In 1956, there was nothing remotely like Elvis. He created a million imitators, but he was in another league. Without him, there would be no Hendrix, Led Zep, Beatles, or Bowie. He still remains unbeatable.

[@davisworth5114]

Wrong, Elvis got his moves from black performers, you don't know much.

[@lechat8533]

@@davisworth5114 Nobody said that Elvis invented dancing. Come on David, don`t be so damn stiff! He was unique and even more than that. Your arguments are very dull. After Elvis, any black musician had the chance to sell as many records as Elvis. But for some "odd reason" nobody, white or black, came even close. Stay cool and give credit where credit is due. Nobody gets famous for nothing if you like them or not.

ELVIS WAS A COMPLETE ONE PACKAGE ! HE HAD IT ALL !

[@margarettaylor8107]

In 56 in Jacksonville Fl there was a warrant for his arrest if he moved provocatively with his hips and legs. Police were in the audience to nab him when he did.Elvis outsmarted them.He moved his little finger and the fans screamed wildly.God love Elvis.One of a kind.Never to be duplicated.

[@benmoore42]

Wasn’t that the one in which he wiggled his finger?

[@margarettaylor8107]

@@benmoore42 yes but the movie has him elsewhere and singing Trouble which he did not sing until 1960. Also, he never fired the Colonel in public. He had too much class to do that.

[@micheleortiz4623]

I love when you say is it legal to dance like this...it actually caused the shows to stop shooting him below the waistline.

[@kellykersten8828]

Man that Elvis smile, you just can't beat that thing!

[@depper]

"May God bless you as he's blessed me". Said at the most fever pitch moment of his life and maybe modern musics most fever pitch moment. The nation was blessed with new music, new dance moves and a new type of stage presence this night and they loved it. But its not only the man's undeniable and uniquely God given talents, it was his HUMBLENESS that won him over. He could have just bragged about his stellar performance as most would do given a microphone and TV audience after the song ----but when all the lights and attention was on him HE asked GOD TO BLESS US. THAT is a LEGEND MOMENT that changed a lot of minds about Elvis and black music and white music. He broke down walls right there and he would continue the fight to break down music walls and social walls through his music and actions until his untimely death in 1977.

[@pranarn1451]

Elvis was the complete package!! He could moon walk, someone said!

[@Gooneress]

"This man could dance, this man could sing, this man had it all!" You are spot on. This was a fab performance of a classic track. He was 21 in 1956 and he had the world at his feet. As you can hear from the screaming, TV was live - no autotune and no do-overs if you messed up. It's 2021 so it's difficult to appreciate the impact that he had at that time; the only thing I can say is that nobody had ever seen anything like Elvis before. I really enjoyed your warm reaction. It's good to see younger people reacting to Elvis.

[@ianraymondback]

Elvis made 31 movies and 3 live concert movies and one tv special

[@TheBohemianAngels]

I believe he did 2 live concert movies and the one tv special.

[@ianraymondback]

@@TheBohemianAngels1. that's the way it. is, 2.on tour 3. Hello from hawaii.

[@ianraymondback]

I know because I have all his movies on dvd and all his albums on cd I've been a elvis fan six I was 6 and I'm now 51

[@TheBohemianAngels]

​@@ianraymondback Actually, i'm also a huge fan since way back as well. I think you are mixing television appearances as "live concert "MOVIES", and they are not considered the same. Elvis did 31 movies and two concert documentaries. Those would be different than Elvis appearing on live t.v. which we know he did a #, including the Aloha from Hawaii, and the Frank Sinatra appearance. Let me know which is the 3rd concert documentary he did? A big of background, Elvis was under contract to continue to do two more movies, but gave them the concert documentaries because he didn't want to do more movies. Respectfully, just trying to make sure we get the right info documented. Let me know otherwise.

[@pamelapropson6992]

Some people just have it! Elvis had it!

[@benmoore42]

The only two acts that brought this level of excitement were Elvis and the Beatles. That’s it. Later, MJ got pretty darn close (save it-I know he was up there), but that’s it. Those three. That’s the Mount Rushmore. May be others (Dylan, Sinatra, the Stones, Queen, The Beach Boys, etc), but in my opinion, those three acts experienced a level of fame noone else did. Had people passing out, having to be carted off on stretchers, and couldn’t go out in public without being absolutely harassed. Don’t know if I’d want that.

[@jamiem4941]

Glad you enjoyed this one. He was quite the character. He liked to laugh and have s good time. Watched it to the end. Thanks for the reaction.

