This is what happens when a legend rolls out of bed in the morning to put his A game clothes on and delivers a moment that outlives generations upon generations.
Well put, well put. Elvis was some of Gods best work - and lets not forget he was a top notch gospel singer, I think thats where a lot of this soul and feeling comes from in many of his songs
The culmination of an entire CHILDHOOD and TEEN YEARS going to church in the poorest black and white ghettos in the South during the Great Depression and Segregation ... without a pot to pee in. Brother buried in a shoe box they was so poor. I think when you have all of God's gifts of singing abilities and all that real-life experience....born in that historic time period... with a brave yearning for the harmony of people, you get something like this to occur, once in a millennium. I've never heard a greater social justice song than this. This is sung with superhuman conviction.
This is another song Elvis sang because he cared so much about what was happening in this country. He loved this country and his fellow can no matter the color of their skin. The man didn't get as much credit as he should for everything he did for others.
You have to put this in the context of the time. 1968 was probably the most turbulent year of the 20th century. MLK and RFK were killed and the Vietnam War was raging, splitting the country in two with demonstrations and daily TV reporting, including Walter Cronkite's famous reporting in February. Now the special was taped in June of 1968, not long after RFK was struck down, and was scheduled for a December airing (it aired December 2nd, my mother clearly remembers it. She loved Elvis then and loves Elvis now). Elvis' manager, Colonel Tom Parker wanted to end the special with "I'll Be Home For Christmas." W. Earl Brown and Billy Goldenberg wrote this song with Elvis in mind. After hearing the demo, Elvis said "I'll never sing another song I don't believe in. I'll never make another movie I don't believe in." Parker was not pleased with the song, which does echo King's "I Have A Dream" speech, but Elvis pleaded with Parker to give it a shot and the rest is history.
Elvis skin colour was not sunbed made!! He was of cherokee indian heritage, just thought id say to the haters of this beautiful man, his s was natural, thanks Ray, Mikey
This song along with “In The Ghetto” and so many others let’s you know just how powerful his music is , and shows you this man was truly a gift from God. Enjoy him and his music and welcome to the world of ElvisPresley !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hum, elvis is the best selling male solo artist of all time, EVER in history and he died in 1977. He is one of the most beloved, loved entertainers in history, STILL. So, not sure where your comments about people disliking him come from...don't not too many people who disliked Elvis....in fact. the most famous artist, actors, celebrities....etc, if asked who they wanted to met, it was "elvis" and were literally taken aback by his unbelievable good looks. He seemed to be a very generous, giving man, growing up so poor as he did.
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!!! 💗💚💜 RIP **Martin Luther King** RIP **Robert Kennedy** RIP **Elvis Presley** 💗💚💜 3 amazing men, who tried to change to world for the better, & paid the ultimate price 😔 *GREAT REACTION*
You know what's crazy...Elvis and all the greats in any category ever, not a single one of them even knew that they would be on a thing called the internet where generations after generations will watch them and be inspired, they still influence people through their music, and years yet to come, it's a miracle in itself.
1st time commenting on your channel. I love your reaction! I'm 55 and have loved Elvis all my Life. It is such a thrill to see people now connecting to his music in a whole new way. There are a few really great youtube DOCS on Elvis's early life and career. His gospel origins are massively important to him. Congrats on your journey to discover ELVIS!
I love Elvis fans. People who get it. Who look beyond the caricature that has spewed a thick fog over Elvis' true brilliance. I'm so grateful I finally looked beyond that fog.
I’m a Chicano dude from Southern California. I grew up on Elvis. Elvis was universal. My dear mother who has passed on was an Elvis fan. Elvis is deep in my heart, as he is with many folk, all across the globe. You should check out Elvis’ gospel albums; real good stuff, you won’t be disappointed. Elvis had a deep soul.❤🕺
The reason he knows so much about black music he was raised listening to it , when he was born he was really poor his best friend was a black boy, and his first taste of music was going with him to listen to Jazz and Soul music at the nearest black Club, so I hate it when people say he was racist they did not know this man
