First Time Hearing "Elvis Presley"

[@jamiestrand2639]

Elvis was born dirt poor and never forgot where he came from. Based on stories from family and friends, he was the most generous person they knew. "In the Ghetto" is my favorite song by him, and it's still timeless. You can just feel the emotions in that one.

@@carlamarlene2927 here is an interesting fact. After Elvis sang that song. It is believed he went back stage and cried. When he finished crying, he emerged and in his own words said he would never sing another song or act in another movie he did not believe in. Guess what? He never sang that song again which meant it meant nothing to him. 🖕

Hey guys, Glad to see that you are discovering E.P. for the first time. He was born in Tupelo, Mississippi at one point he lived in a housing project where only 4 white families lived with the rest being black. He played with the blacks as a child. The called him E.P., dispelling the myth that he was racist. He was once scheduled to do a concert in Texas and they told him that he could leave the black girls at home( meaning The Sweet Inspirations - his back singers) Elvis refused and said that they would be there or he would cancel the concert. Needless to say they went (he fed off of their soul-filled voices) At that outdoor arena in Texas before the show that night, He drove through in a convertible with them sitting on the back to show them some love and stick it to the jerk who told him to leave them at home! As for beautiful goes, his rendition of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" will bring tears to your eyes.

That was Elvis' last No 1 hit - it was released in 1969.

You have to keep replaying that one note --- just to take it -- it's baffling - that a human could do that note and so powerful.

His loss went global and I can guarantee about 90% of the people remember the exact day, the exact time they found out. It's like a CD burning this into our memory. The people on this planet screamed in pain and cried when he died. The best way to describe his lost on a global scale, if anybody lived on moon they would heard the screams and pain from billions and billions of ppl on Earth. I have never seen any person on this Earth, that can affect an entire planet. Elvis was that person. The people that lived during his time loved and respect him. He was adored!! His loss changed the world. To this day I don't think people ever got over it. He was hard to forget. I was blessed to be born during the time of Elvis Presley. He was a kind and humbled man.

Elvis was a fantastic singer, who didn't need any gimmicks like Kiss or Alice Cooper to sell records! That whole sequined jump suit,karate moves and giant bent buckle crap was corny, gaudy and ridiculous!! Many don't realize his manager was a thief and took half of everything Elvis earned, he also was an illegal alien so Elvis never toured Europe or anywhere over seas, not once in a 20 year career. The colonel (his manager) was a degenerate gambler and owed Las Vegas casinos millions so the colonel kept Elvis tied to endless gigs in Vegas playing to a bunch of middle aged, middle American women with blue hair. Elvis would have been right up there at the top with all the big performers of the day had he been allowed to tour Overseas and form a modern day type band. Instead he was stuck making those same mediocre movies and playing those same crappy songs!!! Elvis did at one time fire that leech the colonel,formed a new band and was about to tour overseas for the first time.Elvis reconciled with that thief the Colonel and immediately cut Elvis off from all those new deals which would have elevated him back to the top playing rock and roll again. Instead the colonel kept Elvis tied to the throne in order to control the $ ,keep getting his 50% and hide the fact that he was an illegal alien. Elvis relinquished all control of his career to the colonel and it basically killed him !! The colonel had to keep Elvis working and robbing him blind to cover his huge gambling losses!! A real shame cause Elvis could sing country,blues, rockabilly, gospel and many other styles with incredible force and skill. His gospel records are heaven sent!!

Elvis came from a very poor background, and as a result, he was always kind to people, especially of lower classes. He made himself available to fans, and he was generous to a fault. He was known for gifting personal items to people and fans that complimented him on them, like jewelry, etc, even giving away vehicles to common folk. Elvis was the first entertainment superstar, especially when it came over to crossover talent. And he even went away to Korea drafted to fight for the country at the peak of his fame. Elvis was “sexual” because of his hip-thrusting while dancing, he sometimes was recorded for live TV only waist up. This performance is late in his career, and if you really want to see why he was “sexual”, do something from when he was younger, or the 1968 comeback special.

However, I haven’t quite figured out the fire extinguisher yet! 🤣

My Mom sang in a gospel group back in 1940. They had big tent revivals, and she saw Elvis sing when he was only 5 years old. They all remarked that he could sing and would be a star.

[@sarzik2896]

Wow, what a unique experience your mom had! It must have been interesting for your mom to follow Elvis' career from the very beginning. Did she have any other stories of him?

[@earlofmar7987]

@@sarzik2896 Later my family and I moved out to Las Vegas in the late 50's. We saw Elvis film 'Viva Las Vegas', on a sound stage out in front of the Sahara Hotel. We used to see him around town a lot. Once he walked up to my girlfriend while we were in the Aladdin Hotel. We were out having dinner with her mom, and we were only 14 years old at the time. My friend Barbara, was just his type. My friend's mom was all a flutter. We just laughed. Thought it was silly.

