[@sherylmcclure400]

Elvis gives you hope ,when he speaks those words ,and the ending so powerful

[@delladawn1149]

The first time I ever heard Elvis sing America The Beautiful was when I saw him in 1976 ❤ It was the Bicentennial year ❤️ To hear it him do it live is more than you can imagine then record ❤️

[@Wildlife_SA.]

This is such a beautiful song. 🇺🇲 His voice is amazing too. That last note, wow! Definitely a triple banger.

[@Laura-M-L]

Makes me proud to be American! So beautiful! His spoken part, melting … Thanks Seph! The Elvis tingles!

[@ianraymondback]

WE WERE SO LUCKY... HE SO EXPRESSED LIFE HAPPY OR SAD ...JUST TO CELEBRATE GOD.. ONE OF OUR GREATEST AMERICAN ARTIST WE SHOULD ALWAYS BE PROUD TO HAVE.. HE DID LOVE ALL IN OTHER NATIONS AND TO THIS DAY THE WORLD STILL LOVES HIM GOD BLESS🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊

[@jjbud3124]

This is the most beautiful song about America, In my opinion. Elvis voice makes it even more so. When he narrates it just blows me away. Wait until you get to do American Trilogy from 73. Makes me so happy when you're able to post a new Elvis reaction. I look for you all day.

[@ChefBarb58]

OH HOE THE WEB WAS WOVEN!!! SO MANY HE DID THAT MADE YOU TINGLE SEPH... YOUR PLIPPING GREAT..🕊🕊

[@helenludlow2331]

Yay a triple 💣💣💣 a great song - there is a live version on KZbin from December 75 it's not the greatest of quality (sound is fine but vision is just about OK) - love his talking voice 👑💛⭐

[@senyart890]

Way to go! I never heard this version before. Thank you Seph!

[@dcftcb7764]

I wish we still had that brotherhood in the US today! 👑✌️

[@kathifielder1110]

"America The Beautiful" sung and spoken beautifully by Elvis. Just for fun, check out the twist he puts on the ending of this version: Elvis Presley: "America The Beautiful" (1976) (2:12).

[@Samua3]

I have never heard him sing this before and what happened an incredible version! Like you, I have seriously never heard it sung like this! Just wow!

[@joeraytony]

There is a youtube Elvis concert in full called The Final Countdown shot on new years eve 76-77 and he does a hair raising rendition of this song- infact the whole concert was mind lowing considering Elvis would be dead in 8 months yet he looked great here..

[@belinda35_77]

dec 31 1976 pittsburgh is a legendary concert its truly elvis' last truly great concert but he did not perform america the beautiful in it it is called elvis' final countdown to new years

[@Ntass1]

Banger all day.. I wish he did this in Ahola from Hawaii 1973.❤

[@HeavenlyPresley-Tonya]

There is a video / concert Elvis singing this in 1976 or 77

[@timcarr6401]

It had to be in 1976, the bicentennial year.

[@traceycater]

It would be an enormously long this of who sung America The Beautiful, I mean big!

[@mrchips4489]

It was sang by millions of people much like our national anthem. We used to regularly sing it at school & at sporting events. It was first entitled "America The Beautiful" in 1910. It is one of the most popular of American patriotic songs.

[@m.stimson3829]

🇺🇸 America the, what a classic (and traditional)[Patriotic]song, I guess we all might of heard various versions of this (I think Ray Charles did a version of this song as well 😀)❤, well just let you know and thank you for sharing this Seph... Elvis wins again.

[@jjbud3124]

Yes, Ray Charles. His was beautiful too. Love him.

[@ellensalvatore7235]

Beautiful powerful rendition. I think if you play it another minute he does a great reprise!

[@gorse9030]

This song was big in 1976 as it celebrated 200 years of independence from the dreaded English. I have made a version from Philadelphia 28 June 1976 on YT using the Amateur film intersected by US scenery during the rough parts of the video. That version is better than this one being more atmospheric as it is recorded by a person in the audience.

