I'm sure you've already been told this ....but in case you haven't...this is his tribute to MLK just months after he was killed! He was big supporter of MLK and when he was killed Elvis was devastated! Growing up in the south himself in poor black neighborhoods....he never had the prejudice that was so prevalent during that time period. During segregation ...when it was illegal for a white person to even go into an all black establishment .....Elvis played in the clubs. He started singing in the local churches choir....an all black church....unheard of back then. If you haven't seen "Elvis and the Black Community" documentary .....check it out some time. It will probably explain better than I can where Elvis came from & some insight of who he was.
U should watch elvis presley and the black community
It was a very true Moment for Elvis...MLK 🙏❤️🕯️
Absolutely, anyone who's leaving Link's... just watch anyone 💯🙏❤️🕯️
Most people don't understand Elvis was a Gospel singer singing Rock'n'Roll songs.
If I can dream, the song, was written approximately 24 hours before the taping of the Singer TV Special of 1968 entitled "Elvis". Elvis wanted a message song and he was devastated when he learned that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr was shot and killed and it happened in Elvis' adopted hometown of Memphis, Tennessee. When the song was completed Elvis had, via a piano as the only instrument, a few chances to learn the song. Fortunately, Elvis had a photographic memory and he FELT the song. He cried after the first take. He knew this was a meaningful song and the exact opposite that Colonel Parker wanted to end the special (being a Christmas song). From 1968 to 1969 to 1970 Elvis' 4 1/2 vocal octave range was incredible, Not only had his voice matured but Elvis was hungry. Hungry to put the 30 movies me made, and some of then he despised, behind him. There was no guarantee that the tv special would be a success. But, Elvis put his faith and God and again opposed to Colonel Parker Elvis put a gospel melody into the special. Elvis was on the west coast when the tv special aired. 5 minutes into the special his phone wouldn't stop ringing. Western Union messages came from around the world. This tv special was loved by he critics and fans alike. Elvis had shown who he was and he made no apologies. If I Can Dream was a spectacular song sung by a master who put all his life experiences into the song. Take care and may God bless you. Jeff Schrembs ElvisCollector.info
Voices like this can NEVER BE SILENCED. They exist and belong to ALL of humanity now. ELVIS ENDS WITH A HUMAN PEACE SIGN done with his arms. As the centuries and millenniums fly by... in 5 or 6 THOUSAND years from now... I have a strong premonition that THIS SONG will still be played. It sadly holds the exact same significance that it did when it was performed in the 1960s. In fact it is even more popular today.
The fact that this civil rights anthem tributing Dr Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy was written specifically for Elvis Presley to deliver, and then performed by this white man, who grew up in one of America's first mix neighborhoods during the Great Depression/Segregation era, DURING the race riots we all know about in the 1960s, ON A TELEVISION NETWORK that could be viewed by just about EVERY HOME IN AMERICA, against the demands of his OWN MANAGER, the NBC NETWORK who aired the show, and the NBC SPONSORS paying for the show SPEAKS VOLUMES and should always be in the historic record of this moment moving forward.
THANK YOU POINTING PUT THE PEACE SIGHN
WITH HIS ARMS ALOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW. SO BLESS YOU 😊
“Out there in the dark, there’s a beckoning candle.” Full body chills every time.
I know right!!!!! The way his voice gets a touch raspy when he belts out the word dark......man
The notes he hits on the phrase "out there in the dark" is old school blues pentatonic scale from deep inside, old Delta blues Howlin Wolf and Sonny Boy Williamson and Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson type old school blues. Elvis was hittin from the rockin chair as they say. He had more old school blues in his soul than anyone his shade of pale. James Brown and Little Richard both considered Elvis a brother, in the best way possible.
@@joe6096 I know. I’m from Mississippi 😀
😢My favorite line.
Where in Mississippi are you from? I lived in Jackson, Ms. 8 years way back in the 70s, loved it. My dad's boss was Elvis recruiter, yep, put Elvis in the Army in 1958, my dad went in in 1960, been to Graceland twice, '76, '77, was there one month before he died, was suppost to meet him but he was asleep upstairs, you ever visit Graceland?👍✌️@@tarae5076
This was the last song of his comeback special. His manager did not want him to end the show with this but Elvis was so affected by Dr. King's death in Memphis that he insisted that he would do this song. If you are ever in Memphis visiting Elvis's Graceland - nearby in downtown Memphis is the motel that Dr. King was murdered and it is now a great Civil Rights Museum. Great reaction!
