This song just so magically and definition of truly eternal of love. Extraordinary song by Kenny Rogers. RIP Kenny. 😢😥😘😍❤💙

Loved your reaction, the world needs to hear this everyday 🤗 i read recently that the guy that made his suit said that the red tie was to symbolize the blood of the men who had died in Vietnam, ✌️

SWEET INSPIRATIONS!

The Real Elvis.

I appreciate it that you listen to the whole song before reacting. Sometimes you don't get the same effect when it's broken up .Thanks guys.

Thank you for this Elvis video and great reaction! ❤

That's not Elvis in that picture behind you.

Jeg elsker deg means i love you

I have a theory about Elvis. I think God pulled a reverse psychology thing with him. Because of his charisma, sex appeal,, fast-moving hips, etc., EVERYONE was watching Elvis, trying to figure him out - and keep their daughters away from him. As the whole world began to collectively focus on THAT is when this anthem was released. This song was not like any other song Elvis ever did. He had a definite Gospel upbringing and believed in God. When the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, (among other giants of men in this country), it affected Elvis deeply because they were good friends. Elvis was supposed to sing a Christmas song at the end of this 1968 Comeback Tour but he wanted to honor Dr. King. He secretly had his manager arrange to either write the song or have someone else write it. The networks were not informed as they would not have allowed it. The song follows the theme of Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech. It’s powerful and perfect for the times of racial segregation. I saw a documentary about this song recently and Elvis & his team knew he was going to wear the white suit but weren’t sure what tie to wear with it. Elvis’ manager was driving and stopped by a store and bought this deep red tie - symbolic of those who died defending this country, including those who fought in the Civil Rights “War.” Elvis was against racism, in spite of growing up in the South. He was supposed to give this huge concert in Texas, I think. He and his background singers were going to drive into the stadium all sitting up high in a Cadillac convertible. When the organizers found out that one of his background singers was black, they weren’t going to allow it. Elvis said if they didn’t allow her to come, then he wasn’t coming either. They caved. I believe Elvis was part of The Plan for this country to make a needed course correction. This ballad Elvis sang was part of that. We still have a long way to go where race is concerned but it’s much better than it was. I lived through the Civil Rights Movement and observed a lot of the violence inflicted on blacks at that time. Believe it or not, television was new and still black and white. When I was 7 years old, my family moved to Tennessee so my dad could continue his education. Up until then, we had lived in Calif. where there were lots of races and my parents never “noticed” race so I was not raised to be prejudiced. But in Tennessee, which was part of the South, I witnessed separate drinking fountains for whites and blacks - as well as segregated swimming pools, etc. It made me furious, even though I was very young, because I knew it was wrong. If a 7 yr. old kid can get it, I don’t understand why there are still so many others who don’t.

Do you want to listen to a song that makes you feel that this is from my life, then listen to Elvis Presley (Make the world go away), I think that most people can relate to the lyrics...

He almost never had a suit on, bu he wore Jumpsuits (a karate GI with loads of jewels), he ended the 68 special with this song

Do you want to listen to a song that makes you feel that this is from my life, then listen to Elvis Presley (Make the world go away), I think that most people can relate to the lyrics...

