FIRST TIME WATCH REACTION: Elvis Presley - TOMORROW NEVER COMES

[@melvis170w4]

I’ve posted actual footage of Elvis singing this song Tomorrow Never Comes during rehearsals 1970 TTWII & it’s magnificent, he not only belts it out, his physical movements are so strong and well just magnificent! AND IT WAS A REHEARSAL! ‘Until We Meet Again, May God Bless You, As He Has Blessed Me’ ‘Adios’ Elvis Presley TCB⚡️TLC ⚡️

[@judyking1011]

Can you give us a link to the rehearsal footage of Elvis singing this song please? I do think I came across it once, I agree, it’s such a powerful and beautiful song!!

[@traceycater]

I have become obsessed with this song since I found it over a year ago! His vocals are phenomenal!!

[@williamgreen9568]

HE IS STILL BEST SINGER IN THE WORLD 🌎❤ 💙♥ 💕 💙 🌎 THAT IS WHY HE IS THE KING 🤴♥❤ 💙 🙌 💖 🤴♥ 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@ellensalvatore7235]

One of my favorite Elvis song (I feel like I say that on every song) Love how it builds both musically and emotionally. I think it would have been a difficult one to sing and that it was very underrated.

[@benjamins.5428]

Absolutely amazing. I would like to recommend to you the song - Its still here - Elvis sings with raw intimacy and heartfelt emotion. Accompanied only by his piano.

[@christophertyler3425]

Yes, my friend I had the great pleasure of finding out, as well, that there are so, so many gems in the Elvis catalogue that were never even in the Top 40.

[@Toria-l6b]

His vocal range have opera singers in awe!! Pavarotti was once asked who his fave singer was, he said EP,, why because he can sing like me, but I can't sing like him,!! What a compliment hey!! There's a rehearsal of this, but I think it's been over dubbed!! In the studio he was having a little issue with the last note, but he did it, he's just amazing!! 👌👍

[@traceycater]

I’ve noticed the crack on that note as well, but love this song!! I’ve heard it said that “even Elvis sang out of tune.”

[@weberv41]

I love how the song keeps building and he keeps doing great stuff and you think he can't do anymore, and then he hits that last note! Great reaction

[@patticriss2238]

He was an arranger. Exactly. Maybe a perfectionist but I love all of it. He messed up on the lyrics twice , but he stayed committed and sold it. I miss him.

[@susyq810]

"He took us to THAT place and then he carried on!!! There is an audacity to that" !!! Amen!!! You said it all Mike! 💕🌻

[@Evj-r1t]

Ehhhhhh reaccionante a ésta canción a ésta interpretación maravillosa Thanks thanks very much 😏👑 Sugiero reacciones a Sylvia por favor.

[@nathaniman7293]

Love your reactions, especially to the great Elvis Presley. The Voice of Elvis Presley will always be golden!

[@mrst7995]

MIke you have the absolute best reactions because you educate us at the same time on voice, technical arrangements, instrumentation...and I've listened to many reactors of Elvis over the past 5 yrs. I get a deeper understanding of his talents and his capacity to move us. Thank you from Canada.

[@belindawade7901]

Love it when you have to get up and recover from listening to the master! Elvis loved a good build up in a song like American Trilogy (live in Aloha 1973) and Never Been to Spain (live in 1972 I think). I've also realised how easily he moves from singing softly but powerfully to belting the lyrics out - it can take you by surprise. For something completely different try It's Still Here which is just him accompanying himself on the piano - it's really beautiful ❤

[@nancy9891]

So good!! ❤

[@Ирина-т4ф5о]

I remember when I first heard this song, it struck me in the heart 💘 The incredible beauty and power of Elvis' voice are revealed in this performance for everything 💯. Elvis has never performed it at concerts, it's only in the recording

[@SusieOrSueOrSusan]

I hit like before even watching! LOVE LOVE LOVE this song! I absolutely LOVE the way he sings this! It reaches into my heart and soul and rips it out! Love your reaction and commentary as always! ❤💚

Just makes you feel that hopelessness of tomorrow. He sings from his soul and you can feel it! 💔 just breaks my heart!💔 no other singer has ever got to my soul like this man does. Thank you for reacting. Elvis forever!❤❤❤

[@jackielouise7538]

And therein lies the problem and what saddens and frustrates so many of us Elvis fans. There are hundreds of these songs that were performed by him that do not get the publicity and the recognition that they so greatly deserve. Far too many people only think of Hound Dog and Blue Suede Shoes and Heartbreak Hotel when they think of Elvis and they believe that that's all there was to him. So sad 😒😥

[@WayneRyan-xg9zq]

Totally agree with you I have always felt the same. However I suppose the fact we are listening to this particular song by means of utube it’s potentially available to the masses 👍

[@davemarsh65]

A song you might like is "I washed my hands in muddy water" what a superb song by the king

[@Tiggeramaone]

I bought the Elvis Country LP in the late 80’s when I was a teen. (Has the picture of Elvis as a toddler on the cover), and this was always a favourite. If you haven’t already, try Long Black Limousine. Another favourite.

