"I'm really lost for words on this one." What an amazing reaction to this phenomenal song. This tribute to Dr Martin Luther King Jr. is from his 1968 Comeback Special, and as you noted, Elvis sang 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 1968 song with a message about racial reconciliation remains too relevant today. I really appreciated your reaction and I hope you enjoy checking out Elvis: during his 1954-1977 career, he sang just about every genre of music: from country to rock n roll, gospel, rhythm and blues and pop.

Elvis had this song written for him in 1968 to be the final song in his 1968 TV special. This video is of an additional filming he did in the studio with no audience. He wore a white suit rather than one of his typical concert costumes. He dedicated this song to MLK and his quest for a dream. Elvis grew up in poverty in primarily black neighborhoods in Tupelo, MO and Memphis, TN. He sang gospel at a local, black Baptist church in Memphis while in high school. Check out a video "Elvis and the Black Community".

He told me that Elvis was very upset over the asassinations of MLK AND BOBBY KENNEDY, and wanted to end the show with a tribute song. Colonel Parker wanted a Christmas song. Elvis was persistent and ended the show with what I believe is the greatest live performance of all time. Whatever the reason, or what we believe, we can agree he was ahead of his time, and also, this is what I was told by his best friend. and Yes , he was so emotional after the performance, that he went backstage and cried.

This performance is iconic. The whole 68 comeback special is iconic, however, Elvis fans generally go for this one because this version was live. Apparently Elvis had to mime the black leather performance of this song. But PLEASE, watch the whole show guys. ‘Raspiness’ ...yes... during 68/69 Elvis had a raw raspiness in his voice...which just blows you away. Elvis gave us his heart and soul when he sang. He would apparently do anything to make that connection. If you haven’t heard Elvis’s gospel, you’re in for a treat. Start with the album version of Peace In The Valley. Check out his blues ie, Reconsider Baby (extended sax version).

In The Cold Kentucky Rain is a must listen to and You Saw Me Crying In The Chapel is another....These were back in my day, the late 40's 50's early 60's..

This has more depth more feeling and more messages than John Lennons imagine especially about race considering this was to Elvis a tribute to Dr Martin Luther King

Thank you for discovering a natural talent unsurpassed by anything that can happen on stage. Throw as many gimmicks to make your artist look better and that is how much they lack.

Elvis was a awesome singer. How great thou art is an amazing song in 1977 he’s gives it everything he has.. Also in 1977 the media was asking people what they liked about Elvis. You should see their reactions. A couples house had caught on fire and burned to the ground and I ended up in the hospital the husband overnight, but they came to Ellis’s concert because they didn’t want to miss it.

Elvis fan for over 50 years and this is my favorite. Sang it once live……mic drop. Red Scarf was for Service members lost in Vietnam. He’s still waiting for that to happen 🙏

Elvis was raised in a Pentecostal church he could feel it &; express it. I just wish Dr. King could have heard this song, Elvis was pressured not to sing it or record it, tensions were so high I just believed he knew we needed it and I think it is very relevant for the time we in now. God rest his soul.

It's just Elvis showing his greatness and knowlege of the country at that point in time... he never wrote a song but dang... he could sing it and make everyone love

You guys really need to hear him and react to "steamroller blues". I wont say anything about the song and video, i will let it speak for itself when you see it.
