    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    He actually sold more than 1 Billion records globally and what's more amazing; The King never toured outside of the United States 🇺🇸

    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 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

    Did you know that Streisand wanted Elvis for the movie Star Is Born 1976, but he said no, could have been a great movie. For me he has never been dead, he lives on as one of the greatest. Great video guys.

      That would be a great Pop Quiz question, If BP1 has not read this I might use it 😀

    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.

    Elvis had many layers. He felt very strongly about people being treated equally and no one being looked down on. Elvis was supposed to sing a Santa Claus song and his producers did not want him to sing this song.

    "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💯👍

    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).
