MY FIRST TIME HEARING Elvis Presley - Jailhouse Rock (1957) • LFR FAMILY REACTION!! 

Well that 'soul' sound was considered to be rock back then, but he did sing from the bottom of his soul.

Kids today don't realize...after this performance, Major TV wouldn't show him from the waist down...I know I'm repeating the previous post, but it's worth repeating!!! They made "I dream of Jeanie" button cover her belly button!"

That true

You can see his whole body on the Ed Sullivan Show but in later episodes they cropped him up to his chest haha. Ed Sullivan was probably told not to bring Elvis back on the show at all, but Ed believed Elvis was one of the nicest people he ever met so he was happy to have Elvis there.

Ed Sullivan show wouldn't show him from the waist down, I seriously remember

Crazy 🔥🔥🔥

He didn't open the doors, he pried them open with his bare hands.

Bro we all know your lying cut the cap

​@Frogee8495 stop being a hater man get a life

Not quite .

@@terryconnelly484 yes quite.The man performing Suspicious Minds was svelte.

@@williamquinlan2193 Thankyou! So ridiculous this childish 'fat' Elvis & 'skinny' Elvis 🙄 omg Firstly he was a TEEN when he was 1st famous...19...whos isnt slender (ok yh MUCH rare these days...large seems to be the norm) in the 50's most people were althletic n slender...always out doing stuff...Elvis was great at football..all sports ...karate expert...Anyhows...Elvis stayed the same size almost ALL his life...obviously became more muscular as he matured...look at Suspicious Minds in approx 1970...fit as anything and mid 30's....still fit in his global concert and Madison Square concerts...73/74(?) So it was ONLY in his last COUPLE OF YRS...75-77 (an remember he died in the summer of 77 so really last 18 MONTHS he did gain weight ) due to illness/overworking/depression....he wasnt happy with his life...and the hope he had to get into serious acting was swept away by that pimp manager of his when Babara Streisland insisted Elvis be her lead man in "A Star is Born"....Elvis agreed n was really excited to do it...but the colonal insisted on a fee he knew was not gonna b accepted so after alot of negotiating Elvis lost the part that couldve revived his life....he became very disillusioned...was dead not long after! If anyone cares to watch the videos of Elvis on his last tour/concert even i was surprised how slim he looked..coming off his plane in a tracksuit he doesnt look overly fat...just a bit plump compared to his younger self...who doesnt put on a few pounds! Ffs compared to many of todays stars and normal people Elvis looks positivly skinny lolol And being slender ANY weight gain is more noticeable...a larger person can absorb a stone or 3 sometimes without much difference n noone notices...even half a stone on a slim person & its like "omg are u pregnant!!!?" (Obvs female). So can we PLZ stop goin on about this myth of a fat&thin Elvis....🤟🏼😴🤤 BORING

From what I understand, he put on weight because he did eat alot of fatty foods but the main cause was that he had a twisted colon meaning his intestine ended up blocked. This would make him seem puffed up and overweight for days until he could finally release that pressure and he would normal again within a matter of hours.

@@bendobbing7015 yes ur right Elvis liked his unusual food combos that were more "comfort food"...but he mustve been in so much pain..not just physically but emotionally, creatively and intellectually! I cant imagine how frustrated he mustve felt...no wonder he occasioanally shot at a tv or ranted about something out of the blue at times!! All he did was perform at set times...his "release" from a guilded cage. He might as well have been put in a full body plaster cast head to toe in between shows for all the suppression of his other desires he endured. He was interested in so many subjects...wanted to travel...be taken more seriously regarding acting & searched his whole life for meaning. Reading was probably one of his few ways to "escape" & i dont blame him for wanting to "get out of it" more towards the end of his life...who wouldnt...everyone using you, being wheeled out for performances that became stale even for him despite still having a fantastic voice & not knowing what to do next. Plus a media just plain nasty coz he wasnt the young 20 something still...& "friends" so annoyed at "being sacked without any money" (!!!!???? Er what about those DECADES of cash, cars, homes, free 1st class everything...jewellry...an more im sure! Not thought save a BIT just in case something happened to ur "friend"!?) they HAVE TO write a book about Elvis...mostly negative OF COURSE coz thats what real mates do ...make more cash out of you not get a job of their own & still be there for him 🙄 I hope Elvis faked his death & is now reborn as Pastor Bob...i really do...either way he is at peace...much deserved 💖💫 A shining example of a real humane human giving his all despite all the knocks he recieved personally..& ridiculously STILL does in 2020...Ur forever loved Elvis ur echo will continue thru history 🤟🏼👊🏽

Thanks!!

IS THIS TRUE?!?!?! 🤯🤯🤯 Omg... I don't really care if it isnt. My jaw just hit the floor. Beyond all doubt the best and coolest comment I've EVER read on the internet. EVER!! Holy sh*t. THAT IS AMAZING

@@RheaPXLIV Yes it is very true 😁

@@slaywell1110 that is awesome... my dad absolutely loves Elvis. I’m 36 yrs old but when I was a kid my dad would play the shit out of Elvis cassette tapes in the truck. Def his favorite

@@paulg2100 🥰 we all did 🥰 I sure miss those days of seeing Elvis in concert or in a movie .. he will live forever in memory See if your dad would make copies of his collection for me 😘 ✌

Oh there was a video of a little boy on youtube he was about about 2 the video was uploaded 10 years ago i think but he was loved dancing to the jail house rock .He was to cute and very polite

More genuine than James Brown?

