I am a big Elvis fan but when he said that he was actually saying it to a fan in the audience. I thought it was cruel, not to mention that it ruined a beautiful song "Are You Lonesome Tonight". That fan might have come from the other side of the world to hear him sing, and he gets insulted? I think when Elvis fans paid to see Elvis, they wanted to hear him sing from the bottom of his heart, not to ruin a beautiful song like that. I guess he was high when he did it.

@@saphireblue3563 Elvis was always cutting up and changing lyrics to get a rise out of the crowd. It was part of his shows. He said in an interview that he fed off of the crowds and knew when to turn it up. His concerts were meant to be entertaining and not taken serious like other acts. He said in 1956 that "people wanna be entertained and not hear a song as it sounds on record. If that were the case they could just stay at home and put the record on and save their money".

@@mikem957 Well I will always love Elvis but I think he was wrong about that. I think the first reason fans loved Elvis was that he sang with such deep feeling, way down deep in his soul. I know if I had paid good money to see him, I would have been sorely disappointed when he ruined beautiful songs by laughing in the middle of them, etc especially if you were looking forward to hearing him sing something beautiful like "Are You Lonesome Tonight" and he trashed it like that. No one was going to see a comedian. They were going to see the greatest singer in the world. That is just my feeling.

Very rare to see Elvis sitting down. Lol He needed to rest. He had so much charisma and he loved his fans! I subbed, and gonna request couple songs to see different sides of him. Suspicious Minds 1970 live in Vegas 68 Comeback Special in black leather sitting down Heartbreak Hotel/Trying to Get to You & in white suit If I can Dream 1972 Bridge over Trouble Water & How Great Thou Art I Washed My Hands in Muddy Water. Elvis's first love was gospel and rhythm & blues. He grew up very poor & when he got his break he bought his parents Graceland. He was very humble and a generous heart that never forget where he came from. Suggest short documentary Elvis...King of Kindness or A Generous Heart only 14 min...A lot of his generosity was never recognized. Thank u...TCB ⚡👑🌹

We had live teen bands that played in different town halls. Every Friday and Saturday night we would get dressed up to go dancing. My daughter loves salsa and used to dance to it , but the passion we had back then isn't present in the same way. I enjoyed your reaction.

Elvis was the most gorgeous man that ever walked the planet. He was born in a 1 room shack of a house his dad built with money he borrowed from his boss on January 8, 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi. That's how dirt poor they were. He was one half of identical twins; the other boy - Jesse Garon - was stillborn. They were so poor, that Jesse Garon was buried in a shoebox in an unmarked grave. At Graceland they have a plaque with his name on it in his memory. He always got along with the black community and learned a lot about music from his friends of color. Also, according to the one drop rule, Elvis would not be considered white, since he has Cherokee ancestors on both the Smith (his mother) and the Presley (his father) sides of the family. His paternal grandfather was not happy that his two sons, Elvis' father Vernon and his brother Vester, married two sisters, Gladys and Clettes who were known to have Cherokee blood in their family tree. But he was in denial about the Cherokee blood in his own family tree. As a child, Elvis already had many friends in the black community at the time his family was one of 4 "white" families that lived in the predominantly black neighborhood The Hill, just across from Shake Rag. His childhood friend Sam Bell said that some of the (black) kids in that neighborhood had lighter skin than Elvis (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gth2dtx_sty-h58.html). One of Elvis' bodyguards once said that he thought it was a miracle Elvis got into Humes High School in Memphis, because it was "lily white". Elvis wanted to be more open about his Native ancestry, but his manager "colonel" Tom Parker (real name Andreas van Kuijk) was against it because he was afraid it might cost Elvis fans (and himself money). They did have Elvis play characters in his movies though where he had Native American blood (Flaming Star, G.I. Blues, Stay Away Joe). Once Elvis had his own (apprentice) job learning to be an electrician, he saved up his money and bought his clothes in the same style that many of his friends of color wore. He was called a (forgive me, just stating facts here) "n-lover" and got beaten up several times too. Later, when he was an established star, he would not perform at places where the members of color of his back-up band/orchestra weren't allowed.

Speaking as an old musician, they didn’t work months or years to get the songs down, they didn’t have the luxury of that kind of time. They had to learn fast. They were just that good.

The male background singers are J.D. Sumner and The Stamps. J.D. is the one with the low voice you can hear throughout the songs. If I remember correctly he was at one point in the Guiness Book of World records for having the lowest voice. We went to see them in concert once and we sat toward the back.... his voice was so low the seats were vibrating at times. Very down to Earth man.

Elvis was a true musical genius. No matter the song, and he gets knocked for doing covers (as if people don't sing covers today) but Elvis could get more out of any song he sang than OG artist. After Paul Simon heard Elvis ' sing Bridge Over Troubled Water, he literally said he wouldn't sing again because Elvis had taken Simon's song to another level not even Simon ever conceived and Elvis was less about lyrics and more about producing and arrangement. He would not stop recording until he got the sound right. That man operated on a level no one else could and his voice is so unique that professional vocalists and musician literally put him in own category of singing. In fact, Elvis was so much about sound that he would purposefully sing off key and to him, music was limitless. Elvis could actually go from big Gospel to a soft ballad, an operatic style, and yodel. Elvis means more to music than people realize because he influenced the biggest names in music and created how every artist now performs.

Amen! Even MJ copied some his moves, like going up on his toes. No other singer was moving on stage. They all stood still, even groups. Imo, having back up dancers also came from him. Once he danced then others did, and of course had to keep building on the performance. He may not have written, but noone was at that time. Songs were written by the likes of Mel Torme, Burt Bacharach and Carol King. Many do write today, but Jlo, Celine and Beyonce dont write their own stuff. We have Sia, LP and multiple 'ghost writers' for that, and it doesnt mean theyre less talented... some are writers, singers, musicians. Its also said that Elvis cant be auto tuned. He had 'almost' perfect pitch and could sing 3 1/2 octaves in one note. If a note is off key then Autotune picks the next best one. Autotuning Elvis would make it sound off key. Elvis was a natural producer. He didnt write but he rearranged it to suit his style and in my opinion, he made it better. He had the perfect tone and buttery smooth transition between hooks. I might be wrong, but i think he was the first to 'sample' or aka mash up songs, too. He was just endlessly talented and sometimes all i can do is ache. ❤️‍🩹🕺👑❤️‍🔥

@@karencarlos3942 Everyone who makes music or made it after Elvis, has felt the influence of Elvis Presley despite them not knowing, realizing it, or denying it. Yes, I feel he should get credit for back up dancers because of Jailhouse Rock. The titular song number was choreographed by Elvis and the first use of back up dancers (to my knowledge) is the first music video even though that's not what Elvis was doing but that's such a great example and beautiful metaphor for the genius of Elvis. Elvis was doing things no one was doing at the time. He was so far ahead of his times, I argue that Elvis is still ahead of the times & just waiting for us to realize it, so things like Jailhouse Rock laying out a formula, aesthetic, and concept of telling the story of the song with artist and back up dancers all dancing to the song on a set including actors & props telling the song's story is a music video. Elvis just used what he had at the time so it was a scene in a movie but to this day.... that's studied as the first and one of the best. Elvis' skill was on a level that no one else could comprehend.

To get a real feel for the power of his voice, listen to If I Can Dream. This was Elvis goofing around, which gives you one part of his personality, but other songs will tell you how he could pull you in vocally. In The Ghetto, Suspicious Minds. His love songs are a whole other thing❤❤