[@darealadogg]

Thank you Jamie for sending me this to check out

[@laurie-lionessnotaewe5902]

And to think, he had ZERO training! Truly God given and blessed with good looks, too. This was my very first favorite song. I had my mama worn out playing that record(yes, vinyl) a million times in a roll! 😂 If you haven’t done his rendition of Bridge Over Troubled Water, it’s a must! I promise, he makes you feel his words. Just so beautiful and touching.

[@nevin7094]

Elvis was the FIRST to ever move on stage on that. See those singers behind him? That was the most anyone had seen out of anyone on stage to that point. He was king straight out the womb! Started it all

[@ruthsimon7035]

This man was so damn handsome and had Charisma like no other! Great reaction Thank you guy!

[@deborahdenny4110]

Elvis made 31 movies and 2 documentrys.

[@sallycook]

I think it was this performance that lead to Elvis only being televised from the waist up on his next, and his last, Ed Sullivan show in January 1957.

[@RJsStudio131]

Sally, You are right..He only had one more performance in January..After 10+ appearances, sponsors pressured CBS to censor..Go Figure..Think the "Damage" was done by then..LOL...The Rest is History...CBS and Ed had grown very fond of Elvis by now and just before the last show they telegrammed Elvis and suggested he close with a spiritual/Gospel, so Elvis chose his Mother's Favorite. Peace in The Valley...If you go to the Official Graceland You Tube channel in their "Archives' Series, they show the actual telegram from CBS and ED.....

[@sallycook]

@@RJsStudio131 I’ll check that out, thanks. I don’t think they prewarned Elvis they were only going to show him from the waist up. I think it was during Don’t Be Cruel, towards the end, where it seems Elvis spots a monitor. You can see a fleeting expression on his face and then he launches into a full blown “body” finale.

[@CarlaDelk]

Great reaction! Elvis was, is, and always will be the best entertainer ever!! Ladies and men both enjoyed Elvis. Undeniable talent. You should check out his 68 comeback special version of " Trying to get to you". Thank you for your reaction.

June 5, 1956 Elvis gave American culture "Hond Dog" live on Milton Berle's show; he bumped and grinded and tore the place apart. Make sure you see that version with live footage and live audio!

[@AutumnExplore]

"Hound Dog", of course...

[@carolking1502]

Elvis was and is great! Talented, generous, and a great sense of humor. He thought it was hilarious that the girls screamed at his littlest movements, so he would have fun teasing them!

[@stevespanos75]

Elvis was a Phenomena. His presence was overwhelming. Nobody else had what he had. Truly one of a kind. To have never heard his voice or his live performances on video would be a loss. Like your videos, fun to watch.

[@andrewclack4881]

man you hit it on the button. At the time his moves were only JUST legal. Hello from England.

[@chrisbrimhall6323]

I know to today’s audience this looked tame.....but 60 years ago this was new, unknown, and considered dangerous....but it was new and revolutionary

[@dragonfly244]

GD he was a god. I've been a fan since I was 4 years old. I LOVE that people keep discovering him and why is KING. As John Lennon said "Before anyone did anything, Elvis did everything". He is a legend and an everlasting dreamboat

[@christinestromberg4057]

One of the things I loved about Elvis was his humour, he never really took himself seriously, often laughing at himself. And that's very sexy. He wasn't what I would call dancer but he could certainly move. And did.

[@colmflaherty3963]

You could imagine back then everyone was really quiet music was different, Then out of nowhere, Comes this guy! This is why they decided to film him from the waist up only. But he still found a way. What I like about Elvis is, He's always different in the way he sings and moves, he's never the same way all the time.

[@charleskemp2037]

Ed Sullivan was great. Bringing all the rock groups on during the 1960's, thank You ED !!!!

[@deborahdenny4110]

Elvis made nicknamed Elvis the Pelvis back when he started because of his moves they were said to be indecent by some. When he exploded onto the stage in 1954 he started a new era in music history....as John Lennon once quoted...'Before Elvis there was Nothing.'

[@p.j.morris633]

and he hated that nickname.

[@joannrumbley1490]

Elvis made 31 movies. He hated making most of them in the 60's. Elvis is the best!

[@mikem957]

He enjoyed making them up until around 1965 when they became less appealing and routine and the songs were didn't and kitty level. He said he got physically ill from making those later films. Harum Academy was horrible and he hated it.

