Still my favorite Elvis song! ❤

I was a neighbor of Billy Ray Presley when I was a little girl. Elvis would often ride his motorcycle down from Memphis to visit his family. When I saw him pull into Mr. Billy Ray's driveway, I would run over begging for a ride. Elvis would scoop me up and head to my house to ask my mother if he could take me riding. My mother disliked motorcycles and I can still hear Elvis saying Mrs. Iris, I'll protect her with my life but I can't tell her no. At 4-5 years old I only knew he was a sweet guy that also took me for rides and bought me ice cream. When I visit Tupelo today you can still see Presley cousins walking downtown. The Presley genes are strong and some bear an uncanny likeness to Elvis. It freaks out Elvis fans visiting the town and his birthplace and museum. I still have a beautiful sapphire necklace Elvis gave me for my 6th birthday.

ELVIS, that name says it all. Greatness.

Loved Elvis since 1957 when I was 10. Seen so many others but nobody comes close Elvis forever

So blessed to have gotten to go to his concerts, There will never be any other entertainer like Elvis, Elvis always ❤️

The “black leather” Elvis is my favorite. Humble, sexy as heck, and if you watch the entire show he sings the blues and gospel flawlessly. Not to mention his tribute to MLK ( a hero of mine).❤

ElVIS FOREVER ❤❤❤

I thank God I have been alive when this man was on the planet. Elvis for EVER ❤️❤️❤️

My feelings exactly and I was blessed to see Elvis live in concert 6 times, each time was magic.

Elvis was superhuman. Edited to add, his performance of "Trying to Get to You" during the '68 special is one of the most electrifying you'll ever experience.

My 82 yr old mom is now in a nursing home and wears a phone holder around her neck with Elvis on it... I can't tell you how many ppl just know her as the Elvis woman.. but Black and white both agree with her in that home.. they all love Elvis.

Elvis was one of a kind.. The greatest ever! Thank you for this video... ❤️&🙏

One of the reasons people liked Elvis so much was his sense of humor and silliness and playfulness. He could easily laugh at himself, especially when he screwed up. Yes, he had an attractive overall confidence but also a sense of humility that people found very appealing. You never felt that Elvis looked down on other people or saw himself as being more important than anyone else. He had a sweet soul. I still miss him, though I never met him.

This shows how Elvis was a big kid at heart. Always laughing and joking.

Elvis was a very humble man and never saw himself as a superstar he always said he was just an entertainer and was loved making people happy what an amazing man with a heart of gold he never stole any other artists songs he always had permission to sing the songs so, people need to stop with that rumour his voice is absolutely amazing even my sons love elvis more and more of the younger generations are liking elvis he is still very sadly missed to this day and still very much loved 💖

That's his growl....he's playing you!

the reason why Elvis was king was because he had it all He had : the raw talent the humor the style the kindness and compassion the confidence

Elvis loved to joke around!! This was him at his best at his 68 comeback, he was 33❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Nice reaction. Just a note, he didn't forget the lyrics, he was just horsing around which was the intent of this segment. They were filming the 68 comeback special what was a typical studio production setting. The "comeback" was alluding to his return to "real" performing after nearly a decade in Hollywood making movies. They planned this live session to mix in this performance with the studio production clips. While taping of this seqment was planned, I read in Elvis biography that they had originally thought to sell tickets for it, but the day of the filming the audience was raided from people waiting in the line at the NBC studio that day to get into game shows, as well as from a restaurant across the street. Another note, the guitar player to Elvis' left is Scott Moore who was Elvis's original guitar player, recruited from the first recordings at Sun Studios. Scotty was one of the innovators of the rockabilly guitar sound, taking influences from county, Chicago Blues, Jazz, etc. Along with others he’s responsible for the rock sound we know.

Elvis hadn't been on a stage singing for the public for 9 years. He was doing a series of movies his manager had roped him into. He was so nervous to do this TV special that he almost chickened out. He said, "They won't remember me, and they'll laugh". this scene is when Steve Binder the director of this whole special went to Elvis dressing room and Elvis was so nervous he told Steve he couldn't do it. Steve said, "Elvis you have to do this, just go out there and do something, even if you just talk to them." So as you can tell in his voice and actions he does not want to be there, but of course when he sees the reaction and starts to continue he gets into it. I want to thank you for your opening words. Just as Elvis is so famous, there have been so many people that tell lies and condemn him. your words were special, being a fan since 1956 and now 80, I appreciate your remarks. All I know is he was one of the most generous humanitarians who ever lived. He gave away almost as much as he made. He loved his fans, and he loved all people. Thanks and be Blessed. I subbed. PS, See "Elvis Presley King of Kindness".

