Lol
Lol fr lol I'm one lol
It's funny how he was once the most popular guy ever and now it feels like he's making a "comeback" because of the movie about him
@@leahflower9924 He's never stopped being popular, with 600,000 people visiting Graceland every year since 1978. Elvis in Concert traveling the world since 1997.
Best introduction ever! I just can't get enough of this moment when he joked about singing a sad song you NEVER heard before with BEAUTIFUL words hahaha. I love his sense of humor 😂
Crazy to think that ppl thought Elvis’s moves were inappropriate, he truly was just feeling the music! Parents of those days would drop dead if they saw the artists of today lol
yeah lol
I’m glad society is more sexually liberated these days
LITERALLY imagine these parents seeing megan the stallion. literally they'd immediately burst into flames

It's from 1956. I'd bet most of them are still around!!

The fact that in 2024, we can watch live footage of a rock and roll legend who once existed is a huge blessing and shows the power of the internet at its best, thank you CZcams.
Thank you Internet, though it has its disadvantages
Underrated comment 🙏💯
I was just about to write a similar comment! It really is a blessing and privilege to watch these type of footages!
It’s crazy to think that there’s some Elvis fans who never got to even see this because they died before the internet
Love him more than ever, and i'm 42 years old. 😅
What blows my mind is this guy was just a singing, dancing, handsome rock star but to them that was the first one they’d ever seen so it just took their breath away
Women never reacted so intensely as they did with Elvis he was the King and a once in a humankind talent.
He’s so fine. Like, I haven’t seen a fine ahh singer like him dance and dress the part.
He’s not just a guy, he was a fine mf with a beautiful voice, looks and charisma lol
Elvis was kinda like Eminem. Rock and roll was very much a thing before, but like with Eminem, what was once an art often performed by black artists and relegated to black audiences really broke out into the mainstream and became something EVERYONE listened to.
And like Eminem, Elvis was also actually very respectful when it came to crediting their influences and inspirations while doing well distinguish himself and his art. As far as the "stealing" of black music and exploitation of black art and artists goes, that falls squarely on the record labels.
@@WynnofThule why is it stealing? It is learning blacks were exploited by a group of slick New York City scammers.

Hard to believe he was only 21 here. So polished and confident!
don't you here or don't pay attention? He was (is) blessed buy God. so once again: what is hard to believe?
Was just thinking this. It trips me out that I'm older than him here
That's show how great man back then
He sure lo9ks very mature
One word: amfetamine.
I think its fair to say that any entertainer that has been dead longer than he was alive and nearly 50 years latter, millions still sing his songs, dance, smile, cry and people are still mesmerized by him: He isn't a once in a lifetime but a once in history.
He was just way beyond his time

The power of music and charisma
It's striking that he laughed it up when the girls screamed at every little motion of his body. It was like he couldn't believe it himself, and took it with laughter. What a man! The King, indeed.
Yuck. The King Culture Vulture.
@@peaceandquiet290 It’s truly a testament to how great the man was. Having haters nearly 50 years after your death is a true accomplishment, so he must have been doing something right. Say what you want, he changed the world with his music and left a mark that will last forever.
@@peaceandquiet290 Get lost hater 🤡🤮
I don’t get why so many dislike him. He seemed like a good dude, but no one is universally liked. Either way, he did leave his mark.
He was a phenomenal entertainer. So much unexpressed talent. He could have been a fine actor. He ended up being Colonel Parkers workhorse.
Currently on an Elvis binge after seeing the new film. What a showman he was and what a great voice. Its so tragic how he went from this man to who he was at the end. Long live the King 👑.
He was still great at the end. It was simply his time to go.
Lol omg same
Just seen the Movie tonight.
As how very tragic it was They do so much Justice for him in it.
Reminds you he wasn’t just a thing in time but a real caring person.
Just seen the movie today and I am too
@@b.starknwo6564 I saw it tonight too

Elvis is so good he comes with his own group of professional clappers
Lmao bruh 😂
😂
😂 you kill me dude
They have to be the lamest back-up group ever.
Well, they said he was high-class....
The fact that we are in 2022 and I can look at this classic performance from the king himself and still be amazed is priceless.....
the fact that there is a year 2022 is already priceless
Watching this you can feel the electricity in the theater. He was an incredible talent. Its funny from our perspective now, that controversy-wise his performance was nothing compared with what ppl do onstage now. He was just being himself, feeling the music, and at the time, audiences had never seen anything like it. Ive seen the recent movie as well, its a shame the direction things went in later years for Elvis (to no small degree via Col Tom) but the gifts Elvis provided us will bever be forgotten!
Yes. He is truly in the groove of the moment and the music. So authentic and free. It's not just performing, it's a true expression of a life force along with the force of the music.
Ain't the king thats chuck berry or little Richard kid..
@@ozz7602 they’re all kings. They all had more talent than anyone we got right now-that’s for sure.
People take that king stuff too personally. Of course, Elvis came along at the right time, but he was talented, and that doesn’t take anything away from
Little Richard or Chuck Berry. They were all great.
Elvis was definitely showing off here. And I love it.

