Evliis is actually mine & my brother & sisters cousin. My mom married young into the Presley side of his family in Shreveport. I was born & raised in shreveport la where he pretty much got started here at the La Hayride & maybe had family probably here then. Him playing unchained melody on the piano was the last recordings of him singing & performing in concert yes. Before he passed he sung & played it on the piano that day & another song I forget the name. He was an amazing guy with not just great talent and charisma but a heart of gold who gave soo much to the poor & ill and sung to raise charity. I think you should watch some more of him on here singing or interviews he did. It really helps to get to know him better. You have no clue how bad I wish I would of been born the same time era as him & he didnt pass soo soon. It would of been nice to have someone like Elvis in my life to be around instead of negativity. I'm very proud to say hes my cousin he opened the doors for soo many things, like for drummers to be added onto singing making a band, back up singers etc & was just all around an amazing good person. He had some issues like everyone does as well as bad health issues but he really was a great guy soo much I listen to his songs every day now lol
@@chelseashay2174 Hi Chelsea, as everybody seems to be joining in with dates of how long this was before he passed, the correct answer is actually 8 weeks, this performance was from rapid city on June 21st 1977, Elvis passed on August 16th 1977, so 56 days or 8 weeks is correct, not 6 weeks.
Yes indeed !! It was 6 weeks, I am 55 now and LOVE the man, always have! Elvis Presley GAVE his life to his fans , it shows right here !! Only ONE ELVIS !!
I saw Elvis twice 75 & 77 in concert and I have to agree with you 100% you don't really realize how powerful his voice was unless you have seen him in concert. Simply put he is the Goat = greatest of all time!
Being a 61 year old fan of Elvis since the ripe old age of 5, Imwant to say Thank You for showing Elvis respect. He was truly a man who gave his all every time he appeared on Stage! Much respect back to you also! I know we would be friends if we ever met! It was a cover. He loved the Righteous Brothers! Thanks again. You the best!
Seeing Elvis look so sick just brought tears to my eyes. The new media reported how fat he had become. He looks bloated to me, as if his body was shutting down. He sure didn't look 42 in this video. Gone way too soon.
Diane g he was an addict no one help him he had to want to help himself, my daughter has been an addict off and on for 10 yrs I have done everything I can to help her, put her in rehab, got her jobs, got her an apt, took care of her kids and she’ll get clean and the first time something doesn’t go her way she’s right back on it, her psychologist actually said I was an enabler and I needed to back off so I tried that but now she only calls me if she needs money which is rare because I dont usually have any anymore it’s a hell of a life let me tell you and btw she started with prescription pain pill for back pain
Aww me too Janetta. Maybe he was on steroids, when I was on them my face was very puffy like that. I love Elvis so much. Wish I had been alive at the same time he was.
he was bloody good .when he wasnt druged out of his head, he is clearly on something here. and the performance wasnt that great and no way in hell was he as good as bob from the righteous brothers.
Elvis grew up going to a Black Gospel Church under the Reverend Dr. W. Herbert Brewster of the East Trigg Baptist Church... so this song is perfect for him... RIP Elvis Presley... watch this and learn the TRUTH czcams.com/video/Z_dqfeYWsXc/video.html
I'm 46, but I remember crying when I heard the news that he had passed away. I remember singing his songs, using Mama's broom handle as a microphone, as my older brothers and I played her old Elvis 45 rpm records. I was then, and I am still a fan of his music. So many great ones, but If I Can Dream is still one of my favorites.
@@inspirationworks8357 I have watched the '68 Comeback Special several times, on video of course. His rendition of If I Can Dream from the '68 CS is the Gold Standard, as far as I'm concerned.
I was 7 and I was in Love with Elvis I couldn't wait till I was old enough to go to a concert meet him and marry him,lol. I still love that man, he needed people around him to protect him. I think when you have that much heart and that much talent you are vulnerable to those that try and isolate you so they can control you. I think Michael Jackson was just about to break out of his isolation but just not in time, they don't see the danger because they love people. and not all people are good and worthy of that Love. God I loved Elvis from birth I think always will.
I remember when Elvis died as well. I was shocked to my core. Younger people today, just don't know how big a star he actually was. He really was beyond regular stardom.
His health was failing him badly here, but that VOICE, that never failed him! I love him singing "Hurt" ....his voice. Elvis would relax after his concerts sitting playing at his piano playing and singing gospel with his friends! :D
Ernie McGowin this is the last concert seen by the public but there is another one after this that hasn't been released yet the guy is trying to sell it to the Presley estate I had found an interview with the guy on CZcams
This song he sang from the heart & so much emotions. It sends goose bumps whenever I listen. Also Elvis was a great fan of Mario Lanso Italian opera singer in the 50s u can tell Elvis just went for it Mario style. Like all great artist look deeper to all his songs 100 s all great. Thanks for this channel. We are all wiedo when we are just different & don't conform.
Also whilst playing the piano in this song he came across a little of another great artist Liberace his friend. Also I like the man just talking like a friend about Elvis will listen to his videos again as enjoyable & real.
