FIRST TIME HEARING ELVIS PRESLEY - “BRIDGE OVER TROUBLE WATER”

[@pauldark3044]

Before autotune and computers, he is the G.O.A.T

[@catspek]

He still is!

[@LkfRN1993]

Forever.

[@jefferydsmith9966]

In his free time, Elvis sang gospel music most of the time. He loved to hear and sing with gospel groups.

[@lmsossi6501]

I love seeing a new generation recognize how impressive Elvis was when performing. His vocals were always amazing, even when he was near the end of his life. Glad you noticed that he was directing the band; he knew exactly what sound he wanted and when he wanted it and guided the band and backup singers.

[@jennyburns787]

Thank you for reacting to Elvis, enjoyed! Respect for his beautiful talent and performance ❤

[@kerrypapworth1526]

Elvis was beyond great. Hello from Australia.💕🇦🇺

[@PattiSayer81958]

I met him in 1977…he was so nice to me. His voice was one for the ages.

[@MMVDupont]

Amazing!

He directs his own band.

Elvis always the best, beautiful generous soul

[@emerald1805]

Elvis could afford the best, top musicians. He had a full orchestra, rock band, and gospel singers on tour with him. He was the biggest star in the world.

[@betterthanyourname2391]

And he could’ve been much bigger if his greedy manager would’ve let him perform outside of the US. He never wanted elvis to tour other countries.which was a shame.

[@emerald1805]

@@betterthanyourname2391 Actually a LOT of the bad things you’ve heard and that people believe about Col. Parker are simply not true. The outright lies perpetuated in that recent “Elvis” movie are one example. He didn’t actually stop Elvis from touring as people say he did. There were many other factors. I don’t like explaining to other Elvis fans that those “awful colonel” myths are not all factual - but they are mostly untrue. I was in the music business then, and can tell you that Col. Parker was highly respected by everyone in the business & that any other big star would have loved to have had him for their manager. There is a lot of modern revisionist, libelous information being told about Tom Parker since his death.

[@betterthanyourname2391]

@@emerald1805 yea but have you heard his interviews? Especially after elvis died. Just speaks volumes.

[@ruthsimon7035]

ELVIS had a phenomenal vocal range, and how he conducted the band is amazing! ❤ELVIS always the best!❤

[@dekerivers5798]

I think this song and many others would have deserved a Grammy. I could think of at least 10 songs and 5 albums that would have deserved Grammys.

[@VintageLPs]

The album with this same name won Album of the Year for Simon and Garfunkel. Paul Simon said no one sang it better than Elvis!

If you haven't already you should really go down the rabbit hole for Elvis you will not once be disappointed in what you find❤

[@RandyMartin-ff7nb]

Elvis was and still is the greatest entertainer of my time and I'm old enough to have heard a lot of them. Elvis is probably the most underrated singer of his time the only Grammy he won was for gospel music which I'm sure he was so proud of. Sure he starred in some pretty quirky movies but he was always a star no matter if he was on stage or on screen. He was gone way to soon.

[@charlenewebb5893]

God Given Talent Elvis Presley RIP

[@deliajamesonhoover689]

Elvis never disappoints he was the best I saw him in 1977 and he was sick but his voice was stronger and just as beautiful as ever.

[@timjohnson2970]

Elvis live from Honolulu "My Way"

[@catherinepage2676]

Elvis' first love was Gospel. That's how he gets so much feeling in to his songs. He also does most of the arrangements for performances. Try watching some of the rehearsals...

[@cwlindsey2881]

A vocal masterpiece…..👑✌🏻🇺🇸

[@betsyjonex9364]

He had a three octave range. He started in gospel, loved black gospel, went to a black church, and in a racially divided era, hired the black female group of singers called the Sweet Inspirations. The were back up for Aretha Franklin at one time. Another great song was "Walk A Mile in My Shoes" Vegas 1970. Any of his gospel is great. Young Elvis sang "Milky White Way" "Take My Hand Precious Lord" "How Great Thou Art" Thanks, for your great reaction, Be Blessed

[@LkfRN1993]

Saw him twice in concert- unforgettable. No one else has ever come close to him ❤

[@BearStar1]

ELVIS ! Is the King of MUSIC !! A Professor Of Music At Harvard University said that Elvis was such an Extremely Gifted Vocalist because he had Vocal Registers normally found only in Professionally, Voice Trained, Opera singers. He closed his article by saying that Elvis could hit Hi ''G '' Notes that would make a Baritone Opera Singer turn Green with Envy ! Consider the Following.: Elvis could and did Sing Bass, Baritone, 2nd Tenor and 1st Tenor. Also, Elvis successfully sang Rock N' Roll, Jazz, Country, Gospel, Broadway, Blues, And Rhythm and Blues. And Elvis is the only Performer in the History of Recorded Music that is a Member of FIVE Music Halls Of Fame ! Rock 'n Roll , R & B , Rockabilly , Country and Gospel ! Elvis recorded 875 songs! No One else In the History of Recording has ever come close to matching the Versatility, the Vocal Range, and the Number of records Sold over 2.5 Billion Worldwide ! And Elvis holds the record of having the Highest LP Album Sales Worldwide also! 206,800,000 Albums Sold Worldwide !! Elvis gave 1,684 Concerts and over 6,000 Live Performances during his career as a Entertainer Super Star,a astonishing and amazing achievement not surpassed by anyone ! And over 2.5 Billion Records sold Worldwide ! The Highest Selling Single Artist in the History of Recorded Music ! AND the Only Entertainer in the World that is a member of 5 Music Halls of Fame ! Rock 'n Roll, Rockabilly , Country, R & B, and Gospel ! And 21 other Halls of Fame ! That's Why Elvis is the KING of Music !!!

