He was deeply loved. Still is ❤. He illuminated the planet. 😢 miss you Elvis.

[@philipkoen5811]

Here (in the Netherlands) Danny Mirror had a #1 hit with:"I Remember Elvis Presley" (also a big hit in other European countries)....give it a try😉

[@monikakoch6309]

@@philipkoen5811I bought the vinyl (45) from Danny Mirror 1977. I still have it. I was a 14 years old fan from Germany when Elvis died. I miss him every day. I was 5 times in Memphis and many times in Graceland and at his grave. Elvis is the longest love of my life. ❣️

[@philipkoen5811]

​@@monikakoch6309​ Leider war ich noch nie da....Ich sollte in 1991 gehen aber ich hatte leider ein schwerer unfall (coma). Jetzt geht es nicht mehr weil ich arbeitsunfähig bin un mein ganzen geld auf geht am haushalt. Schade, aber bin froh für dich.

[@susyq810]

If LOVE would have been enough to keep him with us.....he would STILL be alive.....we love you Elvis❤❤❤❤

[@shaunrussell5877]

I've been an Elvis fan for 50 years and still get goosebumps, and in total awe of this man and the effect he still has and always will have. A true gift from God. Thank you Ray for all the love you show this man and your followers. Love to you and your family from a friend in England. 😊

[@Nablusof5]

Elvis never realized how great he was. He didn’t think anyone would remember him after he died. I pray that wherever he is he can see how much he’s loved and always will be.

[@TheSpitmitt]

I was alive the day Elvis passed and I cried on a bus bench in the rain...so people would not see my tears. Sad to say I felt worse than if a family member died. This video brought it all back to me and I am crying again. When I heard the news I was working on the movie GREASE setting up the lighting for the song Greased Lightning. Suddenly my boss walked onto the sound stage and telling to the whole crew...I HOPE NONE OF YOU ARE ELVIS FANS BECAUSE HE JUST PASSED AWAY. I was just so sick inside.....I still am after this video. He was just magic...still is. I am glad you took interest in Elvis as I , and so many others did. I appreciate all you do to keep Elvis in our minds. I will always love this guy for making my life so happy.

[@HeavenlyPresley-Tonya]

I Remember this day like it was yesterday - ( IT WAS MY LITTLE BROTHER'S 9TH BIRTHDAY ) Walking into our living room I was 10 years old - Elvis music was a constant - comfort feeling as a Kid - Daddy playing Elvis's Records - Elvis on the Radio / Stereo -- Walking in seeing BOTH Of My parents crying!! and a constant of the news repeating Elvis had died... and We watched the funeral - all the coverage - IT WAS SHOCKING / HEARTBREAKING TO ME AS A 10 YEAR OLD LITTLE GIRL - ELVIS WAS OUR WORLD - OF COURSE STILL IS BUT AT THAT TIME THAT DAY EVERYONE GRIEVED SO MUCH LOSING HIM!!! IT'S AS IF THE WORLD STOPPED - HE WAS THE FIRST SUPERSTAR - MY DADDY HAD ELVIS SIDEBURNS TIL EARLY 80'S RIP DADDY!!!! WHEN I SEE THAT FOOTAGE ON THE TV WITH ELVIS'S PHOTO REPORTING HE DIED - MAKES ME JUMP -- THANKS RAY!!!!!

[@lancewoolfolk8824]

I remember where I was. I was 12 yrs old jumping on my trampoline in our front yard. When my sister came out the front door to tell me that Elvis died. My parents bought me an Elvis Shirt and 2 Elvis Albums.

[@Michelles222]

Wow...your story was beautiful. Made me cry. I'm 64 and I remember at 18 sitting in my car at a red light. Then on the radio, they said Mr. Presley has died... I thought it was his father, Vernon. Then I heard them say Elvis has died. I cried and cried as I could hardly drive, but I drove to my grandmother's house to see my oldest brother. I knew he would be there. He was there swinging on Grandma's swing.. crying. He loved Elvis so much. And yes, his friends made fun of him in high school because of his love for Elvis. But he never swayed from loving him. Rip brother. ❤ Rip Elvis ❤️ Missing you so much 😢

[@cjangeleyes]

I bawled. Especially when you called for a prayer. You are not late. There is no time. Prayers cross time and space and dimensions. It went to where it needed to go. Thank you for honoring our dear Elvis. He lives on in all our hearts. And always will! His spirit lives on. I have no doubt! You can’t bring that much love into the world and not receive it back. Laws of the universe! ❤❤❤ TCB!

[@Kathryne0816]

Right there with you. Elvis' soul is eternal.

