Elvis Presley "Jailhouse Rock" (LiveStream) Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@larrycox8685]

This was arguably the first music video ever. Elvis' voice just kills it. And he choreographed all the dance moves. Michael Jackson always tributed this as one of his major influences.

[@shirleycameron7718]

I love this to bits.....tq

Oui mais c'est un extrait d'un film, pas un clip à proprement parler, ça raconte pas une histoire. Mais effectivement le côté esthétique était déjà là !

"arguably the first music video ever" No. E.g. Louis Jordan was known for his "Soundies" in the '40s.

[@matrix5000100]

Historically, this video by Elvis Presley is the first music video in the world. I think that's what it says in the history books. Elvis was the first artist to change the world. Without Elvis Presley the world would still be an “old” world.

[@patriciaesposito8941]

This was from movie “Jailhouse Rock.” Elvis did choreography. He was about 19 here. Pre-Army days.

[@MikkiManson13]

Close. Jailhouse Rock was 1957 so he was 22, and the movie was actually released a few months before he was drafted

Elvis didn’t choreograph it. The choreographer created this based on elvis’ natural moves.

This was actually the world's 1st music video and it was done in '57 out of his movie Jailhouse Rock. The future was set for Music Videos!!!!!!! It was another #1 hit for him in '57 with about 5 or 6 others. All multi million selling hits. It all started in'56 With Heartbreak Hotel and in '56 he had about 5 or 6 #1 its multi million selling. He was topping the charts with anything he put out. That's when the started calling him The King of the Charts. Staying there for several weeks in a row. The world had never seen anything like this. He often wandered why he was the chosen one to set the stage for the future. He often wandered WHY he had to be ELVIS!!!! Alot of pressure was about to be at stake. He had over 600 songs. It will take quiet a journey. There's Elvis-50's, Elvis-60's and Elvis-70's. There's Elvis gospel, country, blues, pop and rock. I have a long list. Let's explore together!!!

I tend to agree with that. Until the Colonel held him back after the army stint doing some of those movies with the same old tired plots, and some of the songs were really forgettable. Those Turkeys would have failed if it hadn't been for the fact that Elvis was in them and gave it his best shot with what he had to work with, even he hated most of them. Thank God he broke free and resurrected his singing career. I truly believe Colonel Tom Parker ruined him once he got out of the army.

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

Fact is US entertainers rarely performed outside of the US in those days with the exception of entertainers who traveled to Europe to entertain the Troops WW2.

I love to see young people discover Elvis! People new to Elvis always know he's called the King of Rock 'N Roll, but I've noticed most requests are for songs from 1968 and later. Of course, all of these are fantastic, but I feel like you're missing out on a lot of what changed music as we knew it and made Elvis a star. He recorded a ton of songs in all different genres in 1956-57. If you want to react to some early Elvis rock 'n roll check these out: (1) Elvis Presley "Ready Teddy" on The Ed Sullivan Show (2:03); (2) ELVIS PRESLEY, GOT A LOT O' LIVIN TO DO (1:58); Elvis Presley - I Need Your Love Tonight (Colourised Video Edit) (2:17); (4) Elvis Presley - Good Rockin' Tonight (Live ~ RARE) (2:46).

[@nealmalik9142]

This was the first music video in history ....... Plus Another first through Elvis ....... Elvis was the first one to add Drums to the combo of Instruments ...... The film was first titled ...... "Ghost of a Chance" ........ After the song was recorded, it was clear that it was going to be a hit, So the movie was renamed Jailhouse Rock. The single was released in September 1957 ....... "Jailhouse Rock" has one of the most memorable intros in rock history ....... Two guitar chords with snare drum hits ....... The intro last just six seconds ....... But the pattern repeats throughout the verses ....... Establishing a firm musical hook that remains the envy of songwriters ....... ABC television ran a series of educational cartoons called "Schoolhouse Rock" in the '70s. Millions of kids learned about grammar, history, and astronomy from them. The title was a play on this song. Ozzy Osbourne played a heavy metal version in 1987 when he did a tour of prisons. Sha-Na-Na played this at Woodstock in 1969. Very few of the attendees saw their performance, as they didn't go on until Monday morning (the event was scheduled to end at midnight on Sunday, but ran long) ........ In 2007 ....... Chris Rock performed this on the Movies Rock TV special, where modern pop artists performed classic movie songs. Brown re-created Elvis' scene from the movie .........

Loved your reaction very much Elvis was the best friend i ever had in my entire life. we met when i was 17 yrs old. our friendship lasted past that one day in time we were friends for 10 yrs. up until the day he left us. He asked nothing of me and i asked nothing from him he needed a friend and so did i we were that for each other he never judged me and i never judged him. All the memories of my friend are tucked safe in my heart forever. dancing and singing breaks my heart because i know he is not here anymore my mind understands but my heart never will, i saw him a few weeks before he passed we had a short conversation which i will never share again because people are so nasty and comment hurtful heart breaking things they do not know me but they still can't keep their mouths closed about things they know nothing about. I walk past Graceland everyday love from the one and only Memphis Tn. btw fun fact the instruments were cardboard cut outs. and it was all Elvis, no lipsyncing. 1

[@toodlescae]

Elvis did 31 movies. This was from Jailhouse Rock. He sang at least 1 song in all of his movies except one. Charro from 1969 is the only movie where the only music at all was the title song. Elvis knew he only had a contract for a few more movies and he was ready to get back to what he loved..being on stage in front of his fans...so he did the '68 Comeback Special to test the waters and to make sure he could still pull the crowds. By 1970, he had finished all his movies and hit the stage in Vegas before going on tour again.

This is from the 1957 movie, Jailhouse Rock. Elvis was 22, & this dance sequence from the movie is often cited as his "greatest moment on screen." It's always been one of my favorites by EP! Also, Alex Romero was the film's choreographer, but he utilized Elvis' input, and Elvis spent the evening before filming being coached by Russ Tamblyn (Riff in the movie classic, West Side Story), making sure he had all the moves down pat.

[@carolhayar3037]

Maybe if Romero got credit for this people would know the story but he was not given credit & the studio published an apology later in Variety magazine. I think it was intentional because there was a rift between Romero & the studio.
