God was just showing off when he created Elvis. He did this song with pure love and passion from the soul ! It gives me chills every time I hear it. Again thank you for the review on this man's music. 🎵🎹
The song was written by Earl Brown with Elvis in mind. Mr. Brown knew of Elvis’s love for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Using Dr. King’s speech "I Have a Dream" as inspiration for this song. Dr. King was assassinated just 9 miles from Elvis’s home in Memphis Tennessee. During rehearsals, Mr. Brown noticed one of the background singers had tears rolling down her cheeks. He approached her and asked her if she was OK. Her response was that she had never seen Elvis sing with so much passion. She said it was like he meant every word. And he did! The burgundy colored scarf around his neck was there to pay tribute to all the lives lost during the Vietnam war.
The people who imitated Elvis really did a disservice to him. It became a joke. Elvis
Presley really was the greatest performer of all time. One of a kind.
I have always said this too
Elvis was nominated for 14 Emmy's and the 3 he received over the years were for 3 of his gospel songs. Elvis was deeply religious and grew up singing in a Baptist Church choir.
A lot of people called him the king. He did not like that. He said there was only one King and that was the Lord Jesus Christ 💕
Elvis Presley sold over one billion records worldwide.
We need this song NOW!!! It should be played at every event!! He was never a racist .. He paid for his friend Jackie Wilson’s medical bills for Nine years.. Also helped Jackie when his career was on a down side Elvis put it out there ( going to go see Jackie tonight) soooo of course everyone tried to get into the event!! That helped Jackie a lot!!!
This song was not only a tribute to Dr Martin Luther King Jr but also to Senator Robert Kennedy and the soldiers who died in the 68 war. Also Elvis sold over one billion records more than anyone else!!
Slight correction. We were in Vietnam from 1956 to 1973. I lived in Vietnam (as a civilian) with my folks from 1968-1970. What war are you referring to in 1968?
@@drieuxkoeppel8152 seems his whole comment is full of holes.
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 Only the year is wrong. The rest is Fact.
@@drieuxkoeppel8152 ongoing Vietnam war
What people of today don't realise is Elvis wasn't only a singer but a great Humanitarian who tried to help as many people as he could throughout his life ! He changed some of the words to this song even though he never wrote a song himself !
Elvis. There is no one before or since that compares. Period.
Sold over a billion records and performed only in the U.S. but Canada once or twice. Still holds the record for a single singer. He also lead his singers with his movements& band
Elvis felt that song with ever fiber of his being!!! With every strand of DNA!! He felt it deep in his soul!! And believed every word!! The night his daughter was born he called Nancy Sinatra, Elvis was upset telling her how sad he felt that every child mainly minorities/ poor kids will never have the opportunity as his daughter will!! Who does THAT??? Elvis does!!!!! We all should think like that!!!
This song was written for ELVIS. HE did this song as a tribute to MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. He loved him and then, of course KING was killed in Memphis...ELVIS' home town! HOW SAD...
"Now or Never", "I CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU" & "HEARTBREAKE HOTEL"!!! and so many more! Also "CRYING IN THE CHAPEL". PLEASE PLAY THESE FOR ME! I FOLLOW YOU and LOVE YOUR REACTIONS and just think this was before Auto Tune!!!
...FYI...Elvis actually sold over ...1 BILLION records... no other artist comes close! 2nd most visited home in America(after the White House)...
He actually sold more than 1 Billion records globally and what's more amazing; The King never toured outside of the United States 🇺🇸
John Lennon said" before Elvis, there was nothing". Please do more Elvis!
Bob Dylan said hearing Elvis for the first time was like busting out of jail.
@@kentlewis987
And according to his wife, Bob Dylan hasn't spoken for a week after Elvis had died. He was/ is a true fan!
Elvis's comeback special was filmed at Christmastime. His manager wanted him to end with a Christmas song, but he wanted this. Too bad you are required to have a big ELVIS on your screen. You're missing the drama of his performance.