It's genuinely heartbreaking how much hate this great man gets and the worst part is he gets it from both sides, from good people and evil individuals. The world needs artists and music like this today desperately.
@@laurawilloughby4000 sadly it's because of false articles in newspapers back in the day saying that Elvis said some racist comments but it was completely false, they were just framing his name and sadly for some it succeeded.
A lot of it's because he groomed (and later married, once she was of age) a 14 year old, the prescription addiction and there were a lot of stories, articles, videos about how much he didn't like the black community and stole their music, etc. The first 2 don't have anything to do with his music though but most of the people I know that dislike him, is because of point one.
@@laurawilloughby4000 Who gives a shit what they think. Most who dislike Elvis dislike him for reasons that arent real. Let them swim in their ignorance.
@@valeriea475 Groomed? Again. are you going to be one of those people that relies on misinformation? Elvis met Priscilla in 1958 when she was 14 in Germany. They were never alone and basically met at parties......He left Germany and she didnt see him again until she was way past 17 (age of consent in Tennessee was 16 at the time). She indicated in her book they never had sex until their wedding night when she was 21 and she also indicated that it was she that wanted to come and live with Elvis.......Where does the groomed part fit in?.
I went to Graceland in 2018. My girl is a huge fan of Elvis and we stood next to that white suit. It was the 50th anniversary of the special. Elvis cared for everyone. He was devastated when MLK got murdered. They didn't want him end the show with this song, but he refused to change his mind.
This man melts your heart....I grew up with listening to him and till to this day it's always like hearing him for the first time...He brings tears to my eyes each time .He was always a great person...Body n soul... Amazing
Right before Elvis was set to do this Christmas Special in 68 he started to back out he was afraid he couldn't do it but he got himself together and put on an entire special that is legendary.
Epic, legendary performance. Elvis truly was and will always be The King. I have loved him since truly before I can remember. At 53, his pure talented, beauty from the inside out can still bring me to tears. He touches your soul like no one else can. A remarkable man that no other artist can ever touch. I wish Lisa Marie and Michael Jackson would have had a child together. Can you imagine the looks, talent, voice and dance skills that kid would have had?! Mind blowing to think about.
That was a great reaction. Your comments are so awesome. I can tell you understand music you point out everything he does in his performance is on stage.BTW: if Elvis would’ve had you as his promoter and manager, he would have slide just like he sang the song in reference to Martin Luther King!!!👍👍👍👍👍🔥👑🙏🇺🇸⚡️🎸🎹🎶🎤
I read that Elvis 😇 watched and listened 👂 to people 🤩 such as his relative playing the guitar 🎸 and that is how Elvis learned how to play the guitar 🎸 ELVIS 😍 was A CHILD 🚸 PRODIGY. Elvis great grandma 💕💟 was Cherokee American Indian 🌈 Elvis grandfather Jesse was a professional singer. Elvis dad name Vernon and Elvis mother name Gladys were also gifted singers. Elvis grew up dirt poor. Elvis basically learned to play the bass 🎸 guitar 🎸 accordion 🪗 ukelele piano 🎹 and ukelele on his own. He co-wrote some songs with Red West ⬅️ and Charlie Hodge 🤩 Elvis was a very talented and natural but underappreciated actor 🌈 dancer 🩰 choreographer 🩰 and music 🎶🎼 composer/arranger/producer. ELVIS 😇❤️ was A GIVER TOWARDS SO MANY PEOPLE 😈🤩 OF VARIOUS ETHNICITY 🤩 AND TOWARDS A LOT OF CHARITIES 🤑 ELVIS 😍 GAVE MOST OF HIS FORTUNE. 🔮🤑 AWAY ☺️ WHEN HE WAS ALIVE.
Rev. Martin Luther King had just been killed and the writer of the song met with Elvis - asked what he was feeling, etc., went home and wrote the song and presented it to Elvis the next. After Elvis did the above performance, the camera doesn't show but he went to his knees with TEARS IN HIS EYES. The Colonel wanted him to do a Christmas Carol instead. THANK GOD ELVIS WENT HIS INSTINCT. eLVIS WAS SO UPSET BECAUSE REV. KING WAS MURDERED IN MEMPHIS, ELVIS' HOME TOWN.
''Writers Write The Script ELVIS PRESLEY Performs The Story''.''ELVIS PRESLEY IS KING''. ''THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE WORLD CROWNED KING''. KING OF MUSIC. GLADIATOR AND KING OF STAGE AND ENTERTAINMENT. GREATEST OF ALL TIME PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE. KING ELVIS AARON PRESLEY. ''For Every He Will Reign'' ""TCB"" UNTIL THE END OF TIME.
