This song showed Elvis's power in his voice.

[@mikem957]

That performance debunks any theory that he couldn't still bring it at the end of his life. His physical appearance may have taken a hit but his voice never failed him.

[@joelking5356]

His voice is very powerful

[@carolynyesso9]

He has been plowing me away for over 55 years and I agree he is the GOAT I lo e watching y'all reaction

[@ruthanncrandall3978]

Very powerful voice.Elvis gave us his All !!Gone but never Forgotten !!

[@larrywt656]

One of his last hits, and this was recorded at one of his last concerts. He was very ill at this time...but DAMN he never lost that voice!!

[@Mayfloweralways]

The older Elvis got, the more powerful his voice got. Even as ill as he was, that song was effortless. A lot of people talk about the things that took at toll on his health but he honestly wasn’t that heavy. Like all of us he had put some weight on over 4O. And there are stars out there that live harder than Elvis did. I think some of it was genetics. His mom died in her 40’s, and she obviously wasn’t a rockstar. She also gained a lot of weight in her 40s and started taking heavy medications. Bless his heart, he planned to get into better shape. I think, yes his lifestyle hurt him, but genetics did him no favors either. Just a bad combination.

[@garywilson3308]

I read that a load f his male relatives died quite young

[@KAP1984]

He also had intestinal issues his whole life.

[@vmaxxxxxxx]

Elvis had a disease from birth called Hirschsprung’s disease… What it does is it shuts down your colon. At this time in a few years before his colon was inoperable. Without going into detail do you know what happens when your colon doesn’t work… Nothing moves. The keyword here is backup.So it’s what killed him and after I found out what was going on which was a closely guarded secret back then, and yes he had an addiction to painkillers uppers and downers which didn’t help it but he was in a living hell to be honest with you… I grew to have even more respect for the man having to go through what he was going through physically and touring more than anyone at that time. It was unbelievable what he was able to do at this particular time.

[@1980bwc]

That was very well said. I think you nailed it exactly on why he died so early. Theres a book out there, that if not mistaken, is titled "Destined To Die Young". The entire book goes through all of the medical problems he developed throughout his life, and all of the people in his family, who also died young due to alot of the same issues.

[@user-GodsGirl4ever]

43 years ago yesterday, little girl me attended my only Elvis concert, what I thought was the first of many; it turned out to be his last. BUT it was AMAZING! He stunned me by singing that song, my favorite, that night--WOW!!!!!

[@deanmanfredi9326]

Awesome story

[@PinkCaddy27]

HURT is my favorite song..Elvis did it perfectly

[@johnyetter5838]

You were so lucky!!!!

[@Chris-kj7de]

I believe that his weight was a reflection of his profound sadness, he was so sensitive and despairing over the state of humanity. RIP The King!

[@suzyq7748]

Sing to me Elvis❤ Unconditional love.. for a man who gave us as much as he could for as long as he could....

[@65presleychick]

His voice NEVER failed him. Thank you for your appreciation of the greatest entertainer of all time.

[@kevinfindley690]

His body was giving out on him but that voice never failed him ....

[@jozefhatert6231]

This was an old lion knew his time has come to die but gave his last roar to his pride to his kingdom

[@elviscool9822]

Ohh shut up stop critisize es weight e enjoyed es foad

[@genebeamon4898]

Forgot to say that I can see his facial expressions on many performances that he was amazed by his backup singers and some of the notes they could hit, but more so he was amazed at his own voice by his facial expressions and how God blessed him with such strong vocal chords and lungs, Simply Amazing!!!

[@sandramiller8701]

Elvis presley was pulling out his emotional feelings here he was Hurt by alot of people. Used betrayed a abused. This man was so emotional spiritual a poor St heart a humble.

[@anjakrames5705]

No words . Elvis' voice is absolutely unique. I got always goose bumps. Elvis is the greatest of all time. so powerfull , even though he was so sick. It hurts me so much.😪 Thank you for your great reaction. 👍 God bless you all. 🙏❤🙏

[@cdfdesantis699]

The world got a little brighter when he was born.

[@margiepelcman9837]

I Loved his smile!! A smile of a child when he knew he did good!! What a Man Elvis was, he never lost that voice!!

