First time ever Hearing ELVIS PRESLEY

- This is my first time ever hearing ELVIS Presley's voice and my first time actually hearing the song, You've lost that Lovin Feelin. I had recorded this before Bobby Hatfield's version of this and forgot to upload because it was on a different device.
Growing up, I knew the name and custom associated with the name largely due to cartoons back when I was little. His music was not pupolar in my part of the world but I knew he was a singer and so I had my own mental picture of how that voice sounded, according to the name and outfit. Boy! Hearing his voice for the first time is a COMPLETE shock cos it's a totally different sound that I had ingrained in my imagination over the years.

Finally someone who gets Elvis from a technical standpoint. Everybody and they Mamas are all about the lyrics, etc. You break it down like I do from the other side...the different techniques. Nobody gets it when I say I'm listening for the timing, the sound, the delivery...to me lyrics come last. It's all about the arrangement and the performance. PEACE #JustSub'd
Thanks a ton!!! 🙏. I appreciate your comment! 💕
I do that, I rarely listen to the lyrics at first. My Husband was a professional musician, he taught me to break every sound down, the timing, all of that. Like you, lyrics come last for me. Personally, I listen to the drums and Bass, my hubby played Bass and drums! That is where the timing is critical.
I agree Mike. I'm a new sub because of Christine's very detailed way of analyzing. She's awesome!
People loved ELVIS got his charisma as well as his vocal ability. Crossover I think refers to 2 different musical genres. Maybe soul & pop or blues and pop. Apparently he was the first white artist to have black backup singers and he certainly loved gospel.
He was a pacesetter therefore. Total respect to him🔥🔥🔥🔥
Not to mention, the most handsome man to walk this earth 🌎. 😍
The most handsome man to me, that walked the earth and I've seen his image, through loads of pictures and videos of his astounding performances is MARIO LANZA 💕💕💕💕.
Mario is handsome like 10 hotter than fire most handsome men in the universe 💃✌🏾❤️❤️❤️
@@clevec.claire , yes, that is true. He was one of Elvis' favorites.
Beautiful inside and out.
Girl, you got that right!!
Elvis was an emotional singer. He was all in. In his relatively short life he recorded over 850 songs covering all genres of music , so you have only just begun.
His life was short and yet he was able to achieve what sooo many struggle to achieve these days by hook, crook, gimmicks, Soul trading and all sorts. Some that were his peers and are still alive today, haven't achieved what the great Elvis achieved in his short life!!!
The lesson here for me on this is to know my purpose and walk boldly in it!!!!
The scary part, when I think of Elvis, his generosity, life, music and all, is I often wondered how he managed being humble with that superhuman gift and fame!!!! Perhaps if he had lived longer, he would have messed up BADLY. Just my thoughts.
@@christineokosun In 1974 Elvis and Led Zeppelin (a big time band not really of Elvis style for sure) found themselves in Los Angeles at the same time. So Led Zeppelin minus Bonham bought tickets and went to see Elvis perform The concert was recorded and in the background you can hear Elvis saying "Led Zeppelin is in teh audience, we have to at least look like we know what we are doing" and at another time "Led Zeppelin is here so we had better get this right" Here Elvis Presley is trying to impress Led Zeppelin.
Just got to watch this journey,Elvis is the GOAT as you will soon find out.🥇🌟
Saw Elvis live in 1973....WOW!!!
I did too..I saw him in Ohio..
Elvis interprets a song the way it's meant to be heard....and has the vocal quality to make it even better.
He was brilliant as a singer, he could tell a story and take you through the journey
Lovely Lady, you haven't even touched the dust of the of Elvis's overwhelming talent and versatiliry, more than anyone who has graced the earth. Only God could have given him this. But if I were you I wouldn't listen to Elvis a lot because it might be a journey you might not want to come back from. God bless you Girl..
Now your comment only ended up making me more intrigued and willing to explore more. Lool
There are not enough words to describe Elvis' talent and goodness.I will never leave his rabbit hole.
@Silk Grooves I love Marilyn Monroe she was very underrated actress. And she was very talented too. You can't really compare the two because the two different types of people and left different marks in this world.
I TOTALLY AGREE...I CAN SET AND WATCH HIM FOR HOURS ON ENDED... AND IF I GET STARTED IT'S USUALLY 5 OR 6 HRS..❤
His movements would never planned his body moved the way the music moved Him. That's what got him in trouble when he first started the music would move head to shake his legs and swivel hips hips people of that era called him vulgar they did not know what to make of him they did not understand that it was the music that was moving in but now we do he was pure
If only they could see into the future and see what vulgar is today. It's even being celebrated these days and they glory in it! Even today's level of Vulgarity would make Jezebel blush!!!!!
