Elvis Presley - I Want To Be Free Lyrics

i think kng creole is probably the best elvis film

Brings back sweet memories of when I was a teenager. Love hearing this again its been a long time. ELVIS will live on for generations. 💖💖

great music in king creole

Such a wonderful voice, the most beautiful man ever

Favorite Elvis song of all time.

Elvis was a pioneer - so many firsts - the first to sell 1 million records in advance (Love Me Tender), the first major singing star to do movies, the first to do "unplugged" (68 comeback special), the first to do a concert via satellite, the first to put Las Vegas on the map etc etc. What an amazing perfomer who inspired so many different singers and groups that came after him...

Love this song, love Elvis. Back in the day, we girls went "bonkers" whenever a new Elvis song came out, DJs usually playing the new song right after every station-break for News or whatever. Today, hearing this Elvis I Want To Be Free song has me wondering how we lost the freedom we had back in the day. We had privacy, freedom of speech, and none of this politically correct nonsense. Thanks to Youtube, we still have Elvis. I love this "Free" song, the word itself reminding me of the "good old days." . .

Its NOT Elvis

My Grandad and Dad’s favourite singer this was my grandad’s song xx R.I.P Elvis, My Grandad and Dad 💖💖💖

Be free will jede Mensch wenn du das nicht hast bist du gefangen. .in Herz. .

As I approach 70 years of age. I this one song always allows me to be 7 years old again for a few minuets. So many special memories..........

C'est un grand film suivi de belles et formidables chansons de 1957interprétées par le KING qui restera un grand artiste dans le monde entier 💓 💚💚 je suis son crazy fan depuis plus de 40 ans 👑👑👑 mr / ABBAS 💚💚ALGER 👒👒👒 ALGERIE 👑👑👑👍👍👍👒👒👒🎩🎩🎩 👍👍👍👑👑👑👒👒👒🎩🎩

Great Songs..a tumultuous life..lots of energy and talent...very inspiring life and story

Elvis probably felt this way later in his life.. when he was isolated to Graceland due to his immense fame... SUch a powerful singer.

THAT AINT ELVIS'S ASSHOLE SINGIN THAT...SUCH BAD PRONOUNCIATION.
NO WAY THATS EP. IF IT IS HE'S SUFFERIN FROM NASAL CONGESTION LOL

Sounds like this tune is somewhat based on : "the platters" +" The great pretender"

The greatest singer in the world. Thank you elvis for being a big part of my life. My hero since childhood.

Elvis I miss you so, but I play your music everyday. You're the best in the music history.

Gran interpretacion. Cantada con mucho sentimiento.

Amazing

fabuloso talento

I wanna be free like a bird in tree

I love this song

clear inspiration for many songs even too this day.

is there a live version?

Incomparable. Inimitable.

toutes c'est vidéos d'Elvis que j'adore love

Charming and unforgettable King***

Just maybe the technology to mix was better in the 1970's. But I truly love the raw voice talent of the 50's & 60's before the Coronal made him a movie clown.

Elvis odio a los mexicanos porque nunca pudo superarlos esta cancion la interpretaron mejor los Teen Tops claro un Grupo Rocanrolero muy mexicano

MTG Contratistas .elvis jamas supo de los teen tops

I was typing out the words to this song instead of the lesson I was told to type out. This was back in highschool in 1958,
and the the teacher, a middle-aged redhead, asked me what I was doing. I told her it was a poem. She smiled and walked away.

just unforgettable

This man was the definition of the word artist

Love and like Elvis

abs0lutly wonderful

i want to be free, 😘😘

travellers haha!

meilleur chanson d'Elvis

Another Jailhouse rock classic! Thanks. <3

Was not in Jailhouse rock it was something else.

It definitely was in Jailhouse Rock! It's one of the first songs Vince learns from Hunk Houghton.

ΠΑΝΤΟΤΙΝΑ ΣΤΗΝ ΚΑΡΔΙΑ ΜΟΥ

LOve this song

I love this song !

new orthopedic high fidelity

tommorow elvis day on my birthday soo cool

Love this beautiful true song and Elvis  for ever !!!

awesome singer rip elvis

elvis presley the original the emancipator the bad ass!

To say he wasn't the complete package because he didn't write his songs is nonsense-he was a singer not a songwriter just like so many others including Frank Ella Dean etc How many songwriters can sing their own songs well?

+tim preston Let's see....Lennon and McCartney, Jagger and Richards, Dylan, Neil Young, CSN, Michael Jackson, the Beach Boys (back in Elvis' days), Willie Nelson, and lots of other country people I cannot name that were writing and recording not far from where Elvis lived.... At that time, there were lots of rock and roll groups, and people like Smokey Robinson. Neil Diamond became huge with hits like Sweet Caroline, that he wrote himself. Billy Joel was starting out. And even better, Jackson Browne, the Eagles (Don Henley's voice and writing are exceptional). Joni Mitchell wrote song after song and sang beautifully... Believe me, it was a big deal with people in the business--money-wise, you got to keep it all, and creating-wise, you were not dependent on others to get a song or album out, and to perform the songs forever after. Elvis had the best voice--few would disagree. If he could have written too, he'd have been free of limits and earned huge amounts above what he did. BTW, Frank, Ella, Dean were an older generation. Elvis was rock and roll. And rockers created their music. That had to bug him sometimes.

