Crazy to think that ppl thought Elvis’s moves were inappropriate, he truly was just feeling the music! Parents of those days would drop dead if they saw the artists of today lol

[leep]

Currently on an Elvis binge after seeing the new film. What a showman he was and what a great voice. Its so tragic how he went from this man to who he was at the end. Long live the King 👑.

The fact that in 2024, we can watch live footage of a rock and roll legend who once existed is a huge blessing and shows the power of the internet at its best, thank you YouTube.

What blows my mind is this guy was just a singing, dancing, handsome rock star but to them that was the first one they’d ever seen so it just took their breath away

[oscarnapa]

The screams are louder than him LMFAO LOVE IT 🙏

[ef]

Like it or not: Elvis was the key to the future and an incredibly talented singer

Elvis couldn't stay still it just came natural. Even when he was recording, he would tap his foot. He would be 89 years old today. We lost him too soon. I'm playing Elvis Lives CD in honor of is death anniversary tomorrow 😢 RIP Elvis Aaron Presley 💞💞💞💞💞

ELVIS: *Blinks*

AUDIENCE: *hysterical screaming*

[thewonderfulw]

It's striking that he laughed it up when the girls screamed at every little motion of his body. It was like he couldn't believe it himself, and took it with laughter. What a man! The King, indeed.

Almost 70 years later and this songs still bangs. No question .

[rickyrydell]

Hard to believe he was only 21 here. So polished and confident!

[demimeaux]

The fact that we are in 2022 and I can look at this classic performance from the king himself and still be amazed is

[michaelgibson]

I think its fair to say that any entertainer that has been dead longer than he was alive and nearly 50 years latter, millions still sing his songs, dance, smile, cry and people are still mesmerized by him: He isn't a once in a lifetime but a once in history.

[shethingsd]

Elvis was definitely showing off here. And I love it.

[leokimvideo]

This guy looks pretty cool and he's funny. He might make it big.

[yesuis]

Elvis: literally does nothing.

Girls:

if there was ever a man that deserved to be called beautiful it was Elvis.

[YelloHowAreYou]

This dude here is the definition of swag.
Edit: James Brown is also the definition of swag 🙌

[coffeecatskimchi]

I can feel his charisma from the other side of the world and across 70 years. Dang. 😍

[derpmanthefirst]

His humor is really amusing-- it could definitely fit in today lol
