Elvis was the best singer of all times and he will forever be in my heart! ❤️

[@deniseperryman2814]

I’ve been watching this for many many years. I’m 72 and Elvis has always been in my life thanks to my older sisters. This is also my son’s favourite song. My son was just 3 weeks old when ELVIS passed away. My heart broke into a million pieces when he left us. I’ll never that day has long as I live.💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏

This song still resonates in today’s society. I was 7 years old when this 68’ Comeback Special first aired. I’ve been a fan ever since. I seen him Concert when I was 15 years old in 1976. He said since this is the bicentennial would everybody stand up and sing America the Beautiful with him. I still have my ticket Stubbs.

(new sub) SOME BACKGROUND INFO: As per Steve Binder, the producer-director of the '68 special, Elvis, Binder & a group of others were together in the studio when they heard noise coming from the TV in the next room; it was the TV news broadcast that Robert Kennedy had just been assassinated. Binder, Elvis, et al sat up until about 4 a.m. talking about the turmoil in the world at that time w-Elvis expressing his thoughts & feelings. Elvis was disturbed about many things that were going on in the world; there had been some assassinations a few yrs. prior to King & Kennedy, & the Vietnam war was raging. Binder asked Walter Earl Brown to compose a song based on his discussions w-Elvis. The song was composed post haste as the show’s taping was wrapping up. The song is not a literal dedication to any one person or persons but is notable for its similarities King’s wish for a world of peace and harmony. The red tie was for the blood shed in Vietnam. We have to also thank Steve for getting one of his people to keep Elvis' manager Parker AWAY so that he & Elvis could do what they needed to do to create that special. There are many wonderful videos of Steve talking about how it all came together & the real reason for the iconic “If I Can Dream” song, which many people aren’t aware of or have the wrong notion about why it was written. The female backups for this '68 special were The Blossoms which included Darlene Love. There were a lot of behind-the-scenes happening that went on in the making of this special & if it wasn't for the great Steve Binder, one of the most upstanding, ethical people in the business, who knows which way Elvis' career would have gone. If you're interested, there is a video at kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYa1dWirgdela7c (7:19 min.) entitled "Elvis' director, Steve Binder talks about creating Presley's big comeback special in 1968" which is straight to the point & puts to rest a lot of misconceptions about the song. It does end with the song. Thanks very much.

I was 8 when this came out. My Mom and Dad and uncle were HUGE fans of Elvis. This song made me think, even at 8, there is no skin color. we are all people, brothers and sisters sharing this time on earth.

Great Reaction 👍🙏💯😎😃

I'm listening to music since 1958, this is one of the greatest performances I've ever seen. He got fed up with race relations then had a songwriter write this spectacular song for that purpose. Best of success with your channel.

THAT is the most emotional I've ever seen Elvis while singing a song. I'd actually never seen that video, and I'd heard the song only once or twice. My oldest sister was 12 years older than I, so I remember a lot of the music that was popular when she was in high school, but none of them measured up to Elvis. I'd like you to play 'Suspicious Minds', which was after his comeback, too, I believe. I don't think Elvis ever stopped loving Priscilla, which made a huge impact on his emotions when singing certain songs. His voice was like no other's, so he probably could've sung the phone book as a concert and people would've paid to see and hear him. I love hearing 'I Can't Help Falling In Love' by him , too. You've probably heard Willie Nelson and others sing "Always and Foreve a

[@kmac2957]

"Always and Forever," which I liked a lot, but no one can sing it like Luther Vandross, who we lost way too early. Why don't you see how you and your listeners like it? Luther's voice is like no other's also.
