Elvis Presley reaction, reaction to How The Web Was Woven, Elvis reaction, Elvis Presley songs, - Hudba
This is one of those songs that paints a beautiful picture in your mind. Elvis singing this makes you feel like you haven't got a worry in the world. Love it too Seph, great reaction ❤
It's crazy how modern songs from this album sounds. This could easily be on the radio today and people wouldn't think it was recorded over 50 years ago
It’s much better than anything on the radio today.
"The Next Step Is Love" is a song written by Paul Evans and Paul Parnes and originally recorded by Elvis Presley in 1970
The greatest singer ever recorded. This album proves it. Criminal that this doesn't get more recognition. The live performances are divine.
Elvis always surprises. One artist with many facets. Never boring. You'll really see that when you start listening to the live concerts. One of my favorite albums.
Elvis is the poet of music! Each line reverberates an emotion with meaning. Poetic Justice of a musical genius!
De una cancion promedio , elvis , la tranformaba en joya , la forma de abordar un tema y darle su version es fabuloso❤
He did this live, but not for long because he felt he didn’t get a great feedback from the audience. He could always tell how they reacted to a song he did. There is another song he actually talks about too many words in it. Can’t remember it vi heard it on Elvis’s 1970 marathon album on the Elvis In Nashville album. It’s his recordings of all these songs and the finished product before anything is added shows off his voice beautifully and the sessions are funny. Thanks so much again. 😊😊❤❤❤❤
Singing perfect with his Beautiful Voice ❤❤❤
A song that I adore Seph - so much so that it is my ringtone on my mobile and has been for quite a few years - so glad you liked it. Anoter example of how good this album is!
The penultimate track on the excellent 1970 album "That's The Way It Is" was "The Next Step Is Love" a song which describes the carefree feeling that the beginning of love in a relationship can produce. It was recorded by Elvis on 7 June 1970 at RCA's Studio B in Nashville.
The process to get the final RCA master was not quite straightforward though, and a listen through the recording process shows that even the most gifted in their craft can still struggle at times. Elvis struggling to get the phrasing just right in two particular points in the song but bit by bit with some determination fixes them one at at time. By the time of take ten, Elvis manages a complete take with one of the points sorted and then by the next take in addition to a tweak to the intro, the master is achieved. Throughout the process however, Elvis' frustration is evident but is still determined to get it right and the end result is superb with Elvis' vocal so relaxed he is almost horizontal!
Thank you for this Leon
Love it ❤
Elvis' voice is perfection! Love this ❤❤❤❤❤!
BANGER BANGER All DAY LONG!!! Great song, sung beautifully by The Elvis. 👑😍 ❤
The co-writer for The Next Step is Love is Paul Evens. Paul also co-wrote Elvis’ I Gotta Know and Something Blue. Paul’s best known songs are probably Bobby Vinton’s Roses Are Red My Love and Helen Shapiro’s No Trespassing. The Next Step Is Love is an Elvis original, with no versions by other artists. Here is Paul Evan’s demo used to present the song to Elvis for consideration. czcams.com/video/TT-3du653NU/video.html
This glorious song has a carefree vibe and as always sung perfectly by Elvis. ❤
This is one of my favorites songs ! It sounds so modern! ELVIS could sing all types of music! ❤
A rare time a song begins with the chorus instead of the verse. Elvis's phrasing in this song adds much appeal to this masterpiece of a 70's pop ballad!
Never heard anyone sing as good as Elvis love him to death the greatest there ever was or ever will b thank u so much for ur channel and ur wonderful reactions u r just grest❤❤❤❤
Omg!!! Keep listening to this album!!!
He could do no wrong in 1970.
"But we've yet to taste the icing on the cake that we've been baking with the past."
Sounds like MacArthur Park.
I was thinking the same and this is the first time I realized that!
@@lindabratcher4457 Remember during the 1968 Special he jokingly sang some lines from MacArthur Park?
It sounds like it was recorded yesterday, so fresh
Yes! This could probably be played on the radio today and it would sound modern :D
Love Elvis an this song,
Sammeeeeeee :D
Seth, your Beatle reference was spot on. Just came across this: “The Next Step Is Love” stepped out of the strict country agenda, matching a well-crafted tune with a curiously overreaching lyric (“We’ve yet to taste the icing on the cake that we’ve been baking with the past”); with its Beatlesque production (in the midst of a batch of American roots music!) it was the most un-Presleyan cut on the sessions.”
