Elvis is our hometown boy! I lived next to his cousin when I was 4-5 years old. Elvis would drive down from Memphis to Tupelo to visit family. I would always run over to Mr. Harold Ray's when I saw Elvis ride in on his motorcycle or convertible. I always wanted to ride. My mother was wary of motorcycles, but I can still hear Elvis saying Mrs. Iris, I'll protect her, but I can't tell her no. I had no concept of fame and only knew him as the sweet guy that would take me for rides. After I moved away and started my own life, Mr. Harold Ray Presley was sheriff of Lee County. He was killed in a shoot-out with a kidnapper. The kidnapper and victim were also killed. The Presley genes are strong and I can still see young and older distant cousins that resemble Elvis when I visit Tupelo.
Most beautiful human to ever walk the earth. I am 80 and loved him when I saw him on Sullivan in 1956 when I was 12. It's an obsession I never get over. Thanks so much for your great reaction.
The first time he was on the Ed Sullivan Show he did the gospel song Peace in the Valley. Ed Sullivan didn’t want him to sing it but Elvis said he had to because he promised his mama he would do it. Can you imagine an artist doing that today? I can’t.
Every guy I ever saw interviewed about him almost always ended the interview by saying "He was just a good ol' boy." Down South, that's the ultimate compliment. Not bad. Not bad at all.
Going to Graceland is on my bucket list !!! Elvis is the greatest singer entertainer and humanitarian ever. And no one today can match his brilliance 💕
I’m 66 and was fortunate to actually see Elvis in concert five time, Chicago Stadium June 1972, October 1976, May 1977… I also was very fortunate in August 1974 at the then Las Vegas Hilton twice a dinner show and the I wanted to see him again and paid, as I recall $12.50 to stand up in the Balcony to see a midnight show, I was 16 at the time. All of his concerts were fabulous but I must say seeing him at the Hilton in Vegas was extra special because the showroom held only 2,000 people as opposed to 20,000 people, so much more intimate. Thanks for reacting to Elvis and look forward to seeing more Elvis reactions. Take care.
Elvis singing Bridge Over Troubled Water from this same concert in 1970 (has to be this one as it's the best version he did) in Vegas. Thank you, can't get enough of this wonderfully talented man.
He is good looking and has a wonderful voice but talented no...he never wrote a song...but God blessed him with looks and an amazing voice and charisma ❤
Long live the king of rock n roll and everything else. Good night Graceland. Texas. I been a Elvis fan before I was born. My mom and aunts saw the king 3 times in the 50s Wichita falls and frothworth. Tx. I watch and listen to the king everyday. Back in the 60s when we were kids and it was school the next day we got to stay up and watch the king. Yall keep rocking darlings.
"There is nothing better in this lifetime than to watch Elvis Presley shake those legs! ....." 😂😂😂 so true. I love your enthusiasm Donna. I agree from the other side of the World! He is the best there is! ❤⚡🔥🥇🎶🎧(🇿🇦🌍)
Hey Gys, have you listened to any of his 68 come back special? A few really great ones are.. " Trying to get to you" Love me, and "One night with you" you'll love all three of them
I was lucky enough to get to see him in his last concert before he died in Indianapolis, IN 6/26/77 still have the ticket stub I live about 35 mi north of there.
Mom I love your reaction. You gave me just as much joy watching you enjoy Elvis. I couldn't wait until he started moving to see your expression. It's the same as mine. You could hardly confine yourself to the chair. 😂🤣😅 God knows how many times I've watched this video or any of his other videos. I never get tired of watching Elvis. 🤗 Don't forget that he's a real jokester too. LIKED, COMMENTED & SUBSCRIBED. R.I.Paradise Elvis! 😇🙏🏽💖
They got a hotel down there now just close to Graceland an as soon as you walk in the door it is completely identical to Graceland even the furniture is replicate. Before opening it Lisa Marie an Priscilla did an inspection to make sure nothing was different. An yes there are rooms an every room replicates a bedroom in Graceland.
Great reaction. I'm sat on a beach in Sri Lanka on vacation from England singing away! I travelled thousands of miles to graceland back in 2001 to visit his home and memphis it was fantastic as we're the people.💙
I absolutely love Elvis!!! My mom dear mother passed away a few years ago, she got me into Elvis at a young age. I’m pushing 50 and have been listening to Elvis since I was 6 years old!🕺😎❤️
Yes, I have been to Graceland many times but I’m always saying to my mom. Thank you for playing those records to me when I was a child growing up in England. Yes, he was number one for me for the rest of my life, and when I first went to Graceland. I had many I had. Many tears in my eyes, walking through the home of Elvis Presley. 😊🥲👏👏👏
Elvis is my god he’s my idol he’s everything for some. I saw in 1973. He was in Hawaii. I was seven years old and I was hooked. I loved him my jaw dropped. Sounds like oh my God my mom love them my dad hate him because I know you’re jealous but he’s a man. Oh my God I just try to be so much like him. He’s my idol. He’s my God it’s all going to say.
