There will NEVER be another ELVIS PRESLEY
Elvis. The only artist to be inducted into the Hall of Fames for Rock N Roll, Country and Gospel. He always gave 110% of himself and never just “phoned it in”. A very humble man who didn’t care for being called the “King”.
Hi my friend. You forgot the rhythm and blue and rockabilly Hall of Fame. Actually there’s a whole list of others that doesn’t include music that he has been inducted him. Interesting Huh?😊
As of this year Dolly is in all three of those as well.
He is also in the Pop Hall of Fame total 6.
ELVIS was inducted into 5 MUSIC HALL OF FAMES!
Elvis was also inducted into the Rhythm and Blues Hall of Fame.
Hello, I am 77 years old and Elvis fan for ever, what i would like to say is, How it warm my hearth to see some of the young Generation discovering Elvis and now you know why we are Elvis fan for ever, I do no want to compare Elvis to anyone, lot of Great signers out there who have perhaps the same fans base with the same passion for their idols that we have for Elvis, Again I really really enjoy and bring me to tears to see you discovering Elvis,, Elvis favorite Music is Gosple Music, the one who did all nigh Jamming with Elvis will tell you that it will always end up in Gospel Music, Thank you
Elvis had such a caring and loving heart.. leaves you speachless
Elvis was the most photographed person in the world when they had cameras.
Elvis truly the King of Rock, which is shown by a number of his outstanding achievements. It is estimated that Elvis has sold more than 1 billion record units worldwide, more than anyone in the record industry’s history. In America alone, Elvis has more than 140 different albums that have been certified gold, platinum, or multi-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Elvis has also had 149 songs to appear on the Billboard’s Hot 100 Pop Chart in America. Of these, 114 were in the top forty, 40 were in the top ten, and 18 were number one. Internationally, Elvis is no less famous. This is quite a feat considering that he never recorded his songs in other languages and, except for five shows in Canada, he did not perform in concert outside the United States. Despite all of this, Elvis is known worldwide.
This and In the Ghetto change the minds of people who think Elvis was just a Las Vegas lounge entertainer!
THIS is why we called him the King back then ,because he was our King of Kindness !He cared about people,he was a Great Humanitarian !
Elvis was a very sensitive man and took everything to heart. ELVIS is coming back thru his songs to bring us all together.
I’m crying like a baby now, that’s how emotional this song is and how great of a singer and a person Elvis Presley was.
He had this written for him. He was on a 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 only performed it live one other time I believe.
That is a very powerful meaningful inspirational song one of his best songs.
He made sure there was no audience. He wanted it pure and no screaming girls
Just wanted it pure
Elvis is one of the best singers that has ever lived. He was also a fabulous entertainer. There is a reason he is called "The King". He had a great voice & could sing anything whether it was ballads, gospel or rock. This song "If I Can Dream" was a tribute to Martin Luther King after his assassination.
He also arranged his own stuff and was incredibly talented at it, and I don't think that gets mentioned enough.
Last night I watched the audition concert from Hawaii 1070 where he was doing a charity concert for Cancer he didnt have a specific amont to charge the audience for the rehearsal concter ,only asked people to give what they could,by the end of the show Elvis told the audience that the goal of his concert was 25 thousand that night of just the rehearsal they received 75 thousand, even before the real concert, when he did the real concert he bought his own ticket for 1000 dollars, This is just a fraction of his generosity, you never see this in famous singers nowadays ,thats for sure,Godbless Elvis❤👑👑👑👑👑❤
Someone said everybody was crying at end of this song! SO MUCH EMOTION! ANOTHER REASON HE IS THE KING OF ROCK! RIP ELVIS ❤❤❤
That performance, to me, is unparalleled. Elvis literally sings his soul out, pleading for racial equality. So beautiful and so powerful!
I am positive that I've seen this performance well over a hundred times, and it never fails to give me goosebumps and I just sink into it every time. And as a musician and a singer as well, I can tell you that it is so difficult to express that much real emotion while you are singing because once you cross a certain line with your emotion, it literally makes it difficult physically to sing.
Think about when you get emotional and it suddenly feels like there is a big lump in your throat and your sinuses and your eyes start tearing up. So it is a perfect marriage of great songwriting and fantastic arrangement and just an astonishing emotional performance.
