. There is always truth to Elvis’s songs. You just have to know his history and you’ll get it immediately. Thank you. He many times was a storyteller as he sang with something he went through or close to it himself. That’s why he’d grab onto your soul till you cried at times. He had that cry voice that sounded like he cried and sang at the same time which put forth so much emotion from him. 😊❤❤

Let's things get into order: this song is not about Elvis! Elvis was not songwriter, but he's sing things you can be related to. He's sing very emotional

Oh and don't forget songs that u will love to is his songs make the world go away and just pretend those songs are so great it's live also

BRO, Always look forward to your reactions! ELVIS did not go to jail or prison. But if many people actually would have had the chance, they would have. There is a 2-Part documentary called "Elvis Presley and The Black Community, That Echo Will Never Die" Part 1 & 2, that will give you a better idea how many older conservative people viewed him and his music. Just home from the military, there is an older video of his appearance on "The Frank Sinatra Show", an early black & white television performance of ELVIS performing two song's, and a duet with "Ole Blue Eyes" himself, Frank Sinatra. THANK YOU!

This song doesn't talk about him. But he chose the songs that gave him a special feeling or that he felt mostly because of lyrics or music.

🔥🔥🔥 Fire

He changed the world. I was around for much of it. He stayed around and number one for so long that he just became family. We loved him. We prayed for Him. We knew EVERYTHING about him and everyone around him. Ever. You have no idea. He was on the news more than the president. Multiple times a day. No internet and stuff. I still contend that television was made for/by Elvis so the world could move forward. The universe abides!

Fire!!!! 🔥 📛 👨‍🚒 🚒 🧯 🥵🤜🤛

👑✌️

Thank you!

🔥❤👑❤️🔥

THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS❤️ Elvis inspires you to be a better human being❤️ You bring me and other Elvisfans a lot of Joy and Love❤️ Welcome to the Elvisfamily..It is filled with LOVE and FUN❤️😉

Check out ' Bridge over Troubled Waters ' Elvis took that song to new levels,Absolutely blow you away! ❤👑👑👑👑👑❤

Elvis had had to climb many hills & mountains by 1973 when he did this live concert, & his divorce had just gone through 2 weeks before he did this concert. Elvis was not only an amazing singer with a unique voice, but he was the most wonderful storyteller, because he put so much passion & emotion into every song he sang. After finishing his contract as an actor, which had frustrated & bored him because he had wanted serious movies to star in, not the frilly girly movies he was put in, he said he would never sing another song he did not believe in or that didn’t have a message.

As others said Elvis never went to jail or prison. His mother died while he was voluntarily serving in the army from '58-'60. His twin brother died at birth or was stillborn though. Priscilla did take his daughter (not son) away from him in a sense when they divorced although they still spent time together when Elvis wasn't touring.

🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Respect 🙏 your will to learn and educate yourself about music Keep going 👍🏼 Love your channel reaction Keep the good work 👏 👍🏼👌🙏

The first time I heard this song, it was by Marty Robbins. Old country song!

Elvis was 33 in this video and I think he was the first King of Bling also..

His mom didn't die at his birth, but she died at 42 years, and that's the same age Elvis died.

Try react to his version of What Now My Love(Hawaii 73)Heartbreaking..

No, Elvis did not go to prison. He served two years in the army and got out as an E4

The song isn't about him. He didn't write it. He's Interpreting it. Although his wife did leave him and take his precious daughter Lisa away, but he did get visitation. Many top artists of that time didn't write their own songs. They were like Actors, presenting dramatic songs that they could relate to.

His mother lived to be about 42 years

Great video and reaction👍.... On the song he is being on the prison??? Meaning he has been living in rejection from the father blamed for the mothers death??? Not actual prison....👍

This song was a good song that he liked. But his mother did die when Elvis was in the army. 1958. But Elvis was never in Prison. Yeah it is some song though, He did get divorced in 1973. That ring he would give away in a blink of an eye. And did. Probably cost thousands, and that was 1973.

Go TCB

I advise you to do research instead of taking what people in the comments say. They're clueless at times and spread false information. Elvis never went to prison, ever! They threatened to arrest him for his moves onstage in the 50s but he was too powerful and they feared riots from the youth. This song is a cover of a country song by Marty Robins. Elvis felt the lyrics and message and included it into his live show. Elvis lost his mother while he was in tge military and his wife Pri$cilla took his only daughter) Lisa from him. So he could relate to the words.

Elvis mom died just after he joined the army

Elvis’s father went to jail for changing a $4 check to a $14 check. Elvis and his mom lived in the projects in Memphis during this time. Elvis bought lots and lots of jewelry and gave a lot of it away. He gave away almost 200 Cadillacs too. Watch Elvis, King Of Kindness. I think he sang this song after Priscilla divorced him and took their little girl, Lisa Marie, with her.

No, he didn't o to prison. The prison he's singing about is the family dynamics of the song

It is just a song he sang ...... No Brag Just fact ......

Dude, this song is not about him. This song was sung by Marty Robins, and Elvis sings it, which sounds like his own situations

Elvis was never the same after Priscilla took his baby boy.

Elvis didn't write this song, it was not about his life

His mom died in her 40s.

It's just a song he was singing a song someone else wrote.. this was not his life.. he just made it sound like it was his life.. he was that good. OMG.. i just heard you say that Elvis went to prison for dodging the draft... Sorry that never happened.. Elvis was drafted and he served his time between (I think)1959 and 1961.. truly not sure about those dates but I am sure Elvis was not a draft dodger... He served, like my Daddy did.. not war time.. but they served.

Not his story but a good reaction

I hope you don't pause and talk while he sings so we can hear him and enjoy listening to him. You may comment later. We lose appetite for listening

No song not his life but just a song they divorced amicably had a little girl

No mother did not die giving birth react to black community Elvis and how against racism he was

Not true about prison maybe his dad

This is a marty robbins song

If you want deep lyrics try Elvis " What Now My Love"..he sings about suicidal thoughts and one of the lines in the song says nobody cares if he lives or dies 😢😢