He never performed this again. Think it just captured that moment perfectly- this is a special performance.
he also said after this show that he would never sing an other song that didn't mean anything to him. think about it.
Elvis is loved by so many after all these years. I think he is the King of Rock, Gospel, sings Country
Just think what ELVIS could have done if he had lived until 87 years old! He definitely was not through, yet!! His body just gave out!!! THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL!!!
Record Sales
It is estimated that more than one billion Elvis Presley records have been sold worldwide. From his early sessions at Sun Records to the end of his career and beyond, Elvis albums and singles enjoyed strong sales across every format-vinyl, cassette, CD and digital.
It's a 10 from me. No autotune, just phenomenal talent and passion for what he believed in. That baritone voice is amazing to say the least. ⚡🎧🇿🇦
Elvis had it ALL...looks, Charisma, natural talent and the BEST voice ever! Was the KING...Is the KING and Will ALWAYS be the KING!
Brilliant but he has sold over 1billion records 😀 that is an iconic performance. A guy with a Mike and a black background - and he had you guys both glued. There is no one that had what he had - totally unique. I’m with everyone definitely do more of the king - he’s worth it.
@Matthew Gray
We totally agree, no flashy stage and pyrotechnics, just a great presence and a wonderful voice will captivate anyone.
We really enjoyed that and will be returning to Elvis and other artist from the past to improve our own knowledge of them and hopefully introduce them to new viewers too.
Thanks for watching.
Gorgeous voice, Gorgeous man. The best to this day. Listen to his gospel music, awesome too
What?!! This is a 10 times 10. Masterpiece.
Elvis was devastated by the Assassination of Martin Luther King junior he was deeply saddened by his death so much he asked his friend to write a song as a tribute to him Elvis was also devastated because he was assassinated in Memphis Elvis’s home town he really put his heart ❤️ and soul into this song please react to Elvis singing Bridge Over Troubled Water but it must be the version with Elvis wearing his white jumpsuit it’s just out of this world 🌎 Elvis was the greatest entertainer that ever lived no one comes close except my female Elvis Angelina Jordan she’s just turned 16 she won Norway’s got talent when she was 8 she’s the best out there Love 💕 from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴👑👑👑🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🤴🤴🥰👋
Elvis was born in my home town of Tupelo Mississippi…❤️❤️
Angelina Jordan sings well, that is not in dispute, but she is singing pure successes of others, she is pigeonholing herself and later she will only remain a promise and nothing more. That someone already compose her own songs for her.
As some writer said He is the greatest interpreter of the American songbook
This is a Gospel song, this is a prayer.
I think so many people know the tabloid Elvis...the 50s rebel...the 60s bad movies and the jumpsuit overweight Elvis...but what these people are missing out on is the ability of this man as a vocalist, an entertainer with the unmatched charisma and the respect he had for the singers, dancers,other artists and the black culture he was surrounded with when he was growing up...he was unbelievably generous with people he didn't know and gave away millions...if only people would spend more time watching and learning more about Elvis before they judged...when Elvis was around remember he never toured outside the USA ( this is a sore point with regards to the management of his career), he wasnt around when we had MTV, there was no UA-cam or Instagram so if people wanted to see Elvis in concert in the 70s they went too him such as David Bowie who flew to New York after a show in England to watch Elvis at Madison Square Garden in 1972 and even without all these social platforms he managed to sell over 800 million records and don't forget not all of Elvis' record sales were recorded....nice review.
@SJ TL
Thank you for the nice comment and all the information.
Cheers
Elvis' one and only original and my favorite, it was written specifically for him.