[@carriemichelle322]

I was only 3 when Elvis passed. My mother couldn't function and I was taken to my grandparents house to stay for a week! My mom died at only 57 yrs young, & til her death, she refused to believe he had really died. She wanted to believe he was on a private island waiting for her! Lol She never went to Graceland because she was in a wheelchair (multiple sclerosis)& she said her heart couldn't take it. I went & put her name on the wall. Most emotional, spiritual and best day of my existence. I mourn for my mom, grandparents and Elvis! RIP Ep and Family.💔❤😇⚡😭🕊👑🎸🎶

[@donkinghan1]

Very genuine reaction Ray. I watched to the end with watery eyes and took those 10seconds with you and I am 54. He was just a beautiful, humble, kind, charismatic human with the most amazing ability to sing any song and make you feel it. I defend Elvis' memory quicker than I defend a family member. He is the greatest - 50% for his amazing talent and 50% for the man he was. 🙏

[@thepuma2012]

Wow, I totally agree with you on everything you said. (and I m 55)

[@TSOE-JustGoodMusic]

On point. 46

[@jimmykarlsson2567]

Absolutely 35 from Sweden

[@laurasotomiranda1488]

I also agree 110%. I’m 51 years old n been a fan since 5 years old

[@marvacurry8925]

I was nine years old (same age as Lisa Marie). I lived five miles from the mansion. We went to the mansion in a vigil that night. Very sad when it happened.

[@suzanneoverton7351]

Thank you Ray 🙏........and his truth really is marching on ❤

[@giselasouza8867]

There Will never be another Elvis again. Elvis was Unique and is Unique. The King. 👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑

[@kilkennyrose7099]

I still remember exactly what I was doing on August 16, 1977. My world came to a sudden stop and a 16-year-old girl ran to her room and cried her eyes out. I cried till I couldn't cry anymore. These videos still make me cry to this day. You are missed so deeply Elvis, I will always love you.

[@ricksurratt9034]

I was also 16 years old and I can remember staying over at a friends house and his mother coming out to us in our tent and telling us that Elvis was dead. We immediately turned on our a.m. radio and listened RIP Elvis

[@costinstefan3382]

Elvis was ahead of his time. His genius cannot be explained in words. What this man left in just 42 years can never be matched by any artist of the modern era. His musical legacy remains eternal.

[@vibereacts05]

[@lindabratcher4457]

Thank you for your love of Elvis. We have a bond. Thanks for all your kind words about him. We are so thankful for you.

[@normacardenas2090]

Wow I’ve never seen this and brings tears to my eyes. He is like an angel singing. 😔♥️

[@mitchellwestford9312]

I only 12 years old he died Elvis try so hard to keep his fans happy that why we lost him so young 😔🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@TSOE-JustGoodMusic]

Why Elvis? Because Elvis is love! And love is everything! ❤ Thanks for this heartfelt reaction! ⚡

[@susyq810]

" All I ever wanted to do was help people..love them ...lift them up and spread some joy".....Elvis Presley Dear Elvis....Thank you for loving ....lifting up and spreading joy toward your fellow human beings while you were with us. We know you thought you would be forgotten.....please know you live in our hearts forever.....you are unforgettable . You still lift us up with love and joy remembering how kind and caring you were toward so many people...whether you knew them or not. Your fans love and remember you for your humanity as much as your God given talent. You are and will always be "our Elvis"...❤ Elvis was... and is still here with us ! 🎶 Glory....Glory Halleluja!!!🎶 Thank you Jennifer for this request ❤ Thank you Ray for all the love and respect you give Elvis. I believe he is smiling ❤❤❤

[@julialesleysheppard]

Elvis was so humble and so loved his fans. It was his happiness in his life to make people happy, be it signing an autograph or buying someone a car!! He frequently said to friends and family that he worried he’d not done anything special to be remembered for. I so hope that he is able to see now how loved he was and how his legacy has been strong and is staying strong with his memory being kept alive be old, and now new fans. 👌💕🕺🙏

[@susyq810]

@julialesleysheppard I believe he knows he is being remembered with love and is smiling and finally at peace. I know many will disagree but it's just my personal belief.

[@Kathryne0816]

Right there with you, my friend, Elvis embodied the Commandment to "Love God with all you might, and love you neighbor as yourself." Love you, too, Girlfriend.

[@peejpeej693]

❤

[@AngelasJoys]

My husband came in and the look on his face said everything, as he looked at me and said, "Elvis died." I felt as if I was punched in the stomach. I walked over to the kitchen table, put my head down and cried till the next day. He took the kids. I'm crying now remembering.

[@3ScotsInk]

I was born and raised in Memphis and was working at a record store 20 minutes from Graceland when his death was announced. I can tell you, it wasn't only Elvis Presley Blvd that was jam-packed with people. The city was at a virtual stand still everywhere. Our store filled up and every Elvis album, single, and tape was bought within the hour. It was stunning, sobering. We were all in shock. Thanks, Ray, for honoring Elvis this way. He really was a stellar human being, in addition to all of his well-deserved legendary rock n roll superstar status. True greatness never dies. Peace.

