FIRST TIME HEARING Elvis Presley- JailHouse Rock | REACTION 

You see, before Elvis, nobody moved. They just stood and sang. Elvis had so much rhythm he couldn't stand still. THANK YOU!

John Lennon said; before Elvis there was nothing So every Rocksinger was influenced by him

“Before Elvis, there was nothing.” John Lennon

No one can teach you how to dance like that. You already have it or you don't.

Elvis was born in Mississippi and moved to Memphis Tennessee, when he was around 12,and lived in the housing.

That little wiggle my friend changed the world of music forever……enjoy!

Watch “Trying to get to you” from Elvis’s 68 Comeback Special……Shows Elvis raw & powerful!

Elvis was a groundbreaking performer. Tv stations wouldn’t show him from the waist down because they considered his moves pornography and thought it would make everyone jump into bed and lots of unplanned babies would incur.

No one like Elvis, he's one of kind. I love him forever ❤️❤️❤️

Moving/dancing like the king was outlawed in certain cities back then. This was considered phonographic gyrations back then.

WE❤U ELVIS. ALWAYS & FOREVER.

I love elvis❤.

Elvis influenced generations- but the movie “Grease” was just a nostalgic movie about the 1950s (when Elvis started). He died in 1977 from a heart attack. You should react to one of his later songs - try Elvis 1970 Live in Las Vegas: “Suspicious Minds”.

Elvis wasn't one of the goats. He is the GOAT. He has sold over one billion+ records. He had over 800 recordings and he is still going strong today which is nearly 47 years after his death. No matter what you play of Elvis' it's going to be good.

From an old Elvis fan, it's exciting to see a young person discover him for the first time. He recorded over 700 songs in all different genres and often fused several genres together. He grew up very poor and never had any formal musical training. Everything he did was by ear. A couple suggestions: Elvis Presley - Trouble/Guitar Man (Opening) ('68 Comeback Special) (3:18) Elvis Presley - What Now My Love - Rehearsal Concert in Hawaii January 12, 1973 (3:10)

You to react to If I Can Dream from his 68 special with the white suit it's a very powerful song. He did that for MARTIN LUTHER KING because he was. killed and the World was in so much turmoil. The words to this song still holds true today. GOD BLESS EVERYONE🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶❤️🎵🎵🎤🎤🎤💙💙💙

Elvis was the king

Three of my favorites that really showcase Elvis’ great vocals are WHAT NOW MY LOVE, IT’S NOW OR NEVER, MY WAY

Elvis influenced everybody.

First ever music video, bruh...he does the toe stand and side moonwalk right here 🤘🏽💯⚡❤️

He was a great man, as well as a great entertainer. I recently came across a mini documentary called Elvis and the Black Community. To me it revealed his integrity & his willingness not to compromise his principles. No matter what it would cost him.

Elvis choreographed this video.

Thank you young man for your reaction.Elvis, is The G.O.A.T. ☝👍👊🔥🕺🎸🎤🥁🎼⭐🇵🇷🇺🇲❤🙏

The thing with Elvis is he danced different to every performance. All through his Career.

Elvis Presley was the one who started the "Shaking of the hips." He was ahead of his time. My mom always loved Elvis. One of a kind by then.

If you go down the Elvis rabbit hole, you will never come out. His catalog is amazing he only gets bigger with time.

Please react to more Elvis, his songs are Golden

No one better than this guy. You've reached the pinnacle. You might as well stay right here. You will never see a better artist.

Elvis is the king of music

I love how the guards are dancing holding Billie clubs

"Grease" came out in 1978 and was set in the late 1950s, hence the Elvis influence. The mid 1950s was when the rock 'n' roll era started.

Yes John Travolta's character in Grease was modeled after Elvis. Greased Lightning was his version of Jailhouse Rock.

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❤️😉

Never dislocated his pelvis. Miraculous.

