Elvis is the most emotional enterpreter of THE WORLD'S songbook that has evet existed

[@williamthornell8051]

And that song had never been released to the public. And they released it 2 days after his passing. Most beautiful heartbreaking song. He is missed .

What could the man NOT do? The world that has yet to discover his greatness has absolutely no idea what they have missed out on.

[@karynnpoole9217]

Hey...just wanted to say,...im So Greatful that you found out how Great of a Man Elvis is! I love him, even tho I didn't listen to him as a kid. Elvis pass over when I was 12 yrs old...and I remember my Mom telling about it. I never knew what was so great about him,...then in my 20s I started listening to his music, qnd I fell in love with his voice, then watching him, I saw how Sexy he was, he's funny, charming , and so loving and generous! Watching things about his life, I he touched my heart. I have Nothing Ever bad to say about him. Hes Gorgeous, with beautiful Soul, and voice. Yes he is a gift from God! He was spiritual and wanted to learn everything about God. He did what things here on this earth to please God, and he followed what God wants from us...to love others as you love yourself. ❤ thank you for giving him the Live and Respect he deserves. 💕

Elvis could do whatever he wanted, and do it better than anyone else. It's that simple.

[@p.j.morris]

When God created my friend Elvis he was just showing off. I can't tell you how much i love and miss him, there is not a day that goes by that i don't think of him and all the memories we made in 10 short years, his death knocked the wind out of me i have never been the same since, Elvis was the big brother i never had. He is also my guardian angel. Graceland is my go to place when it get's to hard to live w/o my friend i go there and walk around and remember Elvis and all the beautiful times we had together. He was the only person in my life that understood me and cared about my feelings and opinions. What it comes down to is we both needed a true friend and we were that for each other. Awesome reaction Ray God bless you and your family from the one and only Memphis Tn.

I've never heard an Elvis song before where Elvis speaks throughout and only sings on the last line! He was such a great performer, such an emotional speaking voice. Isn't it great that he was always keen to showcase his backing singers, giving them time to shine. He was never jealous of their talent and was happy to share his spotlight with them.

One of the Stamps Quartet I'd singing, while Elvis tells the story

[@sandralybrand9425]

This one gets to me, because just before my husband died, I crawled into bed with him and held him. I told him it was okay to go. I told him I Love you, with his last breath he said I love you. Then he passed on. I had been up with him for 2 days and nights watching him struggle for breath. He died at home like I promised him. The oxegon machine kept his organs going and our 6 children and 3 grands all came to say their goodbyes. I didn't tell them he was already gone. They thought he just was in a coma. My son was hysterical when he came in as I was turning off the oxygen machine and asked what I was doing. I told him daddy's gone. Hospice was on their way to get him. They knew he was gone that morning,but knew the family needed that closure. I will always be grateful for their kindness. We are a big family and he was the center of our world, and it's never been the same! Every weekend our house was full of kids and grandkids and laughter. Now, it's a shell and too quiet.

Thanks Ray, Elvis had a loving heart and knew loss himself, some say his mothers death changed him forever. He also was lonely himself, even though they would loved him and would have given anything to be with him. And of course he always felt guilty for having life when his twin brother died. Thanks Ray.

We had Elvis plates on the wall surrounding the kitchen and Elvis rugs hanging on the walls. Lol ❤😂 Please react to Elvis..A Generous Heart the short version and Elvis..King of Kindness. Elvis was a true & passionate man, singer & a beautiful soul!!! There were so many layers of greatness as in talented, love for others, God & life.

Elvis always captivated his audience, or the people who was around him for any reason! Elvis had that special gift that people loved so much, he truly loved everyone, he always gave back whatever he could because that's who he was, if you we're in need, he took care of it with no questions asked! The sad part about it is that some took advantage of his kindness and took if for weakness! Shame on them, I can only hope they have paid for the greed they kept in their heart!

