What's So Great About Elvis Presley In The 70s with Russ | Infectious Groove Music 

Do you like Elvis in the 70s? If so, drop us a comment and let us know what's so great about him!

The 50s were magical. The 70s were legendary.

He chose what he wanted to sing.

Everything!!! I agree with everything you said. I will add, his kindness and humility. He gave soooo much, just for the love of seeing someone smile and just for the simple act of giving. He was so humble and NEVER forgot where he came from. Didn't matter what color skin, religion etc.. There will never be another Elvis. He had the such talent, charisma & oozed sexiness! He loved his craft and he loved his fans! TCB ⚡👑 Great topic ... Thank you 🌹

I have to say that I have only started digging deep into the Elvis catalog in the last couple of years and I was shocked by how much I LOVE Elvis of the 70s. Previously, I had always said, "I like Elvis, just not 70s Elvis." However, having listened to more of his 70s catalog, I am now obsessed with 70s Elvis. I am convinced that his greatest sin (as far as most critics go) was gaining weight. When I read reviews of his 70s albums I expected to hear absolute crap. But that did not match what I heard when I actually listened. It seems that critics/journalists/commentators can forgive his prescription drug abuse, they can overlook his preference for young girls, but they make fun of and ridicule his appearance in the last two or three years of his life as if it diminished his entire existence. Thank you for this video. ❤🎶❤

Great video! I got into Elvis as a 9-year-old and I don't think I appreciated the 70's work as much, even though I loved "In the Ghetto." I just found his '50s and '60s energy so compelling (hip-shaking, etc.). As I got older, I realized just how much intensity there still was in his '70s performances. It was less about being flashy (besides the bling and jumpsuits) and more about being passionate about the performance. Elvis said after hearing a demo of "If I Can Dream," "I'm never going to sing another song I don't believe in." You can tell in his '70s performance that he has a much greater passion and intensity because he really cares about the songs he's singing. (SIDE NOTE: I went to Graceland before a major surgery; it was a transformative experience for me. I remember taking a picture in front of the gates late at night and shouting, "I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M REALLY HERE" as all the traffic came to a sudden halt as I got my photo opp.)

Very good comments re his voice and how it developed. My favourite decade of his too. He is still vocally-underrated imo x

He dies his hair. His hair was blondish redish color so he colored it because he thought it would show up better. He first did it when he was just starting out.
