You never heard of BB King, mate he was the King of the blues, a brilliant perfomer!!

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

Thank you!

[@mljones655]

Oh my goodness! BB King is a Blues artist. The Thrill is Gone. Among others.

[@Dorakaz1]

Now you have to do Elvis's version of Sweet Caroline, in Las Vegas in 70, live.

[@christophertyler3425]

BB King was the greatest blues guitarist ever and a great friend and lover of Elvis Presley!!!

[@Phoenix7878]

Elvis appealed and still appeals to all ages, not just from his era. He's timeless. If the REAL Elvis and his legacy was exposed properly to reach today's generation, his following would increase dramatically. He's just on another level...facts.

[@stever1791]

So True - Great Comment

[@JamesJXicano]

teach the children

[@susancrouthamel760]

He was born 1941 n I think he is still alive. Yes Elvis loved Neil's song Sweet Caroline n sang it in Vagas.i have listened to Elvis since 1956n got to his Aloha concert that was broadcasted around the world and seen by 1.5 Billion I sat 3rd row center.i never met Elvis but was friends with Charlie Hodge his confidant and best friend for years after Elvis died n have a whole journal of the stories he told me. Bridge Over Troubled Water Vagus 1970 was Simon n Garfunkel song n Simon loved Elvis version. Check that out. Righteous Brothers sang "I've lost that loving feeling" n Elvis sang their song Bill n Bobby liked how he arranged the song.

[@ppresley9208]

Hopefully the new movie about Elvis will show the two sides of his personality ... off stage he was a quiet , gentle man , generous to a fault (although he did have a temper) ... on stage , when he was ELVIS , he was the dynamic icon and performer we loved . As he said in the New York interview , it's hard to live up to an image ... and eventually that effort led to all his problems . A very complex but amazing man who is simply timeless !!!

[@colmflaherty3963]

I've never heard Neil Diamond speak about Elvis before, it was very nice everything he said. Have you heard Elvis's version of Sweet Caroline? He does it live some good hand movements and especially how he ends the song.

[@jrc8640]

The whole song is on another level not just the end..

[@stever1791]

Elvis sings it better than Neil - and I like Neil version

[@holmes1978]

Listen to Elvis sing it , he owns it !

[@westsidesmitty1]

B.B was a KING of the blues. Awesome music, like The Thrill is Gone. Neil Diamond was a great song writer who became a major singer and performer. As for Mr. Presley, he needs no intro.! You did a great job. The connection of Elvis and B.B. King (the B.B. stood for Beale Street Blues)- so Elvis and B.B. were both living in Memphis. BB was King on Beale Street and Elvis went down to Beale Street to buy cool clothes and hear the Black artists making Blues on Beale Street. Latter, Elvis helped break down the BS ''segregation rules'' were Black and white folks weren't supposed to show up on the same night in certain clubs. Elvis, by '56 was so big that he could break the rules and show up on ANY night ne wanted to. This then ''opened the door'' to other folks ignoring these ridiculous rules. Thanks for letting the old school guys like B.B. tell their story. B.B. wrote the book on those single string, blues solos with the killer hand vibrato.

[@lextek.]

Fun fact that most people don't know, but Neil Diamond revealed the the song Sweet Caroline was about Caroline Kennedy. The song was released in 1969 but he revealed at last in 2011 that the daughter of John F, Kennedy was the songs inspiration after seeing a magazine cover photo of Caroline as a young child on a horse with he rparents.

[@lindapowers8592]

He’s also an actor. Several movies. One of my favorite movies ever is The Jazz Singer.

[@westsidesmitty1]

Yes! Loved that movie. So many great Diamond songs- they fill a two CD set, easily.

