He certainly was into self depreciation as a form of humor and as a way to communicate to the audience that he was one of them, not some arrogant snob of a superstar.

He had such a hilarious sense of humor, but it was his timing that was so natural & made it that much better.

Even after all these years, He still gives me the chills. The harmonizing was by his band The Jordanaires!

The Man was in his element, secure in his own skin, loved by millions, Elvis could do no wrong. We loved him!!💞💞💞💞💞

1983 my little 5 yr old self was taking a walk around the park holding my mommas hand. There on the ground was a collectors card with a picture of a young Elvis on it. I declare to my mom that he’s going to be my boyfriend. My mom tells me that it would be kind of hard since he’s not alive anymore. I tell her I don’t care he’s still my boyfriend.

Beautiful, talented, and a sense of humor, what more could a woman.

He was just naturally cool.

Elvis chose not to do the speaking part here! He must have been tired of saying it,because, as you saw, he started laughing in the middle of the first sentence & then returned to the song! Since you never heard this song before I will provide the spoken part that is in the original recording, (which you really ought to listen to because it shows what a great actor Elvis was & his deep spoken voice is magnificent!) It went like this; "I wonder if you are lonesome tonight!,Someone once said the world is a stage & each must play a part. Act 1 was when we met ! I fell in love with you as my sweetheart! You read your lines so cleverly & never missed a cue !,Then came Act2; You seemed to change. You acted strange ! Why I 've never known ! Honey, you lied when you said you loved me & I had no cause to doubt you! But I 'd rather go on hearing your lies than to go on living without you! Now the stage is bare & I am standing there with emptiness all around & if you won't come back to me, then they can bring the curtain down!" (In case you are wondering, yes I do have a life!! It has however , been enriched with the music of Elvis Aaron Presley! I am just a fan but know how to appreciate quality when I see it! This is why I share these verses with you) You are absolutely right , he was an absolute professional ! He never allowed little distractions to interrupt his performances! He remained relaxed & loved what he was doing at every moment! His words came right from his soul! He never took himself too seriously ( curled lip.comment) Yet ,he delivered his lyrics with musical love! "Are you Lonesome Tonight " is one of his many masterpieces! Check out the original, vintage version,! It will blow you away as well! Thanks again for sharing our love for our dear friend! Perfect reaction, as usual!

There will never ever be another guy like Elvis. He's the definition of 1 of 1. The king

Elvis could get away with anything on stage, he just always had the crowd in the palm of his hand no matter what he did. I think his realness was a huge part of his draw. What you saw was the real deal. He was one of a kind for sure.

Jamel. The FIRST UNPLUGGED. Elvis just playing. When your the KING. They fall over like wheat.

Never anything normal about Elvis!!

So comfortable in his own skin, with his great sense of humor, in his absolute element is everything!! Never will there ever be another!! 🎶💜🎵🎶

I love that black leather suit. I stared at that for quite a bit when I was a Graceland. It was like it held some magical power. As I drifted through his outfits I kept going back to that one. Love the 68 special. I was 5 and when he came on I decided that was my husband. We all know when a 5 yr old falls in love it's deep and it's real.

More powerful and talented without one once of effort. It’s like he’s just talking yet he knows he’s on TV but it doesn’t matter he remains himself like as if he was just playing his guitar and singing on his couch at Garacland. Unreal! He literally had it all!

I love the videos where he changes the words to his own songs. 😂 He would amuse himself & break out laughing.

His voice is so clear and pure. It appears effortless Elvis was every bit “The King”

Mr 😎. Beautiful song, amazing control of his voice and not taking himself seriously at all. Saw him reading a note someone handed him while he sang a song in Las Vegas-hilarious-didn’t miss a beat

So HAPPY you got that blowing of the lint during his singing. THAT WAS ELVIS! THAT was a huge part of it. He was always in the moment and had fun.

Elvis was the first cassette i ever bought when i was ten in 93. I listened to it on a small clock radio, wore it out. His voice is so nostalgic to me. Reminds me of simpler times when loved ones were still around. What a talent and inspiration, definitely influenced my singing style!

