Elvis has now been dead as long as he was alive...Elvis died at the young age of 42 years old. A stark reminder how short his whirlwind life was and what a massive impact he made in the world with the little time he had on this earth.

@@marciadiehl5733 I still remember the day he died. It was on the cover of all the magazines. I was only 7 years old, but I understood something major had happened.

i was watching a cubs game and they said the sad news RIP King

True

He died on the toilet

Kelly Kirk love the older gentlemen dancing with Elvis.

Yes. He choreographed all of that !

@@reneebraxton1032 Originally choreographed by Alex Romero. Some of the moves and steps were taught to Elvis by Romero and Elvis added some of his own.

Good song though

What movie?

Cool

I got my.movies from.him lol

He paved the way for Michael Jackson. In fact in his video for "return to sender" he actually does that bent kick move. If you watched suspicious minds you'd see why he was almost arrested and in some places could only be filmed from waist up.

@@lisamitchell7317 Michael Jackson got his dance moves from Elvis

​@@kristinaswilleyy and yet Michael Jackson hated him a lot. He said the media only played his stuff cos he was white and everyone didn't get screen time and said he was gonna prove he is bigger than Elvis. Yet he only became the King of Pop and Elvis still remains the King of Rock. And comparing a artist who didn't even do a world tour vs Michael Jackson who did and could get a bigger audience is something. If Elvis would gone around the world he would've gotten more fans. Everyone wanted a new sound and rock and roll was the sound. Not a new sound. It was THE sound

AmishElvis1 Great name!

elvis is not dead, he just went home. have you never seen men in black?

Pretty much everything Jackson did was stuff he copied from guys like Bill Bailey. Tap dancing and soft shoe bits he mixed in with "modern" dance choreography. I grew up watching musicals with my grandparents, and saw Gene Kelly, Sammy Davis Jr and Fred Astaire do a lot of very similar, and even more impressive, stuff. So I never found Jackson's dancing particularly impressive.

@@RyanAcidhedzMurphy Definitely Jackson took from the best of those that came before him. To me, that is the height of respect...and real complement to those who paved the way and opened doors for him in the business and artistry.

MJ loved Elvis and he as us was a huge fan:)

Ryan Murphy utube Happy Feet, with dancing, from King of Jazz. Entertaining.

Damn 😂 so true

I still remember where I was when the news broke about him passing. It was a day later because there was no television in west Yellowstone mt in 77. Also our radio played from 7 am to 6 pm. It was like living in another world. Thank heaven our business was seasonal so we returned to reality. Love your videos. Elvis the pelvis and his brother...Ennis the....?

I mentioned the same thing above in response to a different post. It is eerie that Elvis has been dead now as long as he was alive. I was 21 when he passed away. I grew up watching all his movies that they would show on TV during that time. I went to one of his performances when he was touring in 1973...and unforgettable experience. After Elvis passed away, I went out and bought many of his records at a record store. They were selling like hotcakes after he died. Radio stations were playing his recordings back to back constantly for many days after he died and his funeral. One year after he passed, I drove to Memphis and hung out at the front gate of Graceland for two or three days where there were a few fans to pay their respects. Everyone of us there at that time were not able to go the year before to see Elvis in his coffin to pay our respects (the family allowed the fans that were gathered there to view Elvis's body). So I felt compelled to go on the one year anniversary of his death. Elvis and his mother had been moved to Graceland as months before an attempt had been made to steal his body at the original burial site. We were allowed on August 16, 1978 to go inside the gate to pay our respects to Elvis's grave thanks to his cousin who was a gate guard. Those of us at the gate became friendly with him and we asked if we could lay flowers on Elvis's grave. The family wasn't allowing anyone to view the grave at that time except family members and close friends. So his cousin spoke to Vernon on our behalf and he allowed us to walk up to the grave and the rest is history. Afterwards, visitors were allowed to to the gravesite and then Priscilla eventually allowed fans to go inside and take tours of the home. I have not been back to Graceland since I got to be one of the first to pay my respects back in 1978. However, I would like to think that I helped to pave the way for the millions that have come after me so they could visit Graceland. I will never forget Vernon's generosity to our little group of fans that year. May he, Elvis, and Gladys RIP.

@@marciadiehl5733 wow that's awesome. I wasn't born until 1979 so I never got to experience a time where Elvis was alive but it's funny I remember as a kid seeing his movies and tv specials on tv all the time and not just 2 days a year like they mostly do now so I never really realized that he was dead until I was about 7 or 8 and I was watching one of the shows with me dad and asked if he ever came near us could we go see him and that's when I learned that he had died in 1977 and the whole story with that. And because I was introduced to his music as a baby and had became such a big fan I was devastated when I found out. It's crazy really, but I dont remember hearing hardly any other music from my childhood until I was old enough to start finding my own radio stations and watching MTV and that's when I started listening to other music of the 80's like Guns n Rose's, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Def Lepperd and others that were gaining popularity at the time but Elvis was the music I came to love and his music it still my favorite to this day, even though I listen to all kinds of music nothing seems to affect me the way Elvis does