[@lisaleonard9150]

Elvis was only 21 on this show, so gorgeous amazing performer thank you for video

He was such a shy person if u can believe that but somehow changed onstage...still retaining his humble and fun ways - he never understood why he was SO popular all his life....very spiritual and a deeper person than most realise. Thankyou for the upload 🤟🏼💞 Never seen the full talking bit before & after...plus i LOVE when he goes totally wild like a rag doll ...he never rehearesed, just moved as the music took him...never be another RIP ELVIS u gave ur all 🙏

Young elvis bro handsome like a hell ,girls was going crazy

[@cathybrookeburt2616]

As a teenage girl, I used to go see Elvis movies on Saturdays. 'Girls, girls, girls', 'Love me Tender', 'Casino Royal' & on & on. Many TV shows refused to show him from the waste down because of his 'vulgar' hip movements. LOL All the best acts were on Ed Sullivan. The Beatles' first US debut was on Ed Sullivan & I sat on my parents floor & saw them & the girls reactions were just like this. LOL

[@debbers]

I watched all the way to the end and loved your reaction to a song that came out one year before I was born, I'm loving reliving all these memories through your eyes and the eyes of other young people on the internet, at first I was scared to even touch a computer, now I'm looking at KZbin videos, my kids are saying you go Mom!

[@gailshepard-cook6350]

The First Time He Was On This Show. They Would Try & Just Show Upper Waist. He Really Held Back In This Show Appearance & He Made A Little Funny Showing That. Yep He had To Hold Back A Lot In Those Days. I Loved Him & Still Do. Thank You For Showing Him #HOG

[@lauriemccomas1578]

Ed Sullivan once told Elvis he couldn't be on his show if he moved his hips. Elvis asked if he could move anything. Ed told him he could move his little finger. Elvis sang & had his little finger moving all over the place. 🎵

[@yambo59]

As simple as this performance looks now, it was a new thing to see such actions on stage, parents hated him as the country was largely conservative christian back then. When Elvis first started many radio stations would not play his records, some stations even stopped playing rock and roll all together and made a big deal out of it - until they saw all the money they were losing and things gradually loosened up.

[@davidharrison1523]

Elvis made over 31 movies, & he sang & danced in most of them. He wanted to be a more serious actor, but this is what his fans wanted, & those movies were make a lot of money, so that is what they wanted him to make. In the end, he got so frustrated that he decided to return to what he enjoyed the most, live on-stage performances, & he did a Comeback Special in 1968, which has some wonderful singing & yes, some dancing too. He loved singing & dancing before his fans, & was always interacting with them, in a way that no other singers were doing back then, & probably not now either. He made his fans feel special … made them feel as if he knew each one of them personally, & that is what made Elvis so very special.

How many movies did Elvis Presley appear in? 31 feature films Starting with Elvis' first movie, “Love Me Tender,” Elvis starred in 31 feature films as an actor and two theatrically released concert documentary films, all of which enjoyed financial success.

[@cooldaddy2877]

he done an even raunchier version of Hound Dog on the Milton Berle Show. At the end, when the band thought it was all over, Elvis started up a slow and sexy Blues version which almost blew up America. The band didnt know what to do so just joined in as best they could....you gotta watch it!!!

[@lindawhite5006]

This was the year before I was born and normally women did not act like this! He brought out the beast in women! That's why they began to only show him from the waist up! He was a phenomena! ELVIS WILL ALWAYS BE THE KING!

Have you heard Elvis Presley's "Blue Moon of Kentucky"? I had this on my 45 record player on Sun Records. Flip side is "That's Alright Mama"...both greats! I think this might have been Elvis' first record.

[@MarkRogersVOCFB]

What is truly amazing about all the screaming is that this is a TV show at a time when the youth culture was just beginning (thanks almost completely to Elvis), so this was not a concert full of teenagers like one of his regular shows. This was a TV show so only a small section of the audience were teenage girls. The great majority of the audience were older people there just to see an Ed Sullivan Show. If that studio would've been packed with teenagers it would've been deafening.

[@matthewnelson7531]

I believe Elvis had around 31, 32 movies through the 50s and late 60s👍

[@tinanoel452]

[@jennywren7822]

Ed Sullivan here completely different from the first time Elvis was on his show, Ed didn't want him but was overruled and he showed his displeasure in his introduction to Elvis. Then after another later performance he came on and praised Elvis on how he was a real nice boy and a pleasure to have him on his show. This overturned people's perspective of Elvis and he became accepted. Ed Sullivan did a lot for Elvis...

[@judyanderson7202]

Elvis made 33 movies in six years. Started out in westerns and then everybody wanted him to sing his music