@@Kickinthescience THEY WERE BOTH GENUINE.BOTH OF THEM HAD THEIR OWN STYLE.THEY WERE ALSO VERY GOOD FRIENDS.JAMES BROWN USED TO CALL ELVIS HIS SOUL BROTHER.THERE IS AN INTERVIEW OF HIM SAYING THAT ON RU-vid.

@@Kickinthescience James Brown was very good friends with Elvis, he called him his brother

Imagine going back in time in the 1950s and showing them Cardi B's WAP 🤣. Imagine the reactions

@@RockNRollSurf the 60s was a drugged up, lust decade. So they probably felt stupid and sorry for being angry at Elvis in the 50s. Especially since Elvis kept it classy and did Gospel also while the rest of the worlds music industry was doing drugs and lusting.

…and country

It's good, but I'm partial to the original version by Big Mama Thornton. I wish more people would hear it, or even know that Elvis wasn't the first to record it.

@@Indecisive_Action A lot of Elvis fans know that. Elvis even had her songs in his jukebox. Elvis version sounds totally different. Leiber and stoller wrote the song and they wrote quite a few songs for Elvis as well.

@@annaakin195 Yes, I know that fans of Elvis do. I just wish it was public knowledge, since it's such a well known song. Edit: On your comment about it sounding totally different. I never said that they were similar, meant quite the opposite, and I genuinely prefer her sound.

@@Indecisive_Action I love Elvis but I know big Mama Thornton did but I prefer his version the one thing you have to say about Elvis at least he made it possible for black musicans at last to get the recognition they deserved that's why he had so many friends amongst them remember he had a lot of stick when he first came out but he never let that stop him he didn't think he was doing anything wrong when you look at today what they do he was mild same as the black artists then as well stay safe 😷✌

Yes! Especially "Hound Dog" as Elvis performed it Live on Milton Berle's show June 5, 1956.

Yup. Jimi HAD "it".

Little Richard is buried in my home town. Rip

I have the 68 comeback listed on ebay on vhs

My understanding is that he did 33 feature films

@@janinefarris7565 he did but his last two movies That's The Way It is and Elvis on Tour were not scripted and were recordings of Elvis performing live.

No, he did not do the choreography for this scene. 🙄🙄🙄

That's not what "What goes around comes around" means, but ok.

@@Saranda4787 okay sure, there’s the Karmic meaning, but it can also be used for cyclical things like fashion and music (otherwise the Karma implications wouldn’t work for the saying)

I love Elvis but nah, he got his moves from the black performers he saw in Memphis clubs as a teenager. Calvin Newborn, Billy "The Kid" Emerson & more were local performers who were renowned for their flamboyant dance moves & Elvis loved them.

@@mojo-media I was on about he did them first before this generation I know Elvis got some of his moves elsewhere not all though he just had natural rhythm as well that can't be taught you've either got it or not stay safe 😷👍

@@mojo-media You can see that Michael Jackson was influenced by Elvis somewhat. Kind of goes in a full circle.

Wrong, Grease i s from 1978

@@perbhn6986 you are a fucking idiot dumb ass grease was set in the 50s the movie itself was made in 78 get educated loser

@@joshreactmullings8943 Try to get some help.

@@perbhn6986 lol look who speaking u thought grease was taking place in the 70s haha embarrassment u are

@@joshreactmullings8943 I would recommend anger management class, you need that. I know my 1950, and that Greece was inspired by that. Man you cant even read, you are just a little net troll with a miserable life.

Sorry, I love Elvis just as much as you, but he did not create these moves. He adopted them from the Blues and R&B dancers that he grew up playing with. I'm not gonna act like he stole the moves because that's just how exposure goes, but he didn't invent the moves. He rocked the moves for sure and did them better than most at the time.

@@TheBlackQueen Please show those that he got those moves from. Those were his moves. Period.

Elvis grew up going to black clubs in Memphis such as The Flamingo Room. He would watch performers such as Calvin Newborn & Billy Emerson who were known for their flamboyant dance moves (Newborn was known for standing on his toes whilst playing guitar). Yes Elvis was a great performer, but he was heavily influenced by black culture.

• Well, I'm going to have to agree to disagree with some of you on this one guys. I'm not saying he never saw anyone else dancing or wasnt slightly influenced by others but, I feel what he did on a national stage was completely his own. He was much more original then I think people give him credit for. And, also, from a much more "broader perspective" he opened the door drastically for this type of stage entertainment on a national level. The majority of his original fan base grew up listening to a voice on a radio... it's a completely different experience to actually be able to "SEE" him moving around and feeling the music. Elvis had the looks, had the charisma, had the talent, had the style, and had the exposure to become what he was and still is... the King of Rock and Roll. In my humble opinion lol 😉
