No doubt. Elvis could sing ANYTHING, vocals are always perfect.
You can plainly see the tears on his face and slightly trembling emotional voice.
Elvis love or hate him, he was a passionate kind man.
Elvis was a Gospel singer. He grew up poor in a diverse neighborhood. He loved everyone. 💕❤️💗.
he really was who we all should try to be more like. He also was fearless and was told not to perform this song on live tv and did it anyway to horrors of NBC executives and and those in power he took a real stand and forced change in the music industry with what he did with this famous live version of this song. Respect to him for his boldness and unwillingness toi stay silent.
He sang this for Martin Luther King, JFK and the dark red scarf was worn for the young men who gave their lives in VietNam.. The white suit was for Hope.
"If I Can Dream" written specially to close the "Comeback Special for NBC" by Elvis Presley.
Facts
Not JFK, it was his brother RFK...everyone forgets about Bobby 😭
You are 100% correct you know your Elvis
@@7777shayna do you want facts?
The recording was first released to the public as the finale of Presley's '68 Comeback Special.
After he sang this song his back up singers were crying and Elvis broke down back stage.. this song was for MLK ♥️🙏🏻
And Robert Kennedy
It actually used lines from MLK 1963 speach
It was first recorded two months after MLK's assassination. This song was definitely a tribute.
It wasn't til after the death of RFK that compelled Elvis to give a performance of this magnitude.
The song was written after the assassination of MLK. Elvis decided to close out the Comeback Special with it after Robert Kennedy was killed, which was the same month that the special was being filmed in June 68. It was not only a tribute to them but it represented how Elvis was feeling about what was happening in the country at the time.
The first white man to have black women in his band. That didn't go over well with those in power. Elvis didn't care, he kept them in his band
Are you serious?
First white man to have black women in his band!!
Do you believe in the invisible army or what?
Frank Sinatra refused to preform in a place/hotel/ whatever that his black band was not allowed to stay over night. He really wanted equality, and saw no difference in him and his band
When the boss of the houston astrodome concert didn't want the sweet inspirations to. Perform with Elvis he said he wouldn't perform if they didn't! Who won Elvis and the backup singers rode in the Elvis car that went around the stadium ! That's ELVIS !
Do you believe in Santa claus, hahahaha or the one_sided nonsense, hahahaha
Dedicated to Martin Luther King also while this was in production Robert Kennedy was assassinated
The scarf around his neck represented the blood that was being spilled from our boys in Vietnam
What a sad time in our history.
I know why Ana!!! ;)
@@joelteague8032 something he was protected from.
Zappa fan, suprise us with something else,hahahaha
Elvis was never comfortable when people started calling him the King of Rock, or the King, maybe the ONLY popular figure to denounce the gesture publicly. When a fan called him the King once he bent dont towards the audience to address the fan and said to her, "There is only one King, Jesus Christ." You just don't see this kind of ethics and human compassion today from our entertainers.
7 girls held up a sign saying Elvis You're The King and I was looked at him and said no Jesus Christ is the king
Amen 🙏🏿
I never call him the “king of rock” because of his public proclamation! He is an extraordinary performer and soulful singer!
Yes, I know about that moment when he said Jesus was the only King. But there is another episode in Elvis' life where a reporter said, "Elvis, you are the king of rock n' roll." Then Elvis said, "No! The real king of rock n' roll is him" pointing to singer, songwriter and pianist Fats Domino.
Fats Domino later said, "Elvis is right, I don't know anyone who has sung this (rock n' roll) before me.
But Fats Domino wasn't calling himself the king of rock, but the creator.
For Fats Domino and many black music singers at the time, it was not wrong to call Elvis the king of rock, although Elvis never accepted the title.
Elvis clearly knew who the Lord is ! JESUS IS LORD !!!
"but as long as a man has the strength to dream he can redeem his soul and fly..."
What a fantastic line.
The very best!
Elvis ALWAYS Said he WASN'T the King, Jesus WAS THE ONLY KING
Elvis was just plain King! Of Pop, Gospel, definitely Rock & Roll! And absolutely "Hotness!"
Peter Russell read your Bible Jesus is the KING!!
He sure did say that👍
Elvis was the better singer though.
that is true
He sang this after MLK was shot in his city(memphis) , this was the same year as that shooting, this is a tribute song. 💜 Elvis grew up in the Ghetto, his idols were first in the black community. As he sang it for the others too, it was written towards Martin Luther King.
