Elvis was just 35 yo here in 1970 when this was recorded. no one have ever come close what Elvis meant to music. There will be no other like Elvis!! Not only he was so unik in terms of singing and music, but he also was so a giving person, he gave away some 200 or more cadillacs, buying house to his satff or just somebody else, he paid hospital bills for those that had less....he was unique, it will never be a person like him....ever!

As an assistant high school principal, I once had a lady come to my office rip-roaring mad about something that had happened to her daughter. She started her story by saying she would have come by earlier, but was in Memphis touring Elvis' home. I told her I had been there, but the crowd was just too long for me to wait. Anyway, we started to talk about Elvis and the conversation went on well over an hour. She stood up to leave and was shaking my hand and I said "what about your daughter?" She said, "Oh, it was no big deal," and walked out happy with our mixed memories! I just shook my head! The magic of Elvis!

Elvis led a very troubled personal life with failing health in his early 40s. He died at only 42yrs old. The only time he was truly happy was on stage singing to people whom he adored. He was very generous and charitable and never forgot his humble roots. His talent and voice are unmatched.

NOW you know why he was all sweaty. Elvis was very active on stage, incorporating some of his karate (Black Belt) moves into his act along with his dance moves. And as you saw he also had great sense of humor. He was a very deeply religious, generous and humble man and amazingly enough pretty much just a regular guy! That gained him a lot of appeal.

When my beautiful wife was 19 years old, she and her boyfriend at the time, were in line trying to get tickets to see Elvis perform that night at a venue in Lake Tahoe. While they were in line, A large man in a suit approached them and asked my wife if she had a nice dress she could wear, if he got her tickets to the show. She said she did have a peach colored sleeveless gown. So the man explained to them that he is Elvis's assistant and Elvis likes to have pretty women sitting near the stage, so he would get her in. He said to just meet right in front 15 minutes before the show and he would escort them in. So sure enough, later that evening, true to his word, the large man escorted them to a table near the stage. She was very nervous as she had a fake ID, and was sort of shy. Towards the end of the performance Elvis started to sing "Can't Help Falling In Love". he walked over to their table, took my wife by the hand and pulled her on stage and sang the song to her! He then gave her a signed scarf he was wearing. We have that framed in our home... a very special memory for my wife.

[@caomhan84]

I don't want to start a fire in the comments, but I've noticed that when people talk about Elvis these days all they mention is "He stole from black culture" or whatever. And because of social media and its power today, that becomes the story. And that's all the younger generation cares about. It doesn't matter that he still had an incredible voice and incredible charisma and incredible range as a performer. He's shrugged off because of that. And it's a shame.

I love this young women's reaction. As a boy (in 1956-57) I remember going to a friend's house one afternoon to watch The Mickey Mouse Club. People were just then starting to get TVs. My friend had an older sister, age 16-17, and I was amazed to see that she had covered her ENTIRE bedroom (walls, ceiling ! ) with Elvis posters. The mid-late 1950s were when Elvis first "burst upon the scene." I was still a kind of innocent 10 year old white boy. I liked his music, and knew he was "important somehow" but did not come to understand just who he really was until the early 1970s. I did not hear him in person, but I loved his music and saw him on TV. Guys respected him. Women adored him. His song "Caught in a Trap" is all about his love for women. He was pure magic. There was no one else like him.

[@iamthatiam4496]

shockadellick I seriously doubt Elvis’s black belt would be very effective in the condition he was in. And BTW- Karate was quite effective in the 1970s

[@michaelpimentel3002]

@@iamthatiam4496 Sorry, I disagree. Karate isn't as effective as it was in MMA competition but in CQB or H2H combat it still is-- especially when the instructors don't care about "rules" but in survival and it's a fight to the death. And by all accounts, until the last 2 years of his life, Elvis could still handle himself that is if he wanted to kill with his bare hands then he could. Elvis Presley was an 8th degree black belt in karate. He took an interest in karate in 1958 after he was drafted into the Army and stationed in Germany. His first instructor was a German shotokan stylist named Juergen Seydel who taught Elvis at his off-base housing in Nauheim. During his leaves to Paris he would take private lessons with Tetsugio Murakami, one of Japan's top shotokan stylists, who would help pioneer shotokan in Europe. After Presley’s discharge from the army, he would continue his studies and training in karate. Elvis qualified for a 1st degree black belt in 1960 in Memphis with the great Hank Slomanski, a Chito-ryu stylist. The Sergeant Major was one of the first legitimate North American martial arts masters. By the late 1950s, Slomanski was the sensei at Fort Campbell and trained 101st Airborne recruits martial arts. As recorded by STARS AND STRIPES, in the 1950s Slomanski was introduced to Chito-ryu, a Japanese style founded by Dr. Tsuyoshi Chitose. Basically, Chito-ryu is a combination of Goju-ryu and Shorin-ryu karate. He stunned the Japanese karate masters by beating 119 opponents to win a tournament in Japan becoming one of the few non-Japanese to do so. Elvis trained at Fort Campbell with members of the 101st Airborne. For his first fight, he squared off against 4th degree black Sgt Saur. Elvis lost after absorbing a flurry of full contact strikes to his body. He was on his hands and knees but as Slomanski put it: "I saw Elvis slowly get up with that sneer on his face ... then I saw in his eyes what we usually see only in war: Elvis wanted to kill! As the two men once again clashed I stepped in to break Elvis and Sgt Saur apart but I found out what I wanted to know. The kid was a fighter - not a quitter. Also Sgt Saur would comment that they would occasionally have a beer after training, but he and Elvis never became friends. As a rule Elvis rarely drank, but he made an exception to sit down and have a beer with the boys.” There was no favoritism involved. Elvis was awarded his coveted black belt after six weeks of persistent suffering inflicted by Hank Slomanski and the 101 Airborne recruits and future Rangers and Green Berets. In the end, Elvis became only one of a handful of civilians to whom Slomanski, a karate champion and later the future International Commissioner of Karate in the United States, awarded a "Black Belt". Slomanski rose through the ranks to end his military career as a Command Sergeant Major, having served in airborne infantry, ranger (commando), and special forces units. His gravestone at Arlington National Cemetery indicates Slomanski served in combat in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. He was awarded three Purple Hearts, one Silver Star, and a Bronze Star for his exceptional leadership as well as injuries sustained while serving in the War. Hank Slomanski was chosen as one of the elite representatives of the original Special Forces established by President John F. Kennedy. He retired from the Army sometime in the mid 1960s.

