You need to watch and hear ALL his stuff...he was passiinate and LOVED to sing...listen to his Gospel, and you will be BLOWN away by his depth and soul...he sang from the heart!!!!
😅🤣🤣 You said..."I never expected to be smacked in the face with REAL!!! Nice reaction dude You have raised a VERY VERY good point tho brother!!! Something I have never thought about before... You have raised in my mind a question... I'm 52! I grew up surrounded by everything Elvis! My mum adored him. Everyone did! He was everywhere!!! I watched all his movies. I thought I heard all his songs! I heard this song 2 weeks ago after watching the movie!!!! Never heard it before in my life!!! How??? How is that possible??? You also said, that we have been talking about this message of peace for years, over and over and no one hears I have a question about that!!! When have you ever heard this song played on the radio? Name a time! When? NBC refused to play it in 1968 and I've never heard it played on radio since then! Get my drift? If this song was Elvis's most powerful message about PEACE written in 1968... how come it's never played on radio? Just because we talk about peace.. doesn't mean that our message gets published. Yeah? Has this message about peace, as sung by him, been purposely banned from being publicised for 54 years? Name a time that you have heard this song (this message from Elvis) played on the radio!!!!!! Name a time!!! Imagine if the entire world was to react to this song all at the same time. Imagine it! What damage could that cause to the war mongerers in power? What damage could that cause to the type of people that would do something like assassinate Dr Martin Luther King????????? How come you and I have never heard this song on radio? It's just a question!
Walter Earl Brown wrote this for Elvis after seeing and listening to his reaction to the assassination of Bobby Kennedy and MLK that year. Elvis really admired MLK.
Evis was and still is a credit to this world he had no hate, he was humble and grateful charismatic, kind and gentle..always, that shows the strength of a faithful man.
This is considered to be the greatest stage performance ever given by any entertainer. He is considered to be the most beautiful human to ever live..photographic memory..hearing a song once he could sing it..4.5 octaves..amazing breath control..sang bass , baritone both tenors..gospel, rock, pop, opera, rhythm blues country number 1 records in each category listed..top paid movie star played many instruments, sang at age two..taught himself to play the piano and I could go on on into infinitum. This song was written just for him because he believed what was in the song.
My parents played Elvis’s rock n roll when I was a kid and I hated it. I never say this. Honestly, that’s the best male live performance as a total package I’ve ever seen. Elvis was a flawless as that dope white suit!
If I read you right, you would love Elvis's "U.S. Male". If you choose to take the Elvis journey, you'll discover that he was more versatile than any singer ever (before or since).
No monitor, no ear piece, no modifications on his voice. Just The Man, The King himself. You should also listen to (of possible the Hawaii or Las Vegas versions) In The Ghetto (Elvis grew up really poor) Polk Salad Annie Suspicious Minds Bridge over Troubled water
Oh man you've made my day with this one.. This is my ALL TIME favorite Elvis song. It brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.. it has such a powerful message !! There is actually an even more powerful version of this song, where they edited clips of Dr. Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speach into the song.. the song was written right after MLK was shot !! Elvis was so multi talented.. He could do Rock, Country, Gospel, Soul and R&B... and he did each and every style to perfection ! I have been a Elvis fan since I was 6 years old.. my older sister had a crush on him and she played his music all the time.. When he died in 1977 I was only 8 years old.. and I cried for days... I was so sad I never got to see him live in concert. Back in 2009 I went to Memphis and visited the Graceland estate.. oh man did that make an impression on me ! That same year I went to a concert where he original band and backing singers performed, and Elvis appeared on a large screen in the middle of the stage.. I was the closest thing for me I could get to seeing him live on stage !!
Elvis was very troubled by the assassination's of both Martin Luther King and RFK and he sang this song as a tribute to them not long after MLK's death.
This is when Elvis pours his heart and soul into this song trying to bring everybody together because he was really like this he was trying to wake people up they should play this song today
Elvis preachin' is the best Elvis. Never fails to touch the soul... He started his career singing gospel and never forgot it (though his managers might have). This was all him, demanding he'd end this 'comeback special' with this heartfelt tribute to MLK (against the wishes of his record company, but he pushed it through). According to several people in the band, he went back to his dressing room immediately after that 'thank you, good night' and just curled up in a ball on the floor, emotionally exhausted. He meant every word he sang here. The Vegas impersonators are such a sad travesty of the force of faith and soul that Elvis was.