I love this song--Elvis sings it in a way that fits the feeling of the song-carefree, walking through the park, so in love you act silly and don’t care what people think…the next step is love!💕
Really nice even the Beatles wish they could do a song this good and that's saying something.
This is an iconic song. I love the way E sings this. Truly very special. The brass section superb too 🎷🎺📯 Well Seph, there's always something new we learn about The Elvis, even in the sound of his voice or in a song! Amazing man. Very nice reaction. A Rank! 🥇🥇🥇
Love this song. His voice is so soulful & beautiful 😍❤️
I’m so glad you enjoyed this one! Elvis sounds like he’s having fun with it. Now this song I’d love to have him sing to me! He has an amazing talent of making the songs personal, like he was singing right to us!
Great song and great lyrics. Elvis sings with such feeling. 🎶🎵🎙❤Thank you for reaction Seph😊
Amazingly, the studio tracks on this album, almost the entire Elvis Country album and the entire Love Letters album were recorded during one marathon session.
Elvis sings tons of songs that have quicker and more difficult word combinations to navigate.
Great song ❤
Elvis was known to always prefer a bit faster pacing than most. If you listen to rehearsals and studio sessions he's always talking about the music lagging.
'Yesterday I slipped away as the sun was (is) welcoming the evening shadows of a perfect day.' I think Elvis had trouble getting these words out. He did have a slight speach impedement and stutter. In the film Fun in Acapulco, he struggles to say 'Coca-Cola'. And in the On Tour 72' out-take interview he has trouble with the word 'Choreographer.' In the Dylan song Tomorrow is a Long Time, Dylan clearly sings 'If today was not an endless highway,' - whereas Elvis bunches the words together in his version, so it sounds like: 'If today was not 'in this' highway.' All part of his genius and charm, I think.
I didnt know this!
On a sidenote i'm actually rather looking forward to watching all his interviews and going through his life story :D
Great song, funny in rehearsals from the movie of "That's the way it is" 😂
Good night, Seph 🏃♀️😜❤
"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself."
-George Bernard Shaw
This is 1 of my favorite albums steph
I love the songs i've heard so far :D
Seph, this album brings a list of songs that were modern at the time. These are current songs with super modern and well-produced arrangements. Elvis reinvented himself to follow the hits of the time, and release the songs from his new, very successful tour in Las Vegas. The public and critical success was so great that it generated a film of the tour.
OMG Seph a Triple Banger 💣💣💣 💯 agree with you - I absolutely love this song especially when you listen to all the takes of the song and hear how Elvis was struggling with some of the phrasing but he eventually gets it to how he wants it to sound and was spot on. It sounds like a lovely fun, happy pop song (and does have a Beatles vibe). I am sad though cos there is some great footage of him rehearsing this in That's The Way It Is that really goes with the song - much prefer seeing him singing than just the audio. Great reaction though 👑💛⭐
Stranger in the crowd, another good one Seph?
Love this 🔥🔥🔥
Nice reaction Seph.
I'm glad you loved this song seth Love it also there's also a rehearsal version in the film elvis that's the way it is and of course he does it live
It's so cool!
I Have This Original Album When It First Came Out 1 Of His Best. Love This Song Also Came Out As A Single 45 The Flip Side Of I’ve Lost You Another Great Song. Didn’t Matter Fast Or Slow Elvis Vocals Matched Like No Other Performer. Thanks Really Liked Your Reaction On This One.
Paul Parnes up first: B. January 12, 1925- D. August 24, 2017
Paul Parnes is a writer and composer who, with Paul Evans, wrote several popular 60s pop songs, including the Elvis Presley tune "The Next Step Is Love." Parnes wrote "I Love a Waltz" and "Two Heads Are Better Than One" for Sesame Street and supplied music and lyrics for the albums Getting Ready for School and Big Bird Discovers the Orchestra.
Parnes also wrote dialogue for several children's record albums, including one featuring Jay Ward's Bullwinkle Show characters.