Very well phrased and said.
An album was made of the 68 Special. Written specifically for Elvis as the final song for the special. Elvis was distraught at the assassinations of MLK and RFK and the producers wanted a song that would reflect Elvis’s feelings. And they sure did it! The song is iconic. Elvis sang this beautiful song with soul and passion.
Another reactor said “when I hear Elvis, everyone else just goes down a little.”
My Favorite Elvis song. My all time favorite artist!
This song, written more than 50 years ago is even more relevant today. Elvis was & still is the King.
The song was Elvis's tribute to MLK. It was released in 1968.
And that my friend is why Elvis is THE KING!
This has to be one of the best if not the best performance ever captured on film.
This song should be the national anthem of every single country in the world ❤
💙😇ELVIS😇💙
Elvis sang this song on a tv special in 1968. It was written especially for him for this special. Elvis was upset about the assassinations of MLK and RFK earlier in 68.
The producers and his handlers did not want him to sing this, but Elvis felt strongly about the subject matter.
The producers did want him to sing it, in fact, they called in a writer to do so. It was Parker, his manager, that didn’t want him to sing it. There’s a documentary on Paramount+ called Reinventing Elvis on this special.
Amazing performance ❤❤❤😮😮😮😮
You can hear his Gospel and Blues influences so clearly.
Any song from that 68 comeback special is awesome!!!
The King Elvis.Powerful and raw .love Elvis 👍✌️☘️🍀😍🤩🤟👌🤘🖐️👋💋💋
El Rey por siempre y más ❤
They will never be a kind and loving Man like Elivs the king even today when i here thim sing i fee he is still with us Singwith the Angles with ur loves ones from clare Ireland ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏
I’m not crying, you are.
Saw this the first time it aired on national TV, the 68 comeback special was a big deal back then and it revived Elvis' career big time after so many formula movies the colonel forced him into. Elvis was happiest on stage and loved his fans, the famous well known video of him doing suspicious minds in his hotel casino show when he goes out into the audience and kisses like 30 women kinda shows it. Elvis was once quoted as saying after being warned the girls would tear the shirt off his back "if they want the shirt off my back let them have it, theyre the ones that put it there"
This song and maybe, more importantly, the night on which He sang it was so significant to the American civil rights movement, MLK having been assassinated earlier that year and troubles still prevalent in the streets the producers of the show told Him NOT to sing this song but He did it anyway!
Your reaction was beautiful. Words cannot do justice for that incredible, incendiary performance by arguably the single most important performer of all time.
Elvis was a perfect person, he had the looks, the talent, the voice .. he was everything
you gave such a good comment.. pure feelings.. thank you
The most powerful song…..ever…..I get emotional every time I hear it.
This song is extremely beautiful & moving. Elvis is GOAT.
This voice is not normal. Best ever. Thank God for ELVIS 🙏👑👑
Elvis soul , spirit and voice touching magically through the screen. I am not sure if he knew how big is the impact he has on millions of people through many generations. G.O.A.T..
Just finished watching your reaction to if I can dream if you can try to watch how great thou Art Grand Rapids 1977 that is the last live. Filmed concert of Elvis he would be dead two months later the reason I’m asking you to react to it was because I remember that day some 5060 years ago seeing him do that on my TV set and has a very young teenager. It move me like I had seen before. It was like Elvis‘s voice touched me with the hand of God. Little did I know I would lose my hero two months after the viewing of the TV special. I was so blessed to have seen them in concert, and I’ve loved him all of my life, the definition of a hero is a person who changes your life for the better, or change the lives of those for the better well, he certainly changed my life he was One of life‘s greatest blessings. Thank you for sharing Elvis, and for appreciating his genius, his humanity, his kindness, and his gracious loving heart God bless you young man.
the look on your face at 5:27 says it ALL!!
I cannot stop listening to this song. I was a young person when this special was televised, but I never heard this song. It makes me angry that it was not broadcast everywhere. Amazing performance.
That's the best reaction I've seen. There are many great singers but I can't think of one person who has a voice and presence as he does. He's called the King & will remain the King.
