I’d play this on my guitar nightly while my dad was wrought with cancer. Didn’t really listen to the lyrics except for god give me strength. The emotion of Elvis brings me back. Thinking now maybe the “she” was his cancer. Bit of a stretch maybe but I know he is with god now and looking after all his loved ones

I had the pleasure of seeing him perform at NU HS at the University of Northern Iowa a year or two before this. My drum corp instructor/private tutor invited me to the concert, and even took me back stage to meet him. I still have the program from that concert with his autograph on the front. A very kind and generous man, and a total inspiration to a young horn blower.

Bravo🎉🎉🎉🎉

❤

Still quote this as being the most impressive thing I've seen performed live, and I've seen many. Cardiff 1999, his un-mic'd voice filled the 2000 seater auditorium. Lonely World Tour.

Wonderful

Fantastico; secondo solo a Fritz Wunderlich !

JESUS está voltando!

My God. Sublime.

when elvis released this, i realized that all elvis really wanted to be was a crooner/big band leader, like his father

What model horn is he playing on Tonight Show video?

Clark Terry was the John Coltrane of flugelhorn players.

I can’t listen to any woman singing this song. They sing about masculine on both sides therefore misrepresenting what Burt Bacharach meant. I’m not a fan of changing lyrics but in this case I would understand but at least do it correctly otherwise the song has lost its meaning.

Snooky Young on lead trumpet !

Love his voice

One of my favorite EC songs. So emotional. Right up there with This House is Empty Now

This is amazing

The feelings I feel while listening to this song are indescribable…….his voice, Burt Bacharach ‘s notes and his lyrics ….transported…..

😊❤️🌟Joy👍

EC isn't always great, but when he comes out with belters like this every now and then, do we care?

One of the most beautiful songs ever written. So much emotion. <3

Unreal great song

Don't ever let anybody tell you you need a college degree in Music to be a professional musician. 90% of all the people they study in music school don't have degrees.

mi viene da piangere.

Brilliant ❤

Met Terry in 1972. He was very gracious with a young punk trumpet player. 😊

Wonderful video! Thank you!

I remember Clark Terry.

Yuck. Very odd. Linda Ronstadt blows all versions out of the water. He had a lot of nerve panning her covers of his songs 😊

RIP, Maestro Seiji Ozawa...

How I like him/. Plenty of roses/.

I was hoping he would do "Mumbles". That is a classic. But the Tonight Show Band? The best.

Anyone who’s can through the end of a relationship knows the pain in these lyrics Genius doesn’t come near just masterpiece of work RIP Burt Bachera

Love this song. Have followed Costelloes career since the eighties, i can.say with conviction Elvis you move me with this song

Thank you so much for uploading this.

My freshman year in high school Mr. Terry came and did a clinic and concert. I was 14- he was the first African-American man I ever met. I blew a chorus on "Cold Potato Stomp" and after the show my jazz-loving grandfather had his picture taken with Clark. He carried that with him till he passed. The next year Ed Shaughnessy came- Hollywood as all get out. Seems like another lifetime now...

GOOD.....GOOD....GOOD !!!!!!!!!!!

Please God ,give me strength.thank you Lord

So glad I saw him once live in very small Jazz club in Vienna, I was sitting 2m away from him, was fascinated not only by the music, but also by the white towel he used, while not playing.

Amazing talent! To the legendary Burt Bacharach, sleep peacefully, your music will always be a blessing.

Joel Di Bartolo killing it on that bass line!

Even the best can come in a measure early at that tempo. Trumpet entrance at 0:54

Perfect.

Best live version of this EVER!!

Listen to Alison Moyet version its beautifully and haunting.

I see some comments about spotting celebrated performers in the ensemble, and how big Seiji's conducting is. I was in the chorus for this event. This was the finale, and just about everyone who had performed all evening joined us onstage. So that's why you see well-known people who were generally soloists and conductors singing in the ensemble. As @barbaraclemens7728 commented, it was an enormous cast. And it was a huge stage. The conducting had to be big to be seen at all. In addition to Upshaw and Hadley, John Williams, John Mauceri, Mstislav Rostropovich, Victor Borge, YoYo Ma, Quincy Jones, Frederica von Stade, Barbara Hendricks, Betty Comden, Adolph Green, Kitty Carlisle, Michael Tilson-Thomas, Seiji Ozawa, Larry Kert, Patti Austin, Bobby McFerrin, Midori, and Bernstein's kids and son in law performed. Beverly Sills hosted. Lauren Bacall sang a parody of Weill's Jenny, written by Stephen Sondheim. Christa Ludwig was adorable, singing I Am Easily Assimilated, dancing and playing the castanets. And I'm probably forgetting a few people. Most of it can be found on KZbin, in bits and pieces. When I teach my piano students about 7/8 meter, I show them the opening number, the first movement of the Chichester Psalms, and help them feel the beat. I also let them make fun of my 1980s hair when they spot me. 😁 Oh, and if they or any of their siblings play the drums, I point out the man whose name is probably on their drumsticks, Vic Firth.

The way Burt stands up at the end😅😅😅 boss azz shite son

🍀 Np one arranged the brass section the way that Burt Bacharach did. 🍀

I saw Elvis did this at Ryman Auditorium in Nashville in 1999. It was the last song of the show after 4 encores. It was unbelievable that he played total 39 songs and the show finished at 11:40 pm. The people waited to see Elvis for sign, photos, handshake and he literary did meet all people who lined up very nicely and friendly. It was probably 100 or more people. I couldn't believe how nice he was.

If you listen, how can one keep the tears from flowing........