Elvis truly felt the music. His voice and his body naturally moved with that feeling. He was electric!
He is music personified. I have a tiny bit of beef for him. Lool. I guess he stayed too long on the queue to musical blessings in heaven when he was created.
Back then he would perform 2 or 3 times a night! Afternoon, evening show and a midnight show. This is unheard of today!! This man delivered !! Also, Tix for these shows in Las Vegas were less than $50 and that was with dinner and drinks!! No one in the music industry..top performers could ever do what he did..NEVER!!
You forgot to add that back then, they didn't have the vampire structured copyright laws that doesn't allow for enjoyment of good music, etc😳
I celebrate our differences too because without differences we would be on a boring planet. Music would be all the same and we'd all look the same.
Elvis is in my opinion the best singer performer ever. He sang rock, blues, rythm and blues, country, rockabilly, and gospel. There is no genre of music he couldn't sing.
Also he's just so beautiful to look at helps. I'd request American Trilogy to hear some powerful vocals. His gospel is heaven sent.
Apt!!! It would be very boring if we were all the same. Even the teeth in our mouths are different in size and density...made that way because collectively, it serves an harmonious function at the end.
I am super curious to explore his songs because I still reflect on this and I'm still having this first feeling of amazement at his voice!!!!
Thanks a lot for the suggestion. This is helpful 🙏
Count them.He had 50 different singing voices.He sang every note on the musical scale.He had perfect pitch.His groans grunts moans were to die for.His whistling and yodeling were beautiful.He had super breath control
He danced, sang, and played the guitar simultaneously.He could mimic the voices such as Johnny Cash and sing just like him and many others.He could hear a sonh o mnce and sing and play it.He played several instruments.He knew over 800 of his sings and just about everybody elses. He was the highest paid actor in Hollywood.Presidents would see him on a moments notice.Queens and princesses would visit him.He was double jointed and could turn his bidy into a pretzel.He popularized rock and roll to the masses and made it possible for black singers to become popular.He encouraged them and went out of his way to support their music
.He was highly intellegent, constantly re,ading and had a photographic memory.He was a child prodigy singing at age two.Every woman wanted to sleep with him.He was basically self taught on piano and guitar, etc. He did
not read music but had an impeccable ear.His voice was so strong and had so much range that opera singers recognized that he had more ability than they.His goal in life was to make people happy, giving his wealth to do so, and lead them to Jesus thriugh his music.He was very spiritual.Best looking and sexiest man to ever live. The most talented performer that ever was.He is unbeatable for all times.ever .Also served in the military..a man's man. Every person who met him loved him and said he was the most wonderful , charismatic person they ever met.You could feel his presence before he entered a room. He was knowledgeable on very deep subjects and could talk about anything.His standard of living improved when he moved to the getto at age 13 .Then his family had plumbing indoor.His father was a sharecropper.True rags to riches within two years of coming to the music scene.I could go on and on.Nobody ever like him.Not ever.
I love your observation
@@margarettaylor8107 You have said it all. Love from the UK.
@@margarettaylor8107
And his smile needs a firearm licence! 🤩
The thing about Elvis is that he never tried to sound black, he just grew up around black gospel and rhythm and blues (and country) and soaked it in almost by osmosis. In my opinion that is why he sounds authentic when signing blues standards like Reconsider baby or Stranger in my own hometown.
An excellent student by his own ears and a natural!
Love Elvis always beautiful inside and out
You said you listened to Bobby Hatfield one
One of the things that sets Elvis apart is he Always sounds like a man no matter what note he reaches for.
My God, he was beautiful! And such a nice man. I love your reaction.
Thank you so much!!!!
Really love your side notes on the left side throughout this! Very nice work. Love your reaction, thanks Christine!! 😊
My pleasure 💕
Loved your detailed reaction Elvis was unique a style like no other the best performer ever so charismatic best looking man ever thank you and please do more Elvis 😷✌👍
I certainly I'm going to do more of Elvis cos i can already tell it's going to be an exciting journey of learning from him for me.
