Another great Elvis reaction, keep it up.

He didn't move much because they wern't allowed to film him from the waist down. He was considered vulgar back in his time. I love Elvis, thank you for this reaction.

Also i want to point out to you that after a few live tv performances were deemed to be vulgar and indecent for the time, Elvis was told to tone it down and they began filming him from above the waist only. Thats how strict it was back then, and why Elvis seemed reserved and calmer in this one.

Elvis is and will always be the coolest...no one comes close to him. Love your reactions..

This was on the Ed Sullivan Show which he appeared several times. This particular one as you saw he was shown from the waste up because of his "wiggling" watch more from This time period.. He had so much talent and love for his fans.. I don't remember a time when I wasn't an Elvis fan.. Also from his movie King Creole which was filmed on Location in New Orleans before he did his time in the Army, look up Crawfish and Trouble. Thanks from all us Elvis fans for helping to keep his legacy going.

Elvis sings like man. No falsetto, no tricks, no auto tune.... just a natural smooth baritone. One of the all time greats for sure.

Best young Elvis dance performance is hound dog on the Milton Berle show. Love your reactions and thanks for keeping Elvis alive.

It's a joy to watch your reactions. You're a sincere young man. Thank you.

So happy to see you becoming an Elvis fan

Hi Pzo... discovered your channel today. I've subbed because it's Elvis! 🎸 This man is phenomenal, and is still loved worldwide. More Elvis please! 🌍🇿🇦

Love your reaction on Elvis! Thank you for going down the Elvis rabbit hole you only have about 800 songs to go!! 🐇😂🎶

The censorship at that time was very strict; therefore, Elvis could not move like he wanted to. He was prohibited to move below the waist. If you notice, this video is above the waist (to ensure) that Elvis would adhere to the restrictions. He still managed to inject his personality into the performance. Things were different then. This is way before my to time, but I know that in my time there were remnants of that era. Elvis was instrumental in changing things, in his time. He was a trailblazer. New artists owe a debt to Elvis.

The amazing thing about it is there was no auto turning back then. His voice was perfect. As a matter of fact because of the way his voice landed on the "note scale" his voice could not be auto tuned. If anyone tried it would end up being distorted. Look up youtuber " pegasus"...

I really enjoy that a young person can enjoy something from the past. And who doesn’t enjoy Elvis

Thankyou for loving our Elvis Now he's yours too.. Such a handsome fella. Sigh!

Elvis died when I was 8 yrs old. I cried for days, his death was my 1st heartbreak 💔

Just wanted to say that Elvis appeared 6 times on the Dorsey Bros stage show from Jan 1956-March 1956, then twice in June on The Milton Berle show, once on Steve Allen’s show and on Ed Sullivan in Sept. and Oct 56. He sang several songs on each of these performances. I think on the Jan. 57 show he sang 4 or 5 songs. My favorite is his Oct 56 performance of Hound Dog on the Ed Sullivan show, because he was such a tease, and showed his sense of humor while driving the females nuts.

There’s the 50’s, 60’s, & 70’s Elvis. So many unique songs and ways of singing as he matured. If you haven’t done Bridge Over Troubled Water live 1070, it’s phenomenal & though I e heard it covered by many people, once you’ve heard Elvis sing a song, it usually becomes your favorite. A really powerful song that grows in power is Tomorrow Never Comes ( not done live but a terrific song) to react to. Thanks for doing Elvis & you’re an enjoyable young man. God bless. 😊❤❤❤

Right at the end of the video you can see Elvis the moment he realised he was only being shot from the waist up. You can see the mischievous look on his face just before he breaks loose in the last few seconds of his performance.

On this one he was already in trouble and threats to arrest him and even death threats were everywhere. Host Ed Sullivan (the most important TV host of the century and ever) gave Elvis the ultimate break but nationwide anger was penetrating even this show. Sullivan said he had to chill out the dance moves and he did until the end. But the cast was set. Elvis was a huge hit on every Ed Sullivan show appearance. Add in Hound Dog and even a Christian gospel number and Elvis was the most popular singer in US history just like that. Ed Sullivan was more powerful than even todays internet as some 80% of US homes watched that show. That’s insane power.

