[@robbansa]

Another great Elvis reaction, keep it up.

[@jethro1963]

No love for the Jordanaires in the comments? They were the GOATs of background groups.

[@christinaccontarino6441]

They told Elvis Not to move his hips.That's Why

[@christinaccontarino6441]

Tell me about I lived it.

[@paulasmith3179]

He didn't move much because they wern't allowed to film him from the waist down. He was considered vulgar back in his time. I love Elvis, thank you for this reaction.

[@thor8580]

Isn’t that hilarious compared to now. I remember when…

[@jerryellioitt7419]

Exactly! Which is why he did that sly smile then started shaking his arm in defiance 😂

[@marcialynn6257]

Csme here to say just that lol my mom went to 1 of hid concerts at 13 my grandmother was non to happy she did t know because they didn't show him below the waist on tv lol

[@duaneshank6788]

Also i want to point out to you that after a few live tv performances were deemed to be vulgar and indecent for the time, Elvis was told to tone it down and they began filming him from above the waist only. Thats how strict it was back then, and why Elvis seemed reserved and calmer in this one.

[@charlottesmith7396]

They only filmed him above the waist

[@maureennewman905]

That only happened on EdSullivan Show , he wasn’t filmed waist up at other times

[@35daphni]

I've been sitting here watching you React to all these Elvis videos. I found myself smiling and laughing at your reactions, because they are so pure and honest. You have brightened this old lady's day. ❤️

[@jackiebrewer8991]

Elvis is and will always be the coolest...no one comes close to him. Love your reactions..

[@JillSmith-tw4ly]

I about die when he growls "HereWeGo".😍

[@jtj909]

Elvis sings like man. No falsetto, no tricks, no auto tune.... just a natural smooth baritone. One of the all time greats for sure.

[@TheSonya9199]

This was on the Ed Sullivan Show which he appeared several times. This particular one as you saw he was shown from the waste up because of his "wiggling" watch more from This time period.. He had so much talent and love for his fans.. I don't remember a time when I wasn't an Elvis fan.. Also from his movie King Creole which was filmed on Location in New Orleans before he did his time in the Army, look up Crawfish and Trouble. Thanks from all us Elvis fans for helping to keep his legacy going.

[@sherylmcclure400]

One thing about Elvis,you can never take your eyes off him,you never know what he is going to do

[@stevepomeroy-rockin-pa-realtor]

On this one he was already in trouble and threats to arrest him and even death threats were everywhere. Host Ed Sullivan (the most important TV host of the century and ever) gave Elvis the ultimate break but nationwide anger was penetrating even this show. Sullivan said he had to chill out the dance moves and he did until the end. But the cast was set. Elvis was a huge hit on every Ed Sullivan show appearance. Add in Hound Dog and even a Christian gospel number and Elvis was the most popular singer in US history just like that. Ed Sullivan was more powerful than even todays internet as some 80% of US homes watched that show. That’s insane power.

[@caroljones8326]

Elvis died when I was 8 yrs old. I cried for days, his death was my 1st heartbreak 💔

[@Wildlife_SA.]

Hi Pzo... discovered your channel today. I've subbed because it's Elvis! 🎸 This man is phenomenal, and is still loved worldwide. More Elvis please! 🌍🇿🇦

[@marygammons3323]

Best young Elvis dance performance is hound dog on the Milton Berle show. Love your reactions and thanks for keeping Elvis alive.

[@AngelasJoys]

It's a joy to watch your reactions. You're a sincere young man. Thank you.

[@barbaragonzalez3504]

The censorship at that time was very strict; therefore, Elvis could not move like he wanted to. He was prohibited to move below the waist. If you notice, this video is above the waist (to ensure) that Elvis would adhere to the restrictions. He still managed to inject his personality into the performance. Things were different then. This is way before my to time, but I know that in my time there were remnants of that era. Elvis was instrumental in changing things, in his time. He was a trailblazer. New artists owe a debt to Elvis.

[@sallycook]

Right at the end of the video you can see Elvis the moment he realised he was only being shot from the waist up. You can see the mischievous look on his face just before he breaks loose in the last few seconds of his performance.

[@bandmom3505]

I noticed that, too. "Here we go!" You know what he's doing by the crowd reaction! 😁😁

[@lindataggart9076]

Thankyou for loving our Elvis Now he's yours too.. Such a handsome fella. Sigh!

[@ellenbashaw5110]

The amazing thing about it is there was no auto turning back then. His voice was perfect. As a matter of fact because of the way his voice landed on the "note scale" his voice could not be auto tuned. If anyone tried it would end up being distorted. Look up youtuber " pegasus"...

[@duaneshank6788]

So happy to see you becoming an Elvis fan

[@nancy9891]

He was born in 1935 so he is 22 in this video. Such a handsome man. Compare his looks to his background singers. They are okay but, he is So freaking cute that females totally melted around him.

