If everyone could wake up each morning and listen to Elvis sing, "If I can Dream," I know we could all be better than we are. A true and beautiful tribute to Dr. King.
I love seeing the reaction to people as they listen to this song. I've heard this song hundreds of times and I still get tears and goosebumps. Elvis is The GOAT- Greatest singer of all time, as is this song. If only this could be a global Anthem, to bring people together, instead of dividing and tearing apart.
Elvis worried he would be forgotten when he died. I hope wherever he is, he knows that all these decades later he is still the King and he can still touch people’s souls with his voice. And now, thanks to the new movie, another generation is getting introduced to this incredible incredible man and his music.
It was his tribute to doctor Martin Luther King Junior also Bobby Kennedy he admired them so much. He was emotionally, mentally and physically exhausted after singing that. His passion came through loud and clear.
I don't know if it's true,but I like to believe it is,but I read after this performance he actually went back stage and broke down and cried.This performance was just that important and emotional to him.
@@stephanietip it's true! Many of the words are directly MLK's words. RFK played on King's dream theme when he said he mentions George Bernard Shaw's quote and he flips it. I love that RFK meme, " I dream things that never were, and think why not." He died shortly after that!
I once read something written to describe the way Elvis performed this song. They said it was as if Elvis was begging, pleading for a piece of heaven to come down to bring peace and brotherhood. I agree
Elvis was not only a great Singer but a great Humanitarian also !He cared about people and tried to help as many as he could throughout his life! There are many, many stories of his kindness and generosity!
Elvis was devastated by the assassination of Martin Luther King & Kennedy (his friends), he was determined to express his feelings. It was a tribute to them, he wasn't supposed to sing this on the show... but he did it anyway. And he did... Elvis was the Man, the King !!!
God was just showing off when he made Elvis. Elvis gave God all the Glory❣️ some people just feel it right away❣️ So many pepple accused him of being prejudiced without doing the research.. This song nails his truth.
This beautiful song means so much love and prayers people's needs to learn and understand and lesson to the word"s to this beautiful song means they need to play this song today 2024 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
There is something SO GOSPEL about Elvis's singing and his back up singers! He sang that with every single part of his heart and soul. The backing singers cried after that performance they were so moved. They said they'd never heard him sing like that. He was truly speaking to God in that performance!
When he got to the line "out there in the dark there's a beckoning candle" is my favorite part because his voice and aura of his being hits you all at once and your just blown away of his passion and talent!
Elvis was more than just an amazing performer. He was born dirt poor, served his country and made himself the man he became. Listen to “In the Getto”, a song directly from his heart. His gospel music is phenomenal too
@@awordfrompresidentpat1985 Elvis never liked being called king. He always said there's only 1 king, and that's the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. How humble is that...the only one to be in all 5 Music Halls of Fame, set attendance records, set sales records, still has a world-wide fan base, had a BILLION PEOPLE WORLDWIDE watch the very first live global satellite television concert, etc...to say he's no king, just a man? He was raised up right!
yes he did. he also was the only one in America to be born dirt poor and, he also was the only one in the whole of America to serve in the army. what a guy! Elvis wrote the song in the ghetto too! come down off the cross you fool we can use the wood.
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 you talk out of ignorance. Every year the man wrote hundreds of $1,000 checks for various charities and didn't want it out in the public. The man found out about a black lady in Memphis who had no legs and got around by handles on top of skates. Elvis went out and bought her the most expensive electric wheel chair one could by at that time. Doing a show in Texas, Texas did not want Elvis to bring his black back up singing girls. Elvis said if they don't come then I don't come. And had them driven out special in front of the audience. One of his cooks at Graceland was a sweet black lady named Mary. Not only did Elvis pay her a great salary, he also bought her a house as a gift. These are only a very small of the ACTION this man did. What have you done?
@@cliffkelley6550 I am not the one on display. But if you must know I am a retired psychologist and lawyer and donate all my time working with underprivileged and abused children. Elvis was and always will be a marionette to the greatest puppeteer. Any of these charities black organizations? So he had a black housekeeper, was this job beneath a white person? or was he typecasting what white America had planned for the?.
@@cliffkelley6550 don’t reply to haters Elvis was not just a gifted singer he was an amazing human being. He was emotionally and physically destroyed after that performance and sobbed backstage
Some people are born for the modern studio, but back then, if you couldn’t sing live, you were done. I believe Soul Train of all shows was the first or one of to insist on lip syncing. A lot of shows had to be live on the spot. You didn’t get a second chance.