Everything has been said about Elvis for a long time...The great and the only one!Thanks friends, great reaction!👏👏👏🇷🇺
Elvis is still the number one solo artist till this day he has over 700 songs done 31 movies the only solo artist who did a concert where over one billion seen this concert in aloha from Hawaii in73 did Vegas in his last seven years and we love him till this day
Over 500 million, possibly close to a billion
@@darrowcelaya4310It Was over a billion people who watched Elvis. But, the last seven years weren't in Vegas. People comment about Elvis and don't get the facts first. I'm in my 60s and know just about all there is to know of this man.
He was really singing with his whole heart , see the pain on his face
All Those Number Ones Two Years In The Army Never Visited Our Shores . He'd Have Double That Number With Just One Concert Here In The UK.
Could you please bridge over troubled water the version live of Elvis Presley,,,live 1970…
And just think, he was supposed to close this tv special out with a Christmas song. Elvis said no and closed his show with this spectacular performance! There is also significance to the red neckerchief. There were a lot of lives lost during that time during the Vietnam War. The red represented the blood lost.
Great reaction guys...
try
What now my Love - live 1973
polk sallad annie - live 1970

elvis sold more than 1.5 billion records and has 31 no.1 hits
Elvis sold over 1.5 billion records
Request Elvis American trilogy from 1973 aloha from Hawaii .
Correction* Over 1 billion records worldwide
This is not normal stuff
Thank God for ELVIS 🙏👑👑👑
The most beautiful voice the universe 👑😍
Reaction " Just pretend " Las Vegas live 1970 please thanks thanks very much ✌️
Powerful song Elvis sings with passion.
The back story of this is at the end of his 1968 Special. When Elvis came back from his Army duty, he wasn't sure if people would still attend his concerts like before so he did this Special and to close it, he went alone on stage to sing this song. Now his agent, Colonel Parker, didn't want him to sing this song but Elvis insisted. He was full of emotion after the assassination of Martin Luther King and of course, Bobby Kennedy and he was so distraught that he sang this song. There are quite a few lines from Martin's 'I Have A Dream' speech as well. When he finished and the curtains closed, he fell to the ground and cried for a very long time. He has only sang it a very few times since then (of course, before his death) but that song was to heartbreaking for him. There's a documentary that shows how Elvis had no racism in his heart whatsoever and felt that he had to pay his respect to MLK. This was from the heart and soul. Thanks for the reaction as always. Love from Canada.
This performance was amazing and so emotional. This was in response to the assassination of Msrtin Luther King!!
This is my favorite Elvis performance a 10. It was perfection and filled with emotion.. Please do the research. Watch the whole 1968 Comeback special, Aloha from Hawaii and That’s the Way it is. Three of the best concerts recorded of his career. Many bio documentaries are worth while checking out.
I never got the chance to see Elvis in person which I regret because he was my first pretend boyfriend.
I have seen Tom Jones four times. His voice is also iconic and I like him very much but I Love Elvis forever. He just had a little more sparkle.
Trying to get to you from 68 come back is also a great one
Tom jones had a great voice Elvis also has a great voice but on another level and never has there been such a versatile singer as him
Hi Boys, I saw him twice in concert in his prime. Impossible to describe in words the charisma and the dynamism of Elvis. The audience worshiping him. He was loose, funny and like a shy, polite boy when he talked to the audience. But singing with a swag nobody can ever equal. 3rd row center $10 (equal to $50 in 2022). He sold out every concert in the last 10 years of his life. Every girl wanted him and all of us men wanted to be like him and to be his friend. BTW the high collars he asked for in the jumpsuits were because he felt the Napoleon style made his neck look better because he felt it was too short. You should check out some UA-cam flux on his jumpsuits. The last one I think was sold for $1,500,000 dollars. The Aloha jumpsuit cost $65,000 ($250,000 in 2022 USD) to make in 1973. It weighed 70 pounds. He gave a long cape (same style but longer) like he wore in Hawaii to Muhammad Ali.
Bill Belew created all of his jumpsuits after Elvis told him the theme he wanted. Bill lived 2 blocks from me in Hollywood and was a great fellow. Google his story and you will see there is a whole world of Elvis’ jumpsuits.
