The culmination of an entire CHILDHOOD and TEEN YEARS going to church in the poorest black and white ghettos in the South during the Great Depression and Segregation ... without a pot to pee in. Brother buried in a shoe box they was so poor. I think when you have all of God's gifts of singing abilities and all that real-life experience....born in that historic time period... with a brave yearning for the harmony of people, you get something like this to occur, once in a millennium. I've never heard a greater social justice song than this. This is sung with superhuman conviction.

Rev. Martin Luther King had just been killed and the writer of the song met with Elvis - asked what he was feeling, etc., went home and wrote the song and presented it to Elvis the next. After Elvis did the above performance, the camera doesn't show but he went to his knees with TEARS IN HIS EYES. The Colonel wanted him to do a Christmas Carol instead. THANK GOD ELVIS WENT HIS INSTINCT. eLVIS WAS SO UPSET BECAUSE REV. KING WAS MURDERED IN MEMPHIS, ELVIS' HOME TOWN.

You have to put this in the context of the time. 1968 was probably the most turbulent year of the 20th century. MLK and RFK were killed and the Vietnam War was raging, splitting the country in two with demonstrations and daily TV reporting, including Walter Cronkite's famous reporting in February. Now the special was taped in June of 1968, not long after RFK was struck down, and was scheduled for a December airing (it aired December 2nd, my mother clearly remembers it. She loved Elvis then and loves Elvis now). Elvis' manager, Colonel Tom Parker wanted to end the special with "I'll Be Home For Christmas." W. Earl Brown and Billy Goldenberg wrote this song with Elvis in mind. After hearing the demo, Elvis said "I'll never sing another song I don't believe in. I'll never make another movie I don't believe in." Parker was not pleased with the song, which does echo King's "I Have A Dream" speech, but Elvis pleaded with Parker to give it a shot and the rest is history.

Elvis great grandma 💕💟 was Cherokee American Indian 🌈 Elvis grandfather Jesse was a professional singer. Elvis dad name Vernon and Elvis mother name Gladys were also gifted singers. Elvis grew up dirt poor. Elvis basically learned to play the bass 🎸 guitar 🎸 accordion 🪗 ukelele piano 🎹 and ukelele on his own. He co-wrote some songs with Red West ⬅️ and Charlie Hodge 🤩 Elvis was a very talented and natural but underappreciated actor 🌈 dancer 🩰 choreographer 🩰 and music 🎶🎼 composer/arranger/producer. ELVIS 😇❤️ was A GIVER TOWARDS SO MANY PEOPLE 😈🤩 OF VARIOUS ETHNICITY 🤩 AND TOWARDS A LOT OF CHARITIES 🤑 ELVIS 😍 GAVE MOST OF HIS FORTUNE. 🔮🤑 AWAY ☺️ WHEN HE WAS ALIVE.

hum, elvis is the best selling male solo artist of all time, EVER in history and he died in 1977. He is one of the most beloved, loved entertainers in history, STILL. So, not sure where your comments about people disliking him come from...don't not too many people who disliked Elvis....in fact. the most famous artist, actors, celebrities....etc, if asked who they wanted to met, it was "elvis" and were literally taken aback by his unbelievable good looks. He seemed to be a very generous, giving man, growing up so poor as he did.

"If I can dream of a warmer sun...." is in reference to a poem by author Richard Wright, who himself moved from the South to Chicago, in the 1920s I was leaving the South to fling myself into the unknown... I was taking a part of the South to transplant in alien soil, to see if it could grow differently, if it could drink of new and cool rains, bend in strange winds, respond to the warmth of other suns and, perhaps, to bloom. - Richard Wright, Black Boy, 1945

Elvis got a lot of flack for insisting this be the final song of the show. His manager and others wanted him to do a Christmas song for a finale. But he stuck to his guns and sang If I Can Dream. There are few who are near Elvis's stature, charisma, and God-given talent. None of them are alive today. We all think of Micheal Jackson, Freddie Mercury and maybe a handful of others, but who can you name today that has the same impact across all cultures? I just discovered your channel today, so this is my first time reacting to you reacting to Elvis! haha! New sub from AB Canada.

The '60s were turbulent years but it changed a lot of things for the better. When I see so much emphasis on skin color today, I am baffled that we forgot what MLK and Elvis and Jack and Bobby Kennedy and all those people who stood up to authority...the establishment, to make the life better for everyone. Colorblind like Elvis.

AND ROBERT KENNEDY -- “The song was not only inspired by MLK but by Robert Kennedy's assassination also -- it was after Kennedy's assassination that Elvis & producer/director Steve Binder had a long sit-down discussion, & Binder asked songwriter Walter Earl Brown to compose a song to reflect what had taken place (based on MLK's speech). Parker wanted a Christmas song (of course) but after Elvis looked at the song sheet he told Parker i want to give it a shot.”

This song was written special for Elvis, because the producer wanted to end this special ,with a song about how Elvis really felt about the senseless killing of MLk,and Robert Kennedy , and to bring peace for everyone ,now what is even special yet ,his manager said Elvis doesn't sing message songs, but Elvis said let me try it and after he recorded it ,he said from now on I will only sing songs that mean something to me that's why this will only be Elvis's song nobody else

No it was Tom that wanted Elvis to sing blue Christmas but Elvis wanted to sang this song. The colonel was pissed off when the king started singing this song.

The songwriter of this song said that Elvis should’ve had a writing credit for If I Can Dream because he just wrote Elvis' words for what he wanted the nessage to convey ❤

This song makes ne cry every single time i hear it❤ Elvis put his entire heart and soul into this performance and he never sang this song again ensuring that this would forever be "the moment" that would forever be remembered bt everyone that bore witness. When the camera does a close up of his face you can see tears, which is also why his voice has that grit to it that hits you in the heart, he was singing while crying which any artist will tell you is extremely difficult.

Here's a tidbit of info on this performance. Elvis finished his '68 Comeback Special with this song. His manager, Colonel Parker didn't want him to sing it but Elvis insisted. Colonel was scared that Elvis' image would be tarnished if he sang it as you have to remember that Elvis did that when he came back from his military duty and had left just when he became known and before all the films and concerts he did. Elvis was so emotional from MLK and Bobby Kennedy's assassinations that he had to sing this to wrap up the special. Once done, and the curtains closed and the people left, Elvis crumbled to the floor and sat there crying for a very long time. He only sang that song twice in his life as it was too hard for him emotionally to do it more than that. He felt things deeply. He also never liked to be called the King as he always said that there was only one King and that was God. Amazing man for all time.

Elvis was born and raised in poverty, he never ever forgot where he came from his dad even went to prison when he was little due to Vernon altering a check because they were so incredibly poor 😢people really should watch the video called Elvis and the black community ❤❤ so they can understand him better 😮

In his day I was too immature to call him "KIng" but ya, he was one of the greatest. RIP KIng Elvis. Such an amazing performance.
