MUSICIAN REACTS to Elvis Presley - Unchained Melody (Live 1977) 

The body may have failed him but his voice never did. God rest your soul Elvis.

Elvis, that voice never failed him! It's hard to watch him in this condition just weeks before he passed. That voice will forever sing!

It blows my mind and breaks my heart to think this performance was his last and he would die weeks later.

Hi John - this was his last concert in June 1977 - he said good bye to all of his fans. Fantastically sung by darling Elvis!

He owns the song, thats for sure.. Can't express it any better...

Ma come faceva? Stava male ma Elvis aveva ancora una voce fantastica! Elvis the king 😍

I don’t want to think is his last. He was to great at this performance. Elvis you’re the best

It is strange.... You can see his beauty under that swelling..despite his difficulties to even breath ..he deliveres once again with charisma that left you in awe. High notes, that falsetto..... Elvis was a proud man..to be on stage knowing that he does not look good.. that is bravery. By the way I love your shirt

Elvis the greatest artist of our time and no one would ever come close !

It breaks my heart to see him so Ill . He gave his all even though,physically , he was low but the voice never wavered …..a true entertainer the likes you’ll never see again ❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶

ELVIS NEAR HIS END IS STILL BEAUTIFUL & HIS VOICE AS BEAUTIFUL AS EVER. BEAUTIFUL SONG. WOW IS RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO

Everyone, let’s not forget he was gone 6 weeks later, he was playing piano while singing AND he hit notes like this - with this kind of raw power, passion and depth WHILE SITTING DOWN!

His majestic voice never left him! LONG LIVE THE KING!

Hard to believe he passed just 6 weeks later..he gave it everything right until the end.

As a lifelong Elvis fan, it's always difficult to see him in that '77 concert. It makes you wish that the people around him could have done something to change the course of events that were to unfold.

Makes me cry every time I watch this . Know how sick he was and still to perform for his fans. He loved his fans as much as we loved him. Elvis always brought it until the end. TCB

❤️ 🎶 ".. Beloved Elvis Presley 💕 an extraordinary Singer and persona 🏆 like no other's.. Magnificence ln Abundance. Thanks for sharing ❤️ and enjoy a delightful evening..". 🎶 ❤️

Breaks my heart every single time I see this. 😢

You see and hear him struggling with his breath, but his voice is spectacular. Elvis was the King and still is nothing will ever compare x

Every time I see this I cry. Six weeks later he was gone. Unbelievable voice. God Bless this beautiful man and his beautiful soul. RIP

Unbelievable that he died shortly after this! Incredible voice!

No one can ever top this man Ever

Even though he was sick he never lost his voice.

That brought tears to my eyes watching him. He died 6 weeks later. No one comes close to Elvis, he was a gift from God, and his looks, voice, charisma, dancer/mover, and most of all his empathy for others, makes him the "KING" of music. No one could ever come close to his talent, ever. I listen to him sing every day, and his voice is like no other. I will always love him.

I've watched this last live performance of his so many times over and knowing in hindsight that it would only be weeks before he died just breaks my heart. Towards the end when he sings My Way.. I have never been able to stop the tears. There will never be another Elvis

Elvis Presley showed his feelings in his songs. He was the best singer ever lived. Great performance

An operatic performance of a rock ballad. Unbeatable!

He put his whole body & soul into that song Its my all time favorite There will never be another Elvis Thank God for him Love this man

He passed away a few weeks after this incredible concert 😔...

The voice never left him !!!!

No one ever came close to this men, The Revolutionary Elvis, and no one ever will, there's only one Elvis, that's why his called the King, The Voice, Wow, I Love Elvis !