[@brandicarson-fulmer5496]

I am an avid Elvis fan. I don’t even have to say his last name because he was and still is that important. Everyone knows who Elvis is. I jokingly say that even a newborn baby knows him. They will very shortly after birth, that is for sure. This month, on the 16th, will be 46 years since his death. Elvis is alive forever in my heart ❤

[@ianraymondback]

Nothing the haters can say will ever stop us living elvis

[@reggiehemingway1983]

I was only 13 when elvis died i was from a brocken family and elvis was all i had his music was my only release my comfort he took all my worry and misery away at that time in my life and through elvis i found jesus his kindness and inpact on so many life lifes is outstanding he gave his all what he packed into 42 years on earth still brings shivers down my spine ..i was mocked by people saying why you lisern to a dead artist ive defended elvis through out my life im 59 now and elvis is still a big part of my life its are to explain unless your on the same journey so thankyou elvis for getting me throught so much in my life i know god blessed you and you where here for a reason you touch our hearts and still do to this day

[@angelamelton4747]

You and me have traveled a similar road. Under stand perfectly. ELVIS is part of me.

[@patriciaferrini-xt1ry]

Me too Elvis Presley help me to go on when I had to be strong for my family... he helped me to keep close God in my life...

[@depper]

The ANGELS were preparing the DISCIPLES here. I genuinely believe Elvis was preparing his fans for the inevitable, and the ONLY QUESTION is what year did this start? I believe that this transition started RIGHT THERE in the '72-'74 period. The last 5 years was a terrible grind for Elvis. He was caught in a trap and he couldn't get out. He did it HIS WAY. He believed MOST in the TWO THINGS that bring people together, FAITH AND MUSIC. And the fans were the EVIDENCE. Each fan then and EACH NEW FAN TODAY means that Elvis succeeded in bringing MANY different types of people TOGETHER. HE REALLY believed in that. You could SEE IT and FEEL IT in his music. That wasn't an act. Glory, glory Hallelujah, his faith in HUMANITY STILL MARCHES ON. Thank you Elvis and thank you Ray for making this feel real 45 YEARS after his passing. We are NOT ALONE. We are just one of many more generations that will sing his praise.

[@francineevieceli2582]

I love love your honest reactions!! Elvis will be forever missed and Forever will be Loved!!

[@Ashley-rp9wq]

I ugly cried for this. He will truly be missed ❤❤ He was an inspiration for music, as a human being.. his heart lives on because we all do. And remember him❤

[@Machomannorway]

Elvis was a total one-off in every sense of the word. His death was a total shock, people refused to believe it. He was so much more than just an «entertainer», he was a household name, the world over. He bridged the «generation gap», uniting people, not dividing. He never hurt a soul, only himself. People who bring so much joy like Elvis did, should have lived to be a 1000 years.

[@EPFAN77]

I was 4 months old the day Elvis died. by the time I was 5 years old maybe 6 I was a 150% ELVIS FAN! Not because my Mom or Dad was, because honestly they were not. They liked him but neither had tapes or albums of his music. But something about Elvis hit me like a ton of bricks, I fell in love with his voice, his smile, his love for his mother , his love for GOD. But it was not easy growing up in the 80"s and 90"s being an Elvis Fan. I learned quickly that kids would make fun of the fact that I loved Elvis. They would make fun of his looks when he got older , just before his death, they would make fun of the music he sang, and the outfits he wore. And believe me , it would make me so angry! I would see news articles in the grocery line when i would go to the store with my Mom that just made Elvis out to be some horrible person . I will never understand people and the drive they have to make Elvis out be someone that he is not. Elvis will always be The King of Rock and Roll with a heart the size of the world. No One will ever compare !

[@terrygarcia897]

Back in the 70s I didn't dig people saying bad stuff about the king and I don't dig it now and I let people know.

[@deborahcornell171]

I was in my early 20's & worked in the Business Office of the college where I was also a student. At 4:30pm my coworkers & I walked out to the parking lot, laughing together about something when one of the girl's husband, who'd been sitting in his car waiting for her, stepped out of the car & said "Elvis died!". He'd just heard it on the radio. Our laughter stopped & for a minute we just stood there, stunned. I remember saying "What??". Then people were calling out to each other from all over the place, all across the large parking lot, spreading the unbelievable news. Suddenly everyone was jumping in their cars, wanting to get home to watch the news, many hoping it was some kind of awful mistake. All I could think about was getting home to call my mom & older sister who lived out of state. I knew they'd take it hard. The three of us had gone together to see Elvis in concert just a few short years before, in '73 & '74. All the way home I kept having flashbacks to seeing that incredibly beautiful face close-up & in the flesh, smiling & laughing, full of life. And that gorgeous voice...how it soared through the arena & landed in your heart. It was a sad night. A lot of people comforting each other all over the country & around the world. I did a lot of comforting throughout the next few days, through the news coverage, funeral coverage, people's remembrances. And I needed some myself, too. Thanks for your heartfelt reaction to this video, Ray. You've become one of us & we love you & your family. As always, much love from Kentucky. 💙🌿💙🌿💙🌿💙🌿💙🌿💙🌿💙🌿💙

[@diannegibson1847]

Thank you Ray for doing this...he will always be missed..I love elvis forever..I have never seen this footage..but if you can watch Elvis funeral ..Long black limmosine..its a sad but beautiful and well put together video..its really had to watch but as a devoted fan From New Zealand I had to watch it 😢😢😢😢

[@marycorner4809]

Tried watching all of the video but very difficult through my tears 46 years after his passing and he is still loved by his fans thats an awesome legacy for a wonderful humble compassionate man who still touches the lives of people who listen to his beautiful voice today great reaction Ray ❤