I subscribed and liked your videos. You fellows have great personalities and rapport between you. God Bless you both.
Ronald
There are no words!
Fantastic voice, world wide mega star, says it all.
I concur with @jenell56👑, Elvis was amazing and sang everything; R'n'R, Rock, Gospel, Blues, Country, Pop, Ballads......I definitely give it a 10! Yes, Elvis had 21 No1 hits in the UK and 18 in the USA, a great reaction guys, you should do more Elvis👍
@Chris MC
We received a lot of comment saying we should do more Elvis, so that is what we will do.
More coming soon.
Elvis also sang rockabilly. He's from my home state of Mississippi. We love and adore this talented man. You should check out more.
Fantastic London he was brought with the gospel singers
Showwwwwwwwww🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼
Thank you for playing Elvis
Elvis had a fantastic voice!! Love listening to him!!🎼💕🤗
The king!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
I have been an Elvis fan for 52 years. He was the whole package and was a wonderful human being that never forgot his poor upbringing and his fans meant everything to him. I remember the day he died (08/16/77) and the true sadness I felt along with millions of other fans. He will never be forgotten and there will never be another Elvis. I will remain a devoted fan until I die. Thanks for sharing this video.
Elvis is always good
I would re release if I can dream, in todays charts,what a great statement for the troubles of todays world.Awesome
It’s a 10!!
There’s about 800 more in all genres Hospel Country Rock Soul
He is the greatest of all time
18 #1's in the USA and 33 Worldwide #1's.
OUTSTANDING REACTION MY FRIRNDS!! 👏
So stunning!!!
Love this one, the passion and the message is just amazing. I'd definitely recommend 'In The Ghetto' if you haven't heard that one, very good. Great reaction as always, really enjoy the facts you add. Thank you 🙂
@Becca
Thank you too for watching and we will return to Elvis and other great artist from the past too and see what else we can discover that we missed the first time around.
Hope you come and check some of those out with us.
All the best
Haha, great reaction, guys. Elvis recorded over 700 songs, so a pretty deep rabbit hole if you dive in, but I would suggest live performances. There's just something about him live... Here's a few, but I'm sure other people will give you lots of suggestions too. Bridge Over Troubled Water from 1970 (ua-cam.com/video/mLbOBoa8vD8/v-deo.html), Trying to Get to You from the 68 Comeback (ua-cam.com/video/KZ64T6gEdC4/v-deo.html), and Just Pretend (ua-cam.com/video/CuuaXIA4A-A/v-deo.html). And what the heck, Suspicious Minds too (ua-cam.com/video/T1g5tVGZhfk/v-deo.html).
You should watch the video of his cover of Bridge over troubled water from 1970 Elvis, That's the way it is
One of my favorites Elvis songs
My man Elvis beautiful inside and out
Our first mega star from America!
Love, Elvis
Elvis and Tom were really great friends.
@OverandOutChief1
"Aha, Thank you very much!"
That's my best Elvis impression.
Thanks for watching
He was on movie set when he learned of Martin Luther King Jr's assassination. He was devastated.
Then two months later Senator Robert Kennedy was also slain.
They were two of the greatest allies in the Civil Rights Movement.
This aired in December of 1968.
It is said that after this performance he quickly exited the stage and went and sobbed in his dressing room.
He fought so hard for Civil Rights and equality.
He grew up in a ghetto and saw what the black community endured.
If you guys want more information about him react to Elvis and the Black Community.
The song is beautiful. 👍👍
Great song. 👌👌
The King. 👏👏
From Basque Country with ❤️.
I watched it live when the 68 special was broadcast. Goosebumps
I have read that after he performed this he fell on his knees with tears running down his face
American Trilogy, there are so many.
Se non ci fosse stato Elvis non sarebbero mai nati i Beatles
MASTERFUL!!!