Ecstatic this song is getting exposure, we all need this type of inspiration right now. My parents always listened to Elvis while I was growing up, I was very fortunate to be exposed to his incredible voice at a young age. This song is one of my favorites.
Elvis actually sang in a Black Baptist Chuch Choir - The East Trigg - while in high school. He loved Gospel and you can hear that influence in this song .
42 is no age to die, but the impact he made in those 42 years is ridiculous. I wasn't even part of this world when he passed away, but he, posthumously, helped to shape my music taste from a very young age. I'm 41 now and I still find myself listening to his music. If that doesn't speak to people about what an extraordinary talent Elvis Presley is/was, then I honestly don't know. People will still be discussing his music when I'm long gone.
He was advised not to do this song…they said it was too controversial. He did it anyway. Was exhausted after this performance. He went backstage laid on the floor and cried!
Thank you for your kind words towards Elvis and his music. It's so refreshing to hear someone give him the respect he always deserved. He truly was a man before his time. He truly loved talking to Dr King, and would follow him when he was in Memphis. During the latest movie called ELVIS, his character mentions that Dr. King always spoke the truth. Dr. King told him that "when things become to dangerous to say...sing" It was right after his assassination, Elvis was putting together his 68 Comeback special. He felt the world was hurting and he needed to say something. This song was written for this reason for that time. I very much enjoy your work God Bless
Appreciate you delving into the legend that is Elvis ! I'm 76 and this performance always brings tears to my eyes! There will never be another artist like him, but as good as he was , he was a better man in his treatment of his fellow human beings!!
@@evelynmabe7877 I'm actually related to Elvis. His daddy was my paternal grandpa's cousin. I just wish I had gotten to meet him. He was an awesome man. My family loved him very much.
Amazing 👏 God,bless you, Pat,he is The G.O.A.T. 😢you, are so real you talk from your heart.he loved MLK and RK,that's why he sang the if I can dream.🤲🕺🎤🎸❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
That you were getting caught up in it like everybody else who was an Elvis PresleyTCB Fan and what other people hear it they get caught up in it and the haters do love him that's why they can say something about Elvis Presley because they are into Elvis❤❤❤
Elvis had a philosophy that each and every performance he gave should be as if he is debuting a song for the first time. He wanted his audience to walk away feeling like it was the first show they attended every time he performed. When he was on stage nothing else mattered but the fans. He truly performed for the love of his fans. He didn't feel his contributions as a singer were enough. He loved this country and he loved his fans. Maybe someday you'll get to meet him if witness protection will ever let him emerge from hiding. He truly is the king.
So glad I found this today. I love when a young person begins to "get" Elvis. His voice is a gift for the ages. I grew up listening to his records and watched his very first TV appearance. He only got better with time. His spirituals have no equal for me. What a God-given talent we all are blessed to witness, whether 70 years ago like myself or yesterday like so many others. Thank you for appreciating him.
I remember the first time I saw and heard Elvis do this song. It was the closest thing I will ever have to a religious experience. Even now, years later, I still get goosebumps.
BOOM, You just felt his SOUL ! I was blessed, I grew up with him in my life! I lived listening to his rock, his soul, his gospel, his crazy antics, Everything Elvis. Elvis's gospel songs was huge in my Church! All the men tried to be him! It was crazy!
I respect your decision to react to Elvis's solo version of this song after the slamming you took over the duet version. I think they're both beautiful. Personally, as an Elvis fan since 1956, it brings me joy to watch you discover his unique and extraordinary talent.
I agree! Of course this is the MUST SEE, but the Celine duet is beautiful for for sevl reasons as well: her voice, the amazing technology, and it introduced yet another generation to Elvis! The last to me is the most beautiful of all.
@@howrued1500 I agree! However, only this performance is the anthem. This is the one that will be remembered and what people will feel most connected to, the original. I enjoyed the heck out of the Celine duet tho! :)
@@stevepomeroy-rockin-pa-realtor Oh hello Steven Pomeroy. I see once again you are trolling another Elvis reaction. You obviously have double standards.
Elvis is more than his Vegas performances, white suit. People go back and learn. He was amazing and helped so many people. Check out his gospel album too.
Elvis was simply a 'force of nature'.....! Cannot think of anyone who can surpass his looks, singing, charisma but most importantly lack of prejudice.......he had a pure Soul.
Elvis was passion and love, you could hear it in his singing and he was a truly great American that cared about absolutely everyone! I loved your reaction to this! Keep going the dive will be very deep!
