  • Makes me think of my sweet Mom. I thank her for Bringing Elvis and music period into my life. I can't imagine the world without it. God bless.

  • Say what you will about the darker side of his life, but he was a great singer and performer. I wish he was still with us cause he'd still be rocking.

  • THE BEST

  • It's hard to explain what this song does to me hearing Elvis sing

  • One thin Elvis never lost... His voice!

  • fuck 6 people

  • He is the only king that I love!!!

  • And they where tru he still is the king!

  • From England - this is the best song ever... fact.

  • @1paramed

    You're right. I can't really think of any other song that can match this one. It has it all. It's the perfect song!

  • looks like elvis liked kissing the blondes? wow!!! did he ever have all the ladies wanting him soooo bad or what ?!? he truly was the King !!! RIP Elvis............

  • I got a 45 of this for a birthday present when I was 7. Never forgot it and wish I still had it.

    

  • This song is just...Power.

  • Well done! Thanks!

  • This man was a naturally gifted talent and performer who owned every stage he was ever on. Any artist since him has the free gift to study and learn of this man's natural ability to "connect" with his band and audience. It is essential to do so, and NO ONE in the business has come close to having this artist's natural gift and strength since he, "Left the building".

  • Elvis was one of the greatest performers of all time he called Jesus the King!!!

  • One Of My Favorite Elvis Songs Wish I Could Have Seen Him Live (Before My Time). I'm Glad I Get The Chance to Play Guitar For Johnny Harra And He Will be The First To Tell You "I'm Not Elvis I Just Want To Recreate Some Memories Of The King Elvis Presley"

  • was Elvis born in Tupelo or East Tupelo?

  • Check out Dave Lennard if you get a chance great new live performer!!

  • Elvis totally had videos they were just in movie form. 

  • Great Song.

  • well done.

  • Yep just plain and simple The King

  • No one will ever replace elvis, many have tried.

  • too good, just fabulous singing back up vocals, great band and elvis is outstanding. great camera footage.

  • too good, just fabulous singing back up vocals, great band and elvis is outstanding.

  • The true king! 

  • The King of Music! ELVIS!!!!

  • These are absolutely amazing images and concert footage...you chose some really, truly outstanding ones...nice job

    REALLY GREAT ELVIS THE KING 4 EVER!!!!!!!

    *****Love Phyllis

  • LOVE THIS!

  • yeah kentucky woooo

  • Best Singer ever. He sold over 1 billion albums and was wicked charitable.

    A good man :)

  • I was in Kentucky a year ago and it was raining, I thought of this song!

  • ...and how many so called artist 2day ever register for the military, let alone serve??? Nah, this days its all about "me" f#$&*n talentless jackassess!!! This cat set the standard that no one 2day will ever reach. Michael Jackson was talented, however, I don't believe he has the same staying power, not to mention hes a bit "soft" for my taste. GOOD SHOW ELVIS, GOOD SHOW!!

  • @luminox100 TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU MATE LONG LIVE THE KING!!!!

  • @luminox100

    Michael will never be on Elvis' level. Elvis was a god amongst men... Michael liked to moonwalk. End of story.

  • GOD BLESS YOU SIR.

  • Further to my earlier comment this is my mums favorite era of Elvis thankyou mum for introducing me to this wonderful man

  • This is the first Elvis single that my mum Yvonne ever bought and this has got to be the Elvis song that started it all for both me and mum without my mum buying this we both would never have been the Elvis fans that we are today this song is so special to the both of us.

  • Good news my king. You're still the biggest celebrity on the planet!

  • My all-time favorite Elvis song. Amazing that this (one of the great all-time story songs) came almost at the end of his career (along with Burning Love) - yet he was largely shut out from Top 40 radio at this point. It's also sad that the three biggest musical icons - Elvis, The Beatles and Michael Jackson - all ended in tragedy, with John Lennon assasinated by a nut, while Elvis and MJ died of drug related incidents. Even sadder is that all three never seemed to find true hapiness.

  • Dear God, if u give us Elvis Presley back, i will give u Justin Beiber and The Jonas Brothers. Amen,

  • @Jalanko13 Can i throw in Taylor Swift as a Bonus!!

  • The only man in four Music Halls of Fame. Genius. 33 years after his death he's still more famous than anyone else...he still sells out concerts faster than anyone else. Who else could do that 33 years after they've died? No one. a few more facts...did you know Elvis' face has graced the stamps of 51 countries and US Elvis stamp is still the #1 selling stamp of all time?... and more people tuned in to watch the Aloha special (1.5 bil) than tuned in to watch man's first steps on the moon?1.2 bil.

