This was a tribute to MLK Jr. After he was assassinated. No one wanted Elvis to sing this song but, he was passionate about this song and he did it anyway. Elvis said Dr. King always spoke the truth. Elvis is a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon that we will never see again.

[@toodlescae]

One tip. If you want any of the millions of die hard Elvis fans to subscribe? Never ever use the phrase "fat Elvis" again. It's been used in a derogatory fashion to try abd diminish his talent and legacy in the music world too many times over the years. Yes Elvis was overweight but that due to several health problems that were slowly killing him. Even when he was clearly ill, complicated by the abuse of rx drugs, and should have been in a hospital there is a video of him giving his all to an audience of fans. That video was filmed a mere 6 weeks before he died. THAT is why people who have loved Elvis for decades get offended when people call him that. Also this song was written for Elvis during the filming of the Comeback Special after the assassinations of 1st MLK and then Robert F. Kennedy that year. It was also about the Vietnam War and all of the racial strife going on at the time. Elvis loved everyone and just wanted everyone to like each other and be at peace.

This is pure Elvis in 1968. It's NOT from a movie. I don't know what age you consider as "old". He was 33 yrs old in 1968. He died when he was 42. And he never lost his voice. Became the fat Elvis? Is this the only description for Elvis? The older Elvis, the old Elvis and finally the fat Elvis. For me he'll always be the generous Elvis, the humble Elvis, the charismatic Elvis, the Elvis that loved all kinds of people, one of the best singers ever, the Elvis that touched so many hearts and souls with his songs, in my case especially his Gospel songs.

His backup singers reported that he burst into tears as soon as he got offstage.

[@mikesba]

To learn more of his background, check out "Elvis Presley and the Black Community - that echo will never die". There are Parts 1 & 2. Elvis was born and raised in poor, mostly black communities in Tupelo, Mississippi & Memphis, TN. He was influenced by that culture as he grew up. He sang Gospel at a Black Baptist Church. He never forgot his cultural roots. He definitely pissed of his manager, Col.(?) Tom Parker, by sneaking this song in at the end of that 1968 Christmas TV special. He wanted a tribute to MLK and Robert F Kennedy who were both killed earlier that year. On another occasion, he had a show to perform at the Houston Astrodome but was told to leave his black, female backup singers home. He refused to appear unless they were on stage with him. He won that augment.

Thanks guys. A lot of young folk on KZbin have discovered Elvis for the first time and became Elvis Fans. You'd need to have somthing spicial for that to happen for today and age. More than just his music.

[@randalldeetz8659]

If you do a little more research, you'll find out that Elvis is one of the most influential artists that ever lived. Popular music wouldn't be the same without him. 'Trying to Get to You' from the same show, plus 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' should be next on your list of great Elvis recordings to react to.

[@Silhouex]

That may be true but then it would be more fitting to say "black music" was the most influential as Elvis admits he owes the heart of his music to them. Elvis has never been known as a civil rights leader but there is some evidence that he had genuine compassion for the black community. At a press conference he once said, ""The way I feel about it, this is the time for real colors to come out, not fake colors. We have to speak out righteously, because one of these days we’re going to have to stand before God. It’s neither right nor wrong - it’s just the way things are. And the colored folks have been mistreated long enough, and God knows, it’s about time they were treated better." This was said by Elvis Presley during a press conference before a concert in 1956, in response to a question about his opinion on performing in front of segregated audiences. He continued, "I wouldn't play for a segregated audience if you paid me twice the money. It's just not right. The Negroes have got their rights and they should have their freedom, but they don't have it yet. They've been waiting hundreds of years for it. I can't think of anything fairer than that, can you?" So while some criticize him for appropriating black music and not giving credit. The hate is misplaced. He often gave credit to being inspired by black culture. In one interview he is quoted as saying, "The colored folks been singing it and playing it just like I'm doin' now, man, for more years than I know. They played it like that in their shanties and in their juke joints and nobody paid it no mind 'til I goosed it up. I got it from them. Down in Tupelo, Mississippi, I used to hear old Arthur Crudup bang his box the way I do now, and I said if I ever got to the place where I could feel all old Arthur felt, I'd be a music man like nobody ever saw."

