HE KILLED THIS!!...| FIRST TIME HEARING Elvis - Jailhouse Rock REACTION 

Lots of us remember where we were that day, when we heard.

I will never forget I graduated High School that year.

I was 8 years old, so I wasn't really phased by it. It wasn't until I was older that I really understood the significance. But what I do remember at the time it happened was that my older female cousin was inconsolable. That has stuck with me all this time.

Billy Gibbons will give him a run for his money on straight up coolness!!!!!

But did he really!?!?!?

Thanks for sharing!

Wow, what a memory

Wow, what a great memory!

I met Elvis too, he was a Japanese dude in Vegas....but seriously.

What a lucky fellow you are! My father was born month after Elvis passed away. I can only dream to met him, hopefully in the life after this.

Always liked her powerful singing ! Only recently found out it had nothing to do with whiskey :)

Yes I love that song. Black Velvet.

Wow, I listen to this song while cycling and thought, what a good idea for female friday! What I didn't know was that it was about Elvis - how interesting and thanks for the info!

Robin Lee had an excellent version of the song as well.

Good one!

The Legend landed dude, that was what the changed.

First Little Richard,then Elvis 👏✌️

My people had after hours joints like the Doo Drop Inn, that was in my folks time,we were doing Elvis before there was an Elvis, God bless him, at least he told the truth about his love for as the called it race music, Google who wrote Don't be Cruel and Elvis hits in the late 50 s and mid 60 s a black song writing team name Otis Armstrong and his partner, last name Scott

Yes. Great satanic brutal death metal song. His growls are very gutural.

54. July.

@@kemperboyd16 That's what I've always heard too but idk if it was recorded in 53 as stated. Released in 54

I remember seeing him on the Louisiana Hayride in 1954, when he first started out. He was allowed his moves. I was a young kid with teenage siblings. Thankfully, both of our parents loved Elvis, so his music was welcomed in our house, unlike many other families at the time. You said he changed the sound of R&R. True, and he definitely made it a visual experience.

Such an awesome tune.

There were a couple of demo's recorded in '53 but That's Alright is from the' 54 sessions after he was signed to the label.

I second kd!

You stole my thunder. Lol 😆

True story

Fun fact: in Germany, the young Elvis was called "Elvis, der Preßlufthammer" -> "Elvis, the jackhammer" or "Preßlufthammer-Elvis" -> "Jackhammer-Elvis", due to obvious dance moves.

YES! Please react to kd lang! "Crying" is a great song to start with.

Yes definitely. My favorite from that is "One Night With You". I saw him in person in 1970 and he was still so beautiful.

I loved the 68 come back. My favorite was " Trying to Get to You" He was so damn cool in that special..

@@aziniowa Agreed!

Black leather Elvis cannot be beat…. Swoon.

Baby what you want me to do. OMG ❤️

Really good suggestions. Agree 100%.

All Shook Up should be Jordan's theme song!

@@KittykatOz lol. Let's get them to listen to the song, then ask him what he thinks of your suggestion

That's a great story Amy. I've heard others say he was a very humble and kind person. When my mother was a teen or just out of high school, she said Elvis hung out with her group of friends. He wasn't a close friend, but one of the acquaintances that ran around with her friends. He spent some time in Texas, I think it was around 1955.

My Grandma met him when he was shooting Blue Hawaii. He was staying at the Coco Plams Resort on Kauai where my Grandma worked as a maid. She said he was so sweet and humble and would talk story with them and asking how they were doing. He treated everyone regardless of their station with so much kindness.

The same Rlvis later on went to. Richard, Tricky Dicky, Nixon to set up John Lennon be expelled from the country because he was jealous of the Beatles !Drug addict and not so nice s guy!

@@joelliebler5690 You are a liar.They were jealous of him.When they visited him at his Califirnia home, all they could do was stare at him with gaping mouths and popped out eyes. Have you ever looked at the Beatles..3 are ugly and the other has big ears.Elvis is known to be the most beautiful man to ever live.Elivis only took prescription drugs..all legal and for many illnesses.The Beatles took illegal drugs such as LSD..Paul McCartney is an admitted alcoholic.John Lenon and Yoko held orgy infront of news media. They were arrognant and classless.They respected nothing and no one.Elvis was all class, humble and took politeness to a different level.He was a Christian.They said they were more popular than Jesus.Elvis did not like being called king..very humble man.Elvis did not request the Beatles be expelled but for their dope smoking influence, they should have been. The Nixon visit..he wrangled a CI A badge from Nixon.He was so charismatic that even presidents could not say no to him.He was so popular and i fluential that Nixon saw Elvis within an hour of Elvis' request to see him.How many artists could do that? None.President Carter also was a huge fan and friend. The Beatles were the number one hero of the drop out generation, the flower children of the Sixties, the Hippies.John was so mangey looking..he never bathed and had horrible body odor. You know nothing about Elvis.Paul visited Graceland and was amaxed by all the gold records and awards Elvis had, sating they did not have close to that many. You would be good bait for Adolph Hitler who fed his public propaganda.You have accepted lies without knowing the real facts because you prefer to believe lies.I have a great deal on land in Sibera , selling dirt cheap.You are that kind of propaganda sucker, easy prey. If you were more intelligent and better read, you would know the truth. Being dumb is easier, less work. You are jealous of Elvis..no other reason for your lies..jealousy is a very ugly quality to have. And you are probably ugly to look at too.

