SINGER REACTS - ELVIS PRESLEY - DANNY BOY

[@djtomleeuwen]

The voice, the performance, the personality. Nobody before him and nobody after him had it all. Elvis!

[@Jeri_C11]

That cry in his voice is enormous to bring tears to the eyes of the hardest person. Beautifully done with that liquid gold voice. 😪

Thank you Mom and Dad..For naming me ..Danny....young lady you have a beautiful voice..Elvis you are The King..

[@BigRed-Heron]

His voice was made for this song! No one else can even come close to his compassion and vocals!! Long live the King’s Legion for eternity!

[@benjamins.5428]

One of a kind ! Speechless and Elvis voice is divine and heavenly

[@tlbeman]

My Dad was never an Elvis fan. He heard me playing this one time, and choked up a little, said it was the most beautiful he had ever heard it sung.

[@WildlifeSA963]

Yes it's beautifully sung 👍

[@Twilight-cl3zc]

He was right and I'm not being a blind Elvis supporter, it truly is the best and this song is often massacred in the UK at least, along with "My Way". My mother isn't an Elvis fan, never was and I say "But the Vegas Elvis later years...what a voice!?" She says "Never liked him" Oh well, what might seem beyond doubt in some people's eyes is actually doubted by many... it's life and life only.

[@depper]

His ability to PRONUNCIATION EVERY SYLLABLE with such a unique voice makes him a one of a kind talent. This Irish classic was handled PERFECTLY by Elvis. Its an overwhelming song and Elvis' ability to transfer and enact emotions with his ALWAYS IN KEY and DEEP RICH BARITONE is so powerful here. A CLASSIC. God gifted beyond comprehension. Those of us that can sing, professionally, can only look at this and appreciate the raw ability of Elvis'. And classically untrained? You don't see very many people make it to this level without being classically trained. And quite realistically he was the ONLY ONE to make it as far as he did, the greatest selling musician of all time.

[@terrycrider6642]

Amen!.He definitely was once in a lifetime entertainer, and person, he had a magnetism about him I don’t know how anyone could not like him there’s no other voice, in my opinion that can touch his.

[@johnjohns6181]

Danny Boy is not an Irish song. Danny Boy is set to an old Irish aire while the lyrics were written by an Englishman to entice Irishmen to volunteer to joining the British military during the World War One.

[@depper]

@@fredbloggs6080 The original LYRICS were written by an English lawyer, Frederic Weatherly, but the MUSIC is PURE IRISH. A few years after he put pen to paper, Weatherly’s Irish-born sister-in-law sent him the tune ‘Londonderry Air’. The lawyer, captured by the sweeping melody, tweaked his lyrics and set them to the music. In 1851, a woman called Jane Ross heard an unnamed fiddler playing it in Limavady, Ireland. Ross asked if she could transcribe the music for her friend in Dublin, who was trying to preserve the ancient music of Ireland. The fiddler, whose name has sadly been lost in the annals, agreed. Since then its known as an anthem of Ireland. And the Irish are very proud of the song, and it's meaning.

[@OverandOutChief1]

Especially during these years, I truly believe Elvis was selecting music that reflected how he was feeling.

[@lindaklinger5453]

I love all of Elvis's music and movies. He's very handsome. And he sings so beautiful in every song.

[@ptournas]

Brought tears to my eyes too. My father had a friend named Danny who used to ask him to sing this song over his grave. His friend died young. The first time I heard this song I saw that he had tears in his eyes and he told me why. I believe it was the Bing Crosby version, I know it was long before Elvis released this beautiful version.

[@cindyphifer970]

Love Elvis beautiful inside and out

[@teresahowell3219]

I couldn't help but cry. It's been awhile since hearing Elvis sing Danny Boy. Dani, I have watched your beautiful Elvis reactions the past couple of days. I love seeing new fans of Elvis. I was 18 when we lost Elvis August 16, 1977. I visited Graceland the summer of 1986. The cars were still there too. Minnie was living there. We weren't allowed in the kitchen or upstairs. I watched your live feed, pics of Graceland. Thank you for being a fan of Elvis. I feel hard for him at age 10 and still a fan. Sadly, I didn't get to see him live. His music lives on and thanks to you he has new fans. Thank you very much for thankful Thursdays.

[@markmoscatello9461]

Elvis' father died in 1979. Minnie Mae Presley outlived her son and grandson but I don't think she was still alive in 1986. I forgot the year she died. I remember that outlived both though. Let ve the comment. Just wanted.to get the facts right. Minnie might of.stil lived past 1986.

[@kellyfindley1485]

He recorded that in the jungle room at Grace land

[@adenilsonsouza6055]

Dani Atkinson beautiful, beautiful, beautiful............

