This whole 68 comeback special is fantastic. Trying to get to you us one of favorites.

He just had a rare magnetism and charm that was palpable to everyone. Flamboyant and humble at the same time. Bursting onto the scene during the home television boom did not hurt one bit either. Dying young completely cemented The Aura of Elvis.

👍 beautiful orchestral background music was also a bonus , I wish they had the technology back then to capture the soul and spirit of the orchestra , it somehow does not have that quality in the last 30 years, not sure why 🤔

This is my favourite version of the song. NO ONE sang a ballad like Elvis! He is the king forever.

Love your comment Diedre. You are correct… no one competes with Elvis. There’s a seventeen year old Norwegian girl that comes close though. Angelina Jordan is a young girl with an old soul and she LOVES the music from yesteryear. She has covered a number of Elvis songs and she’d be the first one to tell you that music really isn’t a zero-sun competition. Angelina always pays respect to the artist she covers and at the same time she transforms the song into something totally new. I hope you enjoy Angelina’s slowed down take on Elvis’ classic. You will hear a lot about her in the coming year. She is finally finishing high school and her family has finally given her a green light to pursue her passion. She lives and breaths Music. ❤️👣 She was ELEVEN when she recorded this. Here’s a link to her cover of “Can’t Help Falling in Love”… m.kzread.info/dash/bejne/onaD0aaRdseqZ5M.html

Elvis was and still is amazing, he sung and recorded over 740 songs along with his 31 movies. In 1977 I was in high school in Chicago and I got to see him live I remember it as it was yesterday. Thank you for your reactions to him and your genuine love for his music.

Elvis will always be the greatest entertainer and without a doubt the most handsome, no one can compare, then, now or ever. He was the total package!

When you can perform live as good as that, you’ve reached the heights

This is one of my favorite live recordings of Elvis (68 Comeback). Elvis was at his best. He was so handsome here & looked so cool in his black leather. This was an intimate setting with the audience members sitting around him. You could see how relaxed & at ease he was. He had a great voice & could sing anything whether it was ballads, gospel or rock.

His gospel was breathtaking. His performance of Peace in the Valley is still one of the best songs he has ever done.

To think that this incredible, one-of-a-kind performer never got to tour Europe/the world, is simply a musical tragedy. He would be truly amazed, humble as he was, people would kill (not literally😜)to get tickets. When he performed in Vegas and on tour, people would come from every corner of the world, Europe, Australia, Japan, England, you name it. He wanted to go, he said so in many interviews. He died 42 years old, totally worn out from serious health issues, drug dependency and creative disappointment/boredom. Loved by millions to this day, we lost a treasure when Elvis passed away.

Him and Karen Carpenter both have beautiful voices. They open their mouths and you are drawn to awe. Everything is illuminated when they sing.

ELVIS...BEAUTIFUL MAN INSIDE AND OUT 😊🎼🔥🎤❤

Elvis soul and spirit touching magically through the screen. I am not sure if he knew how big is the impact he has on millions of people through many generations. G.O.A.T..

