[@deannaeakle8680]

It’s appropriate that you say he sounded operatic because this song is based on the Opera song O Sole Mio. It’s the same tune but Elvis jazzed it up and changed the lyrics. That’s why Luciano Pavarotti admired Elvis.

[@HGWTPaladin]

That’s why Pavarotti said Elvis can sing like me but I can’t sing like Elvis.

Elvis was the King of Rock and Roll. He made Country albums and Gospel albums and they were all amazing. When I was a kid, my dad would put on an Elvis Gospel album full volume to wake us up for church on Sunday morning. The man was one of a kind and could do it all.

He could have been an opera singer.Unfortunately,Col. Tom Parker had other ideas.He could have been another James Dean if given the chance.That recording was from 1960,the year he was discharged from the Army.I had the recording years ago.The melody is actually "O Sole Mio",an old Italian song.

[@randytorres8211]

This Elvis classic borrows the chord progression as well as the melody from the Italian song "O Sole Mio," which was first recorded by Giuseppe Anselmi in 1907. Mario Lanza popularized the song, and Tony Martin released the first English translation as "There's No Tomorrow" in 1949. In this song, Elvis is making a passion play, telling his darling it must be tonight, for tomorrow will be too late. There's nothing explicit in the song, but it's obvious what he's after. Delivered by average Joe, the romance-novel-grade lyrics would sound silly, but Elvis could pull off lines like: Your lips excite me Let your arms invite me For who knows when We'll meet again this way

[@merlball8520]

I wish more comments in reply to their videos were like yours. Great comment. 👍🏻

[@user-ii4zf5iq3t]

When he was in Germany didn't he expand his interests into the Italian music?

[@Copperwise]

Mario Lanza did a movie "The Student Prince" which I'd love to see you react to. Elvis is the King for a reason.

[@BGNOLA]

When I worked in the French Quarter, a little old Italian lady pointed at the speaker when this was played and said "Italiano"!

[@johnplaysgames3120]

Another great song Elvis did that was adapted from an old Italian song was "Surrender," which came from a 1902 song called "Torna a Surriento" ("Come Back to Sorrento," an English version of which had already been recorded by Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin). Elvis wanted an updated, more uptempo version of "Torna a Surriento" to be his follow-up to the massive success of "It's Now Or Never," so he/his music publisher asked Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman to write it. Interestingly (and humorously, in hindsight), even though Pomus and Schuman shared writing credit for "Surrender," Pomus's biographer Alex Halberstadt said that Shuman wanted nothing to do with the song. He's reported to have said, "Why should I want to write for some redneck idiot who wants to sound like Mario Lanza?" and chose to sit it out, leaving Doc Pomus to write it himself. Even then, Pomus treated it as a throwaway song, sticking to a near homonym of the title and not really thinking much about it after he sent off the demo. According to Halberstadt, "the whole thing smacked of mediocrity." "Surrender" was recorded late in the evening, in the middle of a marathon session that also produced Elvis's gospel LP "His Hand in Mine." Halberstadt goes on to say that, Pomus - who'd seen "Surrender" as just another job - "could hardly believe that Stuart Hamblen's 'Known Only to Him,' a sublime performance that inflamed Elvis's voice with what sounded like true religious epiphany, was recorded on the same night that yielded 'Surrender's' Neapolitan glitz." After treating the song like a throwaway, Pomus was apparently humbled by the result and had to admit that Elvis was a songwriter's dream. As Halberstadt put it, "Presley imbued 'Surrender' with sly humor and an almost maniacal ardor, transforming it into a dramatic showcase for his genuinely amazing chops.... He could make a mediocre song distinctive, make a good one great, and make a great one indelible. When he wanted to, he sang anything-from spirituals to novelty pop-brilliantly, finding just the right emotional shading." And, of course, validating this feeling is that "Surrender" went on to become yet another huge hit for Elvis, his fifth straight #1 single and his 12th #1 single at that point. Despite their initial feelings about the song and their underestimation of Elvis, "Surrender" boosted both the reputations and bank accounts of Pomus and Shuman, cemented them as "favorite writers" for Elvis, and put them in a position to be earning close to $50k/year which would have been unimaginable for them just a year earlier.

