- Elvis Presley YOU GAVE ME A MOUNTAIN
I actually shot this reaction video since November 2020. The copyright challenge I had trying to upload it reminded me strongly the reason I'll avoid reaction videos for live!!!
Enjoy this reaction bonus while it last.

I've been an Elvis fan since 1956 when he became an international superstar. Keep in mind back then we didn't have internet or music videos. The majority of us never had the opportunity to see him perform live. And the only way to see his movies was to go to a theater. We had radio, records, magazines and an occasional tv appearance. Younger people wonder if we knew at the time how extraordinary he was. YES WE DID!!
Woow!!! If most of today's super star singers and musicians were to be thrown back to those days, they will find it hard to have an appearance cos they depend heavily on gimmicks in various forms. Woow!!! More or less back then, it was true talent or no stage.
ELVIS THE KING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Christine , it is so great to have you back youv'e been missed, what every works for you is ok
Good evening sir. I really needed to hear this support. Thanks a lot!!!
Beside your great musical knowledge, you are absolutely right.....he was going through a lot during this time in 1973. His wife left him and took his beloved little daughter with her. This concert took place in January '73, and the divorce in October '73.
He always was a great storyteller and i feel a certain kind of anger in his voice. Today we know that he didn't climb this mountain anymore.
He died four years later.
Some say because of a broken heart......💔
Thanks so much for your professional explanation and insight to this great performance!
Hi sis🌻I am so happy to see Christine🤗🤗🤗it made my day to see her here again!!!
🎶Oh happy day🎶

Great reaction to this great song and artist!
Thanks so much for
letting us know what we didn't know about this performance yet!
God bless! 🙏
Thank you for your appreciation 🙏🏽
It isn’t on a hill any longer You gave me a mountain this time. Omg Elvis is awesome!! and Christine is the best reaction music teacher on CZcams.
Thank you ma'am!!! 💕💕
Elvis Presley's true spirit is reflected in his gospel music.
Agree 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Same Christine Same! Elvis makes the song his...and we as fans ....just enter into his world! Thank you!🙏
I pray I'm blessed with a tiny portion of his giftings. His combination of musical skills, humility, love for GOD and care for all people.
@@christineokosun I can see that you are and believe you are when I see your videos!
@@lisamariepagliei3945 awwwww thank you! I'm honestly a work in progress. Thanks a lot for your kind and generous compliment
@@christineokosun it's truth and it shines through! There's a bunch of reasons I love your reaction videos so much! You're gorgeous, you have a great sense of humor, you know singing, and you don't shy away from acknowledging Elvis' qualities we women love so much. What's interesting though, is there's so many men who knew him who have publicly said, he was the best looking man they've ever seen! I mean, he was too much for the naked eye, is the best way I can put it.
@@christineokosun I'm putting this link in a few places because I think you need to see it:

Christine, you are my favorite who reacts to music especially Elvis.
Thank you so much Jim🙏🏽🙏🏽
Make the world go away, live in Vegas is another elvis masterpiece.
Thanks 👍🏽💕💕
Hi Christine good to see and hear you again! Elvis couldn't hide his emotions..when he's happy you see it when he's sad he's reflective and you hear it. This was in 73 the year he and Priscilla divorced and 4 years before he passed. His songs in the later years are mostly ballads slow sad but great. Thanks for breaking his songs down for us..you're amazing 👍💕
My utmost pleasure 💕💕
Absolutely BRILLIANT Elvisreaction, the best you've done so far.👏👏👏
Oh! Thank you!
Bravo! 👏👏👏 Another brilliant musical interpretation! I love your expression while listening, I have those same reactions. I enjoy listening to Elvis' vocals with my eyes closed also...especially his Gospel songs
Thank you so much!!! Compliments of the season to you 💕💕
I am so happy to see you again Christine!
Your knowledge and
insight is so appreciated.... This song ( like many of his)
bring me to tears.I feel
the pain he sings about
.....he knew the way to connect with people with his music and vocals....We fans never tire of him or his music. He touches our very heart and soul and
he is missed very much. Thank you
and again it is great to see you💐
Thank you ma'am for your kind words and application 💕💕🙏🏽
aways a GREAT JOB. Your Elvis reactions and insights are the Best ! 800 more to do.
Thank you!!!!!
Thank you for your brilliant reactions .💞
My utmost pleasure 🙏🏽
Do more Elvis..your reactions go beyond just watching and listening. You provide in depth technical analysis that is fascinating...more Elvis please! :)
Awwwww thank you so much 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
So nice to see you doing reactions again Christine, i`ve really missed that :)))
I see you have that beautiful picture of Elvis when I see elvis with those beautiful blue eyes and that smile he just takes my breath away and then that voice just fills my heart and soul with happiness and joy
His voice is like a whole being on its own!
