His most passionate performance of his life and career. He poured everything he had in his heart and soul into that masterpiece.
Incredible performance! I remember watching it as a kid when it aired in 1968. Elvis sang it from his heart with Real emotion! Reached #2 on the music charts here in Canada in 1968. ♥️🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦🇨🇦
Elvis has so much church so much soul he started off as a gospel slinger he’s amazing entertainer performer singer his presence is phenomenal I’m not gonna lie he’s my idol he’s one of a kind thank you for letting the younger generation know where their music came from God bless you
Never has there been such an amazing voice, talent, charisma, looks and heart in one human being.
No one can imitate Elvis's voice, never, no one can put true feeling into it like Elvis did. Anyway girl, very good reaction
🙏
Elvis was a humble and faithful Christian,he truly was a gift from god ❤️🙏
❤️🕊😕 Perfection from one soul to any soul who hears xx
This performance blows me away every single time. Just like you, I just feel it so deeply in my heart. I even got goosebumps at one point during the reaction and I know I must have seen this easily 50 times in my life if not more.
The king of rock n roll and everything else.
As the former Mrs Presley, in another lifetime, you NEED to check out the 1968 comeback special where Elvis is dressed head to toe in black leather!! 😎
I tear up every time I hear this song, especially these days. Rest in paradise Elvis and Belvis ⚘🌹
When she sees him in that black leather suit..singin.. Tryin to Get To You..she's gonna lose it completely cuz that song is for her.
He seriously is the most handsome man i ever seen..during that black leather suit time.
@@Shaggy357 Hopefully she will react to it, so we can all watch her lose her mind 😎 Elvis at his best 🎶🎵
@@Shaggy357 I thought the same thing! Not sure she's doing Elvis anymore. 😢
What BLUE SKY said.
The message is so apt for today.
☮️ And 💗 from the 🇬🇧.
The year is 1968. MLK and
Bobby Kennedy are both assassinated. MLK was assassinated in Elvis's city of Memphis. This is a dedication.
I Have a Dream
❤️😥
"If I Can Dream" is a song made famous by Elvis Presley, written by Walter Earl Brown and notable for its direct quotations of Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1963 "I Have a Dream" speech. The song was published by Elvis Presley's music publishing company Gladys Music, Inc. It was recorded by Presley in June 1968, just two months after King's assassination. The recording was first released to the public as the finale of Presley's '68 Comeback Special.
Brown was asked to write a song to replace "I'll Be Home for Christmas" as the grand finale on NBC's "Elvis", from June 20-23, 1968 (now also known as ‘68 Comeback Special). Knowing about Presley’s fondness for Martin Luther King Jr., and about his devastation related to his then-recent assassination, he wrote "If I Can Dream" with Presley in mind. After Presley heard the demo, he proclaimed "I'm never going to sing another song I don't believe in. I'm never going to make another movie I don't believe in." And he, in his nine years remaining, kept his promise.
The song was published by Presley's company Gladys Music, Inc.
After Colonel Tom Parker heard the demo of the song sent by Earl Brown, he said: "This ain't Elvis' kind of song." Elvis was also there, and he countered Parker’s argument, then he pleaded: "Let me give it a shot, man." Earl Brown said while Elvis recorded the song, he saw tears rolling down the cheeks of the backing vocalists. One of them whispered to him: "Elvis never sung with so much emotion. Looks like he means every word."
And Bobby Kennedy assassination too
Elvis wasn't fond of MLK . Elvis was not involved or interested in social / political causes.
. And this song was not written as a tribute to Marty? You're an ass.
@@shanenolan8252Robert Kennedy's assassination also impacted Elvis' decision to do this type of song instead of "I'll Be Home For Christmas" to end his comeback special, but the main inspiration for the lyrics came from Martin L. King Jr.'s "I Have A Dream" speech. I just took the information that was on Wikipedia for this song , and put it on here This article backs up both what you and I are saying...

@@panteraxenos4789 You are wrong, Elvis was very interested in what was happening in America, but he chose to keep his views private most of the time. He did however donate money to causes he believed in and sometimes he did songs that echoed how he felt like "In The Ghetto" and "If I Can Dream, which is definitely dedicated to both MLK and Bobby Kennedy's assassinations. ua-cam.com/video/0yN9JREW6Hc/v-deo.html
@@panteraxenos4789 Marty ? Seriously you a close friend ? Martin MLK or doctor king is how somone not an ass refers to him , elvis didn't write the song but the man who did said that it was inspired by both assassinations of mlk and RFK that summer, and he was a civil rights leader not a social justice activist, they are different things , and you don't know what he thought about him , but even if he had criticism , so what nobody's perfect, elvis or mlk, doesn't mean he was happy he was murdered does it . and mlk was no saint was he ? Beware of calling others and ass and being factually inaccurate it makes you look like an ass . ( you may no be aware of mlk legitimate criticism and hateful invalid criticism) people fairly criticized Gandhi as well ( Indians)
So glad you were able to feel this song and express it so well.❤️❤️
You’re an awesome reactor. You’re a natural and I love watching you vibe to artists. They say the older artists knew their craft but EP had everything - he had just had it in spades. Loved it
In Spades ?!? I like that. Never heard that saying before. Thank you!
Powerful song Elvis sings it with so much passion
Love your reaction madam! You are so sincere and true. ❤
He could break through to just about every human being and that's what made him truly different. He could make you rethink and reshape your basic beliefs and prejudices. That's incredible power and he comes off as real and honest and he really was that G. If he were alive today it would be a much better world, but if he wasn't born, I trust that we would be living in a much harsher world. All we can do is react to what we have and carry the torch of peace and love as the legendary Memphis cat is talking about here. Let's get to that candle together!
Elvis' manager told him not to perform this song because it's too controversial. Elvis told him the only way he won't perform it is over his dead body. LONG LIVE THE KING.
He did the right thing. Way to stand out !!!!
Elvis was devasted when he heard mlk died in his hometown of tupelo ms that he wanted to end the 68 come back special with a dedication to mlk and jfk his Manger didn't want him to sing this song he felt it was too controversial he wanted elvis to end the show with a Christmas song but elvis didn't listen he was going to sing this song no matter what and I'm glad he did eveytime I hear this song from elvis I get goosebumps he puts so much emotion in this song ..he put his whole heart and soul in it...
If women like you would not notice him, then that leaves him just for me and the billions who have noticed him.Welcome to the billions of admirers.
You need to see him Vegas in 1970 you can see his beautiful blue eyes his smile sense of humor he will hypnotize you
Try some of his gospel songs, and you must try the songs from his Aloha Hawaii worldwide satellite concert in 1973 - a great song along with the others is "American Trilogy" its three songs in one that is an absolute masterpiece - other great songs from that same Aloha Hawaii concert are "My Way", "You Gave Me A Mountain" and "Steamroller Blues" is a really fun song especially for the women-lol

