At the time of this Elvis Special there were 3 billion people on this planet, and over 1 billion watched this program.
Someone once said that God was just showing off when he made Elvis...he had it all - talent, good looks, charisma and personality. I think that you would like hearing/reacting to some of his gospel music.
Sounds about right! BUT, he had his demons, and they ultimately won!
I think John Lennon said it.
@@Tubs34 Before Elvis there was nothing~~ John Lennon
@@evelynmabe7877 Unfortunately that's true. They say "The candle that burns the brightest lasts half as long." 😪
Love this comment!!!
It's been said before many times, but it needs to be known. Elvis was a gospel singer that just happened to sing rock and roll.
It was 1972 when Elvis bought my mother a new washing machine in Hope, Arkansas. I was around 10 at the time and our old Ringer / Washer broke down. Mama couldn't afford to get it repaired and sure couldn't afford to buy a new one. We were walking through town when mama stopped in front of a Western Auto Store and was staring at a new washing machine there on display. I seen these two men coming down the sidewalk heading towards us. I was kind of shy so I kept facing the store window as they passed behind us and went into the same store where we was gazing at the washer. They both walked around inside the store looking but not really looking at any particular thing. As we stood outside, one of the men who years later I found out was Jerry Schilling, Elvis' friend and Body Guard, came up to the window and motioned for us to come inside. Mama took me by the hand and we headed off down the sidewalk in the opposite direction. In a flash, the man came out and ran up behind us and yelled for us to wait. He said a friend of his noticed we were looking at the washing machines and he wanted to know if we needed one. Mama said for years her first instinct was to say no and run like crazy but for some reason she didn't. She told him yes we needed a new washer but she just didn't have the money to buy one. He told mama if she wanted one, to come in the store and show his friend which one she wanted and he would buy it for her. Mama didn't know what to think or even what to do but we followed him back to the front of the store and went in. Elvis had a floppy hat on and had it pulled down low covering his face. We came in and Elvis asked Jerry did mama know which washer she wanted or did she want something else ? Jerry told mama to show him which one she would buy if she had the money. She picked the one we had been looking at and Elvis told the salesclerk he wanted to buy that washer and have it delivered and installed at the address my mother would give him. Mama protested that she couldn't afford it but Jerry told her it was all taken care of. Elvis paid for the washer with a check and told my mother he was glad to help her. She told him Thank you and there was no way she could ever repay him. Elvis said by accepting it as a gift was payment enough for him. And with that, him and Jerry went out the door and were gone just as fast as they had came. Still a bit dazed over the whole thing, Mama asked the salesclerk did he know who they were and he laughed at my mother and said, " You really don't know ? Mama shook her head back and forth as the salesclerk said, " That ma'am was Elvis Presley ".
No One will ever be greater than Elvis Presley!!!!!!!!!
Elvis was the best friend i ever had in my entire life. we met when i was young, but our friendship lasted past that one day in time 10 years to be exact up until his death. All the memories of my friend are tucked safe in my heart forever. i saw him a few weeks before he passed we had a short conversation which i will never share again because people are so nasty and comment hurtful heart breaking things they do not know me but they still can't keep their mouths closed about things they know nothing about. I walk past Graceland everyday. Great reaction loved it very much.. love from the one and only Memphis Tn.
Elvis gave one of his backup singers a house
Let me tell you that he sings too in a Black gospel group. He was an intelligent man who helped some Black musician.
Great positive comments. All good blessings to you and your wife.
Elvis would take the last dollar in his pocket and give to someone .... In need
He literally gave the shirt off his back when they said they liked it.
One of, if not the absolute greatest performances I've ever seen, just iconic..one for the ages
Elvis was an amazing man of Faith in God/Jesus! In Atlanta in 72 I saw him perform and being on the side seating with the center seats right in front of the stage, Elvis was singing, lights off over the audience and I saw a light moving down the center aisle towards the stage, as the light got closer to the stage, I realized it was lit birthday cake, a white haired lady carrying it, as she got about 20 feet from the stage security stopped her and in the middle of singing a song Elvis said, "Stop, you let her through, and escort her up on stage. As she approached Elvis, he greeted her with a kiss, blew out his candles as his birthday turned out was the next day, sat her in a chair near him and sang Can't Help Falling in Love with You! That's what made me a fan of an amazing man, entertainer, man of God, awesome human being!
Elvis was a kind and gentle man. I grew up in the era of his wonderful voice I was so fortunate.
Elvis will always be the KING! He stood for everyone, this song went #1 again when 9/11 happened. Elvis stays relevant throughout time.
