There is a very detailed article called "The the 50 voices of Elvis Presley" You can Google it to read. Elvis sings in a tenor, baritone and bass voice. He is the greatest in history.

[@terrygarcia897]

We had 46 presidents and one king. Good night Graceland. Texas peace

[@christopherone1]

he's so outrageously good looking, handsome here...can't imgaine what in real life was like. He's so comfortable with his fans, as an entertainer.

[@matrix5000100]

Elvis gave so much to the world, which I become more and more aware of every day. I've been an Elvis fan since I was 13 and today I'm 60 years old and I'm always rediscovering Elvis. Elvis Presley was more than just a musician and artist. He has enriched the lives of millions and billions of people.

[@ChefBarb58]

[@christakulikowski7567]

Would have loved to be there with Elvis in that crowd. Unforgettable, sweetheart singing for his fans this harmonious song - it carries one away - heavenly! God bless and keep you dear John.

[@Wildlife_SA.]

Such a beautiful ballad. His voice is soft and tender. He looked stunning at the '68 Comeback Special. Very nice reaction John.

Lovely i love elvis

This guy has given so many memories to so many people.His voice here is at its peak.They don't call this guy the King for nothing.👑

That’s a big AMEN BROTHER!!!

Beautiful man, beautiful voice. Then, now, always. ❤

[@sherroncunningham7845]

I love that song to be honest that's all you have after you lose the people you love is memories

[@perolofwahlund2983]

This is pure magic, Elvis voice is pure velvet. Perfectly agree with you John. I can simply not prevent my tears from falling when I hear this song.

[@dannywillis7143]

I could cry this is so beautiful. I made a video with this song with my Husky walking with me on a long lead in tall grass . He is still with me . ❤❤

[@elvis78ale]

No words are possible ...this song is so beautiful ❤️😍

[@michaelmcgrath9933]

Stunning and beautiful ❤

[@3SeveredHeads]

One of my favs too ...bittersweet...gets me an always has...someone did a video using this song showing Elvis in the early yrs with his mum & happy at home etc...a real gut wrencher but beautifully done ❤

[@camiamayo5093]

Thank you so much for sharing this video

[@truthandlife4101]

Powerful simple song and only Elvis could sing it. Mac Davers I watched a interview with him early 2020's or 2019 great story. Thank you John for the beautiful song reaction.

[@jeanselman-b3v]

Just fantastic ❤

[@davidharrison1523]

The lyrics are very beautiful & Elvis sings it as if he really is thinking of those sweet memories. There were so many great songs in this 68 Comeback Special. Such a great reaction by you, & I do really appreciate your reactions, because you are a musician yourself. So thank you. I would really enjoy you doing a reaction on a couple of Elvis’ Blues songs Steamroller Blues in his Aloha from Hawaii 1973 Live Concert ….and Elvis Presley - Stranger In My Own Home Town (X-Rated Blues Jam) … He sang a couple of different versions, with one being faster, but I just love this version, where he slows it right down. You have to scroll down a little bit to get to this particular version. A lot of people don’t know that Elvis did this Blues song & I think you’ll enjoy it.

[@jeanselman-b3v]

Lovely

[@anitamoberg7076]

So very beautiful. Elvis voice so sweet and tender.So careful so loving.Brings a tear in my eye.♥️ Enjoy having you back John ♥️ Bless You ♥️

[@dtm6358]

Glad to have you do another Elvis video. Thank You

[@Kassandra_]

Your Elvis vids brought me to your channel. You let the songs play fully without lots of stops. You put the music and the artist at the center and not yourself. It's sweet🤗 how emotional and yet professional your reactions are. Good luck with your own music career.❣️

[@dtm6358]

Agreed

[@ChristineKingston-rz4ie]

Hi John, Memories represents for me, a gift. It has a way of slowing down my heart rate which in turn, allows an emotional sense of meandering through his mind. Knowing of the circumstances that led to the 68 special; its importance, the years that he felt he had wasted in movies, the stand that he was forced to take against the Colonel and yet the memories that he had at that time equaled that of three men. ❤️

[@krazyj1957]

This was done in the 68 Comeback Special.