[@rongrover3383]

Great job thank you!

[@melaniesander2569]

Love your reaction on Elvis! Thank you for going down the Elvis rabbit hole you only have about 800 songs to go!! 🐇😂🎶

[@marshaboyer7013]

I really enjoy that a young person can enjoy something from the past. And who doesn’t enjoy Elvis

[@onetruthmediacompany]

#PzoMalone check out the video "Elvis & the Black community" you'll be blown away & you'll have your heart touched. You're going to love it !

[@growitheflow]

This one

[@belinda35_77]

He already reacted to it. You can find it on his ch :)

[@christianwinston9237]

I have watched a couple of your reaction videos to Elvis and I am really impressed with the fact that you are very open to things outside of what your generation knows. Elvis was my mother's time so I grew up loving him because of her, but I'm happy to see how you understand his humor, changes of tempo, tone, dance moves and the way he interacted with the audience. I think it shows that even though you are young you are very intelligent and understanding in a much deeper old soul kinda way. Keep it up!

[@nadomaya37]

You really need to watch the ELVIS movie! It’s fantastic and you’ll learn so much about him!

[@cynthiajamison4006]

They basically censored it because he moved too much from his waist down and they thought it was lewd and way too sexy, it just wasn't something you would put on TV so that's why they censored it and only allowed him to be shot from the waist up. Didn't make any difference everybody knew what was happening from the waist down LOL

[@darleneadams6844]

You still need to see his Jailhouse Rock, You Aint Nothing But A Hound dog, And Teddy Bear

[@cindyphifer970]

Love Elvis always

[@lillianthomas8445]

Back at this time Elvis was banned from being filmed lower than his chest. They thought that the way he moved was too much for television, and people tried to ban him from singing and performing.

[@michellejackson6679]

How can you not love this man.. truly.. he felt his music.. that's what makes a great artist.

[@melliehobson8299]

What a sweet young man you are. Thanks for featuring Elvis. His youth was his best years. And he was sweet and humble like you.

[@hongngo3029]

Oh my god , Elvis Presley is the only one in hundred years happened, he was the one who got everything in top of the world. Thank you to brought Elvis Presley alive . His music would be alive for ever 👍👍👍👍👍

[@joeyabernathy2614]

Good to see that level of appreciation , for everything.

[@richcarbone3683]

Check out Hound Dog on the Milton Berle show where he was allowed to dance around. He improvised a special ending that he never did before. His chat with Milton is great too😊

[@belinda35_77]

You should have done Hound Dog on the Milton Berle show first. That is his first national TV appearance and the one that almost got him barred from tv for his "vulgar" performance lol You notice this one is only filmed from the waist up, that is why. It came after Hound Dog on Milton Berle. So, it's unfortunate you can't see his moves in this one. I won't leave any more recommendations here because I've left quite a few in my other comments already trying to help you out with a good order to watch these in :)

[@Jeri_C11]

There’s the 50’s, 60’s, & 70’s Elvis. So many unique songs and ways of singing as he matured. If you haven’t done Bridge Over Troubled Water live 1070, it’s phenomenal & though I e heard it covered by many people, once you’ve heard Elvis sing a song, it usually becomes your favorite. A really powerful song that grows in power is Tomorrow Never Comes ( not done live but a terrific song) to react to. Thanks for doing Elvis & you’re an enjoyable young man. God bless. 😊❤❤❤

[@polocash11]

He must have been really young then.

[@Jeri_C11]

@@polocash11 Yes, he was very young in this clip. He was born in 1935, so I’m not sure of the yr but it was in upper 50’s. He was about 21 or so. It’s sad to think he was already about half way through his life.

[@beckyphillips7924]

Hey wasn’t allowed to be shown below the waste on that show😊

[@erlindamartinez8521]

Wow love your reaction. More Elvis please 💕💕💕💕

[@marlewin5249]

He was warned not to do any vulgar moves on TV. So he was reluctant but did the best he could.

[@anastasia10017]

Elvis was revolutionary because he used to move on stage. Elvis could dance and swing his ass. Elvis was the first singer you needed to watch sing. All the others before him just stood still and sang their song. Elvis had the moves and he moved. People thought he was vulgar, indecent and too sexy. Elvis moving on stage was a huge scandal and very very controversial. Parents didnt want their daughters to see Elvis. TV networks censored him and would only show him from the waist up in case he swung his hips. In Florida, the police chief came to elvis before his show and told him he would be arrested and thrown in jail if he moved even a finger on stage. So Elvis did his show on stage, didnt move, and held up his hand and moved his little finger to the beat.

