The only man who ever looked badass doing a shimmy.

It was a sad day in August 1977....I was too young to remember, but his passing affected a generation of people around the world....he was a kind and generous soul who did a lot of great things for music during his time and still has a massive following today. I began listening to his music as a teenager when I should've been into the mainstream music of my time. There will never be anyone like him or even come close to him as a music icon....I'm humbled you were a little emotional during your reaction when you talked about his death.....this is the kind of effect he had on many people....long live The King.

Nobody is Greater than Elvis. NOBODY

My mum was a massive Elvis fan, she was a part of the beginning of the Australian chapter of the fan club back in the sixties and seventies, the one that got Elvis a massive memorial here in the oldest cemetery in Melbourne, it's like a smaller sized mausoleum and it's so grand you'd imagine Elvis was actually buried there, and when I was a child i thought he actually was because mum took me there every year. She met her first husband in the fan club, and ironically I was born the year Elvis died. That always stuck with her. That the worst thing in her life, and the greatest thing, all happened in 77

Everyone thought MJ done that move first, but nope it was the King's move 💞

I love Elvis :) Boy oh boy did he have the moves....he was called Elvis the Pelvis for a good reason, LoL :) My dad got to be a security guard at one of his concerts and he got a scarf from Elvis, which my dad gave to me, special :)

Favorite line “If you can’t find a partner use a wooden chair”. In these early days, when he was on TV they weren’t allowed to show him from the waist down. Yea, had he lived (and didn’t get fat and load up on drugs at the end), he could’ve produced so much greatness. But fame can take a toll on people. It did him. 😢

LOVE your reaction. :):) And you're so right, he did die way too young. I believe with all my heart that if Elvis hadn't lost his mother at such a young age, he would still be alive today. Just a heads up...there are haters & trolls out there who spend their lives focusing on the negative of people & sickly still seem to focus on his death only but TRUE & LOYAL Elvis fans like myself, knew that just like us, HE WASN'T PERFECT...they know that he was a selfless, loving, giving & decent human being who loved his family & everyone around him. He gave to numerous charities, loved his fans deeply & cared just as much for the people who worked for him. He gave money to people on the street he didn't even know, his generosity knew no race, creed or color. He's adding more & more fans everyday (young & old) & we're so grateful for yet another one. You have excellent taste in music. ;) More video suggestions..."Polk Salad Annie" (Live), "Suspicious Minds" (Live), "Walk a Mile in my Shoes" (Live), "How Great Thou Art", & "Peace in The Valley" are just a few of my favorites but then again, I love them all, lol!!

It was from his 3rd film Jailhouse rock a great film he choregraphed that whole scene he was 22 then he could certainly move loved your reaction his first hit was 1956 he was fantastic you should check out more of Elvis when you can the 68 specical and live from Las Vegas 1970 just awesome thank you stay safe 😷✌

Sadly, the most gifted souls are usually the most tortured. We've lost a lot of genius, too young, over the years. Janis, jimi, Jim morrison, elvis, chris cornell, kurt cobain, the list goes on and on😥

Elvis had 30 #1 hit singles. The artist who eventually broke that record is Paul McCartney, many years after the Beatles broke up. Paul now holds the record for being on more #1 hits than any other artists however, he never had a #1 hit using only his own name!

I've been watching him since I've been 5yrs old He is The Goat

back in the around 1956 this song was in a movie the name of the song was [ BOSSA NOVA ] he did dancing movies ever few people seen before so amazing ! also -- [ SUSPECIOUS MIND IN LAS VEGAS ] WOW !!!!!! and [ PATCH IT UP ] [ POLK SALAD ANNIC ] ! and so many others ! thank you for a great reaction !

like seeing otherpeople injoy elvis. thank you.

HE'S SUCH A FIREBALL IN THIS VIDEO!!!