[@magnuslofgren2441]

Rays dream, or reality!!! I am making a reaction to an Elvis song, Elvis is completely absorbed by the song. Suddenly I hears a woman's voice that I recognizes saying: I met him once when I was little, I look around, but I don't see anyone. I continue listening to the song, but can't really concentrate, then I hear a man's voice he recognizes saying: He was a good friend of mine, I really appreciate your tribute to my friend, I paid tribute to him with my version of: Love me tender. I look around a little annoyed, I ask my little helper to stop messing with ME, I don't see anyone else there. Then I start the video again, I start to listening again, everything is fine and I can focus a little more again, but suddenly it happens again, although now I hear a man's voice that I definitely recognize saying: Thank you for honoring my life's work and for having such a wonderful sense of humor, you make people happy and proud of both me and the honor of listening to you Ray. I gets up and shakes a little, I look around, I look to my right and suddenly I realize that the voices weren't coming from there, they were coming from the left side. I sit down and shake my head thinking, I'm going crazy, but I intend to play the whole video to the end, although shaken up, I start the video, but I can't let go of the voices completely. My mind goes back and forth, I know who it was, I recognize both the first and second voices, I know for sure who the third was, but it can't be like that, can it? Nah, stop now Ray, you're probably just tired, or stressed out, the video is running, I realize that I mumble my thoughts out loud, not silently to myself as I thought. Suddenly i start to shiver and shake a bit, what is going on here, am I nuts? Then the female voice and the first male voice simultaneously say: Now wake up Ray, we want to meet you, you're one of our heroes, although you should be reacting to our songs too, not just his. The third voice then says: Ray is a hero to me for sure, but I think he loves you guys just as much, the only thing is… the voice trails off and I look around, I am getting really annoyed, I am wondering what's going on. Then I hear a knock and jump up, I run to the door and open it, I am a bit annoyed and roar loudly: What the hell... then I see who knocked and I just stand there silent and stare. There is a limousine there with an open door, the person half-half shoves me into the limousine and sits down and drives, I sit and just shakes my head, I hope I'm dreaming, or I'm crazy. I must be dreaming, I tell himself, this isn't happening, it isn't happening. Suddenly the car stops and the door opens, we are outside the Arcade restaurant in Memphis, but the driver is gone. I walk in and a waitress takes me towards a table, there are people sitting in the dark, almost no lights are on right in here, that is strange, why are they sitting in the dark, I can see the table and their shadows clearly, how is that possible. I stand beside the only free chair, there are four people sitting there, but I don't see who they are, I'm very excited, what is this, is this a fu... joke, what the .... One of the employees there suddenly turns on the light and I stagger and look around in a daze, I can see that the place is empty, but wait I'm facing the wrong way, so I slowly turn around. When I turn a little more towards the table, I can see a beautiful woman that intently recognize, she is saying hello Ray, I stutter out a Hello, hello, annoyed at repeating myself. I continue the movement towards the table as if in slow motion, I undoubtedly recognize the man sitting there and I stutter out another hello, the man says hello and smiles back at me. I stop in my tracks, what's going on, I rub my eyes, can it be true, yes it is because I can now see Whitney Houston sitting on the first chair, on the second is Mr. Soul James Brown sitting. Now I'm almost completely facing the table and I can clearly see who the driver of the limo was and yes it is him, one of my personal biggest superheroes, he is saying hi Ray and he is smiling broadly, Eminem is smiling towards me. I begin to twist some more and the reason I suddenly come to a complete stop, it's obvious to anyone who knows me why, because the driver is indeed Eminem and I am struggling to find myself, I stare at all three as if I'm hypnotized. All three of them smiles at me and someone say that they are hoping that I would want to meat them and maybe jam a little with them and their friend later on. I don't know where to look anymore, but then my feet finally lands in direction of the last place at the table and I just stare at him, I am shaking my head, the hair on my entire body is standing up at this time, I'm getting very confused and happy at the same time now, I feel some tears running down my cheeks, but it's happy tears. The man standing in front of me and shaking my hand is a young Elvis Presley, I'm about to fall over, but both Elvis and Eminem hold me up and they help me to sit down. They manage to get me Ray, or as Elvis whispers : sit down Relvis... so I actually manages to sit down and they all talk with me for probably an hour Then Elvis says: Relvis do you want to jam with us, or just dine with us, I stutter out a yes I would LOVE that and suddenly we are in a studio singing a few songs together. We are going through a couple of Whitney's songs, then we play some of James' songs and then some of Eminem's, we finish with some of Elvis' songs. Several hours have passed since we met and we decide to do this again, but only as long as I continue my positive reaction way, how do they know how I do my thing, am I dreaming, or is this real. Elvis are looking deep in my eyes with his blue eyes, Ray just has to play some of your songs sometimes to. I promise to do what I have started to do and I am dazed and slap my own cheeks to wake up, even though I don't want to wake up, it hurts so I realize that I am awake, it's all real. Eminem drives me home and he tells me that in a few days time you and your family will go with me to record a song together. When we all will jam next, well then I will come and get you again, then he drops me of and hands me a gift. At home I sit down in a daze and think of what have happened, I can't believe it happened and then I see the present that I got from Eminem with a autograph on it. Dazed I go to sleep and I hold on to the gift that I got, in the morning I both can see and feel the gift and I slowly understand that it all happened. Then I start to consider that it will happen again because Eminem said so, just for me being myself and keeping my own fans happy and that I keep the memories of the stars alive, now I can call them my personal friends to, talk about being in happy ZONE for the rest of my life.

