Millennials Reaction to Elvis Presley - Unchained Melody + TRIBUTE | THE WOLF HUNTERZ Jon and Dolly

[@israelitesrwhite4344]

Elvis is the greatest voice of all time! He wasn’t called the King for nothing.

[@bobbygregory1007]

This man was so BIG, that in 1975 in Huntsville Alabama he SOLD OUT 5 SHOWS, VERY QUICKLY, I got to see him leave the 2:30 show and walked up to the car and he was sitting in the middle of the back seat, bodyguards on each side of him, had a big smile and those silver sun glasses, saw him for the last time in Dec.29,1976,Birmingham Alabama, when he came out from behind the curtain, the flash bulbs started going off and I mean it was unreal to see the whole place lit up with flash bulbs, NEVER will forget that!!! KING ELVIS.

[@ajsuli8048]

I love Elvis.

[@Mary-xo7ue]

His body may have failed but his vocals never did.😢❤

[@phidalstal14]

He was and still is the single greatest preformer of all time.

[@thomasmayes7091]

I’m 24 from Texas! I still to this day 100% believe this is the greatest performer to walk this green earth!💯

[@stevepomeroy-rockin-pa-realtor]

That would be just about it. One more show after this one, and the world would lose the greatest musician that ever lived. He was an Arranger of half a dozen different genres. His ability to bring Gospel and R&B together with Country and Rockabilly and Funk and Jazz and Opera was so unique. But he did more than that. His charisma and stage presence was off the charts and made the careers of Michael Jackson, Prince, Kiss, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Beyonce, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Freddie Mercury and so many other legends. Music just doesn't look or sound like it does today without Elvis Presley.

The King. Rest in Power!

[@ppresley9208]

Elvis was , and still is , and always will be THE MAN ... TCB forever !

[@susyq810]

He was so ill here but gave us all he could ....he thought he would be forgotten. Elvis fans will never forget him and will always love him. Thank you Elvis for sharing your beautiful voice and your talent with us and for having such a generous and kind heart . You brought tremendous joy to millions of people and helped many others financially throughout you life. Thank uou❤

this was six weeks before he passed. his voice was a gift from God. RIP

[@judypetitto]

You guys have no idea! He really is the GOAT. There is no other then or now.

[@katy5467]

Elvis loved opera. When they aired this concert after his death, I was still in mourning where I came home from school everyday, changed clothes and sat on the floor in front of the stereo playing Elvis albums and crying. So when they aired the concert, I wanted to both look at Elvis and listen to his voice. But I couldn’t. Already crying, if I looked at the tv I cried harder and couldn’t hear him sing. So, lying on the sofa, I faced the back seat; only occasionally turning around to. Look at him. It was a time that when I think of it takes me back and I can actually feel transported to 1977.👑♥️

[@visaman]

Beautifully put. What really hit me about the special was the epilogue with Vernon, surrounded by the fan letters that came in after Elvis died. That's when his death hit me hard.

[@Wildlife_SA.]

Oh wow... This makes me sad. I was 18 when he died, 16th August 1977! A date embedded in my mind... I grew up with Elvis gospel in our home, and later all his other music. I live on the other side of the world, but when he died I cried and cried. Felt like I'd lost a family member 😢 such a beautiful man inside and out. Thank you for your heartfelt reaction. From South Africa. ❤🇿🇦🌍😢

[@amandarayray9340]

What this clip didn't show was that he seamed to be struggling to breathe while he was talking just before this, then he sat down at the piano and sang like THAT. Amazing!! What a beautiful man. Love you always, Elvis!!!!

[@susyq810]

Thank you so much for continuing to honor Elvis by including his music on your channel. He was and remains loved very much.❤

[@tomlivesay8407]

Although he performed with an orchestra, there was some overdubbing on this song for the TV special ELVIS IN CONCERT, which aired after his death. The award he received in this video was for his song “Moody Blue,” and was given at the Indianapolis airport on the night of his last ever concert, which was in Indianapolis on June 26, 1977.

[@theo7493]

When this was first released to the public in the early 90s on vhs called Elvis, The Great Performances " there was no overdubbing on the song. Its only been really overdubbed in recent years on KZbin.

