It is cortect! Elvis never wrote a song in his life! But he made every song his own! So far, i don't care, if he wrote his songs! I enjoy him, no matter what!

Elvis said the songs he sings are not about his life. If he likes a song, he sings it.

Yes Elvis wrote 'You'll be gone' in 1965, and co-wrote 'Don't be cruel', 'All shook up', and 'Heartbreak Hotel'. But EVERY song of other peoples he COMPLETELY made his own!

Yes, what you say makes so much sense. One of his band members said that Elvis hears a song, it goes through his brain and into his heart and then comes out through his vocals and into our hearts and souls.❤❤❤

Elvis didn't write songs, but his singing gloriously expressed universal human feelings

Many could probably write the music but only Elvis could really tell the story! Forever the King 👑

This is a very profound song about a man contemplating suicide due to the loss of his love. Elvis really does it justice!

No, Elvis did not write his own music but neither did Whitney Houston, Frank Sinatra and many others. Elvis rarely did a cover song like the original artist but he sure made it memorable!

He is the ultimate story teller isn’t he? Writers give him words and he expresses those better than anyone else.

Elvis picked songs he liked, very often arranged them to his style and made them his own. He moves people with his music today as he did more than 50 years ago. Amazingly beautiful and talented man. I will love him always.

The Master at work. What else is there to say about Elvis, except WOW.

Elvis could not read music. He did not write any songs. He covered songs that he liked, that meant something to him and expressed how he felt. Singer/song writer Mac Davis wrote 4 songs for Elvis, and If I Can Dream was written for him as well. Every song Elvis sang he did in his own style and made many of these songs his own. Elvis' voice is probably the most imitated, but there will never be anyone like Elvis. It wasn't just his voice, but his looks, his clothing, style, personality, sense of humor, humblenees and ability to command the stage. He was the whole package. He never wanted to disappoint his audience or his fans. He always gave 150%. You can't take your eyes off of him when he's on stage. The consulate performer, needing no distractions on stage. The older I get, the more I appreciate Elvis.

Elvis gave every song he sang a soul. He made it a living proof of his magnitute.

Elvis had so much charisma, voice, and put on the best shows. This was his live concert from Hawaii, I remember watching this live from home….awesome concert!

You would have to know how musicians worked in the 50's. Frank Sinatra all were encouraged to use union songwriters. He signed with RCA who had a writers bank that send songs to him. He did start with songs he knew but the writing your own songs and singing them was never encouraged then. Many country singers did that and were thought to be corny. That was the practice and when Elvis got famous, writers from all over the world wanted him to sing their song, because they became instant hits. Funny this one performance was actually a dress rehearsal for the satilite world performance which was for chartity , A Cancer fund. He went back and watch playback of this rehearsal footage and had his hair dresser cut an inch off his hair. Thanks, will you react to a song which is the audio studio recording, "Without Love" (there is nothing". So beautiful . I appreciate you

Best of the best no one come close even after 1000 years

Live to the whole world via satellite... Never before or since!!

Elvis wasn’t a songwriter, but he was an arranger. Not just any arranger, but one of the all time greatest song arrangers. The ultimate master of the music genres - Young and hip with a legendary EAR and PULSE for what young people were looking for. Songwriting WAS AN ART FORM back in that era, and songwriters came to Elvis to get him to arrange and perform their written creations.

This is My Video from My Channel - A 4K Render & Color Enhanced - YES Elvis always made the song his OWN!!! Love this Song!!! Thanks for the reaction

OMG, WOW, He doesn't sing about feelings. Elvis becomes the feeling!

The song is sadly quite tragic -- his woman left him and that turns his world upside down, "there's the sky where the sea should be", strips him of his heart and soul, destroys him to the point of suicide. "No one cares if I live or die, nothing left but my last good bye"... damn.

He did write a couple of songs but apparently Priscilla laughed at him for it and he wouldn't write any more. But he made the songs he sang absolutely live.

Elvis was a great aranger of his music he performed it his way he had the last call. And sang the song most better then others. A ultimate gift he presented two the world.

I love this song. It's so amazing that Elvis could sing for almost 2 hours straight at a concert and still hit those notes to perfection. Elvis was asked years ago, when he first started out, if he writes songs. Of course, Elvis being honest and humble said no he doesn't write but he wish he could like other entertainers.