[@denisedunn1294]

I just love your reaction Mike!!!!!! Elvis is the BEST!!!!!!!!!

[@johnmorissette4233]

Another great reaction!! Thank you . Maybe I think too much into this but it’s songs like this that he is absolutely incredible doing that he just didn’t get the credit due to him from the music industry during the time he was here, instead he was too many times portrayed as a bedazzled Vegas lounge singer . The man had unbelievable range and could sing rock, gospel, blues and country but its definitely great to see people appreciate the talent now

[@carstenwitt1697]

Great..one of my favorites..the King

[@kemperboyd16]

I love it when Elvis can’t resist doing his own backing singing. You sense he’s really enjoying it.

[@ward1tony]

It reeks of Ravels Bolero, fantastic.

[@debbyschultz1729]

Elvis's voice is perfection!! ❤❤❤❤❤!

[@amandarayray9340]

Brilliant song, Brilliant reaction ❤

[@shickerson9893]

Elvis never misses with any song he captures. He was our gift from God, whom Elvis has said to an audience member, who shouted out to him as Elvis is ”The King”, he quickly pointed above, “There is only one KING”. You gotta love him, a man with such humbleness to give recognition to our “King Above”. I’m so pleased you always give such positive love in your critique of his greatness as an entertainer. Thank you, Sherry 🙏❤🎶

[@jolenewitzel7919]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@helenludlow2331]

Absolutely fantastic - that crescendo at the end - what more can you say about this song and performance - he really did have it all 💜💛💙

[@dorothylong9226]

Another excellent reaction! Brings Me so much joy to see people of all ages in awe of his music . As should be music appreciation at so Many levels. Even better today than 50 years ago . Eventually You Gave Me a Mountain, Moody Blue From 77 different vibe from Elvis Snow Bird

[@stefanovirgili9319]

It is so much fun watching Elvis with you. Great stuff Mike. What a song and what Elvis did with it, I particularly like the outtakes of this, he had fun with it and also was a challenge. What a legendary human.

[@ElvisAZ]

I remember buying Elvis Country in 1971 and it was this song that I wore out the grooves on the vinyl. Chills. Great Reaction Thanks

[@JeanHodgson-g2t]

Yeh, I bought ELVIS COUNTRY in 1971,and I also played this track over and over again.MERRY CHRISTMAS to all you ELVIS FANS. MISS HIM EVERYDAY ❤

[@HarryReed-g5n]

After a few takes of this song, Elvis told his producer, Felton Jarvis, he wouldn't be able to keep singing the end of Tomorrow Never Comes. It would tear his throat up. So they got a great take on the ending. They then recorded the song over and over without the ending. Once they chose the master take they spliced the ending to it!

[@Libby-qk9jr]

OMG I love your reactions so much. "Musical escalation"...you just have all the right words. I loved, loved, loved this song. I actually wore the record out and you can't imagine how happy I was when the CD became available. I had to use my headphones because I would just blare the heck out of it. And you're right when you say Elvis was an arranger. He knew exactly what he wanted out of a song. There's a tiny glimpse of that in the That's The Way It Is documentary, but not enough. I would love it if more of the outtakes and rehearsals were made available.

[@susyq810]

I stop breathing for a few seconds at the end then I laugh every time I hear this unbelievable powerhouse of an ending to this amazing song. I heard a reactor say one time " You don't just "listen" to Elvis when he sings ...you " FEEL" Elvis when he sings.... it's a totally different dynamic". Thank you Mike for your great breakdown...sometimes he can make a person stop breathing or laugh ..or stand up and walk for a few seconds because words aren't enough 😉 ...it just happens.❤ I always smile when I hear him yell " yeah baby"!! it tells me he's pleased with how the song is going..love it all. Thank you again Mike for continuing the journey with us...🌻 I know your channel will continue to grow and Elvis musical legacy will continue to grow because eventhough he thought he would not be remembered....his fans and you help make sure he will be remembered. Thank you🌻💕

[@adammashoon4665]

I love how you respond and reaction to these songs, you really have an amazing insight. I listened to the song so many times, and you make me really look at it from a different lens that make sme love Elvis more. i love for you to do "Summer kisses winter tears", and "long black limousine"!

It’s always a pleasure seeing a sceptic / agnostic become a devout Elvis fan. 👍👍👍 Ultimately, you can’t beat Elvis: he was, and is, the best. A wonderful day to all.

[@patticriss2238]

@@renecents I didn’t BECOME an Elvis fan. I was born into a world where Elvis was the king. I watched much of it unfold. I’ll never forget the day he died.

[@renecents]

@ Hello Patti, I was the same way: I once wrote, “… I was an Elvis fan before I can remember and I’ll be one long after I forget.” However, many people know the name, accept the lies, or feel a sense of indifference. In my mind there are two types of people, people who love Elvis and those people who haven’t heard Elvis. Thank you for your comment and have a marvellous day. 🤞🤞

Elvis!! The King Of Music!! His voice is beyond beautiful! Thank you for reacting to this Spectacular song! You are again, Spot On with your reactions to his songs! You always say exactly how to describe Elvis’s singing style and his range! And yes! Elvis was definitely an arranger. Thank you ! Thank you! For listening to this one, one of many favorites of mine. Please try and listen to “I’ll Be There” And an older one, recorded early in Elvis’s career, but not released until 1960 or 61. “ Tell Me Why “ I call this one “ Raw Elvis “ Love the song, you’ll find it quite different, I don’t think too many fans know it, I’ve never heard it mentioned on you tube.