Although this is a fantastic performance, this wouldn't have been my first choice to start listening to Elvis....you've missed almost 2 decades of Elvis music before the 70's. I think it's fun to start at the beginning to hear the growth & power in his voice....and of course, better recording equipment. But so happy to hear your reaction and knowledgeable input. Although it's a better reaction video with Elvis on screen, I strongly urge you to listen to recordings without Elvis's handsomness being a distraction. I strongly urge you to listen to the Elvis channel (Ch. 75 in U.S.) on Sirius radio....It's Elvis music 24/7. They also tell great stories about Elvis there. You can really get more into his vocal quality by just listening on the radio.
Wow! That was the most in-depth, intelligent reaction to Elvis I ever heard! You "get" him! That's why we still love him 43 years after his death. He was so versatile and original. Thank you for your comments. Please do more Elvis. I have subscribed.👍
I love her
I certainly would do more of him. I am in awe of his voice and also on a journey of learning from the old singers.
Awwwnnn thank you!!!!! 💞💞💞💞💞💞
Very intelligent lady , yes Elvis was the complete package did all music
You’ve only just begun down---or up the Elvis road don’t give up
Hi Chritine I'm new to your CZcams I'm a fan for over 50 yrs you mentioned he was soulful he grew up in Tupelo Missippi they were very poor he listened to black music as a child and his voice was never trained He was the King of Rock & Roll hope you keep doing his music 🎶 ❤
Noone is like him! Thank you for your lovely reaction! Please do more Elvis!
I shall certainly cos I am intrigued!
He was able to blend all of his different musical inspirations into 1 distinct style of his own. He wasn't purely any one style. When he did country you could hear the soul and the rock n roll. When he did ballads you could hear a real edge that had soul. He brought a little of everything to each song and style he performed.
Elvis was drawn to black gospel, blues, jazz, as a young man, and was very much at home in black church and Beale Street in Memphis, the blues, jazz, rockabilly, all this sound vocally, and through the soundscape, was as natural to him as breathing. He wasnt crossing over, this sound was always his, listen to his early Tutti Frutti(Little Richard), Hound Dog(compare to Big Mama Thornton), King Creole( released in 1958) even Thats All right Mama( compare to Arthur Crudup) and Chuck Berry's Maybelline. I think he'd take it as an awesome compliment to be considered to have a black sound.
I'll give a listening to your suggested songs. Tutti frutti especially, caught my attention because of the meaning I. e "All covered"
Elvis was way ahead of his time; he was able to adapt to the times like no other singers (performer) EVER could...that's why Elvis music of 60 years ago sounds like it was recorded yesterday; other singers with good voices (their songs) sounds just for their time (Era), name any singer who could sing Rock, Rhythm and Blues, Country, Gospel and whatever else and sound better than everyone else...Only Elvis; the complete package TEN TIMES over!
Amen!!! Well said 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
😀👏
Thanks Christine,❤The GOAT God bless you 🙏 amen ☝👍🌹❤👑 of music 💯 greatest voice ever.❤ 🤗🙋 Please be safe and careful stay healthy and your family,🇵🇷🇺🇸
Thanks a lot 🙏🙏🙏
You have discovered Elvis in the early 1970s. The amazing thing about him is that there are many versions of him. There is the 1950s Elvis. There is the 60s Elvis and there is the 1970s Elvis. All are vastly different and yet all are incredible because Real talent always shines through. Thanks again for your intelligent and insightful reaction video. Keep those Elvis videos coming. The “if I can dream“ video in his white suit from the 1968 come back special is extremely popular and shows Elvis In a new dimension where he tears the barriers down to race.
I received a few suggestions that I've included in my Elvis video list. I'm super excited to start them. 💃💃💃💃
Hi Christine. Check Out Elvis Singing SUSPICIOUS MINDS. Live From The INTERNATIONAL HOTEL IN VEGAS. 1970. The Energy Threw The Roof. Thanks . God Bless.
Elvis theatrics were spontaneous. He felt the music in his body and soul. He practiced arrangements constantly but often changed how he performed each song depending on how he felt. His philosophy was to give his fans new experiences and fresh arrangements.
He was born dirt poor in Tupelo Mississippi. I guess that's where the soulfulness comes from.
I guess our background helps in executing our emotions.
@@christineokosun , I LOVED what you put on the screen about celebrating our individualism and about what the evil media has done to cause division, hatred, and a false narrative of what humanity, society, and culture should be! Thank you!
@@johnbattles1002 thank you!
