This is so sad he passed not even 2 months later. There’s no one that can touch this man. He’s the King for a reason true professional until the end.

Seven weeks later he was with the Lord. He was very blessed with so many natural skills that no other single musician ever had.

He is a beautiful soul ❤ There's only one Elvis Presley ♥ Bless his soul ❤ God's gift 🎁 His heart ❤ was made of gold 💛. Absolutely a beautiful soul ❤

If you are hearing Elvis!!! You are hearing, the annointing of God!!!!!

The fact that he was not a well man,..He blew it out of the park. He struggled to talk,.. but when he started singing and playing,…it was like other worldly. God level performer. Long live the king. Beautiful reaction my friend.Thank you for reacting and confirming the greatest entertainer of the 20th century!!!!!

Elvis was a man for ALL people!

His body was failing him ,by having so many ailments ,but that fantastic man never lost his voice ,his sense of humor ,that beautiful smile ,he will never be forgotten

Part of me hates watching Elvis sing this song. It makes me sob every single time. And yet I watch it often because he sang it so beautifully and passionately. Many of the young are hitching onto the "Elvis train" for the views without truly understanding the power of this man's live performances and his vocal range. I'm so very glad for your heartfelt reactions. Everytime you're surprised by a performance it makes me smile.

The greatest voice in music history

As sick as he was he still had an amazing voice you'd never think that he was near the end of his life hearing him singing this so sad that he died just 2 months later on Aug 16 1977

I tear up every time I see this...😢. He was so sick...yet he sang so beautifully! His range was unbelievable! ❤🙏

This is the most eloquently spoken reaction to an Elvis video that I've seen so far, and I've seen a lot. Thank you for your appreciation of Elvis.

And he never had a guitar or piano lesson in his life. He died two months after this performance. He was and always will be the BEST of everything!!!

Pavarotti said Elvis could sing like him but he couldn't sing like Elvis!

You made me cry with this beautiful reaction to Elvis. You touched my heart, because I understand how you feel listening to this man. You really get him. His love of music, his love of the people around him that so expertly help him create these unforgettable moments. The joy of sharing his voice, the love he has for all people and especially his fans. Thank you so, so much.❤

Welcome to the world of Elvis. He does not disappoint! The more you listen to him the more you will love. He has his special touch on every song he performed.

You Just Heard The Greatest Singer, Entertainer, That Ever Walked This Planet ! Revolutionary Elvis ! ❤

Imagine the love that he had for his craft and his fans; imagine the sacrifice he made given his health status at the time. He was the greatest; he is still the greatest singer and performer of all times.

this was on June 21, 1977, I saw him on June 26, 1977 at his last concert in Indianapolis. He was so sick, but kept smiling and his voice was BEAUTIFUL!! At the end of the concert he was dripping with sweat, and so weak his bodyguards had to help him down the steps of the stage. A special person.

that smile at the end.. he was so happy and proud, his smile said "YES, I DID IT" ... He always gave everything in himself to all of us. I'm so thankful that we have these video's, not only will his voice and music live on but they also show us HIM.. the person, not just the entertainer

Wow. What a reaction. Thanks

Elvis didn't read "notes" he played by ear. He never had voice or guitar lessons either. Elvis had God-given talents but he worked hard in order to put them all together! He really wanted to sing in a Gospel Quartet but he couldn't harmonize at the time! God had a bigger roll for Elvis to play. He loved all kinds of music, but Gospel was always his favorite! Elvis would sing something Gospel at his Rock-N-Roll concerts!

Elvis gave 1000% even to the last concert that's why he's THE KING and still loved today by the young and old and every thing in between ❤❤❤

Elvis didn't write his music.. he just would sing a song like no one else. This makes me sad because Elvis was not looking good. He died a few weeks later.. His voice is iconic to this day.. Don't ever mess with Elvis Presley.. the King.

Elvis was the complete human being, the good, the bad and , rarely, the ugly. The devil is never far from all of us.

