Love me Tender live in color is the one…..whatever kind of mojo he’s working with is something I’ve never seen Ive ever seen a venue full of women acting like that

[@johnfleming6236]

I seriously doubt he was lip syncing.

[@munkeeBraynStoo]

PLZ, react to Larkin Poe singing their song called Mad As a Hatter live at The Covenant House. Bluesy slide guitar, funky feeling and she wails like an angel. I put it on Repeat for 4 days straight when i 1st heard it. I can’t hear it too much. It’s about mental health, with an Alice in Wonderland sleight to it. To top it all off, they’re Edgar Allen Poe’s great great great great grandkids!!! Are they awesome?!!! Quote the Raven, Forevermore!!!!

THEY KEPT THE CAMERA ABOVE HIS WAIST CUZ BELOW THAT THE MOTION WAS DRIVING WOMEN CRAZY AND THE POWERS THAT BE THOUGHT THEY BEST NOT GET THEM TOO EXCITED...LMAO

[@AE-xs5ze]

He oozed charisma. Genuine with no lip synching. Total talent. One of a kind for all time.

[@kevinstarr516]

No lip-synching here. This was totally live. The only times he lip-synched was in his movies. When he was in front of a live audience, he never lip-synched at all ever. He didn't need to.

[@BetteLouWho]

The Ed Sullivan show wasn't taped. His performances are legend. That's his genius. Electrifying. For his movies it's slightly different. There's no lipsynching in the movies. Not exactly. You go into the studio. You pre-record just the audio tracks for the sake of sound quality . When you go to the film stage, you actually do sing out loud, just like in the audio studio.

[@orgonkothewildlyuntamed6301]

@@BetteLouWho correct though the one in the evening was the 2nd showing as they did a "rehearsal" show in the afternoon(the ones Mom went to because she could pretend she went to work lol)

[@collette9008]

Boomer here. I watched this live performance and he never lipsynched anything. I went to 3 of his concerts and he was just that good. I've been an Elvis fanatic for 65 years. I even have this record in a 45 single but the center of it has the little 33 size hole. I have hundreds of records and "Love Me Tender" is the only record I have like this. I played it so much that it started to get scratchy. I remember crying because of it. He will always be the king, forever in my heart ❤️ 👑.

[@debbielough7754]

He lip synced in movies, because that's how they worked. But never other than that. If it was meant to be live, it was live.

[@DarkSkies72]

No lip syncing in those days, no protools and no cordless mic’s. Just talent.

[@clboelcke]

He did not lip synch when he was live--Elvis’s whole life was singing-he sang all the time off stage, as well.

[@sheliaspringer7389]

Another late boomer...I don't know where the lipsinging came up; but there WAS NO lipsinging! He was phenomenol! Spectacular! And the best entertainer that ever lived! I think he had more charisma than anyone ever!!! I loved him and still do! I play his vinyl records all of the time. They never get old! Crazy Over Elvis! One thing that is not mentioned enough, is what a wonderful humanitarian that he was! He actually gave away much more than he kept for himself! What a wonderful man!

[@robinaddis-vaughn7271]

I watched a voice coach who explained how Elvis's voice couldn't be autotuned. The computer couldn't keep up with all the different little things that made his voice unique. I can try to find it for you, if you're interested.

[@robindehlinger4698]

There was no such thing as auto tune when Elvis was alive. Also, this song was written for a movie. Elvis’s character sang the song to his bride.

[@robinaddis-vaughn7271]

@hounddog1956 I didn't think he would be, but I'm southern, so I had to offer.

[@robinaddis-vaughn7271]

@Robin Dehlinger Yes ma'am. I'm well aware of that, this voice coach was conducting an "experiment" (I suspect for the idiots who don't believe that God could assemble such a perfect instrument). And, we know, God can move mountains, if He wants to, and Elvis even sang a song about those mountains.

[@sheliaspringer7389]

I also watched a voice expert that analyzed voices and have seen several different ones! ELVIS' voice was the ONLY one that could never be autotuned! It was amazing watching his variation of notes and key rises! Every single artist today uses anything they can that will give them a voice, although it is a farce! They have NO talent! Ohhh! Too bad that they were not alive to witness a true talent...a true STAR! ELVIS!!!