Great reaction! I am so pleased that the younger people are finding out about this unparalleled entertainer. I have seen quotes from other well known greats and many have said that this is the greatest live performance ever. Elvis was and is the King.
I really respect the free record for being able to give comment and I got it LOL I love the fact that you're discovering Elvis. He of course like most of us not infallible human beings he was very human but spiritual and always aspiring to be his best I believe. What what I respect about but she said he tried and he was authentic and true to himself and a few times where he realized he wasn't he was upset with himself and course corrected it. And just like many of us sometimes make some wrong decisions Elvis did that also but I do appreciate in the little time that he had on Earth that he wanted mostly to give and give and give back and he was humbled and appreciated that God bestowed him a talent and appreciated and loved his fans and the people around him the best that he could under the strenuous circumstances that he found himself in. This man had a heart of gold and I guess a lot of times there were times where he had to balance it out with a certain amount of anger which I believe he had to express and rightly so otherwise he would have busted but he was always able to come back to his generous and loving self. Please do a deep dive in the Elvis and hear all the Elvis Presley stories from people that know him first hand! And I would love to say that my favorite film was a black and white version of King Creole and I would like you to react to each and every one of those songs and also when he came back from the Army I like you to react to the songs famous fortune and another song called stuck on you. Thank you so much I hope you grow your channel I'll check back with you to see if you got this request LOL thank you again
I loved the comment on the video stating the media made him out like a ladies man but was real, raw and amazingly talented. We need to remember that his voice was so strong and vibrant that’s why I adore him so much. ❤❤❤❤❤ I love your explanation of his singing style he is and always will be The King. Emotions are so high right now gotta calm down thank you for this video.
Best performance from Elvis. And best song. No doubt. Definitely do “ in the Ghetto” and “ suspicious minds” . Two totally different songs, both amazing
You need to listen to I will never fall in love again, just pretend, undeniably blue… he recorded well over 400 songs and has sold more albums than any other singer or group in history…
That whole special was incredible. It was very of its time but also timeless. The opening to this special is great, too. He opens with a badass rendition of the blues banger Trouble from King Creole followed by the rockabilly song Guitar Man written by Jerry Reed.
It is absolutely amazing and awesome to hear Elvis Presley singig all his Songs, resurfacing fir the very very old in the 80 ish, 70 ish and down down and Generations is Brilliantly requested, it makes me in my late 70 ish feeling young again, this will Stop the Dementia effecting on most of us. Thank you so so much President Patrick Smith, we love your facial expressions and your body languages 😂😂👍👍👌👌☦️🛐🙏🏻💞💞🕊💫🌈🌟❤️🔥💖😍🤩👍
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 **** 💗 You have no idea how happy it makes long time Elvis fans, likes us, discover just how talented he was, with a heart of gold!!!
“When Lisa Marie was born, E.P. phoned me to say how he was so moved by the experience,” Nancy remembered. But she also explained how Elvis had shared the complexity of his emotions that day, saying he also told her “how he felt it was not fair that she would have such great blessings and the same child born in a ghetto that very night would suffer poverty and want, and God knows what else, perhaps all her life”. “His heart was so full of love and pain that night,” she added.
I absolutely love your heartfelt reaction to this song by Elvis. It's so gratifying to see other people effected as much as I was. I discovered this video back in 2008, while singing as a regular at karaoke, and I was so moved, I learned it, as accurately in his delivery as possible. It was a workout - not only singing-wise, but emotionally - it brings up feelings that both added power to my voice, and other parts would suck the wind right out of me, and I would start sobbing - and have to stop, take a break, and try again. When I finally felt ready, after working this song for a week or more, I sung it at open-mic night, and was so energized by it, I nailed it, full voice, all my feeling came thru full force. I don't do Elvis impersonations or anyone else, but when I find someone's performance of a song that just absolutely sends me - I just have to emulate them as closely as possible; I want to sound like THAT... Elvis did the same thing, with opera singers especially, later in his life. He met a guy named Roy Hamilton, and I kid you not - Elvis spent the remaining years working up that crazy-good vibrato... emulating Hamilton's style very, very closely. Here's the link to Roy Hamilton's song that caught my attention, so much that I edited my own video of Hamilton, leading to my discovering these two met and became friends; ua-cam.com/video/cdgkyZ4amS8/v-deo.html Elvis knew what worked, and was an incredible student of singing. I think he was the greatest self-taught singer of all. So I took his example, and sang that song, breath for breath, exactly like him, and for the first time, I had people coming up to me smiling thru tears, crying, thanking me. In that moment, I finally understood what it felt like to be a conduit, part of something so big, that I had just been picked up by, carried for a bit, and put gently back down again, on the ground. This is a very special song.
