Not only does Elvis have the greatest voice in the world, but he has more rhythm than anyone in the world. I'll also add, the best-looking guy in the world.❤❤the King Forever

[@sandramiller8701]

You could tell he was doing this wonderful performance asong for his beloved fans. ELVIS PRESLEY was just something we will never see again. Mr Charisma he had it all in SPADES.

[@macmag1040]

God could send better any time he wants Miss Sandra be sure of that.....

[@sandramiller8701]

What a performance Elvis Presley had it all.

[@NOVEMBER5TH2024]

When Elvis was conceived, God responded and said, son wow! you're going to be different. You will be spectacular, and you will be loved by millions. "There will only be one"

[@CGD316]

Whenever I introduce Elvis to my friends, this is the performance I would want them to watch. Such energy. The charisma and all.

[@nigelbiglari4552]

Amazing powerful emotional performance by Elvis the King of Rock❤❤🎸🎵🎶🎹🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

[@walliegirl2]

I always this was one of Elvis' greatest performances. AMAZING

[@susans4065]

I love Elvis. Been to Graceland 3 times. I never got to see him in person though. I really missed out on that. His voice is excellent. He can sing anything

[@susyq810]

"Now thats Polk Salad" Love watching him having a good time...Ronnie Tutt is wild on the drums and Elvis is wild with his moves !! WHAT A PERFORMANCE! !!!!!!!

[@Julzsavedandsetapart]

Heck yeah! I think I played this four times in a row just now

[@dennishardy3869]

Nothing, even today that compares to his gyrating. One of best songs ever done.

[@sandramiller8701]

Elvis Presley may had not been a song writer but he could put his own feeling's a style into any song a sing it better then the orginal artist. That's what made him the king of music.

[@marciachaves8129]

You,' re right!! I totally agree with you. He is the king of music no matter what.

[@magalylima8622]

I agree with you ! You said everything!

SANDRA: You are 1 unique and objective person/friend/fan, when it comes to Elvis' legacy! Our generation that comes a decade or two under Elvis, must carry on the torch and continue to educate future generations of E fans!

[@bluewaters3100]

I love Elvis doing this song . The band is awesome and together this is one of my favorite songs by them.

[@sandramiller8701]

Elvis Presley could make you laugh on your worst day ,,,he had that kind of magic charm a charisma.

[@gabe415]

Even today no one compares to EP. He still is the greatest!

[@dianefiske-foy4717]

This is one of my favorite videos of Elvis. The suit he’s wearing here is my favorite too. He looked so good at this time of his life - lean & healthy and at his best musically.

[@chrisguy1790]

John Lennon said before elvis there was nothing I'll say after elvis there's been nothing, elvis the GOAT

[@isacerveraduarte242]

I totally agree, like Elvis there has not been, there is and will not be anyone like

The Great Elvis Presley was singing about a wild plant "Polk Salad" that was picked in the woods and carried home and cooked generally by people who lived in the country in Louisiana.

[@doriangray6335]

Elvis 68 - 73 for me the best songs and performance....

[@willekevandijken3930]

He had a great a lot humor ,and a lot off ritme,I like that ,the golden voice

[@joannedungan8381]

Elvis and polk salad annie. Masterpiece undoubtably

[@p.j.morris633]

Elvis was the best friend i ever had in my entire life. we met when i was 17 yrs old. I won a radio show contest and the prize was a day with Elvis but our friendship lasted past that one day in time. All the memories of my friend are tucked safe in my heart forever. i saw him numerous times he was amazing he was not only my friend but a big brother as well. I never will get over his death it haunts me everyday seeing him in video's dancing and singing breaks my heart because i know he is not here anymore my mind understands but my heart never will, i saw him a few weeks before he passed he said kiddo everything will be okay i said E. nothing will ever be okay again, i was crying so hard he gave me a little kiss on the cheek and said i love ya kiddo always remember that okay i said love ya too E. that was the last time i saw my friend alive again. I walk past Graceland everyday without fail. Anyway i loved your reaction i hope you will watch more of his music videos love from Memphis Tn.

