A magnificent song written by Mac Davis, sung to perfection. A triple banger for sure, so sad but also so beautiful. Mac wrote several songs for Elvis, he also sang and performed himself. Some examples of songs Mac also wrote, In The Ghetto, A Little Less Conversation, Memories. I noticed some light orbs flying around at 39sec, 59sec and 5,39min what was that?
Mac Davis didn't write "Rubberneckin' ", but he did co-write one of Seph's favorites "Memories". Those orbs were eerie. There's probably a logical explanation, but maybe the Elvis was paying Seph a visit.
Rob you made me look back over my footage!!! Yes there is definitely orbs in this video! I actually cannot explain why they are there. Nothing has changed from the way my camera is setup or the room im in. out of the hundreds of videos i have done, i have never seen anything like this before!
This song... is so touching to me with my daddy. I did my stupid stuff in my 20's and early 30's.. I'm now 50.. and we are so close now... again.. Always been a daddy girl. What I have been thru and what I am going thru.. he get's it.. and with him being older~
Great song. You need to listen to Lisa Marie's duet with this. Beautiful. P.S. There is NO pleural for Elvis - couldn't be. No other singer can pull your heartstrings like this - emotion is his genius.
He is singing harmony with himself. This is 2 kids and mommy is gone. There is a duet with his daughter on this song. It is beautiful. She sings with him when she was a adult. Thanks Seph.
You've made it to what is arguably Elvis' best album! 🎉 Can't wait to see your reactions to the rest! Oh, and the correct term for double Elvis is Elvii 😜
"Don't Cry Daddy" is an emotional thunderbolt! Elvis's discography is replete with thunderbolt performances among the mundane and it has been said that most performers were as good as they could be to rise from the mire but Presley was as good as he needed to be with plenty left in the tank when it counted. Elvis's form for "thunderbolt comebacks" throughout his career dictates he could have continued to deliver had he lived to present day, even after his death his output outstrips many of the top artists of today. phenomena /-ənə/ /fɪˈnɑːmənə/ : something (such as an interesting fact or event) that can be observed and studied and that typically is unusual or difficult to understand or explain fully.
Tommy is the Sibling of the Child Saying "Don't Cry Daddy". "You've still got Me and Little Tommy, Together Well find a brand new Mommy, OH Daddy Please Don't Cry"
Yes, there's an, and in there. There is also another reference to siblings, Daddy Ride Us on your back again. It's a beautiful song. I Called my Dad, Daddy all his life, no matter how old I got. ❤ Maybe it's an American thing, cause I knew quite a few (especially) female friends who called their Dad's Daddy as well. Even Elvis referred to his Dad as Daddy.
this song holds a special place in my heart, I was hearing in the very moment I learned about Lisa Marie's passing😕You can tell Elvis sung this from the heart
Beautiful! His voice and he's so passionate. I always cry, especially the duet with Lisa Marie. Then, I try to think of the rehearsal of this one and how he changes the words and has everyone laughing. Miss him ❤
Such a beautiful sad song, sung as always with raw emotion & talent. Please don't be offended when I say that the song brought in someone gentle from the other side by way of an orb, seen more than once, certainly nothing to be feared! ☮️
Beautiful song sung and expressed very tenderly by the King as only he could. Written by the late great Mac Davis, who also wrote a few string of hits for Elvis during the late '60's, "Don't Cry Daddy", "A Little Less Conversation", "Memories" and "In the Ghetto". Incredible songs.