No sadly Elvis was not well at-all. Many major health problems. Hurts to see him this way but wow, that voice! 💕🎹🎶🎵🎼 AND he actually thought he,d be forgotten! . . Nope! Bless his heart ~
Yes I am one of them older people..I was a very young teenager when I saw Elvis with my granny in 1975 and I was like what the heck is wrong with all these old ladies carrying on like they were having heart attacks LOLOLOL my dad was the hugest fan of Elvis,I still remember he was driving me and some of my girlfriends to the Mall in Columbus GA,We were stationed at Ft Benning then, and it came over the radio that Elvis was dead Aug 16, 1977, my dad pulled over and cried,I was like WOW!! I had never seen my dad ever cry before that,Fast Forward to years later my dad had retired from the Army in 1986 after 22 yrs. He had a huge collection on 8-tracks LOL many of them Elvis, When he was killed in 2005 in a Motorcycle accident I inherited all of them 8-tracks. The are better than anything worth money to me,I can touch them anytime I want and feel my dad :) because his hands had touched them so many times :)
I'm a huge Elvis fan and I was so hesitant to watch this. I'm very protective of this performance. Elvis died not long after and was ill. The years of drug abuse were about to take their toll. But he strived in *every* performance to give everything he had. He clearly is not at his best and he knows it (he even looks a bit embarrassed) but he's determined to give it all he's got. Its heartbreaking for me to watch. Thanks for taking it easy on him. There are much better performances - when he's young, cocky and full of swagger or the later years where his talent and charisma are unparalleled. But you won't find one where he's so vulnerable and uses everything he's got for his audience.
Beautifully said. He wasn’t well and it’s not a fair representation, but we all have love and compassion, as his fans. The ‘68 comeback is truly awesome. To me, that is fair.
I feel like that damn manager of his Colonel Tom Parker old geezer worked him to death and took most of the profits. He was shameless in his eternal greed! Instead of being concerned and getting him help he kept booking those concert dates. My mom and I adored him. I was 18 when he died in 77 I remember it so well it came on the news and we couldn't believe it.. Just cried and cried. My heart breaks when I see how very ill and tired he was. He gave it his all as always. We will never ever see anyone like him again. Rest in peace Elvis
Elvis was very talented. He was also a very good person who did a lot for a lot of people. He died two months after this video. In 77 he had good days and bad days. He was very sick. He had a lot of things wrong with him and he didn't even know it. Instead of being on stage and he should have been in the hospital having surgery. My favorite song by Elvis is If I Can Dream. It was written by someone right after Martin Luther King got murdered. And it was about Brotherhood. And the guy that wrote it brought it to Colonel Parker and Colonel Parker said he didn't think that it would fit Elvis. But Elvis heard it and he wanted to do it. It's a great song. Elvis is missed and will always be the king.
As ill as he was he still gave his all..and his incredible voice was still there! Makes me cry to see him so sick and he was gone shortly after this concert ;(
He died 6 weeks after he did this concert. Clearly in poor health but he gave it his all for songs that meant a lot to him at the end. "If I Can Dream" from the 68 Comeback Special is one I recommend. The deaths of MLK Jr and RFK were the inspiration of those. God bless you. Love your channel.
This is a great performance even though a bit sad as Elvis was obviously worn out and not in the best health, but his voice never let us down..........
I miss Elvis everyday Imiss he,s music although Iplay he,s music everyday I've been a fan from since the 50's and ELvis will always be alive to me he is just like chocolate To me once i start i can't get enough he made so many Beautiful songs there all my favs Love always E rip
kila don’t get me wrong I love elvis I listen to him almost every day but I personally think if we’re talking about pure voice talent and range I reckon Freddie murcury or for someone back when elvis was in his prime I think dean Martin had a better if not the same grade of voice Jackie Wilson aswell
Yeah, this is close to his death. He was overweight and addicted and was a time bomb ticking. I didn’t appreciate him while he was alive cause I was too young. But looking back, he was handsome, a great vocalist, and a good heart. I really appreciate him now. I feel terrible that he died at only 42. And btw, I’m in your older group too!😃
' Can't Help Falling In Love With You ' was voted as Elvis's sexiest song....And also, at the turn of the millennium ( 2000 ) when just about EVERY entertainment mags, tvs, and shows were doing who was #1 this, #1 that blah blah blah...One of the category they did was who was the top 100 entertainer of the last century..Elvis was ranked #1, and Old blue eyes Frank Sinatra came in at #2., and everybody follows behind. .. Cheers my friend. I'm with you, I'd prefer ' Can't Help Falling In LoveWith You ' as well..
His last song 😢 I always feel so sad when i see this video. It hurts so much see him like this. Forever in our hearts ❤ never forgotten❤ love you always💜🙏
Elvis loved gospel music above all others. One of his favorite pastimes was to sit at the piano and play and sing gospel with his backup singers, friends, etc. Look up videos of him doing that. Documentaries about him feature that, too. And his gospel albums have always been popular. Hey, with a storm headed your way, please do everything you can to stay safe. I've spent several happy vacations in the Panhandle (especially Destin, but I love the whole area from Panama City all the way west to Pensacola) and love the area and the people there. I'll be praying for you and family (including your dog) and everyone else in the path of the storm.