[@rong805]

I think it's really stupid when people get mad about the pausing. On top of the copyright crap, It's called a damn REACTION for a reason. Your reaction to things we, the Elvis-faithful, have heard these songs thousands of times is why we're here! Some people need to chill the f out!

And he does stop at a good point as well, and not too much. I’ve seen some KZbinrs that stop every 5 seconds, which is jarring

[@DonnaShafer-w5i]

Thank you young man for reacting to this. I decided to subscribe to your channel. I’ve been an Elvis fan since I’m five years old. I can remember the first moment I saw him on ed Sullivan. Funny I can never forget that moment. And throughout my life, I was lucky enough to see him live in concert many times, and as I look back aside from family, celebrations and births. Those were probably the best moments of my life. I know that sounds really odd but when I tell you the thrill I felt as a teenager when he walked on that stage was beyond description. I love the man more than I loved the entertainer. He was an extraordinary human being. He obviously had his faults … But such a kind, loving and generous individual. A really fun one to react to would-be bossa nova baby from the movies fun in Acapulco. There is one from the movie and there is a remix which is a little bit longer and shows a lot more of his dance moves but it’s a fun one. God bless you young man and thank you for making my day. As a nurse I see so much ugliness in pain and it was nice to come home to see you and your reaction. Thank you and God bless.

Great Reaction! I’m a new subscriber, watching your Elvis Reactions. I see you have Reacted to Elvis’ Suspicious Minds, in the 1973 Aloha from Hawaii. If you want to see Elvis in full action, which your Elvis fans always love watching, you might like to React to Suspicious MInds Las Vegas 1970 video …. Elvis became famous not only for his incredible singing, but for his impressive movement on stage. In the 1970 Las Vegas dinner concert, you will see Elvis at his best, so energised that it’s amazing he could continue singing, & just when you think he’s too tired to sing anymore, he blasts that beautiful voice out again. It’s a great performance & one that Elvis fans always Love watching & commenting on. None of his movements were choreographed. Elvis’ very athletic body just moved as the music touched him. This 1970 performance during his Las Vegas concert, was included in the latest Elvis movie. You will also see the playful side of Elvis as he interacts with one of his black backup singers in the Sweet Inspirations group.

You should really react to the 68 comeback special in Las Vegas it is a whole long live concert... It was about 9 years before he passed in 1977... You watch this concert and watch him perform live and you'll see why so many people loved him and still do almost 50 years later.... He was the whole package as a performer who really loved his fans❤❤😊

[@MsRhodeman]

I was a baby boomer in the 60s and 70s when Elvis was big and I think the saddest thing about anybody that really loves Elvis's music is that as appreciated and loved as he was in life, people are finding out after his death what a really wonderful person he was and a loving human being he was and learning that a lot of the BS they heard about him was just that BS....❤

Elvis is the GOAT.. end of story.. this song is a cover song of Simon & Garfunkel... it's not a Gospel song.. even though Elvis was the best at singing Gospel also. Elvis could just sing anything and make it perfection. He had the best backup singers I've ever heard, however, Elvis' voice was always more prevalent. You knew he was singing from his soul.. That's why he's the greatest.

Also this was the very first time Elvis sang this song live - Elvis also loved gospel singing, in fact his first singing was in a black church when very young. He also had a gold record or two in the gospel genre.

Elvis could sing the yellow pages & it’d be a top ten hit. Yeah, his roots were in gospel & it carried through much of his music just as it did his life. He worked with a lot of black musicians. He was exposed to a lot or gospel and “the black sound” from an early age. It was just he music genre closest to his heart

[@janstein3857]

[@magnuslofgren2441]

If you like BLUES then listen to: A stranger in my own home town, either the ordinary, or the fun X-rated version (a joke to his father version) Elvis greatest love was GOSPEL that is what he got his only 3 GRAMMY'S for. By the way, do you know that he FAILED in school at music, his grade was a F, he never took leassons, but he sang in church as a child...

[@pjs3950]

No performer ever sang gossip or any song that even related to religion and still drew crowds like he did

[@snakeinthegrass7443]

Not sure if it's been mentioned but the only Grammys Elvis ever got were for his Gospel music. He has many Gospel albums, Christmas albums - you name it. This guy recorded over 700 songs in 20 years - all while serving 2 years in the Army and making 31 Feature films. A lot of songs come from the movies he made. But back to Gospel - I'd love to see you witness him sing How Great Thou Art, live. There are several versions out there. I personally like the one from 77 the best but others will disagree. Any version would be awesome. Elvis was the man when it came to Gospel. He put his heart and soul into every song. I was 9 when he passed so all my experience with him was hearing him on the radio all the time in the 70s and then I didn't pick back up on him til I was in my 30s. But it has been so great to discover this man in the past 20 years. A lot of that discovery came from right here watching reaction channels. I've seen so many videos that I would have never even thought of searching for. INCLUDING THIS ONE! Have a blessed day, friend.

[@MsRhodeman]

Man you gotta check out Praise Jah in the Moonlight this song is going crazy right now Vampire Weekend - Classical really vibey rock band If you want a 🔥🔥 UK drill song to checkout that just dropped Twin S - Word to the Wise. He’s only dropped like 3-4 songs. If you want to check out the vibey trap beat artists of the UK u have to start with D-Block Europe. Some songs to start with from them are Overseas ft Central Cee, Nookie ft Lil Baby, Eagle ft Noizy and Chrome Hearts ft Offset. I compare them to the UK Rae Stremmurd it’s made up of Young Adz and Dirtbike LB. Young Adz is the more standout member but don’t count out LB he goes harddd.