He is singing his heart out!
He is so sincere.
That is because it's broken 💔 this was a tribute to Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy after their assassinations 😭
Pro musician here. EVERYBODY can sing his/her heart out. It only requires you to have… well, a heart.
But singing your heart out with perfect intonation, powerful, clean, supported voice, all of this while simultaneously displaying a consistent relentless expressive stage presence… man, THAT’S something.
Elvis is often called the king of rock and roll. But, he is really the king of music, in general. Like John Lennon said- “Before Elvis, there was nothing.”
Yes he is the KING of entertainment.
Uhhh Chick Berry was around man
And there has been nothing like him since 🥲
@@robertbentzel6881 yes he was good
Lennon was making fun of Elvis.
do you really think there was nothing before Elvis?
Did he create the world?
After Elvis Presley died on August 16, 1977, the African American newspaper, the Chicago Defender explained that: “When Elvis Presley breathed his last breath and the press hailed him as the ‘King of Rock,’ Ol’ Man River cried out, ‘Naw he ain’t! My friend Chuck Berry is the King of Rock. Presley was merely a Prince who profited from the royal talent of a sovereign ruler vested with tremendous creativity. Had Berry been white, he could have rightly taken [Presley’s] throne and worn his crown well.’”
The king of rock and roll Elvis Presley that is
This performance always make me emotional. He was feeling that. Beautiful man, beautiful message.
Doesn’t matter how many times I hear that song I just get goosebumps Elvis was a very nice person and generous when he died his father carried on his good work and donated large amounts of money to charity. Elvis sold more records than any other artist in history
This song is so appropriate even for what’s happening today. Timeless song.
Elvis was the king of rock n roll. MJ was the prince of pop.
Elvis was a very spiriual man. He didn't like being called a king. He said, on many occasion, that there is only one king that is the one sitting on the throne in heaven. Thank you for a heartfelt review.
I have been a fan of Elvis for more than 63 years now. Watched all his movies. Listened to all his songs. When he was made they broke the mold. There will never be anyone like him. Thank you for sharing this with us. Long live Elvis! Stay safe
Famos Elvis Quote "the same GOD made me .....made you" he did not see color.
The King forever 😎👍
Elvis is one of the most recognized & famous people in music history, & no doubt, one of the most talented, however his heart & love for humanity, is his true legacy 💚💜💗💚💜 I wish with every fiber of my being, that his dream would come true right now!!!
He sings with such passion. From his heart .
You can see the pain and passion in his face.
Elvis is the KING. Period.
Don't cry Daddy. That song brings tears to the eyes.
There was and will never be another. His music lives on today and forever. Not a racist person he loved everyone. God Bless Him
Elvis is the king of rock. Michael s the king of pop.
Rock & roll, not rock.
@@jimnicosia5934 yeah rock n roll.I should have stated that n
@@jimnicosia5934 Haha You felt the need to correct my short hand?
@@bign8580 no MJ didn't, I believe it was Elizabeth Taylor that said it first then everybody started calling him that
@@kelsi257 Yes .... Elizabeth said it at the awards .... BUT before that www.buzzfeed.com/perpetua/why-michael-jackson-is-called-the-king-of-pop .... Believe it or not ....
Elvis was the King of Rick-n-roll. 😊💖😊
Elvis had MUCH respect for black artists-- blues and gospel. It was in his heart and soul. He loved people and didn't judge people by the color of their skin.
This was straight from his soul... man his presence is remarkable.. I know why they called him the king.
Elvis was born poor and had a God given talent. He would go to the Black Church near his house in Tupalo Miss. and listen to the music. He was a humble man and he loved everyone. Not a racist bone in his body. Listen to his other music. Check out Jailhouse Rock which was considered to be the first music video in the 1950's. You won't be disappointed. He had problems just like everybody else, he was human. He never got political, served his Country and loved his Mother. He gave to countless charities and nought cars for perfect strangers. Read any of the books about. I promise you will walk away with a whole new outlook about the truly amazing man.
That’s why he’s called the king. Music is so versatile. Rock ‘n’ roll the blues Gospel and ballads the whole genre. The man is talented the man is bad ass. To me the best voice I’ve ever heard. Even though I like hard rock heavy-metal he’s one of my favorite singers.