I can't believe it's been so long since he left the world in tears! I grew up listening to his music & going to see his movies as a child / teen. I still remember being so excited going into the theater with my sisters. I never did get to see a live performance. He came to Columbia, SC not too awfully long before he passed to do a concert. I wasn't financially in a place to afford the cost of going to see him & I remember saying to myself he'll be back again. But again never happened. I was 23 years old and laying in a hospital bed the morning after major surgery all alone & it scrolled across the bottom of the screen that Elvis had died. I felt like I had just lost a very close family member. I cried for hours. I still cry when I see a video like this one or hear a favorite song. I know he had his flaws as we all do, but he was such a blessing to so many! He made my life sweeter. Thank you Elvis and God bless you!
LOVE Elvis! That voice, oh! My uncle was in the military with him (in Germany) and he sent memorabilia home to his sister (my mom). When he came home he found out my mom sold it all as she wasn't a big Elvis fan. OMG. My uncle talked about that to his dying day. Thanks for bringing this lovely voice to me today and your reactions are priceless.
What an awful and upsetting thing to do to someone - sell their personal items without permission. Just reading about it... well there are no words. Hopefully the precious memories were of some comfort.
Andrew Solymos I'm also an Eddie Rabbitt fan I saw him in 1980 at Summerfest in Milwaukee Wisconsin on Lake Michigan outdoor concert and it was only $5 to get in for general admission tickets those were the days
OK Here's the real deal on this. It was Elvis last live performance. Very Sick ( prescription drugs) & over wt. but his gift from God his GREAT VOICE never left him & he pours his heart out in this Righteous bros rendition that was used in ghost . The original song was done by 50"s Black recording star Al Hibbler . Elvis the voice that shook the world . & yes Elvis did play the Piano & only new 3 cords on the guitar . also it was the last song Elvis played in his home on piano the night he passed away.. Thank you very much
This was not his last performance (I believe this was Grand Rapids) but it was the last tour. His last performance was at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis which was not filmed.
I grew up in love with Elvis. Of course he's my Daddy's age!! LOL. He can do no wrong. Spin Out was one of the first movie's I saw in a theater. But my favorite is King Creole!!! This was his last live performance. He used to play gospel music when he couldn't sleep at night.
Agreed ! And also Don't Cry Daddy. I love Mac Davis but Elvis worked his magic on In the Ghetto and made it his own classic gold. Mac wrote an incredible song, though. Sadly, though released nearly 50 years ago, it is still relatable today ... 😢😢😢
You have just scratched the surface of the ELVIS world, my friend! He was so Unbelievably and Endlessly talented...and I hope you continue to discover his endless , raw talent from his massive assortment of musical genres....he was just THE BEST!!