Blue eyed soul. That's what they used to say about the righteous Brothers. But Elvis grew up in housing projects with a lot of black children and he grew up in the Gospel Church. So his soul is as authentic as It gets.
Elvis didn't have to cross over to soulfulness. He was born into it. His performance isn't theatrics. It's quite natural and organic.
He is the perfect example of TALENT DOESN'T NEED GIMMICKS TO BE KNOWN 💯👌🏽
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯Facts!!!
I always find it strange that someone can reach adulthood and not have heard the voice of the greatest and most famous famous singer in history. Delve deeper because you are in for a treat. Happy days and pleasant nights to you. 😊 👑
He was truly blessed,every time I hear his voice he makes me cry with happiness.love the guy 🙏❤️💙🇺🇸
A great reaction to the amazing Elvis. Can you do "If I Can Dream" (white suit 68 Comeback Special)👍🤞✌️
Thanks for the suggestion. This is very helpful 👌🏽. A link would even be more super helpful cos depends on your geographical location, it could be a task combing through the videos that could pop up when I type just the title.
@@christineokosun czcams.com/video/u-pP_dCenJA/video.html
@@permit1860 Thanks👍
@@christineokosun "If I Can Dream" by Elvis is a must react to.
Love your comment about the "freedom" in his voice. He took it all over the place, high and low, soft and powerful.
That freedom and release is what unfortunately a LOT of modern day opera, classical and contemporary singers lack.
I wonder if he had some formal training (Bel-canto of old to be precise)
@@christineokosun I've never heard of any formal training, but I have heard that he listened to ALL kinds of music. Teaching himself imho.
Elvis Presley was 100% entertained by rhythm and blues singers of African descent! The 1st song that he saying in Sun records at the age of 18 before he was discovered was a rhythm and blue song written by people of colour. It was titled that's all right mama... His family lived in the same community. And he used to watch your Uncle's fingerpop and clap while singing rhythm and blues on their porch...
Hi. Don’t know if you can get this but I’m watching yours of How Great Thou Art and I’ve enjoyed him and this music since I was a young teenager. I feel the emotion that consumes you, the power of music, the message that fills all of you. He was truly a gift from GOD and I’m so happy I was here to share him. Bless you. Try You’ll Never Walk Alone.
Enjoy him as I did, he was his music no matter what genre he went to, he was always grateful he could bring it to all fans and no matter how much anyone tried to stop him, he gave s thanks to GOD that he was spared at birth to be able to share it with the world and now almost 50 years later I can relive that time, I have him again for awhile and I can watch all of you bringing him and his music, which is one, watching him give his all to fans around the world and giving thanks to his God every time.
Thank you for your appreciation.💕💕
Only the finest sang with Elvis they impressed him and made him bring it all the more one can see the delight and pride he takes in his entire band.
I love to watch someone such as yourself discover Elvos . his talent is timeless
Elvis
Well said! Timeless talent!!!!
Welcome to the Elvis family . Much love from Michigan
Thanks a lot 💃💃💃💃🙏🙏🙏
Oh Christine thank you for sharing your wonderfull reaction in this amazing video! I love Elvis! Kisses from Brazil 🇧🇷😘
Thanks a lot for your generous compliments. I am glad I got to hear how he sounds 💃💕💞
Same concerts
Suspicious Minds
Bridge over Troubled water
In The Ghetto
Polk Salad Annie
Just Pretend
Sweet Caroline
and "Love Me Tender"
You will be amazed and you won't believe your eyes when he sings "Love Me Tender"
He could change between a rock song and a ballad within seconds.
He was t h e chameleon in music business
But a must is " If I Can Dream " and anything else from the '68 Comeback Special (Elvis in black leather 🔥🔥🔥)
I've seen IF I CAN DREAM suggested a couple of times. I would like to try that soon.
Thanks a ton for your suggestions 🙏
You're very welcome!
Still the King in music.... long may he reign
That was so fun. Don’t quit now. I’m subscribing. My suggestion is to start in 1956 and get to know him how we did. Your channel, your choice, but he was a gift from God.
I actually commented through Chrome two days ago and I'm shocked to see nothing.
I am on a journey to learn about singing from the old ( Classical, opera, rock etc as long as I can hear good chest coordination). There is always something to learn from the oldies.