[@vikkigiles2977]

Wow, that was a different reaction. I cried ……. It was beautiful. That’s why Elvis is the best, the different emotions he makes you feel when he performs 💙 I am forever gutted that I wasn’t around to witness Elvis’ time on earth. I was 2 when he died.

[@irisheyes7815]

Thank you Ray, a very emotional song which will affect anyone who has lost or has someone they can’t bear to be gone. My mummy went to work happy and healthy and never came home. She became unwell and passed away at her desk. My daddy got there just before she passed, held her hand and talked to her, begging her to stay. I often wonder could she hear him and what would she have said to him if she could answer him. This song says everything and I like to think she wouldve been trying to comfort him with words similar to these lyrics. Rest in eternal peace mummy.❤️

[@sammy_the_uncool2702]

I don't know what to say. Honestly, this was a very beautiful reaction Ray, very beautiful 🌻💖 You just don't listen to the music, you let it enter your soul. You got soul, Ray. Sherrill "Shaun" Neilson was the tenor voice you heard singing. He was the original tenor of The Imperials. Before then, he was a member of one of Elvis's favorite Gospel groups, The Statesmen Quartet (back in the 1950's). He also sang with other gospel groups, such as The Songfellows and The Speer Family and the Master V. The Imperials first sang with Elvis in the studio in 1966 for his second Gospel album "How Great Thou Art"- which is a BEAUTIFUL album. So many songs on there made me cry and I am not a cryer and I do not consider myself a religious person. But Elvis singing Gospel is different. Anyway, Elvis had tremendous respect for all those that worked with him, and that went too for Sherrill "Shaun" Neilson, whom Elvis called "The Voice". Sherrill had his first name legally changed to Shaun later on in his life and career. He has his own music catalogue too, his first solo record having been released in 1965 (I think). Sherrill "Shaun" Neilson, aka The Voice, died of cancer in December of 2010. And Elvis was right, this song is old (though not as old as all that when he performed this song) it was actually originally an Italian song composed by Tony De Vita and the lyrics written by Giorgio Calabrese in 1950. Hal Shaper heard the song and decided to put English lyrics to it in 1962. The original Italian version was/ is simply titled "Softly". Now here is the interesting part: The story that Elvis told in the beginning was of doubtful authenticity. According to Wikipedia, and mind you while it is a good jumping off point for further research, it is not always the most reliable for information: "However some Presley insiders claim that his explanation for the song was merely an example for Presley's flair for storytelling, so his explanation is most likely apocryphal. Presley said he heard the story from "some people in Florida"." Whether Elvis first heard the prefacing story from some others first and decided to include it in his performance for this song or whether Elvis came up with this story himself, I don't know. I say that because in my research I have found Elvis would sometimes pass off credit to someone else for some element or idea he implemented on a recording or in a song during a live performance. He just let Steve Scholes for instance take the credit for producing some of his 1950's stuff once he signed onto RCA. But as those who were actually there in the studio said, "Steve Sholes had never worked with a Rock 'n' Roll singer. He had never produced a Rock 'n' Roll record." DJ Fontana, Elvis's drummer at that time said in an interview, "The producers on those recordings were just clockwatchers. Elvis knew what he wanted and while he didn't always know how to get it out, he always managed to get it out and communicate it to us." Fun Fact: "Heartbreak Hotel" wasn't actually recorded in the studio. The echo effect you hear on the original 1956 recording was because Elvis had the idea of recording the song in the hallway outside of the studio room to reproduce that echo effect that Sam Phillips and Sun Records were so known for. That was all Elvis. Steve Sholes did do some production. Like on "I Want You, I Need You, I Love You". But that is a story in and of itself and I don't want to make this too long. I am so sorry this another long comment 🌷💜 Eek! THANK YOU SO MUCH MISS CATHERINE & THANK YOU RAY FOR THIS MOST BEAUTIFUL REACTION 💜🌹💙💐💜🌹💙💐💜🌹💙💐 TCB ⚡ & TLC ❤ & peace ✌& blessings 🙏 to you & yours & to one & all here as well 💕 Edit: Elvis performed this song as you heard it here on December 13, 1975 during the Midnight Show at The Las Vegas Hilton. It had been on a private cassette recording for 5 years until RCA released it in March of 1978, several months after Elvis's death. It was released on the B- side of "Unchained Melody" originally in March 1978.