He's called the king for a reason
1:50 You don't see it listed because the only time it was ever performed was during that 1968 television performance. And it was a tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, who had been assassinated not long before, and not far away from where he live at Graceland. He was devastated by it and insisted on doing this as the finale of the show rather than the Christmas song that his asshole manager and some of the other producers were insisting he do. And it's gone down in history as one of his greatest performances. It's just stunning.
The album he released after the 1968 Comeback Special was titled Elvis From Memphis and it's a LEGENDARY album
ACES MY BROTHER...ACES!! 🤜🤛🙏
The passion in his voice was amazing
There is a very good reason Elvis was given the position of King. He had everything a good King should have!!
This was filmed in June 1968 for the Come Back Special. It was right after MLK was killed and while they were rehearsing the show, Robert Kennedy was killed. It was written while they were rehearsing for the show.
Make sure you see the new Elvis movie with Austin Butler ... it's glorious ... it explains so much !
It was reported Elvis cried like a child after Martin Luther King's murder. 'If I Can Dream' is in reference to MLK's famous 'I Have A Dream' speech. He was known to wear a dark red neckerchief to signify spilled blood in remembrance of our fallen during the Vietnam war. Elvis wore a white outfit resembling a reverend suit and the red neckerchief to pay homage for both Dr Martin Luther King and assassinated civil rights supporter Senator Robert F Kennedy. Other than when RFK's brother (President John Kennedy) was killed, the world was in mourning like I had never seen before or since. Elvis sang what we felt. Senator Bobby Kennedy announced the death of Martin Luther King in what is one of the most memorable speeches in American history. Please watch: "Robert F Kennedy Announcing The Death Of Martin Luther King - A Great Speech"
Elvis said after this show he would never sing another song again he didn't believe in.
So he never sang this song again. So he didn't believe in this song?
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 That’s not my take of his statement. I think what was meant he had sung meaningless songs like Hound Dog, Jailhouse Rock, etc. After a meaningful song like “If I Can Dream” he would rather, from then on, sing songs that had meaning to him and to others. But he couldn’t endure the emotional hurt of performing this particular song again
@@Xcris_crosX DIRECT ELVIS QUOTE. think what you want even believe in the invisible army if you like. I'm never going to sing another song I don't believe in. I'm never going to make another picture I don't believe in.” - Elvis Presley quotes from ..
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 Okaayyy... yeah🙄 and😏 so?😒 You already explained that and asked a question. I answered
@@Xcris_crosX you did not answer it factually, you answered it with what you would like to believe.
I love Elvis and still feel emotional every time I hear him sing. I remember the day he died - it was soul crushing. RIP and bless Lisa Marie who has joined him and his grandson.
This is one of the greatest live performances ever !! EVER !! Love your reaction ! It’s nice to see young people realizing why till this day he is and always will be the king !! I was 12 years old wen my sister Lorraine took me to see Elvis live in 1974 ! 5 rows from the stage ! Something I will never forget ! Also the first two seen a woman topples ! They were throwing their clothes on the stage ! My sister tried to cover my eyes but I wasn’t letting that happen ! 😂😂😂
Elvis kicks butt in Every song he sings , & No ONE can beat the whole ENTERTAINMENT factor . I'V seen him in concert several times . Trust Me , when I say that , there is No ONE better than E in concert . that's the way it Is , & Always will be . Elvis is an ENTITY all his own . Diane from chicago , 7 / 9 /2023 . I love , appreciate , respect , & Miss this man .
This song was written in 1968 for him to perform for this special as a tribute to Dr. King. Dr. King and Robert Kennedy earlier that year: Gladys was is mother’s name so the company was named after her. I remember wing 10 and watching this in 1968 with my mother. I get chills every time I watch this performance. It’s extremely powerful and he meant every word!
The king.
I see how much you enjoy the passion Elvis sings with. If you do then you’ll want to check out “What Now My Love “, but be sure it’s from the Aloha From Hawaii rehearsal show. It was a dress performance the night before the television show was done. Please check it out. You won’t be disappointed!
This song still brings tears. I love it.
What Now My Love is pretty powerful from Aloha In Hawaii 1973.