Thank you for all your wonderful Elvis reactions ❤ Sucha beautiful song. Elvis voice is out of this world. I'll say as The Sweet Inspirations did, he was an angel sent from God. And Charlie (Charlie Hodge) he met Elvis in the army. And lived at Graceland for 17 years until Elvis died 😢 Rest in peace Elvis. Always and forever The King ❤ 👑

The greatest entertainer of all times. This show was 6 weeks before he went to Heaven.

He treated everyone with respect ❤️

If you listen closely he says I'm going for it or I'm hitting it before the big note at end. I truly think he knew and he gave us all he had that last performance. 😢😢😢

I'm always a little sad when I see this great performance. This is from june 21 1977 and he died weeks later august 16 1977. He was sick and still able to pull that voice!

Nobody sings this song like him.

Roy Hamilton favorite singer of Elvis, recorder song.... unchained Melody. Melody of The song , is The film unchained. King Elvis recorder live song ..... Elvis The voice of God.... King of music....best singer on artist all times.... God bless You Elvis....The best forever ❤❤❤❤

Your lack of words said “everything!” ❤️

Knowing that less then 2 months later we lost him, his voice never left him even then. I watch this and I just want to hold him, to find the right words or actions to save him.. RIP Elvis

The stage is the place he was happy

Yes, you got it. Elvis music brings so much emotion in us (happiness and sadness all at once) this aired on TV after his death and I cry every time I see it because you can see he put his heart and soul in this song. RIP Elvis.

He was not well here but he never lost his voice! He died six weeks after this! ❤

Thank you for your heartfelt reaction to this beautiful and sad performance. He was so ill but his love for the music and his fans gave him the strength he needed until the end. He was and remains loved so much by his fans. Rest in Peace sweet man❤️

I love your reactions.. AND your laugh.. I enjoy so much watching other feeling the same enjoyment to Elvis and his music

Elvis was and IS THE BEST SINGER ON THE PLANET! HIS VOICE IS Straight from Heavenly Father to us. We were blessed !!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

A sick Elvis has way more power in his voice than the artist of today.

I agree that it's better to watch Elvis perform, rather than just listen to him. I mean, I could just listen to audio of Elvis 24/7, but I agree that the two come as a package, and it's a beautiful thing to watch him perform. You just can't seem to take your eyes off him. I enjoy the reactions more when I can actually watch Elvis with the person reacting to him, if that makes any sense. 😊

He's the King, that's all

It was the righteous Brothers, Elvis could sing anyone's song and they loved it

It was done by the the Righteous Brothers and very well. But Elvis put his own stamp on every song he done. When you are a true fan of Elvis you know he does it his way and the rest is History. He makes it is own.

I cry every time i watch this! Elvis gave everything he had for his fans until the end! Being that ill and delivering a performance like that is just amazing! Rest easy dear Elvis! ❤

Thank you for this. He was home with the Lord 7 weeks later. He was singing his goodbye. He was so ill and in so much pain. He sung this faster so he could manage to sing it. He could barely speak, but when he had to sing, he soared. Yes, he played the piano all the time, even at home. However he managed to sing this, I don't know. He could barely breathe 😢😢

This is one of those 'classic' songs that dozens of singers, all over the world, have recorded. As others have said he was very ill here and could barely breathe and yet he gives that magnificent performance. BTW he played piano, guitar, bass guitar and drums. Check out basically any song from the '68 special. Loved your reaction. ❤

He is not the original artist, but everything he touches goes gold.

WowGod, sprinkled him.. till the very end!!!

Here comes the tears. I cannot watch this without crying.My ❤ breaks to know this beautiful man would leave us in less than 2 months.😢😢😢😢

Your reaction is priceless. Elvis was wonderful. So amazing. I still miss him.

Perfect reaction. The smile when Elvis smiled. Pulling back from the mic when Elvis hit his big notes. The silence afterward. The love of music and the effect when a genius touches it. Chef's kiss.