[@thelittlemrs]

Always cry when I see this video. So heartbreaking 😢 I miss Elvis SO much ❤ and I wasn't even born when he was alive. He's been the constant in my life. Love and Respect 🙏 ❤

[@KenHowlett-yv7ey]

I applaud your heartfelt emotion and sincerity, Ray. I’m not telling a secret here, but the day Elvis died was horrible. As a 12 year old kid, his death and my incredulity at losing him stayed with me. But the flip side - As I got older I realized Elvis will never die. He left the world with an unparalleled catalogue of songs, live performances, videotaped rehearsals, movies, and behind the scenes footage which will keep him alive for eternity. More importantly, he gave to us a legacy of love for people which should serve as a blue print for mankind. His life, and the way he lived it, is a handbook on caring for and helping your fellow man when you can. The thing to remember is this - Elvis is loved so unconditionally by his fans because he first loved them. On another note, you just know Elvis would get the biggest kick out of watching your transformation into a huge fan. I know I have. Thank you!! You’re a blessing.

[@JudyKLC]

Death slips in between heartbeats...between breathing in and breathing out...but the force of Elvis' life and voice still reverberates down through the decades. We are never ready to let someone go, but go they must...we all must... We remember you Elvis, and we love you...still.

[@Kathryne0816]

EP died on my 22nd birthday. It was crushing at the time, but as the years go by, the hurt lessens with the knowledge that Elvis belongs to eternity, and that he accomplished so much in so little time. I think he would have been especially touched by the fact that the people lining the streets of Memphis at his funeral were young and old, black and white, rich and poor - all brought together by their love for this wonderful man. Ray - don't hide your tears, brother. Elvis was easily moved to tears, even on stage. He wasn't embarrassed by them, and neither should you be. I have shed more tears - and add some more today - over EP than for some of my closest friends and relatives - that's how much he touched me then and now. TCB, and thanks, EP for everything.

[@novepesmepav2852]

He touched us all it's just so heartbreaking no matter how much time has passed. He deserves to be loved and admired for the human being that he was a true KING OF ROCK AND HUMANITY! MAY HE RIP

[@catherinjenen5510]

😢😢we are all crying with you. Thank you for your love ❤and appreciation of everything you do to keep Elvis alive. May God bless you and your family. Elvis Presley RIP

[@elizabethbruce3944]

You are not late with the prayer. I remember the day he died. I am now 60. He lives on forever. Nobody and I mean nobody will ever equal this man. Rest in eternal peace Elvis and thank you so much for the music, films and magical memories that defined us. Always in our hearts❤

[@delilahmorrow4606]

I cry and cry eatvhing this. Two days later was his funeral after passing away. Through the week andbthat many folks was there.we didnt have away of getting around like folks do nowdays. People had to work also & it being in the week.😢 I hope I'm making sense. Im crying.😢

[@francineevieceli2582]

I cry still watching this!! The day Elvis died my heart broke in many pieces!! I was fortunate to have seen this man in concert twice!! He will be loved forever. I don't think any artist in the history in the of ever has this kind of impact!! In 42 years he accomplished so much!! No else could ever do this!! His love for his fans and our love for him goes way beyond forever Our bond will never be broken!! Shout out to you Ray for such a heartfelt reaction Thank you !!

[@angelamelton4747]

I remember this day. It was my mother's birthday. A friend told me . I thought they were joking. Elvis's music helped me get through my parents divorice. Was the only constant in my life. Miss him still.

[@MarkRogersVOCFB]

Appreciate you man. Amazing reactions.

[@boforsyth3172]

Of all the folks now finding this amazingly beautiful and GIFTED and GENEROUS and PHENOMENONAL human beings I am so fortunate to have the memories of his life and his music………….of all those of you guys feeling the power within his music unmatched by anyone during those years and the decades since his death, OF THEM ALL, I WANT YOU TO KNOW YOU ARE MY FAVORITE!!!!!!!!! Elvis has captured your soul as he did each of us still keeping his talent and his music alive, those of us that still carry the intense power in each and every song we are watching you enjoy over and over again!!! I am so thrilled sharing this remarkable experience with you and your family just as I did as a young teenager all those years ago when Elvis Presley struggled to give us his music and I sincerely appreciate the growing admiration and respect you are giving to Elvis. ENJOY HIM, ENJOY HIS MUSIC, LET IT TAKE YOU TO THE HEIGHTS OF HEAVEN JUST AS HE INTENDED IN EVERY SONG !!!!!!!!!!!

[@presleyrules]

The day he died, my wife and I were on our way home from K-Mart. When we turned onto our street at about 2:30 p.m., the Dj broke in and said "There is a time in every Dj's career that he has to say something that he does not want to say. Elvis Presley, the King of Rock n Roll, died today at the age of 42." My wife and I were stunned. How could someone who had always been with us suddenly be gone? We remembered back to just over a year and a half earlier when we saw him in concert. New Year's Eve 1975 at the Silverdome in Pontiac, Mi. I own all his records, I've seen all his movies, as well as his Comeback Special and Aloha from Hawaii concert. But, until that night in Dec. 1975, I had not seen nor heard ANYTHING! Elvis Presley 'live' was the ultimate show. It is true.... if you heard the news back in 1977, you do remember where you were.