[@johnbattles1002]

KeeSeeY, I read a biography of Elvis years ago in which Sam Phillips (owner of Sun Studios in Memphis) was quoted as saying, "If I could ever find a white singer who sounds like a black singer, I would make a million bucks." Reportedly, shortly after saying that, his dream came true when Elvis walked into his studio one day (1954?) and made a $4.00 demo record of "That's Alright, Mama"! When that song eventually got out over the radio air waves, well........... The rest is history!

[@toodlescae]

It's so heartwarming to see you get so hyped about great musicians snd performers that I grew up listening to in the 60's and 70's. 😁

[@peterramsay4674]

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll look him up and give him a listen. Music is always changing. It’s good to try different bands and artists see what they got. There’s plenty of talent in every type of music. Elvis was as big as it gets in his time. He dominated the airways from mid fifties to mid sixties when the Beatles took over everybody. Plus he did movies. Don’t put down todays music. There’s probably tons of good stuff out there. It’s just different. One day it will all change again. All you got to do is enjoy it.

[@kathifielder1110]

Your reactions are so exciting!! I've watched many interviews with Elvis' family, friends, co-workers, fans, etc. Of all the people he came into contact with in his life, I've never heard anyone say a bad word about him. Of course, he wasn't perfect; but his kindness and consideration toward everyone seemed to far outweigh his downfalls.

[@petermartinijr.1012]

Yes, Neil Diamond is still alive, as of July 05, 2022. I do not know him, but I have 2 friends who know him and they say what a nice guy he is.

[@jeanjennings2290]

B.b was one of the greatest guitarist ever.

[@lynneclarke4866]

Yes now you need so see Elvis version of sweet Caroline live 1970..for sure

[@Lola-co8jg]

Let more people know more about Elvis, thanks

[@lorisutton5267]

Hey sweetheart, I just can't get over your upbeat attitude over Elvis, listen to him singing Sweet Caroline, and I bet you will like it better. Keep it up. TCb 1935🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡

[@jennysmith5649]

BB King was a huge blues artist

[@dianahead8592]

Elvis covered Neil Diamond'a song, "Sweet Caroline".

[@michele6740]

You’re so funny and your Neil Diamond moment. 😂

[@carolirvine7663]

To say Elvis Presley had a nice voice is like saying an ice cube is cool - Elvis Presley was a baritone whose voice had an extraordinary compass - the so-called register - and a very wide range. It covered two octaves and a third, from the baritone low-G to the tenor high B, with an upward extension in falsetto to at least a D flat. - Remember this was before audio voice correction - Today with all the electronic devices we are not even sure if we are actually hearing an artist's true voice - Listen to The Righteous Brothers from the 60's - Pure voices

[@JAYJason6666]

Elvis was painfully shy.... Everyone who met him all said they were surprised at how shy a person he was...

[@laurawilloughby4000]

He wasn't shy onstage! Everywhere he was.

[@pacerusa449]

Nice Presentation 🎤👍

[@MrAlanfalk73]

If you want to see how generous Elvis was try looking up these 2 documentaries about Elvis; "Elvis a generous heart" and "200 Caddilacs" . Elvis gave cars, moterbikes, clotes, houses, money and juwelry away to freinds, family and strangers. He was such a good person !!!

[@unity1016]

I love Neil Diamond. How about Coming to America from the movie The Jazz Singer.

[@JonBurrows3577]

Post Malone is a big Elvis fan, he did amazing in a tribute to Elvis’ 1968 special a few years back. You could tell he was really a fan of the music, and a few others on the program were there to try to get more notoriety.

[@cyrusparsa1724]

The only place Elvis was not shy was on the stage. Otherwise he was very down to earth and humble.

[@aletmartins6940]

Neil D is still alive, but not touring due to health issues. He’s a great singer songwriter.