[@Elvos2008]

So in controle, every move he makes is a sign for a instrumental reaction. The group and Elvis fitted like a glove. So tight.

[@AntonioCollenzo]

Elvis Presley was something else do gorgeous

Sandra he was. The most gorgeous man . JUST WISHED WE COULD HAVE HIM AROUND A COUPLE OF MORE DECADES. MISSISSIPPI ELVIS JUNKIE LB I

[@laurabexley9114]

Sandra he was. The most gorgeous man . JUST WISHED WE COULD HAVE HIM AROUND A COUPLE OF MORE DECADES. MISSISSIPPI ELVIS JUNKIE LB I

[@georgerutnam7423]

Sandra : iwas fortunate to see him about 25 or more times.....first one in Vegas 1969 when Bill Miller Elvis promoter and a close famly friend got us sitting in the front booth with dom perignon.....what a show, and we met him after the show, and I was tongue tied, and looking at him in awe, when i was introduced. He was a gentleman, caring human being, no wonder he has so many loyal friends across the globe, some of whom that never saw him live. I did see him for sveral years till the laset Dec Vegas engagement in 1976, where he looked terrible and could not stay through the performance without being on a stool, at that time i knew there was a problem, the show only lasted 30 minutes......it was sad to see him go out like that.....wish he lived for many many more years and made another sper comeback......anyway we have the a lot of good years to remember him by,

[@bonniecornell5543]

Love this one.. Like I had mentioned... He I believe rt after this one is suspicious minds...hes just as awesome. X10 ..

[@shawneedalegrimm9728]

Thank you so much for your reactions to this Elvis great. Yup! The suit was great and he was in perfect form. The band was great and I don't think Elvis would have had it any other way. I too believe that he was having a great time and the little things, like the note, that came into play were definitely fun. He was the King! R.I.P. Elvis Presley

[@johngibsonmusic]

I totally agree! Thank you!

[@joannedungan8381]

That's the chain suit. I also like the white with fringe from this era and of course his iconic American eagle suit from aloha from Hawaii

[@brendaisajiw3417]

He does look pretty darn good and that for sure is a nice fitting outfit! He certainly enjoyed performing with a comedic flare!

[@larryfranks3616]

You gotta see the footage of Elvis in his rehearsal room wearing the red Burning Love Jumpsuit 1972, he looks like a prince from another planet👍

I‘ll check it out!

Elvis the best the king the voice James Burton The man.

[@alameas6358]

He was cool guy, at this time. And i totally agree, this white suit is my favorite, too. At the time between '68- '73 he was in great condition. And you can see what fun he had on stage. The band and he was a team and it worked great together. 🎶 Thanks for your reaction, and keep up the good work.!

[@johngibsonmusic]

alamea S Thank you so much for your comment. Really appreciate it. Yes! Elvis is having so much fun performing Polk Salad Annie.

[@richardeidemiller6739]

I agree 68 -73 were my favorite years for him physically and vocally. As a woman I found his looks near perfection during this time frame. Beautiful!

[@maximusextreme3725]

The dude just had so much swag. Women loved him and guys wanted to be him. I wish I could have seen him live in the early 70's.

[@tcb5677]

A great Elvis staple in his live shows , the drummer Ronnie Tutt and Elvis show their strong connection in alot of songs like this and James Burton Guitar adds that soulful flavor great Swamp Rock on this one

[@johngibsonmusic]

Angel I agree! They really had a strong connection on stage which is very important for a good performance. Thanks for watching.

[@maryannemelenka9250]

Elvis always stood in front of the drums. To the beat, he almost conducted.

I can listen or watch his dvd too for 12 hours . Sometimes until 3am . Don’t call crazy.

[@mariasoto9593]

Nothing..like Him..

