He had Elvis voice down perfectly. Hard to believe this is Andy talking and singing.

Elvis Presley himself gave him a 👍 that's a high enough authority to accept his impersonation. Good job Andy Coffman.

Kaufman did it comically in mannerisms but sang it straight. Of course this isn't close to sounding like.Elvis.

Good way of putting it, I'm a big Elvis fan and totally agree with you.!

One of the few geniuses who drew the line that he walked on

Andy Kaufman knew he did not have the handsomeness Elvis had, the extent of his talent, but he had talent, and a beautiful singing voice. He captured what Elvis sang, think he would be impressed, and I am too. I think Andy Kaufman did not get the recognition he deserved. ❤From A Nashville Girl❤

The best impersonator of Elvis I’ve ever heard

He does a beautiful Elvis impersonation! He has a great voice! ❤ it!!!

Rest in peace Elvis and Andy

I have watched this video so many times. He did it perfect. RIP Andy

It's hard not to love this one. I thought his comedy was great, but I really enjoy his impersonations of Elvis best.

You have to feel it to do it this well. Andy was feeling it, for sure.

He trolled everyone, except for Elvis. He took Elvis very seriously.

I had forgotten just how great of an Elvis impersonator Andy was 👏🏻🥰‼️ It’s been a long time since I last saw him do this.

❤😂🎉 Great impression! Rest in Paradise Andy.👌👍😃

Guy was scary good at this!

Andy sure got even better the more he did Elvis

Great sound, had to play it twice. Andy and Elvis both great entertainers. Thanks for the ride boys. T.

ELVIS was the 1st to do the super hero landing that Andy imitates so brilliantly at the end! Bravo Rip Andy and Elvis!

Truly, he is just next to Elvis; yet, he is the best among all impersonayors of Elvis. Love him a lot.

Elvis had more octaves, better vibrato and smoother sound along with a much stronger voice.

Absolute rubbish. He’s just an impersonator out of tens of thousands.

I've never seen this before. Thank you so much !!!

It takes nothing but music appreciation to love this version of Andy's just the way the King did it.

I watched this on the old black and white! I remember it *very* well and the fact this was a song on the first album I ever purchased at 6 years old: ELVIS' Golden Records. Top notch salute to The KING by Mr. Kaufman!!! 👑 ✨️ *T⚡️C⚡️B* ✨️ 👑

Same here. I wore out that cassette tape. I must have been 6 or 7 as well.

I enjoyed watching this for the first time back in 1979 at my grandfathers home on his big fancy console floor model RCA color TV, a big deal back then especially when we only had about a 19 inch Black and white TV lol. And now 45 years later, it's still great to watch, and not only that it was a hoot watching Andy on Taxi. Thanks for the recording, it save me from doing it myself on Audacity. One more thing, if you didn't grow up in the 1970's, you sure missed a lot...my favorite decade!

I just love this tribute from Andy to Elvis...He was great... Not trying to outdo Elvis because let,'s face it ...there was and never again be another Elvis...He was so special....had the privilege of seeing Elvis in person twice ... Loving Elvis always ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ And loving This tribute ....

I just watched the movie Elvis. After watching his last performance this video popped up. I was expecting Andy Kaufman to do a funny impersonation instead he was serious in his role as Elvis and what a spectacular performance it was. They were both one of a kind and are missed by many. Cheers to them both. - Adam in Tacoma

Andy loved Elvis. Great impersonation!

I'm 48 and French but honest, I'm not surprised that Andy Kaufman was Elvis's favourite impersonator because not only his "impersonation" wasn't much of an impersonation in the humorous meaning of the word but more of a genuine interpretation with a thin trait of humour and his voice and singing skills were actually much closer to Elvis's than any other Elvis's impersonator. He made them look like parrots but without forcing it like with the hair for instance. Andy doesn't overdo it, He takes the stage doing an idiot, places his wig on stage and off he goes with a great interpretation. To me, Elvis is not even the most important part in his impersonation. That's the greatness of Andy Kaufman. The king comes second.