[@jayviviano109]

Post Malone an admitted Elvis fan! 😁 just throwing it out there since you mentioned Post. He's on the Elvis peace-train. BB KING is 20th century music royalty. If you started digging around Googling a little about him you'll see he's one of the most admired & respected Blues icons of multiple generations. 500 years from now when PopCulture music historians are talking about twentieth-century, BB King's name will always be on the list of greats remembered. Check out song called "Thrill Is Gone" from BB. Or maybe even do reaction to it. One of his biggest best-known hits. Great reaction

[@richr2716]

Elvis introduced all artists in his stands you should hear his intro of Jackson 5 they were just starting

[@westsidesmitty1]

Yes. Elvis introduced a very young Lisa Marie to M.J. backstage at one of Elvis' Vegas shows.

[@thomaspgreen6302]

Chuck Berry invited Elvis on stage with him on his 72 Vegas Lounge show. Instead Elvis sang and danced in the aisle with Sammy Davis Jnr. I get it now. With Elvis it wasn't his TCB band, they probably wouldn't know how to do Elvis's change ups. Plus Colonel Parker would go crazy and give them a bill for Elvis to be on stage. I could be wrong. At the 56 WDIA Goodwill Revue Elvis thanked BB King "Thanks man for all of those early lessons you gave me." (Tri state Defender)

[@johnmedina3738]

BB king sang thrill was gone

[@maclovia9727]

At least your trying to learn about the legends 😊

[@aggiemom4894]

Your reactions are great! Btw I'm 53 and love Post Malone I think he's awesome and so does my 5 year old grandson who first heard his music from a Spider Man soundtrack 😊

[@sandralybrand9407]

You have to hear Elvis version of Sweet Caroline you will be blown away!

[@kennethmohamed2897]

One of the best guitarist of all time 👍bro!

[@christineoneal666]

Elvis was one of Post Malone's musical influences

[@samarasuchanek8923]

Yes Neil is still alive in 2023

[@MrRizzo1961]

You got to do song reactions to both Neal diamond and B.B. King they are both Classic singer,performers. B.B. King can make his electric guitar called Lucille scream.✌️❤️

[@jrc8640]

Neil diamonds voice is MUNDANE ... ELVIS' version of sweet Caroline is far more SUPERIOR ... like always ... why because he is the GREATEST VOCALIST EVER.

[@l.t.6180]

How objective! An Elvis fan, I suppose? Neil Diamond possesses one of music’s most defining and instantly recognisable voices, his smooth rich vocal delivery bringing to life his many famous songs. He's not the greatest singer but he sings great. There's a truth and sincerity in his voice not heard in many singers. But you must be willing to really listen in order to understand. At least Elvis respected Neil more than you do, by covering some of his songs. Oh and by the way, Neil Diamond writes his own songs.

[@valeriekitover7363]

Elvis was the Coolest Cat…Is still the the Coolest Cat….May you be lucky enough to have his Swagger….Massive generosity to people….His Originality….His love for His Mother….Bought her a Pink Caddy….His love and knowledge of Gospel Music….Have a Boulevard…named after you….And Rock…I mean Rock a Stage where the girls went Ballistic…Elvis Presley….Not just for Grandma and Grandpa….Thanks for doing “The King”

[@jennysmith5649]

Neil Diamond is still alive

[@elvistcb3521]

Don't forget to check out Jackie Wilson 👌

[@mikegreene8461]

He is not "a" guitarist, he is "the" Guitarist!!!

[@rawschri]

Just a very minor historical point, BB King was incorrect in saying that Sam Phillips, owner of Sun Records and Dewey Phillips the WHBQ disc jockey were related, they weren't ...

[@Seanryan2001]

It was a very long time ago and he may have just assumed they were brothers.

[@johnbrubaker6833]

Elvis sings sweet Caroline....react to it.

[@jrdlabs]

Neil Diamond is alive and semi retired.He recently sold the rights to his vast music catalog for hundreds of millions $$. he is 81 years old!

[@donnaselfon2969]

There's a great video of Mac Davis talking about the Elvis song that he wrote In The Ghetto and what the Elvis hit did for him..please check that out..Thanks ✌

[@ernestkerley3404]

I'm a big Niel Diamond fan and I like to request a song by N.D. the song is FOREVER BLUEJEANS .