[@preshutchins]

I remember it like it was yesterday. I lived Directly around the corner from Graceland (Elvis Presley Blvd & Winchester) ....I was 10 years old watching The Beverly hillbillies when the news came across the screen that Elvis died. My Great grandfather took me to the wake. THAT line was so long the summer day was so hot...we stood in it for two and a half hours and we got up to the gate and then they closed it at 6 TO see all those people cutting grass writing their names crying taking any kind of souvenir from Graceland that they could was mind-blowing🤯 even for me at 10 years old. R.I.P. EP

[@lisadee.]

Elvis packed a lot of life into those 42 years!~ For sure his passing was an unbelievable day, filled with sheer pandemonium, with so many of us stricken with disbelief and grief. Thinking, hoping, and praying it was just a plot to move E into a far away place so he could have some down time and rest, away from the hounds of the media and public spectacle to always have to produce something for someone. He lived a very hard secluded life. Yet, through it all, Elvis always put 100% of himself into everything, including his fans. To think the man had pondered if he'd still be remembered when he was no longer here! ❤ I tell you, he was still just that humble boy from Tupelo, humble to the core, that no one could break. Elvis was, is, and shall forever remain one of a kind~👑 Great reaction Ray.

[@shjssjjs7015]

[@fabiodesouza7228]

أتفق معك تماما، إلفيس بريسلي كان ظاهرة مضت وتركت بصمتها ولا يمكن مقارنتها. لم يكن لدى سوى عدد قليل من الفنانين هذا التأثير، ولكن حتى بين أولئك الذين فعلوا ذلك، كان إلفيس هو الأعظم. العناق من البرازيل!

[@Mary-bk2wj]

More flowers were sold than ever, before or since, the day following Elvis’ death.

[@MaryJones-vo5nz]

Thanks Ray, I appreciate this, I was in that Hampton Roads concert. I am 80 now and loved him since the 50's, he will always be the King and hopefully will always be honored and appreciated, as you just did. The one thing they never mention much is that the Godfather of Soul James Brown and Elvis were so close that James sat by his casket for hours, and finally had to be led away. He said, "There will never be Another Like That Soul Brother". Be Blessed

[@John-c6d5i]

I was 25 when Elvis died, it was difficult to watch this, it brought back memories of that terrible day. But your reaction was very touching and heartfelt.

[@dawnbailey910]

I remember exactly what i was doing when he passed. Very sad day!

[@MrHarryreed]

Ray, I wish you could have experienced Elvis while he was alive. It was indeed a magical time. I was blessed to see Elvis in concert three times. My wife and I were at Graceland in July 1977, one month before he passed. But I will tell you this; I've never seen anyone in tune as much as you are with what Elvis was as a person and entertainer. Keep up the great reactions. You are helping to keep Elvis' spirit alive. TCB Brother!

[@sherrera66]

I remember this day standing in front of the tv in shock listening my heart pounding not believing what I was hearing. Denial, anger the acceptance omg the this brings back all the emotions of that day I’m crying all over again. I remember I stayed up all night listening to the Moody Blue álbum all night and the next 3 days of funeral coverage. God I miss Elvis the hole in my heart was never filled nor in my soul. During that time every flower shop sold out of flowers. TCB⚡️

[@JAYJason6666]

That was a sad day, a real downer... I was 9 when he died and I still remember where I was when I heard the news.. Everybody was totally bummed right out. Everyone liked Elvis, even those who weren't into his tunes or type of music still liked the guy. You couldn't help but like Elvis, he was the ultimate superstar. He looked and dressed really cool, he was charming, polite , funny...He was just a super cool guy with a 3+ octave vocal range....

[@jeliz3356]

I was 22 and 8 months pregnant with my daughter. My husband and I were leaving a Chinese restaurant downtown and people were outside on the sidewalk saying “Did you hear? Elvis has died.” Strangers were taking about it with one another. It was a warm, sunny early evening. Interestingly, I didn’t really become a big Elvis fan until this past year, and now I have been down the rabbit hole and have a profound appreciation and love for him. A study of his life and music is multi faceted. Many life lessons; both positive and not. My kids and friends just humor me but they don’t get it. How can you watch this video without shedding a tear.

[@donnaqueen8766]

I'm 75 . I was 29 when E passed. I was sure the world had stopped! I was an Elvis fan since I was 8! The whole world loved him ❤️ 💕 as I did! When I left work somebody told me and I cried all the way home and still cry today when I hear certain songs or watch things like this! Thank you for your love and respect you show him!!! ❤️

[@mikem957]

Beautiful reaction. ❤👍👍 I don't think that Elvis ever really knew just how much he was loved and adored while on this earth and till this very day by even those who weren't even born at the time of his death. Nobody in history has had a global following the way that Elvis did and still does.