Elvis is my favorite music artist of all-time and this performance in my mind is his greatest ever. I have watched If I Can Dream too many times for me to count and still I get chills when I hear that voice and see the emotion Elvis displays. As you said Mia, the King lives forever. Outstanding reaction.
Awe ☺️ This Feedback Is Magnificent , Thank You Tommy . Happy To Share My Experience With Everyone 😅
Absolutely on the same page. Incredible. I'm a 75 yr old English lady in the middle of England and have loved Elvis since 9 years old. I've admired others of course but Elvis is my number 1 and I've never wavered! He's unsurpassable and this rendition is off the scale. Feels like the first time, every time! ❤️❤️🙏🏻⚡️⚡️⚡️TCB 🇬🇧
I have always been intrigued by citizens of the UK that are Elvis fans. There are so many amazing artists that are from the UK, but you are a bigger fan of Elvis than you are the Rolling Stones or the Beatles. In my opinion there is nobody past or present to be on Elvis level as an entertainer and vocalists, but I am an American. Elvis never performed in Europe, but did you ever get an opportunity to watch Elvis live Jane? I am 39 years old, so obviously the King was way before my time.
@@Tommy-qj9wq I am Australian and believe me, Elvis is as popular here as he is anywhere else in the world. I flew from Melbourne to San Francisco in 1976 to see him in concert, and it was the highlight of my life.
I’m English and fell in love with Elvis’s voice on the radio in Kenya when I was only 3. Didn’t even know what he looked like til we moved back to England in 1963 and saw a film, where I wished I was the little girl acting with him!!! Love the reactions of todays generations who are finding Elvis and keeping his legacy alive. Best holiday ever was my visit to Graceland recently. 👌💕🕺
Elvis was saddened by the death of MLK,Elvis loved everyone regardless of skin color.
This song was made after rfks death he was already upset about mlk but rfk was the last straw so he responded with this song
I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this but this song was written for Elvis during a very turbulent time in America’s history. We had endured the assassination of our President, John F Kennedy, then Martin Luther King was shot and killed. You can feel the emotion in his voice when he is singing. Always brings a tear to my eyes.. TCB⚡️
I love that you don't stop the song every 2 minutes to talk. Elvis was my idol and this is my favorite song by him .
You are not the only one to feel like that. There is a reason he is called The King of Rock.
Elvis is everywhere
Lol Literally 😅
Elvis is the best and always my favorite, beautiful generous soul
That's amazing!!!!
People need to learn and understand what this beautiful song means and learn and LESSON to the word"s of this beautiful song please 🙏 ❤❤❤❤❤
He is one of the very best singers of all time he is in COUNTRY, R&B, ROCK & ROLL,SOUL,BLUES There is no one that has been around for as long know of can not touch him at all
Your right "The King Lives Forever" .....
As others have noted, this is a tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. King was murdered 15 minutes from Graceland, Elvis’ home. That added to the agony of Elvis Presley’s heartache of King’s assassination! Is there any wonder why he was so passionate in this performance? Love your reaction my friend.
❤️😊
I love Elvis and Great reaction.
this beautiful song was sung by Elvis in tribute of Dr Martin Luther King
As a country back in this time, we lost all of the visionaries to the evil hands of assassination, which inflicted almost total darkness to our countries 💔 spirit and existence. Gunned down were President John Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King, Bobby Kennedy, and even Malcolm X in a time span of 5 years!!
Elvis was the Biggest star and entertainer at this time, and he sang about our pain, loss, grief, and unbearable 💔 sadness we faced as a nation during this very DARK period in our nation's history. Sadly, in 1977, he, too, would be lost too soon.......😢😢😢
Elvis grew up in the church & specifically in a black church that was near his home which welcomed hiim & his mother..
gospel music was his absolute favorite & he had the largest collection of gospel music in america at one time...
the infulence of his church upbringing is so up front in this performance & he literally did take us to church with this
Thank you for sharing such an honest & heart touching reaction with us
Elvis......Once in a lifetime...
Imagine how it felt seeing this live back in 1968. I was 13 and was blown away along with everyone else in the room. The girls were crying, and the guys just stared in silence.
He was the complete package!!
1968 classic 🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for the wonderful reaction pretty lady👍🏻
I don't think anyone has ever topped that.
One of the greatest singers that's ever been and no one can even come close to his vocal abilities !