Elvis influenced everyone who came after him, either directly or indirectly.

Elvis choreographed this scene. He was born in Tupelo Mississippi and moved to Memphis Tn when he was about 11. Stuck on You from Frank Sinatra welcomes Elvis home(from the Army). Suspicious Minds and Bridge Over Troubled Water from Las Vegas, any performances from the Ed Sullivan Show

Elvis lived in Memphis Tn but was born in Mississippi. He had a close relationship with blues and gospel music. He is and will always be the "King of rock and roll" . keep diving in you wont be sorry.

Subscribed for Elvis please keep going down the Elvis rabbit hole you will never be disappointed you will always be amazed.

I'm sorry young bro, Elvis is not one of the goats, Elvis is THE GOAT 👍

Elvis always the best, beautiful generous soul

The young king of rock.

Elvis the Pelvis..was Elvis! ❤

Try some of his Gospel songs. Elvis could sing every genre of music: Gospel, Rock'n'Roll, Rock, Rock-a-Billy, Blues, Country. But his Gospel songs are outstanding. "How Great Thou Art", "Peace in the valley", "Stand by me", "Take my hand, precious Lord",... The Gospel production number from the "'68 Comeback Special" is great.

This is probably his best dance routine from his movies

Video is 67 yrs old and still going good

Watch Elvis and the Black Community, then listen and watch every video you can of this dude from his early tv shows, his movies, the 68' Comeback Special and his Vegas shows.

He's been my fave since i was a kid growing up in the 70s. I would be scared at night while in bed hearing all sorts of noises, so to fall asleep I'd sing my fave Elvis songs to keep my mind preoccupied till i passed out. Ty Elvis. Rip

Who said the younger generation dances funny? Ive never heard anyone say that. He was the first to move at all on stage so every performer you see today can thank him for that.

I just found your channel and subscribed i saw you reacting to elvis love seeing your generation going down the elvis rabbit His gospel music is my favorite how great tho art, Check out american triology If i can dream In the ghetto Suspicious minds from the live las vegas version you wont be disappointed

The TV stations wouldn't even show him from his waist down because they thought it was "dirty" the way he danced!

Elvis and his still born twin brother Jesse were born to Vern and Gladys Presley, in a one room house in Tupelo Mississppi. Jesse was born first and as the doctor was leaving, Gladys yelled for the doctor to come back when she felt another baby coming. That baby was Elvis. When he started making music he bought a house at 1034 Audubon Drive was Elvis Presley's first purchased house in Memphis, Tennessee, bought in 1956 for his parents with the royalties of “Heartbreak Hotel.” The King only lived there for thirteen months, but from May, 1956 to May, 1957 he became Elvis, at least the early Elvis as the world knows him. Once he became famous and making even more money, that is when he bought Graceland in Memphis TN.

G.O.A.T. G.O.A.T. G.O.A.T. PERIOD...

Elvis was born in Tupelo Mississippi then moved to Memphis Tennessee

Elvis was born 8 January 1935 in east Tupelo, Mississippi, raised there a while, then moved with his parents to Memphis, Tennessee. He owned and lived at Graceland in Memphis and died there on 16 August 1977 at age 42. I lived in Tupelo for a lot of years and lived in Memphis up the street from Graceland for a short time. Been to his birthplace a lot as well as Graceland.

You talk about his dancing when he was on the ed Sullivan show in the middle 50s on TV they wouldn't show him from the waist down

This clip from Elvis movie Jail house rock. The dance moves were his but the whole scene was choreographed around him. He was the first, the original. Thank you for your reaction and do more Elvis. As a long time Elvis fan I love watching how the younger generations react to seeing him for the first time. To understand what an icon Elvis is you have to start at the beginning when he appeared in 1956 on TV. Before he went into the Army in 1958 he was already a super star. Check out documentaries, movies, 1968 Come back special, Aloha from Hawaii, 1970 Los Vegas. You will be amazed by huge legacy Elvis left us.

