No I!!I Have a Dream by Elvis Presley written weeks after dr. King's assassination
Dunno if anyone gives a damn but if you are bored like me atm then you can stream pretty much all of the latest movies on instaflixxer. Have been watching with my gf for the last few months xD
@Terry Christian Yea, been watching on instaflixxer for years myself :)
It's called if I can dream not I have a dream
Elvis grew up in Tupelo in a shotgun house dirt poor. When they moved to memphis they lived in 'project' housing so he knew what it was like to be poor.
Exactly. He was a true rags to riches story which makes him that much better. He was a very humble "real" and down to earth human being
He used his name to bring the song to the people. He didn't have to do it but he did it! Respect!
He grew up in abject poverty & he had it very rough. His dad was in jail for awhile. But he never forgot & was so very generous to people in need. Almost to a fault. He would give stuff away all the time.
It's sad to think 50 years later and this song is still relevant today he didn't have to do this song but he felt it needed to be said he grew up in poverty Elvis the Goat just awesome thank yoh both stay safe 😷✌
Who could "paint", "a play by play", "picture" of poverty 🤔 around the world in Just 2 minutes...Only The King; Elvis...The performance, Elvis' emotion, the message, the tears 😢running down his face; bro, it deserves an 11💯
He sings song that tells stories about life. He feels every words that he sings and makes us feels the songs too. That is a Gift.
Yes he,was born in the ghetto and grew up dirt poor so thats why he knew what he was singing from his, heart, Thank you guys god bless you ❤👑 of music ❤ 💯🙏 amen,🤒🤕 please stay healthy and safe.☝👍🎸🎤🎼🎶💯🇵🇷⭐
I think this is one of his most powerful and socially conscious songs.
What an achievement he didnt write it anyways
He didn't write it, but what a wonderful choice of material.
Yes it is still. thank you
The greatest of all time 👑❤🙏
When in Vegas Elvis performed for 2 months a year. January and August. 2 shows a night. A dinner show and a midnight show.
Elvis’ 2020 Comeback Special...😊👍
He never will be gone for real
He was very poor ,no water or electricity , his twin died. He was asked not to do this song but he went ahead anyway.
Beautiful, powerful and emotional song! ELVIS the king of music forever! Like your reactions! Thank you guys!
Elvis forever our King. Sad that so many of his songs are still so relevant today l. Will there ever be an end to poverty, racism and violence against innocent people? Elvis' old songs should be re-released with proceeds being donated today's causes. People need to hear his timeless message. Thanks guys for sharing this old GOAT's music. You help keep him alive.
When Mac Davis was 5 or 6 years old, Nashville songwriter couldn't understand why one of his best friends had to live in a bad part of town. He remembered that friend as he wrote "In the Ghetto," which Elvis Presley turned into a chart-topping hit in 1969. Davis wrote, "In the Ghetto" with Bart Herbison. Davis said it's kind of a convoluted story, but it's a true story.He had been trying to write a song called "The Vicious Circle" for ages. . The word "ghetto" was just becoming popular to describe the parts of urban areas where poor people were living and couldn't get out. They were stuck there, and everybody took off to the suburbs.
Davis grew up with a little kid whose father worked with his father and he was a black kid. they were friends, 5 or 6 years old. Davis remembers him being one of his best friends. But he lived in a part of town, and Davis couldn't figure out why they had to live where they lived, and he got to live where he lived. The Davis family didn't have a lot of money, but they didn't have broken bottles every six inches. It was a dirt street ghetto where he lived. That is where the song is inspired from
Elvis indeed grew up dirt poor. He didn't even have a pair of shoes for many years. The family rarley got to eat meat and Elvis and his father hunted squirrels. He never forgot what it was like and was very compassionate. Great song.
Don't turn to myths.
@@timcarr6401 That's not a myth you twat. I first heard about the squirrels from his childhood friends. You know nothing. You forgot to say his dad went to prison.
Tim Carr Ain’t no myth he grew up with nothing
He also lived in a two bit shak that is dad built, where he lived with us mum and dad
@@timcarr6401 no myth Tim. Check out any biography on him. He talked about it in interviews. They had it rough. I feel it gave him character and compassion though.
Great job on your reaction. The studio version is really even better.
That is literally Whitney Houston's mom sing backup!!! for real.... she loved this man
really?
do you believe in the invisible army too?
she was not on this
Whitney Houston's mother was Elvis's backup singer for years what are you talking about
@@rinkle396 really? for years? By her own admission it was 5 weeks. If you want to know what stupid looks like, look in the mirror.
