Elvis Presley - "Swing Down, Sweet Chariot" (1968/69) [HD]

[@pjk9056]

As Quentin Tarrantino wrote for “True Romance” “a man can think Elvis is beautiful and not be gay”. He was a masterpiece!!!

Critics gave him a hard time about his movies. We didn't care we LOVED this man. Most talented ever.

I mean the movies were sht. Blame the studios for that move.

[@TracyTidewater41009]

The movies weren’t great, but Elvis was great in them.

[@LCox-dt6fy]

And that’s why we still listen to him today.

[@E3ECO]

You can see Elvis's love of gospel in this number. I've got a feeling he just kept going when the director tried to cut.

[@brandonayong5823]

Also he always wanted part of a quartert so this must have been his dream scene

[@johntuite7917]

I remember as a 10 year old sitting up in the middle of the night with my late dad watching the Elvis Aloah from Hawaii concert that was beamed around the world. Something I'll never forget & I'm in my 60's now and still as big a fan as I was growing up in the 60's. Only one Elvis, often imitated but never equalled & never will be...

[@dakotawilliams1118]

Elvis sings this song with a musical group The Mellowmen. The deep, bass voice heard vocalizing is Thurl Ravenscroft, and the original voice of Tony the Tiger, the singer behind “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Ginch.” He was also the voice of Kirby the vacuum in “The Brave Little Toaster” and did a bunch of other voices for Disney. You can see him in the far right in shots of Elvis and the Bible group on stage.

[@jamellfoster6029]

Elvis truly had an amazing voice. He actually died 2 years before I was born but my Mom and uncle introduced me to him as a kid and I have been listening to him probably 35 years now...

[@a.c.bernardo3527]

The same here...and I will listen to Elvis for eternity!❤

[@ibazulic]

He's amazing in this scene. Really amazing.

[@LeonAllanDavis]

Imagine; the only Grammy Elvis ever won was for his album of Gospel songs. I'm sure he's making God smile at this very moment.

[@MrAlanfalk73]

Yes that was a big mistake! But we also have to remember that the Grammy award first was introduced in 1958 after some of his most creative years. He still got 3 Grammys; 1 for the 67 album How great thou art, 1 for the 71 album He Touched Me and 1 for the live performance in 74 of the song How great thou art. But in 70 he also got a liftime achivement Grammy award at the young age at 36 , that was amazing in itself.

[@LeonAllanDavis]

Alan Falk Thanks for that. Good information I didn't know. Something I was surprised to discover is that Elvis didn't make it overnight. It took a couple years of life on the road. I'd always thought he was an instant hit.

[@MrAlanfalk73]

+Leon Davis Yes it took a little while, but from what I have read he was a big hit in the south pretty fast, however he needed a bigger record label to break through in the whole contry. That is why , when he went from SUN records to RCA he had an instant nr 1 hit (Heartbreak Hotel ) with the very first single he released there.

[@LeonAllanDavis]

Alan Falk I learned that from an interview given by the drummer...forgot his name...not really up on it that much. But when Elvis started out, he didn't have a drummer...just the upright base. As I recall, they traveled all over. Up into New York and into the midwest. The breakthrough moment was during the first Sun session when Elvis cut loose with "That's Alright Mama" while he was fooling around during a break. The Colonel, like they say in the South "jumped on that like a chicken on a June bug".

[@MrAlanfalk73]

+Leon Davis "Jumped on that like a chicken on a June bug" LOL I have never heard that expression before. The drummer was D.J.Fontana, he often said that when he was drumming for Elvis he immagined he was drumming for a stripper, meaning he had to underline Elvis' moves White his drumming. By the way, if you are interested, ,then there are quite a few really great documentaries about Elvis' carreer on KZbin. Just write "Elvis documentary " and then you will get around 20 different to chose among. I really like the one called "I sound like nobody" .

[@Pippa-tf8je]

[@c.ostriker5572]

@@erinmarie99 No, not at all. I simply don't put Elvis Presley on an unrealistic pedestal with rose colored lenses, while being able to appreciate his talent with a much more BALANCED view. He was good but in reality there were far too many other ARTISTS who actually wrote, sung, composed and contributed to producing their own music who had VERY exceptional voices. Presley was a good singer but I've heard better and I will just leave it there. We can agree to disagree. Stay safe 🙏.

Sandra Miller Your joking right. His signature hit Hound Dog, was first recorded by Big mama thornton (A black woman) who got no credit for her song for decades. Presley’s version of the song Trouble, sounds a lot like Muddy Waters Hootchie Coochie Man. There's a difference between being influenced by someone and straight up stealing their work.