Listen with headphones for an even better experience x
I like the way you didn't interrupt his music. We all go to enjoy Elvis. Thank you.
this song makes me cry every time
Was Elvis in 1972 when I was 10. Probably the best concert ever. On another note he hated being called the King. He said there is only one king and that's God. Check out Elvis and the Black Community Part 1&2.
1968 comeback special
Never been into Elvis but gaaaaaaadamn this hit me hard
Not many know this. This song was written by another famous country singer named Mac Davis. Both he and Elvis were close friends, and Elvis asked if he could sing this song to honor Dr. King and ease tensions across the country. Mac agreed, and Elvis did not disappoint.
The most passionate meaningfull performance of all time
A beautiful person inside and out.
Beautiful song
You can hear the early church influence in this tribute and masterpiece by Elvis.
Elvis' performance of this song and Whitney's national anthem are the best songs "belted out" from the soul songs I've ever heard. Pure emotion and exceptional vocals.
To you. Young people. Nobody could match Elvis Presley. NOBODY. CANADA
I like to listen to this song at least once a day
KING!!!!!
This guy has never been equalled and never will be .This is the greatest ever performance Elvis gave.👑
This has always been my Number ONE favorite Elvis song. When I was really little I would ask my mom to play the one where Elvis "yells" at me... lol I didn't know the terms but I knew I felt it.
Watch “Trying to get to you” from his 68 Comeback Special…..Elvis raw & powerful!
The King : 👑
INSANE BEAUTIFUL REACTION SWEETHEART! ❤️❤️🙏🙏🫂🫂🤗💯🔥💯🔥💯
Great to see the younger generation realize the greatness of Elvis. Now that his music has your attention I hope you enjoy his over 700plus recordings. His voice was the greatest ever . He sounded the same live as he did on record. Perfect pitch, amazing vocal range and no auto tune . Great reaction. I look forward to more.
.
Elvis was definitely an angel sent by God to try to reunite the world in its hatred and turmoil through his music and when he finished his job God took him back home. 😇
… Elvis was the first and the best! ... A millennium singer for eternity ... ✨💎✨ Thank you
best vocal performance ever.. Elvis greatest voice ever to sing
We will never hear a voice like that Ever again!!! THE KING FOR A REASON!!!
There is a reason why nobody names their sons "Elvis." There is one Elvis.
The back story behind that song is incredible. It was in 1968 and Elvis put it all on the line for his convictions and what he believed. Many who don’t know much about Elvis just think he was a shallow Rock & Roller however he was much deeper than that by far. You should react to “Love Me Tender” 1970 live concert. It will shock you what he does during the song and leave you speechless.
The G.O.A.T.!!! 'Trying To Get To You' '68 special is SO goood!
Never was a name more fitting for a person then king was for elvis.
Your reaction to this gem is so very appreciated....no interrupting every minute and the look of pure enjoyment...ah, just st like the song...perfect
Powerful Voice and a Powerful Message.
Damm , man can sing. Thanks for posting 👍🏼
Many could probably write the music but only Elvis could really tell the story! Forever the King 👑
How can Elvis tell any story if some one doesn't write the song?
The troll is almost in every elvis Video and always write the same one_sided nonsense about elvis, he probably write down the questions and answers to present them here, to get attention, always the same Procedure 😂 😂
He was a beautiful person inside and out
ELVIS SANG THIS SONG WITH SOUL HE GREW UP IN THE BLACK SOUTH
Nice reaction
It always hurts to hear this because it played at my Father’s funeral. My Father really liked this song.
The KING. You can feel the emotion and passion of his voice. More please 💕💕😘💕
The King
This lady is pure class... she will listen to the song with her audience and not interrupt every two seconds... and she genuinely enjoys listening to good music... and she's drop-dead gorgous
Yeah as soon I saw her pic, I knew she's not an interrupter lol.
Greatest performance of all time, worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize. 😊🌏
The KING. That is all.
MEMPHISROCKS1, Elvis Aaron Presley is THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE WORLD CROWNED King OF MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT, KING OF VOCALS, STYLE And CHARISMA. The True Monarch for a reason, He started it all. The first of everthing music and entertaining. He Smashed the door down for more artist than any one before him, and opened the flood gates for artist that might not have never been heard. God made him and gifted him to be the greatest, The King of music, it was his destiny. He was not racist he loved and cared about everone. His music transcends time, It is timeless. As John Lennon said ''Before Elvis there was nothing''. Elvis Presley's influance on music and artist of all ages are endless. Too this day his music is as big today it was back when he was still living. He is still earning gold records.The Icon, The legeng, The untouchable, The Gladiator and King of stage. The King of song. The King of style, Elvis Aaron Presley. Greatest of all time. 1935 Untill the end of time.
