Elvis did all he could to fight racism in his life. He was truly World famous. Not one of his peers didn't love him.

[@rong805]

Very true. I've NEVER seen someone he worked with say anything but nice things about Elvis. Most added that they were surprised how humble and regular he really was. You really see it in his rehearsal videos.

Love your genuine reaction. You absolutely nailed it. Elvis pulls you into his soul. Can’t explain it but I get goosebumps every time I hear this song.

[@parkiwi4787]

Beautiful, Elvis's songs often had a message, a message that came from his life and soul. He is THE GOAT, sung blues, country and western, jazz R&B, rock and roll, but what a SOUL.

Perfect performance with so much passion. Totally agree with you that you feel the lyrics

[@davidharrison1523]

I agree …. Elvis has so much emotion & passion when he sings, which is absolutely genuine. After he sang this song, he said that he was never going to sing a song which didn’t mean something to him. Great reaction.

[@thymeout4rosemary446]

I’m not the only one who has said that may be the greatest performance by anyone, anytime anywhere. This was done in memory of MLK’s great speech, in response to his assassination in Memphis that April. It is worth watching a few times.

[@danieldambrosio50]

Yes it is the greatest performance by any singer. The passion is tangible, the message cuts deep and is still relevant in most countries of the world! Elvis' voice is phenomenal and he looks extremely handsome. All round this is a class act. I watch this video over and over again. South Africa. ⚡👍⚡🇿🇦

[@charlesdidonato3121]

I enjoyed your video. Firstly, because you let it play through without interruption. Secondly, because you recognized Elvis' versatility and his passion. The guy was charisma personified, not equaled by any other performer on stage by himself, without backup, or dancers, or fireworks.

[@davidschiech9188]

I totally agree that this performance by Elvis Presley is undoubtedly one of if not THEE GREATEST PERFORMANCE EVER by Anyone Ever, at Anytime!!

I just found your channel today and had to subscribe I really glad you reacted to this song from Elvis to me it's one of his best performances you can feel the passion in his voice when he sings this, they say when mlk was assisinated that it hit elvis really his wife said when he heard the news on TV he went to the corner of the room sat and on the floor and started to cry... Thanks for reacting to this I hope you reach goal for subscribers have a great rest of your week😊😊

I believe more people think this way than you realize

[@sandramoore]

I really believe that 100 years from now, if the world continues to function with technology and electric to transmit music and old film footage to listen and view the music of Elvis, he will remain a star. Each generation will discover him and bring new fans to Elvis. Maybe by then there will be his equal, but I doubt it.

[@heijack77]

Good to see you back again.

I love how you let the song play through then tell us what you think, your emotion plays out in your face and body language. We can enjoy the song with your then hear your commentary, that is spot on. Then if you want to play it over and stop it at various times to comment on a particular part that is important to you, we want to hear it, we also want to hear the song uninterrupted. I like your style. You do you, my opinion is like everyone else's, just an opinion. Peace, love and be safe.

[@timothydrumm5690]

What can you say? WOW! Timeless - Feels exactly like ELVIS sang this masterpiece... YESTERDAY!

[@joesawyer3642]

You have just witnessed a devastated Elvis singing out his soul to honor his assassinated friends, Dr. Martin Luther King, and Senator Bobby Kennedy who was also a fierce fighter for human rights and equality. Watch the video "Elvis Presley and the Black Community" and that will give you an good idea of how Elvis fought his heart out for the innocent downtrodden.. He grew up dirt poor and hung out with African Americans who loved him as much as he loved them. He was a force for good, and it hurts to see him called a racist. He was a courageous fighter all of this life. I love that man. i'm new..

[@sherylmcclure400]

This song was written special for Elvis because he was devasted when Bobby Kennedy was killed and then MLK was shot and killed ,and yes this is his powerful performance ever

[@ChefBarb58]

YOU HAVE IT BACKWARDS M.L.K. THEN ROBERT KENNEDY 😊

[@michellejackson6679]

Mama raised me on Elvis and when this came out I was 1.... listened to it later in life and it became my favorite of his but I still didn't realize the what it meant until my late 20's early 30's... When I finally realize the significance of the message of this song it just made me love it even more and no one could have ever made such a statement in 1968 but Elvis Presley... the passion and truth in his voice is legendary.

[@sallycook]

This song was especially written for Elvis after the director and musical director of 68 Special saw Elvis’ emotional response to Bobby Kennedy’s assassination on the back of the tragic assassination of MLK, which also affected Elvis very badly. Elvis sang this song to close out the Special. After recording this song Elvis vowed to never again sing a song he didn’t believe in. He went on to do the iconic Memphis Sound Studio recordings a few months later.