Paul Evans Info second up: Paul Evans (born March 5, 1938)[1] is an American rock and roll singer and songwriter, who was most prominent in the 1950s and 1960s. As a performer, he had hits with the songs "Seven Little Girls Sitting in the Backseat" (his biggest hit, recorded with The Curls), reaching No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1959), "Midnight Special" and "Happy-Go-Lucky Me".
Evans had a sizeable hit in the UK and Australia in 1978-79 with the morbid country song "Hello, This Is Joanie" (as it was titled on the New Zealand pressing released by Polydor Records) or, as it was known on a Spring Records release, "Hello, This is Joannie (The Telephone Answering Machine Song)".[1][2] In a 2004 interview Evans revealed that the voice of Joannie was provided by country artist Lea Jane Berinati.[3]
Evans also had minor hits with "After the Hurricane" which hit No.2 on April 8, 1961 on Vancouver's CFUN chart, and "Feelin' No Pain" which hit No.23 on Canadian CHUM charts.
As a songwriter Evans' songs were performed by numerous performers, including Elvis Presley, Jimmy Dean and Pat Boone. His most successful songs were "Roses Are Red (My Love)", which was a number one hit for Bobby Vinton in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100; and by Ronnie Carroll in the UK reaching no. 3 in 1962; and "When" a chart topper in the UK Singles Chart and #5 in the U.S. for The Kalin Twins.

Interesting Side Note: Paul Evans & Paul Parnes were a noted songwriter duo back in the day however there is no mention of that on Paul Evans's Wiki page.
And that is all I've got for this one- I think anyway!
Crazy about him doing kids tv stuffsssss then THIS! Kinda left field xD
🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
@@SephPlays Yep! I was like, "Wait a darn- tootin' second here... That's one heck of a musical background to have to come up with this!"
Thanks Seph! Gold stars 🌟👑🌟 to you as well 😊💗💕
That Wa Wa sound on the Guitar was created by what they used to call a WaWa Peddle, you hooked it up to an electric guitar 🎸. Then used your foot on the peddle to make that sound ❤
penny lane
Souds like the horns from penny lane i think
I think it's Penny Lane too!! Thank you Brandon :D
Steph.... ain't nothin wrong with some guitar Wah-peddle 🤘
I love the 70's Wahhhhhhhhh :D
Yes I totally thought it sounded like a Beatles song too. Just when the horns played. I couldn’t think of the song either.
👑✌️
The horns have a Penny Lane Beatlesque sound
Hey, Seph
You are so right.
It sounds like
The Beatles
Sgt Peppers
Lonely Heart Club Band
it's the trumpets in the background
brilliant - so difficult to sing - voice / breath control is amazing. Seph, you'll notice the start of this, most is in the one breath. Crazy to keep in tune doing that lol. You'll enjoy this part rehearsal / part live edit
czcams.com/video/Vy7Y2qUq_bQ/video.html
Well sung, pleasant ballad! The lyrics have me perplexed forever. Same writer as (the also wordy) Blue River, I Gotta Know & Something Blue.
I do not know the British songbook well, Seph, but your musical ear is uncanny: "'...with its Beatlesque production it was the most un-Presleyan cut on the sessions." - A Life In Music
Ya definitely sounds kinda like penny lane in some sections 😂
6:17 penny lane?
OHHH!! Very possibly!
Can't believe some people bagging this song?but each to there own.
Banger 2 times.Love your reactions. Please react to aloha from hawaii live concert.please. 1973. When you get to 73.
There are about 70 songs to cover before then although some are duplicates - so don't hold your breath 🙂
@@gorse9030ok seph
I do apologise in advance but i'm not listening to "Repeats" of songs i have already heard *YET*
Once i have reached 1977 then i will be going back and doing all the performances and even be taking Elvis requests :D
Annndddd you shocked me AGAIN!
Criminy!
A Rank?
Okay... No I'm not gonna cry... Not gonna cry... Not gonna cry...
I'll choose to laugh later.
While indulging in some gastronomic balm (good thing I made banana chocolate muffins 🎶Yesterday🎶).
Totally respect your opinion Seph, absolutely totally respect your opinion!
And I do hear what you are hearing.