But Elvis told them that "His Girl's" ,, as He called Them,, would be there on stage with Him or He would not perform/play...!! And that was the end of that,,.. 'The Sweet Inspirations' were there and nothing else was ever mentioned about "His Girl's" in a negative manner around Him..!!

[@claryprince2499]

Yes Sir if I'm not mistaken the 'Sweet Inspirations' were hired to perform with Elvis in the "68" Comeback Special' and were with Him as He started back doing live performances..!!

[@doctitan2112]

@@claryprince2499 actually the Comeback Special was filmed in June of 1968 and aired in December of 1968. He hired the Sweet Inspirations when he decided to perform live again. He hadn't performed live in 8 years when he opened at the International Hotel in Las Vegas on July 31 1969 for a 4 week engagement. So he hired The Sweets almost a year after the Comeback Special. Btw, the actual title was "Singer presents Elvis" It was an NBC special sponsored by Singer (the sewing machine company) only later did it become known as "The Comeback Special"

[@claryprince2499]

Yes Sir,, but 'the Sweet Inspirations' were on atleast one of the songs on the '68 Comeback Special'..I believe,, or it could have been His last 'Hollywood flick' with Mary Tyler Moore,, I believe it was a high strung gospel song Friend,, ill research an find out..

How he could move like that and still sing good I'll never know! Love him

[@cheryllblanton6758]

I miss Elvis! He was too cool

[@daveeller9708]

Elvis was a black belt in karate and often incorporated it into his performances. I had the good fortune to see him in Houston in 1974. An amazing singer performer.

[@usafcombatcontroller5360]

My grandfather served in the Army with Elvis and they became friends. We have a lot of pictures with him and Elvis together, and one letter that Elvis wrote to grandad after my great grandmother died.

[@dallasbagley]

Wow, how cool is that? Seems that Elvis gave his love to everyone.

[@rennnyyy]

Would you believe my father showed up on the same base right after he left. Heard nothing but great things about him, the guys who served with him seemed to really love him.

[@usafcombatcontroller5360]

@@dallasbagley Yep. Grandad said Elvis was just a typical fun loving kid, really goofy, friendly, happy, and never talked bad about anyone. What stuck out in his mind about Elvis was his generosity, even at that young age he had a huge heart for poor people, he really felt compassion for people on a deep level.

[@usafcombatcontroller5360]

@@rennnyyy Yeah, he was a likeable person, very genuine, from what I've heard. I have a picture of Elvis on my grandparents farm chopping wood with grandad, I think it was 'in 69 or '70, and another pic with Elvis sleeping on my grandparents couch with their dog, the fame never went to his head apparently.

[@wendellbeverly6060]

Wow!! I knew your grandparents because I lived on a farm beside them and I remember when Elvis came to there house a couple times!! I won't say y'all's name but they lived in pigeon forge and your grandad was a big man about six foot nine, right?? There dog's name was King and he was a white German Shepard?

[@sterlingarcher8441]

Never heard Elvis then... One minute 40 seconds and KNOWS he is a legend..

Yeah, it's apparent when someone possesses a high level of greatness. You get that same impression when watching other artists such as Prince, Michael Jackson , and honestly... Even Lady Gaga, and maybe one day, Billie Eilish.

[@steelbat54]

So nice to see that this beautiful man made a wonderful impression on you. Yes, a beautiful man if I do say so myself. And believe me. Many a straight man has looked at him in awe. His moves were completely natural. He could never keep his legs still. He was also a black belt in karate which made him more flexible. ....and yes, I was blessed to have seen him in concert, New Years Eve, 1976. Glad you enjoyed ..

[@disturbedphilosopher605]

Best reaction ever, Elvis was not only the king of rock n roll, but he was also the king of cool. And a black belt.

He was and still is the King. He had the looks, the moves the charisma. Watch his movies when he was young and see his beauty

How awesome was he???? Back in ancient times, when there were only 3 TV channels, a big deal was made with the TV big wigs and they did a live concert and casted it all over the world live! I remember as a kid with 30 people in the house for that. It was like that everywhere!

For the fame he had I am surprised he lasted as long as he did. People use your fame to get what they want so probably gave him stuff in drinks or telling him it was something else to keep him going.