[@ep-pm2mo]

This performance wasn't in the TV Special ..considered too raw to include so shortly after his death! It was released in the 90s. I remember well the airing of that CBS special

[@vintvarner16]

​@@ep-pm2moisn't it ironic they thought it was too raw, but rest of concert was ok to play. Some of the songs were really good but man the weight/slurring or forgetting lyrics/general appearance, but that was ok for cbs

[@samhugh4965]

When I saw this in the 2022 Elvis movie, I lost it. And each time I hear it, I do the same. It’s sent me down the Elvis rabbit hole. And to think I almost didn’t watch the movie…

[@pennyyoung3166]

When you have heart failure for you still be able to sing is a miracle RIP

[@rong805]

The part at @4:30, where the band comes in, wasn't part of the original live show. That and the big finale of the song were added as overdubs mainly because the filming was for a concert to be aired on TV in October of 1977. Unfortunately, Elvis died in August, 6 weeks after filming. If you watch the original concert recording, you can tell, without the added stuff, how good he really was, even in such a bad state of health.

[@Bonita..186]

Elvis had alpha 1 which is auto immune attacks the lungs colon heart liver intestines causes extreme pain and insomnia... He's organs were twice the normal size...He also had emphysema... Elvis was suffering.....💔😭He put all that aside and sung like an angel.....No one will ever come close...❤️💛🫶👑

Elvis what a great song and voice ❤❤

[@danc4355]

I was 6 tears old but remember the 6pm news On August 16 1977. I listened to him with my mother growing up. She's gone now and his voice remains the greatest I have ever heard and I'm now going to be 54 this year. I've not seen another singer put as much soul into a song like he did unchained melody. Watch him sing it. How he pushes it out of his body. Incredible

I look at him here and he looks like he is in active heart failure 😢 and still delivers an amazing performance ❤❤❤ they said he loved performing and being with his fans. That is easy to believe when you watch these final performances.

[@kungputte73]

Why he is always the king

[@mrchips4489]

This isn't the original live recording of Elvis singing "Unchained Melody." Rather, it's one that was overdubbed with back up singers & orchestra added later on. In the original performance, it's 'just' Elvis on the piano singing. The original is on You Tube. It begins with Elvis having his dad, Vernon Presley come up on stage as he introduces him; Elvis then introduces his girlfriend, Ginger Alden & tells her to 'stand up.' She does for a minute or so & receives loud and long applause. Elvis interrupts & then kiddingly says to Ginger 'that's enough for you, you can sit down now. He has Charlie Hodges come over to the piano, teases him a bit & then begins his performance. Elvis was very ill at this point in time & you can see how exhausted he is. Yet, he still gave his all to his fans. As Elvis said: "I can never repay my fans; if it weren't for them, I wouldn't have anything."

[@johncross5634]

Elvis met with other musicians of that time including sports stars. He was held in awe… almost like a god. John lennon once said before Elvis there was nothing.

[@MarkMc6859]

Elvis is talking with Todd Slaughter, the president of the British Elvis fan club while holding the trophy. The pair knew each other very well by accounts. Also with him is his father looking over his shoulder at the framed record. I saw his manager there too i think, and one or 2 of his road crew.

[@erlindamartinez8521]

[@SharonMatthews-h3w]

His heart, lungs and liver, colon all failing here. He died several weeks later. I cant believe he was even able to perform like this here. Incredible

[@MichelleAtnip-iw2ym]

Interesting read is a book called Destin to die young, which discusses the bodily systems that were failing at the time of this concert in a few weeks before his death.

[@SharonMatthews-h3w]

Yes, I read that book. Great read and research. You can really see the puffiness and the illnesses in that last concert. He aged so much in a few years, just like his mother. But he did have an incredible life

[@gregokray6465]

You guy's got to react to the song he always closed his show's with, the live version of "Can't Help Falling In Love" 1972, then you will understand why the phrase "Elvis has left The Building" came from, it was to calm the audience down especially the ladies, they would fight for his scarf's, fight with the security, only at an Elvis show you heard that phrase because of the thrill and excitement that he brought to the stage, check it out.

[@gary17509]

I was at his concert at the Philadelphia Spectrum in May 1977. I remember thinking that he had not done very well, although hundreds of women were crying and walking up to the stage to get a look at him. Of course, I was not aware that he would not make it through the year.

[@mikepryor8470]

Body failing him and a short time later passed away but he was singing better than most people in their prime... Will be no other like him...

He was so ill here. He had hereditary illnesses, aged about 20 years in 2. Just like his mother. No one ever talks about that. He took prescription pills for a reason. Just look at tge puffiness in his body, steriod medication. He needed a major break to rest and go into hospital, maybe he would have lived longer
