Because when I woke this morning no one had taken a way my right to freedom of speech. I look forward now to your reply.

You've got all the same rights pal, however as you only have negative comments on Elvis, I just wonder why you look at these clips in the first place. Is it just for the sake of pissing Elvis fans off? Although there is a question mark, do not feel forced to answer.

You're so right. I didn't get Elvis when I was younger. But, now that I'm 51, I totally get Elvis. I may not listen to his songs often. But, I get it now.

[@2yoyoyo1Unplugged]

He sang this and wrote this because the love of his life was gone from his life, he knew she would never come back, but he didn’t blame her because he knew in the end his own folly drove her away. This was his tragic, sorrowful “i’m sorry, this is what I wish could have been.” This was the song he chose to make his swansong.

[@karlarowe1447]

My husband saw him live in Baltimore MD. The end of May 1977.he was sick.he came on stage late and had to leave half way thru the performance.he returned 30 min.later and played piano for a while.he did this song blue Christmas and others.he gave the fans their money's worth.he said he did not weigh the 250 lbs.stomach a little big but.not fat.

[@SayItAintSo4real]

​@2yoyoyo1Unplugged he didn't actually write the song, but yes, he was singing it to the love of his life, for sure. The Rightous Brothers, with the solo sung by Bobby Hatfield, made the song popular in 1965. But it was written for the movie "UNCHAINED" in 1955 and sung by Todd Duncan as the theme song.

[@Henderson_gal08]

Elvis was suffering from an enlarged heart emphysema a bad liver and this beautiful man wanted so much to entertain his fans. There will never be anyone like him again a true king of rock n roll.

[@grooveygranda713]

I went to see the movie last Yr and can tell you, I'm not 1 for showing emotion ever. But when Austin butler started this song and cut to elvis, I was bloody in tears. Thank god room was dark. For 20 mins after I left cinema I was so choked I couldn't speak. It took me back to the night news came in he died and this version was played on radio. I'm 65 and shocked that this man can still have that affect on someone who never met him. There was a day he wasn't out of the news or not in a paper in magazine. Yet ironically a lot of newspapers put his passing somewhere around page 5

[@chuckragland9972]

The fact that Elvis could do a performance less than 2 months before his death that has people amazed 47 years after his passing, is the ULTIMATE evidence of his greatness!!

[@royandval3395]

He was entirely messed up from medication and was literally in the process of dying and he STILL sounded this good.

Heartbreaking. You can see he was struggling before the song (from ill health, not gyrating) short of breath, trying to concentrate. Yet the moment he started playing the piano he was transformed. Incredible performance, yet heartbreaking.

Exactly, slurring his words, stoned out of his gourd. But then he starts playing the piano and singing, it's a completely different person, words he was slurring just 1 minute ago are now sung in a strong, deep, in charge. The operatic notes he hits are amazing. The transformation is just amazing,

[@christerhaug6279]

He died 3 months after this preformance.

[@737cfm56]

Only 56 days later the KING would die. He was only 42. Imagine how ill he was, how much pain he was in and how rattled his mind may have been that night. You can see how much he was struggling just to function. Yet he was so dedicated and so determined to please his fans, that his performance was still truly powerful and moving. No one knew at the time that this would be his very last concert. His talent was a gift to him from God and we are forever blessed that he shared it with us. He gave us everything he had in every performance right up to the very end. God bless you Brother Presley, Rest in Peace.

[@jasonhall754]

He sang that just 6 weeks before his death. Absolutely AMAZING

Powerhouse. Swollen and sick, but delivering Elvis magic.

[@lechat8533]

Elvis`s career lasted 24 years (1953 - 1977 ). People are constantly talking about his weight gain, when in fact, he gained weight in the last three years of his life. In the end, his face was bloated, not fat. Some months after this concert, he passed. Elvis was a very sick man but all people mention about him is his drug abuse. He took legal drugs for his various health problems, no street drugs.

[@philhaymes123]

It doesn't matter if they were legal drugs.He did not need them.He was just a drug addict

I was at this last concert. He was so ill it was shocking. Gone just a few weeks later. I recently read a book by the doctor who testified in the court trial of his personal physician, Dr. Nick. Elvis had diseases that hadn’t been discovered yet. He was in so much pain, so much. God took him because he just couldn’t take any more. Rest in peace dear Elvis. I still listen everyday. They blamed it all on drugs. It wasn’t.

His beginnings were in gospel music, that was his first group that he was in. It was a gospel group if I’m not mistaken. He was a talent among talents in his day and there will never be another Elvis Presley. Thank you on behalf of myself and all other Elvis fans for your kind and wonderful words about this performance. That his amazing voice has reached another generation just makes me feel fantastic.

The Righteous Brothers made this a hit in the 60s. Elvis made it a hit again. Fun Fact: Bill Medley and Elvis were great friends. In fact they alternated concerts in Vegas at The International for awhile. Britt you should react to Medley's tribute song to Elvis, "Old Friend".

A true, pure, deep eloquent voice, from down inside. No other like it, ever. Great review.

[@Dano_in_Texas]

And even when he was heavier, and having difficulty with breath control...breathing in general... he was giving his performances 110%. He poured his entire heart and soul out, on that stage... every single show. Was Michael Jackson, or Stevie Winner, or Elton John a great performer? Of course. But Elvis was a step above. He set the bar. And in my opinion, no other performer, in music history, has ever matched the energy and passion of an Elvis concert.

[@tupelohoney622]

I lived next to Elvis's cousin when I was 4-5 years old, in our hometown of Tupelo, MS. Elvis would ride either his motorcycle or a convertible down from Memphis to visit his cousins. When I would see Elvis pull into Mr. Harold Ray's, I would run over because Elvis would always take me for a ride. I had no concept of fame, only that he was a sweet guy who indulged my love of fast vehicles. My mother was leary of motorcycles, and I can still hear Elvis saying, Mrs. Iris, I'll promise to protect her, but I can't tell her no. Elvis would always stop at a drive-in and buy me a milkshake and sing to me. Years later, after we had moved and Elvis's death, Mr. Harold Ray Presley was the sheriff of Lee County and killed in a shoot-out with a kidnapper. The kidnapper and victim were also killed. When I visit home, you still see both young and older Presley relatives. The Presley genes are strong, and some have a strong resemblance to Elvis, which throws visitors to his birthplace. Loved your reaction.

The older guys had a true understanding of what I felt listening to the song.

God blessed Elvis with this amazing talent and until the day he died God never let him lose the talent he blessed him with because Elvis used his talent to bless and help others and to always praise God and Jesus.
