Throw Back Thursday | Reacting To Elvis Presley - Polk Salad Annie

[@JIMMYDIANO]

Some people sing songs, Elvis lived them. The greatest ever.

[@genebeamon4898]

They called him to the Army at the peak of his fame and career. He served our country for 2 yrs. and made to Sergeant!!!!

[@brsydonjewell164]

No?😂

[@benjamins.5428]

Elvis was so many things together. So many combinations. Unlike any artist in history ,his amazing voice and charisma. No wonder he was voted the number one entertainment artist in the world in the 20th century and a singer who sold over a billion records worldwide, more than any singer or band in history.

[@garyvoorhees752]

You are so cute !! The Chick in the front row gave him a note 😃 I blessed to see Elvis about 14 times ! One time I was center stage with my two daughters and Elvis kissed my daughter !!

[@christopherone1]

how old are you? what man calls a woman 'a chick'. SMFH

[@Dorakaz1]

That's entertaining! Noone is like him! More Elvis please!

[@theman6204]

By the way Polk salad is a real delicacy in the south, also Elvis loved to play around with his audience and through his movement's on stage would command his band. When he put the Mic in his mouth he was just playing around with the feedback. You got to remember Elvis came out in 1956 at the age of 21 and almost every song he performed was a hit.

[@evelynmabe7877]

I'm as southern as the day is long, I've never heard of Polk Salad, but I have eaten swamp cabbage.

[@carolhayar3037]

@@evelynmabe7877the problem w-this is that many, many reactors do not understood just what Poke Sallet (correct spelling here) is & that it comes from the poisonous Pokeweed plant which can be eaten when picked in springtime; most people from the northern or eastern parts of the U.S. aren't familiar w-it & just won't get it

[@kathyharze4308]

Elvis was awesome he can do so much all at the same time what an entertainer the note was from a fan he liked to fool about as you could see and yes his band were amazing a 10 for me stay safe 😷✌

[@dennistankerman5393]

we love you king Elvis....frm. Philippines

[@susancrouthamel760]

You must see Suspicious Minds 1970. Best Entertainer of all time. He went in Army for 2 years. I could tell you ALOT of things about Elvis.i have listened to him since 1956 n saw him in 1973 Hawaii. I give all of his songs 100,000 % Elvis put ALOT of energy in this song so he was exhausted n could not get all the repeated words out.You Try It. Elvis also got 3 Emmy Awards for gospel songs. He received the president metal of Honor which is the highest award a civilian can receive. Many, many entertainers said if there was not Elvis they would never had made it. He sang over 700 songs n sold out all his concerts n sold over 1 billion records

[@Rcknroler913]

3 Grammy awards for Gospel.

[@davisonmadhouse]

Suspicious Minds live Vegas must see

[@RJsStudio131]

Nice reaction. You have many great songs to chose from that shows why he is the King and the GOAT

[@mikegreene8461]

He was reading the list of celebrities that were in the audience so he could introduce them

[@69JANKS]

Haha been watching this clip lately, then came across this vid lol. Yes, he was one cool dude for the day, legend😎👍🏼

[@suspiciousminds1750]

"he was one cool dude for the day"? Elvis was cool for any day/ year.

[@RLGMedia]

Elvis was in the Army from March 1958 til March 1960. He met Priscilla in Germany.

[@lindaeasley5606]

The note he was reading was from a woman in the audience he had met while working the crowd before his performance started. The women were captivated by him

[@Vllencia]

No I am pretty sure it was not from a female in the crowd. Unless you were part of his teams and that is what he had told you. But it seems instead it was just a note he took out from his belt to remind him of the next lines (maybe he expected he might forget those lines in particular, and so he brought a reminder).

[@garytom1935]

Awesome cool song, pure entertainment he was, good jam 🤘😎🤘🎤🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@JivinJoe0984]

Yes he was in the army and he was a conservative too

[@joanne26]

Hello from England The day Elvis died was 2 days before my 12th birthday being a FAN for 44 years OMG ELVIS was and still is MY HERO. Strong word but its true. I cannot say anyone before, during or since i would put such a strong word to. The music and entertainment world of the last 35 + years LEAVES ME COLD. I love every song he sang. They are ALL my FAVOURITES and there are many songs. But this one is towards the top. We are so blessed that now we can look at media like KZbin and people like you who post "stuff" I "found" SPA GUY" channel on the candlelight vigil on the 15th August and since i have been trying to catch up with his videos. I have learnt a lot. Something you may not know Colonel Tom Parker was born in Holland 26th June Vernon Presley died 26th June Elvis did his last concert 26th June !!!!!!

[@crashcorrigan9733]

The one, and only.

[@dabdella1460]

Elvis is conducting the band

[@genebeamon4898]

Hi, I'm from Texas, I like your reactions. There's over 600 more songs of his. I'll be requesting a lot. Thanks!!!!

[@dinatolding2826]

Elvis is the best

[@pdark3930]

Woman would have gone crazy today to! He was just something else

[@jmanganella123]

I played this song in the first band I was in. In the beginning he was just messing around....hip 2 3 4...he said he learned it in the army... good to see young people discovering great legends....

[@shanefields8239]

Elvis Presley served in United States Army from 1958 to 1960..

[@stevedahlberg8680]

When he does that thing with the mic and his mouth to create a little feedback bloop oh, it was a joke he would play on his sound man every once in a while to keep him on his toes. It would hit the sound man with his headphones on with a pretty good short burst of feedback, laugh.

[@Verschlimmbesserung]

2:17 He said 'I learned that in the army,' and yes, he was also in the army. Served 1958 in Germany.