[@nedrawarwick3840]

1957 is when Elvis changed everything for the younger generation. If you have time check out the type of music before him Perry Como- Frank Sinatra & Bing Crosby. Then along came Elvis hips moving and the fast beat music was all new and the teenagers loved it

[@MaliceInCandyland]

The lyrics are lovely. Elvis made so many great love songs to vibe with with your lady/man. If they don't like Elvis though, they're not The One. :P

[@kimfladung]

I'm really enjoying your reaction videos and that you are so passionate and appreciate Elvis' performances. It's nice to go on this journey with you that brings back so many memories for me. I look forward to receiving more of them. Thank you for sharing. 💖

[@delorespetree3243]

He was a mover back then love his younger years

[@MICKEY4356]

Nobody had ever seen anything like Elvis before. ⚡

[@itsakittyting]

Elvis made me blush ☺

[@rethamoore4282]

When Elvis sings he feels every second of it but the really amazing thing is his fans ( me for one ) I feel it deep down in my soul and my heart beats faster than it should I feel my heart beat in my throat and deep down in my stomach and my legs get super weak !! That is when you know you just heard the best there is on the planet !! Even at 70 years old it still happens to me. I LOVE ELVIS !!

[@idamsmith3785]

He is known as the King of rock and roll but also sang gospel. Ironically at the time promoters pitched him as a white guy who sounded like a black man.

[@ariesred777]

Little did Elvis know then his life was going to be one hell of a ride

[@beegee1960]

when this record first came out a lot of people did not realize that the bobbing sound from the background singers was people and not some instrument.

[@MsMaryLS]

I love your reactions!! Elvis is my favorite, and I was blessed to be able to see him in person in 1973!

[@diannesteel3557]

Loved the fact that you tried to listen but just had to keep stopping to comment because you were so impressed. Elvis is amazing.

[@thymeout4rosemary446]

Just wanted to say that Elvis appeared 6 times on the Dorsey Bros stage show from Jan 1956-March 1956, then twice in June on The Milton Berle show, once on Steve Allen’s show and on Ed Sullivan in Sept. and Oct 56. He sang several songs on each of these performances. I think on the Jan. 57 show he sang 4 or 5 songs. My favorite is his Oct 56 performance of Hound Dog on the Ed Sullivan show, because he was such a tease, and showed his sense of humor while driving the females nuts.

[@juliabel2]

One of his besr in the 50s was from his favorite move "King Creole". If you will review King Creole and Craw Fish, you will see his incredible range and acting abilities

[@margiepelcman9837]

Elvis was censored from the waist down on television back then, he had to much hip movement🙄 he was nicknamed "Elvis the pelvis", lol. The fifties was a whole different world. A lifetime ago. Loved your reaction ☺️

[@sharonporter7132]

21 year old Elvis, 2 days before his birthday. Was only allowed on Sullivan show this time because he wasn't suppose to move lower body, he was banned from it. He couldn't help it. It was in his soul.😊

[@lisafarrell5996]

I forgot how beautiful he was inside and out.

[@shirleycarr5387]

He's got great moves in jailhouse rock from the movie jailhouse rock.

[@valerieblack6445]

I was going to suggest that also.

[@shirleycarr5387]

@@valerieblack6445 I've suggested it 4 times cause he hasn't seen Elvis moves his early moves.

[@joeldelco1471]

Beautiful voice, no other than like Elvis Presley!!

[@tchampagne1494]

Check it out, I was 3 years and 4 months old when this was recorded. This is one of my favorite Elvis songs, I will turn 70 this year and I have never seen this video before. Thank you for turning me on to this treasure. Even I am being exposed to music from my era that I haven't experienced before.

[@chrisbrimhall6323]

The man had charisma to the heavens, looks of a Hollywood leading man and a great voice.....such a shame him later years were so messed up by Colonel Parker

[@singluna888]

Dude! You have to react to JAILHOUSE ROCK. It's from his early movie days. It's awesome.

[@learningliving2600]

His pre 1968 comeback performances are the best. Watch his Ed Sullivan performance of "Hound Dog" for full Elvis butt kicking mind blowing experience!

[@shannoncarlson6960]

If Elvis danced from the beginning they likely would have went to a commercial. It's why he's only filmed from the waist up. He was the bad boy of that Era. Great reaction!

[@looneygardener]

These videos of the sweet and gifted Elvis break my heart. Fame and money can kill you.

[@thymeout4rosemary446]

The Ed Sullivan Oct 1956 show, Elvis whole body was filmed. I guess Sullivan, got nasty letters because in Jan.57, it was back to the waist up Elvis. Sexual things were not on TV back then, but Elvis changed the culture, clothing, hairstyles and music and things began to change.