[@naddygam6490]

Yes! When he was autotuned it completely flattened his voice and did not sound good.

[@SallyBray-hq4gl]

I'm one of those boomers and it was live no lip syncing

[@tlo3571]

Now that you have heard this early version, you need to watch the Las Vegas ‘70s version. It’s quite enjoyable. That’s all I’m going to say. 🙂

I haven’t seen this performance in a long time. Beautiful singing with a little impromptu humor is totally Elvis live, especially when he is so young here. The studio version of this song is one of the most beautiful recordings I have ever heard. Perfection!

Love Me Tender on a 50's LP if you want to hear what the girls went crazy for. Nothing else compares. The "breathing" and intimacy of that recording is beyond describing. Sounds like he is singing in your ear. WOW!

[@FredD63]

Last year baby boomer here 1963….. Elvis was not allowed to swivel his hips on the Ed Sullivan show could be one reason he looked like he was so mellow while singing this song

[@jms1471]

In the movie, Elvis actually gets killed in the end and this song Love me Tender, was sung by Elvis as if it was coming from the grave, as a image on the screen, I think that version seemed to be sound better, check it out, it at the end of the movie, Love me Tender...

[@sandbach7195]

One of a kind. Women loved him and men wanted to be him.

I would have to debate the statement that women only want the tender that resides in your wallet. Perhaps some shallow money-grubbing types want that, but a quality, thoughtful woman wants the tender that resides in one's heart.

Elvis's first movie was called Love Me Tender which featured this song. This was not a lip sync. He sang it live. The record was a little different. I remember watching this show back in the 1950's..

[@bwana-ma-coo-bah425]

There is a comment below from some who goes by the name of Depper. The real Depper died more than 2 years ago. The person who is masquerading as Depper has stolen the identity of a dead man and claimed it it as his. Any comments he should be ignored and deleted.

Fun fact......Elvis was on The Ed Sullivan Show. Due to tv restrictions, they could only film the upper part of his body because of him shaking his lower body. (if you get my drift). Funny to fast forward Elvis' costumes, etc. The man was incredible. Because I have seen you react to Led Zep, Robert Plant loved Elvis. He was very young. He picked up a few moves from Elvis. One of their tours, Elvis invited them to his show and after party. Robert and the rest of the band met Elvis at the after party. As they were leaving, Elvis and Robert were in the hallway singing love me tender. Robert was in aw......

No lip sync... When he pushes on his Left ear, he's making sure that he's in Key. 👍

Thanks for the Elvis reaction - Unfortunately the HATERS - Don't know their facts saying Elvis stole black music -- For one thing He paid Royalties to those that He covered - The Songwriters -- 2ndly The King Of Soul James Brown & BB King Were great friends with Elvis..Jackie Wilson Sanmmy Davis Jr People need to do their research instead of Judging Elvis... and accusing him of stealing

[@bwana-ma-coo-bah425]

In order for any song writer to get Elvis to sing the song they wrote they had to hand over 50% rights to the song and Elvis got all the credit. Do some home work and check out any song he sang, it will say song by Elvis, which is a lie!

[@davidharrison1523]

Right at the beginning, as Elvis had just begun to sing, you will see him cupping his hand to his ear, to check that he was in tune, as the musicians were pretty loud. If he had been lip synching to a record, there would have been no need for him to do that. Elvis was said to have sounded just as good when performing life, as he sounded on record, & I have seen original footage of him rehearsing in the studio of RCA, & his voice is as good as any record of his that I have heard.

Just to clue you in on some things. When I met my husband he was a janitor. I worked full time while raising our toddler and supported him through 7 years of full time college. He became a military chaplain. Not a doctor. Not a lawyer. We had nothing for the first ten years of our marriage. We've been married 43 years. I married him because he was a kind man, a spiritual man who cared about others, a man of true honesty and integrity and those things still apply to him today. And, I was the cute girl that never had to worry about attracting a guy. I could have married the money, but I chose to marry a decent human being.