The lyrics to me are like the B- Rate version of "Brown Eyed Girl" by Jim Morrison. (One of my face songs actually that one).
No, it is not a Beatles song. Actually one of the songwriters used to be a composer/ songwriter for Sesame Street back in the 1960's, believe it or not.

Elvis Extra: July, After the marathon session, 35 masters in 5 days, in Nashville, Elvis enjoyed himself until he had to go west for the upcoming Las Vegas engagement. On June 22 he bought three snow mobiles, which were able to drive the Graceland grass. He went to Nashville, maybe to review and repair some recordings, he stayed in Dallas for a couple of days and flew back to Memphis as 'John Carpenter', together with Richard Davis and Charlie Hodge. Until he went to California he saw screenings in the Memphian every night.
SUPERB REACTION SEPH 👏👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹🌹🙌💃🙌💃🙌💃🙌💃🔥🔥🔥🔥👑👑👑👑🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I'M SO HAPPY THAT YOU HAVE FOUND ELVIS BANGERS IN THIS BUNCH 💖💖💖💖😊👍
TCB ⚡ & TLC ❤ & peace ✌& blessings 🙏 to you & yours & to one & all here as well 💕
Sesame Street, i wouldnt have guessed this!?
So i'm guessing you dont like this one? I couldnt get a read from you? You kinda sound like you love it but also come across as not really liking it haha
And thank you for this Sammy! All this in 5 days is pretty darn insane in my opinion!
gollddddd ssssttarrrsssssss 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
@@SephPlays The lyrics remind me of a song I absolutely love as I have said. So I'm kinda torn on this one in that regard.
NOW the production on this one is Chef's 💋👌 Felton Jarvis knew what he was doing on this one. Well him & whomever wrote the band arrangements & brass & string arrangements. Very 1970's yes, but a well done arrangement & production all around that has a solid classic vibe to the recording.
My very humble opinion only Seph & Thank you so much!
I do try! Haha!
You're a hard man to keep up with these days but I do give it my very best 😃💖🙌
P.S. I meant FAVE song! Ugh! Stupid typos 😒
Did you play the song Charley singing with Elvis?
/
Could the Beatles song this reminds you of be Strawberry Fields Forever?
I think it's more Penny Lane then strawberry fields in my opinion
@@SephPlays Yes, that’s it.
Hmmm. .. to rank this song over songs like "bridge over troubled water" and "suspicious minds"??? To be honest, it's one of the few 70s songs that i DON'T have on my playlist! For me it's a bit boring, the instrumentation sometimes weird , but the biggest point is, that in this one i somehow can't "feel" him. But i must say that i often can't understand your rankings. In your "A" rank i don't like "memories" and "suspicion" either. On the other hand I like for example "I'll be there", "Memphis Tennessee" or "release me" (and some other ones)which you all ranked "E". From the "D" section i would rank "only the strong survive", "reconsider baby", "take my hand precious lord" and "Danny boy" at least "B"... What can I say ? Tastes are different.... 😉
You do seem to have the same tastes as the large majority of Elvis fans looking at the way you rank songs. Maybe it's because i didnt grow up with these songs? Maybe it's because i've only heard most of these just the once.
Could be many different reasons.
But it would be soooooooo boring if everyone on the planet liked the same songs. We would never experience anything new ya know?
@belinda35_77 that's a joke right????
It sounds a little like Penny Lane for me ...
You took my comment before I could write it SEPH, Paul McCartney type of song in the feels, but it wasn't. An ok song but nothing special imo.
Tut Tut Tut Belinda. HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE THIS SONG!??? What the hellllllllllllll! Neverr ever everrrrr talking to you again :P
Love ya really :P
Welllllll I'm not talking to you moreeeeeeeeee so there
XX
I'll say about this song..... It's sweet, but kinda schlocky AM radio style. I don't dislike it but it's I guess high grade filler.
Gorgeous..... absolutely delicious vocals, as always. The King! The ELVIS 🙌🏼💯⚡❤️
You have ranked this song wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too high. You passed a couple hundred much better songs.
Decent song. Not one of his best, but Elvis delivered a brilliant vocal performance. It's got a Beatles / Penny Lane kind of horn section. It goes in the Top 150-200 range.