Definitely rest in peace dr. King. Apparently when Elvis got the news, he was on the set of a movie that he was filming and they had to cancel production for a day because he went in the back room and just curled up in a ball and cry for hours. And I think you can hear this goodness tribute. The nation was so torn at that part. Will the Presidential assassination and then the president's brother getting assassinated and then of course dr. King and Malcolm X and others. Anna course the Vietnam War. There was just so much intense suffering going on and Elvis was so talented that he could channel that and from everything I've understood about him, he really got it. And think about the fact that he always had lots of black people in his band and recording situations. He always did and also he was born into poverty.
Elvis.. The King of Rock & Roll. MJ king of pop.
Thank you for helping keep Elvis's music alive!
I've said since 2020 that Elvis singing this song should be the world Anthem. Elvis was simply the best ever and he's describing our lives as we're living them today . Nobody will ever top Elvis. Thanks for posting. I agree with you 100%
hearing this song is possible to know why elvis é called king, the greatest, the goat 👑🔝🐐
Elvis Presley was known as the King of Rock n' Roll but he was an amazingly down to earth and generous person on all levels.
What a lot of people don't know, is the assination of Martin Luther King Jr. really affected Elvis. This song was recorded 6 months after the assassination.
Your reaction is right on! I'm glad to see people listen to Elvis that have never heard him and I'm glad to see how his music resonates. I'm 57 and a huge Elvis fan, and while I love all his songs, this one is my all time favorite. It's words were relevant then and relevant now!! The writer of the song wrote it specifically for Elvis to sing, it was in response to MLK and RFK both being assassinated. Elvis had tears in his eyes in that video. I barely remember being 3 years old when this was shown on tv on his '68 Comeback Special!! This song gets me in the feels every time!!
Elvis uses every facet of his god given vocal talent in this song.
He is the King of Rock
He is the king of rock....I saw Elvis twice, and he is even better in person. His voice just trembles inside of you. Listen to his song Glory glory hallelujah. It gives me goosebumps, his voice is one of a kind.
THE KING OF ROCK-N-ROLL
He put everything into this song. You should watch the very end of it where he's out of breath and says " Thank You, Goodnight". He needed Gatorade. This song should be played worldwide.
I remember watching this show when it aired I was 11 years old. This song was the show finale and was so powerful my mother was crying. I think I cried too not knowing why at the time but today I do. Knowing that this is in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. who had died just a few months before this show aired makes it even more meaningful.
He recorded this after Dr King died. He felt the need to express the feelings the Reverend imparted to his soul. Some of us Do Not see color, we hear God through their words and teachings of GOOD Men. 🙏😎
Elvis was the best friend i ever had in my entire life. we met when i was 17 yrs old. I won a radio show contest and the prize was a day with Elvis but our friendship lasted past that one day in time. All the memories of my friend are tucked safe in my heart forever. i saw him numerous times he was amazing he was not only my friend but a big brother as well. I never will get over his death it haunts me everyday seeing him in video's dancing and singing breaks my heart because i know he is not here anymore my mind understands but my heart never will, i saw him a few weeks before he passed he said kiddo everything will be okay i said E. nothing will ever be okay again, i was crying so hard he gave me a little kiss on the cheek and said i love ya kiddo always remember that okay i said love ya too E. that was the last time i saw my friend alive again. I walk past Graceland everyday without fail. Anyway i loved your reaction i hope you will watch more of his music videos love from Memphis Tn.
Wow...That's amazing! What a blessing to have Elvis as your dear best friend. He had a beautiful soul and he loved everyone. He was truly a gift from God. I am blessed to have seen him in concert in March, 1977 at the Alexandria Coliseum in Alexandria, La. when I was 17 year old. It was my first concert and the best concert I have ever seen in my lifetime. Although he was very ill (no one knew it at the time) he gave a performance that was mind blowing! A week later the news papers said that Elvis concert had to be canceled in Baton Rouge due to Elvis being very ill with malaria and exhaustion and had to be flown to the hospital in Memphis. That's when everyone realized how sick he must have been during the concert in Alex. Five months later it came across the radio stations that Elvis died. I will never forget where I was and how I felt when I heard the terrible news. There's only been a few times in my lifetime that I remember where I was and what I was doing when hearing devastating news like that. When man walked on the moon, 9-11 and Elvis' death. What a impact he made on so my lives. That you for sharing your story of Elvis and you. Another beautiful testament of his compassion and love of his friends and fans. God bless you....❤
" i know he is not here anymore " . . . dude, you got the ride of your life and you are whinging? wtaf? You were "best friends with ELVIS" and you're whining? HOLY COW! really?