You got it right. "Grease" was inspired from the 1950's decade as well as the way Elvis dressed with his hairstyle. On top of this, the entire video seen here influence the movie scene in "Grease" song "Grease Lightning".

Elvis is the Goat he definitely was unique one of a kind thank you loved your reaction

Born in Tupelo Mississippi- check out his 68 come back soecial

He had a twin brother who died when they were born.

Grease was in the 1980s Elvis was in the 60s and 70s he passed away in August 16, 1977 all his songs are great

I'm a Memphis gurl and of course an Elvis fan. This film was made looong before MTV. ENJOY!!! 😎

Elvis is from tuepolo Mississippi

"Grease" was based on the music and times of the mid 50s to the early 60s. Elvis emerged in 1954 and many teenage boys were influenced by him.

“Elvis the pelvis” 😂😂😂

One of the GOATS? No. For the whole field of rock, Elvis IS the GOAT...the rest are "one of the almosts"

The dance move was choreographed for the movie, Jail House Rock

When Elvis was on Tv as a guest, the censors said he could only be shown from the waist up because his dancing was considered inappropriate.

💋❤️🌹LAY IT ON ME DADDYO!🌹❤️💋

This is a part of the movie "Jailhouse Rock", where the inmates were able to put on a concert in the prison.

❤👑👑👑👑👑❤️

Also, Elvis caught a lot of heat from the establishment; they were so afraid of his moving his hips, etc and the effect it would have on the girls

I SUBSCRIBED CAUSE I SEEN ELVIS I REALLY THINK U SHOULD REACT TO HIS SONG IF I CAN DREAM A TRIBUTE TO MARTIN LUTHER KING IT REALLY EFFECTED ELVIS WHEN HE GOT KILLED AND ALSO ELVIS AND THE BLACK COMMUNITY PART 1 AND 2 THANKS FOR REACTING TO ELVIS HE'S THE BEST FOREVER!

Really fantastic reaction. Usually I wait for a few reactions before I subscribe but you earned my sub first time out. Always try to select the live version of Elvis. If you can’t find live versions, try to get a movie version. I would shoot up to 1968 the song “if I can dream. “ Elvis was a huge proponent of the civil rights movement. This was during the race riots of the 1960s. Look for a live version of this song, with Elvis Presley performing in a white suit .

Elvis rocked for sure and I'm so happy I was there at the beginning. Did you notice the instruments in the video are cardboard? Thanks for the reaction. ⚡🎶

Elvis choreographed this at like 22 yrs old

What's he doing? The first dance moves with RnR ..on TV ever ❤🎉🎉🎉

“If I Can Dream” from 1968 comeback special 50 year anniversary HD remastered (white suite). It is tribute to MLK and Bobby Kennedy who were assassinated in 1968, MLK in April and Kennedy in June. Eveything song in the 1968 Comeback special was great. Elvis at his finest. I subscribed to your channel hoping you will go down the Elvis rabbit hole. Enjoyed this reaction very much

Return to Sender is a good one. Suspicious Minds also

Elvis learned those moves from Forest Gump.

Elvis was entirely adopted as one of their own by the black community

In the 70s the 50s music and lifestyle got a big revival in USA. You see it in the cars, music , and the movies.movies like "The wanderer", "The lors of flatbush" , "Greese" etc.

Early version of the stanky leg 😂

He was born in Tupelo Mississippi on August 16, 1935. His mother gave birth to twins. However, his twin brother was stillborn. At the age of 7, he and his parents moved to Memphis Tennessee. This video is from his movie Jailhouse Rock.

