Did Elvis invent beat boxing? What is it?

[@vickyclausen4631]

He did loads of funky/cool things with his phenomenal voice ,he was so creative musically,the GOAT❤

[@SharonMatthews-h3w]

Elvis was so creative, it just came natural to him to do different things

[@theapavlou3030]

Yes he did, beatboxing during Polk Salad Annie and he invented the mic drop in rehearsals ❤

[@Mary-bk2wj]

I saw the mic drop.

[@Fran-j2h]

Elvis was the whole package👍❤️🇦🇺

[@MoreMata]

For me he didn’t do this with the purpose to “invent “ beatboxing: he was simply the goat, he was the man, the real artist living for music, the same music that he felt flowing in his veins since he was a kid. He could hear every single sound of the instruments on stage or even in studio and reproduce with his blessed voice. The man loved what he was doing, and he could do it all.

[@MikeHorton-c1c]

David Elvis did have his own little jive Talkin. Yeah Elvis was a trendsetter.. sometimes he even didn't know that he was setting trends. even some of his songs were turned into rap songs

[@thecoolcreativebuildchanne2613]

It is hard to describe. It just came out of him naturally too! Pretty cool sounding the way he did that!

[@mikem957]

I love that 8-11-70 version of Polk Salad. Elvis originated so much in music by mixing sounds of delta blues, gospel hyms and choirs, country twang and jazzy horns to create his own unique sound and style. He never gets the proper credit for doing that. Also keep in mind that MJ attended Elvis's show on May 25, 1974 and Elvis did that ad libbing chone chone sound to the end of Hound Dog that is similar to what MJ would do years later when he would say "jamone". 🤔

[@ElvisistheMan_]

Yeah he was truly an original

[@jannekedevries2360]

The more music I hear from Elvis the more I like him. He is such a versatile musician. Love him! Thank you for showing this fragment.

[@ElvisistheMan_]

You’re welcome and I’m glad to hear that!

[@mrsongman]

It's just scat singing or similar, no? Beatboxers are setting a rhythm. Elvis is doing this to a rhythm.

[@kristenlaxton7970]

Thank you for this Elvis video of Elvis doing different noises in this video, and I love when he does those in his songs!!!❤😊

[@ElvisistheMan_]

Me too

[@MasonAtMidnight]

Its basically Scatting which was before Elvis but Elvis definitely had his signature version of it.

[@patricial.holdemangarciava5406]

ELVISISTHEMAN CHANNEL beat boxing, the term is fantastic Elvis had a natural talent that came out when he was performing. His moves and sound was his own.❤🎉😅

[@Yeshua-s1j]

That was his style and he is cool

[@darrylhughes7797]

It's not a beatbox at all. It's more like scatting. Which Elvis would have gotten from his love of the blues and bluesmen like Muddy Waters etc, because that's where it comes from. Elvis DID NOT invent it.

[@ElvisistheMan_]

I would agree with you

[@rebelvgan4579]

😅 well whatever, it's still damn cool when Elvis does it 😁

[@nickypauley6604]

Cooler when Elvis did it!

[@LisaRobinson0725]

I saw that when I was a kid that very same concert I'm 57 years old now and we were sitting around in our living room and we saw that anyway everybody was just shocked. I remember my family jaw dropping facial expression, just everything stopped, and they were just shocked, like wow, that is so cool and Elvis Presley is doing it...You know, what I mean... So, yeah I think that was very original. EP was just so rhythmic. But, Elvis is from the south so he probably heard that somewhere and you know it's a multicultural/shared culture kinda thing... Yet, I've not heard that kinda music play anywhere other than in the black community, but of course, way back in the day it was a little different you know... But things and music evolves, so nowadays it's done differently but yeah, but still, I think that was definitely the beginning and a form of beatboxing for sure. It's a multicultural thing. 🙂👍🏽💕

[@ElvisistheMan_]

My grandma said when she first saw Elvis on TV she almost fell off the couch lol

[@JamesJXicano]

More of a skat, than a beat box

[@danubiodeoliveira6108]

Really? It's an interesting proposition... L.O.L.

[@mentospepermunt3858]

As someone has already commented Elvis did everything first

[@BrendaBooher-hw4mf]

Elvis' voice was an instrument on it's own. He grew up listening to so many different artists that he could sing anything and sing it in his own way. I love it ! He was the best!

[@Sharon-Carrell]

Love ❤️ Loved 🥰 this!!!!

[@Sharon-Carrell]

Love ❤️ Loved 🥰 this!!!!