[@jaredhowe2847]

When Elvis pulled the piece of paper out of his belt and read it... it had the names of the celebrities in the audience. After polk salad annie Elvis would take a break and catch a breather. He would introduce the celebrities in the audience, then introduce the Band members and backup vocalist... then continue with the show.

[@johngibsonmusic]

Jared Howe I didn’t know that! Thank you!

[@waynedoyle5584]

correction......elvis was told before show who was in show ....source.....lamar fike , the guy who over saw shows ...in fact ....lamar tells a funny story about elvis not remembering who was who .....if he had notes he would not screw up and why would he carry notes in belt when he could drop it...when ya think about ....it does not make sense ....futhermore....as a educated well read fan on elvis for over 30 years ...NEVER heard this before ....and i know every little detail....the note i guess is from woman fan who i guess put her name and number on it and placed it in his belt when he was kissing them ....that makes more sense ....ummm ?

[@jaredhowe2847]

@@waynedoyle5584 my source is Jerry Schilling. I asked Jerry one night what was Elvis Reading from his belt? Jerry told me the names of celebrities in the audience. Elvis was fearful of forgetting somebody... and embarrassing them by doing so. It was his way of reminding himself. I worked for RCA and ran the soundboard for the live recordings in the Showroom. Col. Parker requested me and/or 3 another Recording Engineers at RCA come do the Recording. The Col would record many shows and have us come in on scheduled nights to do the recordings. Everything was pre- planned. We also did Tour Recordings as well. What do you think Elvis was reading off that piece of paper? Tell me please. You're not the expert you think you are. I was around Elvis from 1961 until his untimely death in 1977. I and Mike ran the soundboard for the 68 TV Special recordings, the Aloha Show in Hawaii, and his last 3 shows filming the CBS TV Special. I worked the soundboard for about 3/4's of the Movie Soundtrack Albums in the 60's... anything Elvis recorded in Hollywood, Mike Pringle, Buddy Postell, Art Smith, Johnny Otter or Myself worked the recordings along with Felton Jarvis who flew in from Nashville out of the RCA Studio there. I met Elvis and we were on a first name basis. He was always grateful to the musicians and studio engineers... and friendly with all of us. I retired from RCA in 1995. I am now 79 years old. And had lunch with Jerry Schilling and Buddy Postell about two months ago in Las Vegas. So I know for sure what was on the pieces of paper in his belt. And it was Charlie Hodge who gave the papers/celebrity list to Elvis. Lamar Fike worked the Spotlights in the Showroom for the shows.

[@georgerutnam7423]

He WAS THE KING, no other like him! For you younger ones, he came like a comet, and left like a Comet! Too short!

Elvis Presley's ability to deconstruct songwriters songs and construct them into something better and beyond the original versions shows another side of Presley that is little known by the general public. . Nevertheless it shows Presley as creative genius of lyrical interpretation.

[@gretchenhughes9652]

He was so much fun to watch. And the stage presence!!!❤

[@taylorkingston9197]

So many elements at play here that first requires acknowledgement of his beauty. But for us, he contorts it, to surrender himself to the music. His body becomes an instrument with perfect timing. He injects oddities to remind us who is in charge…not him, not us. He takes us on a rhythmic journey that can only be described as painful when realizing that it has ended… but what a ride. The incomparable Elvis Presley.

Love watching him sing this

[@georgerutnam7423]

Sandra Miller You understand Elvis so well, he was a performer, back then writers were not performers, and they would pitch their songs to Elvis, and is a cardinal rule that the did not record them! If he had they would not have made the money they did, and 'THEY" all thanked himm all the way to the bank. I am tired of explaining to people who are not looking at the big picture back then. Ignorance is not something I can tolerate, if anyone needs to study the man, go back to the day, and ask all those songwritesr how happy they were for Elvis to record their songs, and break the barrier! Enuffsaid! I hope one day I meet you Sandra! Best Always!
