The jordinairs were outstanding. A time when music was soulful, had meaning and most of all you could actually understand it! Thankyou for posting it. I'm off looking for more of the same. I met Freddie briefly just a few months before we lost him. His final month's were tragic 😢. Such talent hounded and chased down for nothing. All the best from our sude🇬🇧👍🏻
Freddie was one of the most talented people in the 70s and 80s and was treated like absolute crap by the British media in the 90s, which led to him falling into depression
@EscapeTheMatrix...... Accusations were made against him that were proven to be a barrel of lies but as you say, it was wokery that eventually led to the end of his career. Awful. Thankfully, he was brought home to be buried with his parents on Merseyside.
He was a legend is a legend but died al alone it is such a shame how much laughter and fun he brought to my childhood and many fellow British people I don't mind admitting I shed a tear watching this video my late father actually met him at jolles in longton stoke on trent which was massive in the 70s /80s just like Freddie an icon so sadly missed rip Freddie you will live on forever every Xmas we would watch him make all the family laugh n cry
😚Freddie not only had a terrific singing voice...he "had me in stitches" with his [so] versatile comedy routines...he is missed, VERY much!! He was a "one-off" RIP
I loved Freddie. The only comedian who could make me laugh. Those twinkly eyes full of mischief. It was dangerous to have him as a guest on a show because you never knew what he would do. Poor Des O'Connor suffered so much, but oh, it was SO funny. RIP Freddie. I miss you.
WOW! I had forgotten how good Freddie Starr was and how talented! How good was that? i was only 10 years old when Elvis passed away....Jolly Good that!!!!😄
I was lucky enough to see Freddie a few times back in the seventies and he would have you laughing from the start to the finish and you would come out of the show with face ache
I was fortunate enough to see Freddie in concert a couple of times and I can report that the guy was a genius, a true one off.... As I am writing this Elvis has just started playing on the radio....
Freddie was a big Elvis fan and the best Elvis impersonator. Freddie was so multi talented and greatly missed. You should see his comedy impersonations 😂.
Freddie was so talented and could impersonate many people but I think Elvis is the only one he didn’t turn into comedy. The Jordanaires were amazing and I would love to have a deep voice like the guy on the end. Great reaction again.
The Joidanners said he was the greatest Elvis impersonation ever. That's telling you something. I saw him do it it. I was 11 years old in 1982. I'll never forget it.
Freddie was an amazing talent, but was also an unpredictable loose cannon ?? You never knew what he was going to do next - especially on live shows ! RIP Freddie !
This brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it. Freddie Starr and the Jordanaires are great. I was brought up on Elvis...he was the King and always will be. Loved watching your face Jess, it said so much. RIP Elvis ♥
This was a segment in a show called "An Audience With" where performers were invited to perform in front of an audience of celebrities. Freddie was well known for his outrageous sense of humour and practical jokes. When he left the stage to interact with the audience you could see people in the audience getting nervous and agitated hoping he'd pick on soneone else😅. A multi talented man.
I remember watching this live on Television, we always said that this was the very best Elvis act we had ever seen and we were Elvis Presley fans, the Jardinieres were great and Freddie Star was an all round entertainment system.
Always great to see the both of you. The Jordanaires provided the backing vocals for Elvis up until 1970 (from 1956) - 1970 was considered the last great year of his career, so the Jordanaires were a mainstay during his success
Thank you for reacting to this superb performance. I saw Freddie perform live in the 80s, and he had the whole audience crying with laughter for the whole show..including me :) Another guy who does good impressions that I like is Stevie Riks. He does very good Elvis tributes. My favourites from him are, The Impossible Dream and If I can Dream
Freddies impressions were mostly for comedy value but he was a massive Elvis fan and took singing his songs very seriously. His mimicking of Elvis voice was effortless
This is one of the better reaction channels out there. Either because of Jess's infectious laughing during the comedy segments, or in this case, because of how genuinely moved she seemed to be by Starr's voice.
Freddie star was unique,he could do it all ,from comedy,acting,through to his singing voice,impersonating Elvis was his best beautiful voice.unfortunately he suffered bad with depression.watched him live on number of occasions he was the best,his comedy was fantastic.him and jethro both had beautiful voices jethro was a story teller,they were fantastic if u have a weak heart,don’t.both were a great loss R.I.P Freddie star,jethro🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
As a local lad from my home town of liverpool I was privileged to see Freddie at the Wooky Hollow cabaret club. He was an amazing live performer. His original zany routines would literally leave you with pains from laughing . And he did it all while overcoming a speech impediment. Truly unique . His like do not come along that often. His singing voice and his appearances on the Des O'Connor show bring back fond memories. There is no substitute for natural talent.
Folk's great reaction. Please react to Freddie doing his impression of Ray Charles the jazz singer. This show is live and even funnier than his Vincent routen..Best wishes from the Giants Causeway here in Northern Ireland ❤️❤️❤️👍
Elvis made many movies, most really beaten up by the critics but as a boy growing up in the 50s and 60s I couldn't wait for each new one to be released. My favourite back then was Kissing Cousins, where he played identical twins. Freddie was always so respectful with his Elvis impersonations. Great reaction. Thanks
Hi Guys greetings from England 🇬🇧 you really should check out Freddie Starr appearances on The Des O' Connor Show and this was a popular English TV Chat Show and poor Des O'Connor was quite literally terrified when Freddie was on his show as he never knew what Freddie was going to do and its so worth while checking out Freddie on the Des O' Connor Show.