[@CindyD573]

I just love you you guys! Keep doing this! “Kentucky Rain” and “The Ghetto” are good ones from him too. ALL of his songs are absolutely amazing if I must be honest. I had the pleasure of seeing Elvis in concert when I was in 1st grade, the year before he died. I still have my ticket stub thanks to my mom for putting it up for me all these years. It’s amazing the impact he had on my life at such a young age. I will never forget the day he died 😢

[@pisces228]

There is a live version of this song that you need to watch straight through to get a better feel for how special he was. I remember watching his movies when I was a little girl and adiring him. He was so handsome and had such charisma. And, yes, MJ was briefly married to Elvis' daughter Lisa Marie.

And over the 46 years since his passing, I've fallen more and more in love with his voice. He got better with age, and even his final recorded performance, just a few weeks before he died, was one of the most compelling and beautiful I've ever seen or heard. Thanks for posting your reaction video!

Love you young men's reaction to 'my music' Elvis and The Bee Gees to name JUST 2 of the WONDERFUL examples of GREAT MUSIC.

[@catwhisperer9489]

You just can't go wrong, with Elvis. Some of his best, are: "In the Ghetto" (live), "If I can Dream" ('68 Comeback Specisl), "American Trilogy" ("Aloha from Hawaii") and "Just Pretend" (live). Here's an real early one of him, dancing - "Jailhouse Rock".... kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZuTg61jqrVng80 Fun facts: Elvis was a natural blonde!! Whitney Houston's mother, Cissy Houston, sang backup for Elvis ('68 - '69). You know how Michael Jackson stood on his shoed toes? Michael liked to tell the story of how he got that move, from Elvis---there's a vid, on YT, of Elvis doin' it!! Somebody else who danced really well---and was good friends, with Elvis: Tom Jones!! Here's a vid of him, dancing---he's gonna make your heads, explode.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZyuhYClh9hgirc Great reaction, guys!!

Just got back from a trip to Nashville and then Memphis. Dad is a huge Elvis fan so I grew up on a lot of his music and still listen to him a bunch. We went to Graceland which was an amazing tour of his estate in Memphis and they made a bunch of museums on the other side of the street. His story is really amazing but is also tragic as well. You guys should peep the new movie too. Elvis is a legend.

Elvis was awesome, I was only 2 when he passed. And, my mom made damn sure I heard Elvis. Can't go wrong with any of his music at all really. And, nobody, I mean nobody can bring a tear to your eye with a Gospel song like Elvis can.

[@MeghanMarsh-d6y]

They call him the "king" for a reason. This is one of my personal favorites, but there are so many to choose from. You should also check out some of his gospel. I was only 5 when he died, but I still remember when the news with perfect clarity. My mother cried for days. I don't remember one day of my young life that I did not hear Elvis on the record player. He was (is) a national treasure.

[@filmmakr40]

Suspicious Minds is a great Elvis song,but he recorded that in 1969, late in his career. If you want to hear the true Elvis, you gotta listen to his musical output from 1956-1958: Heartbreak Hotel, Don't Be Curel, Teddy Bear, Hound Dog, Jailhouse Rock, All Shook Up, to name a few. THAT's essential Elvis. Enjoy! You guys know how to appreciate music!

Elvis was a martial arts expert too and incorporated some moves into his shows. He became close friends with Tom Jones who is a panelist on UKs The Voice. It would be great to see your reaction to I'm Never Gonna Fall In Love by Tom. He also sang duets with other artists you may enjoy. Thanks for your wonderful videos, you're all a credit to the younger generation xx

[@katrinahartley3376]

Y'all need to research Elvis there's so much to this man that it would blow your minds. I was a little girl in the sixties and my dad adored him. He would play his records and record himself singing because my dad had a fantastic voice as well. I got to see him December of 1976 in concert in Denver Colorado just months before he passed. There is a song by him called "and the grass won't pay no mind." I believe it's under country but as Elvis always said rock and roll, country, rhythm and blues all started through gospel music. The promised land is another one of his songs that's absolutely fantastic and I think you would enjoy that. He loved to entertain when he was damn good at it. He was a good actor he was a good stage performer he had some rhythm and that body and had charisma that just flowed out of him. Thanks for sharing your reaction you guys are fantastic.

Elvis was also in the movies and he would sing in movies as well. He was actually blonde but he dyed his hair black because of a singer that he really looked up to had dark hair, I forget his name at the moment. Check out some videos of him singing in his younger days. He was a beautiful looking man and his voice was amazing, very very unique that’s why so many people still love him today. The video Shown of him this time around is when he is older, has put on some weight and when he was really bad he would forget the words to songs on stage. Due to the drugs he took at the end and could not stop taking. When he was young and first started singing and moving his hips around it was unheard of and they called him Elvis the pelvis. RIP

Elvis was a huge gospel singer, if you want to really experience the sound of Elvis you have to listen to some of his gospel as it is so powerful. He truly was the King! In his early days, women would faint after watching him gyrate on stage. He died when I was just a little girl, but his charisma follows me to this day and I listen to him all the time still!

[@LadyDoe17]

You mentioned the background singers, one of which was the lovely Cissy Huston, mother of Whitney Huston. True story!. It’s just over 45 years since Elvis died.
