SURRENDER - Elvis Presley - SINGER REACTS!

[@DiverBand]

I’ve been a lifelong fanatic Elvis fan since the age of five and I’m currently 54. I started singing at the age of five specifically because of this man. The more people honestly take the time to break down his vocals. The more people appreciate just how dynamic and fantastic of a singer he truly was. He had the uncanny ability to make it seem like he was singing only to you at any one time. His vocal texture and warmth I just simply off the scale. And when he wants to go up and stretch himself he does so flawlessly. The total package in my honest opinion. Long live the king!

[@jazzpianoman01]

This proves Elvis was truly versatile

[@jazzpianoman01]

One of Elvis’s best; his vocal range is incredible

[@dekerivers5798]

No other pop/rock singer could have pulled this off like Elvis.

[@ihatechange]

@Deke Rivers * AMEN!!

[@user-dc1dw2np1w]

Surrender is probably the best vocal recording Elvis ever recorded, from the brilliant His hand in mine sessions, Oct 1960 , TOP vocal , in less than 2 minutes Elvis gave everything, all the Elvis Elements as you said....

[@pablomayoral3869]

I agree completely

[@dianejohnson1836]

His vocal range is OMG!!

[@Machomannorway]

English version of the italian song, «Torna a Sorrento». At only 1 minute, 47 seconds, it was the shortest song to ever top Billboard in 1961. Following the monster hit, It’s Now Or Never, italian style. This man could sing anything, and better than anyone.

[@terjesamuelsen9509]

This must be one of Elvis best performances.. what a voice he truly had.. 🙏

[@ITILII]

Elvis, the ONLY artist to be inducted in 5 (FIVE) ! music halls of fame: Country, Gospel, Rhythm and Blues, Rockabilly and yes, Rock and Roll.....Elvis the most iconic, influential and beloved figure in rock and roll history......and the greatest Entertainer/Performer of ALL TIME !!!

[@RJsStudio131]

An interesting bit of trivia about this song..When in the studio, Elvis was having difficulty hitting that last note and wanted to drop the key, but the producer said that it would not sound as strong with the rest of the song. So he got some advice from an opera singer. Told him to act like he was dry heaving the note from his gut, like he was vomiting..after laughing, you get what you hear...

[@reneleclerc6119]

That "opera singer" who worked with Elvis was Ray Walker, who just happened to be at the session where "Surrender" was recorded, since he was the bass singer with the Jordanaires.

[@RJsStudio131]

@@reneleclerc6119 thanks. I couldn’t remember the name. I loved the story. Can’t remember who I heard it from it was years ago.

[@stevenyurik2924]

true...

[@ihatechange]

Never heard that until now. Interesting. Elvis always tried to "stretch" his voice!

[@pablomayoral3869]

Could it be a G note? or A-?

[@gary17509]

Oh so sweet! No other voice on earth like Elvis'!

[@johnrider5701]

Elvis's voice had definitely matured while he was in the army.

[@deniserhodes2655]

I think this song really shows off his voice to it's fullest. Incredible 💙

[@gregraymond428]

G’day Dani. All hail our “King” people! Let’s Surrender to to our “King”. Me first.(Ha,Ha) Great song choice. Beautiful vocal range of course by Elvis. Love this song. Next,we shall vote for Marie’s The Name Of His Latest Flame. Then Guitar Man, Then It’s Now Or Never. (Yeah baby) Rock on Dani and Elvis.Love ya heaps.👍🇦🇺🤪😁❤️🌹☮️🤩🎸🎼🎵🎶🎹

[@dalem8332]

Great #1 song from Elvis. Great vocals. 😎🎼🎵🎶🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@jeffstewart9992]

Elvis was such an amazing talent

[@TheBohemianAngels]

I believe this song was the basis for the intro's to the Jame Bond movies. This song should have been the first song ever to be used on Bond movies. Love the feel and style of this song that Elvis sings with an operatic voice.

[@tootalazaaz]

Way to go Dani. What a song and voice. Truly they actually loved each other.

[@heribertorojas2825]

Elvis , cantando surrender , se pasó , , su talento interpretativo al máximo , Elvis impresióna como alguien puede cantar de esta forma ???

[@carldietze1624]

Great reaction, Dani. Ann Margaret and Elvis were some fabulous couple.

[@bobcampbell6025]

When elvis came back from the army in 1960 he came back with this voice it was more mature and operatic and even opera stars were in awe of him pavaroti said he could sing like me but I couldn’t sing like him ! with this voice in 1960 elvis gave us songs like it’s now or never, are you lonesome tonight? can’t help falling in love and surrender to name a few, his range and tone in these songs are incredible but this song in particular I’ve always loved for the highs and lows and most of all that incredible high operatic note at the very end which always gives me goosebumps every time I hear it! these songs and this one In particular shows what a great and versatile singer he truly was , outstanding!

[@mathiasstrom7790]

If Elvis had been professionally trained, he wouldve 1000% been the greatest opera singer in history. He had absolutely everything, pitch, emotion, control etc etc. A voice like his comes once in a century, if that. I would put Orbison above Elvis in technique and range, even Elvis thought Roy was the greatest singer ever but Elvis had something that few others had. Michael Jackson is the only one I can think of that had the same thing. I think what I mean is, it would probably sound good even if they sang out of key thats how good their voices sounded in general lol idk tbh

[@bobcampbell6025]

@@mathiasstrom7790 very true! what could’ve been!