As an 11year old kid on holiday in Cornwall England the news came over the radio of elvis death hit me hard I remember tearing up on the back seat of the car.it was painfull & joyfull listening to his songs that particular day.
guys you should watch this one with freddie doing elvis, he has the elvis suit on, the hair, he does the elvis triology, which elvis did in hawaii, Freddie Starr - Elvis Presley Tribute
Freddie star was Britains greatest all round enterner... There was nothing he couldn't do.. brilliant comedian and boy what an incredible voice he had.. the Jordanaires said at that moment in time Freddie was the closest to Elvis voice wise they had ever heard... Treated badly by the British press which he then retreated to Spain to escape all the garbage that was banded about.. then sadly he passed away a couple of years ago... R.I.P BRITAINS GREATEST ENTERTAINER....
im 59 years old, elvis was the the top, bought all his lp's and stuff even after his death, i remember his death, im from the UK, and i was on holiday with my grandaparents, in the UK the summer break from school was 6 weeks, both my parents worked, so we went to our grandparents for the summer, 3 weeks at one grandparents and 3 weeks at another, i remember, sitting, my grandmother cutting my hair and it came on the news that elvis had passed, after that, we played his records, stop start copy the lyrics so i could sing along, the tape recorder was better than the record player, what i find different now, is elvis came from the US, the fonze, skate boards, even top gun, so many american things filtered there way to the UK then europe, with the fonze, top gun, the fashion, we all buy leather jackets beatle crushers whit T shirts, then top gun, flight jackets and i iconic mirror sun glasses, but over the last 10 to 20 years, america has lost that greatness what we thought, to the point we dont care, what you have what your doing, all we hear now, is corruption, guns, school shootings, hi medical, poverty, they may now be because of more social media, guys you fallen behind in the US, come after me in the comments if you want
I'm ray from Portsmouth UK, originally from London. I watch you views on freddy Starr. And it's a good feeling seeing someone else admire the raw talent. My father who was a music purist, would say stuff like , why is he taking the piss, why doesn't he just sing it properly. My father had his own opinion, but given that he used to drink and play darts with Tom Jones, who knows. It put me off performing music. My father was actually right, the few times freddy sang serious. I'm waffling.. the thing that most brits don't even know, freddy started his career as a singer. At the same time as the Beatles and all the other famous bands evolved. Freddie's band was called Freddie starr and the midnighters. It was on you tube.. His comedy was an accident of queue blocking at an early stage of his singing. Just letting you guys know.. just a little backstory. And there is a lot more singer impressions that Freddie has done. But for your guys personal journey. Maybe have a look, Freddie Starr and the midnighters. Xx love your reviews on loads of your reviews
Been searching for a video of Freddie's full Elvis tribute from back in the 70,s....finally found it!! Not the greatest quality and quite long but if you want to skip to the last song you'll be blown away! Search for Freddie Starr The Legend tribute to Elvis
Hi, Jess and Mike...ANOTHER Brit worth checking out performing as 'ELVIS' if you haven't seen him, is Ben Portsmouth. This man is uncanny, believe me! Looking forward to more from you both...
Good morning I thought I’d send you this. I didn’t really know where to put it but I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. It’s your mate Fred star doing one of our greatest rock ‘n’ roll stars Mick Jagger from the Rolling Stones. This guy is amazing. I understand why you love him so much yet again, thank you thank you, kind regards, Christopher
Freddie did another song with the Jordinaires on that show (To Much Monkey Buseness) not sure if it's on RU-vid, I have the special on my hard drive. I also did a a tribute myself on my channel to Freddie, he was a great entertainer, very funny and a great singer, made a few albums as well. R.I.P. Freddie, .. Your reactions were great by the way, thanks for sharing.
Several years ago,my friend Johnny Earl toured Europe with the Jordanaires backing him. They said of him that, although he sang Elvis songs, he never tried to impersonate him.
I SAW FREDDIE do a one off elvis tribute show no comedy just straight amazing i would say he must have channelled the soul of elvis , next is elvis secret visit to london in 1957 with rock n roll cockney singer and actor tommy steele
I got to meet The Jordanaires and get their autographs in the early 90s when they came to New Zealand to back Elvis tribute artist Mike Albert who in their opinion was very much like the real thing. To say I was BUZZING would be an understatement!
Saw him live many times back in the early 70's when I was a kid. His comedy show used to end and then the auditorium lights would go down and (I think it was this)...Strauss's Sprach Zarathustra would play and then "Elvis" would appear before our very eyes (70's style Elvis in white rhinestone encrusted jump suit)!! Freddie would perform lots of Elvis songs to end a fantastic evening of entertainment.
Hi Mike & Jess, great reaction and yes Freddie does a brilliant (for you Jess) Elvis impersonation. If you're back doing a few music reactions then another fantastic one is Glennis Grace who covers a music great, namely Whitney Houston with 'Run To You' from Ladies of Soul 2017. She is truly amazing, it is like it is Whitney reincarnated.
Long before his comedy career, Freddie fronted a couple of bands in Liverpool back in the Merseybeat days of the early 60s. Freddie Starr and The Midnighters, also Freddie Starr and The Delmonts.