1935 on January 8 a huge star was born, but sadly in 1977 on august 16 we lost a great musician, a amazing singer, but we also lost a amazing humanitarian that helped so many people that he did not even know. Today over 46 years after his death, people are still calling Elvis the King of Rock'n'Roll (he said that Chubby Checker was the one that should be called King of Rock'n roll, if any human should), Elvis didn't like that title and he believed that the only King was God and he actually told this to his fans several times, he said: I believe that God is the only true king, sometimes he added Jesus Christ. I think that Elvis is and only the king of Rock'n roll, he is the king of music because he can sing very well in any genre, but what do you think, is he good enough to be called a music king? Elvis was really in my mind, the King of GOSPEL and other music, no one does it better then him, he is best known for making Rock'n roll famous, so he was called The King of Rock'n roll, but he never liked that people called him that, he repeatedly stopped fans who said that he was the king of rock'n roll, telling them: I'm just an entertainer and singer, God is the only true King (sometimes he also said Jesus Christ is the only King)... He also never liked the "so called joke" Elvis the Pelvis, he loved Jokes, but that was for him very hurtful to hear people say, or write. Elvis was born in the poor part of Tupelo Mississippi (in a shotgun house) and it was mainly Afro Americans living there, at the place where Elvis family lived there only lived 3 more white families, the rest was colored people, his family was dirt poor until he became an artist after singing in a mainly colored peoples church during his childhood. Did you know that he had several friends that where Afro Americans, one of his friends where James Brown, yes THAT James Brown (The King of Soul), another artist was B.B King, yes that B.B King... He also was a good friend with Mohamed Ali, yes the GREATEST boxer of all time, he even had a Robe made for him, but it was to much bling on it so Ali wouldn't where it more then one time to a fight. He really admired Martin Luther King very much, Elvis felt that all people are equal, unfortunately he never got to meet him, that would have created to much problems for both of them at that time. He had several medical problems, Glaucoma, (Insomnia) sleeping problems, irritable bowel syndrome, things that affected his real life and made him need medication to function. Yes, he took medicines that today are considered to be called drugs, but at that time doctors prescribed it to him and to ordinary people, they did not know of the problems it could give people (side effects). He never took any so-called street drugs, but unfortunately he did not realize that those medications would be a problem for him, he thought that they where ordinary medicine because his doctor prescribed them to him and to everyone else that needed it. Many out of his relatives died at a relatively young age, so even if he wouldn't have the medication, he might have died at about the same age. He could never be alone and thus himself, at that time the word superstar did not exist, so nothing could prepare him for that kind of life. Did you know that a big group of white people actually smashed his records and wanted to ban his music, just because they called the music he did so called N... music, that is so painful to think that some people actually can think like that, skin color is just color and nothing more, when will people start to realize that? There are some videos of when Elvis joking and messing up, he loved to joke around and pretend that he did not have control, but he had total control, he actually conducted his musicians and back up choirs all the time ! He is the only person to have 2 records gone to sell Gold and 2 to to sell Platinum since he died. Elvis is also in almost every genre of Music Hall of Fame (5 that I'm sure of Rock 'n' Roll, Country, Gospel, Rockabilly and Rhythm and Blues), if Gospel is a genre in Music Hall of fame, then he should be in there to, but no one else is in more then perhaps 2 genres. Not bad for someone who never took a single singing lesson, yes he sang in church so perhaps he learned a little there, right? Something else that people tend to overlook: He always conducts his musicians and backup singers, he never gets credit for being able to doing that. Imagen you are a singer, you have great Musicians, you have great backup singers, no Guest Artists, no Auto tune, no Lip singing and no Fireworks, now all is about your skill, could you handle that pressure? At the time when Elvis started to perform, Auto tune did not exist yet and when it became available, then he still did not use it, he did not need to, he always sang so that you could hear every word that he sang, the Fans always felt that he sang to just you ! That is what Elvis did in over 1600 concerts (during his 20 years as an artist), despite having problems with his health, like his Glaucoma, the headlights must have hurt his eyes like crazy. He sang over 800 songs, I wonder how he could remember them all, he never wrote a song himself, so he had to remember other peoples lyrics, well that is amazing in it self. By the way he had Glaucoma and that must have been difficult being in the headlights all the time, that could be why he sometimes closes his eyes, but also sometimes squinting! This unfortunately made him temporary blind after the shows, that is why they led him of the stage and into his car, that is something that not many people knew about Elvis. Elvis suits was made of 100% Polyester, or 100 cotton (I'm not sure witch one), it was originally a karate suit, it was very light, but it was hot, so it made him sweat a lot, he got some bad press about that, but if you give it all then you will sweat, it should be positive, right? About the deep base voiced JD Sumner (a member of The Stamps Quartet) he is a Basso Profundo, I think it's called that, it is the deepest base singer there is. A video about him helping others, look at this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaOtYpZvqdJgeZI Elvis made a show where all the money went to build the Memorial after Pearl Harbor, he talked to the nations about taking the Polio vaccine, Elvis took the first injection himself, he helped by donating a big amount of money to St Jude hospital, they fight against cancer (especially children with), he gave away loads of jewelry, gave away cars, he even gave away some houses to total strangers. Elvis started an organization that helps people to get out of Homelessness (Presley Charitable Foundation), this organization helps people even now close to 50 years after he passed away. A thing that you perhaps did not know: Elvis ALMOST NEVER did a show OUTSIDE OF USA, yes he did sing a few times in Canada: 4 concerts, 2 times in Toronto, 1 time in Ottawa and 1 time in Vancouver (during the 50:s?). When the Aloha From Hawaii (Live in Honolulu 1973) was showed it had close to 1.5 Billion viewers from around the whole world and 3.7 billion people lived on earth at this time, so it was close to 1/3 of all of the population on the earth that viewed the show, it was the first time a single artist was shown LIVE around the globe. Video of Mohammad Ali speech after Elvis died: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoCbfKSVaLCHr6s I have to say that I loved being at Graceland and seeing his home, first we were at the shotgun house in Tupelo Mississippi where he lived in his early years, he was born there ! You don't have a guide taking you on a tour, you can go all over yourself, but stay outside of the ropes and do not attempt to go upstairs, the outside is huge, so is the house, but you don't realize that from the front of the house. I don't regret for a second that I was there, or that I stood at his grave site and said out loud that this is for the humanitarian Elvis/the person/the man and then I gave him a military salute, the others there just looked at me and asked if I didn't like his music. So I told them that he was clearly one of the best singers and artists ever, but I loved his big heart more, he helped so many people without getting credit for it, he didn't want the credit of helping others, he did it out of love and respect and to me that is what true charity is all about. This PLACE (GRACELAND) should be a protected part of music history and also American history forever, I think that people will keep coming for years and years and years to come ! Elvis did lots of things for America to, he helped in a big way to avoid getting Polio (he took the vaccine in a TV show and that made the interest for taking the vaccine to go up from 0,6 % all the way up to 80 % in 6 months), so in 6 months he got 79.4 % more of the American people take the Polio vaccine and shortly after it was eradicated from USA, he also helped in the fight to defeat Cancer by helping to build up St Jude's children cancer treatment clinic by donating a huge amount of money to them, he also helped to build the Memorial over Pearl Harbor and many other things!

