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.
Absolutely, Your reaction was real and contagious. You have a warm soul. May God bless you
❤❤❤the king!!! For MLK,❤❤❤❤
My mom, God rest her soul, always said Elvis was proof God had angels onearth
Thank you 👍 Thank you very much 🙏. Elvis didn't write any songs. But he was still The King 👑
This song should be part of our National Anthem!!!❤❤❤
Great reaction!! I love seeing young people discovering just how amazing Elvis Presley is!!
Listen to in the Ghetto. Elvis is the bomb..Ivwas 13 when he died. It never left me..broke everyones heart.
Elvis is the goat!!
This Performance is phenomenal! ELVIS the King of all music! I love to see young people discover ELVIS and his beautiful music! Thank you ! I loooooove your reactions!
Love your reaction. This was a tribute to Martin Luther King. The people running the show didn’t want him to do this but he did it without their permission. ❤
Right on man. Elvis and the black community watch them when you get a chance. TX. Stay well and groovy my friend.
اعظم فنان على مر العصور لم ولن يتكرر الملك بدون منازع
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!
When this song was written it was in the middle of the fight for racial justice. Elivs was right there supporting it. God Bless him!
Your reactions are great! Your genuine excitement through the whole reaction is something I love coming from young people and yours is the best hands down! When you rewind it to hear again is probably my favorite..Thank you young man for making my day better.
You just watched the greatest performance ever recorded.
Yes I did and it was amazing 🤩
Absolutely
Amen
Magical performances Last forever brother!!!👑👍
Beautiful. This is my Fav.
Your reaction is pure joy ❤
Elvis did this song for Rev. Martin Luther King since he had just been killed in elvis's home town. When he was done, he went to his knees and was crying.
Your reaction makes me tear up. He touches people’s souls and one can see why his first name is known all around the world as an icon and a legend. He’s one of a kind and we’ll never see the likes of him again. 😢❤❤❤
I’m so happy that a new generation is learning about the King. There will never be another
Buddy. NOBODY could match ELVIS. NOBODY. Canada
Beautiful singer and gorgeous man. ❤ He is missed still today.
Your reaction is greatly appreciated. Terrific and heart-wrenching performance/song from Elvis. Moar please and (thank you)
Great reaction! Real. Only Elvis ❤
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.
This performance was shortly after MLK was murdered, and it was Elvis's tribute to him and the Civil Rights movement. He was told not to sing it by the producers of the special, but he said F**K that!
שיר מדהים.ביצוע מעולה.מאוד מרגש❤❤❤❤אהבתי את התגובה שלך🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍🫶🫶🫶🫶
I love you watching Elvis and enjoying him as much as I do. He almost seems to be non human he is so awesome.
Elvis had soul.
Good song wauuuu
Love watching your reactions to Elvis. It is so genuine and makes me smile.
Usually I get annoyed when they pause this song but his enthusiasm for it and wanting to hear it again that’s me all the way when watching it LOL
Love your reaction to this song. When I was 14 yrs old. I got my first Elvis record Heart break hotel. I played it over and over. I still have that recording now 80yrs old and I never get bored with any of Elvis music. Seeing your reaction brings back how I felt back then. Keep doing Elvis. I can tell you get it!
I feel so much joy watching you get so much joy watching Elvis. I watch this video a lot
You young man just witnessed greatness. The GOAT
Many could probably write the music but only Elvis could really tell the story! Forever the King 👑 of music....
Yes
willie nelson is also a master at telling stories. 2 goats
He the king of rock and the world god took him home his work was don in this life sing with the angles Sir u and ur love one s clare Ireland gong but never forgotten🙏🙏🙏🙏🦄❤❤❤❤
No one sings like Elvis. Not that there aren't many great vocalists. But the greats have that something no one can get close to.
Best UA-camr/Reactor In The World ❤❤❤
This was a comeback tribute to Martin Luther Jr & Robert Kennedy! No One Has Ever Beat This Man ! 46yr later & still talking about this Icon ❤
Thx for mentioning Kennedy; he is rarely mentioned when it comes to this song; there was so much going on at this time, & that red tie was for the blood shed in Vietnam.
