Crazy to think that ppl thought Elvis’s moves were inappropriate, he truly was just feeling the music! Parents of those days would drop dead if they saw the artists of today lol

Elvis: breathe Girls: aaaaaaaaaaaahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Who’s here June 2024???

The fact that in 2024, we can watch live footage of a rock and roll legend who once existed is a huge blessing and shows the power of the internet at its best, thank you KZfaq.

Its crazy how he learned his little dance from Forrest Gump..

I just listened to a lot of dead grandmas screaming

wonderful aetist, beautiful and talent, who more in 2024?

That. Was. A. Good. Hair. Day.

Elvis: literally does nothing. Girls: whoaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh

these teenage girls are all grandma now lol

What blows my mind is this guy was just a singing, dancing, handsome rock star but to them that was the first one they’d ever seen so it just took their breath away

His humor is really amusing-- it could definitely fit in today lol

If KZfaq existed in the 50s this would have 100B views.

The parents back then thought THIS was a bad influence. Imagine their backlash if they saw the way artists dance today.People today make Elvis look like a saint

私が１０代の頃の歌です思い出します🎉素晴らしい　最高の歌手ですねもう出てこないでしよう🎉😮

This dude here is the definition of swag. Edit: James Brown is also the definition of swag 🙌

ELVIS: *Blinks* AUDIENCE: *hysterical screaming*

The screams are louder than him LMFAO LOVE IT 🙏

if there was ever a man that deserved to be called beautiful it was Elvis.

Often imitated, NEVER duplicated!

Hard to believe he was only 21 here. So polished and confident!

It sounds like the audience is on a roller coaster

Almost 70 years later and this songs still bangs. No question .

Man, he had tons of charisma!

It's striking that he laughed it up when the girls screamed at every little motion of his body. It was like he couldn't believe it himself, and took it with laughter. What a man! The King, indeed.

This guy looks pretty cool and he's funny. He might make it big.

He was just way beyond his time

He really enjoyed what he was doing

Elvis: **Blinks** Girls: AAAAAAÆÃÄÃĀªªªªÃĄĀÆÄ👹

He could literary just move his pinky and the girls would melt 💀😂

Background Elvis clapper seemed like a pretty good gig

And the world was never the same again...

Elvis is so good he comes with his own group of professional clappers

Currently on an Elvis binge after seeing the new film. What a showman he was and what a great voice. Its so tragic how he went from this man to who he was at the end. Long live the King 👑.

There’s nothing like this anymore

Good God, this man is gorgeous.

The fact that we are in 2022 and I can look at this classic performance from the king himself and still be amazed is priceless.....

*Damn! This was 64 years ago..*

will there ever be anybody as handsome as this guy ever again?

Short Story: I was 5 and my brother was 7. Dad was a very good disciplinarian and, as such, he set our bedtime each year, and enforced it consistently. On the occasion of Elvis' very first appearance on Ed Sullivan, my brother and I were in bed asleep. At about 8:40 p.m., he came into our room, woke us up, and told us something was coming on TV that never occurred before and that we would Remember for the rest of our lives. Sure enough, it was Elvis. We kids thought we were in another world - and have never forgotten it. RIP, Dad. Love you....

Elvis didn't dance to his music .. his music made him dance. The King!

I think its fair to say that any entertainer that has been dead longer than he was alive and nearly 50 years latter, millions still sing his songs, dance, smile, cry and people are still mesmerized by him: He isn't a once in a lifetime but a once in history.

that performance, couldnt take the smile off my dace

He’s not even trying. He’s just having a fun time and it’s amazing. What natural oozing talent and charisma. Talent of course but that smirk or smile is killer. I am in awe by pre-70s Elvis. There’s still nothing like that and I’m only 33!

I can feel his charisma from the other side of the world and across 70 years. Dang. 😍

Wow. Such a cool dude. Polite too. Such a Star.

Elvis presley is king 🤴

It was his mission to make the audience go crazy

His charisma is just... wow. i can see why everyone fell in love with him (except angry fathers ahah). He KNOWS he's in control, but somehow still manages to have a humble feel to him, laughing and finding it amusing when the girls scream.

Man this man was damn gorgeous.

There are many rock singers, but there is only one king.

This is still impressive in 2022. Elvis had such a unique look and style (rarely seen today) and an unbelievable stage presence.

Executives: Why should we bring you in the music industry Elvis: **Sings** Executives: Okay, anything else Elvis: **Moves leg** Executives: Holy shit

Elvis and Michael Jackson there's just something very very special about both of them.