This is the best performance by any entertainer ever then or now.Elvis took no tax deductions for any charitable giving.He wanted the giving to come directly from him.He is THE Big Bang of music. What we have today started with him, his first and only unique style.He popularized rock and influenced cultures worldwide.The most beautiful voice and man God ever created.
He is the Big Bang of music… I like dat…
Yes
Has to be Elvis's best performance ever the Goat ✌👍
When Elvis is singing not only this song but all he goes into his own word you can see it on his face he truly is and was a phenom .
Elvis was my first Concert back in 1972 as Whitney Houston said all you can do is just stare at him he is so beautiful…… let me tell ya he was so freaking unbelievable in Concert ….. Elvis is still the most beautiful man I have ever laid eyes on inside and out and that includes my husband.
He was my first concert in the same year. In Norfolk, Va.
After reading your comment to my husband i just about peed my pants coz he said this.....wait till you get a load of looking at me! You won't ever take ya eyes from me ever never 👳lol.😂 🙈😂
@@shereekendall1003 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@lisaray9944 lol.😂 funny aye Lisa 😅he just said.....ya can have all of dat! Lol.😂😃😂😅😁.....he's silly but funny....that's what I love about him lol.😊.....I said to him I can't trade you for Elvis Presley....but just let me look at his picture while we do the flambango lol.😂 whatever that is lol.😂 😃😀😁😅😄😃😂
I got to seen him in 1957 raw talent oh my God And beautiful but his voice only gotten better as he got older
I have to subscribe to a man who reacts to Elvis like that ❤️
I don’t want to pick sides. All Americans are supposed to be on the same side. God allowed us this power only to use for good. As soon as we stop using it for good it will evaporate. I do believe that. Elvis knew that God had picked him for a reason and that to be worthy of the blessing he had to use his position for good. He lived his life right. We all make mistakes.
He was a beautiful man with incredible talent
YES…..thy undisputed King !!
After performing this song he went into his dressing room and cried
Thank you for doing the research of Elvis music. A lot of the other reactors don't have clue. If I can dream is one of my favorite Elvis song. He sang it with so much emotion. You can see he put his whole spirit into it. You can see how exhausted he was at the end when he said Thank you. This man felt the music in his soul and he touched our soul as well. Love Elvis forever.
He was one of a kind . He loved everyone. And loved giving . He gave a lot but he never wanted to be recognized for it . He helped a lot of people . He was the greatest . He wail never be forgotten.
God blessed him for sure!! He was also "color blind"!!!!!
Bro after this song he went to the back and passed out from being over exhausted, rolled up in a ball and cried his eyes out he loved Martin Luther King and every person on earth. Have you checked out Elvis in the black community the legend will never die pt one and two, this will show you a lot about this great man..GOAT
He recorded this song lying on the floor in a fetal position and lights out.
Great performance from a great singer Elvis.
Elvis fan from Morocco.
Thats why he was named king RIP King!
Here's the real reason why he's The King, nobody has ever had as much power and presence on stage Elvis especially since except for in movies, his moves are spontaneous, and he, more than other artist I've heard, gets straight to heart of the fact that music belongs to everyone and it should make you feel.
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 the world for the better, in their own unique ways, & paid the ultimate price💗 ****Luv your reaction **** 💗
to me this is the greatest performance and song of all time
TIMELESS!
Elvis was a man for the people! ❤
Never be another Elvis, but I thank God that he gave us Elvis for a time, even tho it was short, but his spirit still lives and touches us today. He's singing with the angels now!
Iconic song as Elvis still his will stay 4ever. Love yall!
Need to review Elvis 1968 come back TV special! He is having soooooooo much fun!
Tous les acteur et chanteur était facinet de Elvis le plus photographie au monde et Holywod aucu' acteur ou chanteur arrive à Elvis trop classe trop beau Amérique c est Elvis
I am happy to find young people on You Tube learning about the music of we seniors.
Happy to know that it will continue to be lasting, long after we are gone...
There will never be another Elvis.
He changed the course of American pop music and was a legend in his own time.
In addition, he was a kind person to all...and generous to those in need.
Also lest I fail to mention, THE most gorgeous man that ever lived.... :-)
Incomparable Elvis!
ELVIS had a particular purity that shone through in his life. . The grace with which he moved, his sensitivity to the music & a spiritual side
His backup singer said he was an angel.Gordo Stoker, his backup singer and Ray Walker said Elvis was nothing but good and did not know how to be any other way and that he was sweet and kind.