Yup, Elvis was the GOAT. And right to the end, just 6 weeks before he died, this performance proves it. His voice got better and better with age, almost operatic at this stage. When he did a song, he showed the audience the true potential of the song and how it should be sung, making all others who did the song before him look like amateurs even the original performers of the songs. That's what you felt and made you speechless. Great reaction.👍🏻

He gave us everything he had for as long as he could....❤❤❤❤

I'm crying buckets as I find this a very difficult watch knowing that he was so ill and would be dead in a couple of months. He knocks it out of the park!! ❤

There are so many beautiful renditions of this song, but Elvis' performance, for me at least, is by far my favorite. It's his stage presence, his incredible voice, and his passion for every song he sings. You can see the emotion on his face, in his eyes. You can almost see him trembling while performing. Not only in this performance, but in may others too. His love for music was, and still is, unparalleled. He will always be the King. I know he hated being called that, but there is no mistake about that title given to him. It always tears at my heart to watch his performances from 1977, knowing that he would no longer be here with us, but at the same time, watching him perform brings me so much joy. I cry every time I watch this powerful performance, so forgive me if there are any typos, it's kinda difficult to see through the tears. Thank you for helping to keep the memory of this beautiful man alive. Great reaction. Take care. ❤ ps : I went back and fixed my typos before posting this.. lol.

He was a very , very special man ... TCB forever !

He was so tired and so sick but his voice never failed him! A few weeks he left us for a better place! We will always miss him and ❤️ 😍 💖 love him!! Thank you for what you are doing!

I have to admit, it is a thrill for me to watch you discover Elvis. I was alive when Elvis was alive. I was buying his records and learning all his songs. I guess I take it for granted sometimes that this was a man who walked among us but whose talents were just unbelievably amazing. His tone, his tempo, his style, and his power vocally, is just, awe inspiring. Elvis never wrote any of his songs, so, yes, this was a Righteous Brothers song which Elvis covered and once again just knocked it out of the park. And to think, this man only had 7 weeks left to live when he PERFORMED THIS! He truly was otherworldly!

I cry every time I see that video. It's just so emotional how he leaves his all for the song. I'm glad you felt it too!

This felt like he was singing to his God .

Thank you for giving such kind respect to Elvis ♥️ He was like no other! His band were family, some were with him since his teens. You should look at old documentaries of Elvis. He was also known for his humanitarian generosity. He had a world wide impact and was just pure love deepdown in his bones.

Elvis was very sick, and died 3 months after this concert :( I still cry.

The extreme physical pain this man was in during this time in his life is unfathomable. I just read a book called destined to die Young were the author did extensive research of his medical records, family history, and she laid out everything that is known thus far. He was battling leukemia of the bone marrow at this time and was in active stage of heart failure during this performance, which to me, makes me love this performance even more as morbid as that sounds. You’re watching a man dig deep to give his fans everything. Elvis Presley was the strongest man and it motivates me to endure anything that is painful, emotionally and physically, he’s an inspiration. This is a moment in history that should always be cherished. PS Charlie Hodge is the fucking man!!

Love your joy and wisdom in your reactions.

I watch and listen to this about 624 times so far.

Beautiful reaction!!❤ even when he was not well, he gave his all. You just feel his heart and soul in every song

You get!! That's great!! He was THE GREATEST ENTERTAINER AND GREATEST HUMANITARIAN OF ALL TIME!! RIP ELVIS

Yep

I had heard Elvis, but never really listened to Elvis until I watched the new movie last year. I feel like you're following the same progression of emotions I felt when I started realizing how incredible he really was. You're absolutely in for a great ride. You haven't even scratched the surface. Enjoy, and we'll enjoy right along with you!

This video breaks my heart. You can hear him breathing so hard barely able to talk and yet he did this.

I enjoy both Elvis's and Righteous Brothers' renditions equally, I consider them to be completely different songs. Elvis's version sounds so emotional with a deep sad longing feeling, the Righteous Brothers' version feels like a hopeful reunion.