Great reaction thank you. Yes once Elvis gets hold of a song, it becomes an Elvis song.

It has been well documented that many artists wrote songs specifically for Elvis to sing. It became a win/win for Elvis and the writer. But, once Elvis had the song, he did it his way. Elvis deserves the recognition as a composer, he knew exactly what do do with a song to turn it into a hit.

Thank goodness you've posted this. I thought you'd given up on playing Elvis!! He brings in the crowds on channels even now. This song is brilliant. His voice when it takes off is just typically wow!

Chills and tear filled eyes from start to finish. He could sing any song and make me feel like he wrote it. Thank you for reacting to this beautiful song and his magnificent performance.

First class reaction to a first class performer.

Although ELVIS was not a songwriter, he never just sang a song either. Previously you stated "Everything about the man screams music" and I agree. I think his early childhood exposure to the music around him invoked strong emotional feelings & a connection to music which continued to resonate internally throughout his life. Elvis had an intrinsic ability to hear a composition, zero in on the raw emotional energy it invoked and draw it all in. This was portrayed so well by Austin Butler in the movie ELVIS. (SEE CLIP BELOW) For those of us lucky enough to see Elvis perform live, on stage, the ELVIS magic was like he really did channel all that raw emotion in, only to release it on stage; a projection & transferrance of raw emotional energy that he drew in and poured out on stage so his audience could feel the emotion too. That's the magic or "something deep" within Elvis". His sincerity, desire & rare ability to emotionally connect with us all. ⏬️ watch⏬️ m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iq14jKRlvpnJhmQ.html#bottom-sheet

Legend has it that Elvis co-wrote two song with his bodyguard/friend Red West. Thats Someone You Never Forget, and You'll Be Gone.

I love that you're loving your Elvis adventure. You seem to enjoy his sense of humour so you should givethe song 'Fever' a listen. It's from this same concert and he is thoroughly enjoying himself. ❤ thank you, thank you very much 😊

He always said the songs he chose were not about his life ... but , oh my , many that he chose after his divorce were real tear-jerkers that expressed remorse for a broken relationship . I've always felt he didn't want to admit that he was genuinely hurt ... he was Elvis , for heaven's sake ! TCB forever !

Elvis was a master conveyor of emotions, he could reach deep into his soul and project that feeling into the lyrics, making them so believable and relatable to each and every one of us. Good job, by the way, I see that you understand the Elvis phenomenon now.

The job of a singer is to sing, he does not need to write the songs, just as a composer does not necessarily have to know how to sing. Can anyone imagine Leiber and Stoller singing Jailhouse rock?

All his songs are original they can not be duplicated in there interpretation and are unique and one of a kind.

Never ever another like him!!!!!!

No painter created the tree, but some painters can with a few brushstrokes meke us see the treeś soul. Elvis dit not create the songs, but he brought out their soul.

The voice no auto tones live.RIP Elvis,The G.O.A.T. ☝👍✌🕺🎸🎤⚡TCB TLC🕊❤🙏

Love your reactions to Elvis,this is the power of Elvis's vocals and his presence on stage ,he can make you believe everthing and feel everthing that he sang 🎉 brilliant 👏 thanks very much😊

My favorite song by Elvis

Elvis took songs and make them his own. His version is always different. And most of artists at that era did not. There were songwriters. Sadly today too many artists try to make good songs and fail. Best artists/songwriters lack usually not always good songs. Elvis has around 800 songs what u can react. It could not be possible if he would have been also songwriter. He of course influnce many of his songs was also making few of them but did not really write them.

So glad you played the rehearsal version of this beautiful song .His voice is like none other. Keep up the Elvis bug 😄😄

We Elvis fans know exactly what you are trying to say. ❤

Il s'agit à l'origine d'une chanson française intitulé "Et Maintenant" de Gilbert Bécaud, que je chantais à mes filles... Cette reprise d'Elvis est magnifique.

Brilliant reaction, one of my favourites covered by Elvis glad you liked it :))

Elvis Baby !