They are called haters.this man was great & had hurt no one while he was on this earth....but as soon as he.died ...the he's a come out. He's a hater , he's racist , & the he's a s never end.
AND ROBERT KENNEDY -- “The song was not only inspired by MLK but by Robert Kennedy's assassination also -- it was after Kennedy's assassination that Elvis & producer/director Steve Binder had a long sit-down discussion, & Binder asked songwriter Walter Earl Brown to compose a song to reflect what had taken place (based on MLK's speech). Parker wanted a Christmas song (of course) but after Elvis looked at the song sheet he told Parker i want to give it a shot.”
Elvis was born and raised in poverty, he never ever forgot where he came from his dad even went to prison when he was little due to Vernon altering a check because they were so incredibly poor 😢people really should watch the video called Elvis and the black community ❤❤ so they can understand him better 😮
With this song and this performance, he created a monument and a milestone not only for himself but for all other performers forever. The measure of all things. No one will ever be better. He was, is and will always remain the GOAT.
Oh, I almost fell off my chair I was laughing so hard how you were saying I’m screaming like one of those girls. It was coming out of my soul. His greatest gift he left us was how emotive he was & how he passionately sang. He grabs on to your soul and doesn’t let go until he gets you to feel what he’s feeling. I watched him my first time singing Bridge Over Troubled Water live 1970 & when he was done, the tears were rolling down my cheeks & I thought why am I crying? I wasn’t even aware I was crying. That’s how he affects you. Another great song by him he sings live is called In the Ghetto. It could have been written today. He even mentioned Chicago ghetto. 53 yrs ago he sang it & not much has changed. It’s amazing. He’s sung over 800 songs, so you’ll have plenty of choices. Some are so powerful. I’m not sure who you were talking to initially but if they question Elvis, there’s a documentary on U tube that many have reacted to called Elvis and the Black Community part one which clears up a lot. Also this yrs movie is great in teaching a whole new generation just what he was about. It’s on streaming now. Apple is the best because they have extras. But Prime Video & even U tube one can rent or buy. It’s also on DVD too. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. God bless.
I love this tribute to MLK! ❤ This was supposed to be a Christmas special .....Elvis ended the show with this song! He said it would be more impactful that way....he was right. They didnt want him to sing this due to racial tensions at the time. Check out "Elvis and the Black Community" documentary here on YT....it will give you some insight into who Elvis was. 😁 He put his heart & soul into this song!
Elvis got a lot of flack for insisting this be the final song of the show. His manager and others wanted him to do a Christmas song for a finale. But he stuck to his guns and sang If I Can Dream. There are few who are near Elvis's stature, charisma, and God-given talent. None of them are alive today. We all think of Micheal Jackson, Freddie Mercury and maybe a handful of others, but who can you name today that has the same impact across all cultures? I just discovered your channel today, so this is my first time reacting to you reacting to Elvis! haha! New sub from AB Canada.
We all bleed red ♥️ I wish every US City would play this song super loud so all Americans can hear it. Imagine the love we would have for one another. We need to stand shoulder to shoulder hand in hand and stop all this hate and violence. This Government is doing nothing but dividing us. FACT We need to stand together hand in hand Much love from Iowa.
Elvis has more plantium double plantium and gold albums more then Michael Jackson and Beatles put together Elvis has over a 1 billion albums sold world wide and over 1 billion people listened to him in concert on tv in Hawaii in 70 s I don’t think there’s any singer in history that can get that much people to listen to them ever elvis can sing blues gospel country rock pop blue grass soul etc t to me he s the greatest singer the world will ever no
When I see people do reactions and get so touched by the artist that what it’s all about!!!! I grew up listening to my parents records and watched Via Hawaii live as a child and I absolutely love Elvis’s music!!! Thank you for adding him to your list you won’t regret it!!!