The Righteous Brothers originally did this song but Elvis liked it and preformed it at this concert. An original song by Elvis that went to No. 2 is called Burning Love, his last really big hit from 1972.
It breaks my heart to see Elvis looking so bad in that video! He was a truly remarkable talent that was gone too soon!!! Ty, do "The Wonder of You" by Elvis!!!
@Sharon Brucks Sadly I'm sure he thought because he took prescription medication he wasn't out of control. The world could see the damage it did but I think he convinced himself he was ok.
April Sutterfield thankyou. This performance was terrible. He looks physically like crap, and he’s singing so overly dramatic. A charactature. He died shortly after.

He doesn’t look like young Elvis, or 32 year old Elvis but i think he’s still incredibly attractive 🤷♀️ I would probably find 83 year old Elvis attractive lol my husband says I have a weird thing for old guys 😂
Thank you so much for this reaction video!! I am a HUGE Elvis fan. This is just ONE of the many reasons his was/is the King of Rock and Roll. This was priceless to me💕

Incredible performance.This is the prove that Elvis on his last consert was more than a rock and roll singer.He was a real Sopran.He sings on the level of a Sopran!Fantastic!
My dad was an elvis impersonator (and various other characters as well) when I was a kid, this was one of the ones he'd perform. It's one of my favorites.
Omgosh Sweet Pea.... you are such an adorable young man, no wonder your age demographics are what they are. You are funny, your comments are respectfully funny. You're a sweet, entertaining young man. Enjoy watching you always!
Love it!! My Man Elvis!! I saw him in July 1976 & was to see him again on August 20, 1977. Always beautiful to me. His voice was four octaves or higher. He loved to see how high the notes he could reach. People always comment on his end. But he was only human like the rest of us and gave so much. He loved us fans and would come down to Gates of Graceland or his others homes to greet his fans. And took time for autographs. Pilamaya (Thank You)
Yes sir that WAS his LAST performance 😢❤ I'm 56 and grew up with his music!! His death had me crying at 15!! He WAS a beautiful, thoughtful man whose demons where just to much 😢 but I KNOW he loved God and believed in Jesus Christ! You should really listen to his Gospel music from younger years!! SO BEAUTIFUL!! THANK YOU for supporting him JUST by listening!! God Bless! I'm hitting the subscribe button NOW!! 😀❤🙏
Actually, that was not the last song he did live. His last performance was in Indianapolis, IN on June 26, 1977. This was done a few days earlier. Elvis' last song was "Can't Help Falling in Love".

I’m 18 and I love your videos. I’m starting to find an interest in Rock and Jazz. Which is quite awkward when I’m with my friends since they all listen to HipHop. But I’ll live and die with Elvis Presley’s voice. Oh my god. So beautiful
Your fan base 50 and up were alive when he was and possibly seen him in concert. I'm one of them his voice just went through you reverberated your body there will never be another entertainer like him. Unchained melody came out in 1955 long before ghost many people have recorded it. Elvis was well known for playing the piano as the guitar.
My grandmother raised us on Elvis but I was the only one who really fell in love with him. She went to many concerts of his, saw him in Bono Ar when he was just getting started and was touring with Johnny Cash. She was lucky enough to get a handkerchief, she gave it to me a couple years ago. I will be buried with it and If I Can Dream will be played.
I just love so many Elvis songs My favorite has to be. its Midnight. So many people have done a cover of unchained Melody going way back to al Hibbler and jimmy young in 1955. George Benson has to be my favorite. lovely video's you are doing thank you enjoying them.

this performance is about a two months before Elvis Presley passed away and Elvis Presley's voice was incredible till the end..
It was about 2 months before he died. You're right, AMAZING until the end!!!
Donna Galloway thank you for the comment I actually have that concert on DVD just incredible
6 weeks before he passed

