your getting into elvis rabbit hole, he can sing anything and his vocals are outstanding what is unique with elvis is he can sing 8 to 10 different song and his voice will be different on each one but you will still say thats Elvis.

You can tell the reaction Elvis has by just watching her smile when the song starts, Asia's smile says it all

[@alvaliquet6795]

For someone that God blessed with so much gift and talent, Elvis was humble, had a loving giving soul and a Spirit that loved the Lord! He was human and when they called him the King, he said there is only one King, Jesus! Gotta love Elvis and praise Jesus!

the greatest, no more words needed

[@gretacarrick5934]

I love to watch people’s faces when they hear a song for the first time. But with Elvis I can’t help but watch him even if I have seen it a hundred times!!! That’s charisma!

[@mistyanderson4567]

Elvis was definitely a great throb. I knew that at a very young age😆

[@gerryweed7697]

The King forever 😎👍🎸✨

[@alanpeterson2091]

The story has it that his song "If I Can Dream" was a tribute to Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Supposedly, he was told not to sing this song during this performance, but he did anyway and you can see his passion. This would be a good choice for your next Elvis song.

[@Seanryan2001]

Elvis was really effected by the murder of MLK in his home town of Memphis. He wanted to end the 1968 Special with a message song to reflect the times of that year and got songwriter Walter Earl Brown to write the song. Brown used MLK 1963 'I had a dream' speech to create the right song. When Elvis listened to the demo he knew THAT was the song to end the TV Special. His manager Colonel Parker didn't want Elvis to record the song for its political content but Elvis for once, overruled The Colonel.

[@AriesGirlTAROT]

YOUNG Elvis was great to see, this was young enough that he was still IT. Loved it, thank you.❤‍🔥

[@LadyGator1983]

Asia, have you ever been able to see Elvis‘s face close enough to notice the quiver he makes with his lips? His daughter Lisa Marie has the same lips!

[@joevoshalike7114]

Elvis was the king, try his song Loving you. It was one of his older ones.

[@deniseperryman2814]

Elvis the greatest entertainer that ever lived and no one will ever come close to Elvis I’ve been an Elvis fan for 60yrs and he was the most beautiful man ever he was such a warm-hearted person so kind and he adored his fans He was also a very religious man he read the Bible every day and his gospel songs are just beautiful with him growing up in the Ghetto he loved to go to the gospel church as a young boy and he loved the blues music if you haven’t reacted to Suspicious Minds you simply must do it you’ll be blown away Love 💕 from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👑👑👑🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🎸🎸🎸🥰🥰👋

Great comments. Elvis was the most charasmatic performer the world has ever seen. Check out Polk Salad live and his 1968 comeback special.

[@suechristenberry1465]

This was beautiful, Thanks guys, all of his songs from the Comeback Special was good, How about You gave me a Mountain by Elvis.

[@terwya]

This was from his 1968 TV comeback special which was a huge success and I watched as a then 18 year old. His final Song in the special if you want to listen to it was If I can Dream. He was so effected by MLK's and two months later Robert F Kennedy both assassinated that year. A song was written for him to honor MLK, you can see and hear the emotion in this song. His Manager and the producers didn't want him to do the song on TV, but he insisted which in those times was a brave thing to do.

[@bikerbud3903]

"If I can Dream" live from his Comeback Special. Tribute to MLK Jr. He pours his heart into that performance

It was very lonely for him. Couldn't go anywhere. If he wanted to to the movies he would have to rent the whole place. Same for theme parks. He always wondered why God chose him to be Elvis. He was very spiritual.

[@nativepapi6818]

I'm 64 and been a fan of his all my life, I grew up on blues and elves , that's what my grandpapi listen too. One of his favorite singers was James brown. James and elvis were very close friends they called each other there soul brother. James did a tribute song for elvis after he passed away. It's called James brown sings love me tender tribute to Elvis. James stayed by Elvis's casket for four hours after Elvis's service at Graceland. It's a wonderful tribute from one brother to another. Check it out I think you'll like it. You too Rock. Peace God bless.