🌿🪻🌿🪻🌿🪻🌿🪻🌿🪻🌿🪻🌿 Thank You for reacting to my request Kings. You weren't wrong when you thought this song was about a lost love, either by a break-up or by death but more than that, it is also about a man contemplating Suicide, because he doesn't want to go on without the woman he loves. Elvis just seemed to be able to tap into the emotion and meaning of the songs he chose to sing and make you feel what he was feeling, It was his Super Power! Some of the songs he sang were written by writers and friends that knew him well and wrote songs specifically for him. ❤ When he sang this song, He and His Wife were going through a Divorce. I always get a chuckle out of the whoo.....at the end as well!, that was quite a final note 😄 ❤ !! I hope you never find a cure for your Elvis Bug 🐛 cause we ❤️ Love your Elvis reactions !! He Recorded almost 800 songs. By the way, you never finished your thought, about why the song wasn't about a Break-up as you had thought.....you left us hanging and never finished the sentence, just curious about what you were thinking.

You did a beautiful job on it. You "get" him. 👑 🎸

JUST RECENTLY DIVORCED, HE REPLACED HIS WEDDING RING WITH A BIG DIAMOND HORSESHOE RING 😢 I ALWAYS WONDER HOW DEEP THIS SONG WAS FOR HIM... MY HEART SINKS HEARING FOR MY OWN BREAK UP WITH MY FIRST THAT WAS FOR TEN YEARS. GOD BLESS HIM FOR MAKING US HEAR EVERY WORD IN HIS SONGS. NEVER ANOTHER WILL BE CLOSE TO HIM..🕊

What a song ,what a gorgeous man,he was so blessed ,and gave it all back to his fans.The best singer in the world , He's so loved through out the world still to this day .what a voice ❤.How cool you are covering Elvis he gives you goose bumps the notes he can reach ❤

ELVIS'S SHOWS WERE ALL SO GOOD!!!!!!!!

It’s true…Elvis never wrote any songs but he made them bigger after he sang them ❤️

I'm surprised that you did not remark on how he came in so strong with "what now my love" on the last chorus. Idk anyone else that can do that. Can you imagine the talent it takes to come out with a note like that w/o building up to it in a line of lyrics, he just explodes with it.

Elvis did some wonderful covers and had excellent writers. I believe certain songs brought memories back to him, but in between he had a heart in his soul that made him a great artist! One another note, Elvis sang over 600 song’s, you’ve barely turned the facet on. Dig deep you’ll find many heat-stringing songs and the depth of his vocals.

Its always firework with this men 🎉🎉 the end of this song its AMAZING. Nobody do this❤

He made Every song His! It was incredible that he was able to take any song, no matter who wrote it or who made it popular and make it sound as if he lived it, wrote it, and was the Only one who sang it. No one but Elvis could do that. I believe it was because he cared so deeply about the music and his fans.

Wooo at the end. He knew he reached that note and was proud of the outcome. Love that man.

Beautiful song, Gorgeous Man, Elvis is the whole package!! Love your reactions to Elvis!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤!

Other BIG NAME artists that never wrote their own songs -Dionne Warwick, Frank Sinatra, Rihanna, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston...

WOW WOW ELVIS❤❤❤❤🙏Greetings to all from Copenhagen ❤

This man makes us all feel his music in our souls ..he is an addiction to us all we become people who jist want to hear what he has to say singing or talking..I love watching you go thru this journey of his life and music your take on his performances are perfect..check out some of his blues I enjoy those songs alot

There's no doubt that Elvis had a great power to emote, perhaps more so than anyone. Understand completely what you're saying.

What a good song

His talent is his voice and performance Elvis said he never wrote a song but wouldn’t perform a song he didn’t believe in after singing if I can dream

I don’t want to overwhelm you but Elvis has over 700 songs in his catalog. So you better get ready for the rest of your journey. 😂😂❤❤ I’ll ✅✅your list and send a request with a link. You’ve played one of my requests already. I love your reactions especially to Elvis when you always smile. Thank you so very much. I love how authentic you are. God bless. 😊❤❤

Elvis did not write his music.. .. he just sang everything so beautifully.. he felt what he sang.

❤👑👑👑👑👑❤️

Elvis Rocks! TCB⚡️

Elvis is and always be The King! He is an Icon! You should check his song In the Ghetto. It will blow your mind! Love your reaction! ♥

So true he didn't write any song. He had writers he worked with.

