Hail the King of Music's last performance of Unchained Melody

 

This performance of Unchained Melody is sang by the King of Music himself, Elvis Presley on June 21st, 1977. The performance was  57 days before his death in Graceland. This video shows the raw emotional core of Elvis belting out of this musical giant as he adds his own unique melodic pauses within this well known tune. At one point in this performance Elvis gives the crowd a quick smile that eases the tension in his performance. As Elvis reaches his belting phrases you can see the strain, the sweat flying and can still see the classic Elvis crinkling of his face and the perfectly shaped lips curl to their iconic look all while stamping his own magic touch on the face of this neck shivering performance. Even weeks before the end of his life, Elvis continued to pull off breathtaking performances such as this timeless rendition of Unchained Melody.