[@gpt465]

He felt his music! Nobody like him❤ One of a kind🥰🥰🥰

[@PaulAndrew-fp2qg]

Right they were too obscure for anyone outside of fandom to pick up on but good examples of Elvis improvising and doing something that was pretty unique to him. He was truly unique in so many ways.

[@DennisGraham-jl8os]

It Came From His Army Days !!!!!!!

[@brandonvandine1695]

I wouldn't call that beat boxing just noise with rhythm. Please stop 😂😂😂😂

[@jayceewaldner8505]

He said that it wasn’t beatboxing. Said they were being to generous with that statement. You stop

[@lolasanchez5993]

Buen trabajo David, me encanta lo que haces. Gracias por compartir

[@samhugh4965]

I think what Elvis does is called scat singing, used in jazz.

[@TheKopyKatz]

Fire 🔥🔥🔥

[@janetbentsen1829]

You do have the most interesting topics. I think it was Elvis feeling the music and the beat. I've even heard him do it when performing his musical numbers in movies. Just Elvis doing his magic.

[@LuanneHarris-rk9ei]

I miss Elvis I have a photo picture of Elvis on the front wall of my phone Americans says cell phones ". Has a written verse on the photo to. I just sit read have a tear while have'n a cupper in the morning. Thank you David from Sydney Australia 🇭🇲💝

[@drkwlsk]

I think it's his way of keeping rhythm and time throughout the song he's singing. Like a filler. He knew every aspect of his songs and perfected them. This was how he felt his way through his songs, in his head

[@hotroddave7597]

1st to say TCB ⚡️🏎️🏁

[@mikem957]

And he made the phrase "thank you, thank you very much" very popular as so many entertainers use it themselves now.

[@gdepbb]

I got one for ya. Elvis was the first Rap artist. Ask me why

[@SharonMatthews-h3w]

@@gdepbb why, I think I know the answer

[@ElvisistheMan_]

Why

[@gdepbb]

@ElvisistheMan_ because in Are You Lonesome Tonite, Elvis talks over a melody which is the definition of Rap music. Lol

[@brandonvandine1695]

Creative video. 😊👍🏻

[@scsu5085]

- - - - - invented, perhaps stumbled upon it on his own, but more succinctly, elvis in his own words 'just did what he felt.' What you are seeing from Elvis in your samples are extemporaneous , uninhibited & natural ability. Like the bunch of genres he easily covered, he could have gone in any direction with things like this beat box, scatting, or the country versions of these things which may not have labels. Truly gifted individual.

[@shirleyfernandes6971]

I also love it when add that in the songs. So creative

[@TS-gg9dk]

I love it when he does that, because it’s a sign that he’s really into the song and the groove of it. 🎶🎵

[@ElvisistheMan_]

I agree!

[@vickyclausen4631]

Thats DEBATABLE,lol

[@delorespetree3243]

He had his own beat to things

[@ElvisistheMan_]

Yeah

[@riseharris5204]

Now you know why #Elvis is on President Trump’s play list! 😊

[@ElvisistheMan_]

He is!

[@keitheley5448]

😎⚡🏆⚡🏆⚡🏆📸👍!

[@memphisrocks1]

MEMPHISROCKS1; GREAT VIDEO, ELVIS PRESLEY STARTED IT ALL!!.

[@DebraBehrens-sn4bi]

Hi David yes , I remember when Elvis did that in some of his performances it was cool added to his songs so he wasn’t always singing words I think he did that so he could add time to his songs without singing and repeating so much but it was kinda cool also Michael Jackson and I can’t think of them but a few other celebrity singers did that Too Thanks for pointing this out about ElvisTCB⚡️

[@johnconte-ix1iz]

Elvis was very creative, he added his flair to songs, and I believe that he was using a Jazz technique called scat singing... Just my thought but then again, we are talking about Elvis so it is possible that he came up with a new technique without realizing it while doing his own thing... As always love your posts and videos as well as your thoughts and very informed commentary.

[@robertstdon9280]

Elvis invented lots of things if you look into them .Example Elvis sang a song called I'll be back an.then you have Arnold saying I'll be back in the Terminator .or when you listen to song Bossa nova baby that's a rap song 🎵?

[@harrythedirty4256]

He also gets no credits for inspiring punk/metal singers though he has songs like his version Johnny b good or little sister or his version of whole lotta shaking going on that are very resemblance of that genre

[@EvangelineDouros]

Elvis invented beat boxing yeah woo hoo 😁😄😃😀😍

[@MaaikevanBroekhovenIBCLC]

He was so coooooollllll