  • Elvis.....enough said...

  • uh i would give anything or anyone to have him alive agian!

  • He will always be the KING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The King Of Rock`n`Roll and of our hearts!!!

    Loving you Elvis yesterday, today, tomorrow and for eterntity...Until The Twelfth Of Never <3

  • Did anyone know who wrote this song? Eddie Rabbit! (who sang "Love a Rainy Night")

  • Man knew how to put on a show..No wonder the women loved him.

  • I was born and raised in KY it sucked! its a fucked up state,i moved to WV,when i was 20 i love it.

  • Duh not much different between Ky. and WV.

  • Will we ever see A man sing like him ever Not----

  • genious song,amazing performer,there will never another like him.....ever.

  • magnifique chanson, magnifique vidéo!

    Georges

  • one of my favorite songs of his.

  • Can't beat Elvis OR Kentucky! --The Great American Dollhouse Museum

  • The move he makes at the mic at 2:31 is epic.

  • one of the best songs ever by anyone

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINDA!!!

  • This is my FAVORITE Elvis song! BY FAR! Though I love all his songs!

    5 words is all you need to know about Elvis.

    "ALL HAIL THE KING, BABY!"

  • this song makes me cry every time I hear it.  It is so emotional. I feel so emotional every time I hear it.

  • My favorite Elvis song...and it is so sad but also beautiful..written by the late great Eddie Rabbitt

  • i agree...my altime favorite!

  • Best Elvis song ever.

  • This dude became famous without music videos...and is still famous. I wonder which artist today can pull that off again????

  • yh i like to see someone else do that

  • indeed. most artist today are cookie cutter artists...at best.

  • @luminox100 and just thimagine he was admired all over the globe without touring once outside the states. that's why he is still one of the greatest entertainers to date.

  • Another great point charlotte! Truly no one can match his span of influence.

  • @luminox100 i know. elvis wasnt a copy cat. he made history. he made it his own. elvis was a gospel man. i love his gospel music.

  • @luminox100

    you got that ****right brother.

  • @luminox100

    So true... Today we have WAY too many posers acting like the legends of yesterday with NONE of the charisma/talent.

  • @luminox100 Yes and no. True Elvis shot to fame before the advent of music videos. However, don't forget all the movies he made - many of which were not very good, just reasons for Elvis to sing and dance. In a way, they really were long music videos.

  • @jimraw1 Actually if you think about it, the top entertainers have always taken advantage of the visual medium. Sinatra's movie career certainly helped set that image; Barbara Streisand was the same. Don't forget the Beatles, who probably knew how to manipulate the media better than anyone - till they became prisoners of it. Actually all three of the biggest music acts - Elvis, The Beatles, and MJ - all ended with such tragic results.

  • @luminox100 He created music videos, as well as UnPlugged!!!! And on and on.....Before anyone did anything, Elvis did everything.

  • @luminox100 Your point is true. But, Elvis made many movies and appeared on TV. That is how he got a lot of "visual" exposure.

  • @luminox100 nobody will ever come close to being as famous as Elvis

  • If MJ IS a king....you must specify that he is the "King of Pop". Elvis, on the other hand, is just simply THE KING!

    LONG LIVE THE KING!

  • @draganryo

    mj isn't even worth mentioning compared to Elvis.

  • @draganryo I agree. While others are called King (+ something) of some kind, Evils is just The King, in other words THE KING OF MUSIC.

  • @draganryo really well said

  • @draganryo No let me rectify you Elvis said he was no goddamned King! No that's the true Elvis Presley, Elvis is Elvis plain n simple no titles needed ur King is MJ!

  • @draganryo No let me rectify you Elvis said he was no goddamned King! No that's the true Elvis Presley, Elvis is Elvis plain n simple no titles needed ur King is Michael Jackson!

  • @Zecalran You're just a loser thats sad that everyone has forgotten about him since he's not in the tabloids every other day now!

  • @justinge999 that's because I got tired of being in the tabloids especially every other day now! :) cheers m8!

  • I love his country songs :)

    Johnny Cash and Elvis: Best performers and artists of all time!!

  • the man was is and always will be a legend he just kist 7 broads lol

  • This is the best Elvis song of all time....

  • thank Q!