I'm TOTALLY in awe of his voice. I'm on the Elvis train already💯💞
I00% agree! I keep suggesting that to people that are just now discovering and reacting to the '68- Vegas Elvis videos (because they are visually impactful), that they need to start at the beginning Elvis. Some don't seems to realize that by the time they get to the Vegas years, they've missed almost 2 decades of Elvis. I feel strongly that new fans need to start studying him from the early years to hear the growth of his voice to full maturity (and recording quality). I listen daily to Elvis radio on Sirius and it so nice just to listen to the vocal quality without the distraction of the video & his good looks. I've been listening to Elvis for 60+ yrs and there's always something new to discover within his "instrument"....it NEVER gets old!
Gigi Moore I could not have said that better. That young man set the world on fire.
@@patticriss2238 Yes he did....and my flame still burns warmly! I think that I appreciate him more & more everyday!
He has a lot of songs for you to react to. "One night with you" from his '68 Comeback Special., and Suspicious Minds , live.
When he first came out they thought he was black lol he had soul
Deep, rich soul that is authentic and not regurgitated 💥💥.
Another version of this song was done in 1980 by another blue-eyed soul duo - Daryl Hall and John Oates if you want to look it up. They keep the soul in it but add a bit of rock too. They had many hits between 1973-the 90's and still tour together or apart or have been on Daryl's award winning online streaming show, Live From Daryl's House. Definitely something to look into. Even reruns are great. You can find them on CZcams. My mom taught me about Elvis I believe when I was 5 when bought me his Gold Records album and his Christmas album. I listened to it over and over. She had been around during the time he became famous and told me about how he couldn't be shown from the waist down on 50's tv because of decency regulations. I even watched his movies. After he died, I was 7, she bought special edition double records with his life story and rare pictures and rare recordings in the collections. He was amazing even to a little girl from the East Bay Area in California.
Oh you have SO much more to enjoy, his Aloha Hawaii satellite concert has great video and sound and so many good performances that show his amazing voice
Subbed for more Elvis reactions ^^. Try bridge over troubled water live in 1970. You will not be disappointed!
Thanks a lot💃💃🙏
I love when he adlibs the line "Listen to me talking to you"
Just The King
Elvis was far from the cartoon that was made of him!!! He was Pure talent, this mas had everything The first performer of the Modern world! He was the original everything and everyone came from and after him... everyone. Love more reactions.
He was a bundle of energy his whole life set to music which he always moves to. He states he couldn’t stay still while singing. He’d have to snap his fingers, tsp his foot or clap his hands. Sometimes all three!
Great vid! If you really want to get a good grasp on Elvis' vocal range, I would suggest "What Now My Love" 1973 Aloha performance, "Hurt" and "Unchained Melody" 1977. He also did a lot of Gospel as well you would enjoy. As for theatrics, "Polk Salad Annie" and "Suspicious Minds" (both in Las Vegas 1970). PAX.
Thanks a lot!!! 🙏🙏🙏And especially for the pointers. They are very much appreciated 🙏🙏🙏
Most music has been inauthentic since Elvis's death for me. I rarely listen to any other music because Elvis could sing the phone book and had a song for every mood.
Elvis being Elvis was his niche. 😍 Yes, Elvis was the original "crossover" artist......he brought black music to white audiences. Many black artists of the day thank Elvis for helping them to get on the "musical map".
And some still say he stole from the black musicians.
It's ridiculous!
Check out suspicious minds live in Vegas
By this same singer? I will!
@@christineokosun Yeah it’s by Elvis
@@harksofficial3532 great!! Thanks a lot for the suggestion 🙏🙏

Thank you!!!! 💕💕💕💕
@@christineokosun No Thank you!!!!💞
That's what people thought in 1954!!! His mother was currently working in a sandwich shop. The radio was on and a co-worker was shocked when his mom said "that's my son!" The other lady, who was black, said "that can't be your son; he's black." His mother said "no he's not, and that's my son." LOL
Back then, he was a teenager, so his voice was a lot higher. But that you heard it when he was 35 . . . amazing!
He grew up in black neighborhoods, and attended both white and black churches and all-night sings.
It's terrible to be poor, but he got one thing from being poor. His music, especially gospel and spirituals.
part of what you may be calling 'black sound' is EP's (maybe a good part) is his mississippi/memphis southern accent. AND, IT IS VERY BECOMING FOR HIS VOICE.
What's an EP please?
@@christineokosun EP is Elvis' initials.😊
6:39 If this suite wasn’t too tight lol Elvis added that part himself 😂
😂😂😂😂 He knows how to draw his audience in and keep them entertained 💞💞💞
He always threw ad libs in a song here or there. Sometimes it was just to see if those of us in the audience were paying attention. Lol.