Great reaction! I love that you kept rewinding to catch the words and his passion singing them!
Great Reaction ! You give credit where it is do. He was and is the GOAT
You kept a smile on my face the entire time. Every time you would say go back go back I got so excited your excitement is absolutely contagious you are well on your way to 10,000 subscribers so glad I can be part of it
Sweet One ,find the special and watch the whole thing. Elvis at his best before the Vegas Flashy years. He also wears a balck leather get up that you would be blown away by.
Your genuinely heartfelt reaction to this is one reason I have faith in the future!
I hope we all win!
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.
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.
@@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.
I just noticed that your device autocorrected the words “civil rights” and turned it into “silver rights”. Thought you would want to know.
Thank you for letting me know
@@17tayy. Yeah no prob 17Tayy!
Such a lovely reaction ❤🙏
This man recorded over 700 songs he has sold over 2 Billion records. He is know in every major country in the world. He has sold more gospel then any single artist in the word he is in 5 halls of fame. Roch,pop, rhythm and Blues, gospel and made 31 movies. Watch his beginning struggles during the 50's in a segregated America. It is on youtube. "Elvis and the Black Community" to see what a generous guy he was, watch "Elvis Presley King of Kindness". Thank you and Be blessed.
This song was for MLK, Robert Kennedy's assassination & everything going on @ time including Vietnam; 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. Thank you.
Elvis is the man
… Elvis was the first and the best! ... A millennium singer for eternity ... ✨💎✨🕯 Thank you
I love it when a young person finds the true Elvis. Great reaction.
Glad you enjoyed it
Elvis the King. More please 💕💕💕💕
More is on the way, I’m going down the rabbit hole 🙌
Your beautiful smile said all that needed to be said! Thank you for letting me watch your enjoyment of this fabulous song! Great reaction young man!
Thank you so much!!
@@17tayy. You are so very welcome! Have a great Sunday!
Great reaction! Before autotune and computers he did it better than anybody
So good watching a young fellow enjoy the king.. was fun watching you.
Its a tribute to MLK 🙏💙
Love how you felt him. Elvis will always be KING
My new favorite reaction to this song and I think I've seen all of them lol. Absolutely LOVE how real you are! Thank you so much for sharing this with us ❤️
You have been touched by the magic of Elvis Presley --- Share this your family and friends !
YOU, my young brother, just earned a subscription. Your reaction is HEARTFELT and from YOUR SOUL. THIS, is what I watch reaction videos for!! You are wise beyond your years, keep diving into the music that we, the old farts, re4member so vividly!! Be BLESSED young brother!!!!
His smile is contagious.
You just dont know know how great it is to see this genuine, heartfelt reaction!!!
One of the most genuine reactions to this song that I've seen so far and I like that you backed up so many times so you could really take in the lyrics and his delivery of the song. Thank you for showcasing Elvis and this wonderful, classic song.
That was the best reaction I've ever seen Tayy you have a Beautiful smile wow unbelievable ty 🐐🐐
Your welcome 🤗 thank you
Greatest entertainer and performer! The King!
It was fun watching you connect with Elvis, his message on Civil Rights, and this song. Elvis would be so happy that young adults decades after his death would still appreciate him and find meaning in what he sang/felt. Thanks.
If I Can Dream always brings tears to my eyes, and your joy and exuberant reaction to the song and how Elvis sung it doubled them but you also made me smile inside my heart. Thank you for that 🙂
This man has lasted through a few generations, now a few more, he will go on and on for centuries to come, this is one of his best, he has so many bests❤❤
welcome to the family
Love the joy on your face. Welcome to the Elvis rabbit 🕳. Enjoy....so great to see the younger generations discovering Elvis and keeping him alive
🤘🏾
Loved, loved, loved your honest, genuine reaction.
