MUSICIAN REACTS to Elvis Presley - I Was The One

[@Mary-d5x6g]

I was a 12 year old girl in Virginia that flipped out when I heard him and then saw him. It has been an obsession all my life. I am now 80 and still love him. He just touches your life. Many don't know what a kind and generous man he was. He loved all people, and he loved God. Thanks for this great review.

[@michellebishop8743]

80 also and I have never heard anyone better or more gorgeous.

[@rebeccarobbins6558]

The young Elvis voice, but even his older voice was just as good! You can't beat the best there ever was!

[@jjhpor]

My wife and I have had many arguments over the young or the old Elvis. This as good as it gets. But dont miss I want you, I need you I love you!

[@susanzwayer4421]

Always been my No. 1 favorite.

[@depper]

NOOONE LOOKED OR SOUNDED LIKE ELVIS PRESLEY. PERIOD. There was no cultural appropriation, Elvis created his own sound and style.

[@stevenoels2757]

We often forget Elvis was only 21yo when he recorded this song and yet he sounds like such a mature singer, his phrasing and play on notes is amazing. We also forget he was really all alone at the time as he forged a very different style on the stages across the USA. Great song and lovely reaction John, thanks

[@johngibsonmusic]

Thank you!!

[@ChefBarb58]

SO PLEASED THAT SOMEONE ELSE RECOGNIZED ALL THE HARD WORK TRAVELING ALOT TO JUST TO SING A SONG OR TWO. HARD DAYS THEN. WELL SAID.😊

[@Mary-d5x6g]

You know they once labeled Sinatra as a great lyric interpreter, and left out Elvis all the time. He never got anything but harsh criticism in the 50's. I went around defending him as a teenager, even within my own family. Love him forever.

[@joanmatthews2570]

Love his voice in this song,!! Elvis,'s voice was like an instrument.

[@daisyday3813]

Fabulous! He was such a versatile singer. He could sing anything. I can listen to my Elvis playlist for hours.

Elvis fan since 1955. This was my favorite, early on.

[@MaryJones-vo5nz]

This was young Elvis, and even then he had a passion that always carries through all his music. It has an innocents and at the same time is very sensual. Miss him still. Thanks John.

[@sandralybrand9425]

My gosh this takes me back before I was even a teenager or just turned! I've been a fan since 8 or 9 years old. Right from the beginning! I'm almost 76 and his music is even better to listen to! I listen all the time and will until my time comes! I love him even more now than I did then! Because we've learned what a kind and generous man he was to his fans and strangers. He gave away most of his money to people that he learned was having hard times gave to over 50 charities in Memphis alone Every year! Not counting all the others he gave concerts to raise money and donated the proceeds to. Even if he read about someone in the paper! He even paid hospital bills for entertainers down on their luck! Gave away 200 cadillacs and numerous other cars!

Beautiful song wonderful Elvis

[@CFoster-en5vp]

Somebody said this was the flip side of Heartbreak Hotel, but I love this song best. My favorites during this time are " I Was The One", "All Shook Up" , and "The Girl Of My Best Friend" because of his high voice in each one". I was a 60"s teenager, but it still reminds me of driving around with a boyfriend and songs like this on the radio. I could listen to these all day just because of his voice at that time. That doesn't mean I didn't love his older voice just as good because he was the best in whatever he sang. He put his charm on any song he sang. Thank you John. I love his older voice and the live audience videos. Fantastic!

[@charliedavis9996]

Wow! The music in the 1950’s was so pure and his background vocals were so crisp. There will never be an era like the 1950’s when it comes to vocals. Elvis was so great. So much enunciation!!!

[@johntynio3416]

Yes, that song is one of a kind! Like 'Don't Be Cruel', and 'My Wish Came True', and so many Elvis songs, there just isn't anything else similar to any of those songs! Elvis gets the ears and the hearts and the fans! Thanks John.

Thank you so much for your kind words Maria!

[@carolcliff5150]

My memory can be unreliable but I'm sure "I Was the One" was the flip side of "Heartbreak Hotel." And the world changed in 1956. All these years later, it still sounds wonderful. A young man who did his thing, stood his ground, and shared his talent with others.

[@charlesfrancis6925]

This song was released in 1956 on the flip side of the Heartbreak hotel song (in the 45 rpm record)

I wore this record out in 56 I was 13 years old. I was in love with his passionate voice then I actually saw what he looked like on an album cover, and nearly had a heart attack. Beautiful, and to this day he still is and always will be. Thanks John. Be Blessed

[@patrickdevries6267]

It is a song of 1956 to be exact January 11 1956; it was the flip side of Heartbreak Hotel and the first song done with the Jordanaires as back vocals. Elvis insisted very much to have the Jordanaires, the Jords he called them, as backvocals and it was also his condition to record it, without the Jords he would not have done it. With the song he proofs that he also could sing ballads and what a versatile singer he was, the most versatile singer ever. Finally ELVIS = THE GOAT period!!!
