I'm now 60 years old. I listen to Elvis each and every day of my life. ❤ May Elvis live forever in our hearts and this crazy world today.

@@cpkarkow663 I think there are just some songs that can never be recreated. The raw emotion he sang with here would not have been able to be recreated.

[@sarabrown9030]

My first ever "favorite song" decided when I was only 4 years old. Elvis had long since passed. But my Dad was a fan and kept majority of his performances on VHS and so I got to experience Elvis throughout my lifetime, even if it was after his own had ended. This song holds a special place in my heart forever. I fell in love the moment I first saw this. So literally 30 years of love for this performance, this man. He is the King. Forever.

Great commentary and Analysis. And you are 💯% on point that Elvis is actually "underrated". And something else about Elvis that no one talks about is he didn't just talk the talk with songs like this .. he walked the walk too. Regarding his legacy, that is probably one of the most unrecognized things about Elvis was his Humanity. He beat up a racist at the front gates of Graceland a year before this recording in 1967. A bigot named Troy Ivy was hurling racial slurs, when Elvis asked him to stop and the man continued, so Elvis tapped him on the chin...(so to speak lol). EP sent the guy running back for his car. Elvis was laughing - "that'll teach him not to come round here talking like that in the future". I've known about this for many years. But most people I've talked to, including Elvis historians, have no clue about it. He stood with the black members of his group when they were dealing with racism. They said how much it meant to them that Elvis had their backs. He also called out a number of people around him throughout the years on their bigotry when he witnessed it. I've been reading commentary regarding Elvis for decades. *Most of our pop-culture talking heads NEVER talk about THIS Elvis Presley* . It has bothered me for years that so many that has so much to say (or write) about Elvis (and this includes many Elvis historians for that matter) have ignored these important things. (Oh, they'll do it with *other* artists from that era...give them credit beyond the music, talking about the other positive things they stood for, or were about. But when comes to EP, it's like they don't want to give Elvis' humanity that credit, for some strange reason. Historians just keep overlooking things like I mentioned above). Says more about these "HISTORIANS" and our Culture .... than it says about Elvis. Anyway, again great break-down from you. I just wanted to add Elvis not only sang & embraced this song message, but he also stood on it's words. We say *actions* speak louder than words sometimes, well lot of people forget Elvis' *Actions* spoke volumes too. Always enjoy thoughtful commentary with reactions - (to any artist, not just Elvis reactions). Great job. Keep 'em coming.

[@mbrights3158]

A decade or so ago...I read that Elvis was in the top 3 vocalists of all time in a couple of lists I saw. ( I will look for them and post them if I find them). Also, many vocal experts and scholars (from Harvard and so on) have said he is the most talented vocal artist of all time. Also some of the finest vocalist in opera stated Elvis had the best voice. I don't recall her name, but she was the top female opera vocalist, she said that Elvis' voice was her favorite even above Pavarotti and others. Placido Domingo one of the top 3 male opera singers said that of all voices in popular culture, Elvis' is the voice he would like to have. Also, Elvis is inducted into more musical Halls of Fame than any other vocalist (5 Genres). Induction into a music Hall of Fame signifies "master of the genre"... He is inducted into Rock, Country, Gospel, R&B, and Rockabilly Halls of Fame....of course each having very distinct sounds vocally. The reason this is so significant...is because to be a master of a genre requires mastery of the vocal artistry of the genre. Each genre requires a unique vocal sound and artistry. The person closest to Elvis in mastery of genres, I believe is Johnny Cash, inducted into 3 Halls of Fame. Essentially, Elvis is a vocal master. Probably the greatest of all time.

It`s funny that you say that "They don`t show this side of Elvis". We, his fans have always known. And there`s a bunch of us out here. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, becomes famous like him for nothing. People just don`t dig deeper into stuff. But when they do, they soon realize that they are going down the rabbit hole. Elvis is sooo much more than just a singer or entertainer! Thanks for your great reaction and friendly greetings from Slovenia :)

Elvis is the greatest singer of all time.He is the only singer inevery hall of fame there is..nobody else is..just him. He had number one hits in every genre of music..nobody else has..has sold more recordings worldwide than anyone else Every entertainer today, every singer would want to be Elvis..nobody else just Elvis, according to Barry Gibbs of the Bee Gees..

He is from the Deep South just as I! So many of us from the area embraced the feeling and thoughts expressed by Elvis in this song! Back in the 60s my dad would say to us…. God made of all. We are no different! I’ve always appreciated that my parents brought us up to see the person and NOT the skin color!

[@tammyborkholder3922]

I enjoyed watching your reaction, I love it when young people get to see just how great he sang! He put his heart and soul into everything he sang! No auto tune just his great talent! We were given a gift from God when we were given this man!

Half a century later and he still influences listeners of all ages, races and creeds. Glad you found the Elvis rabbithole.

His backup singers cried after this performance. He only threw one run in, but boy was it memorable.

Elvis put his ❤️ and soul into this song

[@ornellabarbaro3861]

You should listen to Elvis sing “ Bridge Over Troubled Water “. In The documentary “ Elvis That’s The Way It Is “ Another masterpiece you won’t believe. Thank you for pointing out his incredible vocals. Elvis basically can sing any genre of music that’s out there. He has been inducted into 10Music Hall of Fame. 5 of Which are: Country, Gospel, Blues, Rock a billy and Rock and Roll. There almost certainly nothing he can’t sing.

He is shaking as he is singing. Elvis is singing from his soul! I read that even his background singers were crying while he was singing. After Elvis did this song he said he was never going to do another song or movie that he didn't believe in. He was no longer doing a song or movie just for the money.

Elvis loved gospel music - they say they played gospel music all night long. He won 3 Grammys for his gospel music. Yes he is underrated. I have been listening to him since I was a kid and never get tired of hearing his voice. When he died, I cried and could not believe it. This song needs to be out today. He sang with such compassion. It took a toll on him singing this song. Waltet Earl Brown wrote this song.

When you listen to Elvis sing gospel, it is so emotional and uplifting. You can hear it coming from him soul.