The power of music and charisma

People need to understand what this video represents. You are seeing the first superstar in history. The moves he was doing on stage had never been seen before on television. They were common in the south (where he was from) but conservative adults had never seen anything like this. It was exceptionally provocative. MANY church groups, parents, conservatives rallied together to boycott Elvis. They even had a class-action lawsuit against the Ed Sullivan show for broadcasting "such filth". This is the birth of rock and roll. You hear those girls screaming constantly. This is really the first time that had happened in history, especially for television. Some doo-wop singers were famous/handsome and the girls would get excited over them but Elvis was such a different story. He was such a disruptor in the 50's and singlehandedly changed the culture of the nation. If I recall correctly The Ed Sullivan show was made aware of the dance moves that Elvis was going to do and the FCC or someone wanted a close camera angle on his upper body so the audience at home would not be able to see the dance moves. I believe the show ignored that and showed his entire body, which results in an FCC lawsuit. I could be wrong about the details but I recall there was significant controversy PRIOR to the show deciding to go with that camera angle. You can see that up until @1:13 they stay with a close shot and they INTENTIONALLY slowly pull back and then Elvis does his moves. Elvis also keeps laughing while singing because this fangirl thing was new to the world. He likely thought it was ridiculous how crazy they were going.

R.I.P. Elvis Presley (1935-1977)

Elvis at his height for sure - no movies, no hound dog, comfortable in his performance. The raw-Elvis never came out of the army.

You know what I hate, I'm a black man and I can not stand other black people saying elvis is a culture thief I CANT STAND IT. He grew up in a black neighbourhood he grew up in a poor neighbourhood just like Slim he would have been called white trash he had the same opportunities as his neighbours same influences but he was amazing. If you grow up in certain neighbourhoods that is what is going to influences you. If he grew up rich listening to opera would we have elvis today NO he was a product of his environment and I'm so grateful for his amazing music.

Love the end: "May God Bless You, As He's Blessed Me." - Elvis Presley

Dude is underrated with his comedy chops! So hilarious!

The man that started it all.....before Elton, queen, the Beatles, Michael, it was elvis. Truly the goat

"Before Elvis, there was nothing." -- John Lennon

It is clear that his backing singers are full of admiration for him too and are so damn proud to be performing with him!

i wish i could see the audience too

do you ever imagine that Elvis Presley's are time traveler from our time and go to the past to teach people how music in the future is going to look alike?

The way he walks with that swagger and his face.. he is timeless. His aura dwarfs the other guys. Eternally youthful

Even watching this in 2022, you can feel Elvis’s energy! His charisma is off the charts 😳

i wish i had 1/1000th of this mans charisma

He could have stepped into a time machine right then to 2021 and he’d still be a total boss. Wouldn’t have to change his look, moves, anything. He wouldn’t seem old fashioned or out dated, he’d immediately be the coolest person just as he was then.

"May God bless you, as He's blessed me."

I now get why my mother was so crazy over Elvis. He was so handsome, talented, charismatic and cheeky. He really connected well with the audience. RIP King of Roll n Roll

Elvis is indeed the king of 1950s

"Nothing affected me until I heard Elvis. Without Elvis there would be no Beatles"....John Lennon.

He fucking owned that crowd.

In my opinion Elvis is the most iconic person of all time

I love seeing young mischievous Elvis he's being bad and I love it

"may god bless you as he blessed me..."....

Like Paul McCartney said, "He was perfect looking"

HE DOES THE BARE MINIUM AND HAS ALL THE LADIES SCREAMING LIKE IF THEY SAW A GHOST ITS SO FUNNY bc that’s would be me to 😭

Elvis Presley was the king of rock and roll.

Damn, he was cool.

Who is enjoying 2021 the greatest of all time !!!! The Pelvis !!!!

Elvis was the greatest.

Who is the king???? E L V I S for sure 💙👑👑👑🎶🎸

I do love the sound of white noise 😀

elvis: *speaks* girls: *so you have chosen...deafness*

“May God bless you as he’s blessed me.” Amen.

He was so charming

Now this was a Beautiful Man ❤

Can u believe this was 64 years ago and we can rewind and watch over and over.. we are time traveling with out even knowing it..

He was the personification of the "it factor", that charisma and boyish charm and confidence, can't be taught. Still the king.

Elvis does the hip thing *thousands of family lineages end*

Wife's account. The absolute birth of rock @ roll a true legend I don't give a f what anyone says he was the Ipitime of Cool even after all these years.

This guy had the crowd in the palm of his hands and he knew it. What a pioneer!

*"Ladies and gentlemen, can I have your attention please?"* Excuse me Mr.Presley, you've already got the whole attention, even the fly's too.

Amazing. What a talent. The bunch of suited hype men clapping politely behind him make me giggle. .

Elvis was definitely showing off here. And I love it.

His pre-army performances were Elvis at his purest and happiest, which is why I absolutely love watching his performances over and over again! Talent, looks, charisma - it's a shame they tried to tamp this energy down, and make him 'family friendly' then send him off to the Army when they couldn't do it - imagine how much more his star would have shown if the Colonel would have encouraged his talent rather than suppress it!
