In 1959 , Elvis rode in to a small Restaurant on a Harley with 2 more riders . In a small town Odonville, Alabama. My dad and mom , me and my Sister were eating. I was only 8 , but my mom and dad knew exactly who he was .He paid for our dinner and talk with my dad as if just a normal thing . Never forgot that. He was a very sweet caring man .

We often drive a wedge when we are sharing the Gospel. She said timing is everything. He is not prideful and boastful. Jumping the gun and laying on scripture out of season (heavy handed, pressure laced altar call) could snap that person off like a twig. She said if you approach a person with the old "one hit wonder" deal (instant change) you better be willing to share the cost. There must be follow through. If there isn't any functionality for development/companionship DO NOT bring His Name into it. She said if you can't deliver, shut your mouth or you'll be responsible for the outcome of your poor stewardship. ------So many things she taught me. Very logical. Down to earth. REAL. I wish she was still alive. She sang "Bridge" while rocking me as a baby. I remember.

Also if he had monitors in 1969 and 1970 in Vegas, where are they at? There is tons of video footage and thousands of photos from all these shows but yet there isn’t a single video or photo with a monitor anywhere in it. Not even on the side of the stage.

@@syourke3 I think you're a little uninformed here. Generally, whenever you go to a concert, you'll see two types of speakers. You've got the ones that face the audience (the PA) and the ones that face the performers (the monitors). The performers can't hear the ones that face away from them, or if they can, its distant and poor quality. The ones on stage allow them to hear well. Nowadays, many performers use ear pieces instead of stage monitors.

No vocal training, no real instrument training, no auto tune or ear piece, he picked out his musicians & backup singers, he never wrote songs yet arranged them, never had highly paid arrangers for his shows, He was the show, one man, one voice there to make his audience happy and provide a brief escape from their troubles.

I can still remember being in a kid going for long drives with my mom and dad. My dad always put in the Elvis gospel tape cassette on those drives. I would sit in the back seat of that ford escort and just be amazed. I hope his legacy lives on and on.

I was never very keen on this song until I heard this man sing it. Just WOW ❤

​@@itze_ I'm a musician and I study music at the Conservatory of my town. Jacob has nothing to do with Elvis, I was curious and just tonight I've listened to the Jacob Collier studio version even the live version. Collier uses so many modern technologies that help a lot to do a show and he disguises the original song "Bridge over troubled water". There's no the same feeling, strength, emotions and shades of the Elvis version, even the choirs of Elvis are more genuine. As I was listening to the beginning of the studio version I thought that Jacob was trying to imitate Michael Jackson.

Carolyn Wright: My wife and I retired (while living in Ohio, USA) in 2001 and purchased a winter home in Florida where we lived 9-10 months every year (until 2017). Charlie Hodge was the man who gave Elvis his scarves, water, etc., and unknown to many people, Charlie was professionally voice trained and also normally sang high harmony with Elvis. Until charlie passed away in 2006, we ALWAYS stopped by "Memories Theatre" in Pigeon Forge, Tenn. to see Charlie because Charlie appeared EVERY night they had an Elvis impersonator. Charlie was a very down to earth man and loved talking about his life with Elvis to you if you desired. One memorable statement Charlie told my wife and I was that Elvis would sometimes sing bass (1 octave above JD - JD normally sang 2 octaves below middle C) just to show JD Sumner that he (Elvis) could also sing bass if he wanted. Charlie also said that sometimes in live performances, Elvis without warning, would sing the high part of harmony, forcing him (Charlie) to sing the low part. Charlie said he knew deep down inside that Elvis purposely did that just so he (Elvis) could show Charlie that he (Elvis) could also sing the high lead if he desired. Thank you.

I, too, am from Ohio, but have been in Florida for far too many years.....another whole story. I got to see Charlie in Cincinnati in 1978 with my mother at an Elvis convention. What a treat! He was a gem and I really enjoyed the conversation. He really was interested in talking about his life with Elvis. It seemed that Charlie was a true friend and Elvis did depend on him for your list above. Charlie surely seemed dedicated to Elvis. I only found out recently that Charlie had passed away. I'm so sorry I never got to see him again. Meeting him is and always will be a cherished memory.

Love this story, he had a vocal range that mesmerizes me from the time he started out to the day he finished! Music was his gift across the globe, I live in the UK where his style, looks, and music in the 1950s/1960s influenced the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and many many others. The music was so different, so energetic, so exciting from what had gone before that young kids at the time were simply spell-bound!

Paul Simon went to see Elvis in Las Vegas. Elvis sang, and Paul Simon said something to the effect of, " that's it! We should just all quit now!", meaning he totally admired and his version. Elvis was and is The King!

Elvis just takes a song and makes it his own. What a tremendous talent.

That is a regret of my life never having seen him in person. As great as he was on record, it is the live performance that puts him over the top as the greatest entertainer of the 20th century. It had to be unbelievable to have seen him in person and in his prime (1968-1971).

quite simply untouchable, even today no one can match Elvis

The best and most gracious artist to have lived. His voice is unbelievable.

Hearing this version of the song all my life and hearing it now doesn't change the fact that I still get chills every single time I hear it. He is The King for a reason. The Man's voice was just absolutely amazing.