Top notch performer , singers today try to do what he' did to generate enthusiasm in the audience there was a reason he was called the King

One thing if you want to hear more Elvis his first love was gospel music . Many of these great songs are only on vinyl with the exception of peace in the valley Ed Sullivan show 57 and how great thou art 72 and 77. Although there are gospel songs in elvis on tour documentary 72 Try listening to these first

[@richardeidemiller6739]

This performance sums up the charisma and talent of this man perfectly. Truly an original. Vicki

[@michaela8706]

Excellent reaction y'all. Gotta love me some Elvis. This song really shows off Elvis' pipes. Story on this performance. It was rom the 1968 comeback special. It was his first live performance since he got out the Army. Elvis was nervous and worried that being out for so long, he wondered how the public would react to him. Even though he was doing movies the whole time. The special was a big hit. He still had it. He closed the special with the song "If I Can Dream". Gotta do it next. Very powerful. And maybe try to hit up on some of Elvis' Gospel songs. He does a mean rendition of "Crying In The Chapel" and "Amazing Grace". P.S. Yes, Elvis was in the Army. They offered him a deferment, but Elvis refused. He did not want any special treatment.

[@AllglorytoGod1-c7o]

Y’all, Elvis had tremendous energy and said he just did what came natural to him and let his body move 🙏🏻💗🕊

T-R-O-U-B-LE there’s a lot of covers sung today but Elvis first recorded it in 1975.

My word. I would have passed out cold. So much fun to watch. You can’t take your eyes off him. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Give Elvis' version of Steamroller Blues a listen, and if you want to see his range, try his live version of How Great Thou Art a shot.

[@flickdasher1775]

are you trying to put them off him? most of the 70s elvis stuff was bad but, steamroller is outstandingly bad. 'never been to spain' may be worse but, it's close. i had all the 70s stuff and the only album i don't regret buying is 'that's the way it is'.

[@garygoodman4342]

[@manolo5119]

There are people who have no idea and taste, thats one of them

[@bradhuskers]

@@flickdasher1775 Actually? You are dead wrong. Sure some of his recordings were not up to his standard of greatness. But the majority were. In fact, it's YOU who doesn't understand a great recording from a mediocre one. For example, because you lack intelligence, you'd call "green green grass of home" a bad recording, but in reality, it's critically acclaimed. You'd call "until it's time for you to go" a bad recording, but it's an essential classic. I give numerous examples of critically acclaimed recordings from 70. Thru 77. So it's your perspective that's the faulty one here. And since I've studied this subject longer than you've been alive, you are at an extreme disadvantage here.

[@flickdasher1775]

@@bradhuskers wow. you know my age and level of intelligence? are you uri geller? i said some of the 70s stuff was good but, i wouldn't include the two you mention. why?because they are covers and all elvis does with them is replace buffy's and tom's voice with his own. songs like 'kentucky rain', 'always on my mind', 'separate ways' and 'the wonder of you'' show 70s elvis at his best. 'until it's time for you to go' is a waste of elvis's talent as are 'there goes my everything' 'i'm leavin'' 'don't cry daddy' and 'my boy'. these are songs more suited to older, more limited singers than elvis. btw, an opinion can't be wrong!

[@charlesbunch8383]

His last girfriend Ginger Alden said she has special memories of Trying to Get to You.

[@ColoradoHiker]

He had stage presence like no other. You should check out 1956 performance of "hound dog" on the Ed Sullivan show. I think it was his first TV appearance. You can't really grasp the effect of Elvis until you hear the women in the audience react to it. Nobody was doing anything like what he was doing at the time.

[@Seanryan2001]

Elvis really shows his vocally ability on this performance, brilliant version. Worth listening to the 1955 studio version. Elvis' voice was much higher then. A classic recording from his legendary Sun recording sessions.

[@teddtarr]

Even as a 10 year old kid in early '56, when Elvis first made the national scene ( he had been fairly well known in the South for a couple of years before that, based mainly on his Sun Studio recordings), it was obvious to me that this guy was something special, & by that summer, w/ records like Hound Dog & Don't Be Cruel, I was a a full- blown fan ( albeit, a pint-sized one). My family thought I had lost my mind, but knew that trying to dissuade/discourage me was an exercise in futility. I don't think any of us honestly believed he would reach the meteoric level of fame that he did. Then he got drafted, & lost his authenticity as a performer ( mediocre material & a long run of what could only be described as "schlocky" movies). It was over, but it was sure fun while it lasted.