This sounds like when my Dad passed here at home with all of us around him. We each had alone time with him before he went. I told him that my daughter was coming and he hung on until she got here. After she came out of the room we all gathered in the room and outside the door while he passed away while Mom held his hand while laying beside him in one side and my son holding his hand on the other side. That was only the 3rd time in his life I had ever seen my son break down in tears. Now I'm really going to cry when I hear this song again.

[@lorrigaines4902]

Wow…just wow. I’ve never heard this before. I immediately began to cry as this took me back 12 years ago to the day I lost my husband. He was 54 years young when he suffered and died from cancer. We spent his last 3 days in the hospital, the last 24 hours in a hospice house. He was in so much pain as we arrived by ambulance to the hospice house. I was so ready for him to be free of pain from the cancer in his brain. The nurse administered the pain med and for the first time in 3 days he was finally and completely free of pain. In the moment this took place, I had not considered that I would never hear him laugh again. I would never see his beautiful blue eyes again. I would never hear him say ‘I love you’ again…and he told me this every day of our lives together. Knowing Kyle, my husband, he would have written these very words to me if he could have. He always tried to spare my suffering during his illness. He was such a wonderful man. I still miss him so much!!! I thank God for you being the catalyst that brought this story to me. Ray, I know you accept the memorabilia that your fans send to you with an open heart. They are passing the baton to you so that younger generations can continue to hear Elvis and appreciate his beauty. That’s all they want in return for sharing their hearts with you.

Even though the world can feel so cold ...the softness and warmth of his voice felt like I was wrapped in a warm blanket .

@@susyq810 I don't mind in the least that you sent it to Ray, Miss Susy Q 🌻😊 I get what you mean about forgetting to breathe when Elvis sings a song a certain way. No lie, when Elvis sings the word "signed" the way he does in "Love Letters" I too forget to breathe, and scrunch my face up, and clutch my throat and shake my head like, "Whhooooppphhh!" The feels, dear Lord, the FEELS. How he did that, I don't know. I think maybe Elvis had a kind of musical intuition. He was just able to tap into this thing inside of him that most don't even know they have. Anyway, you're sincerely welcome Miss Susy Q 💖💐💕

Love it

Elvis wasn’t the one singing, he was only talking the versus’s of the song. He only sung towards the end.

Ray, you are so great with all your reactions to Elvis. It's wonderful to see the love you have for him. Keep those reactions actions coming! 😊

[@michaelmcgrath9933]

Wow 😢 x

[@robbiejenkins4379]

Awesome reaction as usual R'Elvis

[@TyrsPaladium]

We ALL wanted to be there. We still do. Imagine if Elvis was alive and still performing??? Name one stadium that he could not fill. There is not a stadium in the world that could hold all of the people that still want to see this man. He’s long gone, but never forgotten. They’ll be listening to him 2000+ years from now teaching about him in schools like they teach about Bach.

Soooo sad. 😞

[@lisadee.]

Elvis doesn't actually sing this song; he speaks the words while his backing tenor Sherrill Nielsen sings it. EP's one recorded version of this song was a bootleg made by a fan at the Las Vegas Hilton show on December 13, 1975. RCA was later able to release it commercially in March 1978, and it now appears on the boxed set of "Walk A Mile In My Shoes:The Essential 70's Masters."