Thanks for sharing! Although Elvis never wrote songs, most of his movie songs were written for his character in the script. Most of these were not very good. After getting out of his movie contracts, he said he would never perform a song he didn’t believe in again. I heard him say in an interview, he would sort through hundreds of songs, rehearse 20-30, before selecting the final 10-12 for his concerts, and recording.

One of my favorites!!

Fantastic!

👑✌️

Another great performance🤗❤️ Elvis sings with so much feeling and passion in his voice. Thank you for playing this version and for your insightful reaction😊

Elvis sang songs that resonated with him, some covers, others written for him (as was common among artists at that time), but he had to feel the song to perform it.While he did not write, Elvis knew the sound he wanted to create and was heavily involved in the arranging and production in the studio.

THE BEAT IS LIKE A HEART BEAT 💓 2💓 I believe he wrote ( love me tender) not 100% sure.... someone check.. thankfully yours❤

Elvis wrote, “Come Unto Me.”

Thanks for showing this, this was the rehearsal concert. After EP watched this back, he thought his hair was too long so he had it cut for the broadcast concert. It is so common for artists to sing songs they haven't written. Funny how everyone comments about Elvis, like he is the only one that ever did this 😂. Same thing with his medication use, he has been pilloried for that (and indeed it is only recently that his medical history of disease is being understood). How many other singers/actors have OD'd? It's like Elvis is held to a higher standard than every other artist. I think it's unfair and I'll never understand it.

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

It´s true, he never wrote any of his own songs BUT he have hade some songs written FOR him especially (if i can dream to just name one).

You really need to listen to the movie version of Elvis singing Mean Woman Blues. This was in a period of his career at a younger age where even though younger than the Aloha Hawaii concert you can see and hear the differences in his voice but still the passion and force he had and charisma when he sang any song. It was always like thru his career that each song he did with his style was like it was his own song.

Elvis is great fun isn't he Kings? Best wishes!!!

Makes sense… just like a great actor who didn’t write the script but interprets the story from deep within themselves. A writer once wrote that Elvis was the greatest interpreter of the American songbook. . I believe it.

tnks from brazil , remenber the king(try the line never been to spain alive )

Good song

He partly wrote all shook up...

BELLE REPRISE... et maintenant DE gilbert becaud 👑👑👑❤

ELVIS É SHOW❤

You are a beautiful person. Stay safe. ❤️

The original French version, "Et maintenant" (English: "And Now") was written in 1961 by composer Gilbert Bécaud and lyricist Pierre Delanoë - some of the singers who recorded this song were Jane Morgan, Shirley Bassey and Ben E. King. Any song that Elvis covered became his. This was the rehearsal show before the one which was aired 2 days later. Never stop getting chills every time I watch it. Suggestions: The water throwing incident from '72 Hampton Roads when at the very, very start of the video Elvis called out “Please Release Me” but the band began playing “I Can’t Stop Loving You” - he didn’t stop them, he went right into the song, he then walked over to his glass of water, picked it up & playfully threw it at Glen @ piano -- a real fun, energetic, powerhouse kzfaq.info/get/bejne/grSkg5h4yZ61d3k.html -- make sure you hear him say Please Release Me @ extreme beginning; also note the little irritated look on his face @ beginning. 2 from '68 stand-up segment: "Blue Suede Shoes" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d9FlfqiTzp6ykZc.html (the longer version from sitting to center stage w-his wonderful finish (2:50 min.). "Jailhouse Rock" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bp1-abSSlaqbe40.html (1:50 min.). This is Elvis unleashed doing what he did best in his 2-piece black leather. You could do both - one followed by the other since they total just 4 min. long. Btw, your voice is so low -- I have my volume all the way up. Thx.

You are awesome

This man is so funny and amazing,but I don’t think he was ever thinking of his wife leaving him. I think he was so unhappy.he loved her.Vonnie ❤❤❤❤❤

Your right he is sooo incredible wauuuu

There is a ghost behind you

. You are adorable

But he was a good singer and entertain

Check out elvis song reconsider baby blues song

i believe this is from the rehearsal show, which was opened to the public paying offcourse, my reason is after the show, elvis complained that he did not like his hair as it was eg the fringe. check the aloha version to see the diffrence