Another fine example of Elvis interpreting emotional lyrics! This is such a beautifully written song by Mac Davis & Elvis turns every word into a tender, touching moment, adding to the poignancy. I think the melody really escalates the emotion too. Perfect Seph👍❤
Seph Elvis called his Dad "Daddy" His whole life its a "Southern Thing" I called My Dad Daddy My whole life - We Say Momma not Just Mom - My Daddy would say Daddy When He spoke of My Grandfather - Anyway - ALWAYS SUPPORTING YOU MY SWEET SEPH - I HOPE SOMEDAY YOU WILL DO LISA MARIE'S DUET WITH HER DAD SINGING THIS EMOTIONAL TOUCHING BEAUTIFUL SONG!!!! SHE DID IT LIVE - IN MEMPHIS IN 1997 - HER FIRST NOBODY KNEW SHE SANG!! STUNNING!!!! THANKS *SEPH* I ADORE YOU X HUGS TONYA
This track was written by Mac Davis, who also wrote “In The Ghetto”. Elvis recorded his vocals for both songs, including his vocal harmonies, one day apart at American Sound studios in Memphis in 1969. Don’t Cry Daddy, while not making it all the way to the top of the charts (#6), sold nearly as many units as Suspicious Minds.
Agree so beautiful- and sad. Wait until you hear Lisa Marie sing a duet of this with her dad. Oh and Elvis called his father Daddy his whole life. I think it’s common in the South.
This is rather interesting! Here in the UK it's would be extremely weird to here someone call the father Daddy at an older age haha cultural differences 😂
This went to number 6 on billboard top 100. In the Ghetto from the same session hit number 2 , kentucky rain number 16 and Suspisious minds number 1. These 69 sessions also produced the two GREAT albums, from Elvis in Memphis and Back in Memphis !!!
You're in for a treat listening to this album i still play it often Elvis can take you on a journey of all human emotions with his beautiful voice was expecting you tearing up with this one its so emotional great reaction
Great Song Recorded At American Sound y In Memphis 1969, On The Album FROM ELVIS IN MEMPHIS. There’s Also A Version of This Song Where His Daughter Do A Duet Of This Song. They Sound Great Together Check It Out. Elvis Also Did Second Album ELVIS BACK IN MEMPHIS. Check Out YOU’LL THINK OF ME. His Voice More Raspy Elvis Had A Bad Cold During These Recordings. The Backup Singers The Musicians The. Memphis Boys. Producer Chips Moman Was A Genius.
wow Seph a triple banger - it is such a gorgeous song and sung beautifully by Elvis - he really knows how to tell a story even if it is sad - there is a version on RU-vid where Elvis and Lisa are singing together.
@@SephPlays Here are Elvis's Postumas Duets with Lisa Marie, save them, so when your ready to do them, you have the links to the best audio, video version of each song. Don't Cry Daddy & In The Ghetto are Preformed by Elvis Live in Vegas in 1970, so after you see them there will be no Spoilers to prevent you from watching these Duets with Lisa. Where No One Stands Alone you already heard on the 1967 gospel album and that's the recording Lisa does her Duet with. So no Spoilers left anytime you decide to do that song. Elvis only sang this song one other time Live the year he passed and it's Audio only with no connection to the Duet version.

Lisa Marie (Elvis daughter) does a duet with him on a later version, that one hurts even more, because she was there when Elvis and Priscilla got a divorce and she was only 9 years when Elvis died...
Another written by Mac Davis which Elvis made a big hit. Mac Davis became a household name, and had his own TV show in prime time - which had a segment devoted to how he went about writing songs. (I’ve never forgotten his songwriting joke about ‘sideburns’ in that segment. He was a very good comedic actor, and started in movies. Women LOVED Mac Davis!
This one is a heartbreaker! Losing my son I had my little girl who was just a year old and she helped me get up and keep living she was my sunshine in the storm. I can't imagine losing my husband or my daughter's so its hard to listen to this song its very depressing, but as mentioned he does a funny rehersal with it so that's fun!
This is another track from the legendary Memphis sessions you've been impressed with so far. This was a single release (written again by Mac Davis) that went gold. The voice is not Tommy because the verse goes "me and little Tommy", so it's his sister or brother. Great reaction!!
It's certainly sung with the perspective of a grieving husband/father. His wife died. There was no breakup. Can you imagine a child telling his father that "We'll fin a brand new mommy" if the wife/mother was still living? Of course not. It's typical in many American families to address fathers as Daddy; especially so in the American South. Elvis at age 42 called his father Daddy. You can hear him say it in his last tv broadcast when introducing his father to the audience.
