To all the Elvis Presley fans and everyone, Thank you! I launched this channel just two days ago with zero subscribers and lots of uncertainty. Despite initial doubts about posting reaction videos, the overwhelming support and encouragement from all of you have fueled my motivation. Grateful for this fantastic start to the journey with you all.

Please do "Trying to get to you" from this same 68 special. Also 1970 Vegas, "Suspicious Minds". and "Patch it up", and "Polk salad Annie" they show his dancing and fun on stage. Don't forget he made 31 movies and sang every style of music and is in 5 music halls of fame. He sang everything from gospel to opera. He wasn't a one trick pony. Also "Memories" is a beautiful performance from the 68 special. I subbed, Thanks Mary

[@sarahcarr5275]

Elvis fan since I first heard him sing "Love Me Tender" over a PA system in a small town store. I was 4 years old and asked my mom, "mommy who's that man singing?" She said, "Elvis Presley, baby" and I have been a die hard fan ever since for the past 40 years. When we would go on family vacations in my childhood I would pack my Elvis cassette tapes, my Elvis movies on VHS (Change of Habit, Aloha From Hawaii Concert, Elvis '56) and my fan magazines. I fell in love with the music first, then when i learned what an amazing, genuine, generous, kind human being he was who truly loved and respected everyone no matter who they were, or where they came from, it made me love him as a person too. He was a special man.

That’s my favorite live performance of Elvis doing trying to get to you from the 68 comeback special. A must see for anyone interested in Elvis #GOAT

[@carolyn_sm7182]

I grew up with my parents listening to Elvis so I have been a fan all my life. This song was aired during his 68 Comeback Special in December of 1968. That same year Martin Luther King Jr and Robert F Kennedy were both assassinated. Elvis strongly believed in racial equality and this song was meant to honor both of these men. If you want to learn more about his feelings on this subject then 2 good video's to watch would be Elvis and the black community - that echo will never die.. there is a part 1 and part 2 both give great insight into his beliefs and thoughts on the subject. He was an amazing person and performer. His talent was out of this world. If you watch a lot of his live video's you will see he also had a wonderful sense of humor and his strong religious beliefs are evident in his gospel music. I love when younger generations learn about him and his talents, I strongly believe as long as you are not forgotten then you will always be with us here and that is what sharing his music these days does. It keep Elvis alive and with us always.. RIP Elvis

[@BimuReacts]

I really enjoyed your note. Beautifully said. So true! It's always fun when people share so much about the story behind the song. True!

[@christophertyler3425]

I had never believed it when my professor in college, both a musicologist and professional symphony musician, himself, told me that he viewed Elvis Presley to be the greatest overall singer of all time. "Why?," "What the hell?," so many of us said? With him first going on to ask what's Frank Sinatra's greatest and/or signature song? "My Way," someone eventually said and then the professor proceeded to show us various polls from over the years which listed Sinatra as the greatest singer ever. Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin were also on top of some, and Elvis, too, on a few. But the point of the exercise was to simply show us Sinatra was considered by many, though it's subjective, to be the greatest. The class then listened to Sinatra's "My Way," and then Elvis' version, back to back. With the room being roughly split as to whose version was better, "which proved what I thought?" But then the professor showed us Elvis rocking out to 'Trying to Get to You' from the Elvis 1968 Comeback Special. With the point ultimately being that regardless of whose version of 'My Way" you preferred, Elvis was right there, totally at home playing in Sinatra's backyard for lack of better parlance. But as to Sinatra playing in Elvis' backyard, he said, it couldn't be done, as he said "[i]magine Sinatra, (who he totally loved) trying to do that rock number?" Then going on to say that he had found no singer who had ever sang more genres, more majestically, than Elvis, & he challenged us to find out for ourselves by looking at his full catalogue of Rock, Pop, Soul, Country, Ballads, Gospel and more. And, when done, I admit I became a convert who was so, so doubtful, at first, I can't even begin to tell you. But from rocking out to 'Trying to Get to You' from that Elvis 1968 Comeback Special, to singing about the dream of humanity coming together with "If I Can Dream," from the same show, I believe you will see what I mean. Elvis even had a voice that could be operatic if you go and listen to 'Hurt' and his version of "You'll Never Walk Alone" will tell you why he has also sold more gospel records than anyone, as well as just tons more, overall. But, with pop and 'Such A Night' to a ballad such as 'They Remind Me Too Much of You,' he did it all, and so, so damn well. While for soul, check out 'Long Black Limousine' or 'You're Wearin' That Loved on Look' which is a bit of another number. Because as Elvis' one album cover says, there's 'Something for Everybody.' Also, and if ultimately you don't think Elvis is the best, that's totally cool as there really is something for everyone!;-) Great channel and I wish you the best!!! ~ Christopher Tyler P.S. Those recommendations are only, quite literally, the beginning!

