    He was the consummate professional. No matter what, he gave every show, every song, every movie, & every fan everything he had to give, every single time. He loved & appreciated his fans, & never wanted to disappoint us by giving anything less than his very best.

    Thank you! That has become my favorite Elvis song because of the heart and soul he put in it as well as the message. With all that it also is special because Elvis insisted he was going to sing that song and overcame higher powers that wanted him to sing something otherwise. I saw him at Norfolk Scope in 1975, on July 20, and may I say he was AMAZING! I won $20 from a high school friend that bet me he would not sell out before Jethro Tull. Elvis sold out in a couple hours and added another night concert and that sold out as well. Tull never did sell out. If only I would have betted more but then again I did not even have the 20$. Glad I won the bet. Thanks for your love for Elvis! Love you both!

    This is the legendary live performance that was intended for the close of the special. This was the only time the song was performed in front of an audience. Despite how amazing this performance was, Elvis was not satisfied with it and came back later to perform the song live in the studio without an audience and while wearing the famed white suit, the version you've already reacted to that actually appeared on the show...then he never performed the song again. As a result, this live version remained unreleased for many years. It is a testament to how much Elvis wanted this song to have an impact on the viewers of the TV special to know that he left this performance "in the can" as they say.

    😃My sons all time favourite Elvis song it was a tribute to MLK sadly we all now what happend to that wonderful man it hurt Elvis so deeply he had this song written for him by a songwriter friend of his he told him what he wanted it to be about and the rest is history it also hurt Elvis so much because it happened in his home town of Memphis he was really saddened by MLK death as you can tell by the way he sings the song great reaction guys as always ❤️from Denise in England 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👑🙏💔XX

    What's so amazing is the song was written by a man who had never wrote a song before in his life. It was a last minute addition to the 68 special. Colonel Parker wanted it to end with a Christmas song. Elvis had other plans.

    Elvis closed the '68 special with If I Can Dream wearing a white suit. This version is Elvis wearing black leather. He recorded a couple of versions for this special. If you listen carefully both versions are slightly different. In my opinion the greatest message song of all time. I like your reaction and the excitement this song and performance generates. No other artist can follow a performance like this. I agree with everything you both said. Let me say you have great taste in music.

    Great reaction guys and yall speaking facts. As good as this was, it's audio is overdubbed from I believe one of the recent concerts with the Royal Philharmonic. Yes this is the only time he did this song in front of a live audience, and the original sound is so good. He then decided he wanted to do it on the production stage that he opened the Special with. He did so many takes of that song in the white suit...don't know how his voice held up. THE GOAT. PEACE!

    Absolutely love the black leather version of if I Can Dream, such a powerful song and really only elvis could ever do the song any justice.
    Quite a long segment in the show but would be worth reviewing the full gospel section from the 68 comeback special.
    Great reaction again..
    Elvis was born in Tupelo Misissippi.

    @timcarr6401 4 роки тому

    Elvis was lip synching this one --but he did it live in the white suit. The London Philharmonic Orchestra is backing him up long after his death.