[@user-fw4uo9bm9i]

yaaay more elvis thank you for reacting

[@cindie7086]

Elvis is “One of a Kind”

[@philsdon8932]

To get a real feel, a REAL feel for his magic check out his live "Love Me Tender". He reaches into the audience and kisses the girls. They offer him their handkerchiefs so he pat his face and hand it back to them. Even the men come forward. Being fabulous was just comfortable and natural to him.

[@lsenchuk]

Please remember this is when TV and any live shows he was doing were highly censored, they repeatedly warned him not to move like he normally does or they wouldn't have him on their shows. Many time (this one included) they shot him from the chest up so people at home couldn't see his hips and leg moves. Ridiculous when you watch TV today but that is what it was like back then.

[@RichLobo1944]

The background singers are "The Jordanaires" - 4 brothers who were all ministers. Elvis was very religious. As others have pointed out, they were not allowed to show him below the waist, his moves were considered vulgar.

[@staciemoisa4884]

You said you wanted to see how Elvis moved -- television required them to film him from the waist up. They were not allowed to show his "moves." lol

[@melliehobson8299]

This has been called the best song ever recorded.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Fantastic reaction. This is so fun. I think there's one from the same show where he does hound dog and while it was the Milton Berle show a few months earlier which is also on KZbin in black and white, that's the one where he slowed it down to half time without even giving his band any notice and just made everybody go crazy, that resulted in them largely not letting him show his dance moves a few months later when he started appearing on The Ed Sullivan show, as in this performance. But still his hound dog on this is great because you get to hear him come out on stage and he's got about 30 seconds of audience interaction before they started and then about the same afterwards and it just gives you a great insight into his stage persona as well as really, his character.

[@chris882211]

Also fuaght with mom my between her love for Elvis and mine for Jim Morrison. Now being 58 years old.. He was the king. You were right mom.. Love and miss you

[@gorse9030]

Great reaction to a muted and non below the waist Elvis as Ed Sullivan ruled the waves on TV back then. One performance people ignore but was the first I saw of him is 'Let Me ' a totally different type of song from him, taken from the Love Me Tender film in1956 where he really moves.

[@MaliceInCandyland]

Ed Sullivan (the show's host) was a real one. He was from Harlem and grew up during the Harlem Renaissance surrounded by Black excellence. He had a lot of Black performers on his show compared to other 40s, 50s, and 60s variety shows. And he also had rock 'n roll on his show, which a lot of people weren't down with because it was considered to be part of Black culture, which a lot of people hated.

[@halmo68]

Elvis le plus grand artiste de tous les temps.

[@dollygirl6487]

Before Elvis there was nobody. He opened up a whole new genre.

[@katm6086]

Can't wait to see why he could not go crazy. When you read the comments.

[@onetruthmediacompany]

#PzoMalone Fun fact about this video .... notice they don't show anything below the waist. That is because the 1st time he was on this show, he "shook his hips" and people went crazy about over it.

[@BroncoBabe1277]

This was on my birthday even though I wasn't Born until 71. This was also two days before Elvis Presley's birthday January 8th.

[@sharonporter7132]

Everybody has already posted that on his first Ed Sullivan show, he made his moves and all hell broke loose. Adults across country went berserk. Banned him from show. Too many fans protested, so Sullivan agreed to another appearance but only show from waist up. Everything going o.k. but Elvis acted like he was in chains, restrained. You caught it immediately near end by his curled lip, his head was down so you couldn't see his eyes dancing, smirking grin, background singers breaking up laughing, cause it was coming. That's when he let it go and was Elvis again. Then, he just walked off stage, didn't say anything to Sullivan. I remember watching it in 1957. He didn't let us down. 😅😊😊

[@anastasia10017]

That sparkly vest Elvis is wearing was sown for him by a girlfriend back home. She said she was surprised when she saw him wearing it on TV.

[@marnernordendal3927]

Long time ago thank you for playing Elvis Presley love it 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@nanook8721]

As others have said, when he was on national TV, they only showed him from the waist up because of his gyrations. They used to call him Elvis the Pelvis! It was considered not appropriate for television. You’ve got to react to Jailhouse Rock if you want to watch him move! You won’t be disappointed!

[@bonniemuller6108]

Oh he could move! They wouldn’t allow it! He thought it was comical because that’s how his body would just move and respond to the music. He never wanted to appear sexual. ❤

[@oneafter9095]

In this particular TV performance It was intentional that they film him from the waist up.

[@jeffkaplan8920]

Listen to young and beautiful..elvis love song....talent

[@MrAlanfalk73]

You should really react to "Hound dog", but it has tobe the one from the Milton Bearle show. It was that performance that showed on TV how Elvis performed on stage , and the establishment went crazy, priest called him the devil, radiostations banned his music, and commities went aroun at jukebox joints to make sure there were No Elvis records. Also make sure it is the unredacted version from the Milton Bearle show .