[@SephPlays]

I'll definitely have to check this out in the future here on the channel 😄

[@jjbud3124]

I was there.

[@gorse9030]

@@jjbud3124 I knew that already as you were the one screaming next to the person recording 🙂

[@GREATMINDSMEET-THEVERYBE-qe8rw]

There are many Great 'LIVE' versions of this one, especially in the Bicentennial American year of 1976! Each one is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!🥰

[@trishf3576]

Elvis was v patriotic ❤

[@BetsyJonex-f6v]

The first time I have ever heard Elvis sing this. It brought me to tears but even so I have to add that Elvis was not only a Patriot that served in the US Army, but he gave to finance the Pearl Harbor Memorial in Hawaii. He loved America. Thanks Seph, that was wonderful.

[@paulhuggett7503]

The funny but I think 'cool' thing about Elvis 'released as a single' version of this song, is both this and 'Softly As I Leave You' were taken from fans 'audio cassette tape recordings' from concerts. This was because the RCA record company had not been able to come up with 'good' recorded versions of both songs! A Great reaction and a really Great song Seph ... especially when sung by The Elvis! THANK YOU!🥰

[@mandyheath1793]

Amazingly sung by Elvis ❤

[@robbansa]

Yes great patriotic song with that Elvis goosebumps ending. I wonder what he would think of today's America.🤔

[@jennyjorgensen9935]

He would be sad, I imagine. 😢

[@SephPlays]

I know little to nothing about US culture, but i can definitely say that elvis wouldnt be thrilled by the US in 2024 👀

Trombone

[@warrenwilson5588]

TRUMP SHOULD BE PLAYING THIS AT HIS RALLIES, TRUMP LOVES ELVIS, MAYBE ITS A COPYRIGHT, PUBLISHING THING

[@timcarr6401]

I agree with you. That should be played at his rallies.

STOP WITH POLITICS. DAMN.

[@jjbud3124]

@@timcarr6401 It shouldn't exist here. This is about music, not politics. Seph's channel should not degenerate into political fights. He could start a political channel if he wanted to. We come here to enjoy Elvis.

[@katy5467]

😂 Everyone in America has sang it for the past 131 years. A poem written by Katharine Lee Bates after a trip to Colorado visiting Pike’s Peak.

[@timcarr6401]

Everyone has sung it.

[@Jeri_C11]

Wonderful version of a truly popular American song. Thanks Seph. So beautifully sung. 😢😊❤❤❤

[@jennyjorgensen9935]

Soooo beautiful and inspiring. Elvis loved his country and was the epitome of a patriot. I am so glad he wasn't here in 2016 to experience those dark days. One of his dearly loved friends was a disabled Cerebral Palsy victim and he would have been so saddened to see that a racist, misogynist idiot who made fun of disabled people and disrespected the military was running the country. The song is very heartfelt and I love that you got goosies.❤❤❤

[@debbyschultz1729]

Absolutely 💯 % Beautiful! ❤❤❤❤❤!

[@MigdaliaTomalinas-os2nz]

Most beautiful rendition I’ve ever heard. Never heard Elvis singing this song. He was very Patriotic. The speaking part is so unique. OMG I got chills with goosebumps. There were so many missed opportunities to film his many performances. He prided himself on himself in putting on a good show for his fans. Thank you for finding this Gem.💕🥰

[@scsu5085]

--------------------- he was a true true patriot, serving in the army at the height of his career, working in the Infantry Tank Corps, stripping him of his luxuaries. Even the heart felt letter he wrote to President Nixon in 1972 expressing concerns over the chaos in our country at the time. Yep, true patriot.

[@suspiciousminds1750]

"I've heard this song, I don't know the words but I've heard it." Sadly, you sound like a typical young American. Elvis sang this during the Bicentennial in '76.