  • elvis presley is not the king

    he is the resurection of Jezus Christ

    the profecy is fulfilled

  • HE IS KING OF ROCKN ROLL DUM AASSS

  • learn to spell and I notice you have to call names to make your point.

    and I ment in symbolical who he confortes people with his songs and how he reaches out to people.

    so tony i guess your the #@$@ here

  • oo i woke up to this song... i love him hes so good i have to get his songs on my ipod

  • mjackson is little girl elvis a man

  • indeed

  • ELVIS had all top song writers begging for him to do there songs,he didnt have to write his own songs he had the best giving there songs to him so he could set them for lifeeeeeee

  • The love is in the editing. Nice friggin work.

  • Favorite Elvis song. Great!!!

  • I used to listen 2 this ballad on the "tube type" desk radio the hippie kid up the street gave to me, Junior high, early 70's era. I loved it, but maybe the station wasn't announcing song names; I didn't know for years it was Elvis, 'til he was in pants-splitting era, I think... (

    Yes, I know 'bout his problem) the "cool, hip, drug / cynicism" music coming on made me think his was old-timer stuff. When I learned this song was him, surprised me. Grey bearded men & praying preacher-Timeless!

  • EP AND MJ are both awesome! Love them both. America has 44 Presidents and only 2 Kings.

  • No, they have 44 Presidents but only 1 KING.

    Michael Jackson is a little girly princess. Elvis is the KING!

  • THEY HAVE 1 KING AND 1 QUEEN I THINKyou know who the queen is?????

  • Love these Song!

  • did elvis write is own songs ?

  • nope

  • no, but he wrote cc rider and helped with some other ones

  • Elvis was and always will be the KING OF ROCK 'N' ROLL.

  • No equal to this guy.

  • Definitely The King

  • Personal flaws aside (and he had very many), EP really was the King. Voice, background band, his own guitar playing, and the pure showmanship of his concerts. this guy really was The King.

  • Did you ever see MJ perform at an MTV Awards show,I believe? The only thing Michael lacked was playing an instrument himself but his voice alone with quite enough. Not discounting what you said about Elvis but I would name Elvis the King of Rock while naming Michael the King of Pop although quite a few of Michael's songs had a rock element to them. He was one of those artists who could get Blacks to listen to what would be considered White music and Whites to do the opposite.

  • In truth,one of many things that are the same concerning both artists was their ability to get people of all races to listen to and appreciate their music. Both had tremendous cross over appeal and that makes both kingly.

  • People at the end of the day let's realize one thing Elvis or MJ we shall not see their like again.

  • True that.

  • The King is still Alive , He faked his death , he got tired of all the people . He lives overseas now , everyonce in a while he shows up at Graceland and makes sure someone sees him in a window .

  • I would love to be one of those girls who kissed him!

  • The King of Rock, one and only! A LEGEND!!!! Hot, talented, AMAZING, out of this world! Thanks!

  • This song along with "Suspicious Minds" are my favorite Elvis songs. Never get tired of hearing them.

  • I am not an elvis hater or something.I like many of elvis's songs but the hatred u assholes are spreading about Mj is absolute nonsense.

    MJ is the king of entertainment.Elvis is only the king of rock and roll.Mj could play a variety of instruments that include the guitar.Just listen to elvis and shut up,dont talk about MJ

  • I can understand you defending MJ but I think it is wrong to comment on a video about Elvis saying MJ was better. I think neither was better than the other and if someone cannot appreciate either they should just keep their mouth shut. It is better to say nothing than to say something negative,especially when saying something negative accomplishes nothing of a positive nature whatsoever.

  • Absolutely Correct.Both are equal.

  • Glad to see that someone can look at this from a reasonable standpoint besides myself.:-)

  • The guy at 00:10 is right.He is THE KING of MUSIC!!!And he will always be!

    RIP Elvis King Presley !

  • I love how Elvis NEVER self proclaimed himself the king of rock n roll! Everyone else did , he never had to proclaim himself the king.

    But Michael Jackson he self proclaimed himself the king of pop. Who calls themselves the king of pop? shouldn't other ppl be doing that for you?

    it's because he wasn't.

  • He did not self proclaim himself as the king of nething.Learn about history,if u dont know then shut up.Liz taylor called him the King of Pop Rock and soul at the 1984 grammys and then people started calling him the king of pop...its only in the late 90's and 2000's that he officially mentioned king of pop in his albums and he is absolutely fucking right in doing that.He is the king of music.

