You can't listen to this without watching Elvis deliver it. One of my earliest memories was seeing a beautiful man in a crisp suit singing his heart out. My word, nobody has ever come close. Nevermind the haters, they just need a reason to turn our heads from Elvis by telling us untraceable shit about him. Man was 🔥 on all counts. He stood with Black society and pulled Black artists UP the ladder more than anyone else at the time. Pls check out his back catalogue, old to newer and see what we lost when he died. He was such a natural talent and powerhouse of energy and angelic vocals. Beautiful man ❤
MLK was assassinated in Memphis, Elvis's home town.Elvis was devastated.Bobby Kennedy was assassinated while Elvis was making the comeback special, that's why he wanted to dedicate a song to their memory and to call for interracial peace.you need to watch this performance.
I am so happy to hear that' you are reacting to Elvis, and I am in Total agreement with all of us ELVIS fans, You have not seen anything in the world of Elvis, especially this particular song , I see you react to the music , but Only Elvis can make you feel the music flow through your soul and you can feel it in his video of this Song which I also say is The Greatest Song ever performed in History of Music . TCB 1935
this is unfortunate even if you didn't share the video on screen you definitely should've watched the performance and just blocked the screen for us you have to watch him perform it really encourage you to checkout the performance both mlk & kennedy had just been assassinated when elvis performed it regardless thank you for bringing elvis back on the ch :) (please watch his live performance in the white suit though)
Please, please, please keep the Elvis videos coming. You will fall in love with his passion, music and his huge generous heart! His sense of humor will grab you also! He stayed humble and never forgot where he came from! I invite you to climb into the rabbit hole of Elvis and I guarantee you will never leave! Thank you for starting the journey and I look forward to more Elvis from you. He’s all I watch!
Elvis had his own backup female singers the Sweet Inspirations and male singers The Stamp Quartet. He had others as well. He started with the Jordiniers in 1956. All the televised specials were fantastic. To get to know Elvis start with the 1956 TV performances. You will always see Elvis at his best. In his short 20 yr career he worked very hard and left us a Hugh legacy. Live performances include The 1968 comeback special, Aloha from Hawaii, That’s the way it is 1970, his last televised concert 1977 and documentaries that included Elvis and the Black community part 1 and 2. Also, his generosity and Kindness was well documented. You won’t run out of good material. You will see Elvis fans are very loyal and watching your reactions.
For sure this song is a heartfelt plea for the world. After the others dying he really put his all into the song. It's a song that has hope from the. Bible that. God promises when. He takes control of the earth and this wicked system and brings it back to the way. He intended a paradise we all long for. Elvis. So wonderful. So pleased you've enjoyed it as we have done. Always.
Love Elvis just subscribed please play the live versions they are fantastic Elvis’s charisma just flows through & he has great dance moves & he controls the band with his body drummer Ronnie Tutt used to say they couldn’t take their eyes off Elvis they never knew what he might do he was very spontaneous! His live Vegas & concerts actually are better then the recorded versions that’s how good he was live!
THIS IS the ONE SONG THAT is TALKING TO GENERATIONS of YOUNG PEOPLE . If I Can Dream. Imagine the 1960s, race riots. JFK Shot Dead. RFK Shot Dead. Malcolm X Shot Dead. Dr Martin Luther King shot dead. In particular, the MLK and RFK assassinations affected him beyond repair and push him into action. There were MANY ROADBLOCKS to get this song to the public square. Elvis was a HUGE proponent of the civil rights movement, ACTIVELY fighting for the rights of black musicians TO BE CREDITED AND PAID for their creations. AND, maybe even more importantly, if that's possible, went as far as INSISTING that black musicians WERE RESPECTED as he was AND would be let in the SAME ENTRANCES AND EXITS as he was and all the other white people. Elvis went a LONG WAY to putting the final nail in the coffin of segregation down south. That's BIG. NBC executives said NO. Elvis' manager Tom Parker said NO. Sponsors and advertisers over at NBC who were supporting this