[@randalldeetz8659]

@@Silhouex You mean slave songs like 'Hound Dog', 'Jailhouse Rock', 'King Creole'? Oops... those were written by two Jewish guys. What about 'Teddy Bear' or 'Love Me Tender'? Nope, two more white dudes. Here's a few quotes from famous (Black) musicians: B.B. King: "Elvis was an influence on everyone" Rufus Thomas: "Elvis gave an injection to Black music that no artist has ever done" Jackie Wilson: “A lot of people have accused Elvis of stealing the black man’s music, when in fact, almost every black solo entertainer copied his stage mannerisms from Elvis.” Isaac Hayes: "Elvis was a giant and influenced everyone in the business." Again, do your research before throwing out the same old 'cultural appropriation' bullshit.

[@Kyubone]

@@Silhouex What songs are you specifically saying are "slave songs"? He covered songs just like any other artist covered songs. He picked out artists and songs that he liked and covered them from very early on in his career. Many were black musicians because he admired them. Also most of his influences were black muscians and he always gave credit to them regarding his own roots.

[@Silhouex]

@@Kyubone That's not true. Back then Elvis couldn't have admitted he was singing black music or he would have been shut down or literally prosecuted. It was a different world back then. Back then, it was virtually impossible for black musicians to reach a wider audience regardless of their actual skill. There are several examples of "slave songs" in Elvis Presley's music. 1. "Amazing Grace" - This song has roots in both Christian and African American spiritual traditions. While the specific origins of the song are unclear, it is believed to have been composed by John Newton, a former slave trader who became an Anglican priest in the late 18th century. The song was later adopted by African American spirituals singers and has since become one of the most recognizable songs in the world. 2. "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" - This song was likely composed by enslaved African Americans in the southern United States during the 19th century. Its origins are unclear, but it likely evolved from other African American spirituals of the time. The song became a popular gospel song in the early 20th century and has since been covered by countless artists. 3. "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child" - This song is believed to have originated among enslaved Africans in America. It is a mournful song about the loss of family and community and has been performed by many African American artists, including Odetta and Paul Robeson. Elvis Presley's rendition of the song is a soulful and haunting tribute to its roots. 4. "Peace in the Valley" - This song was written by Thomas Dorsey, a gospel music pioneer who was influenced by both African American spirituals and traditional hymns. Its message of hope and redemption resonated with many African Americans during the civil rights movement and has since become a staple of gospel music. 5. "Take My Hand, Precious Lord" - This song was written by Thomas A. Dorsey, and is a powerful gospel ballad that has roots in African American spirituals. The song is often used in religious and cultural settings, as it has a universal message of comfort and hope that crosses cultural and religious boundaries. 6. "Joshua Fit the Battle" - This song is a traditional African American spiritual about the biblical story of Joshua and the Battle of Jericho. It was a popular song during the Civil War era and has since become a staple of gospel music. 7. "Swing Down Sweet Chariot" - Another traditional African American song, "Swing Down Sweet Chariot" likely has its roots in both spirituals and folk music. The song is a joyful celebration of the prospect of being taken up to heaven in a chariot. 8. "He Touched Me" - Although this song was not originally a "slave song," it does have roots in traditional gospel music. It was written by Bill Gaither, a gospel music songwriter, and became a popular worship song in the 1960s and 1970s. It has since been covered by a wide range of artists and remains popular in many churches today. Also, if you don't want to say "slave song" "negro spiritual" is a synonym but neither are perfectly palatable to the modern era. However it's important to refer to many of these as "slave songs" as many of them were directly inspired by the tragedy of slavery. Many of them were slaves themselves or family had been or a slave trader who's religion turned him against the slave trade.

[@Silhouex]

@@Kyubone The story behind Amazing Grace is a good one. The person who wrote "Amazing Grace" was John Newton, a former sailor and slave trader who became an Anglican minister in the late 18th century. Newton was involved in the transatlantic slave trade for several years before undergoing a religious conversion and renouncing his involvement in the trade. After becoming a minister, he became an outspoken opponent of slavery and worked with William Wilberforce and other abolitionists to end the practice in the British Empire. "Amazing Grace" is often seen as a reflection of Newton's spiritual journey and his transformation from a sinner to a believer. The song was published in 1779 as part of a collection of hymns and became popular in both England and America. While the song is not explicitly about slavery, its message of redemption and forgiveness resonated with many enslaved Africans and African Americans, who used it as a way to express their faith and hope for a better future.