[@hollywinningham6375]

Elvis is the GOAT, then, now and forever..❤❤❤..gone way to soon 😭💔

[@cheriemills7069]

You know it boggles my mind how he could sing with such power and love considering how ill he was here?! His love for music and his fans surpasses any other performer I’ve ever heard!! I agree with both of you..gives me chills and brings tears to my eyes every time I hear/watch this video! Thanks you two for sharing..it really shows Elvis was as incredible as ever!!! 💙🙌🏻💙

[@chrisellsworth9]

The GOAT for sure

[@carolineshields5664]

Yes I Love that song 😍❤️😘❣️ And all his music 💙 Gospil So on all of it Thanks you guys

[@ShawnandMel4Life]

Hey Caroline, thank you for your comment

[@deliahoover5618]

I saw him 6 months before he died and although his health was failing his voice never did. Sweet Elvis!!!

[@KAP1984]

Can't go wrong with Elvis!!!!

[@stacymoore9836]

With his voice that strong who would’ve even guessed he would pass away 6 weeks later.

[@kathyharze4308]

Magnificent even at the end Elvis's voice was amazing loved it still had that incredible smile thank you stay safe 😷✌

[@karenmiddleton995]

Elvis always blows my mind. He's my favorite singer 😍 Love everything Elvis ❤

[@timothysarris9742]

This became Elvis’ Signature Song. Probably one of his favorites, considering he would sing this song back to back at some of his concerts!

[@nitalopes515]

Just simply magnificent this our unique star unique in every way magnificent magnificent magnificent 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@elv5268]

I love love love love love love love love love love love Elvis 💕 My KING 👑🕺🙏 THE gold voice THE 💎 voice beutiful man 😍

[@mattharack5976]

He is THE BEST EVER!!!

[@tapsa412]

Thanks from Finland madam and sir!!!❤ Elvis can sing, and did, anybodys song! But Nobody can do Elvis!

[@deliahoover5618]

I saw him six months before he passed away and i can tell you he never lost that beautiful voice. Also my dad was his body guard for the time he was in West Palm Beach, Florida and said he was a great young man just like you always heard.

[@arleneelvisgirl4451]

He always blows me away. I'm requesting It Hurts Me!!!

[@barbsmith235]

Elvis what a amazing performance wow brilliant elvis ❤️ love him forever ❤️ this song hurt says so much he was brilliant nearly to the end he voice was so powerful godbless him the king 👑 ♥️ elvis 🌹 🥀 🥀 ☀️ 🎶🎶🎶🎸thanks Shawn mel love this ♥️ wonderful 💐🥀elvis, 🌸♥️🌟forever ❤️ best singer ever 💋 💋 🥀🥀🥀🥀👑

[@derickdefreest]

I’m glad you liked it! Another great song to react to is “Early Morning Rain” Live 1977.

[@rosehoary8906]

He was hurt a lot, sometimes he made mistakes but he never hurt anyone as he hurt himself.💔 forever in our hearts.💕💕

[@dix515]

He is a lyrical baritone. That is why his voice is deep, heavy and round and his treble, powerful like a tenor.

[@angusrocks939]

elvis in 1977... woe is is me. he was dying but still tryin... rip the king, elvis presley!!!

[@cathysmith2941]

This was very powerful but his unchained melody is even better with his vocals. Knowing he would pass away just 6 weeks later his voice was phoneomenal and outstanding

[@williamrichards429]

Anything elvis sings is great

[@kevinfindley690]

Unchain Melody

[@Mayfloweralways]

Oh, and one of the reasons I mentioned “only the Strong survive” in the chat before is because Elvis recorded a lot of good music that he didn’t do live, so in certain ways they’ve sort of been lost. But that’s one that I think deserves a listen 😎

[@FamacaTv]

IM HERE FOR IT!

[@ShawnandMel4Life]

Thank you so much Fam

[@frankieelvisbarbieri5495]

Fantastic!!! That’s exactly what I meant by that incredible tenor voice Elvis developed towards the end of his life.....it don’t matter... so be it Rock, country, gospel, R&B and yes even opera.... Elvis could and did it all!!!...thank you for that video- TCB-Frankie ‘Elvis’

[@sunnycrocker6016]

Love everything about Elvis, thank you both for nice rections✌️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@cathyhetzel5944]

MY FAVORITE ELVIS SONG.

[@veejoy3]

So sick so gooood!!! He was and is the best!!!!!

[@normagallagher6599]

ELVIS GAVE ALL HE HAD ALWAYS

[@oneafter9095]

Yes you’re right he did blow the roof off...but it hurts to see him like that, two months before his passing...and the facial image you see was Elvis’s fiancée at the time Ginger Alden who I have to say was one jaw dropping beauty.

