      He sang this and wrote this because the love of his life was gone from his life, he knew she would never come back, but he didn’t blame her because he knew in the end his own folly drove her away. This was his tragic, sorrowful “i’m sorry, this is what I wish could have been.” This was the song he chose to make his swansong.

      ​@2yoyoyo1Unplugged he didn't actually write the song, but yes, he was singing it to the love of his life, for sure. The Rightous Brothers, with the solo sung by Bobby Hatfield, made the song popular in 1965. But it was written for the movie "UNCHAINED" in 1955 and sung by Todd Duncan as the theme song.

    Heartbreaking. You can see he was struggling before the song (from ill health, not gyrating) short of breath, trying to concentrate. Yet the moment he started playing the piano he was transformed. Incredible performance, yet heartbreaking.

For 20 mins after I left cinema I was so choked I couldn't speak. It took me back to the night news came in he died and this version was played on radio. I'm 65 and shocked that this man can still have that affect on someone who never met him. There was a day he wasn't out of the news or not in a paper in magazine. Yet ironically a lot of newspapers put his passing somewhere around page 5

Elvis had diseases that hadn’t been discovered yet. He was in so much pain, so much. God took him because he just couldn’t take any more. Rest in peace dear Elvis. I still listen everyday.

    I graduated from college in May of 1977 just before he died in August of that year. He was scheduled to perform in Hershey February of 1978. I was planning on sleeping outside for those tickets. I wouldn't have done that for any other performer. Even though this was one of his last performances and he wasn't well. However, his greatest gift, his voice, was still phenomenal. I would have still been THRILLED to be in this audience.

    And even when he was heavier, and having difficulty with breath control...breathing in general... he was giving his performances 110%. He poured his entire heart and soul out, on that stage... every single show.
    Was Michael Jackson, or Stevie Winner, or Elton John a great performer? Of course. But Elvis was a step above. He set the bar. And in my opinion, no other performer, in music history, has ever matched the energy and passion of an Elvis concert.

    Elvis`s career lasted 24 years (1953 - 1977 ).
    People are constantly talking about his weight gain, when in fact, he gained weight in the last three years of his life. In the end, his face was bloated, not fat.
    Some months after this concert, he passed.
    Elvis was a very sick man but all people mention about him is his drug abuse. He took legal drugs for his various health problems, no street drugs.

  • @garrettmiles3644

    First time I heard this song I was 7 years old. My dad was coming home from one of his usual Saturday morning golf games, and he stopped at the mall and got me two things. The first was a sugar cookie, which while I love thouse, I was more excited about what he handed me next. A cassette tape called “The Greatest Performances of Elvis Presley”. The tape had an assortment of tracks, both studio recordings and live performances, ranging from his start in 1953 to the end in 1977. I listened to that tape religiously be it in my room, riding with my mom in her car, or riding with my dad. I had that tape with me a lot. So this song played I don’t know how many times. I remembered even then feeling the power of that vocal. I had no idea then that it was near the end of his life, or what he was going through personally at that time. His manager was keeping him busy with countless gigs and Vegas appearances. He was a greedy money hungry man who took advantage of Elvis, taking 50% of Elvis’ earnings from his live performances in the later years and working him to the point of exhaustion. Elvis also never got over the heartbreak of losing his mother so young, and also his divorce from Priscilla. All of this, mixed with his inherited health issues effected him. People say that it was the pills and unhealthy life choices that killed him. But if you read the book “Destined to die Young” it really dives into the true cause of his death. He had a health condition that was hereditary from his mom’s side of the family. In fact, his mom also ha it. In his case, he had an enlarged heart and an impacted colon. The book shows that even if he’d never taken a pill in his life, he still would’ve most likely died young. As a 7 year old kid, I didn’t know any of this. I just knew I liked what I heard. Seeing it now, and knowing his story, it makes it even more powerful. I would describe it as beautifully heartbreaking. The reason is, because it’s heartbreaking that he was going through all of this at the time, but even in spite of it, when he sang, especially a song like this, he gave it all he had. His voice never wavered one bit. If you ever watch the Elvis movie from 2022, Austin Butler recreated this so beautifully. Worth a watch.

He owned the room the moment he stepped out on stage. When George Harrison saw Elvis live in 1972, he said it was like experiencing the god Vishnu descending from the skies.

    Last song he ever sang on stage. And it was spur of the moment, and not in the songlist for his concert. Some feel that - at the soul level - he knew he was dying. And made this the last song he ever publicly performed on stage. He had never sung this song before on stage either. And had not played the piano on stage in the later years either. He knew, this was it. He'd be gone from this earth in a few weeks. There's been speculation on who he was thinking about and singing to when singing this song with such passion. And I'll leave it at that. I live in Tennessee, with friends in Memphis. He is still quite loved and adored in our community and state. He was one of a kind. There'll never be another like Mr. Elvis Aaron Presley, truly a legend in his own time.

    Love your reaction. Elvis sounded operatic there, especially near the end. Just amazing. Luciano Pavarotti once said that if Elvis had had any classical training growing up, he may well have become one of the greatest opera singers of the 20th century.
    And he didn't put on a few pounds as you say in the way that you would normally think of, it's because of all the drugs they had him on in conjunction with his deteriorating Health condition, some of that congenital, and so there was just a ton of bloating going on.
    He was definitely too sick to be performing live, but his asshole manager pushed him even in this state, and then Elvis thought of his fans and decided to go ahead and do the last couple shows.

    I lived next to Elvis's cousin when I was 4-5 years old, in our hometown of Tupelo, MS. Elvis would ride either his motorcycle or a convertible down from Memphis to visit his cousins. When I would see Elvis pull into Mr. Harold Ray's, I would run over because Elvis would always take me for a ride. I had no concept of fame, only that he was a sweet guy who indulged my love of fast vehicles. My mother was leary of motorcycles, and I can still hear Elvis saying, Mrs. Iris, I'll promise to protect her, but I can't tell her no. Elvis would always stop at a drive-in and buy me a milkshake and sing to me. Years later, after we had moved and Elvis's death, Mr. Harold Ray Presley was the sheriff of Lee County and killed in a shoot-out with a kidnapper. The kidnapper and victim were also killed. When I visit home, you still see both young and older Presley relatives. The Presley genes are strong, and some have a strong resemblance to Elvis, which throws visitors to his birthplace.