That's true.... he had a purity that shone through. He gave his heart to the Lord at an early age and he displayed Christian character in many ways unlike other super stars at the time.
Man had soul
Until he became an addict. He was human.
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!
Best song sung by the best performer EVER! ❤️
Soul depth and diversity.
An iconic artist, the likes of which may never be seen again.
This is a great example of Elvis using his whole voice.
I wasn't old enough to experience his performances, but I've heard he did a superb live shoe, as we can see on some of these concert recordings.
Hi Devin I appreciate your respect shown to Elvis. I am a die hard Fan of Elvis since 1984. We never lost him he is immortal well through his music.
Powerful The king 🤴there must be peace and understanding 🇬🇧 must be played more today than ever 👍
THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL! AND I WAS THERE, I AM 63!!!
A wonderful and very appropriate response to this exceptional singer and person! The GOAT.
Thank you!! 👍
Best regards from Germany!
Elvis never left the building..😇he’s always here
Elvis was a great humanitarian and he still is to this day
I went to see him twice and wow what an entertainer
Love what you said! God bless you.
This is my absolute favorite Elvis song. I sing it every night in my head before I go to bed. I have watched several reaction videos of this song and yours is by far the best. No cussing bringing the Lord into it is fantastic! I love you man!❤
He has so much soul in his voice and in his heart! one of my favorite singers!
No one can compare to Elvis! keep speaking out truth, Devin! Love watching your channel!
Elvis loved everyone regardless of skin color.
I love your reaction! This is by far my favorite song of all time. My mom and grandma actually recorded this performance on cassette tapes and it was played alot while growing up. I went through the time of integration and was bused to a predominantly all black school that was closed after my second year because of all the racial riots and fighting. So much hate and division back then. We've come a long ways, but have so much farther to go. Thank you for playing Elvis's best ever! #loveiscolorblind
🖤🤍💛🤎🧡
Elvis sang this from his heart and soul. It was a sad time in our history in 1968. I was only 5 but the events of MLK and Robert Kennedy were so traumatic to our country and my family that I remember it.
This is one of my favorites by Elvis. It was relevant then and still is today. To everything that you said...Amen. If we let the good lord guide us he will never steer us wrong. Thank you for another great video..your reaction was awesome.
This and Walk On are my favourites. So much meaning and Emotion put into it, yo ucan feel it 40 odd years later
I am LOVING these "reaction" videos!!! Just discovered them and it turns out they are AS GOOD as actually sharing a song like this with a friend or someone in your life who do not always listen to what you choose to share or even WANT TO!!!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR REACTION!!
Because yeah, Elvis was the king and this is far and away my favorite Elvis song!!
The best! Love him forever ❤ great reaction
This is not a song. This is a prayer!
Great reaction. Thank you!
Your words couldn’t be more heartfelt and honest
Awesome song and reaction. Please keep’m coming
And always his words...'thank you'...👑👏❤....no thank you elvis👑 g.o.a.t❤
Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏
Everything has been said and continues to be, about the gift that Elvis was to this world. Though I was not fortunate enough to experience him live in concert, I feel blessed that his videos and recordings still take me there, virtually, every single time to this day and everyday. His magnetic passion for his craft, his fellow human beings, and God, explode, radiate, and touch the ear, heart, and soul of any and all who appreciate the man and great and multi-talented and incomparable individual that he was. I thank you, Devin, for sharing his giftedness with so many who are only just being introduced to Elvis.
Powerful song brilliant reaction
Great reaction. Love to hear Christian people remark on Elvis. God bless you, brother!!!
His gospel is out of this world, he will take you to church, he won four grammies for his gospel
I was 16 when I watched this on TV with my mom and grandma. We were so happy to see him. It was a really big deal worldwide and people just loved him. The 60's were a pretty crazy time to be alive. The music was awesome. As a teenager we had so much fun listening and dancing to good music. We did not do drugs. I did go to parties with alcohol though!! My mom was 2 years older than Elvis so it was like Elvis was my brother who lived in Memphis. We talked about him all the time...hi new records, a tv appearance, or something he was going through. I saw all 31 of his movies which had soundtrack albums. They were sappy, but made money because he sang in them and people went to see him sing. I wish my mom were alive so I could take him to see the new Elvis movie with me. She liked the Elvis movie where Kurt Russell played Elvis. Kurt is another man/actor we both really liked. I digress. Thanks for the reaction video. I have seen this hhundreds of times but love watching it with a new fan.