[@JK_87606]

Great 🙂

[@matthewrobertson2345]

Hey John, you should do Raise on Rock. By Elvis Presley, the song will blow you away

[@colinbrown7310]

The man’s voice never lets you down.

[@courtneynairn508]

You should watch the live version. This has been dubbed over. Not sure why people do that to his live performances, because Elvis live is so beautiful. Thanks for the reaction nevertheless. 😊

[@davidgibbs7232]

Yes I noticed that also.Its just wrong. 👍

[@courtneynairn508]

​@@davidgibbs7232 Unfortunately, it seems to happen a lot.

[@joeknipp6698]

Yep, I noticed right away that the audio is NOT the same as the video performance. It bugs me too that people do this. I was watching a 'reaction' video of Elvis' "Bridge Over Troubled Water" from 1970 and the audio had been so bastardized it was awful... full of echo and other weird effects... and the people reacting to the video probably have no idea it's been modified (and ruined).

[@courtneynairn508]

@@joeknipp6698 OMG! I get anxiety just reading this. It makes my blood boil, especially if a new Elvis fan is reacting. People need to quit messing with perfection. Of course, Elvis' studio recordings are flawless, but his live performances are on another level. If someone wants to react to the studio recordings, then they can find the official audio, but his live performances should be reacted to as they are, with no changes. Not saying that it's John's fault for reacting to this specific performance that someone has dubbed over. I'm just saying, in general, I wish reactors would make a point in telling their subscribers to send them links to the original live performances, and not performances that have been tempered with. 😊

[@joeknipp6698]

@@courtneynairn508 Perfectly said !

[@judyzeller3921]

Beautiful. Wish you had used the original soundtrack from the '68 special. BTW, he was wiggling around quite a bit during this song. The story goes that the leather pants were "pinching" him in uncomfortable places. He does squirm quite a bit. The gal to our left actually looks a little worried at times. Knowing that story always has me just a little distracted when watching that tender performance with his exquisite voice.

[@aknsd2009]

One of my favorites by Elvis. Didn't you once wear a t-shirt of my beloved San Diego? SD the best major city in the USA. P.S. Just too expensive

[@elsade0254]

No tienes mucho que decir, basta con tu emoción!!

[@elvisbjorn3379]

Diesem Verdikt schliesse ich mich an! Wunderschöne Performance. Einziger Wemutstropfen: leider ist Tonaufnahmetechnik bei dieser 68iger TV-Show nur in Mono aufgezeichnet …

[@johnathanstruble1064]

❤

[@brentstevenson1484]

IN HIS PRIME ALWAYS MAKES ME VERY SAD TO THINK WHAT HE DId TO HIMSELF In SHORT 8 YEARS WAS GONE

[@dtm6358]

He did nothing to himself deliberately. He had many ailments and had to take several prescriptions

[@Elvista]

Learn before you lament

[@brentstevenson1484]

@@Elvista yes you should ..The beginng was the road and then the army after 1973/74 sure he had problems but it got out of control you take downers to come down and escape saw him live 3 times 70,73,and the end of 1975 by then you knew something was wrong He was hooked full blown by the end of 1975 But his fans didnt care and the voice God gave him was there till the end

[@Elvista]

@@brentstevenson1484 seeing him live doesn't mean you know what you're talking about, sir. Even I seem to understand more than you.

😍😍😍👍

[@michelaabbatucci2935]

Come sempre un' interpretazione emozionante e fatta con passione e emozione. grazie John Gibson..wauuu💯💯👑👑👑

[@nycsue]

I don't know why this video was created when you have actual footage from the special. You are right about Mac Davis. As for me, if Elvis sings it, I either like it or I love it. I have more loves than likes when it comes to Elvis though.

[@josephcrawford4038]

Please review "It's Still Here".

