I love this Elvis performance ❤ I love all of his.

MASTERCLASS in how to transfer EMOTIONS 🥺

Rene, if you want build up yo have to watch/listen to 'What Now My Love" (Aloha rehearsal'73)

Goed gedaan René......letting the world known that he didn't use drugs for fun💯.... he needed them & in that time there weren't that many alternatieves. Well done👍

Elvis Presley❤ everynote he sings. I love every move he makes, ❤ sooo handsome. The man was blessed with it all.

Rene, it's the most powerful and important message from any other artist, this is the one song that The world needs to hear from radio channels and TV commercials on a daily basis in my opinion , History was made. Thanks for the great reaction to Elvis. TCB 1935

Best live performance ever recorded! 🥂

This performance grabs my soul doesnt matter how many times ive heard it. The gritty sound from his voice and his expressions you know this is from every part of him. He should have won an award for this song. Take care Rene

You are spot on❤

Elvis was like a iPhone 16 in 1956😉

All I van say is A Masterpiece in passion❤❤

TCB TLC ⚡👑

The greatest entertainer and singer ever, and the most handsome man ever

I could watch this all the time

Amazing reaction. Love love love it 💕💕💕💕

Great reaction, Rene, thanks!

To me, this is one of the most powerful performances in history. There's also a live version of Bridge Over Troubled Water that he did in Las Vegas that will blow you away. His voice was so powerful. He was and is simply the best entertainer ever.

This is amazing. I just love Anita. She really loved Elvis and he would have been so much better off with her. Thanks Rene.

Thank you for this Rene. You are doing a great job getting the truth out there. Great job.

Let the song play some people can hear it then you can talk😂❤😂😂😂

That was amazing!! Elvis always sings with much emotion!! He is a master of lyrics!! React to an early song from the 50's Blue Moon- very haunting and besutiful song by young Elvis

Elvis Presley is unsurpassed as an artist and as a human being.

Also written for Kennedy after he was assassinated, and in honor of all our men in Vietnam at that time. Beautiful!!❤

I saw recently where Quincy Jones passed and the article stated he said Elvis was a racist.. This false information should be addressed by someone....It's devastating to Elvis .....😢....The news media is actually printing these articles...We all know Elvis wasn't a racist but people who don't know or easily to assume what is printed is true... Someone needs to seriously address this issue...I personally believe people say these things out of true jealousy.... Elvis would be devastated 😭 💔

I like to listen to this every day, for a big dose of hope - and profound admiration for Elvis' dedication to doing his very best to make the world better.

This song and performance was in honor of Martin Luther King.

Majestic performance ❤ Thanks

Rene my daughter loves this song she sings it brilliant specially when she is drunk lol

You should listen to more of the songs of which there are many gems from Elvis' films,Harum Scarum has So near yet so far,brilliant song brilliant voice,even though the film was trashed years ago,personally I love all his films ❤ Love EAP ❤️

First time I've heard this, fantastic

Very, very sad 😔 thank you

Brilliant Report Rene ! It's about time someone investigated the reasons for Elvis's medications . Thank you and thank you to Louis of the Defending Elvis Presley channel for inspiring you to make this brilliant report .

How delightful. I love Anita's voice and laughter.

I am a nurse and i worked in a pain management office for 10 years, and I don’t think we need to take an either/or view of Elvis but a both/and. Elvis had severe health problems, he sought the help of doctors and medical professionals, he received very strong medications(all they had available at the time), and he was physically dependent on them. Both his real health problems and the cycle of taking drugs that caused dependency, and the need for higher doses for the same effect the longer you were on them, caused Elvis to have a continual cycle of hyperanalgesia which requires then tapering off all meds and resetting your central nervous system-today we do this with a ketamine infusion. Dr Nick was just at the cusp of understanding pain management. At the time, we didn’t offer epidural steroid injections for back pain, massages, physical therapy, or intense pain management programs. I think Elvis spiraled and did get more meds from other doctors when he experienced the hyper-analgesia which is unavoidable when on long term pain meds but not understood at the time. There is a difference in the medical work of physical dependency and “addiction”, or psychological dependency where you take meds not for their pain relief but for the feeling of euphoria. Elvis may have experienced both--chronic pain is a VERY difficult and complex physical health problem to treat and often has elements of mental and spiritual health mixed in with it. People do best if they also receive counseling while dealing with their chronic pain-Elvis did not receive this important element of therapy. I believe they also found that he had hyper-gammaglobulemia which is an autoimmune disease and would have caused him to be susceptible to infection, as well. He was a man-like all of us-with strengths and weaknesses. And according to Dr. Nick he needed a colon resection but that was cutting edge at the time and might have required a colostomy-not sure Elvis would have gone for that🤷‍♀️. The point is, he was a man with an extraordinary gift that has blessed us all--and we can continue to enjoy the gift he was, while recognizing he was a man who had strength ma and weaknesses managing a life that no one had experienced up to that time and some things he managed well, and some he didn’t, but we can discuss him with the respect and understanding we would all want if it were us.

It is very sad that he had so many serious health problems and struggled trying to manage his pain and still function. Bless him.

