THIS WAS AMAZING! Elvis Presley - Don't | REACTION

[@racingfootball]

I LOVE THIS SONG... Elvis is the best ever

[@merrywave221]

The word "don't" in this song is an example of great lyric writing.

[@jennyoconnell7217]

I've been waiting for this - one of my all time favourites. Made no. 1 in 1958 and, according to Wikipedia, Billboard ranked it no. 3 of all songs that year.

[@SheenaRea]

In an interview, Elvis said this was his favorite song to sing ... Maybe his opinion eventually changed (?), but knowing he loved this, *GOSH* 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Wow!!!

[@chrism.c9965]

Nothing more beautiful than Elvis's voice here, I love the song and the lyrics. 👍✌

[@julialesleysheppard]

Do look at the video of Elvis rehearsing this beauty. His face is a picture and adds to the drama👌💕🕺

[@CornbreadOracle]

Elvis was such a strong, confident singer that he was able to hold his own against the sublime background vocals of the Jordanaires without ever feeling or *being* outshone.

[@TheBohemianAngels]

You have been so right on your analysis of Elvis's voice and music. It is beautiful and so damn good.

[@shirleycarr5387]

Always loved this song, ❤️

[@AnnemarieSwarts]

Definitely a #1 hit (1958). Notably, the same guys that've written some great songs for the Jailhouse Rock and King Creole movies, have written this.

[@rosariobuenafe9865]

I love this song Dont❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯

[@SheenaRea]

This was Elvis's 11th #1 song, recorded in 1958, written by Lieber & Stoller.

[@kerrypapworth1526]

This gorgeous song so beautifully showcases Elvis’s divine voice.

[@robbansa]

A PERFECT MASTERPIECE!!! Very funny as Elvis answered you in the beginning. This song will grow on you. I really appreciate the Elvis pictures in the background. Your channel always develops and keeps getting better. Nobody does it better.

[@SephPlays]

Was a super funny coincidence 🤣🤣🤣

[@terrymeddings5563]

Was waiting for this,my all time favourite song.triple banger .one of the reason Elvis is so good is he produced and arranged all his songs.when you get to the end of your Elvis journey it's going to be hard to pick your favourite songs.i change all the time. Stat time.18 number one's, 40 top tens, 114 top 40,149 top 100s.thats why he's the king.

[@charlesfrancis6925]

This song was a # 1 hit in 1956.

[@erlindamartinez8521]

Love love this song. 💕💕💕💕

[@betsyjonex9364]

My favorite, he was singing right to me in that honey tinged voice. When I was 17 years old I nearly wore this record out. This was #1 in 1956, at that time he admitted he like it himself. Like this senual style please listen to "Soldier Boy", "Is it So Strange", and "I Want You, I Need you, I Love You". Are like Catnip to women. Love your Chipmunk voice. Thanks.

[@WoodsWoman822]

I Love the Song and the Lyrics 😁 "Don't" was released in 1958. Written and produced by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, it was Elvis Presley's eleventh number-one hit.

[@paulasmith3179]

Loved this song. thank you

[@nadjaGer]

wait till you hear this song at rehearsals in the 70 s😊i love it

[@michaellawliss3049]

Yes it is amazing my brother

[@Samua3]

You feel it at the exact same place in the verses that make me hold my tummy because the emotional sound of that chord change with those harmonies, makes it physically hurt! It's so beautiful! ❤

[@timcarr6401]

This is one of his best ballads of the 1950s. His voice was superb --full of power and yet tenderness too. It's theme was like Pat Boone's "Don't Forbid Me." That was one of Pat's best. Elvis did some of it during the taping of The Million Dollar Quartet.

[@Grithron2]

But Pat's song had a get-out clause - all that baby-it's-cold-outside stuff - this one is as "serious" as a Lieber/Stoller effort can get.

[@s.dejonge5719]

Thank you very much.. this lifsts me up

[@patticriss2238]

If I had to pick a favorite, which I probably never could, it would be this one. Gordon Stoker said this was Elvis’ masterpiece in his mind. It’s beautiful. Scotty Moore liked it best too.

[@roustabout583]

I like the lyrics Seth they fit the song ! Wouldn’t have it any other way!

[@jimmykarlsson2567]

Recorded in late 1957. Top 3 billboard in 1958. AWSOME song

[@MarkRogersVOCFB]

One of EP's greatest ballads.