The lyrics are lovely. Elvis made so many great love songs to vibe with with your lady/man. If they don't like Elvis though, they're not The One. :P

One thing about Elvis,you can never take your eyes off him,you never know what he is going to do

He was born in 1935 so he is 22 in this video. Such a handsome man. Compare his looks to his background singers. They are okay but, he is So freaking cute that females totally melted around him.

Wow love your reaction. More Elvis please 💕💕💕💕

I'm really enjoying your reaction videos and that you are so passionate and appreciate Elvis' performances. It's nice to go on this journey with you that brings back so many memories for me. I look forward to receiving more of them. Thank you for sharing. 💖

I have watched a couple of your reaction videos to Elvis and I am really impressed with the fact that you are very open to things outside of what your generation knows. Elvis was my mother's time so I grew up loving him because of her, but I'm happy to see how you understand his humor, changes of tempo, tone, dance moves and the way he interacted with the audience. I think it shows that even though you are young you are very intelligent and understanding in a much deeper old soul kinda way. Keep it up!

When Elvis sings he feels every second of it but the really amazing thing is his fans ( me for one ) I feel it deep down in my soul and my heart beats faster than it should I feel my heart beat in my throat and deep down in my stomach and my legs get super weak !! That is when you know you just heard the best there is on the planet !! Even at 70 years old it still happens to me. I LOVE ELVIS !!

Fantastic reaction. This is so fun. I think there's one from the same show where he does hound dog and while it was the Milton Berle show a few months earlier which is also on KZfaq in black and white, that's the one where he slowed it down to half time without even giving his band any notice and just made everybody go crazy, that resulted in them largely not letting him show his dance moves a few months later when he started appearing on The Ed Sullivan show, as in this performance. But still his hound dog on this is great because you get to hear him come out on stage and he's got about 30 seconds of audience interaction before they started and then about the same afterwards and it just gives you a great insight into his stage persona as well as really, his character.

You really need to watch the ELVIS movie! It’s fantastic and you’ll learn so much about him!

Love Elvis always

Check out Hound Dog on the Milton Berle show where he was allowed to dance around. He improvised a special ending that he never did before. His chat with Milton is great too😊

He was a mover back then love his younger years

Nobody had ever seen anything like Elvis before. ⚡

One of his besr in the 50s was from his favorite move "King Creole". If you will review King Creole and Craw Fish, you will see his incredible range and acting abilities

You still need to see his Jailhouse Rock, You Aint Nothing But A Hound dog, And Teddy Bear

Loved the fact that you tried to listen but just had to keep stopping to comment because you were so impressed. Elvis is amazing.

To get a real feel, a REAL feel for his magic check out his live "Love Me Tender". He reaches into the audience and kisses the girls. They offer him their handkerchiefs so he pat his face and hand it back to them. Even the men come forward. Being fabulous was just comfortable and natural to him.

yaaay more elvis thank you for reacting

I forgot how beautiful he was inside and out.

FIRE!! 🔥🔥🔥

I loved all of Elvis’ recordings, but always had a special place in my heart for these early performances. Thank you so much for your great reaction. Great channel. 👏👏🇨🇦🇨🇦

Good to see that level of appreciation , for everything.

#PzoMalone check out the video "Elvis & the Black community" you'll be blown away & you'll have your heart touched. You're going to love it !

Ed Sullivan (the show's host) was a real one. He was from Harlem and grew up during the Harlem Renaissance surrounded by Black excellence. He had a lot of Black performers on his show compared to other 40s, 50s, and 60s variety shows. And he also had rock 'n roll on his show, which a lot of people weren't down with because it was considered to be part of Black culture, which a lot of people hated.

when this record first came out a lot of people did not realize that the bobbing sound from the background singers was people and not some instrument.

#PzoMalone Fun fact about this video .... notice they don't show anything below the waist. That is because the 1st time he was on this show, he "shook his hips" and people went crazy about over it.

The man had charisma to the heavens, looks of a Hollywood leading man and a great voice.....such a shame him later years were so messed up by Colonel Parker

How can you not love this man.. truly.. he felt his music.. that's what makes a great artist.

