Hey everybody welcome back again to Ken
Tamplin Vocal Academy where the proof is
in the singing. I'm doing a series called What Makes
This Singer Great and next up is Elvis.
Before we get started, please like and
subscribe to my channel that would be
awesome
and don't forget to ring that Bell so I
can keep more cool videos coming your
way and I have a singing course it's
called How to Sing Better Than Anyone
Else, you can find it right here at Ken
Tamplin Vocal Academy.com
so if you're interested in learning how
to sing or you're already a decent
singer or looking how to be a great singer, we do take downs and we cover all
of these great artists and we figure out
what made them great in hopes to help
make you great. So with that said what do
I think of when I think of Elvis. Well
because that's what I think of what
makes a singer great, it's the total
package of what goes into this guy or
girl and I think of a sex symbol you
know, he's just an incredible sex symbol.
I think of great songwriting and a very
emotive singer, very emotional, incredibly
emotional. I think of his being maybe one
of the biggest sensations to have ever
hit all of pop and rock history like
Beatles or or whatever and he was just
truly sensational and just took the
world by storm. Very few people do that where
they just consume the world, it's not
just you know a quick flash I mean it's
like BAM and to this very day, has maintained a certain level of popularity
which is pretty remarkable. You know so
sex symbol, emotive singer. I think of
his warm, smooth vibrato. So you know (sings).
That kind of you know, kind of quick,
caparino vibrato with a nice, warm sound
around it and then he has you know other songs. I mean some of my favorite songs
is you know "Love Me Tender" that's also very
warm vibrato, "Jailhouse Rock" we're gonna
play a little clip here, "Heartbreak Hotel",
"All Shook Up", "Suspicious Eyes.. Mind" excuse
me, "Blue Suede Shoes". I mean you just got
a ton of hits. I guess I also think of
those terrible movies that he made, the
beach movies and again this is kind of
going back and then but maybe Elvis pelvis right but anyway
so let's let's dive in to Elvis and see
what Elvis is made of here, here we go.
Check it out.
Guitar player.
So yeah and just a little short snippets
because I mean that kind of personifies I
think what Elvis was about and again I'd
like I say just great songwriting, great
bands. He always had a great band and the orchestration that he did with
arrangements with his music was
phenomenal and I guess I also think of
you know "thank you, thank you very much" and Elvis has left the building.
So tell me what I missed guys, what do
you think of when you think of Elvis.
Please put your favorite songs by Elvis in the comments section, that would
be awesome. Let me know what comes to
mind when you think of Elvis and what
you think made him great. I'm doing most
of this by request so if you have a
singer that you'd like me to cover or
what makes them great, please put that in
the comment section as well and check
out my next video.