I've been an Elvis fan since 1956 when I was 11 I'm now 76 so do the math 54 and 55 Elvis's plant paying his dues playing all the little nightclubs around Louisiana Texas whatever he could sing but in 1956 song Hound Dog overnight we have ervic early footage of him on The Ed Sullivan Show the Milton Berle show several other shows it shows you how it really rock and roll how he could get down he is to go to greatest of all time he was the Entertainer of the 20th century he's in for halls of Fame rock and roll gospel rhythm and blues and country he has the charisma that looks the Boise Stage presence and the moves his voice changed some after he came out of the army and as he got older it got deeper but it was always fine as wine Elvis Junkie right up to the last performance even though he was swelled up some loaded in the face son because he did have a heart attack even though they found drugs in his system his right side of his heart was twice or three times bigger than the left side so heart attack is the official death the death records standing in system it all played apart but the number one thing that killed him was Colonel Tom Parker who worked him to death he signed him up for what 31 movies all through the sixties which led to the 68 Comeback Special which led to the 73 aloha Hawaii Special Forces led to the Vegas days that break Vegas stays again and then Elvis on tour where they said Elvis have been in 15 cities and 15 nights took 50% of Elvis's earnings when Elvis was a tall or didn't feel like going onstage he went anyway I do not like the last two performances that they put together to make the CBS special Elvis in concert six weeks after his last concert Sammy's Presley his father tried to get CBS not to air that because Elvis was not at his best but the boys never felter faltered on his last performance AKA Elvis Junkie
Great reaction, and don't despair people all over the world are waking up and standing up , have faith all has to be revealed before we can be really free .💜💛💜UK
He WAS such a good entertainer and good to all people, he gave many cars away and sang gospel , yes he was special, he has God to Thank for that and I believe he knew it !
Good reaction! Elvis was no joke when it came to music or life in general. If everyone treated others with the respect, kindness, generosity and love that he did this world would be exactly as it should be. Check out Elvis singing "Life".
Not one of Elvis’ own favourites! He said during the recording session “The goddamn thing is as long as life itself!” He only recorded it because his friend Lamar Fike, who was working for a music company, brought it in for Elvis to record. Elvis always found it hard to say no to his family and friends.
Sally Cook it's always fun for me to learn new Elvis facts. It's not one of my favorites either. I like the lyrics but don't really care for the music part of it.
👍You hit it when you said gimmick sadly a lot do see him as that who don’t know him due to impersonators wearing ill fitted jumpsuits and dad dancing ,this 68 show was fantastic , though if you go back to 1950s things changed like never before when Elvis hit the world the image that voice nothing like this was seen before all respect to little Richard Chuck Berry they are legends also but I’m talking about commercially he was the whole package and more , if possible tune into the 50s and that great 1960 post army interview it’s along way from jumpsuits . has there ever been a cooler guy ?? NO
A stunning performance from Elvis, which was his tribute to Martin Luther King after he had been assassinated, & also the assassination of Robert Kennedy not long afterward. Elvis privately supported the MLK movement, & as a teenager shooting to global stardom, he had suffered racism, from his own White people, because he was bringing black-influenced music in a fusion of country, blues, & gospel, to young white audiences, & he refused to keep away from his Black friends. Elvis had been raised in a poor Black community, as one of four very poor white families to live in this Black community. Elvis’ friends were the Black children living around him, & he grew up with a strong affinity for Black people & their music.
The hardest thing our God has ever told us to do is to love our enemies when we live in a world where we are told everyone is our enemy and we are everyone's enemy.
The reason we haven’t found the Dream is because we have a dark force in the form of politicians who divide us to gain power over us all. They don’t want us United. We have to believe we are all one, love each other and stand as one.
Elvis was not the person who wrote the song -- go to ua-cam.com/video/IZuVaRJZwcY/v-deo.html "GATES OF GRACELAND: SECRETS OF THE '68 SPECIAL" interview & explanation of how "If I Can Dream" came to be, who composed it & explanation of Elvis on the floor at 22:00
He sings from his heart. Will never be another Elvis Presley. React to his gospel music.
Elvis Presley is immortal. Never ever seen before anything like this. His passion and charisma are unbelievable!
He was great I adore him ⭐⭐👍🙏
You see Elvis was not a gimmick.He is the KIng.WE miss and love him so.
Yes Elvis speak it.Elvis loved everyone regardless of skin color.
Straight from the heart and soul ❤❤❤❤
Great reaction. I ask myself the same questions every day. Elvis believed in the dream and tried, through his music, to bring people together.
Elvis at his best...period