Glad you enjoyed
Yep, had to subscribe to your channel just from your reaction. Yes, he was the best. ❤
If you want to see him play a guitar look up his 68 comeback special version of GUITAR MAN. It might list it as TROUBLE/GUITAR MAN because he sang a few bars of Trouble then it merges with Guitar Man.
It's phenomenal, it's all. There's the reason they call him The King, he's the biggest of all time. He's got that hard-to-describe magic. No wonder he had people spellbound.
❤
More ELVIS please. Love him so much ❤ 💗 💓 💕 💖
It was a tribute to MLK 🙏💙 that is the best reaction I've ever seen Tayy you have a beautiful smile that lights up the screen I'm smiling because of that big beautiful smile of yours thank you so much you are a special young man my favorite reactor take care keep the videos coming ty what a beautiful young guy you are WOW 🐐🙏👍
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.

❤️❤️❤️
I LOVE your reaction!!!!!!! Elvis was singing from his heart and I love too!!!!!
Thank you 😊
You know, I've been a huge Elvis Presley fan since I was a kid. An I don't realize how amazing, beautiful of a singer he was until I see reactions like this from people who have never really been a fan. I catch myself in awe of his vocal talent through people like you. You give me a whole new perspective of Elvis' voice and talent as a singer. Reactions from people like yourself has made me appreciate and love his music so much more. Thank you so much!!!
I love your reaction!!!!! Elvis was a good man and I loved him too.
I remember this performance as a child. When he was done the room was silent we just looked at each other 68 was a tough year we lost MLK RFK and the vietnam war was full blown we truly needed this.
Thx for mentioning Kennedy; he is rarely mentioned when it comes to this song; there was so much going on at this time, & that red tie was for the blood shed in Vietnam.
Great reaction best I've seen in a long time Elvis was the Goat 🐐
Thank you 🙏
i like the way this guy loves this great artist..i can feel his emotions..Elvis will be always the best performer and the best rock n roll men in the history
Elvis Presley 🙏🏾🇧🇷❤️
Definitely made it to the end, my friend, and I love your reaction man. Power to ya.
Dedicated to Dr king bro and things that happened in the early and late60s💪🏼🙏🏽

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🙏🏾 ❤️🙏🏻

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 ,!
Thank you & I love you more 😊❤️🔥
I love that you “get Elvis”, it is great seeing the younger generation appreciating Elvis. Your smile is contagious.
Great reaction tyvm. More Elvis please. I ENJOYED this reaction very much
Thank you & yes I will be doing more Elvis 🙌
❤❤
I love your reaction lolol All the times you scrolled back and listened several times over and over ( I had to chuckle) Love your excitement :)
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.
Awesome reaction bro 👍👍 If you like what you have seen of Elvis so far you’ll love the documentary called “ Elvis and the Black community “ 👍👍
When this song came out dr Murther Luther was murder and Elvis wrote it and sang it 68 comeback Elvis had Respect for Murther Luther king !!!! AND young man you keep doing a great job reviewing the songs I applaud you
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.
This is the best reaction to this performance ever. The smile it brought to your face made me smile I always have that reaction when I listen to Elvis it's nice to see someone else become a fan.
Love this!
If that didn't touch your very soul, ya may wanna get it checked out it just might be missing 💥. He sing this for MLK and JFK. Elvis was the type of person that needed no music to sang, it needed him! 💕
and Robert Kennedy's assassination -- also Vietnam; the red tie was for the blood shed in Vietnam -- thx for mentioning our Pres.
@@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 Vietnam & red tie as not literally mentioned in words in the song but due to the discussion between Binder & Elvis & what was going on - it was not literally put into the words of the song -- just due to talks between the 2 & Elvis' thoughts & feelings @ time -- & Binder mentions it in 1 of the videos & it was Bill Belew who went shopping for the tie
@@carolhayar3037 I said research! Nothing about the song it's self. You read into it as you wish! Your done here before I report you to @TeamUA-cam , enough is enough!
@@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…”