Mattie are you still doing videos

Ginger was still with him when he passed away. She was in fact the person that found him when he died. This concert was about 2 months before his death. He never lost his amazing voice even when he was so ill.. Rest Peacefully Elvis

That voice was J.D. Sumner from The Stamps quartet, they were part of Elvis's back up singers. Elvis admired and loved J.D and loved his deep vocals. There is another beautiful song that also gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it, and I've listed to it many times. When you watch Elvis during it you can see the love and respect he has for The Stamps and J.D and you can also see his love of God as well. Its called Sweet Sweet Spirit .. I hope you give it a listen and I'd bet it will become a favorite of yours as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/imLKZqeMfL-bnM0si=_q28piVgFYKasgvd

Santo is playing a Fender steel guitar and his younger brother, Johnny, is playing a traditional guitar. This song, "Sleepwalk", became a Number 1 hit instrumental back in 1959.

He was a good performer yeah 🤘😎👍🎸🥁🎤

Elvis always the best

This feels like a gospel song. Elvis loved gospel. He talent surely was a gift from God. Love Elvis forever, miss him. I don't believe he ever wrote a song, but he sure could sing anything.

You have just witnessed a devastated Elvis singing out his soul to honor his assassinated friends, Dr. Martin Luther King, and Senator Bobby Kennedy who was also a fierce fighter for human rights and equality. Watch the video "Elvis Presley and the Black Community" and that will give you an good idea of how Elvis fought his heart out for the innocent downtrodden.. He grew up dirt poor and hung out with African Americans who loved him as much as he loved them. He was a force for good, and it hurts to see him called a racist. He was a courageous fighter all of this life. I love that man.

When he was about 9 he gave his comic books to a black friend that didn't have any books.

He's the top 5 celebrity's of all time for giving.

I watched the movie on Netflix, primarily due to Tom Hanks, and promptly fell in love with it. I’ve watched it 6 times now, and cry like a baby at the end each time. Been going down the Elvis rabbit hole ever since. I’ve never bought a movie before but I’m buying this one.

I think Unc is right Mattie- there’s a lot of people watching that don’t know what a 45 is…and yeah, we were always losing that Superman symbol insert for the 45’s on the turntable 🤣

No one beats Elvis' voice 😊

Titanic! Not frozen

Amazing gift God lend to us, Thank you.❤🎉😢

Great song and great assessment / reaction. Fun channel, glad I found it. By the way, you've got your peace signs backwards. Those are victory signs. Turn them around and they're peace signs. Lol

Steel guitar

Mazing ❤❤❤❤elvis presley❤

Unc matt

There is another really amazing one that shows the outfits that mj copied from Elvis. Yet he was actually mean about Elvis, even saying a racist comment about Elvis only being called the king because he was white. Yet look how much MJ must have obsessed with Elvis to get his moves, settings, poses and outfits. And then he pulls him down? Odd. MJ had some odd things going on mentally though. Great entertainer in many ways but definitely had some strong covert narcissism going on.

Good for you folks , after watching couples watch it , I was rather dismayed that they were unable to look at each other and give each other some affection , that's how you know you made it . Congratulations on you .

📽️📸🎵👌📸

Wow beautiful song for MM, awesome video yeah 👍😎🤘👏

Awesome cool song, great video, women love him around the world 🌎🌍🎤📽️

I have already found your channel and am watching your videos about Elvis. Love it. When elvis was out he saw two black girls, a mother and her daughter standing and looking at cars (Cadillacs) Elvis went up to them and asked her which car she thought was nice. He went in and took the car key from the dealer and bought the car for this woman. There is a story about this.🙂

I don’t think people understand how much POWER and ENERGY it takes to have a STANDING OVATION during the middle of the performance as if it was the end of the performance. Beyond this realm. 👸🏾 ❤ 🕊️

Yes this was a follow up The Twist was the original. Debuted in 1960 on American Bandstand

My favorite

January 22. Just ran into your video! I am so happy that the two of you enjoyed Elvis’s “Santa Clause is back in town”! It is an old time favorite for myself! But is sure is great to see someone new enjoying it! And your comments were off the wall great, much respect given to the one and only Elvis Presley!! ⚡️TCB⚡️

Elvis is so Cool !!

Awesome

Scotty Moore was there, the guy that played lead guitar on the original Sun record in 1954.

I'm 68 so I grew up in the 60s and 70s... And I grew up with the original version of this song by Joe South... But I am a die-hard Elvis fan😊❤

Stuck on you and trying to get to you are two more good ones...😊

He had a wonderful band behind him... I loved this...❤

Play the original song crazy by Patsy Cline and then listen to it by LeAnn Rimes

There is an interview I don't know who with but it's Rufus Thomas explaining that music does not originate from Black or white.. music is for everyone.