Elvis was one of the most beautiful (not handsome: BEAUTIFUL) men that has ever walked the planet. He was born on January 8, 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi, in a 2 room shack of a house his dad built with money he borrowed from his boss. That's how dirt poor they were. He was one half of identical twins; the other boy - Jesse Garon - was stillborn. They were so poor, that Jesse Garon was buried in a shoebox in an unmarked grave. At Graceland they have a plaque with his name on it in his memory. Elvis always got along with the black community and learned a lot about music from his friends of color. Also, according to the one drop rule, Elvis would not be considered white, since he has Cherokee ancestors on both the Smith (his mother) and the Presley (his father) sides of the family. His paternal grandfather, Jesse Dunning Presley, was not happy that his two sons, Elvis' father Vernon and his brother Vester, married two sisters, Gladys and Clettes who were known to have Cherokee blood in their family tree. J.D. Presley was quite the racist a-hole, often drunk and a philandering husband to Minnie Mae (they were actually separated long before they finally divorced in 1954) who was always competing with his sons Vester and Vernon and who was known to abuse his kids when drunk. J.D. was was publicly against race mixing and was in denial about the Cherokee blood in his own family tree. It was more publicly known that the Smith family had Native blood in their family tree, so when both his sons fell for 2 Smith sisters and Vernon, on top of that, was still a minor at 17 when he eloped with Gladys who was 4 years older than him, Jesse was totally pissed off. As a child, Elvis already had many friends in the black community at the time his family was one of 4 "white" families that lived in the predominantly black neighborhood The Hill, just across from Shake Rag. His childhood friend Sam Bell said that some of the (black) kids in that neighborhood had lighter skin than Elvis (kzread.info/dash/bejne/fqZ6pduHfdnAh84.html). One of Elvis' bodyguards once said that he thought it was a miracle Elvis got into Humes High School in Memphis, because it was "lily white". Elvis wanted to be more open about his Native ancestry, but his manager "colonel" Tom Parker (real name Andreas van Kuijk) was against it because he was afraid it might cost Elvis fans (and himself money). They did have Elvis play characters in his movies though where he had Native American blood (Flaming Star, G.I. Blues, Stay Away Joe). Once Elvis had his own (apprentice) job learning to be an electrician, he saved up his money and bought his clothes in the same style that many of his friends of color wore. He was called a (forgive me, just stating facts here) "n-lover" and got beaten up several times too. Later, when he was an established star, he would not perform at places where the members of color of his back-up band/orchestra weren't allowed.

He was of a different era, he wasn't initially concerned with people's reactions with his performances because this was way before social media. He had a presence that will probably never be repeated ❤

Elvis wasn't just a superstar my dear, Elvis was whole damn galaxy, and the likes of which we shall never see again. Everyone else was just an imitator. When this man died the whole world wept, I'm old enough to remember, the global outpouring of grief and tears all around this globe of ours. I'm so happy that you are a new fan and I hope you get to know more and more about him. Elvis was also not only the greatest entertainer the world has ever had, but Elvis was also an exceptional human being, and the humblest and most caring and giving man one could have had the good fortune to meet and know. Elvis Presley is an echo, that will never die. He remains to this day almost 50years since his death, UNSURPASSED. Thank you so much for your video.

You are watching a legend…LOL…..An Icon really!!!

Elvis was not just a star. He was the whole damn galaxy ❤ and will always be that 🩷🩷🩷

The most stunning man to ever walk the earth and the best voice ever. There are sooo many videos I could recommend but a key one we Elvis fans like to see people react to is love me tender las vegas 1970. 😉

The most talented and beautiful man to ever grace this earth.

Back in the 60s when it was a school night and Elvis came on tv we got to stay up and watch the king. TX. I watch and listen to the king everyday. Rest in peace Lisa Marie. Good night Graceland. And you darling keep on rocking.

I’m so happy you found Elvis! I fell in love with him in grade 3 because my mother loved him. Listen to Jailhouse Rock. In the video his dancing is very impressive.

All these years later and the tears and chills still show up . Miss you so much Elvis.❤️

Listen to the single release of Can't Help Falling In Love from 1961. The Iconic ELVIS Song!

It's very hard to sing. He was beyond handsome here, and not the heart-throb of the time, he was the heart-throb of the past, present and future, no man will ever surpass him. Vulnerability is present here too. Tears still flow LONG LIVE THE KING ❤️

he is the legend.

Good morning and greetings from Germany 🖖 Elvis was the King , the Best .

Check out these 1970 Vegas “Suspicious Minds”, “Polk Salad Annie, and Love Me Tender. Elvis is the only man that could do what he does in Love Me Tender. Enjoy!

Beautiful song sung by a beautiful singer.This whole 68 show was a classic never bettered .👑👑

He actually used this song for closing concerts, most assumed this was a song for Priscilla...but it's been confirmed it's for his fans.

It’s so fun to see your crushing on Elvis- It’s really cool. So happy younger generations love him too.

I was around whilst Elvis lived. He was as famous as everybody else in the world put together. He was ridiculously famous. Which might have been his un - doing.