You guys are great... just found you guys and your channel. Elvis is the GOAT, you got it right on! And yes, for the most part he was remembering his childhood, but overall he was singing about all poverty stricken communities where children are born and then they have to grow up in the streets of where they were born - and in those days those poverty stricken neighborhoods were called the Ghetto. No racial, or nationality or creed, or religion or ? Were excluded if you were poor! You were a child of the Ghetto and Elvis was one of those children. Born in Tupelo Mississippi (dirt poor), then they relocated to Memphis Tennessee to the projects. He knew what he was singing about! He lived it! But his Mama raised him right!!!!!! He saw NO color in a man/woman! He loved everyone and he was one of the most Generous souls, which is in many peoples opinions, that had ever lived! His generosity is still felt today by the unknown/not really heard of, foundations left behind and managed by Lisa Marie. RIP Elvis, may the crown on your head shine bright and your reign go on forever!
Also, just a SideNote: Elvis did not write this song - Mac Davis wrote the song. He was a very popular singer in the day of the 70’s & early 80’s. Country artist with a couple of “Crossover” hits.
I myself am a music historian. I am an M. Jackson myself, but I also love Elvis. As Elvis could sing Live I have never seen as a music historian. its charisma is not of this planet. ws absurt. He had so much of it that you could just look at him when he wasn't singing and open-mouthed. Elvis once did a TV special after not being on stage for 8 years. At the time, he was no longer as popular, but 80 million Americans watched the TV special to see if he still had it. He blew everything away in that show, relegating every single singer in America at the time. in his black leather suit, he showed it after 8 years of not having forgotten. if.you will watch the show now 1 do you think it was recorded yesterday. he was so far ahead of his time. there was no one who came close to him singing live. I once went as a M.J fan to a concert of M.J in Rotterdam Holland. after half an hour I left and thousands with me. M.J did 70 to 80 percent of his songs mimic. i felt cheated. And later I saw that he did that at every concert. That's why Elvis is the goat unfortunately. Elvis did nothing practiced like M.J with all his dance steps. Elvis did everything on the feel and rhythm of his band. This man is from another planet. that can not be otherwise .. has opened all doors for the black singers. as Kayne West once said on tv, without elvis i would never have had this fantastic life .... unfortunately elvis is the goat and that hurts to say as dei hart M.J fan
Watch the comback special 68 en look voor Jailhouse rock er de rock and roll medley. Damn.
Mack Davis wrote this song for a friend he grew up with, he knew Elvis could deliver the emotion of this song correctly because Elvis also grew up very poor in a section of Tupelo Mississippi called Shake Rag (?sp) when his family moved to Memphis they lived in housing projects...
At Las Vegas, Elvis was contracted to do two concerts every day for 30 days without a single day’s break … same for back up singers & musicians, but ultimately Elvis had the responsibility. Plus there were rehearsals as well. He usually did either an 8pm or 10pm concert, & then a midnight or 2am concert every day …. So if he did the 8pm concert he would also do the midnight concert, & some other singer would do the 10pm & 2am concerts, but I don’t know whether they were contracted to do just a week or perhaps two weeks. Elvis did the month, because he was a superstar & every concert was Sold Out. He also toured around America, after 5 or 6 weeks break, apart from rehearsals. When he was touring, he often just did one concert in a certain area, before travelling the next day to another city to so another concert …. They would sleep on the coach, or if it was a longer trip, they would fly in one of Elvis’ planes, usually the Lisa Marie, named after his daughter … but he only got the Lisa Marie in 1976, so the year before his death. Sometimes he would have a vacation in Hawaii, his favourite place. He also did some concerts in Hawaii, & he did concerts in Canada, but not sure how many or when. He really wanted to do International concerts, but his manager wouldn’t allow him to, saying it was too much of a security risk, but that was just an excuse because the manager couldn’t travel outside of America.
He’s definitely talking about himself and other people who grew up in poverty he grew up with absolutely nothing
how so?
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 he grew up in a ghetto, public information
@@Irish00 how is he talking about himself when the song was written about a childhood friend on Mac Davis? And he grew up as a white boy in the ghetto not a black man. big difference
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 ah shut up you’re looking for a conflict😂 off you go
@@Irish00 are my questions too intellectual for you?
Beutiful man beutiful voice beutiful song i LOVE Elvis 💕 My KING 👑
I love love reaction 🙏✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
In his earlier years in Vegas, say from 1970 to 1973-74, Elvis did two month long seasons at the Hilton doing 2, even sometimes 3 shows a day EVERY day for a whole month. On top of that he also did nightly shows when doing extensive tours. The man had a very strong work ethic not to mention a money hungry manager.