I love these kids waking up to Elvis greatness. Will still be happening in a thousand years time
I always thought Elvis sounds better live! Anyone else agree?
On some songs I agree. Like I've always loved the way he does Heartbreak Hotel in the '68 comeback.
In most songs.
And a very, very close second is Roy Orbison
I saw Elvis twice 75 & 77 in concert and I have to agree with you 100% you don't really realize how powerful his voice was unless you have seen him in concert. Simply put he is the Goat = greatest of all time!
Even though he's so bloated, so poorly....that smile, that voice. So beautiful. I feel so sorry he couldn't get control. A true light in the world ❤️
Sad..
No he didn't sing it in Ghost...If i remember correctly the Righteous Brothers did..
That's what I remember
I believe that the Righteous Brothers originally sung this and it was one of their biggest hits. 🐧🐧
@Sharon Brucks WTH?? Not an Elvis fan?? 🐧🐧
Sharon Brucks Elvis Presley had his addiction problems like three quarters of America!
@Sharon Brucks Elvis developed an addiction but, that doesn't mean he wasnt blessed with a beautiful voice.
Been a Elvis fan for over 30 years
Love Elvis ❤
He sang that song and played the piano

He had conjustive heart failure. Where your body retains fluid. That's why he was bloated
I'm 45 and I LOVE Elvis!!
The King!!!
You looked mesmerized at some scenes in the vid, bro. Good to see Elvis still brings it..
Good vid..
Thank you for posting this.
No matter what , that man is the world's best entertainer.

Ty,thank you so much god bless you love Elvis,the king of music.👑❤👍
The King. That was nearly acapella. The richness of his voice alone can make a masterpiece.

Beautiful!
Almost same stories as me growing up with dad & elvis music. 🎶 😉
I think the whole world cried when Elvis died. I was 12 years old, and I remember it like it was yesterday... Thanks for your great story!
Theres a reason they called him THE KING. Glad u enjoyed his man.
Iconic, the voice of voices! An American treasure, truly missed
This is from the CBS special only 6 weeks before his death. His amazing voice never left him.
The industry slowly stole his life long and last breath ...he passed away shortly after this recording.
Broke my heart that day. .