Little did Elvis know then his life was going to be one hell of a ride

I love your reactions!! Elvis is my favorite, and I was blessed to be able to see him in person in 1973!

1957 is when Elvis changed everything for the younger generation. If you have time check out the type of music before him Perry Como- Frank Sinatra & Bing Crosby. Then along came Elvis hips moving and the fast beat music was all new and the teenagers loved it

You should have done Hound Dog on the Milton Berle show first. That is his first national TV appearance and the one that almost got him barred from tv for his "vulgar" performance lol You notice this one is only filmed from the waist up, that is why. It came after Hound Dog on Milton Berle. So, it's unfortunate you can't see his moves in this one. I won't leave any more recommendations here because I've left quite a few in my other comments already trying to help you out with a good order to watch these in :)

What a sweet young man you are. Thanks for featuring Elvis. His youth was his best years. And he was sweet and humble like you.

I love your reactions to Elvis , welcome to our world of fandom 🎉❤ Elvis was and is unique for many different reasons , I hope you continue the adventure

He's got great moves in jailhouse rock from the movie jailhouse rock.

Oh my god , Elvis Presley is the only one in hundred years happened, he was the one who got everything in top of the world. Thank you to brought Elvis Presley alive . His music would be alive for ever 👍👍👍👍👍

Great reaction to a muted and non below the waist Elvis as Ed Sullivan ruled the waves on TV back then. One performance people ignore but was the first I saw of him is 'Let Me ' a totally different type of song from him, taken from the Love Me Tender film in1956 where he really moves.

Beautiful voice, no other than like Elvis Presley!!

Elvis made me blush ☺

Dude! You have to react to JAILHOUSE ROCK. It's from his early movie days. It's awesome.

They basically censored it because he moved too much from his waist down and they thought it was lewd and way too sexy, it just wasn't something you would put on TV so that's why they censored it and only allowed him to be shot from the waist up. Didn't make any difference everybody knew what was happening from the waist down LOL

Elvis le plus grand artiste de tous les temps.

The Ed Sullivan Oct 1956 show, Elvis whole body was filmed. I guess Sullivan, got nasty letters because in Jan.57, it was back to the waist up Elvis. Sexual things were not on TV back then, but Elvis changed the culture, clothing, hairstyles and music and things began to change.

Hi, pzo. Dropped in to here a fun song and a fresh reaction! I was not disappoiinted. Hard to believe he had a twin brother and was a red head. Fabulous performer.

Back at this time Elvis was banned from being filmed lower than his chest. They thought that the way he moved was too much for television, and people tried to ban him from singing and performing.

Check it out, I was 3 years and 4 months old when this was recorded. This is one of my favorite Elvis songs, I will turn 70 this year and I have never seen this video before. Thank you for turning me on to this treasure. Even I am being exposed to music from my era that I haven't experienced before.

He was warned not to do any vulgar moves on TV. So he was reluctant but did the best he could.

From the release of " Heartbreak Hotel " in 1956, Elvis was top of the Billboard Hot 100 for 56 out of the next 104 weeks ... In the UK, he's had 21 No.1 hits in our charts with an astounding 76 that made the top 10 ! I sometimes think that Americans don't always appreciate the global influence this man had ...

Elvis was censored from the waist down on television back then, he had to much hip movement🙄 he was nicknamed "Elvis the pelvis", lol. The fifties was a whole different world. A lifetime ago. Loved your reaction ☺️

His pre 1968 comeback performances are the best. Watch his Ed Sullivan performance of "Hound Dog" for full Elvis butt kicking mind blowing experience!

This man has sold over a Billion records...to this day..

I love to see your reaction to this. You are so cool listening to this

As others have said, when he was on national TV, they only showed him from the waist up because of his gyrations. They used to call him Elvis the Pelvis! It was considered not appropriate for television. You’ve got to react to Jailhouse Rock if you want to watch him move! You won’t be disappointed!