There is a video called " Ii got a feeling in my body " comparing Elvis' dance moves to Michael Jackson's-- keep in mind Elvis was 28 years older than. Michael

It's funny because I had my first girlfriend when I was in the summer after my 9th grade and she was a year older and in the next grade up but we had a lot of good times and yeah. Grease with Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta, and that definitely was the mid-to-late 70s so at this point easily a decade and a half after Elvis doing his bit in one of his first movies. But this is totally movie type choreography. And it is true that Elvis couldn't stand it and did his own thing in terms of choreography compared to everyone else, but this doesn't give you even the remotest idea of how intense he was just even a few years earlier at the age of 20 and 21. He was doing athletic stuff that still defies the imagination. Original Moonwalks and all kinds of stuff.

Tupelo, Mississippi

Without Èlvis's musical contributions and dance moves, you wouldn't have the dances out there today. He changed the musical world for teenagers!! Would like to recommend you watch and review Mean Woman Blues from the Loving You movie and Trouble from King Creole. Two different styles from Elvis... of course there are many to choose from besides these two... If I Can Dream, Suspicious Minds, Bridge Over Troubled Water, In the Ghetto, Polk Salad Annie... just to name a few. Elvis is worth listening to... he was a Legendary performer and his name will live on forever!!

You have to remember that America was so conservative back then that, when he first appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show (THE #1 variety show of the era), they refused to allow the cameras to show him from the waist down because his gyrations were considered too suggestive.

my grandma called em Pelvis Elvis lol

Hound Dog by Elvis and Burning Love amazing songs

like you to see. I got a feeling in my body. It is a video of M Jackson & Elvis.

I highly Recommend reacting to Elvis Presley American Trilogy, 1972 in Greensboro. it is one of his best songs, and it will boost up your viewer rate

This clip is from the 1957 movie Jailhouse Rock. This scene is in the beginning of the movie. Not the very beginning but in the first half hour. Some of the characters named in the song are real people. Shifty Henry was a well-known Los Angeles musician, not a criminal. The Purple Gang was a real mob. "Sad Sack" was a U.S. Army nickname in World War II for a loser, which was also the name of a popular comic strip and comic book character.

You just watched the very first music video ..... And possibly the very first hand slide hand shake too { 2;13 through 2:16 on the time maker }...... Elvis recorded exactly 769 Songs ...... Did 31 Movies ..... Did 2 Documentaries ...... And exactly 938 live concerts ..... One of those concerts had 11/2 Billion {with a b} watch him live ..... I was one of them } ...... Through satellite Called ...... {Aloha From Hawaii} ..... That actually had the show itself and the night before the rehearsal show ..... {{ In-case the show did not go off right }} ..... Satellite recorded in Hawaii in 1973 ..... Elvis influenced the whole world ..... ABSOLUTELY ..... There was no Industry of music before Elvis .... And he is not one of the G.O.A.T 'S ....... He is the only G.O.A.T. ..... As that means ..... {The Greatest Of All Time } ..... No-One had it all but Elvis ..... No-One comes close ...... You can fight it ..... Cuss it ..... Argue it .... Reject it ..... Hell .... You can claim someone his better or equal if you want ...... But every time the dust settles ...... Elvis is still King ...... No brag ..... Just Fact ......

When he performed on TV they would not show his hips or legs. He was considered obscene by the "Bertha better than you" crowd. (Bertha is from Ray Stevens - Mississippi Squirrel Revival.)

Before Michael Jackson there was Elvis

Like your style and great insights. Elvis has sold over 1 Billion recordings. And still selling.Guinness lists him the Most Successful Solo Recording Artist ever. His Worldwide Satellite Concert in 1973 was seen in 40 nations 2 Billion viewers. Try 1970 Suspicious Minds, Bridge Over Troubled Waters, American Trilogy (1973) and 1970 Love Me Tender live. Subscribed and liked you Nat. God Bless kiddo. Oh, In the Ghetto (Elvis was FROM the ghetto BTW) 1970 and Can’t Help Falling in Love 68 comeback special. It had been 9 years since he performed before a live audience.

Grease came out on 1978

This video your watching highly influenced Michael Jackson.