I feel like that damn manager of his Colonel Tom Parker old geezer worked him to death and took most of the profits. He was shameless in his eternal greed! Instead of being concerned and getting him help he kept booking those concert dates. My mom and I adored him. I was 18 when he died in 77 I remember it so well it came on the news and we couldn't believe it.. Just cried and cried. My heart breaks when I see how very ill and tired he was. He gave it his all as always. We will never ever see anyone like him again. Rest in peace Elvis
I feel the same.
@@patriciahouck9147 exactly!
Parker, no matter what, should of stepped in with his pants on #!$@ and do something logic! 😞
You're right but it's still one of my fave performance s
His voice never failed him at the end!
Watching that performance makes me cry every time
Elvis was very talented. He was also a very good person who did a lot for a lot of people. He died two months after this video. In 77 he had good days and bad days. He was very sick. He had a lot of things wrong with him and he didn't even know it. Instead of being on stage and he should have been in the hospital having surgery. My favorite song by Elvis is If I Can Dream. It was written by someone right after Martin Luther King got murdered. And it was about Brotherhood. And the guy that wrote it brought it to Colonel Parker and Colonel Parker said he didn't think that it would fit Elvis. But Elvis heard it and he wanted to do it. It's a great song. Elvis is missed and will always be the king.
He was still having a powerful voice as sick as he was just to please his fans dedicated entertainer
Please keep sending Elvis. . i. Love him. What a voice and a great entertainment. he was thank u.
As ill as he was he still gave his all..and his incredible voice was still there! Makes me cry to see him so sick and he was gone shortly after this concert
;(
FYI..This is one of his last performances before he died...
Elvis. An American icon till the end.RIP man
Still had the Voice until the end. The Greatest!
Heartbreaking to watch this video he passed away two months later what an absolute stunning performance RIP beautiful from England 💙
He died 6 weeks after he did this concert. Clearly in poor health but he gave it his all for songs that meant a lot to him at the end. "If I Can Dream" from the 68 Comeback Special is one I recommend. The deaths of MLK Jr and RFK were the inspiration of those. God bless you. Love your channel.
This is a great performance even though a bit sad as Elvis was obviously worn out and not in the best health, but his voice never let us down..........
Elvis, Left This World In TEARS.. LOTS Of LOVE.
I miss Elvis everyday
Imiss he,s music although
Iplay he,s music everyday
I've been a fan from since the
50's and ELvis will always be alive to me he is just like chocolate
To me once i start i can't get enough he made so many
Beautiful songs there all my favs
Love always E rip
I’m 17. I’m a huge Elvis though, and I your videos. Keep up the good work. I suggest “In the Ghetto,” by Elvis.
I was coming to suggest it too, one of my favorite Elvis songs. :)
Good one!!
I’m such a huge elvis fan i love “sand castles “
Have you seen In the gettho by Lisa Marie and ELVIS?
What a voice! Rest in peace dear Elvis!
How Great Thou Art! Love that song I am 59 years old and a big fan of Elvis
You would love his spiritual songs! How Great Thou Are is beautiful!
He is just best singer ever... and I think forever will be.. nobody could bring any song with that emotion like Elvis did...
kila wouldn’t say the best singer but one of the best for sure
@@Zion-hg3cs
Who is better? :)
kila don’t get me wrong I love elvis I listen to him almost every day but I personally think if we’re talking about pure voice talent and range I reckon Freddie murcury or for someone back when elvis was in his prime I think dean Martin had a better if not the same grade of voice Jackie Wilson aswell
I agree100% Elvis Presley was a diamond a very talented a Gorgeous man nobody sung the Emotional songs like Elvis could nobody.
Sandra Miller what about Jackie Willson? He was the best emotional song singer I’ve ever heard I think him and elvis are equal
Yeah, this is close to his death. He was overweight and addicted and was a time bomb ticking. I didn’t appreciate him while he was alive cause I was too young. But looking back, he was handsome, a great vocalist, and a good heart. I really appreciate him now. I feel terrible that he died at only 42.
And btw, I’m in your older group too!😃
Elvis was the man, king I should say. A truly unique individual with a great set of pipes.
ELVIS - The best Ever !!!! (from sweden)
His face was so puffy here..u can tell he had heart trouble....sad
You know why right?
" wise men say, only fools rush in, but i...can't...help...falling in love...with...you." ... i prefer over this one 😊
' Can't Help Falling In Love With You ' was voted as Elvis's sexiest song....And also, at the turn of the millennium ( 2000 ) when just about EVERY entertainment mags, tvs, and shows were doing who was #1 this, #1 that blah blah blah...One of the category they did was who was the top 100 entertainer of the last century..Elvis was ranked #1, and Old blue eyes Frank Sinatra came in at #2., and everybody follows behind. .. Cheers my friend. I'm with you, I'd prefer ' Can't Help Falling In LoveWith You ' as well..
JT's Channel agree
@@pallen49 Elvis has been ranked #1 and #2 richest dead celebrities for years. Sometimes #3. I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day!!! 😊😊😊😊 🐧🐧
His last song 😢 I always feel so sad when i see this video. It hurts so much see him like this. Forever in our hearts ❤ never forgotten❤ love you always💜🙏
Fifties and early sixties Elvis was at his best physically and vocally
Elvis amazing 😍💞💝 the gold voice 💜💕💖
Elvis loved gospel music above all others. One of his favorite pastimes was to sit at the piano and play and sing gospel with his backup singers, friends, etc. Look up videos of him doing that. Documentaries about him feature that, too. And his gospel albums have always been popular.
Hey, with a storm headed your way, please do everything you can to stay safe. I've spent several happy vacations in the Panhandle (especially Destin, but I love the whole area from Panama City all the way west to Pensacola) and love the area and the people there. I'll be praying for you and family (including your dog) and everyone else in the path of the storm.