[@diandiaz9026]

A lot of performers are very shy but when they get on stage something happens and that other person only takes over and they just do it

[@seamuslannon6972]

Listen to Elvis sing Sweet Caroline come on son!!

[@nativepapi6818]

Good reaction, check out remembering Elvis , it has a pic of Sammy Davis Jr on it.

[@MrAlanfalk73]

[@tonyarenee531]

I TOTALLY AGREE ABOUT POSTMALONE!! I LOVE HIS MUSIC!!! AND HE'S TEXAN LOL!! BUT BACK TO ELVIS! WHEN HE WAS WITH SUN RECORDS HE WOULD TRAVEL TO HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUMS TO PROMOTE HIS MUSIC HE WAS LIKE 19 OR 20 IN 55 WHEN HE WAS DOING THAT AND IN MY AREA HE PERFORMED 6 TIMES AT OUR MAIN AUDITORIUM SO DID JOHNNY CASH AND OTHERS * TEXARKANA * AT OUR AUDITORIUM ITS LIKE A MINI MUSEUM PEOPLE COME TO THAT HEARS ABOUT IT... WHERE YOU GET A TOUR! ANYWAY HE TOURED ALL OVER NORTH EAST TEXAS SOUTH WEST ARK AND "THE LOUISIANA HAYRIDE" WHICH MY TOWN BORDERS ARK TEXAS AND LA BUT HE AND SCOTTY WOULD HAVE TO SLEEP IN THE BACK OF THE CAR .. ELVIS AND SCOTTY HAD A BAD ACCIDENT IN THE AREA AND ELVIS'S CADILLAC BURNT OF COURSE HE WAS NOT HARMED AND ELVIS WAS LATE TO THE PERFORMANCE AND WAS IN HIS STREET CLOTHES AND STILL PERFORMED HE WAS PARTICULAR ABOUT HOW HE DRESSED EVEN THEN .... LONG LONG STORY FROM MY GRANDMOTHER AND OTHER ELDERS FROM MY TOWN AND MANY WEBSITES FROM MY AREA ETC.... PICTURES OF ELVIS ON THE WEBSITES OF HIM PERFORMING ETC ... SO MANY ELDERS TALKING ABOUT ELVIS AND HOW HE WAS SO TIRED AND CRASHED AT FAMILY HOMES AND ATE AT THEIR HOMES ETC SO INTERESTING 💞💞

[@aletmartins6940]

You should watch the interview between Baz (director of new Elvis movie) and Sam Bell (or Hill?). Sam was a childhood friend of Elvis in Tupelo. Very interesting, down to earth and fun.

[@shannonwhite3721]

Diversity is a beautiful healthy thing ❤️

[@odellgrimes1375]

Sammy Davis! Jr. (ELVIS!! on a scale of 1-10 he's an 11 babe!) LOL

[@wallflowerj6013]

Have you seen post sing Elvis’ if I can dream?

[@ruthanncrandall3978]

Check out the Righteous Bros. People thought they were black.

[@rlopez2527]

You've Covered ELVIS Really Well, but I don't see among the songs the "IF I COULD DREAM" Song from the "68 Come Back Special....check it out

[@kathifielder1110]

Neil Diamond is 81 years old. He retired from touring four years ago due to Parkinson's disease. If you Google CELEBRITY NET WORTH on KZbin and search Neil Diamond you can read his interesting life story. He wrote a ton of songs including these three that I'm requesting for your reactions: (1) Neil Diamond - Solitary Man (Live-1971) (HD) (4:16); (2) Neil Diamond's America (5:14) (this is a live performance); (3) Neil Diamond "Sweet Caroline" on The Ed Sullivan Show (3:04). This is Elvis' version: (4) Elvis- Sweet Caroline (THE HIGHEST audio quality) HD (2:43).