[@BimuReacts]

Omg ! Thanks for taking your time to write this. It’s so well explained and in detailed. A lot of the names are very new to be but I agree with the professor ! Only legends recognize legends ! Yeah ! I can’t wait to see more of his videos and songs !! Thanks for the recommendation ❤️

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 love for Dr. King. He also knew that Elvis was devastated by the news of Dr. King’s assassination (less than 9 miles 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.

[@BimuReacts]

[@diannau3215]

I hope you will listen to it again without pausing it. In my opinion, this is one of his best songs he wrote. He wrote this song the night before he performed it for his Christmas Special. He became popular in the 50's and continued through the 70's. He was the "King of Rock n Roll" and he sold more records than the Beatles, Michael Jackson, the rest of the well-known groups. Unfortunately, he passed away in August of 1977, but his music will live forever.

I graduated from high school in 1965. This performance was in 1968, after Dr. Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy were assassinated, and the country was torn apart because of the escalating Vietnam War. The lyrics of this song are as relevant today as they were then-filled with hope, not hate.

Well I saw this reaction and I think hound dog from The Ed Sullivan Show and so I subscribed. I can see you're just getting started. Elvis is a fascinating presence in our history and we're lucky enough to have material and even video of him from about 1954 through 1977 when he died early. You can imagine how much music changed during that time, that is multiple decades. And he just got better and better and he's actually a really nice human being, born in poverty and never forgot it. I'm a 60 year old white dude from Kansas in the United States and a musician for life. I saw that you have covered American Trilogy and I'm not sure what else and so you know that he turned into a fantastic singer although he was really great from the start. But if you haven't done it, check out his rendition of Bridge Over Troubled Water, live in Vegas 1970, in the white jumpsuit. And in fact there are many memorable performances from that show, like Suspicious Minds and Polk Salad Annie. Also in terms of something new, I've been going down the Lucy Thomas rabbit hole for the last year or two and she's continually releasing new stuff and she's really rising in the world of respected female vocalists even though she's just now 19 about to turn 20. A young singer from northern England. Check out her version of the Leonard Cohen song Hallelujah, which is difficult and has been covered 8 billion times and used in tons of movies and television shows. But she absolutely knocks it out of the park and it's a great entry point for her.

[@carolhayar3037]

new sub -- BACKGROUND INFO for the SONG: As per the producer-director of the '68 special -- Steve Binder -- Elvis, Binder & 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, also the assassination of Pres. Kennedy & Vietnam. Binder asked songwriter Walter Earl Brown to compose a song based on those discussions. The song is notable for its similarities to Martin Luther King’s wish for a world of peace and harmony. The red tie was for the blood shed in Vietnam. Way too much stopping & lengthy talking. It's disruptive & kills the whole flow & meaning of his performance. Puleeez try to make notes & comment afterwards. Thank you.

You might want to watch the videos while Elvis is singing or else you will miss his enthusiasm and emotions.

[@BimuReacts]

True! Sometimes they connect with me so much that I can't stop myself from expressing my emotions. Thanks for the great feedback.

[@RicardoLopez-yx7hg]

Please... Don't interrupt... Save your comments until the end and watch and listen. Limit the gyrations. I subscribed to your channel because you have a great personality and enthusiasm. Try “Bridge Over Troubled Water” and “Love Me Tender” where he jumps into the audience. You look like a real nice guy by the way.

@@RicardoLopez-yx7hg Thanks for the feedback. I agree. Sometimes I do it also because if you don't then KZbin takes it down for copyright. Will try to limit it and save it for the end. Thanks for the sub. The new video is out so check it out.

Well first of all. Elvis never used auto tune. And this song was dedicated to John F Kennedy and Martin Luther King. After they were killed.

[@monikakoch6309]

It was Robert Kennedy, who was murdered June 1968, only two month after MLK. John F. Kennedy was murdered Nov. 1963

[@BimuReacts]

That's the beauty of Elvis!! A legend!!

[@anastasiabeaverhausen516]

Autotune was introduced about 20 years after Elvis died.

[@BimuReacts]

Good to know!

It was my only second reaction. Check out my latest one for improved reaction

@@BimuReacts okay good

[@ianraymondback]

Its not live it's pre recorded infront off his backing group and friends

[@Code9]

Maybe so, but still not auto-tuned.

[@BimuReacts]

What ? This is not live ?

[@stevedahlberg8680]

​@@BimuReactsIt is 100% live in front of a studio audience and that large backing band all in real time. And they ended up with three or four takes because this event unfolded over multiple days. Don't let anybody ever tell you that this is not live.