Videos can't compare to the pure magic of seeing Elvis live in concert, he absolutely electrified the place and took my breath away. I was blessed to see him perform 6 times. My brother who saw every rock band of the 60's and 70's as a young photographer said that Elvis to his surprise was hands down the best performer he'd ever seen and stayed on stage longer than the others.

This is Elvis at his best! Everything in the ‘68 come back special is fantastic!

This song i ever heard of Elvis. I was in jr. High school. I had 550 pictures of him on my wall. All kinds mostly cut out of magazines. I had a few nice framed pictures. One life size on my door.❤❤❤❤❤ Im 81 now and still love Elvis

Elvis was the first to come out with the leather ❤ thank you ❤

Elvis was one of Eddie Murphy's heroes. You can see Eddie talking about Elvis and how he owned a room. If you see Eddie in his all leather suits coming out on stage, he essentially enters like Elvis did back in his prime.

I had this on dvd!! It’s an epic show. 68 Comeback Special. ❣️❣️

Haven't ever SEEN a more BEAUTIFUL MAN! ...and, SO, SO TALENTED! Just SO GOOD!! THANKS, POLO! YOU ROCK!!

God Bless You for keeping Elvis alive.

Guitarist to his left, Scotty Moore is a legend also.

I'm 72 n have listened to Elvis since 1956 n yes im old but Elvis music keeps me young. The leather suit was made of Real leather. Today they are not made from real leather. ELVIS had his guys help to pull the pants up as sweat n real leather don't work well together. I never met Elvis but was friends with Charlie Hodge his confidant and best friend for years after Elvis died n he told me many great stories about Elvis. I only got to 1 concert 1973 Aloha concert that was broadcasted around the world and seen by 1.5 Billion people. I sat in 3rd row center n couldn't take my eyes off of him. I was à crazy fan n even jumped up on my seat n thru him a kiss n he winked at me.❤❤ Love your videos n keep them coming

Elvis managed to keep it very relaxed and casual with everybody. The fact was, he was very sick to his stomach back stage because he was so unsure and nervous to go out and perform live, after such a long time with his 8 year absence. He was Super Cool.

the Elvis performance to react to is Unchained Melody, live. It's mind blowing. He was in poor health, close to his death, and delivered a powerful performance

It’s nice to see Elvis having fun on stage🤟

After the years of Hollywood trying to package Elvis as the "boy next door" type, Elvis was ready to get back to his kind of music and his kind of style. Elvis was the originator of the full leather suit - to show that he was still the badass rebel. And the stories about this show is that there were two identical suits, as they did back to back shows for two audiences, and in between shows they had to peel Elvis out of the first suit because he sweat so much under the lights that the leather stuck to him. When he first comes in and sits down you can see that he has a low v-cut shirt on under the jacket to try and mitigate the sticking. Other than on a movie soundstage, this was the first performance for a live audience that Elvis had done in 9 years. Elvis was so nervous about it that he almost didn't go on. But he and the guys were in his dressing room just playing around when the show's producer heard them and thought Elvis would be more comfortable doing the same kind of thing onstage to open the show. Once he got past the first few bars, the rest was magic. Yeah, there were mistakes here and there, but like you said, Elvis smiled and made a joke out of it and just kept on going. He also did a fair amount of ad-libbing, and they just went with it.

… There are many good singers... but ELVIS is the „💎“ Diamond among them!! His charisma is still unsurpassed to this day!! … He is a Singer for eternity !! 🕺🏻🕯 Thank you

Elvis, on a small stage having some fun. Way cool.

This is my absolute favorite version of Heartbreak Hotel!! He hadn't been in front of live audience in 8 yrs. He was doing movies. This was his comeback and he was so nervous, he almost didn't go out on stage. However, he looked gorgeous and his sense of humor is the best!! I do love and appreciate your beautiful remarks in the beginning. You're so right and much respect for doing your research. ❤ TCB ⚡👑🌹

Seen Elvis 3 times. He loved changing lyrics and then laughing. He was by far the greatest Entertainer I have ever seen. Bought my first album when I was eight. I’m 76 yo female and I still listen to him all the time.

The ORIGINAL UNPLUGGED! A true trendsetter. He set the standard.

He understood music and human nature. He was a master at entertainment and uplifting others. His looks, talent and this understanding were a deadly combination. Vicki

The leather suit was started with Elvis. The next notable aperance to me would be the red leather suit Eddie Murphy wore in his first huge special. He was a huge Elvis fan and wore it as a nod to the King. When Elvis came out at the beginning of this video, it was pretty much his first public performance in over 10 years. He was a bit nervous and almost didn't come out. It was after the hight of the Beatles in 68 and he was afraid he had become irrelevant. This legendary special proved that wrong. You should check out the documentary Reinventing Elvis: The 68 comeback special.

Thank you for speaking the truth about Elvis. So many have no idea and talk nonsense about him. Talking of Elvis's style, he basically was a product of his environment. As for him forgetting the lyrics and him messing around, it is somehow more entertaining than just singing.

Hi Polo, This is Elvis at his best and healthiest. This concert was a bit of a loose arrangement but a lot of fun. The women were corralled off the street to makeup an audience. He was truly a great artist and yes you are correct, he had great respect for black people and for the black artist he knew and worked with. A tragic but lovely guy. There will only ever be 1 Elvis. Cheers, Neil.

You forgot the part where invitations were to be sent out but Parker was unhappy about the black leather sessions and didn't send them out and that's why they had to round up people from the street. Parker wanted to make the entire show into a Bing Crosby type Christmas show. Can you imagine? Of course, that would still have been good listening, but without as much groove.

NOBODY IS MORE BEAUTIFUL! NOBODY!

A long time ago I read by someone esteemed enough to know that Elvis had the charisma of a thousand John Lennons. A very powerful aura, if you will.

Boomer here and Elvis fanatic for 65 years. I watched this comeback special live in 1968 and he was the greatest performer of all time ❤!! I went to 3 concerts of his in Louisville KY, the last one in 77 right before he died 💔. He will always be the king 🤴. Thankyou so much for showing this. 👏

The women there had to be sitting down, otherwise they'd pass out. So damn handsome, his talent is insane, charisma.

Elvis said Roy Obison had the voice he'd ever heard. He never covered an Orbison songs out of respect for him. Orbison wanted Elvis to record Only the Lonely but went on to record his biggest hit.

King then, now, and forever! The greatest of all time.💙🎶🎶🎶🎶

Thanks for your reaction. Elvis 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 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.

This leather suit was first worn by Elvis & by the reaction of the women it was a big hit.

Not his best as far as concerts go, but I love the intimacy of it.

Я живу в России.Люблю слушать Элвиса .Много перечитала про него книг ,видеоматериал,документальные фильмы.Мне грустно,когда в коментах многие пишут ,что он был расистом.Пресли никогда таким не был.Он был верующим ,щедрым и добрым человеком.Патриотом своей страны,уважающий всех людей.Мама Уитни Хьюстон пела у него в бек вокале ,послушайте её интервью.Три октавы диапазон голоса,бархатный баритон с переливами.Красивый .Слишком много ответственности положили на плечи этого парня.Рядом не было родственной души ,человека по интересам.Нет ему равных в щедрости и благотворительности до сих пор!Американцы,берегите дольше память о нем .Элвис Пресли -это культурное достояние вашей страны!Привет из Москвы.🇷🇺❤️🇺🇸🤘🎸

In 1968, there were only 3 national stations....ABC, NBC, and CBS. Elvis was in his "Comeback" tour. SOMEBODY was gonna air this show. MAJOR HIT!!!

This was his TV special from 1968 and his first performance in front of a live audience for 7 years. He was as nervous as heck and nearly didn't come out but as soon as he started he began to enjoy himself. Heartbreak Hotel was his first gold record in 1956. There were two sit down and two standing up performances in the leather suit and they've gone down in history (as has the whole TV comeback special). As you said he is a megastar to this day because he did have it all and sang many different types of song equally well. Elvis forever ❤