[@kathifielder1110]

Wonderful reaction Munroe! Fun fact: one of his back-up singers said "when Elvis chose a new song he spent time alone with it until it was engrained in his heart". He was very sensitive to other people's feelings. I heard him say in a rehearsal "I get carried away very easily. I'm an emotional s.o.b."

[@shirleycarr5387]

Wow beautiful 😍

[@depper]

**TRANSCRIBED TEXT FROM MUHAMMAD ALI'S AMAZING SPEECH at Elvis' Memorial Service - "We black people are kinda funny about music. We aren’t going to follow someone unless they’ve got some Soul. Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Micheal Jackson, but, the only white boy that had soul and could sing as good as ANY of them was Elvis. A lot of great singers who are black, but, one man literally as good as anybody, put all those brothers together there’s none any better than Elvis Presley. Singing ability, he a had everything, and he was pretty, I know. And when it comes to boxing nobody has the class, the style, the wit, the speed and beauty of Ali. And when it comes to singing nobody had everything like Elvis. And the last thing, we must understand, he did lot for poor people, he cared for people, he had a good heart, he just wasn't a person who was great with talent, but he was great in spirit and with God in his heart, and this is great too. I realize how good I am in my profession, I wouldn't praise nobody if he don't deserve it, because I am the greatest of all time in boxing, in boxing. I said boxing ! But I'm telling you, not just you all, the Elvis fans, so naturally you praise Elvis, he's of European race as you are, but I'm Black, I'm a Islamic, I'm 100% different from you. But I’ll tell the world Elvis was the greatest of all time. I'm a Muslim who's black who stands up for what he believes. I don't have to say what I don't feel, I'm not false, I don't have to say this. I have no Bosses. I'm free. He to me, is one of the greatest singers, actors and all round men of all time.” ~ Look on KZbin for it -- it be great to react to. And its on video.

[@depper]

Elvis and Ali were very close. They connected spiritually. And Ali considered Elvis similar to a spiritual advisor, as James Brown did. But they also connected as brothers and friends. They both liked fighting. Ali the greatest boxer that ever lived and Elvis, an 8th degree black belt with incredible speed and flexibility and technique. Ali loved Elvis' support of the civil rights movement something he considered very important back in those days. Without a doubt they loved each other.

Yet it’s sad that it was/is still happening today. I’m in this fight until Christ calls me home. We have too honor our fallen by continuing what they paved for us. We are a Unified Front over here!

You cannot go wrong with Elvis. This song as other people have commented about was because of MLK's assassination. Elvis took the news pretty bad. This performance is one of my favorites.

Unico increible mi idolo

[@michele6740]

There was so much passion for change back then. People died for our freedom to vote. We can’t even get people to educate themselves, learn about systemic racism and vote. Vote for the leaders that say they will change these things and if they don’t - vote them out. But need to make sure they are not having their hands tied by the system as well - and may need another term with a different balance in congress to actually accomplish it. But need to be aware - know what’s going on. Not to be fooled and vote against your own best interest. Our Leaders do what get’s them re-elected and get’s them $. If doing what we want get’s the re-elected - that is what they will do. But right now what is working for them is lies. We are still, technically but barely, a Democracy: FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE." If we can keep it. But when the people aren’t paying attention and voting… someone comes in and tries (almost does) take it away by turning us more against each other with hate and lies. And watching himself raise in power to undermine us - and using some of us to do it. Start by watching/recording 1hr -Watch the new show: News Nation with Cuomo (Chris Cuomo) is the one we trust to start us forward. He has worked for Fox and CNN. He knows the game. This is where we pick it back up! And at the very least, for the times right now, go on line register, wait for your voting info to come in the mail… and VOTE Democratic!

This was written in the memory of MLK

[@carolhayar3037]

There is constant mention of Elvis "collapsing" regarding this song, that he was crying when he sang (which in itself is ridiculous when you look closely at his face); song writer Earl Brown said while Elvis recorded the song, he saw tears rolling down the cheeks of the backing vocalists; Brown wrote If I Can Dream with Presley in mind; people like to think he was so over-the-top w-heartbreak that he near passed out; that's not to say he was not upset, saddened, concerned, etc.; it does say that people like to think his grief caused him to collapse; pls see "Gates of Graceland: Secrets of the '68 Special" at kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4vYh5SIf7-qmbs (which is long) & go to 20:44 to approx.28:05 for the story of If I Can Dream & his lying on the floor; your words about Elvis' "rich, strong, powerful, range" is spot on -- especially about the "passion" he had; i've never listened to nor watched any singer w-those qualities; thank you very much.