This is a great song written and performed by Marty Robbins but compare the 2 performances and Elvis has a pathos in his voice that just grabs your heart strings. A very autobiographical song as to what he was going through in his life but also has an anthemic quality. He did more and more really heart wrenching songs as he moved towards the end of his life and did not enjoy singing the frivolous tracks from his early career. His voice just became so big!! Thank you for wonderful observations.
Elvis said these songs were not about his life..he chose the songs for the emotion he could bring forth in them.Many fans think these songs are about his life when ,according to him, they are not.
@@margarettaylor8107 The King's songs are about all our lives 👏
@@kennethmohamed2897 You bet but not exclusively his life.
I'm curious to know if he said how he digs into his emotions. What in his life at that time could he relate with the emotions he was able to relate to in this song? . I want to learn from him by studying him as I have being doing but I wished he gave more interviews or something to help generations globally after he has passed to glory to learn from him. I guessed he never knew he'll still be great so many years after his passing.
@@margarettaylor8107 of course he said that but wouldn't anyone? Elvis kept his personal life as personal as he possibility could and while others close to him knew songs like, "You Were Always On My Mind" and, 'Separate Ways" were felt to Elvis, about him and Priscilla, Elvis never went on record saying so.
Your reaction are by far the best I've seen!
Awwwnnn thank you!!!! 💕💕💕💕💕
Love your channel and Elvis is the greatest popular singer in history!!! Love you!!!
Thank you!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Heyy Christine!! So glad you’re back. You’re the best! 💕💕💕
"Just pretend" from Las Vegas 1970 is a beautiful song. His singing is otherworldly
on it, would love to see your reaction to that one :)
"Just Pretend" is one of my all time favorite Elvis' live performances!
I'm so happy to see you do another Elvis reaction especially knowing how difficult it is with the copyright problems. Thank you!! I'm hoping you can slip through some young Elvis reactions. "Heartbreak Hotel" was his first #1 hit. "Love Me Tender", "Don't Be Cruel", and "Ready Teddy" also come from the early days. They can be found with studio versions or live performances.
Thank you, Christine! If you're able, please react to, I'm Leavin'- (the long version) if you need the link I have it and can send to you. I love the way you smile as you watch him! I just love your whole style and approach to music and love for ELVIS. Thank you!💛❤️💛❤️ God bless you, and I love how you referenced Jesus' plight!
His voice control and depth both got stronger as he got older. Check him out doing this song in 1976! The hairs on the back of your neck will stand up!
So did you explain in the intro why we, the viewers, cannot see the performance? Why do so many other CZcamsrs show the artist as they react? I guess I'm trying to figure out how you know whether or not you can show video along with playing audio...? 💛
@@lisamariepagliei3945 Not seeing him perform the song helps focus on his vocal quality without the distraction of his good looks. 😀
@@gigimoore3738 what? Seriously? So, there's no other reason, and is this a choice made by the person doing the reaction or is it some law? You lost me with this explanation. But I appreciate you sharing it.
@@gigimoore3738 the entertainer as a whole, should be taken in and not just the sound of his voice! Because, people do live performances and the audience not only hears but sees the artist which in totality forms their opinion! I'm very confused by what you said
After uploading, when I see it's blocked and view if it's the audio or video or both, that informs my decision to re-upload again leaving out the video in the case of video that has copyright or audio in the case of audio copyright. When it's not allowed in my region and blocked completely after I upload, I just delete to avoid copyright strike.
Marty Robbins sang you gave me a mountain before Elvis. I can't remember who did it before Marty. I love watching you.
Great reaction as always. On the 16th August will be the anniversary of his death and I'm hoping you will do another Elvis reaction then. An Elvis song that no other reactor has done is a song called LIFE maybe you can react to that song it has a very dramatic ending. Its a great song its a shame its not as well known or played as his more well known songs
Great request Anna!
Great, but unfortunately totally underrated!
Do Life you will love it. Glad to see you again.
Life. I will screenshot this so I can check it out for myself after I'm done replying to backlog of comments.
He’s so emotive when he sings. This was the year his divorce went through & she took his daughter with her, although he was allowed to visit any time, it was a very difficult year for him with other emotional problems. Life can be very tough at times. He sings a song “Walk a Mile in my Shoes “which is exactly what you mentioned. You’d love that song too. God bless you and you stay safe and healthy too. ❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
I just read a comment that says he was still with his wife then and I was wondering where did that raw emotion emerged from. Thank you so much 🙏🏽
Thank God you are back Christine, love how you take time to teach us.
I abandoned reaction due to so many copyright issues but I must say I miss it. Thinking of doing some more reactions especially on Elvis Presley's gospel songs cos that is my favourite
A lot of other reviewers have done reviews of Elvis's songs called Polk Salad Annie, and suspicious minds, and in the ghetto. All performed in Las Vegas. I hope you will get a chance to review those three songs those were his top best performances. I absolutely love your reviews Christine.
Thanks a lot for your compliment 💕💕🙏🏽
Love your passion for music. Thank you. You should watch the live version and see his passion on his face.
Oh I have seen it.💕💕💕 The American Trilogy was one live performancs that I will never ever forget watching and re-living the way the performancs touched me!!!!!!
WOOOOW. You really know how to break down and analyze a song. I’ve heard this a thousand times and never thought it about it the way you did. If your you tube / music career doesn’t pan out for you, perhaps a career in psychology would serve you well :)
Psychology?? WOW! I never thought of that. I'm going to look into that for real because I want to be better with people
@@christineokosun :)
I can totally see you as a therapist . You have good insight and analytical skills. You'd be a natural !!! And by the way, I really miss your Elvis reactions.
@@gbbryangad oh thank you! I really enjoyed doing reactions.
another song i think you would really love and is very touching is (WHERE NO ONE STANDS ALONE) it is a religious song that he does a duet with his daughter lisa marie. it took her 3 times on recording to get it right she kept breaking down crying trying to get it right. weather you react to it or not is up to you, just listening to it you will enjoy it
The duets suk, Elvis should sing lead alone
Good evening from her sir!!!! 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽. How have you been and hope you've been keeping safe? Thank you for the suggestion sir and compliments of the season to you 💕💕💕
You should play his song he performed in Hawaii. You will see him perform on the stage
Elvis went through a divorce, he had serious health issues most of his adult life and especially in the last couple years. He lived a lonely life towards the end, trapped in his home by his own fame. Imagine not being able to so something so simple as to go out in your car to a movie, or to eat, or even shop without it causing a riot just about. I cant imagine.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟❤🇫🇮
Christine; for your enjoyment, please look at his live performance (this song) from the Aloha from Hawaii concert 💯 👍 ❤ always ❤
She did, but because of copyright reasons she can't show it. Behind the picture of Elvis is the video of the original Aloha performance.
@@alameas6358 😀👍💯
Thanks a lot 💕💕💕💕💕💕
@Kenneth Mohamed quite a while sir!!!! Trust you are well?
@@christineokosun Christine sister ❤ yes I am doing very well; thank you, hope you are as well!...Keep up the fight 👍👏
Oh no no no! You need to go back and watch the Aloha Performance. That is where you'll get the full impact of his emotions, because you can see them all over his face! And No, this was not about his wife and child leaving, they were still together when he did this song!
For real!!!???? Then I wonder where the emotions came from? I wonder how he does it? Do you know if there was any interview he granted explaining the source of his emotions when he perfomed this song? Cos that can't be faked.
Diana Ankudinova sang a song of Elvis "Can't help falling in love". Did you now?
She did?????? My mouth is opened wide right now as I'm typing these words!!!! Thanks a lot!!! Going to check it out now 🏃🏃
Hello Christine, finally see you again!! what a pleasure! Another brilliant reaction on a magnificent interpretation of the no less magnificent ELVIS. Please, comment on What now my love ( czcams.com/video/UpjKlOM7KQ4/video.html ), and I know you don’t want to, but, please, how great thou art 1977, please please please ! kiss from France
How great thou art 1977......
@@christineokosun please..😢
I've recently become addicted to the version of "Danny Boy" that Elvis recorded in 1976 at the request of his father. If you haven't heard it and would like to, you can find it under Elvis Presley - Danny Boy (New 2020 Enhanced Remastered Version). There's also a home recording from 1959 if you wish to compare the two. I heard a band member say that when Elvis chose a new song he would first spend time alone with it to engrain it into him before they would start rehearsing it. Personally, I don't think every emotional song Elvis sang was about his life. I just think he had such overwhelming empathy for all people that his passion was real. He also said The Sweet Inspirations brought out the soul in him. I assume you're continuing to discover more Elvis songs. Enjoy!!
I don't think I've heard it. Thanks for the suggestion. I need some Elvis songs right now.
@@christineokosun let me warn you this is a sad song but beautiful at the same time. If you communicate to me what genre of music you're in the mood for or whether you want to laugh, cry, dance, feel loved or heartbroken, be uplifted and inspired, or just have fun I'll recommend Elvis songs. Try this one (and I hope you'll let me know if you enjoyed it): ELVIS PRESLEY - HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE 1963 (3:53). I'm so glad you're still on the Elvis journey!
@@kathifielder1110 just listened to it. It's very sad. His voice was deeper and conveyed rich and deep emotions. If I am correct, you wrote he did this song at the request of his father? Elvis sang it with so much understanding like he felt or knew he will soon leave this earth. The part that did me in is " And I shall feel, though soft you tread above me. And then my grave will be richer, sweeter be for you...." I don't want to cry😭😭😭😭😭😭.
Why would his father request him to recodd that? I'm glad he did though. Just wondering cos he sang it as if he knew he was going to leave this earth.
Please kindly recommend a happy gospel song by Elvis. It's almost midnight here and I can't afford to cry anymore as I don't want to wake up with a headache.
@@christineokosun Just saw your comment. It's just after 5 p.m. here. Try "Seeing is Believing".
@@christineokosun This will be long but hopefully will give you a little more insight into Elvis's life and some new songs to explore. I can only guess at why Elvis's dad (Vernon) asked him to record "Danny Boy". It was a very familiar song in the U.S. when I was growing up, so it could have been one of Vernon's favorites. I know Elvis had sung it for many years because there's a home recording of it. When he was stationed in Germany in 1958-60 he rented a house for his dad, his grandma & himself off base. He had a piano and his guitar and practiced singing whenever he got a chance. To hear it search: Elvis Presley Danny Boy private recorded (3:36). He was 24 when this was made. He never recorded this as a single, so maybe they they were looking for suggestions for the album that was being made in 1976. Vernon had been struggling with heart problems for a couple years so he may have been thinking about his own mortality when he made this request. NEW SUBJECT: If you haven't seen these, I think you would really enjoy them: (1) Elvis: Return to Tupelo (this details Elvis's life from birth through the beginning of his career); (2) Elvis Presley - The King of kindness; (3) Bruno Kirby Story: 'The Magic of Elvis Presley'; (4) 200 CADILLACS (Elvis Presley). And finally SOME SONGS: In December of 1956 four young rising stars just happened to come together at the small recording studio where they had all recorded separately. Elvis was 21 years old at the time. They had a spontaneous jam session for a few hours, and the owner recorded them. A reporter nicknamed them The Million Dollar Quartet because he thought that's what their combined earnings would total in a year. If you search The Million Dollar Quartet and then type in each song separately you'll find my favorites: Down By The Riverside; Just A Little Talk With Jesus; Jesus Walked That Lonesome Valley (extra verse); When The Saints Go Marchin' In; Softly and Tenderly. SOME GOSPEL SONGS: (1) Elvis Presley - Let Us Pray (3:04) (this is a movie clip); (2) In the Garden; (3) He Is My Everything; (4) The stamps (Elvis) sweet sweet spirit. mp4 (2:56); (5) So High (Extended Version) (1966) (3:00); (6) "I believe" - Elvis Presley (2:08); (7) Elvis Presley. - Lighthouse - Lead Me Guide Me - Bosom of Abraham (3:45) (this is one of those informal times Elvis and his group shared); (8) Reach Out To Jesus; (9) Elvis Presley - I Believe in the Man in the Sky (with lyrics) (2:11); (10) only believe -- Elvis Presley (2:59); (11) Gospel Production Number ('68 Comeback Special) (8:51). I got a little carried away, but it's so easy to do when it comes to Elvis. After you've had a chance to check out some or all of these, I'd love it if you would let me know what your favorites are. Enjoy and have a wonderful 2022!
Elvis had many illness.He died the old fashioned way..a heart attack, same as both parents.He had had at least two prior. Again, Elvis was not an unhappy man
Go to Globetrotting with Trey channel for an interview with Sallt Hoedel on her book Destined to Die Young.
He, like all of us, had ups and downs and like us, he got over them.He was upbeat when he died, looking forward to his tour and the career changes he had already set in motion.For example Wembley in the UK was already scheduled for an appearance.. So many fans make false assumptions about him and they get theur impressions from salacious books of fabrications..sourced mainly by the book told by Red and Sonny West and ghost written by a Natuonal Enquirer writer.Since when is the Enquurer credible and factual?Oh, I get it. Only when they mainly fabricate against Elvis..and to think this book is used as the main references in hundreds of other books. And many fans chose to believe the lies and the worst about him.Elvis was private person for a reason..those reasons were all the lies told about him.
he was looking forward..not backward.
Anyone who chooses to believe a lie is not truly a fan.
We all have mountains to climb. This shows he was human just like us. Loved him for it.