I grew up listening to Elvis and I remember being told when I was younger keep in mind I grew up and well I was born in 1974 so I was told in my parents bedroom where the stereo was I was not to touch the Elvis albums unless I had permission but I do remember getting caught and I don’t remember why which parent but I was listening to Elvis on the stereo with all his albums completely surrounding me so it was a catch 22 but I love Alice I always will

It's from the movie Jailhouse Rock. This is a music video he made in the movie, so that people would see convicts and ex-convicts as human beings. It was a 'fun' song just to make it easy for other folks to swallow that bitter reality. In the movie, he beat up a guy who was abusing a woman at a bar, he got thrown in jail for 6 months, jail turned him into a cruel person (he was sweet when he first got to jail), and then a life-changing event makes him a good person again. He definitely didn't rock out during the part where he was actually in jail. He was mostly just crying.

Elvis opened the door for many artists that dance including Little Richard James Brown etc .. several black artists said he helped open the doors for them to be accepted w their dance moves ..

They actually let Elvis just do his natural dance moves then choreographed everything else around his moves for this scene in the movie.

THE KING DID SO MANY THINGS FIRST!

They say he retired and left the industry and now is a pastor at a church somewhere. He's on youtube. He's like 80 something.

From the film "jailhouse rock"

"Elvis the Pelvis". He was on a TV show (Ed Sullivan) and they wouldn't show his body from the waist down. Some say Elvis was so big because he was the first white man who sounded black. I was never a big fan but Elvis was very instrumental in the progression of American Popular Music.

Elvis the pelvis..Remember when he died..Came on radio..My Mom had to pull over watched her cry..Always loved his music..Had love of music..Fame and Thoose Movies had adverse effect on him..He hated most of his movies

Wow I dance here together with Elvis 💃💃💃😂😂😂 Kisses from Brazil 🇧🇷 and thanks for this video ❤️👏👏👏

A great song from the 50s is At The Hop by Danny and the Juniors. I think you'd like that one. I'm 75 and it brings back so many memories! Love your reactions.

The only man besides M Jackson that could walk out on stage and only move his little pinky or his leg and people would go NUTS

We all have our limits. 42 was old for Elvis. He was 28 when he met the Beatles who came to his house when they hit America because they were such huge fans. It wasn't a mutual feeling, as Elvis was fearing the world was moving on without him. Six years later on his '68 Comeback Special" he was re-born and continued to do what he did best. Perform in all his Elvi glory......

This is a fun scene from the film that he choreographed himself. We used practice rock and roll dancing with an open door .

James Brown said that Elvis was his brother and he asked for 30 minutes alone at Elvis's coffin

He had a pill addiction probably from my research from his tours and staying up so late and researching and his gigs and everything it was a lot for him and he was well loved but I think it took a toll on him, My parents went to see I believe it was his last concert he ever performed in person before he passed away

Classic forever!

according to Little Richard, Elvis Presley invented rock ‘n’ roll! He’s the King! oh… Elvis Presley is alive in 2021… BELIEVE IT OR NOT! Soon, the world will know!

So great to see you reacting to one of the rock and roll 🐐! Another old classic artist to look into would be Buddy Holly, who was taken way too early. He was only 22 years old when he died in a plane crash along with some other big stars of the day. This became known as the day the music died, which inspired Don Mcleans classic song "American Pie". That'll Be the Day or OH Boy would be a great place to start.

Suspicious Minds live is a must 👍👍👍

I recommend either "All Shook Up" or "Suspicious Minds" for your next Elvis reaction. I recommend reacting to "Blue Christmas" in December.

He was greater than all of them. Many copied from him

Elvis also gave cars and homes to many...

I love how you crush on Dolly Parton in some of your vids 😍😁. It's so sweet. Pease react to 2 more of her songs. First song is "I will always love you". She wrote that song in the 70s and Whitney Huston sang later on and turned into a ballad. She has a beautiful red dress on in the video. The second song you must react to is "Jolene". You will love it, what a great heartfelt story she tells. I look forward to your reactions always . Love and peace, Valerie

Elvis and James Brown were friends- James Brown once said Elvis was his idol!