[@Dorakaz1]

@Norma Vandever Linda gave to him, all that she had

[@raymondturner1478]

@Norma Vandever Yes. Also if his Mom would have loved longer she would have been the best for Elvis.

[@chrisellsworth9]

One of his Greatest performances and it was his last concert he passed 6 weeks later

[@elizabethsaxton1116]

If you could before the end of June play the video thatwould and daughter did on a gospel song he had sang years ago. She had gone through a lot of turmoil and she chose this song as a dedication to her Father. She said she felt him and it brought her peace. "It is called Where No One Stands Alone".

[@tbobthehoss]

My very first concert was Elvis Presley, mom took me to see him here at Olympia Stadium in Detroit (1970) along with my older brother. I was just a little guy and we had main floor seats. I remember having to stand on my chair for the entire show to see over all the screaming fans, LOL. He was in top top shape, having just finished a stint in Las Vegas at the International. How lucky was I to have a mom who loved Elvis and wanted her kids to witness his greatness? Still have my program from the show and it is now in my daughter's Elvis collection ... yes, dad turned her into an Elvis fan as well. Great reactions, really enjoy watching with you both ...

[@mariaisabeljesus]

Thank´s Shawn and Mel! Muito lindos! Elvis Aaron Presley com uma linda perfumance nesta canção! My Good, King está o máximo! Tudo brilha com o Elvis Presley! Adoro! Aplausos! Aplausos, King I Love Elvis Presley! 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💖💖💖💖👏👏👏👏

[@randygibson5331]

The power in that voice is incredible! How great thou art from that same concert is just as powerful. Love you guys!!

[@golddredgewater]

Great song and reaction. 6 weeks before he died. I don’t understand how some people say he can’t sing.

[@golddredgewater]

Norma Vandever Or they have bad taste in music

[@jrc8640]

Obviously got no brain simple as that!!

[@dabdella1460]

This song and Unchained Melody was Elvispresley s send off songs for us .

[@veraquintal1678]

Great voice, impressive performance! Elvis for ever!

[@jamesbrewer4614]

What Now My Love from the Aloha special will blow you away!

[@franklinestep5374]

He did that in a concert and played on his back doing that song his voice never left him thank GOD for video to be able to see him!!!

[@rebeccaramirez1432]

I F'en loved it!! He was so great. Yes he did still have it.. and you are so right... he will always be the goat.."whoa nellie😉" much love and respect from Las Vegas

[@marilynmosley4237]

Elvis was great until the end. He passed away 6 weeks later. Always & Forever ❤️“ Elvis “ ❤️

[@jimc884]

Thanks for doing this reaction, take a look at the same concert with him singing Unchained Melody. So sad, he passed away 6 weeks later. They keep saying that he was very sick during this concert, but he still gave to his fans! There will NEVER be another entertainer with such a stage presence better than this. (Jim, South Atlanta)

[@leaslangen28]

Always the greates👑💋❤

[@meyou4843]

There's actually a video on KZbin of him doing that song but the fans and I believe he enjoyed the ending so much that he did it not once not twice but three times the last verse blew the roof off the place every single time

[@margarettaylor8107]

I am in awe of this man.It is hard to believe that such a man ever lived.Even though I saw him perform twice, I believe he was one of God's miracles and he did actually exist.Many people have said that they felt his presence even before he entered the room.He was that electrifying.His own cousin said he couldn't look directly at Elvis because then he would be compelled to stare at him.He was said to be even better looking in person.Unbelievable.For you who put him down because of weight, know this.He was not fat.He was bloated andwhen he died and he had lost the bloat. At any stage in his life, Elvis is far superior looking than the average man.If only they could look as good as he even what some say at his worst.Evis never had a worst.Handsome toll the end. Elvis blows everyone off the planet.He was and is that commanding.Love you sweet Elvis.

[@ShawnandMel4Life]

Hey Family, thank you so much for your support 💜😀

[@poetgb]

I agree with your reaction that Elvis blew our minds with his powerful performance. It is a bittersweet song and performance. Elvis' voice is so powerful reaching operatic heights. Someone once said that even though Elvis' health was declining, one thing that never left him was his incredible voice. Right up to the end he could still put on a show and sound great. I would like to please request ' You Gave Me A Mountain ' from 1973. It is one of Elvis' most powerful vocal performances.

[@brendaparker3825]

Amazing! Pure perfection!!

