An artist is defined by some acts; others have a transcendent quality. From Aloha from Hawaii in 1973, Elvis Presley’s ‘What Now My Love’ is a stunning show of pure stage presence, vocal power, and unfiltered emotion. With each note he writes, he owns the heartbreak in the words, therefore changing the song into a soul-breaking experience.
Elvis is center stage, clad in his well-known white jumpsuit and singing his heart out. The way he constructs the song—from gentle, agonizing openness to booming strength—demonstrates why he was, is, and always will be The King. His voice is unparalleled, his enthusiasm untempered, and the outcome is a once-in-a-lifetime event still decades after gives chills decades later.
