Elvis' manager told him not to perform this song because it's too controversial. Elvis told him the only way he won't perform it is over his dead body. After this performance Elvis said he would never again record a song he didn't believe in. LONG LIVE THE KING.

He sang this as a tribute to Dr. King... who he had huge respect for. For those who may not know this, Elvis was raised in & accepted by the black church near his home & was a part of the church choir. His favorite music was gospel & his only grammy awards were for his gospel recordings.. he was famous for hours before or after his concerts for just going to the piano & singing song after song in praise.

Imagine how effective Elvis could be today if he had lived. All the music. And his voice/message. Always non political. This was his personal tribute to MLK, who was assassinated in Elvis' hometown. Elvis was devastated and he insisted he sing this song to end his TV show as a tribute to MLK and the Kennedies also gunned down. Maybe the greatest performance of all time for a message song of this nature. Singer speaking to the people. Trying to heal a nation. Going against the grain. In a decade when assassinations were taking all the people's heroes down. THAT was BRAVE af. And the network wanted NOTHING to do with it and insisted Elvis NOT perform it on their airwaves. Elvis won that argument and thank God he did. He was one of a kind and the biggest proponent of peace and harmony in the music world that probably ever existed.

"Not only the best Elvis performance I've seen, that's one of the best performances I think I've ever seen. " Absolutely right. I'm so glad you re-uploaded this because it's one of the best reactions to If I Can Dream on this site. Every word you want to say is written on your face as Elvis sings. It's obvious that this song is really speaking to you. I must say, I really like the "copyright" insertions - they feel less intrusive than the pauses you guys have to do to avoid KZbin problems so thanks for doing that. You were spot on about the tribute to Dr King origins - this is from his 1968 Comeback Special, as you noted, Elvis sang it with so much conviction and passion. He admired Dr King (some Elvis fans tend to claim that they were friends but there's no substantiated proof of this) and was devastated to hear of his murder. Such a shame that a song with a message first heard in 1968 remains too relevant today. Sadly, If I Can Dream was a once in a lifetime song and performance from Elvis. He never performed it live again - a real shame because although he didn't sing many socially conscious songs, the few that he did still speak to the mess that the world is in today. I'm also a big rap fan but I love all kinds of music. I hope you continue to enjoy checking out Elvis because during his 1954-1977 career, he sang just about every genre of music: from country to rock n roll, gospel, rhythm and blues, pop, soul and even funk. I really adore your heartfelt and deep reaction because I know you had your doubts about Elvis in the beginning. Take care.

Sincere reaction to an extremely sad but real song 👏 And how sad is it that this song is still relatable to this day? Elvis grew up in poverty, his father was in prison for 6 years so he and his mother lived in a shack - dirt poor - they depended on others for food. He grew up playing with all different races but mainly in the black community - he loved to go to the local church and sing gospel with the choir. Elvis himself was part Native American - he didn't see colour, he saw people. A true Gentleman who never forgot his roots. A rare, unique & truly special talent.

There was a whole lot going on in our country at this time in 1968. Civil Rights protests, anti Vietnam war protests, getting the daily "Body Count" each night during the news, and then two months before this special was recorded Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated not far from Elvis' home in Memphis, TN and then Robert F Kennedy was assassinated in a Hotel in California just two weeks before this special was recorded. It felt like we were tearing apart as a country! This song was directly inspired by Dr. Kings "I Have A Dream" speech that he delivered in Washington DC in 1963 and was written at Elvis' request specifically to close this special.

This is his tribute to his good friend MLK. King's assassination touched Elvis deeply. They wanted him to do a Christmas song, but Elvis insisted on doing this one. When it was over, he went to his room and, in the fetal position, wept inconsolably. The other message song he sang was In The Ghetto.. He didn't write it, bit he grew up in a mixed impoverished section of town. Both songs are still very relevant some 50 years later. I pray for the day they become irrelevant.