Elvis's mother passed shortly after he went into the army...made a huge impact on the rest of his life...

[@buckbuchanan4902]

His love for his mother was very powerful. "Mama Loved the Roses" a song he sang for her after her passing, is a song that has always made me weap like a baby. His voice carries so much raw emotion that you can just feel the pain and love!

[@BuzzingRocks]

This was Elvis Presley number one hit coming out of the US army. Brilliant song. American singer and actor Elvis Presley served in the United States Army from 1958 to 1960. At the time of his enlistment, he was widely regarded as the most well-known name in the world of entertainment. In 1960, "It's Now or Never" was a number-one record in the U.S. for Elvis Presley, spending five weeks at number one and the UK, where it spent eight weeks at the top in 1960 and an additional week at number one in 2005 as a re-issue, and numerous other countries, selling in excess of 20 million physical copies worldwide, Elvis Presley's biggest international single ever. Its British release was delayed for some time because of rights issues, allowing the song to build up massive advance orders and to enter the UK Singles Chart at number one, a very rare occurrence at the time. "It's Now or Never" peaked at number seven on the R&B charts.

[@davidharrison1523]

The filming in this video was done on Elvis’ return to America, after being drafted into the army for two years in 1958 ….at the height of his global superstardom. This song was his best selling single, & eventually sold a staggering 25 million records worldwide. It’s still probably one of the most popular Elvis songs. It came from an Italian opera song O Sole Mio, & Elvis got a couple of songwriters to write words that Americans could relate to, in a love story. He was told that because of the high note at the end, he would not be able to sing it in the same way as the original Italian song, but Elvis spent many months training his voice to hit that high note. Elvis actually had a baritone voice, but he could drop down into the upper range of Bass, & easily go up into the Tenor range too, so his vocals covered considerably more than most singers, & he did manage to hit that high note at the end, & even popped in an even higher note towards the end of the high note, taking him into the vocal range of an opera singer.

[@laverdadescatolica5]

Wow. Thank you for writing this, sir. I remember seeing a documentary where they mentioned that this song “Now Or Never” was the EPILOGUE of the 1950s. Given that it came out in 1959/1960, it was a PERFECT description. Also, the song is titled “It’s Now or Never,” as in, “IF it’s going to happen it needs to happen NOW” … because the song came out 1959/1960 for whatever to happen to exist in 1950s 😀

[@kevincaulder20]

My mother was one of the many teenagers who fell in love with Elvis during his breakthrough in the 195o's. As a young black girl, she and her sisters sat around the radio to listen to him sing everytime one of his songs played. They wouldn't speak, just listen. Afterwards, they would talk about how purty he was and how they wanted marry him. Even my Grandmother understood the sway of his magnificent voice. She told me stories about how this was one of my mothers favorite songs. That he made the enormous impression that he did during those early years of rock-n-roll to some many people of all colors, to follow in his footsteps led to social, cultural, and musical changes that literally shook and shaped the world. I remember how the news of his death on August 16, 1977 also shook the world. And despite the fact he unable to handle his personal problems, those us that were alive when he lived have fond memories of him. My mother loved his gospel records best. She played them every Sunday in her declining years. His voice gave her comfort. And she is with him in Heaven now. Which gives me comfort. May they both rest in peace. A couple of suggestions, PEACE IN THE VALLEY, ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT? ANYPLACE IS PARADISE, WEAR MY RING AROUND YOUR NECK, & LOVE ME TENDER. Enjoy.

Beautiful story and well said! I love how your mom referred to him as "purty". Perfect word!

[@leahsunbury9639]

When I was four years old, Elvis was all over the TV. My mom and grandma, who always played his music were crying. I wanted to make them feel better so I told them not to worry, I was going to grow up and marry Elvis so we could always hear his voice. That just made them cry more. It was 1977. They were watching coverage of his funeral. I didn't know what that was. My whole life, I have listened to his amazing voice, and watched his movies and concerts. There was no one else like him and there never will be again.