[@moekontze116]

Poor you Seph, too many great songs and can be overwhelming going through them.

[@SephPlays]

😍This guys soooo good

[@joanmatthews2570]

Gorgeous song. Love reacting to your Elvis journey!!

[@SephPlays]

I love that you are hear on the Journey :DDDD

[@robbansa]

Don't Chart (1958)Peak position. UK Singles Chart #2. US Billboard Hot 100 #1. US Billboard Hot Country Singles #2. US Billboard Hot R&B Singles #4.

[@JamesJohnson-ig6of]

SEPH, This was a very popular song, with nearly constant play, especially on most jukeboxes thru out the U.S.A. A Jukebox is a machine that spins 45 records for money. Some of these have powerful speaker systems, that will fill a dancehall with sound. "Don't" is one of my favorite songs..and it's masterfully sung.

[@maggieshome]

Beautiful double banger llol

[@donnaselfon2969]

His wife loved it..I heard her say so in an interview ✌️

[@TheKopyKatz]

Beautiful track

[@SephPlays]

Couldn't agree more :D

[@sammy_the_uncool2702]

This is pure gold to me. I fell in love with this one first time I heard it. It's so divine, pure Heaven to the ears, in my opinion. Since I'm late and your question has already been answered, I'm gonna skip over that part 😉😊 Minor spoiler: Elvis sings this again. Though not live on stage. Nope. He was filmed during a 1970 rehearsal and he was just cutting up with his band and just started singing this one off the cuff. No Jordanaires, but I'll refrain until I hear what you think when you get there. Truly wonderful reaction, Seph. I could practically see your brain erupting in goosebumps 😂 Bravo 💥💥👏👏👌💖

[@SephPlays]

When did you first hear this song Sammy the Cool?

[@sammy_the_uncool2702]

@@SephPlays I think it was a few months back? I think it was when I just took some time to actually find a 1950's Elvis playlist here on YT and just hit play and let each song play. They didn't have any of the home recordings or any of the Million Dollar Quartet recordings. So a lot of those I just listened for the first time here on your channel actually 😊

[@SephPlays]

@@sammy_the_uncool2702 I'm guessing you skipped most of the early stuff and went right for the late 60s 70s?

[@sammy_the_uncool2702]

@@SephPlays Well I guess you could say I started out in 1970 then skipped backwards to 1968 then jumped forwards to 1973 then from there skipped backwards. You know when they call it THE Elvis Rabbit Hole, they're not kidding. Some songs I just stumbled on in no particular order. Slight spoiler: There is a song Elvis recorded in 1960 that fell in love with after listening to several different takes of the song in succession. It's interesting to hear the process of a song in the studio. Especially back then. But my Aunt had been fan. I wasn't. However, I guess I also erroneously believed that I'd already knew every 1950's Elvis song. Nope. I didn't. I only knew about 15- 20 which is just a drop in the bucket as it turns out 😁

[@kathifielder1110]

Well, you've covered most of Elvis' '58 and '59 songs. (Still anxiously waiting on the remainder of the '57s). The only '58 song left, according to my list, is "Hard Headed Woman". When you react to this one, just so you know, the official audio version cuts off the end of the song. Also, it's very fast so this version with lyrics is helpful: Elvis Presley ~ Hard Headed Woman (2:00). It's a black background with the lyrics written in white. And, again according to my list, the only '59 songs left are "We're Gonna Move" and "Milky White Way". Then it's on to the post Army years and the movie decade. I'm enjoying your journey SO much!!

[@kathifielder1110]

Wow...19 Elvis reactions in one day. And you stuck with it through all the bad audio. Kudos to you, Seph! You're a real champ! You mentioned autotune. It didn't exist back in Elvis' day. I saw a video with an expert analyzing his voice, and he said he couldn't be autotuned partially due to his very fast vibrato.

[@jjbud3124]

It was the range in his vibrato, in addition to the way he starts most notes a tiny bit off key and goes through notes both above and below key. He (forget his name) played a section where he put autotone into Elvis's voice and it took away some of the Elvis signature sound, which is the part of his voice that makes you feel the emotion of the song. There was so much variation in Elvis's voice and range that the autotune gets the wrong note sometimes. That was a very interesting video.