Although his voice stays amazing, when I watch Elvis perform in his later years, I have always thought he looked like a man who was ill, not just on drugs. I am from a medical family, and my dad, a doctor, always thought the same thing. He would comment that Elvis looked like he was on cortisone (which I have recently found out he was for his lungs). You have to watch the video, or read the book, Elvis: destined to die young by Sally Hoedel. She is a professional journalist and a lifetime Elvis fan who always questioned why did Elvis, his mom, and her two brothers, have similar deaths and health issues. She did extensive research into Elvis's family health history and found out that his mother's parents were 1st cousins who married, and as a result, passed on several genetic health issues to Gladys, her two brothers, and Elvis. Elvis suffered from a young boy of insomnia, and bowel issues. We now would be able to diagnose that as Hirschsprung's disease (congenital megacolon) causing terrible constipation and abdominal pain. Sally's research clearly documents that Elvis, his maternal grandmother, and mother all had an autoimmune disorder that affected their liver and lungs. Autoimmune diseases are only recently better understood. However, due to the fact that Elvis grew up really below the poverty line for years, they had no access to medical care. In the early 1970's, Elvis's doctor did try to understand why a man of his age would have so many health issues, but the tests that would have discovered his illness were not developed. There were no CT scans, MRI's, ultrasounds, etc. Therefore, they threw the drugs they had available at his symptoms, without really treating the underlying disease. It was only in his autopsy report that they found out he suffered from an auto immune inflammatory process. Did he take prescription drugs, Yes; but, I think unlike an addict who takes drugs to escape life, Elvis was taking them for real medical ailments that neither he, nor his docotrs totally understood, and that he was trying to figure out how to survive and continue to be Elvis. Sally states in her book: "There are eleven main systems in the human body and Elvis endured disorder/disease in nine of them. His heart (circulatory system), his lungs (respiratory system), and his bowels (digestive/excretory systems) required medication. Insomnia affected his nervous system. The adrenal gland failure and resulting low testosterone are both issues of the endocrine system. His immune system was compromised. His urinary system was not functioning properly. The arthritis that caused Elvis severe pain throughout his body impacted his muscular system and skeletal system. There is clearly more at play here than a dependence on prescription medication when more than eighty percent of Elvis’ bodily systems did not function properly. When we add to that the evidence that I have uncovered proving that of those nine, five-the circulatory (heart disease), respiratory (Alpha 1), digestive/excretory (megacolon), nervous (insomnia) and immune (hypogammaglobulinemia)-were present since birth and certainly prior to the prescription drug use that accompanied fame." Elvis dedicated his life to getting his family out of poverty, and keeping them out. At the end of his life he had more than 100 people on his payroll, and I believe that he was a very ill man who was struggling to continue to provide for those he loved, and to give everyone what they wanted--Elvis Presley. I am thankful that Sally has done some interviews that are posted on RU-vid, and has written a book that helps us understand the man, and that gives him back his integrity. He was NOT a dope riddled man. He was an ill man trying to survive, and who wanted to continue to bless the world with his unique gifts. Baz Luhrman got this wrong in his movie.

Yes John he ownes the song. Well said. This was 8 weeks before he passed. Powerful vocals. 👍⚡🎤

WOWWW!! WOWWW, WOWWW. LO AMOOO!!❤❤❤❤❤👑❤👑❤👑❤❤👏👏👏👏😘

He is untouchable ... that gorgeous smile ..... long live the KING of music . RIP x

You can tell just by looking at him that he was just so tired. It's obvious that he was in poor health but there was so much sadness and fatigue in his eyes. He didn't look like he could make it through another song but he shockingly belted this one out. What a performance. He did How Great Thou Art just a couple of weeks before he passed.....it was stunning. You really need to check that one out. I had goosebumps the whole time he was singing it.

Before Elvis There Was Nothing....Even After...Long Live The King Of Music

People came to watch him here because he is Elvis..and nobody else. His greatest days were behind him but the was the King...no matter what! And this stuff matters!!

Every time I hear this I cry. This was his last concrete. He died six weeks later. The Show Must Go On. He not only was the King of Rock and Roll; he was the Greatest Entertainer of the Twentieth Century. Will Love this man always and forever

The best of the best!!!!He had, had 3 heart attacks by this time. The one side of his heart was 2 times larger than the other. So that's why he had a hard time breathing. I read somewhere that said he was quite a good piano player. A very talented and gifted man.😊

Always will be the King of Rock and Roll!