😅🤣🤣 You said..."I never expected to be smacked in the face with REAL!!! Nice reaction dude
You have raised a VERY VERY good point tho brother!!! Something I have never thought about before... You have raised in my mind a question...
I'm 52! I grew up surrounded by everything Elvis! My mum adored him. Everyone did! He was everywhere!!! I watched all his movies. I thought I heard all his songs!
I heard this song 2 weeks ago after watching the movie!!!! Never heard it before in my life!!! How??? How is that possible???
You also said, that we have been talking about this message of peace for years, over and over and no one hears
I have a question about that!!!
When have you ever heard this song played on the radio?
Name a time!
When?
NBC refused to play it in 1968 and I've never heard it played on radio since then!
Get my drift?
If this song was Elvis's most powerful message about PEACE written in 1968... how come it's never played on radio?
Just because we talk about peace.. doesn't mean that our message gets published. Yeah?
Has this message about peace, as sung by him, been purposely banned from being publicised for 54 years?
Name a time that you have heard this song (this message from Elvis) played on the radio!!!!!!
Name a time!!!
Imagine if the entire world was to react to this song all at the same time. Imagine it!
What damage could that cause to the war mongerers in power?
What damage could that cause to the type of people that would do something like assassinate Dr Martin Luther King?????????
How come you and I have never heard this song on radio?
It's just a question!
This is one of my all time favorite songs, I've been a huge fan of Elvis for over 50 years 🥰
Should have been a Grammy award
Love this song! This never gets old! And the lyrics are still of today
Thx for reacting! 🎶💜
Walter Earl Brown wrote this for Elvis after seeing and listening to his reaction to the assassination of Bobby Kennedy and MLK that year. Elvis really admired MLK.
After listening to all takes of this song. This one is flawless.
Did he get a grammy for it?
Evis was and still is a credit to this world he had no hate, he was humble and grateful charismatic, kind and gentle..always, that shows the strength of a faithful man.
Oh ELVIS great great Singer.
So a BEAUTIFUL SONG.....OMG....His voice🗣💯💙
People zero in on the hips and glitz, but Elivis actually had a heart and a voice too.
I love this.
This is considered to be the greatest stage performance ever given by any entertainer. He is
considered to be the most beautiful human to ever live..photographic memory..hearing a song once he could sing it..4.5 octaves..amazing breath control..sang bass , baritone both tenors..gospel, rock, pop, opera, rhythm blues country number 1 records in each category listed..top paid movie star played many instruments, sang at age two..taught himself to play the piano and I could go on on into infinitum. This song was written just for him because he believed what was in the song.

You should watch Elvis and The Black Community. You will see what they tried to do to him! He is the best of all time ❤❤❤
👌👌👑👑❤❤
Great reaction! Ty
Best Elvis song ever.❤Presilla said that Elvis loved this song and he song from his hart...you can see his teard up at the end🥰
Elvis did this in honor of MLK just after is death in Memphis.
This is when Elvis pours his heart and soul into this song trying to bring everybody together because he was really like this he was trying to wake people up they should play this song today
I like you!! New sub from Long Beach Ca. Ty
Elvis insisted on doing this song in the 68 Comeback Special after the assasination of Martin Luther King
Elvis's Tribute to MLK after his Assasination in Memphis Tennessee where Elvis Lived. It was based on the message of MLK'S "I Have A Dream" Speech.
Elvis preachin' is the best Elvis. Never fails to touch the soul...

..very astute observations fellow traveller. Peace to you on your path of self awareness and higher consciousness.
Think that alot of people thinking of him as a fun guy in the movies. But his later stuff us unbelievable
i love you
You can't sell more records than any other single artist in history unless you have serious vocal talent my friend.
This song was a tribute to MLK and Robert Kennedy, both had been assassinated a few months prior to this special.
Gerry Cinnamon - Canter Live @ TRNSMT Festival 2019 , you should listen to that! Great crowd and great song!
Should be the national anthem

We’ve come a long way since this. We still have a ways to go but it’s a hundred times better today
The hardest thing our God has ever told us to do is to love our enemies when we live in a world where we are told everyone is our enemy and we are everyone's enemy.
The reason we haven’t found the Dream is because we have a dark force in the form of politicians who divide us to gain power over us all. They don’t want us United. We have to believe we are all one, love each other and stand as one.
well....the announcement at world summit was banning old forest logging today ! ....still, we must ensure they DO IT !!
u should react to Careless Whisper of George Michael
It’s systemic.
the answer is all bad things only come from one place it is [ the DEVIL ]
There is only one Elvis
He wrote this song when Marten Luther King was killed. That hurt him so much. He hated the way blacks are treated.