[@michaelmcgrath9933]

That was hard I have tears that are falling like raindrops im also sad for your feeling which is heartbreaking, I know where I was when he passed and I cried then ,I was 15 and broken by the news. Ray thank you for showing this and thank you to the requester. He was 🔥 and no amount of rain or tears will ever put that fire out fact. ❤

[@janetbentsen1829]

Elvis was Heaven sent and now he's singing with the Angels. Thank you for this heartfelt reaction. Only Elvis ❤

[@hillsboroughguy]

I was around then and still have all of the newspapers. The world was in shock as he was a part of our hearts and we still and always will love him. You have a beautiful heart buddy

[@sammy_the_uncool2702]

I don't see reactors cry during an Elvis reaction. I just don't. Half way through I saw you bow your head and I was just... Oh God, don't cry. Ray, please, do not cry. If you cry I'm gonna cry. But then I cried. This was a very emotional & very beautiful reaction, Ray. You showed your heart 💖 bless you 🙏💕 So this is something I'm gonna let you know, Ray: The funeral car process you saw behind Elvis's white hearse? Longest funeral procession in American history. And an other historical note: During Elvis's funeral, the record for the most flowers bought and given to any American's funeral still holds to this day. Elvis was loved. He was just a man. He said that once to a preacher who was a friend of Elvis's. He said something like, "I'm not that big. I'm not that big at all. I'm just a man." You know Elvis struggled with his level of fame. Even he didn't quite understand it at times and thought that maybe the Good Lord had His Reasons but Elvis being the Christian that he was, was as humbled by the gifts that the Lord have him as he was perplexed. So Elvis thought that maybe he was given his gifts to give back to others in any and every way he could. Christians believe in tithing. You give to your church, your community, people in need. You follow Jesus Christ, love, charity, mercy, forgiveness. Elvis believed in that. He believed in that and yes he learned about other religions through reading books and talking to others, but he always went back to his Christian beliefs. Now let me just say that I do not consider myself a religious person. But I do consider myself a spiritual person and I do believe in God. That does not mean I do not acknowledge or respect Elvis's love for Jesus Christ and God and he did love them. He did try to live up to it all. But as Elvis said himself, "The image is one thing and the human being is another. It's very hard to live up to an image. I'll put it like that." He wasn't perfect but neither is any other human being on this earth. I never expected to come to love Elvis and feel protective of him. But I have and I do and I will. Elvis is gone but not forgotten and he will be forever in our hearts ⚡❤🙏🌹🙏💕 And so too will his daughter, Lisa Marie Presley 💜✌🌹🙏💕 And Ray just to say for the record: I agree with you on the media. Nope. I do not like the media any more than I like politics. It's just as hard for me to listen to some reporter disrespecting someone and all for the purpose of trying to create a problem where there is none. Anyway, I don't like crying. But to DEAR MISS JENNIFER: THANK YOU FOR THIS ONE 💜🌹💜🌹💜🌹💜🌹 And to DEAR RAY: THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS WITH US ALL HERE A VERY BEAUTIFUL REACTION RAY THANK YOU SO MUCH 💙💐💙💐💙💐💙💐 & MUCH LOVE TO YOU 💛💛🌹🌹💐💐💕💕 TCB ⚡ & TLC ❤ & peace ✌& blessings 🙏 to you & yours & to one & all here as well 💕

Beautifully said sammy...beautiful ❤

[@jackielouise7538]

Very well said, Sammy 👏 I had heard that about the record for the most flowers bought, but not about the longest funeral procession. This is particularly poignant as we are approaching the anniversary once again and it still affects me today as strongly as it did when I first heard about his passing. I have been lucky enough to attend 2 Candlelight Vigils so far and there's an absolutely amazing and indescribable atmosphere there on that night♥♥♥ I like to think that he went back to the loving arms of his mama and his brother, Jesse, and that he is safe and happy. TLC to everyone ♥♥

[@julialesleysheppard]

So well said. Even in Britain, time stood still when he died. I was 20 at my first full time job and came back to the news that paralysed me with shock. He was a thread to my life since I was 3 and had only heard his voice on the radio. We had no tv so I never saw what he looked like til I was 10 and saw him in a film, in which there was a little girl, my age and I was so jealous of her!! He is still a thread through my life to this day and I so appreciate R’Elvis bringing Elvis to new fans and finding out the awesomeness of the man. Thank you 🙏👌💕🕺

[@amandarayray9340]

Reading all the comments here, its just beautiful to hear the impact he had on people. Like many others here, I watched this one while sobbing my heart out. I was born years after he died, but I grew up listening to, and singing along with him, and watching his movies. I must have been about 6 when I first realised he was dead and I was just devastated. Heartbroken. I always will be. Love you Elvis! RIP brother ❤❤❤❤. I've always imagined that he's now up there, leading heavens choir, and we will see him again one day!