Love this. He sang it back when they didnt want him too
Watch Elvis dance in...
Rock-a-hula Baby
Mean Woman Blues and
Bosa Nova Baby
Elvis lived and started his career around Memphis Tennessee. There were ghettos in Memphis. Elvis was borne a twin his brother died at birth. It troubled Elvis lived and his brother died. Elvis had # 1 hits and did some moves. He joined the army, married Priscilla they divorced in 1972. Elvis died in 1977.
Excellent reaction gentleman. ☮️
loved the reaction, tnx guys
You should check out a video called "Elvis Presley & the Black Community." It's pieces of interviews with people who knew him and such and it gives you a great sense of his character.
He grew up Dirt Poor ! Never forgot !👍
King
please the king naime is ELVIS PRESLEY Thank you.
He came from a very poor family. He never forgot where he came from.
Elvis at his peak would do 15 shows in 15 nights 😮
30 shows in 15 nights.
Listen to his "If I can dream" you won't regret it
Mac Davis wrote it as a social commentary. Elvis and Mac both grew up poor but both knew others that had it worse. Check out Elvis doing If I Can Dream.
Yes he grew up in extreme poverty and yes that's Whitney Houston's mom singing backup!!
First thank you for the reaction. Next LMAO. Elvis was dirt poor. OKAY, I am over it now lol. Anyway, I am thankful that you young gentlemen are experiencing new to you music.
The song also demonstrated the vicious, unfortunate cycle of life that some may find in a ghetto.
Most importantly I think Elvis was calling folks out. With all the talking heads wasting breath over the decades, no one has laid out and painted that vivid picture you speak of as Elvis has in one short song; nor has there been positive change. We have to help ourselves, our brothers and sisters that can not. This means provide education and opportunities that the mouth pieces only talk about the need for, but do nothing. Sorry about that, I get fired up just thinking about certain things.
Please check out the Righteous Brothers and the Bee Gees for good music as well. You owe it to yourselves to learn about Elvis. There are a few short videos here on UA-cam.
Thanks again for the react.
We are all 1
This song is written about an actual event. Only he was an adult trying to steal to buy his newborn food & killed in the process. His child grew up in the ghetto without a father. Song wriiten by Mac Davis about a newspaper article he read.
Sois grandes chicos!!!!!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This song was written my Mac Davis. Elvis did grow up very poor. He knew what it was like to have very little. He never forgot that he came from poverty. You should really research more about Elvis, then I believe you can appreciate this man’s journey through life.
Have you reacted to Elvis, Trying to get to you from the 68 comeback special. Elvis was a Capricorn. That is where is good sense of humour come from. He loved make people laugh.
His heart was with the plight of African Americans. She shopped in their neighborhoods, bought cars from them and you'll notice his background singers are black. He went to perform in Texas and when he arrived early to look things over, they told him that his background singers not allowed in because that are black. He told them that he would not perform. So they agreed to let the women in. He told them that they would give first class treatment to the women and that he would arrive with them in a convertible so everyone could see. He was ahead of his time in this respect
He shopped (not 'she') lol
Elvis did just the weekends double shows sometimes 3 shows UT not 7 days a week in Vegas correct me if I am wrong the only time he worked 5 or even 6 days a week was live tours.
Awesome reaction, guys! So cool that you are reacting to The Beatles and Elvis. I also saw your AC/DC reaction from River Plate stadium. Sadly, what Elvis was singing about back them remains unchanged and may have even gotten worse since then. I like that you do your research as well as analyzing the lyrics to this song.
I would like to introduce you guys to a new band. They are a power trio consisting of three sisters, called The Warning. I think you will really like what they do. The song I'll leave you a link to (if you decide you want to do a first-time reaction) is the first track off of their second full-length LP. It is actually the Prologue to a four-chapter story told in a concept album. I would like to see what you think of them and this powerful performance. The song is called "Dust to Dust" from a show they gave in Mexico City in 2018.

You guys need to watch "Elvis and the black community"".very awesome..you will learn alot about Elvis background
The GOAT. is right. He was well of. you think. In 1956 his first BIG year. Elvis memorabilia made 22 million dollars in Elvis memorabilia ALONE. In. 56. Once in 1974 he bought and gave away 27 Cadillacs in 9 days. to family. Friends and strangers. You guys know who the MAN is. SECOND TO NONE. t c b. Canada
He grew up as a very poor child in Tupelo, Mississippi.