Interpretation of a song was the forte of Elvis apart from his voice of course.
Ohhh I love his voice!!! I didn't expect that sound!!!

Thanks a lot for this suggestion. This is the second time this is coming up! 💞
I love your description! WoW! Thanks a lot for your reaction! I hope you do more Elvis! Happy christmas! XX
A happy new year in advance 💞💞. I certainly would.
So interesting to hear you say his voice sounds black. That was, after all, his essence in the beginning - his first record company owner (Sam Phillips) looking for a white boy that sounded black... the crossing or racial barriers because early radio listeners thought he was black, etc. And it has become the legend of the birth of rock n roll. White or black, we all agree on one thing - he sounds goooood!
Blue-eyed soul!
I loved your entire commentary. Welcome to the Elvis fan club. Also you are correct. The media creates the tension between races. I think most of us would be happy with a hug and to get on with life without any animosity. Great review!
Exactly!! and the worse part is other people wanting to push their race agenda unto you. Especially on platforms like this. Making me want to walk on tight ropes that I have no intention to even look at and then wanting to call me names for refusing to hug such cancerous thoughts and mentality. I cannot take ibuprofen for another person's headache.
@@christineokosun ❤️
He added "If the suit wasn't too tight" after {Babe Babe, I would get down my knees for you}
🤣🤣🤣🤣. Yes that part was funny!!!
Elvis grew up with Southern black church singing and preaching
THE KING
Elvis was born and raised in a Black ghetto... His culture was a cocktail of Black and White, church and secular. He was brilliant at many different genres.
Let's just say someone that is greater than u and I. Especially me
I don't understand 😇
PLease react to "If I Can Dream" to see one of the best examples of his fantastic vocal ability.
Thanks a lot for the suggestion 🙏
Thanks a lot for the suggestion.
The people got it so WRONG; Elvis never tried to sound Black or White, he just sang every song with his feelings and emotions...Elvis CHANGED the CULTURE (Only of a kind), he's responsible for the way we speak, the way we dress, his respect for his fellow human beings...Elvis STARTED trends; he NEVER followed trends 👍
Kenneth!!!! Champagne bottles for you!!!!! 🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾. Thank you!!!! You Accurately expressed my exact thoughts that I couldn't express with your comment!!! 💞💞💞💞💞.
Christine; you're so genuine (Praise the Lord) just like Elvis...When you get into a little more in debt with the King's music; you'll realize how he (genuine) could and did TEASED his audience (especially the ladies) slowing down the song or speeding up, holding back the lyrics (standing still and just waiting with a smile), shaking the voice (up or down)...That's only with his voice; but then he'll play with his body (the legs, hips, lips, any part), when he hears all the screaming; just check out the smile or grin on his face 😀
I like MJ, The Beatles, AC/DC and opera and much more, but I LOVE Elvis!!!
What's your favourite Elvis song?

Engelbert Humperdinck-After the lovin
Why wasn't he big in Africa when he was loved all over the world
Apprently, he was big before my generation. I had to do a mini survey across various age groups and discovered that most senior citizens knew him in my country for instance and at one time, the men dressed like him which I found hilarious considering the obvious different hair textures for one.
From the late 70's, his popularity was already declining and some some have never heard of him. Children born form the 80's to 2000's that knew him as a singer other than a familiar face that is being depicted in cartoons for instance, were children whose parents exposed his music to.
What until you hear "In the ghetto"!.....Also I have a dream!

"Blue-eyed soul"
NO AUTO-TUNE!
GOD given talent!
Elvis has many good songs, rock n roll ,soul country, and gospel great dance moves too. Check out Suspicious Minds Las Vegas version, Jailhous Rock, Hound Dog, Polk Salad from Vegas to name a few.
It is called "Blue Eyed Soul."
Thanks 🙏🙏
Please check out "I Want You, I Need You, I Love You" by Elvis from 1956. He was barely 21, the plane traveled in to the recording session almost crashed, and Elvis didn't feel that well, but he was still able to record this beautiful song! His voice hadn't quite matured, but he was just getting started.
Thanks a lot for the suggestion 💃💃💃🙏
"Blue-eyed soul" is the term you're searching for...
Thank you!
I think the phrase you're looking for is: "blue-eyed soul." By the way, he did have blue eyes. And if you want to see some real energy, watch him when he was about twenty-one!
Yes! Thats it! Thank you!!