[@Aquarius69]

Hi John, danke für Deine reaction zu diesem schönen song. Dieses Video hat aber die Audio studio version zu dem Live Video. Das original live Audio hört sich ein bisschen anders an, man kann Elvis Atem am Mikro hören. Ist auch auf KZbin. Liebe Grüße von Sven aus Nordeutschland.

[@LizMcLean-ku9hn]

Could you do a reaction video to Santana and rob thomas singing smooth , thankyou

[@karenfisher4597]

Have great memories of Elvis miss him everyday

[@tcb7369]

Many could probably write the music but only Elvis could really tell the story! Forever the King 👑

[@SuspiciousMinds65]

That's what Elvis left us memories pressed between the pages of our minds

Just perfect John the sweet voice of elvis it can't get any better than this just beautiful memories ❤❤lovely to have you back John ❤❤

[@annieleouzon6598]

Thank you so much John..Every song ELVIS sang it was a piece of raw emotion...He is really the G O A T....

[@JoAnnKlingaman-iu4lm]

Love love this song. Written by another wonderful musican/ song writer Mac Davis. No one else could sing this song 💕like Elvis. Thanks John 😊

[@johntynio3416]

Who else could possibly deliver that song like Elvis? I've heard it hundreds of times over the years, and it gets me every time! You nailed it with your comments John! Thanks John!

[@BigRed-Heron]

I agree! No one and I mean no one can match his GOD GIVEN VOICE!!

[@MigdaliaTomalinas-os2nz]

Beautiful song and Elvis singing it made it sweeter. My late husband and I danced to this song on our daughter’s wedding which was our 21st anniversary. My daughter knows to play this when I pass. It sums up my life and my 58 year marriage.

[@ChefBarb58]

YOU SAID IT BEUTIFULLY ❤

[@paulriley7117]

Thank you very much John for sharing this wonderful video of Elvis, one of the greatest men to ever walk on this planet.

This was played at my mum's funeral in 2009. She was 85. I am bawling like a baby.

[@nancy9891]

Beautiful

[@marty4933]

This live performance is so good; Elvis really presented beautifully vocally and otherwise to that intimate audience setting.

[@Aquarius69]

It´s the studio version audio of the song to live video. The live version sounds a little bit different. You also can hear Elvis breath into the mic.

[@AndySoeter]

Elvis is always : watch and learn 😃👍. GBY ✝️🙏

[@WoodsWoman822]

Thank You John, Beautiful Song 🎵 ❤️ Elvis Presley "IT'S STILL HERE" 1971 Elvis At The Piano 🎹 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYvGq3afar6Ul7ssi=nkZn8wglJnFb7vG5 Eight hours into a recording session that started at 6 p. m. on May 19th, 1971, in Nashville, Elvis is sitting alone at the piano at 2 o'clock in the morning singing one of his favorites: Ivory Joe Hunter's "It's Still Here". He's been playing this for years at home planning to record it Sometime. This night, and understanding the magic of the moment, producer Felton Jarvis turns on the tape machine...

[@Nausica-mg5oo]

Bom dia john. Elvis passava todo sentimento que a musica pedia. Esse era o seu diferêncial. Simplismente maravilhoso. Gostaria muito que o canal legêndace para o português sua análice. Não perco nenhum dos seus vidéos.😍 do Brasil.

Si John, es de Marc Davis, y si busca por Yotuber, encontraras a Marc Davis cantando la canción. Elvis le da otra dimensión superior. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@eileenbussey6926]

Your right in the Ghetto was written by Mac Davis.

[@kenschultz506]

My favorite Elvis song

[@rogerkalfousse1302]

Elvis what else?

[@stevenoels2757]

Memories, has to be one my favourite Elvis songs too. It is such a lovely crafted song lyrically, set to a lovely melody. I wish he had returned to this song in his 70s live shows but I do not think he ever did. Great reaction and great to see you again, do not think I seen a video in some time.