"If I Can Dream" , written by Walter Earl Brown most notable for its direct quotations of Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1963 "I Have a Dream" speech. The song was published by Elvis Presley's music publishing company Gladys Music, Inc. It was recorded by Presley in June 1968, just two months after King's assassination. The recording was first released to the public as the finale of Presley's '68 Comeback Special. Brown was asked to write a song to replace "I'll Be Home for Christmas" as the grand finale on NBC's "Elvis", 1968 . Knowing about Presley’s fondness for Martin Luther King Jr., and about his devastation related to his then-recent assassination, he wrote "If I Can Dream" with Presley in mind.

Some people who were mad because they couldn't control him started a rumor that he was racist. Nothing could be further from the truth. He was raised in poverty in the deep South in Mississippi, his mother worked as a domestic and his father as a tenant farmer. He attended black churches and hung out with black friends. There is a video out there something like "Elvis and the Black Community" where all of his friends from way back tell about their friendship with him.

Elvis was not only an entertainer he was an entertainer for everyone no matter the skin color. He grew up as a lot of us southern white boys did and never understood the problems until the adults taught us different and that really includes all races. We still have a way to go but we're slowly getting there. One things for sure we can all agree on great soulful singers which i grew up listening too. Sam Cooke...Percy Sledge were 2 of my favs along with Elvis and I still listen to their music. I'll be happy when both races stop color coding their friends and just include everyone as their friends. Thats when we'll all be able to turn the corner. Turn the damn tv off and listen to Elvis he's a lot better than cnn or fox has ever had to offer us all.

You are so right. This message is more now than ever. Im so glad you said this is pieces of the puzzle. People were lied to about Elvis. There have been many lies, much propoganda to divide us. Mist people do want peace. We are One! Blessings to all.

I like your reaction. It was honest and I felt you felt what Elvis was feeling when he sang that song. I heard that he went back stage after and collapsed and cried. He dedicated this song to Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy. I think the next Elvis song you should react to should be "In The Ghetto". It's another song that is still relevant today.

This was done in response to the killings of MLK and RFK just days and weeks before...He put it all on the stage that night..Its a great story of how it all came about to do this song..Written in less than an hour...I remember being 10 years old and watching this broadcast in Dec 1968..It was the highest rated show that year...GREAT REACTION....

This song makes me very emotional. I tear up every time because I wish life could be as Elvis painted it with such passion in this song. Thank you for reacting to it. I could see how it touched you too. This should be the National Anthem...and not the crap about bombs bursting in air. War mongers created songs like that to keep us all in a war mindset....and life should not be about that. It should be about the love of each other worldwide.....but instead sadly the world is wearing masks for no reason other than the mainstream news keeps everyone living in fear. It's a control game...and has now become a business for the rich evil elite who are running the show. We all need to hug each other....and not do what these creeps say to pretend to keep us safe. Every single thing they have told us to do is to kill our natural immune system. All that mask does is make healthy people sick by breathing their own carbon dioxide. Sorry for rambling. Great job and you really showed your heart her as Elvis did.

OK hi God bless you. I am from New Jersey my five Elvis favorite songs are can’t help falling in love with you from the 68 comeback special in the black leather suit. Second favorite would be my boy third and I love you so forth an American trilogy and if I can dream. I really appreciate your learning about Elvis but I would highly suggest that you watch Elvis and the black community. It’s about 10 minutes long the first part and then there. Is a part two. I loved your genuine reaction to this because Elvis put every ounce of heart and soul into this. I remember when I saw it when I was 10 years old. I’ve loved Elvis since I’m five he’s my all-time American hero because he represented, but I believed in and if you watch Elvis and the black community, you’ll learn that. Being a white woman although I don’t like to put a collar on anything I grew up in a non-racist family, so I was very proud of Elvis when I was 10 years old watching him sing this. I was honored to see him live. Eight times in concert and now that I’m in the golden years of my life. Those were probably the best eight moments of my lifetime. God bless you and keep you safe. Thank you so much for learning about who Elvis really was and not the rumors that people try to spread watch Elvis in the black community you’ll be floored thank you I used the voice messaging, so I hope this came out correctly without any errors. Ha ha ha being an old lady ha ha ha.