@@prismathicc1569 uh?
There are many rock singers, but there is only one king.
You know what I hate, I'm a black man and I can not stand other black people saying elvis is a culture thief I CANT STAND IT. He grew up in a black neighbourhood he grew up in a poor neighbourhood just like Slim he would have been called white trash he had the same opportunities as his neighbours same influences but he was amazing. If you grow up in certain neighbourhoods that is what is going to influences you. If he grew up rich listening to opera would we have elvis today NO he was a product of his environment and I'm so grateful for his amazing music.
Even then, playing music from other cultures isn't stealing from that culture. If cultures remained static, then we'd all still be cavemen
Elvis grew up in the white community just like all other whites. He graduated from high school in 1953. Schools in the south were segregated and not integrated until 1957 and most not enforced until the mid 60's.
Yes, well put. Thank you. I know people get angry that he got famous and made big money off of songs that were originally written and performed by great black musicians. But I do not blame Elvis for that. I blame the industry for wanting a white version of those incredible songs, including Hound Dog, of course. It's not a happy situation, and Elvis did try to give credit where it was due, most famously, I think to Fats Domino, saying HE was the King of Rock and Roll, not Elvis, at one of his Las Vegas shows where Fats Domino was in the audience. But I agree that he was not a "cultural thief." He heard something in the black music where he lived that compelled him much more than the white pop that was going on at the same time.
@@nspector The Industry for the most part wanted nothing to do with him. It was Sam Phillips who used to record black artists who recorded Elvis and Elvis touring city after city, state after state and then the infamous Tom Parker getting hold of his contract and became his manager that got him to go nationwide. Elvis took a lot of abuse by reporters, parents and even variety show hosts who had to have him on for ratings. Elvis stated that his music was a blend of country, blues and gospel. Yes, these were his influences as this is what he grew up around. The young people loved it, but nobody else did until he got drafted by the damn military. RCA then loved the money flowing in when they signed him to a contract.
@@nycsue Yes, you're right about most of the industry in the early days not wanting to do with him, Phillips being the one who was not put off by him sounding black. And you're also right about the way he was treated by reporters and most of the variety show hosts. I do think ultimately, though, that he was, controversy and all (or maybe *especially* because of the controversy over him), a marketable white artist who could bring regional and black music to a huge audience.
This guy looks pretty cool and he's funny. He might make it big.
I mean, I guess you could say he got really big.
@@mk4883 i see what u did there
You could be right the audience, mainly screaming women, seemed to like him…
Nah, I don't think he'll make it...
He seems like too much of a poser to make it big🤷🏼♂️
He really did make the most of having to lip sync, even though he obviously hated that😎
This is why I love Elvis he sounds better live unlike most singers nowdays
That is because he could really sing....
I now get why my mother was so crazy over Elvis. He was so handsome, talented, charismatic and cheeky. He really connected well with the audience. RIP King of Roll n Roll
Short Story: I was 5 and my brother was 7. Dad was a very good disciplinarian and, as such, he set our bedtime each year, and enforced it consistently.
On the occasion of Elvis' very first appearance on Ed Sullivan, my brother and I were in bed asleep.
At about 8:40 p.m., he came into our room, woke us up, and told us something was coming on TV that never occurred before and that we would Remember for the rest of our lives.
Sure enough, it was Elvis. We kids thought we were in another world - and have never forgotten it.
RIP, Dad. Love you....
what a great story and tribute
This is wonderful!
Who did you think would believe this?
@@Chuckpeeto Troll, that's all you got? Crawl back into your hole....

