On top of MLK being assassinated, Robert Kennedy was assassinated while they were taping the special. Elvis was very upset about both. He said that someone once told him if you can't say it then sing it. The director of the show and everyone else had heard Elvis talk about his feelings about everything going on so he asked a couple of the musicians to write this specifically for Elvis. They did it in one day then Elvis sang it and put his feelings into the words. This is the result.

That was his preacher Hubert Brewster, a popular black preacher in Memphis who said in a sermon if you can't say it then sing it.

Just to add a bit; The show's producer, Steve Binder, went to musical director, Billy Goldenberg, to write an inspirational closing song, reflecting Elvis’ feelings. Billy was going to write it with Walter “Earl” Brown, but Earl wrote it all himself, that same night (& even though entitled to it, Billy, honorably, declined co-writing credit). Earl said he drew inspiration from Sam Cooke’s song, A Change Is Gonna Come & of course, MLK's speech. Earl also said, the next day, he was playing it for the producers & Col. Parker tried to put the kibosh on it, but Elvis overruled him.

To understand Elvis' attachment and concern for the black American community you have to know the man grew up very poor and as a child, he attended one of the very very rare mixed-race churches in the south. He was a Gospel singer before he ever recorded a single rock song. The moves that made him so controversial he learned from black revival church services where they sang from the heart and just let their bodies move and flow with the passion of their devotion. Elvis as a young white boy was fascinated by that and loved it. He adopted it for himself.

Thank you for your reaction my friend. People put Elvis down these days because he didn’t write his own music. But they don’t understand why. The times and priorities today are so different than back then. Back in the day, song writers only wrote songs and they went to the record companies with their songs. If the record company liked the song then it was up to company to find the vocalist to perform the song under their label. Not everyone had the vocals Elvis had. The vocalist sold the song. The performance. There was no auto tune nor was there any computerized manipulation with vocalists. Songs and vocalist just didn’t go hand and hand back then. Today it’s all different. Basically anyone could sing these days but back then no. As a performer Presley was inducted into 22 music hall of fames. Five of which were, Country,Gospel, Rock n Roll, Rockabilly and R n B. Unprecedented. Note: Presley’s manager was a bastard. He took away Presley’s money, his career, his confidence and his life. Just think how much more Presley could have achieved if had found a legitimate manager. 👍

If you want to hear Elvis' vocal range I suggest "American Trilogy" from the 1973 world wide satellite special "Aloha From Hawaii" (first solo performer to do so) Or toward the end of the his career his version of "Unchained Melody" Elvis had a 3 octave voice and most rock singers have about a 2 octave range. Here is a quote from Henry Pleasants book “The Great American Popular Singers” (1974) “… "Elvis was all at once a tenor, a baritone and a bass, the most unusual voice I’ve ever heard.” I believe that this ability - among many others - is what makes his voice so alluring......."

This is a man who grew up in tupelo with other black children, went to a mixed race church, hired black musicians in his band in the 70’s, befriended many black artist in the 50’s and created this song for MLK assassination.

"Parker" was an alias (born Andreas Cornelia van Kujik) for a Dutch born illegal on the run as a murder suspect in his hometown. He couldn't leave the US because he couldn't get back in and he didn't want EP going without him for fear he would discover he was being cheated. Parker owed $$$$ in gambling debts. The record company was also discovered to be a part of the cheating scandal.

There seems SOOOO many songs to choose from, there are several videos on YT from his 68 Comeback. One Night With You, Heartbreake Hotel are 2 that he was with the 3 guys that he started with In 55 Scotty Moore, Dj Fontana and Bill Black along with a guy that became one his closest friends from his Army Days Charlie Hodge. It was a casual sit down like light hearted jam session and you can see King Presley's personality come through. He worked with the best of the best and he treated them good. A few more Suspicious Minds, Polk Salad Annie, Bridge over Troubled Waters, Just Pretend from his 1970 Las Vegas Show. From his 1973 Aloha from Hawaii Show that was seen by over 1 Billion people, My Way, Steamroller Blues, American Trilogy, You Gave Me A Mountain. He was more reserved in that Special because of so many people watching around the world, he didn't want to offend anyone. He recorded over 700 songs had over 1600 sold out shows and was in 31 Movies, 2 concert documentaries and 1 TV Special. I was 10 when he passed away and I don't EVER remember a time that I was not an Elvis Presley fan. Enjoy this journey. He did all of this from the time he was 19 years old till the time he died at age 42.

Late to your party but grateful for your genuine & respe tful reaction. He eould hsve bern so honored by your kind words. Elvis was remarkable. His voice & music survive the test of time. Humble, & generous beyond measure not wanting any publicity. Stayed in Memphis with the comunity benefiting from his generosity. He literally passed out from physical & emotional exhaustion after completing this song. He took a huge chance replacing the intended song with this song on top of his career hinging on the success of this comeback special. He could not read music but could play several instruments. Arranged a good portion of his recordings. Loved his musicians, backup singers. Always got the best out of all of them. Watch his live performance& the command he had on stage & interaction with musicians especially his drummer. Elvis was so gifted. Nothing but the best for his fans. He always treated them with respect and love. He knew his fans made him successful and never forgot that. He always said he'd be nothing without their love & support. His music continues to inspire and for that we are most grateful.❤😊

I've heard this multitude of times and each and every time it gives me goosebumps. This is superb, his voice was phenomenal, and his ability to express and relay the emotions that the lyrics were portraying was second to none. Magnificent.

The "occasion" was HUGE - it was Elvis first return concert (68 comeback special) after coming back from the army in the early 60's then after making movies - hence his comeback to the stage, theres different parts to the comeback special, also be sure to check out the "Aloha Hawaii" worldwide satellite concert, first time ever a music concert was broadcast world wide by satellite - only the second worldwide satellite broadcast after the Moon landing in 1969-! This song was in response the the King and Kennedy assasinations, Elvis was said to be deeply disturbed and depressed by both events

Great reaction! And I love that you do research. I have a few more facts for you. One of Elvis' goals was to be an actor, but he wanted to be a serious actor. However, the studios molded most of his movies around his image as a singer. And, even though all his movies made a profit, the couple that didn't include songs didn't net as much money. Then the studios used the profits from his movies to make movies which included the types of roles that he really wanted to play. Elvis wasn't savvy enough to have his contracts contain any type of creative control, so he fulfilled his obligations even though he said it sometimes literally made him physically ill. I suggest you check out what he stated was his favorite role which was in "King Creole" (his 4th of 31 movies).

You are a very caring man willing to learn. I am impressed with your Beautiful heart, wanting to know Truth. Loved this reaction, thank you. Elvis was so misunderstood by the many who didn't really want to get to know him as a very good person with a difficult upbringing. God Blessed him with the talent and heart for others. I wished I could've met him. I liked the man.

Just so you're not confused, the special is two "sit down shows" which is Elvis casually performing and catching up with his band from the 50s The Blue Moon Boys and they're seated, a regular concert where it's just Elvis and he's standing and moving around, and a beatnik artistic section that's heavy on the visuals.

Bill Black had died three years prior. Bill, Scotty and Elvis were known as the Blue Moon Boys for a time.

@@janicesmith1115 Such wasteful spending in these harrowing times is a sign of being impractical and excessive. Did it cross your mind that you are off the deep end by watching it 43 times? You'll probably watch it another hundred or so times before you're 30.

By the time the special aired Senator Robert Kennedy had also been assassinated. He was also a great warrior for Civil Rights.