TV special said NO, and that they would sue Elvis if he sang it. NOONE wanted to touch the subject of racism and human unkindness, but Elvis. In the end, Elvis won and got his chance, so he placed the song AT THE END of his show, right where they wanted him to finish with a Christmas song. Elvis had already agreed to the Christmas song. He was a deeply religious man, and would spread the Word daily. Soon as Elvis heard this song he said he was placing it at the end, the grand finale. Everyone was pissed. Except for Elvis. He changed the world. When it mattered, when IT REALLY MATTERED, Elvis did big things to bring people together. Typically he did these things behind the scenes, he never asked for praise for any of his generous or social deeds, which were MANY. But THIS TIME... for the first time he wanted to lend his voice PUBLICLY. The nation was in mourning and fighting. Elvis saw a vision of peace and inclusion that very very few other people were seeing at the time (or even TODAY). We are in NEED of his voice and vision TODAY. Do yourself justice and play the video version. If I Can Dream. ua-cam.com/video/u-pP_dCenJA/v-deo.html
Elvis grew up in a black neighborhood in Tupelo, Mississippi, where churches were integrated but nothing else was except the neighborhood, and his family moved to Memphis when he was about 13 to live in the housing projects. Pretty much anything from the ‘68 Comeback Special is good. He won awards for his Gospel records.
(new sub) SOME BACKGROUND INFO: As per Steve Binder, the producer-director of the '68 special, Elvis, Binder & a group of others were together in the studio when they heard noise coming from the TV in the next room; it was the TV news broadcast that Robert Kennedy had just been assassinated. Binder, Elvis, et al sat up until about 4 a.m. talking about the turmoil in the world at that time w-Elvis expressing his thoughts & feelings. There had been a couple of other assassinations a few yrs. prior to King & Kennedy & the Vietnam war was raging. Binder asked Walter Earl Brown to compose a song based on those discussions & what Elvis had to say, & the song was composed post haste as the show’s taping was wrapping up. The song was not meant to be a literal dedication to any one person or persons but is notable for its similarities King’s wish for a world of peace and harmony due to what was going on in the world. The red tie was for the blood shed in Vietnam. It's always best to watch the many video interviews of Steve Binder to hear it straight from his mouth about why & how the special all came together. This is the full song w-no "ads" covering him up ua-cam.com/video/xA142IsjQiE/v-deo.html .
You can view the video but only broadcast the audio. That way you can see the emotion he put into his music and we, the fans, won,'t be made because we know the video by heart...
Taken from the MLK “Dream” speech at the Lincoln Memorial in DC in 1963. Civil Rights were finally happening for everyone including women by the early 70’s. MLK died for his beliefs as did Malcolm X, JFK, and RFK. Elvis sang this song, curled up in a fetal position and bawled his eyes out. All of the pain he had scene in his 33 years including the death of his mother while he was in the Army. 😢😢
Everyone has done the live version with no problems. Although I don't really know fully how UA-cam works. So I can't really say. But it's a bit mysterious. As some have to pause, Well most. Then others can watch the whole thing. And comment at the end. Some other guy or 2, listened to a WHOLE ELVIS ALBUM. Without pauses. strange!
Hi Alex Polk salad Annie Las Vegas live 1970 I promise you that you will enjoy buddy just one thing my friend I’m from Boston that Yankees hat lol lol lol lol is killing me just kidding buddy I love the way you pay attention to the song not just play it so enjoy Polk salad Annie can’t wait for your response when you play it Vinny from Boston !!!!!!! Keep up the good work on the king there will never ever be another in my lifetime or your lifetime !!!!!!!!!
Not sure if you know that there are 2 versions -- one where he recites the little poem before he sings & one where it is not included. Many people don't know that & when they recommend the song it doesn't include the poem, which makes a big difference. Thanks.
I agree with the previous comments, to watch Elvis sing this song is a completely different experience. He pours his soul into this performance. For me, Elvis’s greatest asset, apart from his voice, is his capacity to make me feel the lyrics. I’ve subscribed hoping to follow your Elvis journey.