[@angelagoodwin5758]

Elvis in the house! Please do more: "Suspicious Minds" (Live 1970 Las Vegas show); Watch the opening scene of the movie "King Creole". He sings a song called Crawfish. Don't let the name fool you. It's a great song. Also, anything from his '68 Comeback tv show will not disappoint!

[@OverandOutChief1]

Elvis was really evolving and proving he was an artist. He was having trouble getting the ending of the song in one take. He was offered an easy out by combining previous takes of the song. Elvis was said to have responded with something like, "if I can't sing it then we won't do it at all." I love the truth in his singing. No doubt he nailed it!

"The young Elvis Presley, without any doubt." - Kiri Te Kanawa, opera star's answer when asked who had the greatest voice she had ever heard Like Pavarotti, Presley had the power to reduce most people to tears. - Greg Lake Elvis was all at once a tenor, a baritone and a bass, the most unusual voice I've ever heard. - Greg Sandow Presley was very classically orientated with his voice, and diction, and very sincere and wanting to get everything perfect. - Bryn Terfel When I think about my family, I listen to André Rieu, a violinist and conductor who is very popular in Europe, but when I think about living like it’s my last day on earth, I listen to Elvis Presley - Gabriele Rausse "When I first heard "It's Now or Never I thought that was the greatest rock 'n' roll record I ever heard. It just blew my mind that it was actually an Italian aria. It was like, 'There you go. There is a connection with all of this music.' It all started from there." - Raul Malo The voice is so melodious, and - of course, by accident, this glorious voice and musical sensibility was combined with this beautiful, sexual man and this very unconscious - or unselfconscious stage movements. Presley's registration, the breadth of his tone, listening to some of his records, you'd think you were listening to an opera singer. But…it's an opera singer with a deep connection to the blues, which leads me to the role of the great enunciator, because he delivered us the greatest cultural boon. Nobody ever did more for the American people. He gave them the great present of black music transmitted through his own sensibility, his own sensitivity. Of course Elvis was a different kind of white purveyor of black music because it was naturally black and it was real and he was a conduit. And America was really changed. I'm talking about American music and our culture in general. We owe far more to Elvis Presley than all the British groups put together." - Jerry Wexler www.theelvisforum-phoenix.com/viewtopic.php?t=2100

Suspicious Minds, a must see. It's an in concert performance, and showcases the best of 70's Elvis.

[@garryleblanc4002]

My 2 favourite Elvis songs areLawdy Miss Clawdy and Trouble from the Elvis film King Creole, which btw is a great film with a fantastic cast and Elvis shines as a true actor in the film. Peace and love to all, from your friendly neighbor from the north. 🙏❤️😎🇨🇦✌️

[@theodoreritola7641]

Elvis was at his best in the early 1970s And Remember Elvis didnt need AOUTO TONE

[@lindawilliams2211]

Hi Jay and Amber. Love your site. You are adorable. I grew up in Memphis 3 Miles from Graceland. I moved there in '68. ELVIS loved Gospel the most. He also hung on Beale Street with BB King and the great blues guys . Watch the Elvis movie , it is great. I think Austin Butler should win the Academy Award for his portrayal. I knew most of it, but I learned alot. Your daughter will love him, he is so cute and still alive. ❤ Peace

[@karenrussell3326]

No matter how old I get, the chills start when I listen to Elvis. I just love him.

[@marvingoodman7381]

THE MAN COULD SING!!! He could sing anything and do it well.. That's why he was called the "King." Keep on keepin' on.. BCNU....

[@dsusan17]

If you have already done Suspicious Minds I have a suggestion. You MUST WATCH THE LIVE VERSION! It is fabulous. It is Elvis at his peak as a performer!