Awesome performance! 💖😎
Elvis is the King.
Probably the most important song Elvis ever did. This was the big ending to his TV "Comeback" special" in 1968, taped in summer 1968, right after Dr. King and Bobby Kennedy were assassinated. Elvis was pretty pissed off about that. He had a song written just for this. The producers and his manager Colonel Tom [the con artist] Parker didn't want him to do it, afraid of repercussions from the white south etc. Elvis told them where they could go and did it anyway or he'd pull the plug on the show.
PURE MAGIC
This song was everything it still is right for today
SUPER ELVIS
You hear his Gospel and Blues influences so clearly
Thanks very much for reacting to Elvis. You will love Elvis as time goes on. He is verry exciting.
do more of this live 68 special
I grew up listening to Elvis, but only found this performance a couple of years ago. It instantly became my favorite. More passion than I ever saw in his performances.
Ya this good humble talented man,was an angle fr God🙏💕
Hes still the greatest.
ELVIS WAS A VERY SPIRITUAL MAN> RAISED IN "THE ASSEMBLIES OF GOD.
Love your love for Elvis Aaron Presley
TEARS. TEARS OF TRUTH.
This performance was dedicated to Martin Luther King, after he was assassinated.
I think the man just said, 'one nation under GOD, indivisible with liberty and justice for all Americans. 🇺🇸
Agreed, both parts 1&2 of Elvis and the Black Community; it explains a lot.👍👍
define the words black community.
The troll is almost in every elvis Video and always write the same one_sided rubbish about elvis, he probably write down the questions and answers to present them here, to get attention, always the same Procedure 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
Troll how long did it take you to memorize everything? Hahahaha
@@marlon-ih5tc yes, you are a barrel of laughs even though you make absolutely no sense.😊
@@peggypieters661 i did not meant you, so dont cry
@Miaaaa- If I Can Dream is one of my fav Elvis songs. As you go down the rabbit hole of Elvis you will see that he didn't have a bad song. This song was about everyone coming together after the assassinations of JFK and Dr King. Check out Elvis performing live Bridge Over Troubled Water. You will love that one and also anything from 1973 Aloha From Hawaii

This song is one of the most difficult songs I perform in my set - I started practicing this song in 2012 before I sang it in public - then in the summer of 2012 while I was practicing this song ... I blew my vocal cords ... when it happened I knew something was seriously wrong ... I tried to continue to sing this song but my vocal cords were shot ... all I could do was speak in a low voice ... I cried that night ... the next day I tried to sing ... but my vocal cords were ... gone ... I cried for a long time for many days .... so I prayed and decided to wait and pray ... one day, 3 months later I tried to test my voice and I tried to sing an Elvis song ... my voice was still the same, it was awful, I couldn't sing anymore ... I cried for a long time ... I tried again after 6 months ... my voice didn't sound awful this time and I was surprised that I heard an improvement ... so I decided to wait 3 more months without singing ... then after 9 months I tested my voice again ... I sounded way better!!! ... but not the same as before ... so I waited another month, at 10 months I sounded better ... at 11 months my voice was back!!! ... I cried for a long time!!! ... but ... I waited one more month ... then at 12 months after I blew my vocal cords I was able to sing like before!!! I sang for 2 hours!!! I was so happy after that and I cried again ... now my voice is still working well and I still sing and perform Elvis shows whenever I can ... take care!
Elvis invented SWAGGER
I like how you let the entire song play and gave your thoughts afterwards unlike other reaction videos that pause it after every 10 seconds
And on the 8th day God created Elvis
שיר מדהים מלא רגש❤❤❤❤אהבתי את התגובה שלך🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍🫶🫶🫶🫶
That was beautiful
A true masterpiece
❤❤❤ I love seeing Elvis appreciated by young people. He came before my time as well but my grandmother introduced me to him from birth pretty much. 😊 I’m a lifelong fan enjoy the journey.❤
Presley was inspired by the great Martin Luther King 👑 he also dedicated this song to him.. the story is after performing this song Elvis went to his dressing room and broke down....two of the greatest men ever lived.... wouldn't it be nice if everyone were color-blind? Like MLK and Elvis....
elvis had that effect on folks
This one is new to me, thanks for sharing