If you had watched the actual performance, you would have seen the incredible passion & energy Elvis put into the singing of this song. You really should have tried that, as I have seen heaps of reactors successfully posting it up.
With Elvis if there's a live version *always* go for the live version. Put a filter or logo over it. Whatever you have to do. This one was written for him using some of Elvis' thoughts about what was going on. JFK, MLK and RFK all assassinated in less than 10 years. 2 of them within months of each other just before this song was written. War in Vietnam, race relations, Civil Rights abd civil unrest. This is Elvis' hope for humanity...it still applies today.
Elvis was born on January 8, 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi, in a 2 room shack of a house his dad built with money he borrowed from his boss. That's how dirt poor they were. He was one half of identical twins; the other boy - Jesse Garon - was stillborn. They were so poor, that Jesse Garon was buried in a shoebox in an unmarked grave. At Graceland they have a plaque with his name on it in his memory. Elvis always got along with the black community and learned a lot about music from his friends of color. Also, according to the one drop rule, Elvis would not be considered white, since he has Cherokee ancestors on both the Smith (his mother) and the Presley (his father) sides of the family. His paternal grandfather, Jesse Dunning Presley, was not happy that his two sons, Elvis' father Vernon and his brother Vester, married two sisters, Gladys and Clettes who were known to have Cherokee blood in their family tree. J.D. Presley was quite the racist a-hole, often drunk and a philandering husband to Minnie Mae (they were actually separated long before they finally divorced in 1954) who was always competing with his sons Vester and Vernon and who was known to abuse his kids when drunk. J.D. was publicly against race mixing and was in denial about the Cherokee blood in his own family tree. It was more publicly known that the Smith family had Native blood in their family tree, so when both his sons fell for 2 Smith sisters and Vernon, on top of that, was still a minor at 17 when he eloped with Gladys who was 4 years older than him, Jesse was totally pissed off. As a child, Elvis already had many friends in the black community at the time his family was one of 4 "white" families that lived in the predominantly black neighborhood The Hill, just across from Shake Rag. His childhood friend Sam Bell said that some of the (black) kids in that neighborhood had lighter skin than Elvis. One of Elvis' bodyguards once said that he thought it was a miracle Elvis got into Humes High School in Memphis, because it was "lily white". Elvis wanted to be more open about his Native ancestry, but his manager "colonel" Tom Parker (real name Andreas van Kuijk) was against it because he was afraid it might cost Elvis fans (and himself money). They did have Elvis play characters in his movies though where he had Native American blood (Flaming Star, G.I. Blues, Stay Away Joe). Once Elvis had his own (apprentice) job learning to be an electrician, he saved up his money and bought his clothes in the same style that many of his friends of color wore. He was called a (forgive me, just stating facts here) "n-lover" and got beaten up several times too. Later, when he was an established star, he would not perform at places where the members of color of his back-up band/orchestra weren't allowed.
Just to clarify -- she was w-Elvis for just 5 weeks in 1969 from July 31st-Aug. 28th. She then left to be at home w-her children & later on forged her own career.
@@StevenTaylor-xf4ij Understand something: most consensus is that people believe she was w-Elvis for yrs., & normally when someone says ".....was one of his backup singers in the group the Sweet inspirations" in the broad sense as you put it, it makes it sound like she was w-him for yrs., so pls don't get all bent out of shape -- there's enough misinformation swirling around & I'm sure we'd all like to get as much correct information as possible. My goal? To continue dancing.
Las Vegas , ( BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER ) THE ONE WITH THE MOST HITS, ON UA-cam IN VEGAS ,( IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES ,) SUSPICIOUS MINDS ) (DANNY ) YOU REALLY WANT TO COVER ELVIS HISTORY , SIT DOWN BUCKLE UP , AND GET READY FOR MANY GREAT REQUESTS , HE COVERED 1 GOSPEL 2 R&B 3 COUNTRY 4 HILLBILLY , 5 ROCK& ROLL , he's the only one who is in 5 different music hall of fame,, KNOW Else Has BY Maybe 2 ,,, But That's It ,
He’s emotional, live performance during the race issues in 1968, was so courageous & beautiful. WAIT, you’re not watching his live performance in the white suit. Dude, you messed up.
ua-cam.com/video/xA142IsjQiE/v-deo.htmlsi=jdYTixmzNbGaaPzv So here's the link to the version everyone is talking about. The vocals in this version are stronger and you can actually see him. If you're unsure of posting it, watch it on your own time and let us know what you think.
The live version shows the passion Elvis puts into this tune.
Check the live version... It's 1000x better
Definitely better
You can't listen to this without watching Elvis deliver it. One of my earliest memories was seeing a beautiful man in a crisp suit singing his heart out.
My word, nobody has ever come close. Nevermind the haters, they just need a reason to turn our heads from Elvis by telling us untraceable shit about him. Man was 🔥 on all counts. He stood with Black society and pulled Black artists UP the ladder more than anyone else at the time.
Pls check out his back catalogue, old to newer and see what we lost when he died. He was such a natural talent and powerhouse of energy and angelic vocals.
Beautiful man ❤
Most iconic moment in music history
The king
Many could probably write the music but only Elvis could really tell the story! Forever the King 👑 ⚡️
My man Elvis . He had it all.❤ Elvis. The song has a lot of meaning.
MLK was assassinated in Memphis, Elvis's home town.Elvis was devastated.Bobby Kennedy was assassinated while Elvis was making the comeback special, that's why he wanted to dedicate a song to their memory and to call for interracial peace.you need to watch this performance.
The Greatest of all Time!
Suspicious Minds 1970 live version, one of his best. Shows not just his musical ability but his personality
Elvis risked a lot by recording "If I Can Dream".
This is not just a song, it`s a prayer.
Just about all Elvis …..should be live! He is that good…👑⚡️
THAT song.. needs VOLUME-and yes, you need to watch the performance, it's a HUGE part of the song.
Gotta check out the live version for us next man. ❤