He always left it all on the field. Perhaps the first & one of the few times he bucked Col Tom Parker, his predatory Manager. The Col wanted him to close out the show w a Christmas song. This was my Mom’s fav Elvis song, followed by In The Ghetto and then Walk a Mile In My Shoes. A GREAT ONE TO REACT TO: Elvis & The Black Community: That Echo Will Never Die Really enjoyed this reaction; Thank You!❤️💙
I won't water this down. Elvis Presley was the greatest performer of all time.
Hell yes the greatest he even sang in Spanish thank u Elvis from a Mexican
RIP THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL ✌🙏👏❤
One and only one ELVIS. I love his beautiful voice , but most of all I love who Elvis was and what he still stands for.
If everyone could wake up each morning and listen to Elvis sing, "If I can Dream," I know we could all be better than we are. A true and beautiful tribute to Dr. King.
I love seeing the reaction to people as they listen to this song. I've heard this song hundreds of times and I still get tears and goosebumps. Elvis is The GOAT- Greatest singer of all time, as is this song. If only this could be a global Anthem, to bring people together, instead of dividing and tearing apart.
This is the REASON
Why
Mr Elvis Presley
is the 👑.
The Man , the voice.
Elvis for ever 👑

Honestly, this is probably my favorite Elvis song of all time. Just the amount of emotion behind it alone... spectacular performance.

There will never be another one like him. Please do " An American Trilogy" from the Aloha in 73. Thank you sir, greetings from Greece 🇬🇷
He was telling everybody at that time love one another come together one another TCB
The World needs this right now.
Elvis put his heart and soul into this song.He sang this song for MLK,he was saddened by the death of MLK.
Elvis had more charisma in his pinky than most stars now have in their whole bodies.
he left his heart on that stage. he ment everything he said. God bless you

Elvis was simply a 'force of nature'.....! Cannot think of anyone who can surpass his looks, singing, charisma but most importantly lack of prejudice.......he had a pure Soul.
The passion he had in this performance is the greatest of all time.
This is Elvis's best performance ever.😊🌏
This is perfection and humanity needs to come to grips with that fact.
Elvis was passion and love, you could hear it in his singing and he was a truly great American that cared about absolutely everyone! I loved your reaction to this! Keep going the dive will be very deep!
Great reaction! I am so pleased that the younger people are finding out about this unparalleled entertainer. I have seen quotes from other well known greats and many have said that this is the greatest live performance ever. Elvis was and is the King.
I really love this song when Elvis sings the song he pulls his heart out thank you for this video
I never get tired of this... Amazing man our Elvis :)

King elvis
I really respect the free record for being able to give comment and I got it LOL I love the fact that you're discovering Elvis. He of course like most of us not infallible human beings he was very human but spiritual and always aspiring to be his best I believe. What what I respect about but she said he tried and he was authentic and true to himself and a few times where he realized he wasn't he was upset with himself and course corrected it. And just like many of us sometimes make some wrong decisions Elvis did that also but I do appreciate in the little time that he had on Earth that he wanted mostly to give and give and give back and he was humbled and appreciated that God bestowed him a talent and appreciated and loved his fans and the people around him the best that he could under the strenuous circumstances that he found himself in. This man had a heart of gold and I guess a lot of times there were times where he had to balance it out with a certain amount of anger which I believe he had to express and rightly so otherwise he would have busted but he was always able to come back to his generous and loving self. Please do a deep dive in the Elvis and hear all the Elvis Presley stories from people that know him first hand! And I would love to say that my favorite film was a black and white version of King Creole and I would like you to react to each and every one of those songs and also when he came back from the Army I like you to react to the songs famous fortune and another song called stuck on you. Thank you so much I hope you grow your channel I'll check back with you to see if you got this request LOL thank you again
The closer you are to god the more the devil wants your soul
RIP peace Elvis he was an exceptional human being
he always gave 100% heart and soul in every song he ever sang. Recorded or live. Never another.
I loved the comment on the video stating the media made him out like a ladies man but was real, raw and amazingly talented. We need to remember that his voice was so strong and vibrant that’s why I adore him so much. ❤❤❤❤❤ I love your explanation of his singing style he is and always will be The King. Emotions are so high right now gotta calm down thank you for this video.