King!👑⚡️

Elvis was revolutionary because he used to move on stage. Elvis could dance and swing his ass. Elvis was the first singer you needed to watch sing. All the others before him just stood still and sang their song. Elvis had the moves and he moved. People thought he was vulgar, indecent and too sexy. Elvis moving on stage was a huge scandal and very very controversial. Parents didnt want their daughters to see Elvis. TV networks censored him and would only show him from the waist up in case he swung his hips. In Florida, the police chief came to elvis before his show and told him he would be arrested and thrown in jail if he moved even a finger on stage. So Elvis did his show on stage, didnt move, and held up his hand and moved his little finger to the beat.

One of my favorite songs from Elvis 💎💎💎💜💥

Also fuaght with mom my between her love for Elvis and mine for Jim Morrison. Now being 58 years old.. He was the king. You were right mom.. Love and miss you

Listen to young and beautiful..elvis love song....talent

You’ve got to watch One Night With You... Elvis sings in his 79’s Come back Tour! All dressed in black!!! Everything he sings he wonderful! So happy to see you enjoying it so much🤗💞

21 year old Elvis, 2 days before his birthday. Was only allowed on Sullivan show this time because he wasn't suppose to move lower body, he was banned from it. He couldn't help it. It was in his soul.😊

Elvis is “One of a Kind”

Elvis was sneaky at the last 30 sevonds& got some movements in. Love it. Love him

Great reaction. 😎 Censored from the waist down, thus the hand movements. For more young Elvis I recommend Hound Dog of June 5, 1956 on The Milton Berle Show (live version). Also, If I may, Ready Teddy on the Ed Sullivan Show is also a great performance.

If you want to see Elvis tear it up in the 50's check out "Blue Suede shoes" on Ed Sullivan or Milton Berle. Another enjoyable reaction.

Please remember this is when TV and any live shows he was doing were highly censored, they repeatedly warned him not to move like he normally does or they wouldn't have him on their shows. Many time (this one included) they shot him from the chest up so people at home couldn't see his hips and leg moves. Ridiculous when you watch TV today but that is what it was like back then.

He is known as the King of rock and roll but also sang gospel. Ironically at the time promoters pitched him as a white guy who sounded like a black man.

If Elvis danced from the beginning they likely would have went to a commercial. It's why he's only filmed from the waist up. He was the bad boy of that Era. Great reaction!

Thank you for your posts! It means so much to me. My mom loved Elvis since she was 15 , she is 81 now. She saw him in concert twice in her life

Long time ago thank you for playing Elvis Presley love it 🙏🙏🙏🙏

These videos of the sweet and gifted Elvis break my heart. Fame and money can kill you.

Everybody was waiting for this performance. On a Sunday Night there were a lot of Mom’s skipping Church Evening Services!

You should see the full vid of him dancing to this song

The background singers are "The Jordanaires" - 4 brothers who were all ministers. Elvis was very religious. As others have pointed out, they were not allowed to show him below the waist, his moves were considered vulgar.

You said you wanted to see how Elvis moved -- television required them to film him from the waist up. They were not allowed to show his "moves." lol

i love watching your journey on becoming an Elvis fan it’s so raw and real it’s so amazing love your content fr!!!!!❤️ you should really watch “Elvis” Austin Butler plays him it’s amazing if you have HBO max please watch!!!

You should really react to "Hound dog", but it has tobe the one from the Milton Bearle show. It was that performance that showed on TV how Elvis performed on stage , and the establishment went crazy, priest called him the devil, radiostations banned his music, and commities went aroun at jukebox joints to make sure there were No Elvis records. Also make sure it is the unredacted version from the Milton Bearle show .

In this particular TV performance It was intentional that they film him from the waist up.

When he first came on the scene in the mid 1950s, Elvis' moves on stage were so wild, he was getting banned and some radio stations wouldn't play his records. In those early TV appearances, they decided to film him only from the waste up and told him to tone it down. This Don't Be Cruel performance on the Ed Sullivan show is a perfect example. Next, try "Hound Dog" on the Milton Berle show where they let him be himself and didn't cut him off at the waist.

It would be great if you reacted to a few of Elvis’s movie songs, my favourites are Return to sender, Bosa Nova Baby and C’mon Everybody. He could do it all and did so with such style. Also Elvis singing with Frank Sinatra on tv is very special too.

This has been called the best song ever recorded.