Ya this is quite interesting to me!! Here in the UK this would be considered very *weird* for an adult to call their father Daddy. Also i definitely agree its a death!
Awesome Awesome reaction Seph..AS ALWAYS. When I was a youngster in yhe 70's-80's, this song, Old Shep and Separate Ways used to always make me cry. Now it seems like they ALL DO. 😂😊 ACES MY FRIEND! 👊😉
Hey Seph 🙋 Power going in & out in my area currently. Will tune in later & give info on this one. Hope all is well with you & yours 💜🌹💛 Peace ✌, light 🌞, love 💖, & blessings to you & yours & to one & all here as well 💕
The vocal overdub you asked about, was from Ronnie Milsap - future country superstar/legend. Ronnie also sang for Elvis on "Kentucky Rain," which you will be reacting to soon! "Don't Cry Daddy" was lived experience for Elvis - he had comforted his father when Elvis' beloved mother died, leaving them both distraught beyond words. The supreme sincerity in this song is palpable.
Good question. I just did a quick search but nothing came up,. Maybe I've missed it and it was one of the reactions removed by RU-vid. In terms of Elvis' recording sequence, "Don't Cry Daddy' is from January 1969 and "Kentucky Rain" from February 1969, so Seph, by dates, is heading towards the latter.
Ronnie Milsap put out an album of Elvis songs, singing like Elvis. I'd forgotten all about it. He can sing very much like Elvis and was a very good Elvis imitator.
Don't Cry Daddy Today I stumbled from my bed With thunder crashing in my head My pillow still wet From last night's tears And as I think of giving up A voice inside my coffee cup Kept crying out Ringing in my ears Don't cry, daddy Daddy, please don't cry Daddy, you've still got me and little Tommy And together we'll find a brand new mommy Daddy, daddy, please laugh again Daddy, ride us on your back again Oh, daddy, please, don't cry Why are children always first To feel the pain and the hurt the worst? It's true but somehow It just don't seem right 'Cause every time I cry, I know It hurts my little children, so I wonder Will it be the same tonight? Don't cry, daddy Daddy, please don't cry Daddy, you've still got me and little Tommy And together we'll find a brand new mommy Daddy, daddy, please laugh again Daddy, ride us on your back again Oh, daddy, please, don't cry Oh, daddy, please don't cry
After watching your hey Jude reaction I've got to see you react to Elvis's version of something. I think at least with hey Jude it was closed. Both versions are really good. It was something I think Elvis's version is night and day better. Especially with the background singers.
Did you ever listen to "That Silver Haired Daddy of Mine" by Gene Autry? That and Old Shep by Elvis and a few others are so heart wrenching I want to cry just thinking about them. Then there's Honey by Bobby Goldsboro. Oh my, must stop now. Sniff.
@@jjbud3124 No. Never heard that one. The two others you mentioned are also songs I can't listen to though. Along with Cats in the Cradle. And also from Elvis, Mama Liked the Roses. 😭
@@tinalinge2782 I just listened to one of my new favorites, not sad, just wonderful - Raised on Rock. That'll get you happy and make you get up and dance. 😀☺ I can't stop listening to it. I hadn't heard it in years and forgot about it. It's like a whole new surprise.
Great reaction as usual Seph. But I have to comment on this. I am telling myself it must be camera glitch but I saw orbs and it surprised me as I have never seen orbs around you during other reactions. Like I said, could be a camera glitch, right? Or??????????????
Can't really disagree with your analysis Seph, however you lost me a bit with wondering what the correct plural of Elvis was noting the plural of fungus was fungi as he was sure a fun guy. 😊😊
- - - Thank goodness you played the original Studio Version, not the live version, nor the dreaded duet that Lisa Marie created via inserting her vocals into an Elvis track. Instead, you played the untampered brilliantly crafted track from this landmark album.
Lisa Marie had a unique voice too. I didn’t realize it till she did the duet in Honor of her daddy that passed away when she was only nine. It is sad that her singing career was very short.