  • Plenty of people,allegedly besides himself,have called MJ the King of Pop.. And,I am not talking about just commoners either. Exactly what planet have you been living on to not have noticed this yet? The reason they have done that is because he was the King of Pop. If you want to dispute that,I dare you to name anyone else the King of Pop. Good luck with that because you are going to need it. The most you will end up doing is embarrassing yourself further.

  • Comment removed

  • A wonderful and poetic lyrics !!!!

    The King of rock'n'roll lives in ours hearts  forever, it's right !!!

  • Such an incredible performer!!!!  I wish I had been alive, and old enough to see Elvis. I love you, Elvis :( Dang! This is such a neat song.... And I love the opening lines *sigh*

  • check out 2:25-2:28!  that is THE COOLEST move ever! king

  • You're right! VERY sexy move!

  • I just love elvis, all of his work, SO much. and i'm only 15 lol. i cried whilst watching this. lots of kisses lol. pelvis action :)

  • ok lets do this,,, its friday and im in a good mood,, to all elvis fans, what is youre best memory or story of elvis??? i love to hear them. mine is he found out one of his guys stole his tcb ring and had some pictures of his wife to. and attempted to fly away with them. so from what i heard elvis took him off the plane and got his ring back. anybody here ever been to his concerts?? or anything funny?? sad?? or just heard?? thank you for youre time. rock the heavens king

  • "he will always be the king no matter what!"

    period!

  • I do love his later stuff more (from 1968-1977). His music just got better when he got older.

    May The KING OF ROCK 'N' ROLL LIVE ON!!!

    RIP, Elvis. We love you, sir!!

  • stupenda...bellissimo video!!

  • Uma das primeiras músicas Do Elvis que eu ouvi, e amei !!!!

    A letra é tão poética, o ritmo tão contagiante esse é o nosso rei do Rock !!!

    Um dos mais belos homens de todos os tempos !!!

  • HE IS THE KING!!!!!

  • Eddy Rabbit wrote this song.

  • Yes and Elvis made it gold and made Eddie Rich!

  • i (obviously) love this song. and the guy at 0:10 is right. i dont think that Elvis is the King of Rock n Roll, i mean he is, but i think hes more of the King of Music all together because his voice could dominate in singing ever genre of music, including rock n roll, country, gospel, etc. his voice was just simply a gift from God that we all will never forget.

  • great song its a clasic

  • I don't like the female voices in the chorus of this version.They ruin the song completely.

  • Well that was Elvis' choice to use the Sweet Inspirations and Kathy Westmoreland as his backup.

  • True.I have no problem with the backups, rather I feel their vocals are mixed in too loud during the chorus on this version.

  • I see what you mean.....I would always rather hear ONLY ELVIS TOO! " As the girl says, "He will always be the King NO MATTER WHAT!"

  • Exactly.That's what I was getting at......Cheers!

  • JESUS CHRIST IS KING.

  • Jesus don't have any songs or albums to my knowledge. so Elvis Presley = The King!

  • H HIODR! YOU ARE SO RIGHT and that was Elvis' sentiments exactly when he said to a fan, "Honey, I'm no King. I'm just a singer. Jesus Christ is the only king!"

  • this is for you mom.. from the bug.

  • yeah, elvis the ultimate king....

  • i am here in the cold ky rain....

  • greatest perfomer of all time. The most amazing voice,could sing anything

  • Yes he will always be The King.Beautiful song and great footage from'Thats the way it is'.Thanks for posting 5*****

  • HolyRomanEmperor...you understand?

  • elvis could sing anybody's song and make it HIS own. bottom line. king

  • I AM THE ONE/ONLY

  • you are the only king

  • T.H.E. K.I.N.G.

  • "elvis owns the beatles and thats a fact"

    Don't get me wrong, I like Elvis as much as anybody, but I think Lennon and McCartney actually WROTE a couple of their hit songs (and by a couple I mean pretty much ALL of them)

  • Ok but to take anyone else's song and make it better and make it a fooking HIT? That is what a true artist does. It doesn't make one bit of difference what songs he wrote (truth is he cowrote many) it is his personalite, showmanship and artistry and PIPES that made him who he was. A true KING. Long live Elvis!

  • elvis owns the beatles and thats a fact

  • Elvis is the King! No one will EVER take that away from him! The only other person that is the "king" is MJ but EVERYONE KNOWS Rock 'N Roll > Pop.