People like you listen to the word of the music and intellectualize it rather than feel the soul of the music. To you Little Richard and Pat Boone sang he same song. The words may have been the same but it was not the same song! And it is sad that you can not appreciate the soul of a song to understand that. As far as the importance of Elvis goes I will take the opinion of the great song writers over your opinion any day: Lennon-"before Elvis there was nothing" and "nothing ever affected me until Elvis"; McCartney-"I doubt very much if The Beatles would happen if it was not for Elvis" (and go youtube the video of him swooning over the "Elvis" bass) ; Jagger-"No-one, but no-one, is his equal or ever will be..."; Dylan "The highlight of my career? That's easy, Elvis recording one of my songs" (When he visited Sun Studios he kissed the spot on the floor where Elvis recorded his first song); Paul Simon "It was a bit dramatic but how the hell am I supposed to compete with that?" (referring to Elvis' version of Bridge over troubled water); Springsteen "Elvis is my religion"; Little Richard "Elvis was God-given, there is no other explanation. A Messiah comes around every few thousand years, and Elvis was it this time." ........

This song really makes me cry! It is about my life

elvis...enorme

Elvis Presley gave so much of his self to the public

I love sweater Elvis.

How his voice matured over the years.I don't think he reached his full potential until the late 60's.That and his enormous drive and talent,and of course THOSE looks.

it's not about perfection but uniqueness...none of his songs from 1960 on give me goosebumps like the young and raw elvis.

ProFishingGuys have you never heard it's now or never??

le plus grand chanteur de tous les temp

cyninbend Elvis had depth, full talent, heart and soul, deep soul. He wasn't just a performer. He contributed artistically and musically to songs.
It is great to write your own songs, but not always necessary. Also, clearly no-one has what Elvis clearly had.....in abundance.
There will never be anyone like him.

Ann Thompson is Elvis hello live cuz if his book amazing if he's not then pray for him that he can come back

Love very good song,Thank you

Love this song.

älskar den låten, och är han sååå vacker <3

I have yet to hear another artist reach different notes/octaves so closely the way Elvis could.  He's amazing and will never be matched.  Never.

I'm gonna assume you don't listen to many other singers, Elvis was great, but definitely not any better than all the other greats of their time.

ดีมากคร้าบ..

ik heb altijd van elvis presley gehouden en imiteer hem omdat ik heel me leven van hem houd ik zing nummers van elvis heb zelf een donkere mooie stem
love elvis

WONDERFUL... THANKS.

JAARNO88 had said that Elvis was 'underperforming' in the film version of this song. Yes as he is acting the prisoner Vince Everett. In this version we hear Elvis being Elvis and get a chance to compare an 'ordinary' version with a great version.

Christine Standing k

THE KING

Westside for life

Really love this song - both the movie version and this one for the record...a great song!

Awesome song such a good yet simple melody! theses times were the best for music in my opinion the 30 people that disliked obviously don't have ears.

Jailhouse Rock !

I got the early box set.

Just go 2 U-Tube,, and they have every song Elvis did.

U-Tube has every song Elvis did.

The King is alive and well in his music. Such a loss. Goes to show all the money, fame, and fortune and he was still lonely and sad. A country kids rising from poverty to too much to fast. OMG I still miss Elvis so much. Long live the King of Rock N Roll!

One of my 429 favorites.

Anyone can help me!?!? This my favourite Elvis song, I've listened most of his popular songs n im aware he has many more but not heard any more which im sure there are that are like this one. I want to hear them, any help is appreciated

glen, no truer words were ever spoken...the most important figure in popular music !!!

The greatest popular artist that America has ever seen! An enduring symbol of humanity.

debe de estar en un disco de 1957, pues es parte de la banda sonora de la película Jail house rock!!!

The Best !

I hate these ridiculous ads on all the videos!!!!!!

Mah boy, Mah boy! Didn't he just have it all? Right down to ''the most envied head of male hair on Earth. If you've seen Jailhouse Rock or King Creole, you know he had great promise as an actor. If some of the latter movies were more ''vehicle'' than art, it doesn't change the fact he was the highest paid actor of his era, as befits The King. I've always loved the gospel stylings Elvis and the Jordonaires brought to this song. He had it all and made the world a better place. Long Live The King!

awesome video, greats pictures

WHAT record??? I'm looking at his complete discography right now and it's NOT here!!

"Love Me" never came out on a single/45.  It was released on an EP - an extended play 45 RPM record - with three other songs:  "Paralyzed," "Rip It Up," and "When My Blue Moon Turns To Gold Again."  Because of the sales of that EP, and the requests radio stations received for "Love Me," the song cracked the Top Ten.  The proper name of that EP is "Elvis Volume One, EPA-992."

I'm writing that sheet music now

its the super Rock n roll Elvis the one in the white jumpsuit

It ain't Justin Beiber !!!!!!!!!!!

greatest ever singer to ever walk the planet.

Excellent! Thanks.

actually it was 3 days, so i've heard :)

his female co-star Judy Tyler (dark hair) died 3 weeks after shooting the film Jail House Rock....so Elvis refused to see the film.

People that think this isn't Elvis, obviously don't listen to his music.

Elvis, "follow Me" You'll be free....Elvis followed august 16,1977, now Elvis free-er than a bird in a tree.. He followed Jesus The Christ ,I hope..but boy! that Elvis , more profound in his simplicity than all the genius's with all their complexities..Elvis still king of the rocking heap after leaving this realm 35 years ago....It is now 2012.