Elvis was my grandmother's favorite, and she was born in 1881.

From the moment he recorded "My happiness" In the Sun recording studios for his mum, there was no looking back. The man is a legend.

he loved his fans...notice they are right up to the stage

what is this girl saying "like a legend"????? HE IS A LEGEND GIRL.

Good reaction, Carlie! You really ought to react to the very first time he ever sang this in his movie "Blue Hawaii." There is a clip of just that scene on KZread you can pull up. In it, he is singing the song (a little slower & better than here) to his "fiance's" grandmother after sweetly presenting her with a music box at her (the grandmom's) birthday party. I know you would love it! In fact, on your personal time, you should watch the whole movie; it's probably my favorite of all 31 of his films!

Amazing reaction my dear!! He was a charmer!! He didn't need to try either. Lol

Elvis is and always will be the king of rock and roll, I recommend listening to kentucky rain and suspicious minds

Hi Always a lot better, listening to the original recording, it is way better, than what you are hearing now, Elvis early recordings, is always the best .

It was great seeing him live. Saw him several times

I saw him live 4 times - no other concerts/performers since then have even come close.

Watch this song from 1972 Elvis on Tour!❤

this was a video called his 1968 comeback special. it was done in an impromptu setting with a square stage with only selected guests there.

68 comeback. Amazing concert.

I've always loved this song, but like ten years ago I dreamed about my own funeral. That's the kind of dream that would make anyone wake up feeling uneased to say the least, but this was the song playing, and it made my dream so beautiful that not only did I not wake up sad for dreaming about my own mortality, but I told literally everyone in my life that could make it happen that this was the song I wanted to be played at my funeral, and everytime I listen to this song with one of them I remind them of my dream and I tell them again, every time, "Please. I'm not kidding. Do this last thing for me".

One of my fav Elvis song performance is 'Fame and Fortune'. He was just released from the army and performed at Frank Sinatra's TV show. It's one of his slower songs but he sang it as only he can.

No one was better than the king, Elvis Presley! There will never be another, and there will never be another entertainer who will top him. It is indisputable. I enjoyed your reaction.

I saw him live in 1972. He played in San Bernardino, California. The video is on youtube.

If you want to hear the his remarkable vocal control listen to Surrender. He drifts effortlessly between falsetto, baritone and operatic power. It's said he never played to an empty seat.

"Trying to Get to You" is a must to react to by Elvis. You'll love it.

As an Elvis Impersonator, when your in the moment there seems to be a definitive emotional connection between giving your audience a resonate soul exchanging experience that only Elvis can provide. It is hard to describe those “out of body” whispers as they flutter thru your entire existence. I am so humble and grateful for being allowed to keep Elvis with us. TCB ‘-,

Love it so romantic. And yes is a total hunk!! Should react to Elvis singing this song in the movie Blue Hawaii

He knew it so he played it fully looks charisma

god sent him and god took him back, love that man

As already mentioned Elvis is the king, no one can deliver a song like Elvis ! You may want to check out a young lady that has 2 beautiful covers of this wonderful song !

Definitely give Trying to Get to You from this same '68 Comeback Special a watch!

Elvis has the greatest singing voice ever recorded, he will never be equaled. Elvis has sold more records than anyone, EVER, solo or group. he has more record sales than second and third combined. simply amazing

You still don't have your head around the Presley phenomenon. His first national hit was released in January, 1956. A year later, he had sold 10,000,000 records. His charisma captivated his fans, even at the end of his life when he had become a caricature. The fans were so devoted that concert venues routinely announced "Elvis has left the building" so the fans would go home.

in his prime he had it all

Now you just *have to* watch some of the videos of the 1970 Las Vegas concerts: "Polk Salad Annie", "Bridge over troubled water", "You've lost that loving feeling"!

This was the song that my wife and I chose as our First Dance song at our wedding reception 21 years ago. The King!

This is part of the 1968 televised special, "Singer Sewing Machines Presents - Elvis" which is very commonly and incorrectly titled by almost everybody as "The '68 Comeback Special"