Great video. I saw another one where Elvis has some smooth moves...Mean Woman Blues.

Great job👍👍. Elvis and James Brown never worked together, but they were good friends.

BEAUTIFUL reaction 💜

My mother was actually pregnant with me in 1857. He choreographed this dance scene fir the movie Jailhouse Rock. He was ahead of his time. He was 42 when he passed. Michael Jackson used some of Elvis dance moves.

Elvis was heavily influenced by blues. It was a movie from the 50s. Before my time.😆 Good review, as always🙏

Wish he had done more moves/ dancing in his time just can never get enough 👍nice reaction

Dude. Listen too Crawfish. From one of his movies. Cool duet. The woman in that video has one of the best voices I've ever heard.

So true, he passed away too young and he was also way ahead of his time.

This part of the movie is now considered the first music video ever done by the music video standards of today.

It's from the movie Jail House Rock.

Jackie Wilson loved Elvis they were close friends.

He had struggled with serious bowel issues, severe constipation that put him in the hospital several times with impacted bowel (which can kill you) probably secondary to his use of opioids. He died while on the commode, most likely from straining to go.

Yes

He was 42 years old when he passed.

Michael Jackson was inspired my Elvis. At the beginning Elvis had his hand around the crouch area and MJ used that and the black shoes with white socks. Elvis as well was able to stand on his toes, which MJ copied also.

He did cover of Simon and Garfunkel "Bridge Over Troubled Water" that S&G later said they liked better than theirs (but listen to their version live in NY Central Park) and also "You Gave Me a Mountain" which is really fantastic.

I'm mad, too - he left us far, far too soon.

The movie was also called the Jailhouse Rock.

You should watch the viewers movies because at the same time they are old-school but they are so great I even showed a couple of them to my 14-year-old a few years ago and he love them

Yeah, it's from a movie of the same name. It was his first movie.

He was sitting as far as I know from research that he was in the bathroom and fell over probably from a heart attack and then someone about them later. I don’t know how true that is but that’s what I’ve heard for years

You should check out the video called "Elvis & the Black Community." It's pieces of interviews with people who knew him and such, and it gives you a great sense of his character.

You should react to the song “without love” from the musical hairspray

Love you bsbe You are good make me laugh Keep up good work xx love you

Early Elvis rocks! The audio sounds so clear I think it might be the studio version of the song overlaid on top of the footage from the movie, the ending bit excepted. I remember the day Elvis died. My aunt came over to cry about it with my mom. I was eight or nine at the time, so I couldn't understand what the fuss was about. Beyond "Jailhouse Rock", check out "Heartbreak Hotel", "Hound Dog", "Blue Suede Shoes", "That's All Right", "Mystery Train", "Don't Be Cruel", "All Shook Up", and "Blue Moon" among his other hits from the 1950's. Elvis dropped "Little Sister" in 1961 after he came back from the army, but it rocks too!

Watch “Mean Woman Blues” from movie 🍿 “Loving You” 1956 (second film)

He died of a drug overdose. 😢😢 I’m so glad you didn’t refer to 41 as old!😂😂💜 Freddie wrote and sang Crazy Little Thing Called Love in honor of Elvis. Listen to it. It sounds a lot like Elvis’s style!!

Go cat Go!

This is one of the reasons how Michael Jackson started learning how to dance. MJ was 12 years old when this film came out...anyone can see the similarities?

@primate bluey Agreed. And in addition, he suffered several painful and serious illnesses.

If you can find it Mean Woman Blues is another frantic moves fest from the same period.

LUV EdD5 😍😎

Thank you for a thoughtful review.

That move was illegal on the Ed Sullivan show.