Elvis was the beginning and the end and we will love him forever. Thank you for your show please review Don’t Think Twice

Elvis made songs his own. That's what you get from ELVIS anytime. He was and still is the best. That's why he is the KING OF MUSIC. TCB

I'd forgotten how well he played the piano until I watched his performance here again. He worked hard at keeping it together for his fans though one could see how it was a bit exhausting for him. I'm so glad he looked happy here, smiling for his audience and seemingly satisfied he gave them his best. 😘

This song rips your heart out absolutely brilliant.

I get so emotional whenever I hear Elvis version ♥️🎵🎤🇿🇦 He was absolutely amazing ♥️

I dont care what journey of his life he was in... Prefection!

Always brings a tear when I watch Elvis perform this song, you can see he's not well, but he still gives one hell of performance with such strong vocals. That's why he is still referred to as the 'King' to this day.

The powerful voice of the Greatest entertainer

Elvis was an amazing talent to the end.

He has such beautiful and strong voice .

Greatest singer to ever live!

The man gave it his all; even to the end. A lot of people didn't know that before he went on stage in May, 1977 for this concert; he had to use an inhaler because of asthma like symptoms. Yet he pushed thru with such control. Never to disappoint despite his failing health. Amazing!!

😭😭😭 I cry every time I see this, because I know it’s one of his last performances...So beautiful! God bless!

He owned every song he sang. The most beautiful and powerful voice ever. 2021

I love seeing Elvis like this he still had that beautiful smile sense of humor chrisma stage presence and that voice so strong and powerful so amazing

Elvis was and always will be the king of Rock and Roll. Elvis Forever!

I couldn't hold back my tears in this scene while watching the Elvis movie.... 🥺🥺🥺😔😔👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️💋🌹🤴🤴🤴💐

I totally agree with your reaction ! Elvis is incomparable ..............Simply the greatest singer of all times ...............

Its incredible sad to see this performance just six weeks before his unexpected death, you can tell his candle is starting to extinguish, he extremely ill, however, to the very end he never disappointed his fans and his voice is brilliant. RIP Elvis 🌹

Elvis is and always was the Best, that voice, he was humble, generous, I have loved him as an entertainer and human being since I saw him perform for the first time on Ed Sullivan, I was a little kid and I was hooked, life time fan, no one can ever come close to this man never I Love Elvis !

Just weeks before passing and the voice is beyond incredible 👑

Oh dear, this brings back sad memories. I got to see this concert in Indianapolis 1977. His last. Of course we were in the nosebleed section. But, for the chance to see him - we had binoculars. Many songs he couldn’t finish and the backup singers took over. I remember this so clearly. It was, it still brings me to tears. You can see how heavy he was. Trouble breathing. But always the showman. Rest In Peace dear Elvis. We loved yo so much. I just saw the Elvis movie last night. This is the closing video. Sweet Elvis.

Just a wonderful Man that sang like no other & blessed us all to be able to hear His amazing voice!!!!

He gave his all to his fans and at the time we didnt know he was close to the end .cause we loved him for what he was .the one and only.

I have always felt that this performance, Elvis knew that he wasn't going to be around much longer. He put EVERYTHING into this one song specifically. Beautiful

I have not words to describe the feeling , the unique voice that only Elvis can have, impressive , that sympathy , the smile, everything in him is magnificent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The goat never will there be another like him. Elvis is in a class of his glad that I was born in that era I'm in my 70s now and will always love Elvis RIP our sweet man John if you get a chance Elvis singing Black Limousine fantastic song saw it on Utube during his funeral Glad to see young generation appreciating the King

I loved it.. Beautiful song. No signs that Elvis voice was wearing out at all, if anything he was sounding much better and very strong.. It wasn't that he was so much overweight, but that he was retaining so much fluid and had to take diuretics to get his weight down. After a show and all that sweating he always looked much lighter. He was in great spirits the night he passed looking forward to another tour...

I love those smiles he gave to the audience and then the band... He may have been thinking 'i got this'. Elvis band and background singers always knew how to follow Elvis and pick up his flaws. They could synchronize to perfection. There will never be another Elvis. I'm thankful I saw him perform in Monroe, LA in early 70s.