[@barryyoung969]

One of the last songs he ever recorded part of the jungle room sessions from 1976. This version was not on the album,. “From Elvis Presley Boulevard in Memphis TN” . If you look through KZbin you could find a live version that he did in Tucson on June 1, 1976. It was a request from the audience he wasn’t even prepared to sing it and he just killed it. But your reaction was absolutely so beautiful Dani, I never saw your face look that intense when that song ended.

[@charlesbunch8383]

BEAUTIFUL

[@charlesbunch8383]

There is another version where he soars to a higher note on the word "then" in the line "and then my grave shall richer sweeter be." Also on other lines, he does the same thing to heighten the emotion of this song. I think I speak for everybody when I say I appreciate you showing your emotional reaction to Danny Boy. We have all been there.

Love it! Don't feel bad about getting emotional. Elvis was created to make us feel our emotions. His dad asked him to record this in 1976. If you're interested there's a home recording from 1959. The version you listened to was beautiful, but check out the 2020 enhanced remastered version. It's even more spectacular especially the ending.

I'm a gentleman and I don't wanna to tread on a girl.tjats not mine but Dani you are something else. When I first saw ur reaction videos i.was.in a bad place. Your brightness helped to love my passion for music again. I've.carried the world on my shoulders my whole life..I always felt like I was born and God had instilled ine.talent like not or of ppl have. I lost the passion.amd.isolated . myself..I felt that there are so few natural talents like Elvis was. People should understand that Elvis carried alot on his shoulders. I'm sure he.felt he had.to.carry the load in life. He should of learned to say no and taken charge.of his life. I wasn't alive when he was alive but I've been a fan for.32.years. You know your a rare sort of person when you can sing.and touch people in a way not many people can. If he lived longer I bet he would have.went.more.gospel again.

[@taylordavis6620]

I hope I'm not repeating info already provided. But this song is about a grandfather singing to his beloved grandson, and the grandfather expressing that he (the grandfather) may pass away before the grandson returns from being away. He's asking the grandson to come to the grave, and tread softly, and kneel and say a prayer for him. Grandfather is looking forward to when the two of them can be together again in Heaven.

[@mattpotter8725]

This is one of the most famous and best liked Irish folk songs. I've never heard Elvis sing this. I guess with the surname Presley there was some Irish in him. My grandpa wants this song sang at his funeral, he's Irish and is 101 and still going strong. Great reaction!!! You should check out some other versions of this, which are just as moving. This is a very special song!!!

[@georgebarnes8163]

[@kerrythomas6220]

“Take my hand Precious Lord”. Please react to that. It’s a gospel song. I’m 74 years old and not particularly religious, but I react with tears every time I hear that song. Keep a tissue nearby, as his voice will drive you to tears in this one. How can a singer start making me believe in God, when nothing else could? And he’s been dead almost 45 years!

Hi Dani, my favorite renditions of the classic and legendary Irish song "Danny Boy" are all by Elvis Presley. I want you to know that the only time that Elvis performed "Danny Boy" live on stage in concert was on June 1, 1976 in Tucson, Arizona. My favorite Elvis rendition of "Danny Boy" is the live on stage in concert version.

[@grigoriorifiel]

This is an old Irish tenor standard. I always like your reactions and you are always beautiful and sweet. Unfortunately, this is not the original recorded version Elvis did of this song. The original version was when he was much younger and was a tenor. You can tell this was done later in his career when his voice was more matured and more of a baritone. The original version was also done in the traditional Irish style. If this choked you up you should hear the original because it is truly a one-of-a-kind version of this song. This version is good, as all Elvis songs are, and I honestly have never heard this version before. Elvis has also done many other ethnic standards including Santa Lucia (Italian), Wooden Heart (German), and Guadalajara (Mexican).

[@bryandennis7335]

My buddy David Briggs played the piano on this. David played on all of Elvis's recordings from 1966 till the Moody Blue album recorded in January of 1976 and would be Elvis's last record. David didn't play on the American Sound or STAX recordings. David ran all the recordings for RCA that were done at Graceland. Danny Boy may be the very best vocal Elvis ever gave.

Hey Dani, if I might be permitted a suggestion for a reaction video, may I suggest one of ABBA's BRAND NEW releases...yes, that's right, they are back together and just released two new singles in advance of their new album coming out in November and their new concert next May! So anyway, the first single "I Still Have Faith In You" is something of a tribute to each other and has more of a "theatrical" sound to it. The second single "Don't Shut Me Down" has more of the old ABBA disco sound. Thank you for your consideration. Wishing you all the best.