Hi Ray, I am from Germany and love your sensitive Elvis reaction a lot! I am an absolute Elvis fan since 1977, I was 8 years old then, now I am 54 and this love will last forever❤Thank you for keeping the Elvis legacy alive🙏 Many stars have come and gone, but E1vis💫 is the whole universe and the big bang💥

[@janpootemans9527]

I Remember the day he passed..i was 14 and it hurted like hell and it still does. No internet but the world knew something was wrong. Thé world stopped and i saw People crying on the street here in Belgium and i was one of them. I still don't understand that some People don't like Elvis Presley because once you Know him you gotta love him. Greetings from Belgium

I wasn't born yet...not for another 4 years but his death still hurts me ❤

[@tinaboyd3131]

Lovely respectful reaction .He done so much good in his short 42 years. At this stage because of your channel Ray it feels personal, a passing of genuine kind friend I wish I could have helped which is mad I was 8 and I lived in Ireland 😀He was " just great" .Thank God we still have his music and videos In our hearts,we can see them dimples and twinkling eyes of rascality ad-lib. Thanks Ray❤

A lot of those clips from back then can also be seen in the 1982 movie🎥 This Is ELVIS.

[@HeavenlyPresley-Tonya]

EXCELLENT MOVIE!!!!!!

[@vikkigiles2977]

OMGoodness, balling my eyes out watching that. I was 2 when Elvis died so don’t remember him. I often think he should still be with us, he’d be 88 today but then another part of me thinks would he be the icon that he is today is he was still here with us. I also feel so much upset for Lisa-Marie. We know how we feel about Elvis’ passing but this was her Daddy. The pain and anger she must of felt on a daily basis must of been indescribable. May they both rest in peace with Lisa finally in her Daddy’s arms. Thanks Ray as always. You are the best at Elvis reactions 💙

Elvis Presley's impactful performances and charismatic persona have created a lasting emotional connection with people worldwide. His music, touching on diverse themes, evokes nostalgia and admiration, inspiring fans who never witnessed his live shows to appreciate and cherish his enduring legacy.

I really enjoyed your reaction to this video. I follow most, if not all your reactions and I really can see how Elvis changed your life over time. That’s what his music and great talent will do all the time. Thank you for this. His legacy lives on.

[@brianmccarthy6544]

Elvis will always be the King. I was only 13, but just like 9/11 and the Challenger disaster I remember exactly where I was. It was devistating news even for a youngster. Thanks for your response Ray. ☮️🎵

[@suspiciousminds1750]

A truly, heartfelt & genuine reaction, Ray. -I was 18 getting ready for college, driving around with my dad on a Summer job when the news came over the radio. I was shocked, not only because he was so young (about the same age as my dad) but because like most people, the last time we saw Elvis was the '73 Aloha concert when he looked great. It was only when CBS aired his last concert the following October that we realized how sick he was. Interesting version of "Trilogy". The Aloha version is what we're most familiar with but this is faster, with a more Country flavor to it.

[@jessicachapman2227]

I was 11&1/2 years old and watching TV when it came across the screen. I told my mom and my dad came home shortly afterwards. I ran into the kitchen and told him Elvis had died. He couldn't believe it. He loved Elvis. A sad, sad day. The world lost a beautiful soul August 16, 1977. Are you aware of James Brown's love for and friendship with Elvis? He was distraught and deeply saddened by Elvis' death. He went to Graceland and sat in the music room where Elvis' coffin was placed for extended periods and wouldn't leave his side until it was absolutely necessary. American Trilogy speaks to the heart and soul.

[@monasrum4321]

There is a video on KZbin of James Brown singing Love me tender to honour Elvis, he sings its so soulful and beutiful❤

[@christiestaples8088]

Thank you so much Ray for doing this wonderful reaction as today would have been my mother's Birthday. As I let you know this was my mother's favorite Elvis song. I think I was meant to see this today. You have helped me today through my grief. My mother lived through Elvis's death and felt it deeply at the time. I always watch your reactions and feel better. You are amazing Ray. Thank you

[@kathysutton-zy8ww]

Story time for Ray: One day in Heaven, God was listening to His choir singing. It sounded fine, but He felt like it could be better. Something was missing. He said this to the choir, and they began to try all kinds of things to improve their sound. It improved a little, but it still wasn’t how He wanted it to be. He finally grew weary of their failed attempts, and He said “that’s it; I’m going to bring you someone who can teach you how to REALLY sing”. On that August day in 1977 Elvis Presley passed away, and God’s choir was elevated to new heights. And that’s why all of Elvis’s fans need to be good. 😁❤🎶

[@Patracat]

Oh that is so moving. I can just imagine Elvis leading a choir of Angels in heaven❤

[@kathysutton-zy8ww]

@@Patracat Thank you. I know God’s choir sounds sweeter now.

[@lange6542]

I have been a fan of this hero all my young life who still lives for me. the crazy thing is everyone gets older but elvis doesn't. And that says enough that elvis will never die because god sent this angel. Ray it does me good to see that there are people like me who still get very emotional with these images and I have seen them many times❤

[@parkington6550]

I’ll always remember where I was when I heard Elvis was dead. I was 10 years old and at my friends house. I walked home trying to get my mind around death. I couldn’t imagine a world without Elvis. He seemed so much bigger than life. Like a god.