Thank you for this information it makes me cry to think about the condition. He had not many people would be able to stand it, but he did that show how strong he was. He was such a beautiful and amazing good hearted man that made us all happy we listen to him. I wish he had been happy. I didn’t have to suffer so much. He was so beautiful in so many ways. I will always love him no matter what.

His cousin Billy Smith spent the day with him playing racquetball and then he sung 2 songs, Blue eyes crying in the rain and unchained melody before he went up to talk to him for a while. He was worried about his tour, and he wanted to make sure it was good for all of us fans Then he went to bed

Good information with one addition. Elvis had congenital acute insomnia. He couldn't sleep more than 5 hours a night. He stayed awake 72 hours when dr. Nick tried to get Elvis off his sleep medication. Maybe today he could have been helped with sleep therapy. Elvis was a very sensitive person, who was easily upset and worried a lot. I personally think Elvis had so much stress (=cortisol) in the last years of his life that he developed Cushings syndrome which causes bellyfat, bloated face, weak muscles (heart!) etc. He must also have had infections throughout his body due to the 19 kg of calcified stool he had in his colon when he died; a congenital problem inherited from the Presley-family. Why was Elvis so stressed? Maybe because of Priscilla's incessant financial claims and the $500.000,- she claimed in 1975? The lien Priscilla put on Graceland in April 1977? Elvis Presley was also very stressed by the publication of the tell-all book of Red & Sonny West and Dave Hebler which came out ten days before Elvis' death. Elvis must have been very worried about the reactions of his fans and the general public. That was probably the reason he couldn't sleep the night/morning before the start of his new tour.

Elvis had alpha 1 which is auto immune attacks the lungs heart liver kidneys stomach intestines cause pain constipation and insomnia.... Elvis had emphysema diabetes. He's organs were twice the normal size ... Poor baby....😢 He was suffering 😢....Taking care of them leeches...But who took care of Elvis....😭...No more suffering...🥲❤️💔🕊️😇

Thank you for sharing this.

He suffered a lot. Thank you.

We never would have had to have that discussion if it wasn't for Red, Sonny and Hebler getting mad at Elvis and writing the book that turned the public against him. Funny how their perception of him changed over the years. I have just re-read the book 'Elvis what happened' and after watching all the talk shows and documentaries they have done over the years praising him with tears streaming down their cheeks, their meanness completely blew my mind! A large part of the medicine that Elvis surrounded himself with was not for himself, but the travel pharmacy he had with him, so that he was at all times able to treat the things that might arise, both with himself and the many people he was responsible for. I'm sure there was also medicine such as regular painkillers and antibiotics, plasters etc. in the bag, but it wasn't interesting! In this connection, it is interesting that Elvis did not have his medication with him. The night before he died, as far as I remember, it was his stepbrother Stanley who came up with the measured medicine for the night, both when Elvis went to bed and later, when he needed more, to be able to calm down. If Elvis was what we understand by an 'addict' he would not have left it to others to handle his medication! There is no doubt that he was dependent on the medication he was given, because that is the case with several of the preparations Elvis had to take in order to be able to go on stage at all. Of course the consumption has increased over time, as the effect wears off over time, but Elvis would not have been able to go on stage without it, and there were a lot of people who depended on a pay check, so he didn't feel he had a choice!

I doubt Elvis took all those medications at the same time. He read the Physicians Desk Reference so he was well versed about medications. Dr Tennant is an amazing pain specialist, I'm on his Facebook page. I'm going to see if I can talk with him or another family member. Elvis suffered greatly and along with what has been mentioned I believe he had bone cancer, which is the most painful cancer one can have. He wanted to perform as long as he could, only 3 people, besides his Dr's and nurse knew about his medical condition. Maybe some will come forward now that it's become public knowledge. Maybe because of social media people are getting the real story because it's been said years ago.

Yes, an apologistic point of view. It’s been well known for over 50 years that Elvis wasn’t only a medical addict, he abused many of his prescriptions for years and this is the truth that many fans still do not want to admit or address.

Brilliant rene thank you for looking out elvis medical condition ❤

Ein interessanter Bericht aber bei diesen speziellen Themen wären Untertitel(in Deutsch) sehr hilfreich gewesen. Nicht jeder spricht perfekt Englisch.

Renee read the strange medical saga of EP and also get the book the death of Elvis what really happened by Charles C Thompson, the second and James P Cole

Love it well done - great job

Grazie grazie Renee per questo video! Finalmente si parla anche della salute di Elvis che non era affatto buona anzi....complicatissima. lui soffriva sin da giovane di alcuni problemi (insonnia, stitichezza, infezioni e febbre frequenti). Negli anni e con i ritmi della sua carriera, tutto ciò è peggiorato e sono aumentati i problemi con organi quali fegato, cuore. polmoni . Si capisce così, che Elvis d o v e v a assumere farmaci per cercare di sopravvivere.😢😢 il matrimonio dei nonni materni, cugini fra loro, pare abbia dato origine a malattie genetiche. Morti premature come Gladys stessa, hanno caratterizzato il lato della famiglia Love Smith. Elvis era dipendente certo, dai farmaci che lo aiutavano (e per altri versi lo annientavano) a stare in vita. Grazie ancora e saluti

Very informative, thanks