[@steveallen8338]

Elvis there goes my everything

[@kathystephens2767]

Elvis was an Amazing Singer!! ❤❤

[@ShawnandMel4Life]

Hey Kathy yes he was💜💜😀

[@lizthequeen1709]

That is just one of his best before he died. It makes me cry when I her that. It should the hurt inside.

[@kennethstark9383]

He obviously wasn’t very well but he still nailed it that’s why he is the king 🇬🇧👍

[@deliahoover5618]

I saw him February 1977 he did that song he never lost his vocals.

[@donkinghan1]

How Great thou Art from the same concert...another great ending...tear jerker 😥

[@debwebster6608]

I've been binge watching your Elvis takeover. I was 14 when he died, owned most of his albums at one time, and I STILL react to him. It never gets old. You guys are priceless! Thanks for the fun!

[@ShawnandMel4Life]

Hey Deb, thank you so much, it’s an honor to react for Elvis’s greatest fans like yourself 💜💜💜💜

[@perrymalcolm3802]

Even at the end! 😳🤯👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@rosebivens2489]

How great thou art 1977 is in this category as well as unchained melody

[@jangalvin4185]

Shawn & Mel Elvis Voice got more Powerful as he got older just Amazing!!! PLEASE PLEASE LISTEN TO DONT CRY DADDY WITH ELVIS & LISA MARIE! ITS BEAUTIFUL❤

[@ArcaneWeasel]

Elvis had operatic skills that we demonstrated in songs like Padre and It’s Now or Never. Listen to 1977 live version of “How Great Thou Art”. He does the same thing like in Hurt. It will blow you away.

[@tonimolina197]

He was so sick but he still gave his all I love him

[@sissyandgwapstv2648]

I love elvis presley it reminds me of my mom and my dad when they are still alive when they hear elvis presley song they dance, one of my favorite is love me tender..

Operatic vocals in perfection by Mr perfection

[@richanley2804]

Indeed at age 42 his voice evolved to almost opera like. Could you imagine if he lived and could have sang with Pavarotti or the likes.

All i can say is amazing wow

[@mariejones254]

I’m a new viewer and I’m loving you both discovering Elvis! You absolutely get him! He was a force to be reckoned with! Nobody else like him! I’ll continue to watch your reactions. They’re “clean” and respectful. I appreciate you both. God bless!

[@jmanganella123]

That voice!!

[@lastrada52]

The voice never failed him. The respect Elvis had for the original singer (who he knew & loved) of this song the incredible Timi Yuro -- he called her to get permission to sing it. If you want to hear Timi impress you go to KZbin -- live performance of Timi singing in Scandanavia "You'll Never Walk Alone" prior to her own death. She had a huge voice & such style. Good assessment.

[@paulhardy4820]

Incredible voice that never failed and it's actually hard to believe that he died about 7 weeks later.

[@michiganraised1892]

What now my love from his dress rehearsal concert is still my favorite . Very powerful at the end if you have a roof still ...

[@genebeamon4898]

Blew me away! Thank you very much, he says again!!! These last 3 concerts were just 6 weeks before he passed. If he passed on Aug. 16, 1977, who knows. I don't know if this could be topped, in these same concerts when he did How Great Thou Art might come close, maybe we can see that soon!!!There have been many Elvis sightings thru the years and so much controversy that he faked his death. There are a few big things that get me that he could have pulled it off and lived many years after. Elvis was the 1st one to talk some thru his songs and I like that. He started it with Are You Lonesome Tonight, I believe and in some performances he talks a little thru My Way instead of singing, and Hurt he talks a little as we heard--very unique!!!

[@delorespetree207]

Elvis give it all to the end especially the song hurt

[@florencecavallaro4599]

I almost fell on the floor/for sure/

[@sandramiller8701]

The girl it's showing in the audience was his last girl friend Ginger Alden. But she knew deep down he still loved his wife Priscilla.

[@vincentlepore8352]

Ok guys I have to step in and top that sorry that one is number 2 but number 1 that tops that same concert 1977 how great thou art you wanna hear vocals then you put that on and I guarantee to that you will be speechless vinny from Boston

[@donnamccall8299]

Yes I definitely agree that one sends chills all over it was beautiful an so anointing!

[@vincentlepore8352]

Donna McCall thank you Donna my dad used to play that when I was 16 years old used to put it on full blast omg I couldn’t believe what I was hearing and I’m 58 today I still get goosebumps from his voice

Tray moody blue great song from Elvis last album ever recorded

[@garywilson3308]

Elvis usually did a full second version of this song due to the croud response! Usually giving more power to thrill the crowd! Still gives me chills, cheers for the review