That's why they called him The Pelvis and TV would only show him from the waist up for a while

Yeah, from the movie Jailhouse Rock. FYI, a lot of voices was added to the movie that wasn't on the actual recording of the song. The "daddios", the "rock rock rock"s and the figure snapping were added. Teddy Bear, Treat Me Nice and You're So Square would be my recommendation. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/arJ1Zc2evJ-8lI0.html&feature=emb_logo

movie Jailhouse Rock

I think it was the Movie Jailhouse rock

Heartbreak Hotel is one of his best!

Please react to Queen performing Crazy Little Thing Called Love which is essentially Freddie doing Elvis

Cool cat

Him and Mohamed Ali were very good friends, check out the vids about their friendship on YT-

I saw the movie and most of his movies were good 👍

Sometimes great singers do sound like an instrument to me, an effect I first noticed with Amy Winehouse I think. Sometimes she sounded like a flute, sometimes like a trombone. Elvis in this one clearly is a saxophone blown on top of the lungs.

From the movie of the same name.

For a bit if a change , give beady eye bring the light a listen!! Might surprise you! Some good backing vocals at the end! Just a suggestion? Cheers

#NoLimitNation

He was only in his 40's.

Check out Teddy swims can't make you love me and Bob seger turn the page!

When you have time please review PENTATONIX - HALLELUJAH

You need to read or look at his story .. Elvis was doing a lot of pills uppers and downers to sleep .. so sad .. he died in his bathroom ..

Hurt is a good song by Elvis

Kinda crazy with how things are today. But, his dance and style was considered over sexualized back in the day. Now... we have the f’ing WAP 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️😳

Hey man he said you cutest little jail bird I ever did see..,, haha who he talking about?❤️Tennessee

Thanks, Twon -- this is a great video of young Elvis -- and those "moves" were part of the reason that in his early TV appearances, they would only show him from above the waist -- "Elvis the Pelvis" -- was considered vulgar... lol (BTW. seems that he knew how to work a pole!) If you appreciate awesome dance moves (and I think you do) -- you will be blown away by the Nicholas Brothers... this is in a movie also featuring Cab Calloway -- great singer, conductor and also a dancer in his own right... when you have time and inclination, I hope you will review this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lZ6peqqlu7HWdGw.html

Do a Luke combs reaction or spice 1 be sweet

What's up Twon! Can u please react to P.O.D youth of the nation.

Kindly react to Nadine Lustre’s “Wildest Dreams” Visual Album Trailer. Please, please, please! I swear you’ll have an amazing journey-vibes, visuals, lyrics, beats, concept wise, 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Yeah man, late to the party. But yeah it's from an early movie and it's hilarious cuz he is so young here. I don't know how old you are but I think it was like 21 or maybe 22 here and it was after those 1956 appearances on the Milton Berle show and another one I can't remember where he just went nuts I think doing hound dog and then unexpectedly even to the band, when it was supposed to be over he just started extending it but in half time so it was slow and the band followed along and then he really had a chance to show off some really for the time scandalous stuff which today would be absolutely nothing. And it caused a huge backlash. I mean the younger crowd and even some older people loved it but there was a very kind of conservative and also racist backlash, and they even used the N word and describing his behavior and so when he went on at Sullivan later that same year and I think he's all of 20 years old at this point and they would only film him from the waist up on any of the songs where they thought he might start doing that. Utterly ridiculous. But that was a different time for sure in the mid 1950s. So anyway not only at the time did he want to get into the movies, this was his way to do whatever he wanted. And it's not quite as crazy as the stuff he was doing before, but it's pretty cool man. Apparently he didn't like the choreography that was suggested for him so he said he was just going to do his own and that's exactly what he did, laugh.

Of course love Elvis, love your reactions, BUT country way under played. You said you like video with story in an earlier review. Might I suggest our having some fun with Brad Paisley & Toby Keith? Guarantee laughs. Brad Paisley: I'm still a guy, & Online.Toby's : As good as I once was or How do you like me now?