[@billwince7907]

Neil Diamond wrote I'm a believer and a lot of songs you may not know

[@moekontze116]

React to his song His hand in mine. beautiful song.

[@edwarddavis6827]

Hmmm ok. You should review Neil Diamond. Maybe do Holly Holy (1971 live BBC). He wrote and sung many massive hits “Girl You’ll be a Woman Soon” “I am I Said”. “Brother Loves Travelling Salvation Show (film - Once upon a time in Hollywood). “Love on the Rocks” “Hello Again”

[@westsidesmitty1]

I Am I Said still tears me up (even though I have no idea what it means).

[@TheSpitmitt]

Here is a kick ass Neil Diamond song kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2bZkmSflrGdaK8

[@depper]

Different era. If Elvis had lived into the 1980s, you would DEFINITELY have seen more famous people jump on stage. WITHOUT QUESTION. Could you imagine collaborations with Michael & Janet Jackson, Prince, Whitney Houston (Her mom Cissy sang with Elvis), Freddie Mercury, Bruce Springsteen, Tina Turner, Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder, Run DMC, Billy Ocean, Madonna !? They were all big fans of Elvis.

[@kathifielder1110]

I think Elvis would have loved to collaborate and perform with other stars of the day, but I'm guessing his manager wouldn't have allowed it. The way he was with his band and back-up singers shows how much he enjoyed working with them and he wasn't an "it's all about me" kind of guy.

[@depper]

@@kathifielder1110 I believe you are right Kathi. I believe that Parker would have to be fired to see an Elvis World Tour AND collaborations between artists in the studio and on stage. Elvis was getting closer and closer to firing Parker. I believe before 1980, Parker would have been fired. We may have seen one or two dramatic roles and a series of World Tours. The Vegas engagements would have dropped significantly and more stadium venues. We would have seen Elvis play famous venues like opera houses with perfect sound. Carnegie Hall, places like that.

[@kathifielder1110]

@@depper It's sad that he didn't get a new manager in the '60s when he saw the direction the movies were taking. But I think he felt a strong loyalty to the Colonel because of what he had done for him early on in his career. It's easy for us, with 20/20 hindsight, to say what he should have done; but like his song says "walk a mile in my shoes". I don't think anyone ever tried to walk a mile in Elvis' shoes. I've heard people say he loved being "Elvis Presley" so we can only hope he had more happy times than sad ones.

[@depper]

@@kathifielder1110 I think for the bulk of the 70s, he was only happy onstage. Or at the very least HAPPIEST onstage. Lisa Marie was his pride and joy. And he was happier with Priscilla after they divorced. But I think that Priscilla was who he really wanted in the end.

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

You have to remember this is in the 50's! Segregation was still a thing! Elvis singing or moving like a black person was scandalous! His songs were on the radio..so people hadn't seen him yet! They didn't expect to see a white man that sang like that! lol

[@samwilson6033]

[@MarkRogersVOCFB]

I respect Neil Diamond, but I only like a couple of his songs. I can't stand most of his music. You actually should see Elvis perform Sweet Caroline. Blows Diamond away.

[@lorenzotalmidiymofyahusha8981]

Stop with all of the Democrat Party racism and go forward. The world is your oyster after that.

[@odellgrimes1375]

Shame on you bro! LOL. You never herd of BB KING! Come on man. Well better late then never. The generations that followed after the 60s 70s don't know what they have missed i grew up in the early 70s and with everything els, sports, movie's, hollywood..the golden era of everything! Is gone every body 45 year's or older will say the same thing...the best of everything Entertainment is gone!.

[@carolhayar3037]

For "Sweet Caroline" with what i call a "strong ending" go to kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGG2ZHZmbZyJn8U\ -- ends w-a loud shout & arm waving - only something he could do that is so natural & not contrived. - it's all these little things he did that made Elvis, Elvis; no one could ever pull that stuff off.
