Скачать или смотреть Elvis Called 'Hurt' the Saddest Song He'd Ever Heard — And He Sang It Through His Tears

Las Vegas, August 1976. The spotlight hit Elvis Presley as he walked slowly to the piano, dressed in black instead of his usual sequined jumpsuit. Two thousand people fell silent, sensing something was different tonight. Elvis sat down heavily, adjusted the microphone with trembling hands, and spoke in a voice already thick with emotion: "I'm about to sing the saddest song I've ever heard in my life. I can barely get through it without breaking down." He paused, wiping his eyes before he'd even played a note. "But I need you to hear it. I need to get it out." Then his fingers found the opening chords of "Hurt," and within seconds, tears were streaming down the King's face as he sang about a broken heart that would never heal. He never stopped singing—not even when his voice cracked, not even when the tears came so hard he could barely see the keys.