[@Mary-bk2wj]

I ‘discovered’ this song early this year and was overwhelmed by it. It became my favorite song instantly. Lucky us to have had this man here on this earth for awhile to woo and astound us, and to make impossible dreams seem real and within reach.

[@RaymondHarrigan]

And that's the way it's done. God created the world in 7 days. On the 8th day, he created Elvis. God was showing off his best work. I have been a fan for over 50 years and this is his absolutely finest ballad. It does not get better than this. May I suggest his Gospel, which will "take you to church". .Where Did They Go Lord, Without Love, I Really Don''t Want To Know, Johnny B. Goode (New Edition 25th Anniversary), O Sole Mio and Rags To Riches. It is great you people are finally discovering this incredible voice and talent. They only made one like him...everything else is second.

[@christophertyler3425]

Incredible as always and thank you! But I also saw a criticism of Elvis saying he faked playing guitar, yet Johnny Cash thought he was the best rhythm guitarist around and no less than the great, Chet Atkins has talked about how Elvis would come into the studio and warm up on the guitar, drums, and finally settle at the piano singing gospel prior to a session. Atkins pointed out that Elvis just had an ability to pick up any instrument and figure it out. However, to put a spotlight on Elvis playing guitar for the naysayers, I would suggest this: Goto the 68' Comeback Special and choose 'Trying to Get to You.' As I've never seen one man, with one guitar ever perform so greatly!

[@MrHolmgren194]

His pianist Glen D Hardin arranged most of the recordings in the 70`s, after what i`ve seen and read Elvis took part in it too working with Glen and the musicians.

[@scsu5085]

============ songs like this one, show elvis was a multi-genre singer, and NOT the Blues-Only artist he is being re-made into nowadays. His music usually covered multiple charts: Pop, Country, Blues, Adult Contemporary, Gospel, etc etc. The Beatles, Queen, MJackson could not pull that off, let alone with any regularity. Elvis had a unique quality to transcend labels. And I believe it's because growing up, he himself said, he absorbed music like a sponge... classical, opera, international, etc etc. Again, not just a blues copy cat, the guy could sing like Caruso if he wanted to.

Kudos to you, Mike, for choosing where to pause songs. It always annoys me when people pause right in the middle of a word. As usual, an amazing reaction to an amazing recording! This is short and not necessarily for a reaction, but I'm sure you'd enjoy watching it: Elvis Sings Tomorrow never comes (Rehearsal from That's The Way It Is) (1:07) Elvis always worked on a song with his core rhythm section before rehearsing with the whole band/orchestra.

Endnu en fantastisk reaktion fra dig Mike 💪🔥🔥 Jeg absolut elsker den den sang, og ved gud hvor kan kan synge🤩 En ting der er værd at bemærke er at selv om sange er på flere albums så synger han dem forskelligt på mange af dem. Albummet "From Elvis In Nashville" er et album hvor han virkelig synger igennem på mange af sangene og giver vokalerne ekstra gas. Et par numre fra dette album der virkelig er gode er : Cindy, Cindy When i'm Over You I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water How The Web Was Wowen Sylvia Where Did They Go, Lord Rags To Riches Jeg håber du finder tid til at reagere på nogle af dem🙏

As usual Mike, brilliant review of Elvis singing.You are also an honest and sincere guy. My question to you : You obviously, really dig EP and understand so much of his talent.How then, has so much of his recorded material not ever been heard by you, until so very recently ??🎉🎉

[@johnwhelan9225]

Tomorrow Never Comes is a fantastic vocal by Elvis, he was in top form at that time. Elvis recorded some amazing songs during this time period, Heart Of Rome, The Sound Of Your Cry, Love Me Love The Life I lead, to name but a few. The issue was RCA didn`t need to promote Elvis as they knew his core fans (Of which there were many) would buy his product once it was released and Elvis was making enough money touring so it wasn`t a big problem from his point of view either. Elvis personally selected songs for singles around 1970/71 that didn`t chart as well as he had hoped and so he stayed touring and mainly recorded for contractual purposes. Burning Love a song Elvis wasn`t as keen on charted really well. There are some real hidden gems by Elvis and you just found a nugget with this one. Well done Mike great reaction as always.

[@carolhayar3037]

I jumped when I saw this. I don't remember if I emailed this to you but it would have been the version at kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5m8pXVtpc-eiZI which has gorgeous photos & I think the audio quality is better. You may want to take a look at it. The amazing thing about this is not only the power he builds up to but what he does with certain words by making 2 syllables from a one syllable word, 3 syllables from a 2 syllable word, & that "up & down" thing he does with certain words. This song doesn't get enough play.

@@SusieOrSueOrSusan Marvelous! It isn't only the sound but those beautiful photos.
