elvis tribute-yesterday when i was young by roy clark

[shibby1965]

love u roy

[shibby1965]

perfect song for E....buy the perfect singer, Mr. Clark.....I cried

[farres0031]

yes it s a originally a french song by the great CHARLES AZNAVOUR a song called HIER ENCORE .. and charles sang it in english too.. i believe he wrote the two versions..

beautiful song!!!

[RockLives4u]

The Baseball great Mickey Mantle loved this song.He felt that it explained his life...He had met Roy and asked him to sing this song if he were to die..Roy said okay, but felt it was more of a polite but not serious request.. When Mickey was dying he called Roy and spoke with him..Roy sang this song at Micks funeral, not a dry eye in the place..Class just class

[NorthDakotan49]

This is Roy Clark and not Elvis signing this song.

[MsSharpei481]

vous avez raison c'est bien une traduction française car c'est Charles Aznavour qui a écrite cette chanson et le titre en Hier encore

[arvikas12]

I cant understand dude why u prefer using someone else songs for elvis tribute as he himself was a great singer n his own songs can be easily devoted to him.And this is such a beautiful song composed by Roy that he should be given credit for that and also dedicated to him only.

wow....what an awesome song...

[Nicronon]

This is one of my all time favorite songs. Very beautiful and oh so meaningful. Too bad most of us don't learn until it's too late.

RIP Roy.

This Song is the story of My life! Almost word for word! I bought this on 45 because it was a beautiful song and ironic how it applied to me! This song is being sung by Roy Clark who also wrote it! I don't think it was written as a tribute to anyone! but it's just about those of us who thought we were going to be young forever and didn't use our life for the best for ourselves and for the betterment of others!

[joemefford]

@Dexhu Actually I believe it was written by a French singer and was called Hier Encore (Yesterday Again). It was then translated into English and popularized by Roy Clark. At least that's what I've heard.

[evannell]

fits perfectly

[alexthasy]

OK I got it.

I thought it was a tribute to Mickey Mantle and that Roy sang it at his funeral

[dougalmca]

hi alexthasy, i did not mean to misslead or confuse anyone, i just thought that this was a great song, and being an elvis fan, i decided to use the words in this song as a tribute.

[alexthasy]

I got that. I love Roy interpretation. I don't think Elvis could have rendered it better.

[alexthasy]

This is Roy Clark not Elvis

[dougalmca]

hi there, i have always thought that the words of this song would be a great tribute to elvis, glad you agree.

[angelibacout]

Lindo!!! Obrigada, há muito que eu queria ouvir.

[dougalmca]

hi angel, i am glad you liked it.

[ShayleeBabii]

[dougalmca]

its funny how most of the sad ones have a lot of truth in the words, thanks for dropping by, and glad you liked it.

[ShayleeBabii]

there were so many mispellings in that im surprised you understood it. lol, but yeah like the song alyssa lies is really sad. i guess its sadder because you know its true and just not like made-up.

[Tenerillie]

Fantastic.. T.C.B Forever

[dougalmca]

[rebels82]

Happy 74th birthday, Elvis. May you inspire us forever with your music and mystic.

[MsMoodyBlue]

A very beautiful tribute sad and touching!

[dougalmca]

hi msmoody, glad to see you back, and really glad you liked it.

[bigbadassjohnson]

dougalmca, Looking at your posting handle, I have to ask you about your name - would you be a McLeod? Just wondering, 'cause I am. Love of music runs in my family. Nice tribute, one great musician heard, another eulogized. Very touching and heartfelt tribute, nice work.

[dougalmca]

hi big, thanks for the very nice comment, like yourself, i come from a music loving family, i only came onto youtube to get some of the great music on here, but soon felt like i was taking from everyone and giving nothing back, so decided to post a few to give something in return.

[loriL64]

This is great Dougal, I wonder what Elvis would think of is following now if he were here 5*****

[dougalmca]

thank you loril, i just wanted to do a different kind of tribute, so glad you liked it.

[fieryangel123]

Love it Dougal this is a fantastic video, and i guess he would have thought this if he knew what the next day would bring.

5* to you hun x

[dougalmca]
