Elvis Presley wasn’t just a performer he was a feeling. Through heartbreak ballads or energetic rock ‘n’ roll, he always made his audience feel something real. Millions still follow Elvis for his raw honesty and relatable feelings, and you can feel that connection clearly in the live performance of “If You Love Me (Let Me Know)” from Austin, Texas, in 1977.
In this live video, Elvis stands in front of a crowd that’s hanging on his every word. The song, gentle and sincere, becomes something more in his hands almost like a personal plea. His voice is strong, but there’s a weariness too: one that adds weight to every line. You can see the emotion on his face and you can hear it in the way he lingers on certain words.

Fans in the comments talk about how powerful this performance is, especially coming so late in his career. Some say it shows his vulnerability. Others call it one of his most heartfelt moments. It’s the kind of performance that reminds you why Elvis mattered and why he still does.
While “If You Love Me” is soft and searching his song “Don’t Be Cruel” is pure charm and rhythm. One shows a man asking for love with open hands while the other is full of playful confidence. “Don’t Be Cruel” feels like the Elvis who first stole hearts on TV: sharp, clever, and totally in control. You can almost see him flashing that famous smile as he delivers each lyric.