He recorded this live for the album. He did 2 takes because he felt the first didn’t have the emotion he wanted. He’s amazing
EVERYONE WANTS TO GET THAT AWESOME EXPERIENCE OF HIM DOING IT LIVE... OK🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
Perfection. One of his best. ❤
Please, please, please keep the Elvis videos coming. You will fall in love with his passion, music and his huge generous heart! His sense of humor will grab you also!

You can tell what influenced him, his early stuff was copies of old blues and gospel, and he totally kept going as he got older.

The background ladies are The Sweet Inspirations. Originally with ARETHA...."RE-RE-RE-RE"
I think this was before the Sweets, he had the Blossoms singing with him during the 68 Special.
The backup girls were The Blossoms, 3 girls, one of whom was the famous Darlene Love.

This one was written for him using some of Elvis' thoughts about what was going on. JFK, MLK and RFK all assassinated in less than 10 years. 2 of them within months of each other just before this song was written. War in Vietnam, race relations, Civil Rights abd civil unrest. This is Elvis' hope for humanity...it still applies today.
Must see the video.....Turn it up just a hair...
Elvis was born on January 8, 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi, in a 2 room shack of a house his dad built with money he borrowed from his boss. That's how dirt poor they were. He was one half of identical twins; the other boy - Jesse Garon - was stillborn. They were so poor, that Jesse Garon was buried in a shoebox in an unmarked grave. At Graceland they have a plaque with his name on it in his memory.
Elvis always got along with the black community and learned a lot about music from his friends of color. Also, according to the one drop rule, Elvis would not be considered white, since he has Cherokee ancestors on both the Smith (his mother) and the Presley (his father) sides of the family.

Whitney Houston's mother was one of his backup singers in the group the Sweet inspirations.
Just to clarify -- she was w-Elvis for just 5 weeks in 1969 from July 31st-Aug. 28th. She then left to be at home w-her children & later on forged her own career.
@@carolhayar3037 I never said she made a career of it. I said she was "a back up singer". What's your goal?
@@StevenTaylor-xf4ij Understand something: most consensus is that people believe she was w-Elvis for yrs., & normally when someone says ".....was one of his backup singers in the group the Sweet inspirations" in the broad sense as you put it, it makes it sound like she was w-him for yrs., so pls don't get all bent out of shape -- there's enough misinformation swirling around & I'm sure we'd all like to get as much correct information as possible. My goal? To continue dancing.

He’s emotional, live performance during the race issues in 1968, was so courageous & beautiful. WAIT, you’re not watching his live performance in the white suit. Dude, you messed up.
More volume
Listen to An American Trilogy.