Background on this song -- 2 mos. after King was assassinated, Robert Kennedy was assassinated & Elvis & producer/director Steve Binder had a long sit-down discussion about the assassinations of both men plus other goings on in the world at that time; Elvis expressed his thoughts & feelings; Binder then asked songwriter Walter Earl Brown to compose a song to reflect what was taking place in the world & how Elvis felt & so "If I Can Dream" was created, loosely based on MLK's speech. Later @ recording studio when the track was finished Elvis asked for a hand mic, lied down on the floor & sang the lyrics in the way that best suited him. The red tie was for the blood shed in Vietnam. THIS WAS THE CLOSING SONG OF HIS '68 COMEBACK TV SPECIAL. See "Gates of Graceland: Secrets of the '68 Special" w-Binder interview (a long very detailed video). Pls do not refer to him as fat Elvis. The man was very ill for many yrs., some of which had nothing to do w-medications. He may have been super famous & have a lot of money, but he was quite unhappy & pretty despondent in the later '70's. He had a genetic lung condition for which he needed an inhaler to help him breath & he had painful glaucoma & the super powerful house & stage lights were very hard on his eyes.

[@drbat11]

After watching all of your BTS related stuff and some of your other reactions to rappers I'd never thought I'd see Elvis on here but I love it!!! I've been an Elvis fan since I was a little kid.

Everything in this performance has a purpose. The song itself was written by Earl Brown, inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King’s speech I Have a Dream. The song was written with Elvis in mind & it’s a tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Mr. Brown was aware of Elvis’s love for Dr. King. He also knew that Elvis was devastated by the news of Dr. King’s assassination. Just 9 miles away from Graceland (Elvis’s home). The white suit was also worn to accompany the song’s dream for better days. At the time, the conflict in Vietnam was heart wrenching. In remembrance, of the lives lost during the Vietnam war. The burgundy colored scarf Elvis wore around his neck, was for them.

He went in Army for 2 years n came back n did movies n then 68 comeback special n then to Vagus 1970 doing 2 shows every night during week n 3 shows on the weekends.Then in 1973 Aloha concert that was broadcasted around the world and seen by 1.5 Billion people. That was the only Elvis concert I got to n sat 3rd row center.i never met Elvis but was friends with Charlie Hodge his confidant and best friend for years after Elvis died. I kept a journal on the stories that he told me about Elvis. He did many more concert till the end of his short life. Charlie said he didn't like people saying at the end he was the Fat Elvis n I agree. N people always have to mention the drugs well it started with the Army officers giving the guys uppers n downers , came home addicted n had nightmares so his doctor gave him sleeping pills n meds to be awake. Then he had many health problems glaucoma,Asthma,slipped disks, hypertension, diabetes, n the most painful twisted mega colon( he was hospitalized many times) He never used street drugs, When you have all these health issues most people have problems coping with all the pain, I won't bore you anymore but will give you a few songs of his you may like to react to; Steamroller Blues Aloha concert 1973, American Trilogy Aloha concert 1973, You Gave Me A Mountain Aloha concert 1973, Make The World Go Away Vagus 1970,Bridge Over Troubled Water Vagus 1970,of course you probably know Suspicious Minds Vagus 1970, In The Getto Vagus 1970,I better stop now or I'll end up telling 500+ of his songs.i love your reaction n look forward to seeing more of Elvis

[@williamquinlan6153]

Presley died at age 42. We didn't get a chance to experience old Elvis. Despite being overworked don't fall for the idea that Vegas was a creative loss for EP. Elvis created a music showcase different from anything he'd done before. He started with a rock band with the best musicians available, including RnR Hall of Fame guitarist James Burton. He added a female soul group to the male backups he used. Then he added an orchestra which he had only worked with on the 68 Special. Presley took this musical foundation and created the first show to make money there. Before that, entertainment was brought in for the high rollers' families and mostly was relegated to the lounges. They always operated at a loss. Presley's shows sold out from the beginning and attracted other acts like Celine Dion and Toni Braxton among others to try LV. A trend which continues today. It's true Elvis became bored and his weight issues became noticeable around 74. But his shows always sold out including those on his cross country tours where he also became the first act to sell out multiple shows at Madison Square Garden in NY 71 or 72. He continued to sell millions of records including the soundtrack for his satellite concert which went to #1. So even though at the very end no one offered Presley a challenge to distance him from his prescription drugs or release him from his contracts, the 70s was still another era where Presley achieved success and creativity.