[@reneleclerc6119]

By the time Elvis recorded "Surrender," he was a much better singer than he had been in the 1950s. During his time in Germany, he worked with Charlie Hodge, and back in the US he worked with the Jordanaires' Ray Walker, who was a singing teacher professionally.

[@alansmith.9930]

Haha are u serious mate , he has always been a great singer, the greatest voice of all time

[@burntbacon7995]

It's true.

[@sorrystaunton]

Try his version of Its Now Or Never......just as good as Surrender.

[@davidkent3843]

I do agree with that but surrender was just something that never gets mentioned and as a child that was actually one of my but it's now or never I do agree this was just a different song

[@elvispresleygaribaldi1600]

LOOKING AT YOU AND LISTENING TO ELVIS IS LIKE CREAM IN MY COFFEE. LOVE YOU.

[@DaniAtkinson]

So sweet!! Thank you.

[@beverlysanders4209]

It’s now or never is a song in this vein and he kills it it’s to the tune of ole sol a mio he loved the Italian music

[@joepowell7025]

His biggest seller of all time

[@patrickdevries6267]

This song is an example that Elvis could sing like for ex Roy Orbison. In 1970 he recorded the song Tomorrow never comes which he sang also in concert and in concert he started that song with the intro of Running Scared. This happened in the International Hotel of Las Vegas

[@antonmulder9413]

Dani what a powerfull elvis song great chemistrey between elvis and Ann magret

[@harrynixon7004]

Magic ! Magic ! Magic ! Elvis.knew how to use his GOD given talent like no other singer! ! This song. showed Elvis' dramatic side to his voice ! Thank you for the great reaction !

[@philippesauvie639]

Boom! Elvis goes full on Mario Lanza! Loved your take on this song. As a non-singer musician I can now appreciate more than I had before, I am a poet and did not know it! 😉

[@thomasangelo4219]

Elvis did so many takes of the end of the song He wanted to get it just right He was awesome Another great song of Elvis's suspicion

[@christopherjames7216]

I love his voice in this one. Can’t beat 60s Elvis. After losing his mother, after the army. He’s in a dark and interesting place privately and music is changing. He recorded “Little Sister” (very early 60s sound) “Such a night” “Fever” all from this era. Then he closes out the 60s with the 68 comeback special! And that’s PEAK Elvis, imo.

[@aprilradovic1356]

a beautiful song that will tug at your heart, ( IMEET HER TO-DAY )LOVE YOUR REACTIONS, i still feel the same way as back in the 60s ,i see a little of me in you , ELVIS FOR EVER

[@MsAppeljack]

Elvis always wanted to be an opera singer. But was never able to afford the training. So he went a different direction. Cheers.

im a longtime elvis fan myself dani and im still discovering new songs of his and its always mindblowing as to how good he was heres 2 songs from when he was young to react to im sure youd love as much as surrender one is young dreams and cant help falling in love 19y1 version in blue hawaii young dreams i think is flaming star or king creole i forget but its still great neverless thanks and i hope you enjoy elvis as we all have

[@davidkent3843]

Hey anybody hear Elvis loved on look. Guys get her attention with this one. Just heard it o m g . Recommend her to react to this. This song kicks - - -

[@johnsav2001]

This song is taken from the original Italian song Torna A Surriento sung by the greats Caruso, Lanza and Pavarotti. Elvis loved listening to Mario Lanza and hence why he recorded not only this some but also O Sole Mio/It’s Now or Never. Elvis’ English versions gives the Italian greats a good run for their money. I wish Elvis lived long enough to do a duet with Pavarotti featuring both of these songs. It would have been wild!😃

[@julialesleysheppard]

Didn’t Pavarotti say he believed Elvis could sing opera, but he could never sing like Elvis?!!👌🕺💕

[@user-lt7dq5ih8v]

@@julialesleysheppard yes he did say that!

Surrender has that Latin vibe just like It's now or Never; and that was beautiful too. Elvis the great.

This is one of my all-time favorites by Elvis. It was a nice touch by the fan who made this video to include scenes with Ann-Margret from Viva Las Vegas.

[@rodneylewisboyd734]

Ray Walker of the Jordanairres (a music coach also) was asked by Elvis how to hit that last note. Ray told Him to act as if he was throwing up to reach the note.

[@willapicton8361]

And that was Ginger Alden in the audience she absolutely loved Elvis beyond words they were together for a short time but Linda Thompson was his last love Up until the end. 💞💞💞💞

Hi Dani I just watched one of your videos that you had a blind reaction to Elvis Unchained Melody , I have to say you will never ever ever in history ever hear a voice like that ever again enjoy all his videos and I would suggest look at videos that have been remastered to hear his entire vocal range you'll be even more surprised take care from Canada GenX 😎💞 EP FOREVER!!!

[@suspiciousminds1750]

Here's some geek trivia for you: I heard this repeated several times including on the sirius Elvis channel. Elvis was having trouble hitting that last high note at the very end, so another singer or vocal coach (I forgot which) told him that in order to hit the note from his diaphragm, he had to sing it as if he was...uh. "heaving". It worked, listen to it again. -If David gets a song for his 50th, then I should get a whole concert, LOL.