[@sherroncunningham7845]

He wrote Don't cry daddy in the ghetto and a Little less conversation I love that song as well as memories for Elvis they were friends I love all of his songs

[@christakulikowski7567]

Hi John, good to see you again! Am glad that you liked my comment. His wonderful songs are always in my mind - they make me happy every day. Love your honest reactions. Stay well and God bless you!

[@michaelgibson3011]

Mac Davis said that Elvis started this song and gave it to him. He said to Elvis that he should finish it. Elvis said your the song writer and I'm just a entertainer. There is so much Elvis BS going around who knows who tells the truth.

[@ChefBarb58]

BOY YOUR SO RIGHT... I ALSO SEEN INTERVIEW YEARS AGO WITH THE WRITER THAT IF I CAN DREAM SONG... AND SAID ELVIS WAS THERE WITH HIS EMOTIONS AND HE JUST IT TOGETHER HOW ELVIS WAS TALKING AND HE SAID ELVIS SHOULD OF BEEN CREDIT FOR THE WRITING TOOO. BUT YOU WON'T HEAR HIM SAY THAT AGAIN.. JUST ONE BUSINESS'S TO GIVE OUR FANS THE GREAT BASKETBALL PLAYER SHAQUEL O'NEIL ( SHACK) BUYS DEAD PEOPLES WRITES LIKE MARYLIN MONROE, ELVIS PRESLEY FROM BEGINNING TO 1973.. THERE'S A VIDIO OF HIM TALKING ABOUT IT. THE AMOUNT OF I SEEN 24YRS AGO ON H.B.O. WOULD MAKE SAY WHY ISN'T THIS BEING SEEN... I SET ELVIS FREE AND STOP SUPPRESSING HIS GOD GIVEN BEUTIFUL WORK HE DID. SO I THANK YOU AND APPRECIATE ALL THAT STAND FOR TRUTH.🕊

[@justdea5757]

LOVING YOUR CHANNEL! I HAVE A REQUEST...PHIL COLLINS...IN THE AIR TONIGHT-LIVE...BUT THEN BACK TO ELVIS VIDEO REACTIONS...LOL!!!

[@CynthiasPursuits]

❤Mercy❤ Wow! Thank you! I thought you had covered this. Fun fact about Mac Davis...he wrote "In the Ghetto," but wasn't there when Elvis recorded it. When he did finally hear it, he was taken aback, or surprised...whatever word...he wasn't expecting Elvis to sing it like he did. Pronunciation. Mac assumed it would be just...ghetto...not... "ghet-toe." Elvis made it his own❤❤❤

[@cesarebonventre12]

TCB forever Elvis! ♥️

[@kevincox7009]

Hi John, i love your reaction to the Elvis song "Memories", it is nice to hear your response when the song had finished, how about reacting to "Love Me Tonight" (1963), "Mine" (1967), "Without Love (There Is Nothing)" (1969), "Sylvia" (1970), "She Wears My Ring" (1973), , "Green, Green Grass Of Home" (1975), "Love Coming Down" (1976), I hope that you like the Elvis songs that i have selected for you, as I would like to see and hear your reaction to each and every one of them, keep up the good work, as you are doing a fantastic job.

[@anndale6555]

now,try,I miss you this will have you in tears ,Charlie dale ,redcar.😢

[@yambo59]

If you havent yet check out "Kentucky Rain" --- also, Mac Davis didnt write the song "if I could dream" it was written for him but his management said you cant sing that song with all the racial tension, but Elvis recorded it anyway and it was and still is one of his best songs.

[@RobinMcPherson-k3m]

Greatest singer there ever was or will be.

It sounds like the studio version I think which was dubbed over the life version there. Which sounded a bit sharper perhaps.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGXFpZile7GHd5osi=0a0603d2SW7XlAjc John, check out this link. This is the actual performance instead of the video being added over a different version. I think it shows how smooth Elvis' voice was in person, and he really didn't need much help like most of today's "artists".