Another one of my absolute favorites is Bridge over Troubled Waters, I can watch his do that one a millon times!❤❤❤❤
My 14 year old is obsessed with Elvis. She saw the movie and she just fell in love with his music.
Than you. Oh yeah I've connected, watched this many times, I have the DVD too. Prescious concert. Dear dear song thx for your great kind reactions. In Tupelo Mississippi when he was growing up he went to a gospel black and white church. He loved all people. I miss him so much. God Bless you from Texas . Honor and Respect to our King 👑🌹🎶🎵
I absolutely LOVE watching you become so emotional when you listen to Elvis songs. Thank you!
brings me to tears everytime i hear this song
Please play where no one’stands alone by Elvis and Lisa Marie .❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Vonnie ❤
Bring all the expectations…
Next reaction needs to be Bridge Over Troubled Water.
And that is why he will be the KING forever and ever ❤ ♥ 🥰
3:25 GLAD-iss, like the female name Gladys, which was his mother's name.
Beautiful! Passion! Good always overpowers evil!
You are saying and looking with exactly the same as my reaction to Elvis song . He lived in my era and this song is unbelievably beautiful and moving!
I don't think there's a Elvis movie I haven't seen or album I've owned! I'm 69 and Loved watching and hearing Elvis❤️❤️❤️. Great reaction
I could watch this one performance every day for the rest of my life and still be mesmerized by his greatness every time. RIP Elvis Presley…The King of Music.
The KING of ROCK and ROLL was inducted into 5 MUSIC HALL OF FAMES, recorded almost 800 songs, stared in 31 movies, sold over 8 Billion records, and took time out in 1958; while at the heighth of his career to go into the Army when he was drafted! Can anyone tell me another entertainer that would have gone into the Army at the heighth of his success? He was stationed in Germany, where he met Priscilla, by the way! NEVER THOUGHT SHE WAS RIGHT FOR HIM! He received so many, many accolades and awards that the Encyclopedia Brittanica could NOT hold them all! lol, ha, ha! I know ALL of these things because I was alive from the very beginning of his career until his horrible, untimely death! He was and still is the GOAT! I suggest that you go back to the very beginning of his precious life...dive deep down into the ELVIS rabbit hole! Learn about the KING of ROCK and ROLL, who not only revolutionized MUSIC, but he revolutionized SOCIETY! This man changed it ALL! PLEASE do him the service of finding out about his LIFE and MUSIC! I will start you off...He was born in Tupelo, Mississippi and lived there until he was 14, when his family moved to Memphis, Tennessee to find work! He grew up very poverty striken. That is why he could sing "In The Ghetto", with such passion, because he grew up in a ghetto! A ghetto can be anywhere...and he experienced it in Tupelo! Things did not improve in Memphis, where he lived in the projects! HOWEVER, I have only given you a tidbit of his life; you must NOW DIVE deep into that rabbit hole called ELVIS PRESLEY! It is worth every bit of research that you can do! After all, this is the KING of ROCK and ROLL that we are talking about! GOOD LUCK!!! I truely enjoyed your reaction to this song, but there are 788 before this! That was just a guess, so all of you people that will jump on me and say it was a different number, I was just being cute...but it is close, lol, lol, ha, ha....HE WAS SPECTACULAR and a MASTERPIECE of a man! After all of these years, I have yet to experience anything that comes close to the musician, the singer, the dancer, the charismatic man, and the unbelievable humanitarian that the KING of ROCK and ROLL, ELVIS PRESLEY was! He was, is, and always will be the KING of music, as we know it TODAY!!!
Really enjoyed your heartfelt reaction. It is a very emotional song..... for him and everyone listening. I remember the day he died and my regret for never having seen him live. But he lives on in my heart.
Elvis influenced every rock and roll band that ever followed after him, every single one.
bullshit!
Very emotional performance ,but what else would you expect from The King.
TRYING TO GET TO YOU from this 68 special will blow your socks off. Guaranteed or I'll give you your money back! 🤝
Como o Elvis ficou conhecido como o rei do rock and roll muigos se surpreendem ao ouvir performances como esta...mas quem conhece algumas das 700 musicas gravadas por Elvis ja conhece o seu potencial...voz maravilhosa, controle total, alma e emocao totais...Elvis eh o maior cantor de todos os tempos e continuara sendo, se deixarem...pq pelo sucesdo a teve e ainda tdm, et pra ser tocafo e homenageado muito mais I love this man
Powerful and beautiful! Even though he was called the king, I don't think he got credit for his vocal range. Thanks.