AMEN!!!! I LOVE watching Elvis reaction videos and your reaction to this song is THE BEST!!!! You get it! You get Elvis! You get what was and what IS!!! Preach it!!! I absolutely LOVE you for this reaction!!! God Bless You!!!
There's so much emotion, passion, and pain in his voice. There's so much conviction in every single word he's singing, you can tell he FELT every bit of this performance. And you could feel it. It honestly seemed like he was going to pass out at the end. With all those huge notes, all that emotion, all the pressure of airing such a song at that time, and knowing this was his one shot to nail this song, because he said he would never perform it again. Amazing. Legendary. The stuff of icons. The power of the King.
His performance of, "Trying To Get To You", during the same, Elvis '68 Comeback Special, is also one of his best, and one of music history's best. It's a must see.

You won't be sorry. Thank you. Take care. Be safe. Be well. All my best. Peace & Love. ✌🏻❤
I love your reaction, is perfect, your emotion was showing and you never stopped the song. I just subscribed. Thank you
Wonderful reaction brother, Elvis truly delivers on this one such raw power and emotion
Thank you, this song is so relevant today.
I think, more so today, than back then!
@@evelynmabe7877 I can tell you weren't there. It was so much more volatile.
So relevant today more than ever 😊
Keep up the faith Devin. Great reaction
FYI: Elvis did dedicate song "If I can dream" to MLK. But, this song was actually written for Elvis, as the kind of man they knew Elvis to be. You can see Steve Bender (spelling) describing the making of the 68 Comeback Special and that song.
EXCELLENT REACTION! WELL DONE!
I grew up in Memphis and heard dozens of amazing stories about his character, his generosity, his humility. You must do a reaction to Elvis' American Trilogy. This song blends gospel with Elvis' style like nothing else!
God bless
thanks for playing the song with ut a break...what a awsome song
I love your reaction to THE KING and I love your message. God bless you
You’re a amazing brother lol And Elvis is the 🐐 100%
Hi Devin, the whole video was truly powerful!! OMG that song is very relevant today! it looks like he was singing from his soul and believed every word ! OMG that was incredible! stay safe and healthy my good man !! I Rate this reaction 10 ⭐️s
Elvis I'd believe every word because he had the song written specifically for him to honour his friends, MLK and Bobby Kennedy. He was political through his singing and behind the scenes. In my day this song from Elvis was huge. I still have the original LP.
So true in UK this is still so relevant , never thought at 60 asa Britain indian Sikh we all suffering class division
Great react. I still get chills when I watch this cuz he really meant every word and it shows.
The king of rock n roll and everything else.
Just clicked onto your channel love it love your reaction gonna be a regular from now on take look after yourself keep up the awesome work 👏 👍
everything you said friend, it is true, and Elvis also said it loud and clear in this song, from that moment Elvis did not see the world the same again
Thank you very much for letting the video play and not interrupting it every 15 to 20 seconds to give your reaction. You actually waited until the end to give your reaction and opinion and I appreciate that. A very good reaction video keep up the good work
Elvis had a photographic memory when it came to music. He had just rehearsed this song just once prior to this performance. The producers were worried he couldn't pull it off and considered a studio recording then having him lip sync it. Elvis said "no way, I got this". Boom. Another classic.
We are moving towards a better life! I love your channel! Love your spirit! God bless you and your family…
Very impressive!! I appreciate your reaction to this video more than any other I've seen. I just watched another one and the guy says "I have no complaints" (?) Keep up the good worth sir and God bless you. 💝👍
Excellent review. Love and peace be with you, brother!
Glad I met you Brother. You are a Brother, because you are a Christian like me. There are not many races, only ONE race, called the human race. I even hate that word, it's divisive. Try his gospel music, no one does it better. Love you Man.
Greatest live performance EVER!! Great reaction😊 First time here
Elvis was great at singing the gospels. Would be great to react to any of them - can’t go wrong.
I am not a religious man at all, but I can't help but picture Elvis in the afterlife with a chorus of angels behind him.
Earl Brown was asked to write a song to replace White Christmas for Elvis' 68 comeback special which aired in Dec. of 68. Martin L. King had been assassinated in April and Robert Kennedy in June of that year. Elvis had been devastated by the loss of both of these great men. Earl Brown later said he wrote the song as a tribute to them. It has a very powerful message. For me, this song and the passion in which Elvis sang it was the original "Be the change you want to see." ☮❤✝ Y'all should really react to The King Is Gone by Ronnie McDowell. He sounds like Elvis but you can also hear his love and the pain of his loss. Elvis was his hero in a way. Both of these songs make me cry every time I hear them.