Lesson learned. Stay true to yourself and stand out from the crowd. ❤
This is still impressive in 2022. Elvis had such a unique look and style (rarely seen today) and an unbelievable stage presence.
Like a king
his style wasnt necessarily unique.. his style was entirely based off black r&b artists. His managers had said that they wanted a white man who could sing like a black man
@@zippityzoop1478 nah man, those sideburns and hairstyle are not based off black artists, his style was unique at the time
@@zippityzoop1478 do you actually believe the horseshit you’re spewing?
@@BBPalmer420 that doesn’t mean his style was entirely based off it… it played some influence but he took inspiration from mostly white artists
So yea it’s as I said it’s obviously horseshit if you have a modicum of intelligence. He’s not some derivative black rip off. He’s his own and always will be, hence why he’s the King.
He’s not even trying. He’s just having a fun time and it’s amazing. What natural oozing talent and charisma. Talent of course but that smirk or smile is killer. I am in awe by pre-70s Elvis. There’s still nothing like that and I’m only 33!
33 is really goddamn old though, you have back pain
@@lumpylumpyloo No the fuck it ain't LOL.
Lmao?? It's comical to me. The screaming the goofy moves, the basic overdone music. It's utter ridiculousness. What's hilarious is the boomers that talk about the old "classics" and refer stuff like this clown show lol
@@disco4535 What matters about a performance is what the perfomer makes you feel, that's why people like different kinds of music, even though all the ones that make it big sound good, you won't like them all because you prefer certain genres. Elvis was a legend and no one can deny it, its not only about his music, but also how he perfomermed and made people feel.
I love watching this clip because it shows how fun and silly he must have been. His live performances are always better than his practiced, choreographed movie performances, in my opinion.
This is peak Elvis at 50's period, voice, fresh looks and movement just perfect. Elvis 60's and 70's version never get closed.
Agreed. His pre army era is the biggest reason he’s still iconic today.
I feel like his concert when he was going around kissing all the lady’s was legendary as well tho 😅
The 69 comeback was pretty amazing. That black leather suit. I was two years old, but obviously got to see the repeats.
But yes, I definitely loved the 50s. I loved the 70s. There's always something great to find with any era of Elvis. It's only sad we got so few.
Elvis was fantastic in the 50's, 1960 and then the 68 comeback, 1969 Las Vegas, and the 70's until near the end of his life. He was fantastic and beautiful in every decade. The King of music and the King of hearts.
Dude was just having fun with it. You love to see it.

Yes! As fantastic as the performance was, the way he ended it was my favorite part! 💖💖💖 I'm taking that saying with me for future use.
Man were they cocky back then. They are all low key now.

It was his mission to make the audience go crazy
It was, he didn’t try in the start but then Colonel Tom Parker told him he to do it again so than he started trying.
And he accepted his goal

What's interesting is that at first he was confused, and I believe he went to one of his crew or band members and was like, "Why are they screaming like that?" And they went, "I don't know, but whatever your doing I want you to do it again!" Of course at this time he gotten used to girls screaming. Or at least made it tolerable. Lol

Little Richard was one of the most charismatic Rock & Roll artists known to man, personality to match, style like no other..
Elvis always looked constipated when he performed.. So unoriginal, looked so uncomfortable, was just a pretty face and a half decent voice to match.. He's personality did not bright up the room. So but he's one of the many descendants of colonizers who got famous from stealing from Black artists and ran with it.
@@gmail4218 the others didn't have charisma? Really??? That seems incredibly convenient to say when they had to fight racist white people to get a chance at the spotlight, even with all the struggles they still paved the way for music today. But then comes along a white boy whose's entire career is based on the theft of the music black people fought for and it's called "Charisma". How Pathetic of you!

He was the personification of the "it factor", that charisma and boyish charm and confidence, can't be taught. Still the king.
Plus being a super diverse and dynamic singer. He checked off all the boxes.

He could have stepped into a time machine right then to 2021 and he’d still be a total boss. Wouldn’t have to change his look, moves, anything. He wouldn’t seem old fashioned or out dated, he’d immediately be the coolest person just as he was then.
I know. Definitely one of a kind
Absolutely!!!!
Yes! Definitely true
Meh. Not true imho.
Notice how artists today (The Weeknd and Bruno Mars) are heavily influenced by the past. I agree Elvis would still be super popular today
There’s nothing like this anymore