He really did love Elvis, Andy is putting his heart and soul into this act !!!

Dang! I didn't know Andy was that talented. 😊

Brilliant thanks

Such a funny man. I will never understand why he had leave us so soon. So sad!!!

A talented man.

WOW! GOOD JOB ❤

Andy Kaufman did a outstanding performance. And remarkable vocals as well. A feel,Elvis impersonaters don't have to look or move like the king of rock roll. I heard from a source. Do it right and you'll do a good job.

Genius

Hi, this message is to those who thinks that THIS COMEDIAN is making an impression or imitation ON ELVIS. He is not making that. Those who were born before 1970 know who was Andy and why he tried to make those "funny" shows... He was an Elvis fan, appeared in "Saturday night" and "Johnny Cash", "Letterman"... Have you guys watched the movie called "Man on the moon"? (Jim Carrey) Please watch it, and you will understand about Andy and NOOOT making an impression on Elvis...Kaufman first received major attention for his character "Foreign Man", who spoke in a meek, high-pitched, heavily accented voice and claimed to be from "Caspiar", a fictional island in the Caspian Sea. This is what you can see in his many videos about Elvis, he loved Elvis, and laughed at Elvis impersonators... It was as this character that Kaufman convinced the owner of the famed New York City comedy club The Improv, Budd Friedman, to allow him to perform on stage. As Foreign Man, Kaufman would appear on the stage of comedy clubs, play a recording of the theme from the Mighty Mouse cartoon show while standing perfectly still, and lip-sync only the line "Here I come to save the day" with great enthusiasm. He proceeded to tell a few (intentionally poor) jokes and concluded his act with a series of celebrity impersonations, with the comedy arising from the character's obviously hopeless ineptitude at impersonation. For example, in his fake accent Kaufman announced to the audience, "I would like to imitate Meester Carter, de president of de United States" and then, in exactly the same voice, say "Hello, I am Meester Carter, de president of de United States. T'ank you veddy much." At some point in the performance, usually when the audience was conditioned to Foreign Man's inability to perform a single convincing impression, then because he knew Elvis songs, and hating impersonators used "Foreign Man" would announce, "And now I would like to imitate the Elvis Presley", turn around, take off his jacket, slick his hair back, and launch into a rousing, hip-shaking rendition of Elvis singing one of his hit songs. Like Elvis, he took off his leather jacket during the song and threw it into the audience, but unlike Elvis, Foreign Man would immediately ask for it to be returned. After the song's finale, he would take a simple bow and say in his Foreign Man voice, "T'ank you veddy much". He was just a comedian, a bad comedian OF COURSE... Although Kaufman made a name for himself as a guest on NBC's Saturday Night Live, his first prime-time appearances were several guest spots as Foreign Man on the Dick Van Dyke variety show Van Dyke and Company in 1976. He appeared four times on The Tonight Show in 1976-78, with "Foreign Man" doing his imitation of Johnny Carson's sidekick Ed McMahon, with no change in voice: "Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. How hot was eet. Ha ha ha." Kaufman also appeared three times on NBC's late-night concert series The Midnight Special in 1972, 1977, and 1981 Kaufman appeared on The Dating Game in 1978, in character as Foreign Man, and cried when the bachelorette chose Bachelor #1, protesting that he had answered all the questions correctly, In August 1969, he hitchhiked to Las Vegas to meet Elvia, showing up unannounced at the International Hotel. He was not a REGULAR Elvis's impersonator, just TRYING to make a DIFFERENT impression on Elvis, and LAUGHED those who tried to make an impression ON Elvis, no one can be like Elvis, he was not laughing at ELVIS, but laughed at impersonators. He made a ridiculous impersonator as we can find when someone trying to be like Elvis, there is only one Elvis... If you guys want further information about Andy, just watch it in Netflix documentary about Andy... starring Jim Carrey... Hope you guys now can understand that this is nothing to do with imitation or a PERFECT impression of Elvis. Andy was an Elvis fan and hated Elvis impersonators.