I love your reactions to Elvis and I totally agree about how much he loved his music. I don’t focus on any issues or any imperfect things that were going on like some do (especially at the time) because his voice was so perfect, so whatever else was going on is by the wayside now and should be forgotten, because his voice and love for his music always makes up for everything. His voice was the greatest thing that blocks out everything else because all that counts now is his voice. He was an amazing man in all ways. Some of your reactions that I see of Elvis was beautiful and his music is what should be remembered. instead of focusing on his imperfections, it should be focused on his perfection, which was his music and his voice so I love what you said, and that’s what counts, and that’s what he would want to count is his voice and his music, not anything else that anyone can point out. His voice and his contribution to music is the thing that will always be remembered. Thank you for your reaction This is one thing that he would always want to be remembered, and hopefully someday will be what it is remembered the most. Also, the fact that people are still talking about him this. many years after he has died, is an amazing accomplishment among all of his others.

Jane H commenting …. I always cry my way through this, knowing he was so very sick, so short of breath with such an enlarged heart, & several other serious medical issues, & he passed just 8 weeks later. But Elvis was a very spiritual man with a great faith in Jesus & God, & I believe that is where he found the strength to do such a stunning performance. His performance of How Great Thou Art in this same concert is also incredible. The man holding the microphone is the Late Charlie Hodge, who as well as playing guitar & harmonising with Elvis, & being his right hand man on stage, was one of Elvis’ closest friends & had been with Elvis for most of his career. Elvis & Charlie loved one another as old friends, & Charlie was one of the few people that Elvis actually trusted. Watching Elvis struggling to breath before sitting down at the piano, must have broken Charlie’s heart, & after Elvis’ death, Charlie made it his mission to travel all over America & Europe, to tell the true story about Elvis, as so many lies were being told by his former bodyguards & so-called friends … his bodyguards were also his friends, or should I say he considered them to be, but most proved otherwise. Once their meal ticket was gone, they were out there selling their half-truths & outright lies to the highest bidder. Thank you for a wonderful reaction.

Wonderful reaction! ELVIS never lost his voice! It‘s so sad 6 weeks later he past away, but his beautiful music lives on forever! Thank you!

You’re speechless lol that’s what you call passion, singing from your soul.

What an honest reaction.When I was a kid my aunts and uncles all loved elvis along with almost everyone else from that generation.Tgis song and video made me realize why he was loved so much.the performance and emotion.i was in tears at the the whole spectacle.

No one sings it like this he was sick here no one like Elvis ❤❤❤

Im blessed to watch his video's and listen to his music .,thanks for loving elvis your expression is amazing ❤

I just rediscovered Elvis ever since that movie came out. I had so little knowledge of how great he really was. I've watched so many videos of him and I'm amazed I never had any interest. My dad actually got to meet him and got his autograph. I lived in Vegas for over forty years and my dad worked at the Sahara hotel and the International where Elvis sang. I was a fan of the Beatles back then tho lol. There's so many great videos out there of Elvis. I love his humor along with his great singing. Your reactions to him are so good cause you get him. I can't wait for more from you

He was so sick, many have referred to the "Elvis Presley Destined to Die Young" book by Sally Hoedel. She shows the real problems he had all his life resulting from his mother parents who were first cousins. Back in the old south it was often done, but late people found that it really caused inbreeding problems. Elvis combination of genes was not normal. He was an Alpha 1 Gene which is rare but some do inherit it. His mother died at 46, and her two brothers were also in their 40's when they died. She had liver disease, and heart problems and weight issues. Elvis was born with a twisted colon, in 1935 and seldom got medical care, they were dirt poor. He had Liver disease, and an enlarged heart. He had early onset Glaucoma when he first started in Vegas. He actually had eye surgery to save one eye. It went largely un noticed by the public. When he runs off state in the tour vids he has someone on each arm leading him off the stage. The bloating was part of the liver disease, the book even states that had he never taken a pill he still would have died young. He told singer Katy Westmoreland he'd be died by 40. Anyway for a little perspective on why he looked so different, but sang like an angel. Thank you for your gracious reaction.