That comment is absolutely spot on.
Well put, well put. Elvis was some of Gods best work - and lets not forget he was a top notch gospel singer, I think thats where a lot of this soul and feeling comes from in many of his songs
Exactly, it's like....either we control our mind or we let something else control it, and remember to choose what you go after, very wisely....
@@yambo59 He went to a black Pentecostal church. Where he got his soul filled with music 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻And his love for God 👍🏻💛🙏
He is the King for a reason and this is one example why he is
Elvis is a legend he is the best

Sung for MLK, the great man was just assassinated, Elvis took ONE TAKE for this insanely brilliant performance.
The best there was. Is. Or ever will be. Nobody could match Elvis Presley. Nobody. Canada
The King
Undoubtedly never matched, never will be.
And that folks is the reason Elvis will forever live on..Nobody will ever come close💥💥
Amen.
This is another song Elvis sang because he cared so much about what was happening in this country. He loved this country and his fellow can no matter the color of their skin. The man didn't get as much credit as he should for everything he did for others.
This was his public statement to what was going on at that time. This song should be heard today and taken to heart

He sure looks like a beautiful God standing there
He would feel scandalised by such blasphemy. When called "The King" he'd reply, "There's only one King - Jesus Christ, I'm just a singer".
The best we will ever see the man had so much talent, just perfect
He is the Man 👍🏻🎶🎶🎶🎸
A true Song Angel ..from Most High❤🎧🎵🎸🎹📺
I love watching your reaction to Elvis
Elvis skin colour was not sunbed made!! He was of cherokee indian heritage, just thought id say to the haters of this beautiful man, his s was natural, thanks Ray, Mikey
His great great grandmother was cherokee. He was tanned, but he tanned nicely
This song along with “In The Ghetto” and so many others let’s you know just how powerful his music is , and shows you this man was truly a gift from God. Enjoy him and his music and welcome to the world of ElvisPresley !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where are the singers today that sing with that power, emotion and conviction. I know of none.

The red tie represented blood shed for freedom!!!
Elvis BEGGING folks to stop hating!❤

Many times Elvis said he was not the king That Jesus was the king.
Take me to church Elvis.

HAPPENS TO BE ALL THAT HE DID, MADE HIM KING! ANYMORE QUESTION'S??

When people listen and engage with the music of Elvis, they all understand the legacy.
I love Elvis fans. People who get it. Who look beyond the caricature that has spewed a thick fog over Elvis' true brilliance. I'm so grateful I finally looked beyond that fog.
Never seen a more beautiful man in a prettier suit❤
He is The King 👑👑
I'm writing this in 2023. 55 as in fiftyfuckingfive years after this powerful song. And we still haven't learnt... not a thing... in 55 effin years.
Elvis sings, Martin luther king speaks. Now we are taking double power and unity, with you 1000%⚡

Your reaction said it all .
This was by far his most passionate performance he ever made he put his heart and soul into this it was more than just a song for him...
💯 agreed
When Elvis sang this song he sang it as a message,he took it hard when MLK and Kennedy died.Elvis loved everyone
I had that exact album with the background being the cover picture when I was a little girl ❤❤
Elvis is the best ever…that VOICE, the passion & the man is gorgeous 🔥

The suit.
The bling.
The hair.
Looks.

Passion.
Stage presence.
I mean, how can you top this?

The way Elvis is swinging that arm put me in mind of videos of old Southern Black preachers. ❤
I love this tribute to MLK! ❤ This was supposed to be a Christmas special .....Elvis ended the show with this song! He said it would be more impactful that way....he was right. They didnt want him to sing this due to racial tensions at the time. Check out "Elvis and the Black Community" documentary here on YT....it will give you some insight into who Elvis was. 😁 He put his heart & soul into this song!
Elvis got a lot of flack for insisting this be the final song of the show. His manager and others wanted him to do a Christmas song for a finale. But he stuck to his guns and sang If I Can Dream. There are few who are near Elvis's stature, charisma, and God-given talent. None of them are alive today. We all think of Micheal Jackson, Freddie Mercury and maybe a handful of others, but who can you name today that has the same impact across all cultures? I just discovered your channel today, so this is my first time reacting to you reacting to Elvis! haha! New sub from AB Canada.
We all bleed red ♥️
I wish every US City would play this song super loud so all Americans can hear it.
Imagine the love we would have for one another.
We need to stand shoulder to shoulder hand in hand and stop all this hate and violence.
This Government is doing nothing but dividing us.
FACT
We need to stand together hand in hand
Much love from Iowa.
He’s really the King of Rock and Roll. Beautiful voice. Beautiful face. Beautiful heart. Beautiful soul.
Like he said that’s why he is the king
Absolutely amazing...goosebumps...
We need Elvis's dream to come true right now!!!!!! Hater's get over your-selves!!!! It can be a better world!!!!!!!
Elvis has more plantium double plantium and gold albums more then Michael Jackson and Beatles put together Elvis has over a 1 billion albums sold world wide and over 1 billion people listened to him in concert on tv in Hawaii in 70 s I don’t think there’s any singer in history that can get that much people to listen to them ever elvis can sing blues gospel country rock pop blue grass soul etc t to me he s the greatest singer the world will ever no
When I see people do reactions and get so touched by the artist that what it’s all about!!!! I grew up listening to my parents records and watched Via Hawaii live as a child and I absolutely love Elvis’s music!!! Thank you for adding him to your list you won’t regret it!!!