I never appreciated him during his lifetime, I was 18 in 1977. I re-discovered him in my 30s, plus his image is iconic. His gospel is the best.
Elvis is the only person that puts so much passion and emotion and strong and powerful voice that he puts you under his spell
Elvis is the best of us when he sings. Love to all here.
I can listen to this song all the time and still get chills just listening to it
Elvis was,is and always will be the King, take your Beibers etc from now until whenever and you will NEVER hear the like AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!?????
Elvis won all his Grammys for gospel
Another amazing reaction. Lots of younger people are now realising how fantastic this man and his voice truly are. ❤️
This is my favorite song he has ever sung❤️❤️❤️❤️
After this performance, he walked backstage, collapsed on the floor, curled up into a fetus position, and cried. Great reaction.
Wow really. Bless him. He was exhausted. Amazing performance . Special man . Gifted .
He was one of a kind, my favorite of all time, he died when I was 5, and English is not even my native language. The King is loved everywhere.
Best performance from Elvis. And best song. No doubt. Definitely do “ in the Ghetto” and “ suspicious minds” . Two totally different songs, both amazing
Try to listen to “💙Blue Christmas with Elvis “🙏. From Denmark 🇩🇰
You need to listen to I will never fall in love again, just pretend, undeniably blue… he recorded well over 400 songs and has sold more albums than any other singer or group in history…
That whole special was incredible. It was very of its time but also timeless. The opening to this special is great, too. He opens with a badass rendition of the blues banger Trouble from King Creole followed by the rockabilly song Guitar Man written by Jerry Reed.
It is absolutely amazing and awesome to hear Elvis Presley singig all his Songs, resurfacing fir the very very old in the 80 ish, 70 ish and down down and Generations is Brilliantly requested, it makes me in my late 70 ish feeling young again, this will Stop the Dementia effecting on most of us. Thank you so so much President Patrick Smith, we love your facial expressions and your body languages 😂😂👍👍👌👌☦️🛐🙏🏻💞💞🕊💫🌈🌟❤️🔥💖😍🤩👍

“When Lisa Marie was born, E.P. phoned me to say how he was so moved by the experience,” Nancy remembered.
But she also explained how Elvis had shared the complexity of his emotions that day, saying he also told her “how he felt it was not fair that she would have such great blessings and the same child born in a ghetto that very night would suffer poverty and want, and God knows what else, perhaps all her life”.
“His heart was so full of love and pain that night,” she added.
I absolutely love your heartfelt reaction to this song by Elvis. It's so gratifying to see other people effected as much as I was.
I discovered this video back in 2008, while singing as a regular at karaoke, and I was so moved, I learned it, as accurately in his delivery as possible. It was a workout - not only singing-wise, but emotionally - it brings up feelings that both added power to my voice, and other parts would suck the wind right out of me, and I would start sobbing - and have to stop, take a break, and try again. When I finally felt ready, after working this song for a week or more, I sung it at open-mic night, and was so energized by it, I nailed it, full voice, all my feeling came thru full force.
I don't do Elvis impersonations or anyone else, but when I find someone's performance of a song that just absolutely sends me - I just have to emulate them as closely as possible; I want to sound like THAT...
Elvis did the same thing, with opera singers especially, later in his life.
He met a guy named Roy Hamilton, and I kid you not - Elvis spent the remaining years working up that crazy-good vibrato... emulating Hamilton's style very, very closely.
Here's the link to Roy Hamilton's song that caught my attention, so much that I edited my own video of Hamilton, leading to my discovering these two met and became friends;

Elvis knew what worked, and was an incredible student of singing. I think he was the greatest self-taught singer of all. So I took his example, and sang that song, breath for breath, exactly like him, and for the first time, I had people coming up to me smiling thru tears, crying, thanking me. In that moment, I finally understood what it felt like to be a conduit, part of something so big, that I had just been picked up by, carried for a bit, and put gently back down again, on the ground.
This is a very special song.
1986 Inducted into rock ‘n’ roll Hall of fame.
1998 inducted into country Hall of fame.
2001 inducted into gospel Hall of fame.
Only one
He always left it all on the field.
Perhaps the first & one of the few times he bucked Col Tom Parker, his predatory Manager. The Col wanted him to close out the show w a Christmas song.
This was my Mom’s fav Elvis song, followed by In The Ghetto and then Walk a Mile In My Shoes.
A GREAT ONE TO REACT TO:
