MUSICIAN REACTS to Elvis Presley - Unchained Melody (Live 1977)
Hey guys! Today I am reacting to a song by Elvis Presley: "Unchained Melody" (Live 1977).
After doing some research I found out that the song wasn't written by the "Righteous Brothers". It was written by Hy Zaret & Alex North. Sorry for the wrong information in the video!
I was listening to the song a few more times after doing the reaction and heard that the last part of it was overdubbed with other instruments after the record! It sounds pretty good though. After checking out the undubbed version I have to say that I like it even better - Elvis playing the piano is a fantastic combination!
I am really trying hard to catch up with all of your requests! More than 60 songs are on my list at the moment. We'll do them all haha!
+850 Subscribers! Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.

Elvis, that voice never failed him! It's hard to watch him in this condition just weeks before he passed. That voice will forever sing!
The body may have failed him but his voice never did. God rest your soul Elvis.

Although his voice stays amazing, when I watch Elvis perform in his later years, I have always thought he looked like a man who was ill, not just on drugs. I am from a medical family, and my dad, a doctor, always thought the same thing. He would comment that Elvis looked like he was on cortisone (which I have recently found out he was for his lungs). You have to watch the video, or read the book, Elvis: destined to die young by Sally Hoedel. She is a professional journalist and a lifetime Elvis fan who always questioned why did Elvis, his mom, and her two brothers, have similar deaths and health issues. She did extensive research into Elvis's family health history and found out that his mother's parents were 1st cousins who married, and as a result, passed on several genetic health issues to Gladys, her two brothers, and Elvis. Elvis suffered from a young boy of insomnia, and bowel issues. We now would be able to diagnose that as Hirschsprung's disease (congenital megacolon) causing terrible constipation and abdominal pain. Sally's research clearly documents that Elvis, his maternal grandmother, and mother all had an autoimmune disorder that affected their liver and lungs. Autoimmune diseases are only recently better understood. However, due to the fact that Elvis grew up really below the poverty line for years, they had no access to medical care. In the early 1970's, Elvis's doctor did try to understand why a man of his age would have so many health issues, but the tests that would have discovered his illness were not developed. There were no CT scans, MRI's, ultrasounds, etc. Therefore, they threw the drugs they had available at his symptoms, without really treating the underlying disease. It was only in his autopsy report that they found out he suffered from an auto immune inflammatory process. Did he take prescription drugs, Yes; but, I think unlike an addict who takes drugs to escape life, Elvis was taking them for real medical ailments that neither he, nor his docotrs totally understood, and that he was trying to figure out how to survive and continue to be Elvis. Sally states in her book: "There are eleven main systems in the human body and Elvis endured disorder/disease in nine of them. His heart (circulatory system), his lungs (respiratory system), and his bowels (digestive/excretory systems) required medication. Insomnia affected his nervous system. The adrenal gland failure and resulting low testosterone are both issues of the endocrine system. His immune system was compromised. His urinary system was not functioning properly. The arthritis that caused Elvis severe pain throughout his body impacted his muscular system and skeletal system. There is clearly more at play here than a dependence on prescription medication when more than eighty percent of Elvis’ bodily systems did not function properly. When we add to that the evidence that I have uncovered proving that of those nine, five-the circulatory (heart disease), respiratory (Alpha 1), digestive/excretory (megacolon), nervous (insomnia) and immune (hypogammaglobulinemia)-were present since birth and certainly prior to the prescription drug use that accompanied fame." Elvis dedicated his life to getting his family out of poverty, and keeping them out. At the end of his life he had more than 100 people on his payroll, and I believe that he was a very ill man who was struggling to continue to provide for those he loved, and to give everyone what they wanted--Elvis Presley. I am thankful that Sally has done some interviews that are posted on KZread, and has written a book that helps us understand the man, and that gives him back his integrity. He was NOT a dope riddled man. He was an ill man trying to survive, and who wanted to continue to bless the world with his unique gifts. Baz Luhrman got this wrong in his movie.
WOWWW!! WOWWW, WOWWW. LO AMOOO!!❤❤❤❤❤👑❤👑❤👑❤❤👏👏👏👏😘
It blows my mind and breaks my heart to think this performance was his last and he would die weeks later.
He owns the song, thats for sure.. Can't express it any better...
Elvis was the beginning and the end and we will love him forever. Thank you for your show please review Don’t Think Twice

This Voice is so Strong . Uff, 😢Elvis, du fehlst. Thanks for your Music
As a lifelong Elvis fan, it's always difficult to see him in that '77 concert. It makes you wish that the people around him could have done something to change the course of events that were to unfold.
It is strange.... You can see his beauty under that swelling..despite his difficulties to even breath ..he deliveres once again with charisma that left you in awe. High notes, that falsetto..... Elvis was a proud man..to be on stage knowing that he does not look good.. that is bravery. By the way I love your shirt

He passed away a few weeks after this incredible concert 😔...
Yes, Elvis' voice and what he did with it - amazing! 'Unchained Melody' was a hit in the 1950s done by both Al Hibler and Roy Hamilton. Later it was a hit again by the Righteous Bros. As usual, Elvis' version is special.
Breaks my heart every single time I see this. 😢

I was 12 years old, riding in the back seat of my parents '62 Plymouth Fury on August 16th 1977. My folks had taken my sisters and I out to lunch near Aquatic Park, Fisherman's Wharf when it was announced on the radio that Elvis had died.......no one said a word the rest of the way home but you could feel the pain and heartache in the silence. Whenever I see this video of his last performance, I think it's in South Dakota? His amazing voice still brings tears to my eyes 43 years later!

hans franklin I was sitting in my car outside the high school baseball practice field waiting for my son when I heard the news. One of those incidents when you remember where you were.
Even though he was sick he never lost his voice.
Makes me cry every time I watch this . Know how sick he was and still to perform for his fans. He loved his fans as much as we loved him. Elvis always brought it until the end. TCB

That brought tears to my eyes watching him. He died 6 weeks later. No one comes close to Elvis, he was a gift from God, and his looks, voice, charisma, dancer/mover, and most of all his empathy for others, makes him the "KING" of music. No one could ever come close to his talent, ever. I listen to him sing every day, and his voice is like no other. I will always love him.

The powerful voice of the Greatest entertainer
Always will be the King of Rock and Roll!
An operatic performance of a rock ballad. Unbeatable!
He is untouchable ... that gorgeous smile ..... long live the KING of music . RIP x
Everyone, let’s not forget he was gone 6 weeks later, he was playing piano while singing AND he hit notes like this - with this kind of raw power, passion and depth WHILE SITTING DOWN!
goose bumps,,I love Elvis
Before Elvis There Was Nothing....Even After...Long Live The King Of Music
HE IS SO PASSIONATE ❤️
I've watched this last live performance of his so many times over and knowing in hindsight that it would only be weeks before he died just breaks my heart. Towards the end when he sings My Way.. I have never been able to stop the tears. There will never be another Elvis
Elvis was an amazing talent to the end.
He has such beautiful and strong voice .
You see and hear him struggling with his breath, but his voice is spectacular. Elvis was the King and still is nothing will ever compare x

Es ist so herzergreifend er ist so großartig warum musste er so früh Gehen es schmerzt immer noch nach 46 Jahre 😢😢😢 ich liebe seine Stimme sein Lachen einfach alles er war sooooo ein schöner Mann ❤❤❤ Es wird niemals ein Elvis geben mit solch einer Stimme danke Elvis 👑👑👑 Ich liebe dich ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You can tell just by looking at him that he was just so tired. It's obvious that he was in poor health but there was so much sadness and fatigue in his eyes. He didn't look like he could make it through another song but he shockingly belted this one out. What a performance. He did How Great Thou Art just a couple of weeks before he passed.....it was stunning. You really need to check that one out. I had goosebumps the whole time he was singing it.
The King forever...
He put his whole body & soul into that song Its my all time favorite There will never be another Elvis Thank God for him Love this man
Unbelievable that he died shortly after this! Incredible voice!
The best of the best!!!!He had, had 3 heart attacks by this time. The one side of his heart was 2 times larger than the other. So that's why he had a hard time breathing. I read somewhere that said he was quite a good piano player. A very talented and gifted man.😊

I just can't watch this....I've seen this many times and my heart 💔 😔 This is why he's the King and always will be. No one will ever come close to his talent. Here it is, 47 years after his passing, and we're still amazed by him. It has been said before...his body may have failed him but, his voice never did. Rest is peace Elvis. We love and miss you deeply ❤️ 💖 💓 💗 💕

Every time I see this I cry. Six weeks later he was gone. Unbelievable voice. God Bless this beautiful man and his beautiful soul. RIP
This song rips your heart out absolutely brilliant.
A very great emotional song.
I'd forgotten how well he played the piano until I watched his performance here again. He worked hard at keeping it together for his fans though one could see how it was a bit exhausting for him. I'm so glad he looked happy here, smiling for his audience and seemingly satisfied he gave them his best. 😘

People came to watch him here because he is Elvis..and nobody else. His greatest days were behind him but the was the King...no matter what! And this stuff matters!!
The King!!!
Before ELVIS there was nothing ♥️ his voice os increíble ...
Death was catching up with him but that voice never failed!
We have never seen nor will we see a performance like this. It is absolutely unrepeatable.
Just weeks before passing and the voice is beyond incredible 👑
Just The King
He owned every song he sang. The most beautiful and powerful voice ever. 2021
I love those smiles he gave to the audience and then the band... He may have been thinking 'i got this'. Elvis band and background singers always knew how to follow Elvis and pick up his flaws. They could synchronize to perfection. There will never be another Elvis. I'm thankful I saw him perform in Monroe, LA in early 70s.

He gave his all to his fans and at the time we didnt know he was close to the end .cause we loved him for what he was .the one and only.
Always brings a tear when I watch Elvis perform this song, you can see he's not well, but he still gives one hell of performance with such strong vocals. That's why he is still referred to as the 'King' to this day.
It's so sad to watch him like this. And it was cruel for anyone to say he was ugly. He was heavier, but he was still the Elvis that we came to love and enjoy. The twinkle in his eyes was still there and his smile was just as captivating as ever. 😊 He was very sick from whatever caused it, but have us fans his all right up to the end. I feel sorry for the ignorance in some people to talk about him the way they did. In my opinion they are the ugly ones not Elvis.The day we lost him a great light went out all over the world, and he was loved by people all over the world. Nobody could ever take his place. He was asked one time about who he sounded like and he said nobody. And that is indeed true for his voice and his essence is truly special and unique. RIP dear Elvis and thank you for so many wonderful memories we will cherish. 😊😇😢