Love your reactions and your southern drawl. What state are you from?
Thank you! I’m in Arkansas.
Salute Belvis
ACE YOUNG LADY
Thank you ☺️
In the Ghetto live and Bridge Over Troubled Water are wonderful songs. He’s a very emotive singer & his Gospel music will bring one to tears. This song was done for MLK & Bobby Kennedy’s assassinations in 1968. He didn’t like spouting his political views but could sing his emotions & so it was written for him to express how upset he was.
Lovley reaction Emily, I would love you to react to Elvis "Oeace in the Valley", many have done this great spiritual song but nobody and I mean nobody does it better than the King.
He was a weird man n loved to say he was THE BEST FRIEND OF ELVIS LOL This was written for MLK after his assassination. Look this up Elvis became very emotional when he sang this n after he finished singing he went back stage n cried.
Good reaction.....you are now understanding real music that has REAL passion and emotion. The expression...."that guy was singing his heart out" comes to mind with this song Elvis sang.
There is an American Idol version of this with Celine Dion and Elvis singing together
Belvis didn't recognize you??? after all you were married to The King back then. Look how good Elvis looks in this video...THE KING ..
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🇫🇮
Best reacter on YT.
Who MEEEEEE ?!?!? Awww. Thank you!!
@@emilyfeechi Ur very welcome😁 I think ur reactions are the most honest and sincere, and fun😀
If you haven't done "In the Ghetto" yet...you need to do that asap
Hey! You better stay away from Elvis. He was mine first....lol.
I discounted a guy I dated who said he worked as one of Elvis' bodyguards. I thought he was lying. We didn't last more than 5 dates anyway. About a month after we stopped seeing each other there was an Elvis special on. Imagine my shock when I saw this guy in the old videos and pics with Elvis. After that and finding out that my mom and her siblings were friends with Linda Ronstadt's family nothing surprises me anymore....lol.
Too bad he was so ugly with no charisma and a terrible voice ! KIDDING 😅
He was a Magnetic personality , that's why he's the KING
I almost went nuts reading this 🤣🤣
@@emilyfeechi Love Elvis da Pelvis
Just for the record. Elvis may not be dead. There have been numerous sightings. Just last month, someone who looked like Elvis was seen in a Walmart in Mountain View, Arkansas.
I’m in Little Rock. That’s wild, but I been hearing Tupac alive and moved to Cuba my entire life. I can’t believe it 🤣🤣🤣
As others have commented,' If I Can Dream' is his MLK tribute performance - Elvis was devastated by MLK's murder. People tried to stop him from performing the song because it was too 'controversial'. But he went ahead & PASSIONATELY performed it on his special just months after MLK's murder......rumour he broke down in tears after he sang it.😭
Elvis himself was part Native American - he didn't see colour, he saw people. He grew up in poverty, in a shack, dirt poor - he & his Mother depended on others for food. He grew up playing with all different races but mainly in the black community - he loved to go to the local church and sing gospel with the choir. A true Gentleman who never forgot his roots, but humble and so kind as a result.

You are so right. You can see the passion on his sweet face..To think Quincy Jones called Elvis a racist MF. Quincy Jones is a creep.!
Thanks
That's why they call him the "King" !
Hi Emily.. I loved your reaction to this particular Elvis performance. He was nothing short of magnificent! By the way you look amazing sweetie..🌺😘
Love you Girl.
Love you too!!! Thanks for watching!
I really would love to hear what your reaction would be after seeing the new biop on ELVIS. Tellin' you, Polk Salad Annie & Polk Salad Annie!!!
This is his most powerful performance ever it's dedicated to the assinations of M L King and R F Kennedy in 1968 Elvis is a legend thank you safe 😷✌Just pretend Bridge over troubled water 1970 live
There are a couple of other good performaces Elvis Presley did on "The '68 Comeback Special". There was a segment of the special,, when Presley has a reunion with his original band members, and they perform some songs together. Two of them that I would like to see you react to, are for the songs, "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" and his cover of the Jimmy Reed Blues song, "Baby, What Do You Want Me To Do?".
He wrote this for his friend Martin Luther King Jr. But before he could sing it his friend Robert Kennedy was also murdered. This was his tribute to them. His back up singers said he went back to his dressing room and sobbed.
One of the greatest singers ever and one of the greatest performances in music history. Phenomenal!!!
I agree. He’s beautiful and swag.
"You can't deny that voice", what a great way of putting it right out there.
Elvis is the king of rhythm and passion.
I think this is the only performance he did
Just this and one other performance - this is the better of them IMO - although the other performance was perfect too....but it was Elvis after all ☮️
