THE KING!| FIRST TIME HEARING Elvis Presley- That's Alright REACTION

[@victoriagrove5344]

Elvis at his best on this TV comeback special. Wow!

[@primurph]

That comeback special is awesome.I think he was at his peak. “One night with you” and “Trying to get to you “ are both great in this same sit down part.

[@kenashburn5473]

100% you need to check out both of those songs from the comeback special.

[@gs8191]

Agree, please do every song from this special because this vintage Elvis with his original band when it was all about the music before Colonel Parker led him down a road of commercializing Elvis and taking the soul out of his music. Please no 70s fat Elvis in the white jump suit live performances. by this time he was drugged out and phoning his performance in and the masses still ate it up. 1956-58 were Elvis' golden years and the special brought all of that back.

[@johnangelopoulos2000]

You hit the nail on the head! Absolutely!

[@rong805]

Yes, we must help school these new generations of Elvis fans! Good choices.

[@Code9]

Yup. "Trying to Get to You" from the Comeback Special is a MUST. As a die-hard Elvis fan since his beginning, I always imagined (during this performance after having not performed live for 9 years!) he was reliving (in his mind's eye) many of the moments of playful fun and excitement as he and Scotty Moore (on guitar) and Bill Black (on upright bass) were "fooling around" in that little Sun Recording studio creating music that would take the world by storm. They were just youngsters with no idea they were making history. If you haven't seen the Baz Luhrmann biopic, "ELVIS", you're missing out.

[@RosieM1970]

The best ever!!

[@tamifaulkner4103]

I love the comeback special! The best Elvis you will see!

[@kenpullig1652]

Watching the Elvis live performances is the best way to enjoy the King. You can see in his face the true joy he got in performing for an audience.

[@clivenewman4810]

He wasn't called the King for nothing!🇬🇧

[@willdwyer6782]

Elvis wasn't King of anything but recording other people's music. He couldn't write a grocery list. No talent hack. He made it to fame on his looks and his ability to read and play sheet music with a criminal con artist for a manager driving him harder and harder until he dropped dead.

Everything from that TV special is so good! One of my favourites is “Lawdy Miss Clawdy”. You may have done some Elvis tunes in the past, but you haven’t even scratched the surface.

Another song from Elvis to listen too..... " Oh Danny Boy. " .Beyond beautiful !!!

[@maxinefreeman8858]

I was a young teen. I had my face up into the 20 inch tv. Couldn't play it loud because my daddy had to get up @ 0430 to go to work in the coal mines. I've loved Elvis as far back as I can remember.

Trying To Get To You, from this same 68 special is a must!

Elvis Unplugged! The OG of the format.

[@georgiahinske-west8072]

"Trying to get you" on 68' comeback special. Even though it was released in 1956, every girl with their sweetheart off to Vietnam was listening to that song. One of my mom's favorites of Elvis as my dad wrote her to say he was coming home on leave to marry her, she said this was the song that perfectly expressed it.

[@rbb9753]

You can read the full story about Kline, but basically Scotty Moore and Bill Black were country musicians. The three were fooling around in the Sun Records studio and started playing this, a blues by Arthur Crudup, when Sam Phillips ran in and shouted “That’s it!”

[@raymondking1793]

No one Can match Elvis, He could Sing anything from Country To Rock and Everything in-between 😊

Elvis was a reat gospel singer, too. My grandmother used to listen to his gospel albums all the time when I was still a kid a hundred years ago.

I love Little Sister! It was on a jukebox in a bar I used to go to back in college and played it all the time.

[@jayce711]

They have already reacted to both.

[@Deborahtunes]

My oldest sister who is a huge Elvis Presley fan use to sing parts of "Little Sister" to me when I was very young. Back when we shared a bedroom together. But only the words that go: "Little sister don't you do what your big sister does"...

[@jayce711]

This was Elvis' very first song released in 1954. It set the world in motion! This whole Special is fire! Check out Trying To Get To You from the special. And yes you need to go back and check out America Trilogy live from Aloha From Hawaii concert tv special. It's a great show too. Steamroller Blues is another fantastic sing from the Aloha Special.

[@garytom1935]

Awesome jam The King yes 👌😎👍🎸🎤🥁

[@coffee-xg6my]

The unmistakable sound of Scotty Moore's guitar picking!

[@mariebishop7357]

When I was younger, I really didn't get why my mom loved Elvis so much. Now that I'm older, I totally understand. He was one talented guy!❤

[@ElvisRose_]

Same for me. I knew he was her favorite but then I watched the miniseries from the early 2000s with her which featured his songs. The next day I borrowed her greatest hits and fell in love with him all on my own!

[@LiberalsArePoop]

Same here. My dad was a big fan and the appeal was lost on me.

[@belindalopes6774]

Me too. I have added all her Elvis vinyl records to my collection of vinyl. She did look for them as she thought they had been stolen.

[@sarahpomegranate5131]

Please watch ‘Lordy, lordy, Miss Claudie’ from the same show. He is FANTASTIC! A true gift to the world.

[@gregrowe1168]

My mom loves him too. He was such a great entertainer, one of the greatest of all time. But he is truly a good singer. I like a lot of his music as well.

[@WTCWorldview]

Elvis proves here he doesn't need to dance to bring down the house. Just sitting on a stool his charisma and voice are all he ever needed. Heck even the lyrics weren't important as he can just deedle e dee his way through the song. It's all about the groove. This song reminds me of some of Johnny Cash's older music. Give a listen to the song "Jackson" in which Johnny duets with his wife June. It has the same kind of groove as this song. Regarding Elvis requests, I'd love to see your review of the Elvis song "A Little Less Conversation."