[@diannesteel3557]

Ray, Tony Prince was that DJ on Radio Luxembourg. He was a huge Elvis fan who met and interviewed Elvis several times. I was 14 and stayed up all night listening to the show that he dedicated to Elvis. There are pictures of Tony Prince and Elvis and recordings of that show online. I remember his words from that night, "Elvis Presley, 42 years on this planet but he'll be here forever" 😭

[@julialesleysheppard]

Radio Luxembourg spoke that night to the whole of Europe. His fans were and are still Global 💕💕👌🙏🕺

[@Krow-go3ps]

I was born in 72 my mother grew up in ELVIS era from beginning to end, I was to young to truly understand the day but I remember my mother locked in her room & just crying, as we grew ELVIS was our foundation & the standard not just to music but to how we treated other people, I remember coming home from sledding & seeing the kitchen windows all steamed up from mom cooking or baking & we'd come in & ELVIS would be playing ALWAYS, if you tried to turn off ELVIS in our house ~ you were gonna feel the business end of a wooden spoon

[@lorenzoramirez3414]

I was just joining the military at that time in 1977 and I recall so vividly the overall rxn from my battle buddies while on CQ duties in the wee hours of the morning! We, all the loving Elvis Fans and non-Elvis ones alike, struggling with tears and emotions after the news broke out! We were in complete disbelief sad heart-broken over his untimely DEATH! Long live this great man and singer.

[@annmariering6606]

Hi Ray, Tony Prince was the Radio Luxembourg DJ the night Elvis died. Tony Prince was a huge Elvis fan, he truly loved Elvis, had met and interviewed him twice, and had introduced him onstage in Las Vegas! The night Elvis died Tony Prince was in genuine shock and maybe fell back a little on his DJ patter mentioning Radio Luxembourg so often, but he did cancel all Advertisements on the night Elvis died so that he could concentrate on Elvis, and take calls from Elvis fans! He said the sense of loss he felt at Elvis dying was like losing a father or losing a son…

[@t.m.5969]

He made every song personal like it was meant for you! He was a friend that's why I think so many love him he was personable he made himself available in his songs, his performances and in person...He loved his fans like no other he was warm, kind and generous and a down to earth everyday person who loved to sing, to eat, loved to love women and give them a thrill shaking his hips and loved to entertain us! ❤ Elvis is alive in our hearts!

[@vicki6070]

Yep, this was a very emotional video that marks another time in history when the "world stood still." Additionally, thank you for having such a great admiration and love for Elvis the Man. It's good to see someone that really cares about promoting his accomplishments, his generosity and service to others, and his love for Jesus Christ. He was, in fact, a "Child of God" and in his 1977 rendition of "How Great Thou Art," there is a moment in that song, when he sang "How great I think you are, Oh Lord" where, I believe, he was actually "worshipping" God. Thank you for speaking the "truth" out about Elvis Presley. All the best to you and your family!

[@pauldark3044]

What an heartfelt and amazing reaction Ray! What amazes me still is much of the hate he still gets from the black community even after what greats like BB.King, Ali, James Brown, Little Richard said about him, so they can't respect them either then? Many still judge people after colour and it's sad we still haven't learned!

[@julialesleysheppard]

Thank you so much for your appreciation and love for Elvis. Tears🙏👌💕🕺

[@wallyllama2926]

I was only 12 but I remember the day he died so clearly . A neighbor called over to us as we sat outside because she knew my father was a big fan. It was shocking and heartbreaking. Exactly 30 years later my youngest daughter was born on this same day. I always think of Elvis on my child’s birthday. Sad and happy all at once.❤

[@preshutchins]

Trivia Fact: A lot of people don't know that ....initially Elvis Presley was buried at Forest Hill cemetery and then grave robbers tried to plunder the burial site within days of his burial.. at which point the decision was made shortly after to move Elvis to Graceland. But his initial resting spot was not at Graceland but in fact Forest Hill cemetery which is on Elvis Presley boulevard.

[@Barbara-lb5yt]

Before he was buried at Forest Hill, his body was heavily guarded. I don't know why, this is according to Sam Thompson (Linda Thompson's brother) who was in law enforcement who thru Linda, his wife and him knew Elvis and was friends with him for 5 years and worked for him the last 1 and 1/2 years of his life. He said that he had the place surrounded but he stayed up all night that first night that Elvis was there. Thank goodness, he was moved to his Graceland home.

The best reaction to Elvis I’ve seen. I have an Elvis pin that my grandmother bought as a souvenir of seeing him live in Las Vegas in 1975. She was 60 years old then and wore the pin on occasion until she died at 93. She was laid to rest with the pin on her pink blouse. RIP Grandma Roxie and RIP Elvis

[@alyjiwan]

I was just 10yrs old, but I can remember exactly where I was when I heard the news. I got emotional too watching this reaction. Very touching. RIP 🙏🏻 Elvis, the King.

[@nathaniman7293]

I was seventeen when I saw him at Norfolk, July 20 1975. He had us mesmerized that day. I was nineteen when he died. I was devastated! Now I am sixty-five and still miss him! My four year old grandson would grab his little guitar and say, "Im Elvis" and start strumming and dancing. Josiah is now six and another generation of Elvis fans growing as he is singing to his new twin brother and sister (five months old) "I'm All Shook Up". 🙂