And what a great friend I am sure he was!! Definitely one of a kind!! He had a heart of gold...something some of today's singers and entertainers don''t have!! He had humility and left us way too soon!! Rest in Peace, Elvis , you will never be forgotten!!!TCB #ELVISFOREVER
You lucky soul. May Elvis Rest In peace.
If I Can Dream is such an excellent song for someone new to Elvis to react to. It's from his 1968 Comeback Special and it was written in the wake of a very turbulent time in America following the assassination of Dr Martin Luther King Jr. The message is actually an echo of Dr King's famous dream voiced in Washington in 1963.
As you noted, Elvis sang this with so much conviction and passion. He admired Dr King (some Elvis fans tend to claim that they were friends but there's no substantiated proof of this) and was devastated
to hear of his murder.
Such a shame that a song with a message first heard in 1968 remains too relevant today.
By the way, if you delve deeper into Elvis, you're in for a treat. He sang just about every genre of music: from country to rock n roll, gospel, rhythm and blues and pop. Enjoy the ride!
This song ,needs, to be re realeased with this film of him singing hi heart out,, lets ,do it prisila 🕯💦
@@anndale6555 Priscilla has no control over it. It is all Lisa Marie Presley's
And RFK everyone seems to forget him but i never will.
should be a theme song for the turbulence of today
@@ronaldpoddig6188 Lisa Marie has died :(
This song pierces my heart. That performance was in 1968 and is speaking to us all in 2021. After this past summer and demonstrations against police brutality toward George Floyd, Brionna Taylor and all the others, one has to wonder how much longer his song will resonate . It is shameful that all these years later the dream has yet to appear.
I’m a 68 year-old white 🇨🇦 living in 🇺🇸. I don’t think we live in the same area, and unlikely to intersect. The reaction videos throw open the windows to everyone and allow us to know one another; your reactions and the song requests are an intersection where we can pause and say hello.
Elvis commanded the room ♥️🎶🎤
The King of Rock and Roll and he hated the title, he said there was only one true King!
RIP, Elvis, God bless you.
Elvis went to Hawaii in the 70 s and over 1 billion people listened to his concert on tv I don’t think there’s any entertainer that will ever be able to do that
Elvis was born in Tupelo Mississippi as a very poor child. He was a twin and his brother died at birth. As a child growing up he started in gospel music. He loved black gospel music. Elvis lived in Memphis. An awesome singer
The best in the world
We need Elvis right now...
Perfect performance aside, this is actually a very soul-affirming song.
King of Rock.
Please react to elvis America trilogy Aloha from Hawaii 1973.he was the first entertainer to beam his concert around the world live.1.5 billion people watched it.
Elvis donated the money to build the Pearl Harbor Memorial in Hawaii also
Elvis was the king of alsorts of music this song means more now then ever be for what amazing man he was beautiful in side and out RIP beautiful 💙
'In America it was all about Elvis' (--Robert Plant on music when he was growing up). Does not matter what type of music you like, Elvis was the king--stayed up all night singing gospel to the true King. God gave him some amazing pipes and a great voice, and the demon serum took him away too soon.
Elvis is the KING of all genres of music, before, after and forever.
Theres nobody to touch him and never will be.
LONG LIVE THE KING ❤
Nobody in the world like Elvis Presley his Fanbase today is a strong if not stronger than it was when I was growing up I am 75 I seen Elvis Presley three times in concert I seen a more times because when I go to Vegas the guy was going out with on the Caesars Palace message to Sugar Man Ray so I could see Elvis anytime I wanted over to the international outside of the concerts but I will tell you this everybody had respect for Elvis Presley everybody not just us playing there
Maybe this is the first time that you’re listening to him but if you ever watch is a 1973 a Hawaiian special 36 countries around the world over 1 billion people watched it there is you can’t name one another star into this day for 180,000 people a year go and visit Graceland his house you can name me one star that other people go and pay to go see is planes in his house and his way of living in and how generous he was in the gifts he gave away the Cadillacs the homes that he gave to perfect perfectMy name is Liz the queen in my real name is Liz stay safe and I hope to hear you again

New subscriber. Dedicated to Martin Luther king Jr. And his assassination.