Still the King and No one Will ever come clouse. This man had it All. Sad to die only 42. But Elvis was Elvis and the most famous man ever since he was 19 years. Its not easy. Hey young People it was not autotune like today its live whiout

Yes, Elvis' voice and what he did with it - amazing! 'Unchained Melody' was a hit in the 1950s done by both Al Hibler and Roy Hamilton. Later it was a hit again by the Righteous Bros. As usual, Elvis' version is special.

Best performer that ever walked this planet and the kindest and loving man. We miss you Elvis. R.I.P. ♥️

The man could sing anything

Elvis was incredible, absolutely incredible voice and spirit.

With his body failing him, his voice only got stronger. That is breathtaking.

Death was catching up with him but that voice never failed!

We have never seen nor will we see a performance like this. It is absolutely unrepeatable.

Before ELVIS there was nothing ♥️ his voice os increíble ...

This is why he will always be the King and no one will ever even come close to my boy

Thanks for playing the KING!!! What a spectacular performance!

This Voice is so Strong . Uff, 😢Elvis, du fehlst. Thanks for your Music

I love Elvis 💕💘💖😥😥😥😥 THE king is The king 👑 forever THE gold voice 🎶🎼🎵🎤🙏 Beutiful reaction 🙏

The fact he was still able to sing like this later in life.

The beauty of his voice never changed, he’s still the King 40 years after he died, what does that tell you? It tells me no one will ever match his talent, ever skinny or fat Elvis is the King period. Search RU-vid for Elvis reactions and you will see the amount of young people who are falling in love with him melinials and younger! A whole new generation is finding Elvis as well as the Carpenters!

He was so sick but never lost his voice that concert was two months before we lost him,thank you very much for sharing ❤ 👑💯 🙏 amen god bless you John,☝👏👍🔥🌹⚡ TCBTLC ⚡ 🇺🇸🇵🇷🎸🎶 🎤👌💋

The smile at the end - he knew he'd done a great job!

I just can't watch this....I've seen this many times and my heart 💔 😔 This is why he's the King and always will be. No one will ever come close to his talent. Here it is, 47 years after his passing, and we're still amazed by him. It has been said before...his body may have failed him but, his voice never did. Rest is peace Elvis. We love and miss you deeply ❤️ 💖 💓 💗 💕

The King forever...

This one gets me everytime. I've been watching reaction vids for several months of different artists and I've been watching people react to Elvis for a little over a month now and everytime I watch this one I cry. I love it but it makes me cry. 😢

I know why I love Elvis so much . That voice 🎼😄🙏🏻 from even

He has a powerful voice that God has bestowed... The sound is perfect... Elvis.. Elvis... 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️💋

Alex North and Hy zarat wrote the song, Elvis did a great version, has we all know only weeks before he passed away . Still sad to watch even after all these years. Great reaction again keep up the good work.

It WAS his last concert, and did you know that every concert was SOLD OUT that he ever did? The KING!

Tanks jhon for video for best song the last performance for the king Elvis Presley 👑

the best hands down, nothing today compares to the KING...

The most versatile entertainer ever. Can you think of anyone in your repertoire of knowledge about entertainers that could go from Jailhouse Rock to a song Like Loving You or song, I Can't Help Falling in Love With You to Burning Love to, Hound Dog to a song Like Love Me Tender. Can you think of anyone with that array of talent? Thank you John, you will soon be at a thousand.

It is very hard for me to watch this because in 1977 i was a kid of 12 years old, and Elvis fan since my 5. I had seen him already for 5 times and I wanted to go to this concert but my mom didn't allow me because the day after this concert i had an exam to do. 6 weeks later he died and that was for me an enormous shock, i was heartbroken and furious to my mom, I didnt speak to her for days. It felt I didn't say goodbye to him, I saw him also as my best friend. I went to his funeral on August 18 and believe me that was a funeral I never forget. I saw many people fainting, I heard Jimmy Carter who was president of USA saying "We never had a king, except Elvis Presley" I never forget the scene when the music gate of graceland openend and the cars came out and the police officers standing gave the military salut.