@@rwieber79 I can completely understand and sympathize. I was born in 1956...the breakout year where Elvis gained national and then international fame. So I truly became aware of Elvis when they would occasionally show one of his movies during the 1960's on TV. I actually got to go to the theater and see four of his later movies when they hit the theaters: Speedway, Change of Habit, Trouble With Girls, and Charro. Like yourself, I grew up when music was changing FAST thanks to the British invasion starting with the Beatles. When Elvis started cranking out some really great tunes in the late 60's, I became a real fan. When he passed away, I felt like I had let him slip away from me because I had become engrossed in newer performers and bands. The great thing about KZfaq is that I can go back and watch his performances and recapture or in some ways...discover him all over again. Great to see some younger generations going back to earlier artists and appreciating their music and talents.

@@marciadiehl5733 You were born in the same year as my father in law and my dad was born a year later in 1957 and they have a similar view as you on it. My mom and dad actually had planned on going to his last concert in Indianapolis but my dad wasnt able to get the night off work so they didn't get to go so they made plans to see I'm on the tour that never was when he was scheduled to perform here in Louisville,KY on I think it was August 18th or 19th but we all know what happened with that. And to this day my dad regrets not getting to go see him in Indianapolis.

Thanks for watching🙏🏾

next Elvis song please do "You gave me a mountain" ,,,from 1973 aloha concert,,,and "What now my love" same concert PLEASEEEEEEEEEE

when you can.. react to Buddy Holly "Peggy Sue", "That'll Be The Day", or "Maybe Baby". Heck any song if you choose. Would love to see your reaction to him period.

Here's a 'try not to cry" song to react to..... Red Sovine 'Roses For Mama'

Yes you will like the original performance a lot more 👑👍

What a great reaction. This clip was from the movie and it is well worth watching. I'm providing a clip that showcases his singing and dancing from another one of his movies 'Loving You'. The song is 'Mean Woman Blues'. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e9iDbKWHvLPJn30.html

Thank You🙏🏾

Me too. Elvis fans are loyal.

Anubis2976 🙏🏾

Elvis, as far as I know, didn't get his moves from anybody but himself. He just couldn't stand still when he was singing so he put the moves to good use. Lol! Thanks Elvis!

Everyone has their inspiration and Elvis was no different, Elvis was inspited by black people he grew up with in Tupelo and Memphis. He even attended All Night Sings in black churches where black people sang gospel music. He saw moves there :) His first song That's All Right Mama was first sung by black singer Big Mama Thornton :) Karolina/Poland

Anubis2976 I grew up in the South.. We went to black singing conventions.. they come to ours... we went to their Easter Rock Services... all of us climbing on an old bus... I sure wish folks wouldn't put all us Southerners in the same pot... Most of you would be surprised at my music collection/ selection... so many wonderful black singers ... Gospel, soul and rock n roll... We wasn't taught to love thy neighbor.. We learned by example... Life was different tho on the Bayou...

No. Elvis early music was a fusion of black (and white) gospel, r&b and country music. He didn't 'steal' music from anyone, as he has been accused. He was a man ahead of his time.

👍🏾

His voice in 1977 was good on certain songs what is overall voice control is ability to go high and low his phrasing an overall tone was much better in the early 60s songs like surrender its Now or never there's always me fame and Fortune is the proof of that and his all around physical condition was it at its best in the early 60s thank you have a good day just sharing my opinion thank u

It only happened on one Ed Sullivan show. He made plenty of other appearances on various TV shows with no such prohibitions.

@@timcarr6401 think it also happened when he performed in Florida.

Laura, you are probably referencing Jacksonville, Florida which Elvis talked about in his 1968 special. That particular performance that he spoke of was not televised, but it was filmed by authorities of that city. That's where he wasn't allowed to move at all except one of his fingers.

Check out his appearance on The Milton Berle Show.

Leo, no censorship there.

Did Michael Jackson get the moves from Elvis. Their is a reason he is the King. Changed music for generations

👍🏾

🤣🤣🤣

I’m on a musical journey I’m listening to it all lol👍🏾😎

@@jamelakajamal We seem to like similar music and l think you would also like Elvis Presley's version of Trouble from the King Creole movie from 1958. It's on KZfaq for you to watch but make sure you watch the movie version. Let me know what you think about the song.

❤👑

Ok

Thank you 🙏🏾

Shirley did you hear that pricella is producing a Netflix adult cartoon about Elvis. Its called agent king or something. I fear it will make a joke out of his legacy.

@@joannedungan8381 no.a cartoon.I no elvis liked comic books when he was little.

@@shirleycarr5387 I know but I feel like putting him in a jet pack and stuff might make him a joke not to be passed on to our younger generations. I hope it's not to bad. Clark butcher sent me the link

@@joannedungan8381 maybe shes doing it.so it will let the younger generation to know him.

👍🏾