Onley about 390 some songs to listen to from Elvis. &0s Vegas shows are great as is hie Satilite broadcast to over 1.5 Billion people in 1973. Injoyed your reactions tremendiously.
Oh my god...U have found my fav song of Elvis.....after Maneskin I’ve loved u...now much more😂😂🤟🤟🤟
@Fabio
YOu are very welcome, we really enjoyed it too.
Thanks for watching.
Ciao for now.🤟🤟
@@BritPopsReact I cannot believe.. Maneskin singing this song at eurovision now.. My fav song.. My fav singer, Elvis, my fav band.. Maneskin.. A dream
Well it's nice that YOU can see him, because WE can't!
This was probably his finest performance and finest moment.
I believe it was a tribute to Bobby as well. They were killed 3 months a part.
WOW! Going really old school here and we LOVE IT, Elvis, being the King needs to be revisited for sure! Got to hit up "In the Ghetto". And when you do the pop quiz, YES, Elvis died in 77. But Jim Morrison IS totally still alive!!
@Chuey's Mama
Great to know you are enjoying the Old School revisits and it's great to see BP1 seeing things for the first time too, we will be doing a lot more of these and picking some great artists from back in the day and we even have something for you coming soon, we still didn't get it..Sorry but we tried.
hope you had a great week and about Jim, have you seen him around?
@@BritPopsReact How I wish I have seen Mr. Morrison! I am fairly certain I was with him in the Mojave Desert in about 1988, 1989. I was with a few native friends partaking in some native "tea", wooosh, what a time! Glad Chuey never saw me like that.
50 ans LE MESSAGE fantastique 👀👀😱😱👋👋👍👍🙏🙏🙏
I'm in my 50s never really followed him when growing up but obviously heard his songs and movies. But lately I have omg Elvis presley ur something else wow this song u defo sang and it really fits for 2022 my god ur a gorgeous beautiful human one off addition I no u had troubles a bit of a temper and u sure loved the women, u weren't perfect but who the hell is .This song and ur passion u showed, made it so up lifting 👍✌🇬🇧❤ puts ur soul in a good place
Tom Jones and Elvis were great friends, Elvis admired him greatly.
21 Nr 1s, just in 21-22 years of career... Next you should try "the power of my love" and "bridge over troubled water"...
Have you seen the “Elvis” movie? Austin Butler NAILED this scene PERFECTLY. Great film!
I suggest you check out "What Now My Love" from the Aloha from Hawaii concert. I prefer the satelliteshoe version not the rehearsal show one.
U guys need 2 do a Elvis reaction on Suspicious Mind, 1970, live on stage!!
"IF I CAN DREAM"

ELVIS
Måneskin,,, (cover)
Hi guys, OMGOSH, Elvis, love him, I remember exactly where I was when I heard of his passing. I think there is a story around this recording, he was told not to perform this song, he sang anyway at the end of the show, but they wouldn’t allow his backing singers on stage because they were ladies of colour. There is more to the story if you want to look it up. Thanks for a brilliant upload, let’s have more of the same 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Enjoyed your reaction but please could you react to the song Trying to Get to You from the 1968 come back special. It is IMPOSSIBLE to sit still in your seat!
Thanks so much for sharing this! I've just subscribed in hopes of seeing lots more Elvis reactions. I have a couple requests: (1) Elvis Presley "Love Me" on The Ed Sullivan Show (3:08) and (2) Elvis Presley - What now my love (Live 1973 Best version!) (3:15).
Thanks for the Sub kathi.... we will be following up with Elvis... I think we relise now that we don't really know anything about him at least i don't at all #BP1 .. thanks for watching and stay tuned !
Omg! I am obsessed this this songĺll
"Bruno Mars" in the same breath of The King...Don't compare; not even in the slightest of anyone to Elvis. He sang every genre; Rock and Roll, Rhythm and Blues, Country and Gospel and everything else that you could think of, BETTER than anyone else that only sang their (one) genre💯👍