Anthony Ramirez and Chuck Berry
@@bmxultra2333 Don't you mean the Trump shitshow?
its always the domino effect... without A, no B, no C... and so on... But I would say that w/o The Beatles there would be no 1,400,000,0000 bands
His life went by so fast, he came out In 54, four years later he went in the Army, came back and went to Hollywood for just 7 years, in 68 he did a "comeback" special (as if he really needed it). And then ten short years later he died.
He wasn't with us very long at all
wow, the fact that this was almost 70 years ago and Elvis would be almost 90 if he were still alive is mind boggling.
At the very end he says "May God bless you, as He's blessed me." Elvis never forgot where he came from.
He died on the toilet reading a psychic sex book. Does that sound like a man of God, one of Christ's followers? The prince of this world offers fame fortune and power..
@@joeselsbury543 His core principle was forgiveness because he knew humans were imperfect.
At least, that was the version of Jesus I was taught about.
@@joeselsbury543 Were you with him, do you know what you were reading? you live in the middle ages.
His pre-army performances were Elvis at his purest and happiest, which is why I absolutely love watching his performances over and over again! Talent, looks, charisma - it's a shame they tried to tamp this energy down, and make him 'family friendly' then send him off to the Army when they couldn't do it - imagine how much more his star would have shown if the Colonel would have encouraged his talent rather than suppress it!
Elvis, Scotty, Bill, & DJ, the best ever lineup
Well said
“ oh that’s cool you’re part of Elvis‘s band what instrument do you play?”
“ I am the back up clapper”
It wasn't Colonel who suppressed him was it? I think that was just network TV and standards responding to the backlash among puritans who thought he was doing the devils work on their horny daughters.
Elvis was a patriot and willingly joined the military. He hated Communism, showed support for Richard Nixon during the Vietnam War and met with him at the White House. Elvis had no regrets about joining the military.
I can't tell you how happy I am that THAT happened on my birthday
Omg. It happened on my mom's birthday as well!!!!!!
@@michaelbradstreet3943 lucky gals we are
Just watching Elvis Presley makes me feel like I’m there in that studio watching him.
People need to understand what this video represents. You are seeing the first superstar in history. The moves he was doing on stage had never been seen before on television. They were common in the south (where he was from) but conservative adults had never seen anything like this. It was exceptionally provocative. MANY church groups, parents, conservatives rallied together to boycott Elvis. They even had a class-action lawsuit against the Ed Sullivan show for broadcasting "such filth". This is the birth of rock and roll. You hear those girls screaming constantly. This is really the first time that had happened in history, especially for television. Some doo-wop singers were famous/handsome and the girls would get excited over them but Elvis was such a different story. He was such a disruptor in the 50's and singlehandedly changed the culture of the nation.
If I recall correctly The Ed Sullivan show was made aware of the dance moves that Elvis was going to do and the FCC or someone wanted a close camera angle on his upper body so the audience at home would not be able to see the dance moves. I believe the show ignored that and showed his entire body, which results in an FCC lawsuit. I could be wrong about the details but I recall there was significant controversy PRIOR to the show deciding to go with that camera angle.
You can see that up until @1:13 they stay with a close shot and they INTENTIONALLY slowly pull back and then Elvis does his moves.
Elvis also keeps laughing while singing because this fangirl thing was new to the world. He likely thought it was ridiculous how crazy they were going.
True But he was basically prevailed
Agreed on everything except the "birth of rock and roll" part. This song, for example, was originally recorded by a black woman, Big Mama Thorton, and then they brought it to Elvis. It was common for white artists to crib from black music in order to mass commercialize it. I would say this performance was the birth of the first true pop star, but Elvis should not get credit for the birth of rock and roll.
After this appearance, At his next appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show: They cleaned up his look to be 'more conservative' and filmed him from the waist up.
@@emightis pretty sure back then it was dems mas.
“They were common in the south” and “conservatives protested” dont make sense, aren’t southerners conservative?
Elvis was the greatest.
Hi Maria,Truly how are you doing and were are you texting from?
Of all time
Every single photo or video he's in he shows so much charisma.
Sometimes I actually tear up watching his live performances. We don’t see artists like Elvis anymore, he had it all….authenticity, raw talent, genuine good looks, a sweet though tortured soul, no auto tuning, playful, fun and he loved his mama. Tragic he died so young. It would have been a privilege to see him grow old…he would have been such a handsome silver fox.
"May God bless you as He has blessed me." Just saw the movie. I am now obsessed with all things Elvis. He is truly THE KING !!!!!
Elvis was certainly blessed.
I saw the movie and I loved it and will go see it again. Elvis, like Parker said in the movie --"You are the greatest show on earth" with his first performance in Vegas.
Better late than never welcome to the faimly!
Its so funny to think that his dancing was considered risque back then. Like, he's just dancing there, grooving. The movie was more intense than this. Modern dancing would horrify them XD
Same hahaha
elvis: *speaks*
girls: *so you have chosen...deafness*

Lool