Definately go listen to In the Getto live. Some info... Did you know Whitney Houston's mom was one of his back up singers during early years and his drummer became Neil Diamond's drummer.
did you know Cissy worked with Van Morrison first? Well before Elvis started using black artists.
You have to react to Elvis' In The Ghetto PLEASE!!!
i wish i can hear this for the first time again, because i had the same reaction you did. i always grew up with the "elvis has left the building" Las Vegas persona, but growing up hearing more of his music for myself made me realize i never knew that he could actually sing.... like SING!
and in my opinion Elvis Presley is undoubtedly the greatest live entertainer/performer of the century
The King of Kings in the world of music. Thank you for keeping his memory and music alive.
You have my full support.
One of my favorite songs. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and reaction. Love ❤ Elvis forever ♥
I love watching reaction videos. I was a lucky kid. My granddaddy played bass fiddle guitar and mandolin for bands that came to our town. Stevie wonder, ray Charles , bob segar ect.. my mom loved queen, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, my grandmother loved Dolly, Reba, randy Travis, Kenny Rodgers. Country music. So I grew up listening and loving all kinds of music. My granddaddy always said if you love music you can appreciate a great song and voice no matter the genre. So growing up I listened to music popular while I was growing up. MJ, prince, Madonna, Cindy lauper, then csme Nirvana, Pearl Jam ect. However I listened to my granddaddy music my moms music grandmas music. I loved it all. So I love that people are going back and listen to music they have missed. I love when I get to hear something new. It’s getting rare for me. Cuz I was exposed so much already. But love watching others listen to the best of music.
This is one of my favorite Elvis songs. This and "Love Me" are my top 2. "Trying to get to you" is also a great one. Elvis gave everything he had on that stage, you can see how spent he is at the end. Great reaction.
I love all 3 of these too!!! Trying To Get To You is one of my karaoke go to songs
Out of all the 39 #1 hits Elvis had, the only Grammys he ever won were for his four Gospel albums. Check those songs out! 🙏👍😁❤️
He Also Won a Grammy for Lifetime Achievement !!
This is what I personally consider Elvis's greatest song performance..What many people don't realize is that Elvis wanted to do this song in honor and remembrance of Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King who were assassinated earlier in the year.
Please OH PLEASE react to ‘If I can Dream - Celine Dion and (hologram) Elvis’ singing together!
Celine suffers from what is known as ‘Stiff person syndrome’(autoimmune neurological disorder) which is incurable.
So two music moguls in one, singing a POWERFUL message is amazing on its own.
This TV special was his comeback to singing after stopping tours for 7 years to act in films. His entire output during that time period after he came back from serving in the Army until the 1968 special consisted of soundtrack albums
Greatest live performance in history
Awesome
SalvoG, again your reaction (emotions) were evident on your face. You were taking in the words, processing the emotions and watching the most wonderful man deliver a heartfelt song from HIS heart. Elvis was truly troubled by all the unrest in 1968. MLK was killed in his hometown not far from Graceland in April and during the filming of this TV special, RFK was killed in June 1968. This song was his way of expressing his sorrow during those troubling times. I REALLY hope you continue to research Elvis, he truly is an American treasure!
Nie sztuka wypuścić na scenę grupę tancerzy i skacząc wśród nich zaśpiewać z playback, ale tak potężnym i różnobarwnym głosem jak Elvis zinterpretować utwór, który powali i rozbroi człowieka, a swoją charyzma przykuwa do siebie, że nie można oderwać wzroku, jak powiedział sławny śpiewak operowy: Elvis zaśpiewa wszystko, ale ja nie zaśpiewam roca, i to jest prawda, tylko fenomen tak śpiewa Elvis , KING ❤❤❤❤❤
Live performance of him. Love your reaction. More Elvis 💕💕💕💕
No joke. This is my all time favorite performances I’ve ever seen.