"If I Can Dream" written specially to close the "Comeback Special for NBC" by Elvis Presley.
And RFK who had just been assassinated.
The Circus is waiting, and how many songs have you ever written zappa fan, hahahaha
The greatest vocalist of them all. Unmatched.
Elvis sings from the heart and from experience. .......subscribed ......whazzzzz up BizMatik
He loved all music, and all people...
4/4 1968 Assassination of Dr M.L.King jr. (Elvis cried like a baby)
6/6 1968 Assassination of Senator RFK (brother of President J.F.Kennedy)
In November 1968 this song was released (Elvis felt this song very, very deeply)
THX, great reaction. Elvis... A mans voice.. not the pip squeak stuff guys of today, lol..
I'm new to your channel and I go by Tisha. I've been an Elvis fan from a young age and have seen him in Concert twice. I can tell you his lyrics are very deep and meaningful and he was raised in poverty and his friends were black and I know his Gospel songs will pierce your Heart as he makes you feel every lyric and understand it as well.💖
King of rock and roll an yes Michael Jackson is the king of pop. Thank you for your reaction on Elvis!
Elvis was and always will be the King of Rock and Roll!
Elvis took the World to church with that iconic performance.
He was humble n kind.
Elvis never asked for anyone to call him the King of anything. Disc Jockeys and teenagers began calling him the King of Rock and Roll in 1957. In a press conference in 1969 someone referred to him as "the King of Rock" and he pointed to the back of the room where a great 50s entertainer, Fats Domino, was sitting and he said "Hey theres the real King of Rock"
He was the first international superstar.
Elvis was the largest selling artist of the 1950s, the 2nd largest selling artist of the 60s and even though he died in 1977-he was the 15th largest selling artist of the 1970s. He is in the top 3 physical album sellers of all time. (it was much harder to sell in those days-you had to leave your house, find a record store and buy your music-it was not a click away from your bedroom)
In the US alone his "certified" album sales are 146.5 million. This does not count a couple hundred albums that have not reached certified RIAA levels. This also does not count his single sales in the US. Until the late 1970s the purpose of recording was to sell single 45s rpm records-not albums.
Worldwide Elvis has sold over 1 billion units since 1954 including all forms of media.... 78rpms, 45 rpm singles, 45 rpm EPs, 33 1/3 albums, reel to reel tapes, 8 tracks, cassettes, and now CDs. He has more gold, platinum and multiplatinum records than any other artist.
Little Richard another Goat from the 50s called Elvis:
"A great integrator. He helped bring all of us black artists in the front door of white homes"
Elvis is the king of rock!!!
He’s the one & only., THE KING OF ROCK ROLL ... R.I.P. OUR KING 👑
Elvis can sing rock blues country and beautiful gospel. Could u react to how great thou art 1972 by elvis
Great version my mom loved it...played it at her service when she passes in 2016
he could sing the phone book and make it sound good.
The greatest of ALL time
Elvis King of Rock.
MJ King of Pop.
Even today many people do not know who Elvis was in music. It is the most versatile voice , it could interpret with elegance and style any musical genre and that is not available to everyone. Long live the king.
Elvis was, is and will always be the greatest 👑
the most fascinating and charismatic artist ever
"If i can dream" is one of the greatest songs. ❤🙏❤
Elvis is the king of rock
Elvis is the 👑Of 🎼... he sang R&B R&R COUNTRY .. GOSPEL n even hillbilly early on and all extremely well .. only artist in all four halls of fame.
One of the best songs EVER!! KING OF ROCK!!!!
Elvis, is the King. A simple way to describe his place in entertainment /music history.
"Where no one stands alone"
by Elvis and Lisa Presley
king of rock and roll Michael is king of pop
Elvis King of Rock and Roll and he never thought he was - Michael was the King of Pop
*Elvis is just THE KING* He recorded almost 700 songs and not many reactors are showing his *gospel* which he won his Grammy for.
He was singing this about what was going on at that time in our country. It was about MLK and let's make a dream come true.
Elvis the king Forever ❣️
without elvis, you would not have hip-hop, so called black music would still underground, elvis changed culture by blending white and black music for the world, paving the way for black music to be mainstream and creating a brand new era of music, so yeah, id say he is the king and everthing you listen to today can be traced back to his debut 3/23/56 or his early sun records from 1953