Elvis was an ill man at that point. Rest in Peace ✌️
I can't believe it's been so long since he left the world in tears! I grew up listening to his music & going to see his movies as a child / teen. I still remember being so excited going into the theater with my sisters. I never did get to see a live performance. He came to Columbia, SC not too awfully long before he passed to do a concert. I wasn't financially in a place to afford the cost of going to see him & I remember saying to myself he'll be back again. But again never happened. I was 23 years old and laying in a hospital bed the morning after major surgery all alone & it scrolled across the bottom of the screen that Elvis had died. I felt like I had just lost a very close family member. I cried for hours. I still cry when I see a video like this one or hear a favorite song. I know he had his flaws as we all do, but he was such a blessing to so many! He made my life sweeter. Thank you Elvis and God bless you!
LOVE Elvis! That voice, oh! My uncle was in the military with him (in Germany) and he sent memorabilia home to his sister (my mom). When he came home he found out my mom sold it all as she wasn't a big Elvis fan. OMG. My uncle talked about that to his dying day. Thanks for bringing this lovely voice to me today and your reactions are priceless.
What an awful and upsetting thing to do to someone - sell their personal items without permission. Just reading about it... well there are no words. Hopefully the precious memories were of some comfort.
Aww man. Ya gotta do KENTUCKY RAIN. I live in Tupelo, MS. Just around the corner from Elvis’ house 😁
Very underrated song and one of his best written by Eddie Rabbitt
Connie Whittington yah I’ve seen elvis “shotgun” house so cool!
♥ ♥ ♥
Andrew Solymos I'm also an Eddie Rabbitt fan I saw him in 1980 at Summerfest in Milwaukee Wisconsin on Lake Michigan outdoor concert and it was only $5 to get in for general admission tickets those were the days
My favorite song he sang.
OK Here's the real deal on this. It was Elvis last live performance. Very Sick ( prescription drugs) & over wt. but his gift from God his GREAT VOICE never left him & he pours his heart out in this Righteous bros rendition that was used in ghost . The original song was done by 50"s Black recording star Al Hibbler . Elvis the voice that shook the world . & yes Elvis did play the Piano & only new 3 cords on the guitar . also it was the last song Elvis played in his home on piano the night he passed away.. Thank you very much
Do you know the facts behind his drugs?
This was not his last performance (I believe this was Grand Rapids) but it was the last tour. His last performance was at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis which was not filmed.
I love Elvis to this day,always will,forever in our
Elvis laid bare at a time most stars would hide no one need ask Why is he loved so much
I grew up in love with Elvis. Of course he's my Daddy's age!! LOL. He can do no wrong. Spin Out was one of the first movie's I saw in a theater. But my favorite is King Creole!!! This was his last live performance. He used to play gospel music when he couldn't sleep at night.
Three words... In the Ghetto. My favorite Elvis song of all time.
One of the best songs of his of course I can't deny I love all of his music LOL
That 1 is the bomb!
My favorite as well. Kentucky Rain is good too.
Agreed ! And also Don't Cry Daddy.
I love Mac Davis but Elvis worked his magic on In the Ghetto and made it his own classic gold. Mac wrote an incredible song, though. Sadly, though released nearly 50 years ago, it is still relatable today ... 😢😢😢
Yes. The Ghetto. It's a tear jerker.
You have just scratched the surface of the ELVIS world, my friend! He was so Unbelievably and Endlessly talented...and I hope you continue to discover his endless , raw talent from his massive assortment of musical genres....he was just THE BEST!!
I love ELVIS Presley he was a very gorgeous a talented man.
One of Elvis’s favorite things was gathering around his grand piano at Graceland with several gospel quartets singing one hymn after the other...

The Righteous Brothers originally did this song but Elvis liked it and preformed it at this concert. An original song by Elvis that went to No. 2 is called Burning Love, his last really big hit from 1972.
Moody Blue was his last big hit as an album and as a single, No.1 on the Billboard country album and single charts. 1977
No they didnt.
mark giles sadly moody blue became a hit cause he passed away. Burning love, was his last top ten hit while he was alive.
Elvis is the best there ever was, as he put his very heart and soul into every preformance for his somany belovered fans right up to the very end 🤗🤩
In 1977 I delivered newspapers and I remember seeing the front page that morning, a sad day for sure.
It breaks my heart to see Elvis looking so bad in that video! He was a truly remarkable talent that was gone too soon!!! Ty, do "The Wonder of You" by Elvis!!!
@Sharon Brucks Sadly I'm sure he thought because he took prescription medication he wasn't out of control. The world could see the damage it did but I think he convinced himself he was ok.
The Wonder of You ... yes. Another goodie !
April Sutterfield thankyou. This performance was terrible. He looks physically like crap, and he’s singing so overly dramatic. A charactature. He died shortly after.