SUBBED❤ 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❤️😉
Y'all both had big smiles on your faces and were in the "Elvis Trance" the whole song while also being Elvis Bobbleheads......hahaha. Doncha just love it!!
Thanks for your reaction. Elvis was born on January 8, 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi, in a 2 room shack of a house his dad built with money he borrowed from his boss. That's how dirt poor they were. He was one half of identical twins; the other boy - Jesse Garon - was stillborn. They were so poor, that Jesse Garon was buried in a shoebox in an unmarked grave. At Graceland they have a plaque with his name on it in his memory. Elvis always got along with the black community and learned a lot about music from his friends of color. Also, according to the one drop rule, Elvis would not be considered white, since he has Cherokee ancestors on both the Smith (his mother) and the Presley (his father) sides of the family. His paternal grandfather, Jesse Dunning Presley, was not happy that his two sons, Elvis' father Vernon and his brother Vester, married two sisters, Gladys and Clettes who were known to have Cherokee blood in their family tree. J.D. Presley was quite the racist a-hole, often drunk and a philandering husband to Minnie Mae (they were actually separated long before they finally divorced in 1954) who was always competing with his sons Vester and Vernon and who was known to abuse his kids when drunk. J.D. was was publicly against race mixing and was in denial about the Cherokee blood in his own family tree. It was more publicly known that the Smith family had Native blood in their family tree, so when both his sons fell for 2 Smith sisters and Vernon, on top of that, was still a minor at 17 when he eloped with Gladys who was 4 years older than him, Jesse was totally pissed off. As a child, Elvis already had many friends in the black community at the time his family was one of 4 "white" families that lived in the predominantly black neighborhood The Hill, just across from Shake Rag. His childhood friend Sam Bell said that some of the (black) kids in that neighborhood had lighter skin than Elvis (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LrFCyNMvZWk.html). One of Elvis' bodyguards once said that he thought it was a miracle Elvis got into Humes High School in Memphis, because it was "lily white". Elvis wanted to be more open about his Native ancestry, but his manager "colonel" Tom Parker (real name Andreas van Kuijk) was against it because he was afraid it might cost Elvis fans (and himself money). They did have Elvis play characters in his movies though where he had Native American blood (Flaming Star, G.I. Blues, Stay Away Joe). Once Elvis had his own (apprentice) job learning to be an electrician, he saved up his money and bought his clothes in the same style that many of his friends of color wore. He was called a (forgive me, just stating facts here) "n-lover" and got beaten up several times too. Later, when he was an established star, he would not perform at places where the members of color of his back-up band/orchestra weren't allowed.
I love this! You ladies are awesome I subbed! I too love Elvis since I was a little girl!❤ I was an 80s baby and grew up in the 90s but my sisters and I loved Elvis we watched his movies and had cds of him but it wasn't until I watched the Elvis movie last year thst I really started to register to him and watch his live performances on utube ive never seen like this one and holy cow I am in love with this man he is my happy place!❤
I recommend making a reaction to one of the best vocalists in the world. Meet Diana Ankudinova! Diana has the title - Queen of Goosebumps. Challenge yourself, can you resist the charm of her voice? One of the last comments about Diana's voice: Pffff.... her voice is really very special, unclassifiable, atypical, out of the ordinary... 💖 1) super unique voice (dramatic contralto with polyphonic overtones); 2) the most complex vocal techniques, a bewitching voice; 3) Diana sings in 6 languages : English, French, Russian, German, Spanish, Arabic and any musical genre; 4) incredible charisma, artistry and living of any song; 5) a vocal range of 4 octaves; 6) a large army of fans around the world; 7) an independent artist, without producers and labels, only with the support of fans and reactors like you; 8) more than 18 thousand reactions (all collected in my playlists). 17 reactions received between 1 and 3.7 million views. The incredible fate of a girl found with a broken collarbone at a bus stop and ended up in an orphanage.
One of the most famous hits of the king of rock 'n' roll in an unrivaled gorgeous, phenomenal performance by Diana Ankudinova ( 18 y.o.) Can’t Help Falling in Love (Elvis Presley / DARK VERSION cover) VERY IMORTANT, the video must be original (duration - 8.56m) from Diana's channel, NOT a short pirated copy from "brocoli". 14 million views 325k likes - total 1316 reactions to this performance by Diana. ❗ATTENTION: 1) Please use ONLY original content from Diana Ankudinova official channel. 2) Videos from TV shows are often blocked by RU-vid and video EDITING is required. MV, live performances are available for unlimited reactions WITHOUT EDITING.