Love your reaction to this and your laughter...it made me laugh..again! It’s called tuning into Elvis and his enigma and you have tuned in and read the signals loud and clear! Thanks Jamel and long live the King! 👑

This was Elvis’ televised “Comeback Special” in 1968. Check out the whole performance. I love the acoustic jam session with his band and cracking jokes. And the black leather suit...oh baby. Beautiful voice and man.

When I watch and listen to Elvis Presley's performance of this song, I just start to cry. The performance is so beautiful, I get really emotional when I see and hear him sing so sweetly.

Elvis’ voice is ONE OF A KIND that is instantly recognizable by almost every person!! Elvis never goes out of style!! He will never be replicated. Simply a gift from God🙏🏼🕺🏻

Funny observations! Had me Laughing!! The original record went #1 on the charts in 1960’n

As a teen I went through a stage of watching every Elvis movie and documentary on him I could find 😍😍 He was an extraordinarily talented man with a big heart for others!

I was at home crying and saying “ I Love You Elvis”...haha. I will always love him, he was so GOOD LOOKING. Great Reaction...yours always are. Thank you

Good eye! I didn't notice Elvis blowing something off his jacket. Elvis had a million dollar smile, like no one else.

Of the oldest ballads, Are you lonesome tonight is my favorite

When you saw Elvis in person, it was like hanging out with him. That's how he made you feel. Thanks.

Like I said last week I really enjoy your Elvis day it's like you sings that in your own living room just playing Just For You and I did enjoy the fifties to keep up the good work

Best part of this is hearing Elvis hit those high, light notes his younger years favored..faithfully caught them , a little less light..more power..

Not only the best singer ever but the nicest man you could ever meet .gave away 200 Cadillacs watch on you tube.amongst many other things

My man Elvis beautiful inside and out. Take My Hand Precious Lord is another you should hear

He seems to be able to laugh at himself. That quality is irresistible. I really, really enjoy seeing him relaxed and playing with his friends/musicians. Oh, to be a fly on the wall when he cuts up amongst family and friends.

Everything from this whole 1968 special was him in his element! Just a few guys perfect instruments and harmony! Enjoying your journey too!

The 1968 Comeback Special. I still need to find that whole thing and buy it some day. My Grandma is his Biggest fan i know, she got me into Elvis from a very very young age (like 5ish) and i got her a 68 comeback special collector's doll still in the box on her 75th b-day. That man was Amazing.

Love, love, love it!

Jamal! That was Elvis taking a breather in the middle of holding a VERY LONG DRAWN OUT NOTE! Thats called singing!!!! You need to watch tht again. Watch him! That is what singing & performing looks like together, flowing & COOL!! You look up cool & you will see a picture of Elvis! A very humble man that never thoought he was better than anybody.

Elvis will always live on in our hearts.and souls.

He's amazing 🤩!!!! And somewhere in that whole performance....he had forgotten the words to part of a song..... so he started making up words, .... and laughing.....it was just humbling..... because like you say, he wasn't concerned about being silly..... just a gracious loved and most definitely missed entertainer

Elvis Presley was the epitome of being a superstar *without the internet and cable/satellite TV*. Can you imagine what it would have been like with those in place during his peak?

My mom had tons of Elvis records. If your able to find it, there is a version of this song where Elvis is cracking up. The part where he says : " do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare.." instead of saying the next line "do you gaze at your doorstep..." instead he says "do you gaze at your bald head and wish you had hair." Classic Elvis laugh on that one.

Elvis never took himself too seriously and I think he enjoyed seeing others happy..

If you watch more of his old stuff, you'll see him reload his leg after doing a weird sideways shuffle. He would also just freeze mid-motion and laugh when the crowd would go nuts. The man was a consummate entertainer. He would goof off like crazy in the middle of songs, slur the lyrics on purpose and mess with his band or backup singers. In one concert he called for one song but the guitarist started a different song and Elvis threw a glass of water on him while still singing the song he hadn't called for. Look up Crawfish or Hunka Love, not to be confused with Hunka a Burnin' Love, or Mean Woman Blues or Tupelo 1955.