[@PatrickExcelsior]

I absolutely love the 68 Comeback Special. The entire show is amazing.

[@darylburt403]

Yes. I watched this special TV appearance. FYI: This was the first song he ever recorded. Hence the reference "The first time we did it we only had a drum and 2 guitar".

[@clarkhamlin2667]

Please continue to play songs from the comeback special. They are the essence of Elvis.

[@PinkAndGoldGlitter88]

Saw him in concert in WPB, Fla.. He is truly the King..

[@tc3501]

Elvis Comeback Special 1968 with him on this little stage with audience sitting right with him is basically the 1st Unplugged that would come in the 1990's with MTV Unplugged

[@eaglesfan0726]

This is from '68 comeback special I have this on VHS that my dad taped. I have fond memories watching it on tv with dad on Elvis' birthday when I was a kid.

[@kylieadkins3108]

In my opinion, Elvis was the best looking man who ever lived!!! Can you tell how much I love him?? I have a chest full of Elvis memorabilia. I need to get in there & send you guys some stuff. The last time Elvis had come to Charlotte, N.C. for a concert, I have a picture of him getting off the plane. I paid $500 for that picture the day he died. Sorry guys, I tend to talk when it comes to Elvis! I'll shut up now. 😂❤

[@gregrowe1168]

My mom is just like you. It’s easy to buy gifts for her, just get her anything that has Elvis on it 😊.

[@NoName-cz3wn]

Notice to all: if you ever buy the DVD set of this, make sure you get the one that features the UNEDITED acoustic sets, in the order he played them. Its so crazy. He begins the show forgetting lyrics, playing sloppy, maybe a little bit "influenced", but as he finds his true love again-- his music-- its like movie Elvis disappears and the freaking KING is being reborn right before your eyes. It gives me chills just typing about it.

[@kellygrant7660]

I grew up in the 70s I loved hearing Elvis Presley my favorite song of his was his American trilogy and his live Hawaiian concert I watched on a VHS tape many years ago.

[@luciemurphree1597]

[@fidge54]

This was Elvis' "Comeback Special" 1968.

[@sagittarian1955]

Funny story about this song: I got an Elvis album for Christmas, early 70's, don't remember the exact year, but, this song was on it. Since my mother was an Elvis fan, she let me play it on her stereo system. As we sat down to eat, my mother said "Oh!, I meant to make some coleslaw!" That was the exact moment this song kicked in with Elvis singing "Well, that's alright lil' mama!" We all had a good laugh and to this day, if something happens someone will say "That's alright, Mama!" One aspect of Elvis you still haven't touch is his gospel. He won Grammy's for those. One of my favorites: How Great Thou Art. I would love to hear other RSR family tell their favorites.

[@mikefetterman6782]

His first big hit.

[@sukie584]

The 68 Comeback Special is iconic and the inspiration for the MTV Unplugged series. Lawdy Miss Clawdy and Trying To Get To You, are two must hears from the 68 special!

[@micahhawkins-bs9gf]

That song was the moment R&B hatched R&R, & Elvis was the proud papa. Now I suppose they call it 'Rockabilly'. Whatever you call it, it is pure gold. Paul McCartney was a huge Elvis fan. I'm trying to remember where I read that this was the first Rock & Roll song he learned to play. I know he said he practiced singing it like Elvis. Pulled it off, too. There's a YT video (just the music, actually)of him covering this song on an album called 'Good Rockin' Tonight'. It's awesome.Tom Petty's on the album as well, covering Elvis' version of 'Blue Moon Of Kentucky'. You ought to find that one & react to it. All hail the King.

[@nancy9891]

This 1968 Comeback Special was the highest watched program that year.He was reintroduced after his movie career to the world. A grown man and made many top 10 hits in this era up until his death. Long live the memories of Elvis. You need to see the Elvis movie

The king of what? The king of exploited and overworked pop stars with crooked managers? Elvis was a victim of exploitation. Parker should have gone to prison for fraud long before Elvis died. He'd probably alive and kicking at 88 years old if he hadn't crossed paths with a con artist.

This whole sit-down segment in the round with his old original band from the '50s and 60s is pure gold. Everything. It's like a front porch jam and Elvis had just gotten out of his long-running movie contract with his asshole manager and this was his first return to being in front of people and it's just magic. Like on heartbreak hotel, he'll stop the song in the middle and it's all just so cool and fascinating and fun.

If I’m not mistaken, this is the first time Elvis performed with Scotty Moore (lead guitar) and DJ Fontana (drummer but playing the guitar case in this) for quite a few years (they appeared in some of his early films along with Bill Black who played the stand up bass but had sadly passed away before this tv programme and I’m also pretty sure that the recording sessions for this 1968 Christmas Special (better known as the ‘68 Comeback) were the last time he performed with them.

This was actually and Old Blues Song he recorded for his Mother Gladys to whom he was very close to. when Elvis got sent to Germany she was devastated. She still looked at Germany as a place of Cold Winters & Death Camps, and in an eerie co-incidence Anne Frank`s Mother Edith died on Elvis`s Tenth Birthday. He was told he could have one of two things, a Bicycle or a Guitar, he chose the Guitar and the rest is history.

Elvis reunited here with Scotty Moore who also played guitar on the original recording back in 1954 when a young, inexperienced Elvis walked into the studio and started singing his favorite R&B, blues, and country tunes. The recording of this song is the one that first caught the ears of the public in and around Memphis and set him on his way.

[@russallert]

Elvis' original drummer D.J. Fontana (who joined Elvis, Scotty and Bill in late '55, I believe) is also in this clip, drumming on either a chair or a guitar case, or something.