I am so grateful for these reaction videos. Ive been an Elvis fan for nearly 50 years and it has been painful to see the prejudices and false accusations blemishing his image and legacy. He was a beautiful person that brought so much joy to millions during his lifetime. And because he was so far beyond any other performer, before or after, people of today cant even fathom the talent, the charm, the charisma, that he had. These reaction videos, I believe, expose a whole new generation or 2, to the real deal...Not just the pop culture caricatures

Elvis did the cover. ❤

初めまして、私はElvisが大好きな日本人の男です。翻訳して上手く伝わるかわからないけどコメント書きます。 私はこの動画を何回観ても感動して泣いてました。そして今回あなたも感動してたのがよくわかった。Elvisの凄さを他の人と共有できた感じがしてとても嬉しかった。 この時Elvisはとても体調が悪くていくつも薬を飲んでコンサートをしてました。そんな苦境の中で最後にこの曲を歌ってます。ブラックミュージックを愛しロックを築き日本も愛してくれた男の魂の叫びです。泣かないはずがないですよね。 Elvisはみんなの心に生き続けてます。他にもたくさんElvisの歌を聴いてください。

I love you and your reaction to Elvis!! Having seen him 3 times you get the feelings and emotions from the audience!! I can still tear up hearing him sing, his gospel album and songs are outstanding!

Elvis Presley Was Well Known In Pop Rock Country And Gospel His Voice Is Amazing

The essence of Elvis is probably gospel music. He often transforms songs into a gospel-tinged sound. Here, his arpeggios on the piano, the big voice, and the passion and care to communicate feelings, suggest he was again going beyond just the surface meaning of a pop song.

This is exactly why his fans will always be fans..he is a legend absolutely no one will ever come close to his talent and personal touch to all genres of music ..enjoy your journey with him and his music..you should react to some of his gospel which is where his voice will make your cry

I write this with tears rolling down my face. Your reaction was beautiful. He was singing it quickly here because he so much wanted to be able to do it. He was in so much pain and that man still got on that stage and performed. The words 'I'll be coming home wait for me" .. he was home with the Lord 6 weeks later. You are wonderful, thank you so much. He had a piano in his home and would spend evenings playing it & singing xx

What a man ❤ What a voice What a master of musical arrangement. Such a passion and love for music and his fans. There will never be another like him. He poured every ounce of himself into this performance and took it to another stratosphere. That last " I neeeeeeeeeeeed your love" ❤ Wow wow wow wow! 👌 I love that you 'get' him. Blessed is definitely the best way to describe how it feels to hear him sing. I am really enjoying your reactions. Thank you 😊

He has blessed us all with his music …and his voice and himself that’s his true legacy

Elvis died 7 weeks after this was recorded. The tv special was not aired till after his death. It is very hard for the fans from that time to watch this performance. When ever I see a picture of him dressed in the Mexican Dial jumpsuit it gives me a sad vibe.

You are such a beautiful spirit, and I am so glad that you get why Elvis was and is such an historical figure. As it's true, because he was white, he was the first major rock n roll star. But, too, you can learn, that he went through hell because of that and received death threats and all other type of deterrents yet fought on. But I believe you would now agree, that it wasn't because he was the world's first superstar that he is remembered, but it's because of performances like this. Honestly, too, I love seeing your heart and enjoyment and happiness after watching a performance, I wish we were best friends!!! When, truthfully, I guess with the internet bringing us all together we could be. As after watching you now, several times, I want to say - honestly - I totally love you as a fellow human being. God bless you, my friend! ~ Christopher Tyler

despite being incredibly ill and only 8 weeks from dying elvis always showed up and delivered for his fans giving love and sharing his heart to the very end a man who truly lived his entire life in service of others people like elvis only come down the road **once** an incredible man & an amazing humanitarian that's why 46 yrs after his death his legacy of music and love from his fans live on ♡ thank you :) pls give "just pretend" live in vegas 1970 a look 🙏

Gotta love how this left this man totally speechless, don't know what to say following the song❤❤

"Pure Beautiful" Perfect reaction!

“All you can do is watch this man and be in awe.” Beautifully stated. He really almost takes your breath away, whether you expect him to or not. He manages to do it every time.

I like your comment: "I feel blessed" ;I also feel blessed to be experiencing Elvis Presleyat this time of my life, in a far away country.

The KING!!!