He doesn’t look like young Elvis, or 32 year old Elvis but i think he’s still incredibly attractive 🤷♀️ I would probably find 83 year old Elvis attractive lol my husband says I have a weird thing for old guys 😂
I believe Elvis knew his time was almost here. He missed his mom so much a wife a baby Lisa. He was so broken a lonely.
The MAN
His voice is incredible 💖
I remember the day he died 😢
Thank you so much for this reaction video!! I am a HUGE Elvis fan. This is just ONE of the many reasons his was/is the King of Rock and Roll. This was priceless to me💕

Incredible performance.This is the prove that Elvis on his last consert was more than a rock and roll singer.He was a real Sopran.He sings on the level of a Sopran!Fantastic!
Hello! Never seen you before. If you've already subbed Thanks and feel free to share with friends, family, and any social media you have.
I agree! Elvis had an awesome voice!
Thank you for this video, good to see young people reacting to Elvis
Thank you for featuring Elvis...
My dad was an elvis impersonator (and various other characters as well) when I was a kid, this was one of the ones he'd perform. It's one of my favorites.
Can you react to Elvis If I Can Dream from the 68 comeback special? I'm 26 and a huge Elvis fan.
Gorgeous song!!!
Exactly the song I was going to suggest, one of his best imo.
My favorite performance, If I can dream ❤️❤️
that's one of his best
That song & performance was amazing! The 68 come back special is on of my favorites of him!
thanks for the elvis videos
The Righteous Brothers did the song. He loved it and covered it. He passed away two months later. Thank you for doing this. Love Elvis.
Omgosh Sweet Pea.... you are such an adorable young man, no wonder your age demographics are what they are. You are funny, your comments are respectfully funny. You're a sweet, entertaining young man. Enjoy watching you always!
Love it!! My Man Elvis!! I saw him in July 1976 & was to see him again on August 20, 1977. Always beautiful to me. His voice was four octaves or higher. He loved to see how high the notes he could reach.
People always comment on his end. But he was only human like the rest of us and gave so much. He loved us fans and would come down to Gates of Graceland or his others homes to greet his fans. And took time for autographs.
Pilamaya (Thank You)
Yes sir that WAS his LAST performance 😢❤ I'm 56 and grew up with his music!! His death had me crying at 15!! He WAS a beautiful, thoughtful man whose demons where just to much 😢 but I KNOW he loved God and believed in Jesus Christ! You should really listen to his Gospel music from younger years!! SO BEAUTIFUL!! THANK YOU for supporting him JUST by listening!! God Bless! I'm hitting the subscribe button NOW!! 😀❤🙏
I love that you did this my friend.
that was the last very song he did on stage live. You can almost tell he was saying good bye. Long Live the King.
Actually, that was not the last song he did live.
His last performance was in Indianapolis, IN on June 26, 1977. This was done a few days earlier.
Elvis' last song was "Can't Help Falling in Love".
Yes I'm 57 and your a blessing also I love Elvis

I’m 18 and I love your videos. I’m starting to find an interest in Rock and Jazz. Which is quite awkward when I’m with my friends since they all listen to HipHop. But I’ll live and die with Elvis Presley’s voice. Oh my god. So beautiful
Thx. If you've already subbed thanks. Feel free to share with friends, family and any social media!
Elvis the best, that video you played was recorded during Elvis Final Tour in 1977, two months before he passed away
Love your outro sir
You seem like a loving-caring
Soul😁 ps. Im 19 hispanic and love Elvis as a artist and even more as a man
God Bless.....
I heard Elvis taught himself to play the piano and yes he played the guitar also
He only knew a few guitar chords as he admitted in his last concert.
@Shock true,he sang with over whelming feeling and was a great stage performer .you can't take that away from him
He played bass, guitar and piano all by ear....he never learned to read music.....but he had a pitch perfect ear for all music.
No matter how many drugs he took his voice never left him.
You should see Elvis 1968 live comeback
Your fan base 50 and up were alive when he was and possibly seen him in concert. I'm one of them his voice just went through you reverberated your body there will never be another entertainer like him. Unchained melody came out in 1955 long before ghost many people have recorded it. Elvis was well known for playing the piano as the guitar.
My grandmother raised us on Elvis but I was the only one who really fell in love with him. She went to many concerts of his, saw him in Bono Ar when he was just getting started and was touring with Johnny Cash. She was lucky enough to get a handkerchief, she gave it to me a couple years ago. I will be buried with it and If I Can Dream will be played.
God I wish I was there
Die hard fan bro that was 6 week before he died iam 32 and Elvis is the man
When you're the King, your microphone stand is a who, not a what.
I just love so many Elvis songs My favorite has to be. its Midnight. So many people have done a cover of unchained Melody going way back to al Hibbler and jimmy young in 1955. George Benson has to be my favorite. lovely video's you are doing thank you enjoying them.