@@joelliebler5690 That story is Easily debunked on the internet & I see someone above ( Thank You Margaret for defending Elvis!) already has. It was Senator Strom Thurmond that wrote a memo to the FBI, that because of his activist activities & a drug conviction, that John Lennon should be deported.

Yes!!!

Don't forget "Return to Sender" love this one 🤗🤗🤗

Can you say Forest Gump reaction video?!

Glad John Travolta turned down the role .... Bet he's not glad ...

Forrest Gump And Elvis should not be mentioned in the same breath, that movie is a cluster&uck and total misexploitation of history.

@My Signin I'm with you. It's a movie I love to hate. Awful for too many reasons. Except Tom Hanks is great as that imbecile who falls bassackwards into good fortune.

@@clevellbarney8917 You've been such a witch since that house fell on your sister ... Did you wake up on the wrong side of no one?

Elvis is not underated…he’s still the king

Actually in the last 5 years quite a few modern artists have referenced or sampled his hits. You'd be surprised .

His girlfriends were criminally underage

@@kenchristie9214 not only to the younger generation. I grew up in the 80s and nobody was talking about Elvis.

Not underrated.... borderline forgotten.... recency bias

🙏🏼🤍

So so true....

No truer word has been spoken.

Some of his best songs for gospel songs

@@janecarbone1504 He won more grammys for his gospel songs than rock songs. I found that remarkable.

He died in 1977

I was the same age and its the first news story I remember x

Same. I remember going to school and hearing it on the radio. It was a sad day.

I think my favorite Elvis song is "Burning Love"!

@@jtkool1503 Mine too! I love that song! I love all of his stuff tho! He's a Legend!

Blue Suede Shoes is a cover...i prefer the Carl Perkins version. Having said that, J&A could choose about 70 different songs and they would all be good options where Elvis is concerned.

Come on Elvis did only cover songs no original songs or music Elvis had to rent every single song he recorded there is not one Elvis song ever made but he served a purpose Richard Nixon and the FBI loved him

@@bige392 Elvis recorded many originals. You don’t have to be a singer-songwriter to record the original version of a song.

I love that movie!

Forrest taught him how to dance like that!

Elvis used to give away Cadilacs on a whim . Sounds crazy but he did it.

I do think Michael Jackson was pretty genius too

@@bjornsantens3929 He got his moves from Elvis.

Michael Jackson

@@michaelfoxx547 He just copied Elvis's moves.

As a piano player myself I completely agree with you. I play more than just piano though since everyone around me is used to hearing me on my guitar or mandolin(both acoustic) my friends get this stunned shocked look on their faces when I sit down at a piano since I don't currently own one.

and Jerry Lee Lewis singing 4 songs with Tom Jones its magic you will both be in heaven

Ooohhh!!! Please please please 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Either one would be a great reaction

Yes! Please!

I remember saying as the Beatles were on Ed Sullivan that they would never be as good as Elvis! And yet they did in their own way.

Elvis was far too different after he got out of the US Military and Paul McCartney even said that ..His music had trombone playing in it and other additions that were far from the original rockabilly sound .

Elvis does a great rendition of That's Alright Momma on the comeback special! As you say though every song is great on that special.🔥🔥🎸🎸

“Trying to get to you” was my favorite from the special.

Mine too Eddie. It was awesome..

Wow, reality twist! So very true, though I never thought of it that way.

The first music video.

If Sam Phillips was trying to find a white artist with a feel for black music, it’s really weird that he was having him record ballads and that Elvis himself started playing That’s All Right Mama” during a break. Much of the mythical history has been debunked, but it’s hard to overcome the folklore version.

@@JonBurrows3577 all I know is that was what Wikipedia said in so many words.

