    Your reaction is the best thing ive seen on any reaction video! You made me smile so much that i am not gonna lie, i paused and went back multiple times reacting to ur reactions.. you are so pure and real and a joy to watch. Keep it up bc your positive vibe is palpable thru ur videos and that is not something that can be taught or learned .. its just innate to those who have it and trust me, u got it.

    Elvis was devastated when MLK was assassinated in 1968, as well as Bobby Kennedy. He cried while describing MLK and what he meant to him. This song is a song about the “ I Have A Dream” speech where millions watched MLK give the speech. Elvis is wearing a red scarf 🧣 representing the blood being spilled over the 60s. Elvis moved America towards a cultural revolution supported by millions culminating in the Civil Rights Act of 1965. He is now pouring out his heart to his audience which was watched by millions at his 68 Comeback Special. This was the closing song!

    I'm so glad you watch till the end to see that Mike Trout moment. Man he gave it everything. And he was out of breath and exhausted. Apparently went behind stage and just found a room and curled up in a ball and cried. Doctor Martin Luther King got assassinated not long before that but more importantly not very far from where he lived in Memphis. And he was already a fan and that just killed him. It decimated him.

    Elvis Presley was a master of interpreting the written word. Nobody can orate it like Elvis.❤ Elvis had that song written for him so he can deliver his message after Dr. Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy were shot. Elvis literally performed a protest song supporting Dr. Martin Luther King during the race riots on NBC television. NBC Studios and sponsors demanded that Elvis end his show with a Christmas song. Elvis refused, even though he was a devout Christian.
    Elvis wanted to use his platform to send a message -- he was a very very strong supporter of Civil Rights and you can literally see some of the checks that he wrote to black organizations like the NAACP during the 1960s at Graceland today.
    Elvis was an integrator at a very very dangerous time in the nation's history and he was so good at it that even today people that believe in unity love Elvis.

    • @hookedonreactions7649
      @hookedonreactions7649 Рік тому

      The rumor that Elvis said “The only thing a [ethnic slur] can do for me is shine my shoes and buy my records” was published by Sepia Magazine, a tabloid aimed at black readers but owned by a white man in 1957. Jet debunked it quickly, but apparently a lot of readers didn’t get to the part where it was false because the article wound up making it worse.
      This song was written specifically for him for this occasion and according to the lyricist, most of the words came Presley. The man who wrote the music actually removed his name from the song so Elvis could record it. Conflicting publishing rights were a problem. Everyone involved felt so strongly about this and you can hear it in his voice.

    • @depper
      @depper Рік тому +2

      @@hookedonreactions7649 Yes the problem was SEPIA Magazine. They spread a complete lie that was easily debunked by JET Magazine who realized that Elvis had NEVER EVEN BEEN TO BOSTON, the city Sepia states Elvis made the comment. SEPIA was a white owned magazine for black people with political motives not always to the benefit of the black community.

    That was The MOST BEAUTIFUL Reaction I’ve ever seen!!
    You probably already know, Elvis was so Hurt by Dr. MLK, Jr.s Death and was known to recite the last few paragraphs of Dr. King’s, “I Have a Dream” Speech, he is said to have loved it.
    Elvis was a Huge advocate for The Civil Rights Movement!!
    GOD BLESS YOU!! You have a Truly Beautiful Heart🙏🏾 ❤️🙏🏻

      It also encompassed Robert Kennedy's assassination & everything going on @ time; producer-director Steve Binder & Elvis had a long discussion about all of this & Binder asked Walter Earl Brown to compose something referencing the times & Elvis' thoughts, basing it loosely on King's speech. The red tie was for the blood shed in Vietnam.

    Tayy allot of us old dogs are still living and feeling the same way today. Elvis was a great human being besides talented. He was a Capricorn. Jan 8. We call it grounded. He loved helping the downtrodden. I don't know how many cars he gave out but it was amazing. He truly enjoyed making people happy. Thank you again sweetheart ! Love ya . . Keep rockin ,!

    Elvis wasn't named 'greatest songwriter of all time' he didn't write any songs. I often wonder if it was possibly b/c anything and every lyric, word he used would have been examined (who's he writing about, what does that line mean, etc..maybe it would have been too personal for him??). He read music, played many intruments, self taught by ear. ELVIS is the most beloved, loved successful male solo artists in history, like ever...surpassing The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Michael Jackson and the man died in 1977. His skyrocket shot to fame (I mean they JUST did a movie about him with Oscar Grammy nominations and off the chart sales) was something no one in history had ever experienced. He's one of a kind....a true pioneer and still loved like no other artist today.

      Elvis did not write this song. Producer Steve Binder & Elvis watched Robert Kennedy's assassination on the TV news when it happened; Binder & Elvis talked until 4 a.m. about all the goings on in the world, Elvis expressed his feelings & thoughts & Binder had Walter Earl Brown compose a song based on what Elvis expressed & loosely based on King's speech; & that red tie was for the blood shed in Vietnam.

      @@carolhayar3037 Never seen mention of Vietnam war. Just JFK & MLK. And the tie Elvis wore for this had NOTHING to do with blood shed. Unless it was MLK or JFK. So relax and read some history. My family was in every military service there is or was. So the tie he wore had NOTHING to do with the song what-so-ever. I thought I was wrong but I looked and looked and there's nothing, so please use Google and find that yourself about the tie and post a link okay?. Have a good day. 😂

      @@asherasspirit7727 Interview(s) with Steve Binder, director of Elvis Presley's '68 Comeback Special: “The finale features an emotional Presley singing “If I Can Dream,” a moving piece written for the show that served as a response to the tumult of 1968, when the Vietnam War served as the backdrop for the assassinations of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy.” “It was a very tumultuous year. [Robert F.] Kennedy was assassinated. Martin Luther King was assassinated,” Steve Binder told the crowd at an exclusive screening and Q&A session at The Paley Center for Media. “I was with Elvis at my office when Bobby Kennedy was assassinated at the Ambassador Hotel. We watched it live on television.” “One night when we were rehearsing, the television set was on the other room and all of a sudden there was this moment of silence. And I said, 'I think Bobby Kennedy's just been shot'. We spent the whole night basically talking about the Kennedy assassination, of both Bobby and John.” “It was Elvis’ reaction to the news of Kennedy’s assassination that lead to the creation of the song "If I Can Dream," a tribute song to King, featuring direct quotes from the Civil Rights leader. After seeing the news about Kennedy's death on TV, Elvis spent an entire night with the show's director, Steve Binder, and his friends, talking about the assassinations and Elvis' wishes for the world.” “On this day in 1968, Elvis’s heartfelt reaction to the assassinations of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. inspired the ’68' Comeback special & Steve Binder aske songwriter Earl brown to compose a song about Elvis’s feelings…”