[@jackgurteeen37]

The more you get into Elvis you'll learn he was a comedian in his act at appropriate times regarding some songs. One of his biggest hits was a lovely touching love song ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT, once one time in the studio he was in a particularly mischievous mood and changed the lyrics to "Do you look at your bald head and wish you had hair... He really was Mr entertainer and gave 100% in the studio and on stage. RIP fella you are loved x

[@garyvoorhees752]

The one question you asked was he learned in the army , the note was from a chick in the audience !! Love your beautiful look !! It’s a ten !!!

[@phillipvaldez2610]

I would like to see a reaction video of What now my love,by Elvis from his 1973 Aloha from Hawaii concert

[@kilkennyrose7099]

He conducted his band with his movements. He told you it is a weed in the south much like a turnip green, the leaves are boiled, rinsed then cooked in bacon fat or lard, and sometimes onion and egg are added to it. You should never eat the Pokeweed raw it is poisonous and belongs to the nightshade family. Elvis did more on stage then just sing, he entertained.

[@moonytheloony6516]

This performance is part of a documentary film called “Elvis: That’s The Way It Is” (1970) It covers his rehearsals for his 1970 engagement at the International Hotel in Las Vegas. I highly recommend you stream it, it’s an amazing film to watch. The part where he’s reading from a piece of paper is because he kept forgetting a few lines for “Polk Salad Annie” which is explained earlier in the film during rehearsals.

[@fyibyg7364]

the note was the lyrics to the song. It was a newer song for him. so he kept notes for songs on him. He stated it in an interview one time.

[@JivinJoe0984]

Alot of the moves have karate influences in them

[@Melchizadeckk]

Polk Salad looks like Kale or Spinach especially if you cook it. Elvis 'felt' the music when he sang.

[@Unknown-bv7lv]

This is called Entertainment at its best

[@sandraoliveira99]

[@walterhale]

You notice Elvis' hand movements. You should know, Elvis did not sing along with the band, but the bandplayed along with him. Those little movements you see had their practical use as well.

[@grahammalcolm7130]

Yes elvis was drafted into the Army from 58 to 60 just after he finished King creol

[@jamesgarvin347]

lso cant stop loving you.

[@jamesgarvin347]

Elvis singing Love me tender ln concert is one to watch. Thank you.

[@joeraytony]

the note was from a fan a few songs before this and its got her name, phone no and room no

[@Axeman517]

I always thought it was the names of the celebrities in the audience that he’d introduce soon after.

[@joeraytony]

no charlie hodge would advise Elvis who was in the audience

[@grahammalcolm7130]

I think it was the last verse of the song

[@joeraytony]

the note makes its first appearance when was singing Sweet Caroline where he shows it to a fan & tucks it away into his pocket as if to say 'dont worry ive got your number here" thats my guess

[@carolhayar3037]

@@joeraytony except for the time when Elvis asked Charlie who was in the audience in the middle of his show while on stage

[@josephlinnell9855]

The man had whatever "it" is. Probably was reading the room number of a female fan.

[@leroyleach7581]

my recollection...he ACTUALLY FORGOT THE WORDS.!!!

[@oneafter9095]

With Elvis it was more of the ‘moves’ than dancing...nothing like the overdone exaggerated routine so call dance moves like the newer performers do...god, it’s like they are at a drill camp...you know sometimes less is more...Elvis was way too cool for those exaggerated dance moves.

[@dogwithwigwamz.7320]

I find what the lass says interesting. Ie Elvis hearing the beat and getting his timing absolutely `bang on.` There is a film ( made, I think in about 1984 ) conserning the life of Mozart - called Amadeus. In it Mozart will notice even the tiniest of `none timing.` In the early 1960`s, of course, Elvis made a film with Ann - Margret ( I think it was Viva las Vegas ) when Ann ( a Professionally trained Dancer ) did a `duet` with Elvis, "Come on Everybody..." At the final drum roll in that song Elvis hits the timing right on its head, whilst Ann is a little late. As for the song, there`s a rarer version of Polk Salad Annie available here in YT * Elvis - Polk Salad Annie ( One of the most charismatic...)* where he himself questions the concept, reckoning it makes no sense. The quality of the film in that video is a shame, because he was brilliant in singing that song then. Polk salad is, I understand, a real root vegetable.

[@theman6204]

Beautiful reaction, I knew you would love it. Would you check out One night with you or memories from 68 comeback special. I promise you will enjoy them

[@AutumnExplore]

Elvis was more of a Bump & Grind mover than a dancer. Watch him do "Hound Dog" Live on Milton Berle's show June 5 1956; he really dug into that one and tore the place apart.

[@Rcknroler913]

Elvis didn't dance, he gyrated.

Uh oh. She got completely lost from the beginning. U have to listen to what he's saying. Down in Louisiana there's this plant that looks something like a turnip greens. Everybody calls it Polk Salad. Polk Salad Annie. Hey they got ya granny. One of his most exciting, electrifying songs.

[@carolhayar3037]

[@MigdaliaTomalinas-os2nz]

That’s why he was loved. He was spontaneous. This was a fun song and he was having a good time. He enjoyed getting the bands and audience reaction to his uncontrollable humor. People call his moves dancing but it was a response to the music. His band followed his moves and he lead them by his body moves but they never knew when he was going to do certain moves. In Vegas he did two shows a night for 5 weeks without a day off. He wanted his shows to be fresh and gave his fans a special experience.

Thank you for your reaction but 1. Poke Sallet is a weed from the poisonous Pokeweed family - can be eaten if picked @ right time in spring; 2. Hut 2-3-4 is marching cadence from his days in the Army. 3. You really should stop talking over Elvis while he's performing -- you're cutting into the little things he says & does & you're missing things by going over him & it is disruptive.