@@toodlescae You’re all good, anyone can edit Wiki and the actual chain of events gets corrupted with false memories of some of the critical players, and those who edit with the uncovered actual truth have to fight the edits clinging to folklore.

@@JonBurrows3577 it's been a long time since I watched any of the documentaries or read any of the biographical books and articles from back then so I don't remember specifics any more. I do stand by my statement that Elvis' perseverance through all the rejection and naysayers was the biggest reason he succeeded.

I saw it. It's excellent!

@Lady Liberty So?

I also recommend they react to this🙏🏼

@@baileybowman2449 def should react to this one “Elvis and the Black Community”

Yes... it's a must watch. He was a beautiful soul.

Little Sister!

I think you'll would like reacting to his performance of Don't Be Cruel on the Ed Sullivan Show on Jan 6 1957. There is also another time he played the same song on the show in 1956. You'll get to see how charismatic he can be with a live audience. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CpKyFTYvhpU.html

@@jco207 As I recall they started showing him only from the waist up on those variety shows because his movements were "too suggestive"!

He didn’t forget his humble roots, that’s why (unlike some other performers).

Fabulous song…written about Pricilla

I actually like Waylon Jennings and Jessie Culture version better. It makes more sense as a duet.

Love that song, though it's heartbreaking.

If you watch it , watch the version from Vegas 70.

That's my favorite Elvis song.

There is many of reasons to explain it, but as I always tell people, he's the king, and to this day it's a well defended crown

My fav! 👍

Elvis was a great rocker in his early career but he could be a great crooner also like in his 1960 #1 hit "It's Now or Never" that I think they should react to

She has such a phenomenal voice. One of my favorite songs from that decade👍

Alannah Myles had a number of good songs: Love Is ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vQOrMzBewG0.html , Lover Of Mine ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-COKOs4oeiTc.html , Who Loves You ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XtQkTH0oRCU.html , Song Instead Of A Kiss ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2BsaxKucapY.html .

I'll vote for that too!!!! Great song.

Throwing in my hellz ya for Black Velvet

Yessss! It references his first ever public appearance where he wore a black velvet shirt. He hadn't started dying his hair so it was his natural dirty blonde. The b/w footage is on YT.

He came up with all the dance moves, for that song. In the movie.

Elvis' death was one of the few where I knew exactly where I was and what I was doing at the time: 16 years old, playing pinball (a table called Aladdin's Castle by Bally, built in 1976); I was about 1,000 points from a free game credit, third and final ball, and the news came over the radio in the background at the arcade (one of the ceiling speakers was right above my head) -- my mind blanked out and the ball went down the middle bouncing off the flippers and out of play. Elvis was a bit of an overweight Vegas punchline during that time, but his death hit me hard having grown up with his earlier music.

The '68 TV special album is fantastic.

So good!!!!

Yes! I'd love to see that reaction.

Yeah, I read, one time, that they wanted Elvis for "A Star is Born" (starring opposite Barbra Streisand, instead of Chris Christofferson), but because Col. Parker wanted top billing for Elvis, and they wouldn't give it to him, the colonel wouldn't let him do it! Also, Colonel Parker demanded a certain percentage of publishing rights (or something like that) to every song Elvis sang. Elvis wanted, very badly, to sing Dolly Parton's song "I Will Always Love You", but she refused to give up the publishing rights (and rightly so, IMO), so Elvis didn't get to record it. It was rumored that Elvis never got to tour Europe because Colonel Parker wasn't a U.S. citizen (if he left, he couldn't get back in).... Colonel Parker has sounded, many times, to me, like a schmuckwad!!!

Yeah and they even try to say Elvis was a racist when it was nobody but the Colonel.. Elvis wasn't racist at all. Like you said the Colonel took so much from Elvis.. As a Black man I always believed that.. There was nobody "Cooler" than Elvis.. Black or White.. (Why thank you very much) LOl!! He used to crack me up when he said that. The Coolest man ever!!!

I also learned after the ELVIS movie that Parker had been in a military jail and was diagnosed as a psychopath. He sucked the life out of Elvis until he died and then still tried to do it off his estate until he was finally exposed for his financial abuse of ELVIS.

@@sherryl3557 He was a psychopath i hated him and i told him many times. Elvis was my friend for 10 yrs. up until his death. Parker was a leech he didn't care about Elvis it was all about the money. I will never watch that movie ever. Regards from Memphis Tn.

I was almost 9 when he died. My family was at a remote church camp in Georgia and somehow the news got to us there. My dad was devastated, it’s about the only time I ever saw him cry.

I keep suggesting this as it shows why he is King of Rock and Roll, period, full stop, no better Rock song on earth or singer.