Just check the very final scene, when he disappears into the dark, he comes out in a different Jump-suit ... an editing mistake in the film " That's the way it is ! " from 1970 ...
Because the DVD was done over 6 different performances, I believe MGM didn't think anyone would notice that little difference @ end -- they may have preferred the Chain suit ending to his Concho suit ending. Also, supposedly Elvis didn't know that fade-out/fade-in was going to happen. Btw, if you notice 2 rows of chains are ripped -- that happened during his 2nd audience walk-through -- some people actually lifted him up off the floor -- he said he'd never go back down there again for love nor money, when asked to come down again.
Suggestions? (1) The water throwing incident from '72 Hampton Roads when at the extreme very, very start of the video Elvis called out “Please Release Me” but the band began playing “I Can’t Stop Loving You” - he didn’t stop them, he went right into the song, he then walked over to his glass of water, picked it up & playfully threw it at Glen @ piano -- this is a fun, energetic, powerhouse ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LNtP5Gd8QGE.html -- just make sure to hear him say Please Release Me & then the water will make sense, & note his little irritated look at beginning. (This rarely gets requested or played but is amazing -- his voice is powerful & a little richer & so fun - hope you won't pass it up.) There are 2 from his '68 special stand-up segment that are quite short: "Blue Suede Shoes" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ak5KEbi8Nac.html (2:50 min.) from sitting to center stage -- this is the little longer version w-a real cute finish @ end that the other version doesn't show. "Jailhouse Rock" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-87N6Qa0D7KY.html (1:50 min.). Since they are short maybe you can do one then do the second after - they total only 4 min. This is Elvis unleashed, doing what he did best. I've been watching & listening to Elvis since 1954 age 11. I still have some 45's, LP's & albums & those vinyls sound as good today as they did back then. No one in my family thought anything wrong about his movements -- in fact when my mom saw him for the 1st time on TV she said he's going to be very big one day. Thanks.
BACKGROUND INFO: Written by Mark James in '68 it's based on one night when James was fooling around on his guitar & came up with what he thought was a catchy melody. At the time, he was married to his first wife but still had feelings for his childhood sweetheart, who was married back in Houston. James' wife had suspicions about his feelings. He felt it was a confusing time for him and that all three were "caught in this trap that they could not walk out of." (new sub)
@@KathyLuluandDonna You're welcome. Just curious -- since there was no little "heart" reply does that mean you would overlook the suggestions, or did I misunderstand something --- thank you.
Cissy Houston was w-Elvis for just 5 weeks in 1969 from July 31st to Aug. 28th. She then left to be at home w-her children. There are 2 issues w-this: (1) Whitney Houston said her mother was w-Elvis for years which isn't true but people will tend to believe her (2) Myrna Smith, one of Elvis' backup singers, resembles Cissy Houston so people think that was her on stage but it isn't. After Cissy left Elvis had three Black backup girls for a time until he hired a 4th. (Btw, her name is spelled Cissy - thx.)
Elvis came up for TCB as the band name for his backup band in 1969 when he came back to stage in Vegas. Then TCB became his motto and eventually made a logo (letters TCB surrounding a lighting bolt) meant to signify taking care of business in a flash.
Long live the king hey I have always loved him since I was a 3 or 4 on and mom your eyes were opening wider and wider but I get it I'm as straight as it gets but he brings the girl out in me I admit it also very glad your daughter enjoys him how could it be any other way
This man was a beautiful soul he heard of a woman who is crippled and she had to crawl around on the floor he went Walker the best wheelchair you can buy and took it to her home not to mention the many many cars homes payed people's medical bills they'll never be another one very talented but most of all he cared for other people people today that are entertainers I don't believe do what he did.
You should react to Jacob Tolliver covering Jerry Lee Lewis at Jerry Lees birthday party It’s the closest thing I’ve ever seen or heard that’s come close the The Killer
Good morning, this channel is great, I'm new here, the reactions are truly sincere and that's important, I would suggest Linda Ronstadt, she is one of the best singers. Greetings from Peru!.
React to The Animals' "The House Of The Rising Sun." Truly a remarkable performance by them. Just as good as The Beatles. Also react to Michael Jackson's "Thriller."
I'm loving those Southern accents! Hopefully my request will be on soon...sorry to hear about your hack! Scum of the earth spoiling your channel. x ps...please don't put me on straight after ELVIS. That boy was the King.
Hearing Elvis triggers me. I don't hate his music but my abusive mother used to play his music all the time when I was growing up so it's both gotten stale from overuse and now I can't stop associating it with that.