[@jessiecampbell1086]

There are so many wonderful Elvis songs to choose from. "Surrender" "Suspicious Minds" "American Trilogy" & "Marie's The Name" to name just a few! ❤🎶🎼🎙🇺🇲🇬🇧

[@stephenwheeler6747]

Elvis was the best. And when he passed away, An unknown wrote a song that was an instant hit. It is called The King is Gone. Written and sung by Ronnie McDowell. Please give a listen to it. It was played constantly for 24 hours after it was first played on the radio. And people kept calling to hear it again and again.

[@JamesSmith-ti5jc]

He actually served our country, after, he hit it big, and, came back, as only he could 😎👍👍👍😎

[@Cynthia...]

Did you know that Elvis had to be filmed from the waist up on one of the Ed Sullivan shows because he was called Elvis the pelvis and back in those days they didn’t want to see that kind of movement on the TV. 😂

[@elizabethfranco1284]

Written by Wally Gold and Aaron Schroeder to the old Italian tune O Sole Mio

[@childcrone]

This is the crooning Elvis. So lovely and expressive.

[@gerardoreyes602]

Listen to "Falling in love with you " that one was a fav of my moms. Smooth just like this one. It's awesome that your daughter is into Elvis. May she keep on this journey.

[@patst1944]

“Are you Lonesome Tonight” audio is tender like this song

[@ali01m]

I love this song. Elvis - Trying To Get To You (‘68 Comeback Special) is another favorite.

[@cherylh.1910]

He is the “King” for a reason. I’m going to send you a present, hope it make your wall and that your daughter like it.

[@margarethansford9303]

You really need to listen to his song my way you will love it his voice the music it's awesome

[@dawns.427]

This one is so great, really shows off his powerful, beautiful voice. ❤️ my Daddy was a huge Elvis fan so we listened together. I'd LOVE for you guys to react to Trying To Get to you from the '68 Comeback Special. You can't miss the video for that, he's dressed all in black leather and looked amazing. 😍 That song and performance may be my favorite, it's very bluesy and soulful! I absolutely love it!

[@sharonh951]

YES ! I've mentioned that one several times, as have many others. I have watched others react to it and it always gets great reviews. I had been in love with Elvis since I was a little girl. I turned15 just a few months before that special aired, and I remember thinking how handsome and sexy he looked in that leather suit. Oh my, I knew then I wasn't that little girl any more ! 🤭😍 😊

[@texasgirl6000]

I totally agree I hope they do react to this song, I'll definitely be waiting for it.

[@wadsworthaaron]

Elvis covered so much ground musically (rock-a-billy, crooning, country, gospel)... his songs like "Trouble," "Don't Be Cruel," "All Shook Up," and "Hard Headed Woman" have always been my favorites from the Elvis catalog.

[@jeffkaplan8920]

Elvis. "Forever Young"....will make u cry

[@raiders345]

I'd love to see you react to "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" Elvis the crooner, for sure!

[@theodorabruin4601]

My favorite Elvis song...thanks for playing it!🥰🤩

[@PaHeadhunter]

If you really want to hear Elvis’ voice try ‘An American Trilogy.’ Another great one to try would be ‘Lawdy Miss Clawdy’ from the Comeback Special.

[@MrJz97ss]

What can you say about Elvis . Dude could sing rock, ballads, country, jazz, gospel , dude was just a once in a lifetime talent. Definitely know why they called him the King.

[@findingmyrootswoolmarketms]

Love me some Elvis! I find it so precious that your daughter also love him so much. Elvis' mother, Gladys Love Smith, and my great grandmother, Ella Leona Dodson, were cousins. Many of my family members inherited that same beautiful musical talent, both vocally and instrumentally. My maiden name is Smith, but it does not come from Gladys' line of Smiths. Also, my most recent pet is named Elvis. When I post things about him I always use the hashtag #CousinElvis.

[@herminiahernandez1512]

He was a gorgeous man. I was 4 or 5 when he died but later on when heard his songs, saw some of the movies he was in, totally fell for him. It's a pity he died so young.

[@kenhoyer8601]

Was 4 or 5 when I saw him on Ed Sullivan