Elvis was born in poverty and he was extremely poor. He grew up in a 1 room shack with no water or power. He grew to always give back to people. He was born in the ghetto In Tupelo Mississippi
Reaction " I can't stop loving you " live Las Vegas 1970 please thanks 🤗✌️🙏 yeah
at the end, the baby being born is the "young mans" son, so as this man dies, his son
is doomed to repeat his father's actions... like he did. horrifically sad!
I would like to request Roberta Flack and Al Green
Yes!
Elvis grew up in the ghetto.....
Are you going to see the new bio movie when it comes out in June??? Do a reaction to Trying to Get To You ELVIS '68 Comeback Special PLzzzz!! TCB!
The gun was never to protect himself. The gun is all he knew. Young represented power and a way to get ahead in life. But it was young and didn't see any other way and didn't realize the of his decisions. You know like the value of life. Most young people don't see the value of life.
React to Europe the final countdown. 80s rock from sweden.
He was not born nor raised with money. my mom is 62 years old and could tell you all about him. He has sole and back then was the king of rock.
he does sing about real things that have happened to him. He also wrote his own songs.
Don't get me wrong, i'm a huge fan. But Elvis never wrote a single song.
Elvis Pressley grew up very poor in Memphis, Tennesse ; matter of fact he was dirt poor so he knows what he is talking about in that Ghetto song
Yes Elvis grew up poor n the Getto
Mac Davis originally wrote this song. In this interview he tells about the song. ua-cam.com/video/WGSnTfRJlCY/v-deo.html
do young gentleman missed the point of the song when he says and another young boy is born in the ghetto that just means that the cycle repeats itself. Member in the song at the beginning when he says her we to look away.
Do you want a lot of subscribers?!?... do the transcript of Muhammad Ali giving a speech at Elvis's Memorial!😘
Elvis wasn't a songwriter.He did grow up poor and identified with it. He came from an intact family though
I would like to request Romeo Santos
can u hear me sing a long to the song
understand...nobody did social message songs in 70....they kept it light if they werent folk singers....this was a huge risk..to take on social injustice and call the white middle class to take responsibility.....but he knew poor...his fam was evicted from public housing because his mom made 42 bux a week cleaning floors at hospital her husband was in....he knew poor...bought cars for like 30 poor folks...he was messed up ...but good soul
.
Yea he grew up poor and he loved black music so he based it on the black community
Yes he was poor and live in the getteo
Elvis was raised very poor and lived in a Ghetto for many years. He had a horrible life for so many years. Elvis did more for the black community and any politician.
Yes he grew up poor. Ghetto in the South. No indoor plumbing, no shoes to go
to school with, later public housing, treated like garbage as a child because of it.
He grow up poor in the ghetto
He grew up dirt poor!
He grew up dirt poor.
Elvis grew up dirt poor in the black community
He was poor dirty poor in a black neighborhood, where he attended the church, there he started to love the culture and the music, its creepy that he mention Chicago, which is the worst place now in the countries.
they keep cutting it off and missing key points to kill the flow and ruin it
He grew up VERY poor
He was poor
He actually grew up in Lubbock, Texas that was considered a dirt poor area, "ghetto" wasn't a common term during that time. This song isn't about color by any means. It's about the cycle of life for folks trapped in poverty. Elvis was heavily involved in the black community and churches. His passion singing was Gospel much more than rock and roll.
Elvis actually was born and grew up in Tupelo Mississippi in the ghetto. moved to Memphis when he was 13
Elvis dint grow up in Taxas. Tupulo and Memphis. How the hel.you tink Elvis grow up in Taxas????? Men, please do yo resources, my god.
Texas ! Lol, No
Let's not get on to new fans because they have the wrong info
Let's educate them on elvis
Clean up your language.
Born with nothing. Very poor
I dont think anything about the song was personal, because he didnt write any of his songs.
The song was written by Mac Davis for Elvis. Elvis did grow up very poor
It's one thing to write a song and it's quite another thing to be able to interpret a song. I've been an Elvis fan for a long time and he picked songs that he believed in. He picks songs where he loved the poetry. Remember this too, a lot of singers who claim they write their songs actually buy them from someone else pay them so much money and then claim the writing rights for themselves. They tried to do that in the beginning when Elvis first started. He told his manager once he found out about it, you will not do that, you will give the writer of the song credit. You know why Elvis did that? He did that because he was a Class Act and an honorable man. So I just wanted to set the record straight. God bless you you guys.
Carolyn Saint it wasn’t written for Elvis specifically. It was offered to Sammy Davis first. But when Elvis heard it and decided he wanted to do it.
Nothing about the song was personal You say .
It's personal about you not having a brain, but go ahead and write anyway.
Dumbest comment I've ever heard
