[@cathysmith2941]

Yes elvis and the black community the echo will never die part 1 and part 2 very highly recommend it...

[@amandarayray9340]

It's defo a good doco to watch 👌

[@christielysdale1815]

[@howrued1500]

Yesssssss!!! Echo Will Never Die is Pt 1❤️

[@renep2220]

Elvis had a twin brother who died during childbirth. His family was so poor they had to bury him in a shoebox! I heard this song in 1968 at 12yrs old and cried for the suffering and pain of the boy and his mother. I'm 66 and still cry but I got the message, People need a hand up, not a hand out. Be the change you want to see. 😇💫🙏

[@debbers]

You won't be disappointed in Elvis and the black community, he was an amazing man, the more you know about him, the more you will want to know about him!!

[@debbers]

Oh, another heart, thank you for the love!

[@patriciaesposito8941]

I love seeing young people giving Elvis a Chance. He’s sold more songs than anyone! He was also inducted to all five Halls of Fame. There is a great interview on KZbin by Baz Luhrman (producers of 22’ movie Elvis) and Sam Bell. Sam is a beautiful Blackman that was a childhood friend of Elvis growing up in Tupelo Mississippi ghetto. Sadly. Sam died before the movie came out last June. I think you will learn a lot from it. Elvis was NEVER prejudiced. He loved everyone. He didn’t steal the songs either. He would say who they were from just prior to performing them. There are so many lies out there about Elvis. So sad.

[@sharonbird2921]

Elvis wanted to shine a light on what was really going on , and he used his platform and music to get it out to people because he had a big platform where millions of people could hear it, king he was good guy ty🐐🐐🙏💙👍

[@cathysmith2941]

Elvis grew up very poor In the ghetto of Tupelo Ms in a mostly black community, his family lived in a 2 room shot gun shack that his dad built for them There were days his family didn't have running water or money to buy food..but he never forgot where he came from.. Elvis and the black community has two parts part 1 and part 2 Also if you can do a reaction to the elvis documentary , elvis a generous heart Also can you do a reaction to elvis suspicious minds from. The live vegas concert... I want to tell you thank you for taking time out of your day to bring us these elvis reactions Have a nice week

[@stacymoore9836]

Elvis was raised in poverty during the depression. He never forgot where he came from.

[@SouthernTara]

Elvis grew up in the ghetto and he went threw alott .omg I have so much I want u to see .And fun fact his daughter Lisa was Michael Jackson wife .And Whitney Houston mom was one of his beatfiul back ground singers .

[@buukkreider544]

This was in 1969 or 1970 - Elvis was born in a small poor town in Mississippi - he later moved to Memphis. Also I hope you react to the MLK Song "If I Can Dream" - his live official performance.

[@lnetscoutnshelby5691]

The Sweet Inspirations were his backup singers. Cissy Houston, Whitney's mom was one of them.

[@kimberlyjones9615]

Something about the little boy with running nose plays in the streets with the cold wind blowing always gets me. The whole song is amazing. But the little kid playing in the streets still has hope from him and his family. But then hope is gone.

[@camiamayo5093]

Thank you for this video Elvis was a great person and he was generous he loved everyone

[@MelanieMaguire]

The lyrics to this song are so powerful. Every word is true.

[@marckrenek4147]

This song was 1st offered to Sammy Davis Jr. He said he knew nothing about the ghetto. But Elvis does. Give it to him.

[@lindacantu9885]

This song is 50 years old and that same vicious cycle is still unbroken. Sad but true.

[@edcormier9932]

Elvis was born in A poor black mixed with white neighborhood which black gospel and music was a great influence. I am happy you are willing to educate yourself in the cultural music scene

[@MsRhodeman]

Elvis and the black community,, that echo will never die... Part 1 and 2

[@jezabelledb5556]

After just watching your reaction video to If I can Dream, I hoped you had found this one too ! Elvis was and always will be the greatest recording artist ever. Young men like you finding him - and being inspired by his music all this time on - he would be so unbelievably proud. He thought no one would remember him. And yet here we are, a whole new generation still listening to his music. What a legacy to leave.

[@wallflowerj6013]

Yes. The echo will never die. Please you’ll love him more after watching that😊

[@denisejohnson9825]

He speaks it because he lived it. He saw how the black race was treated unjustly.

[@GregoriousGregori9]

This song was at first shopped around to frank sinatra but frank knew it wasn't a song he could do... written by country singer Mac Davis the song comes from his own life growing up in a texas getto where a friend he had growing up & how the choices he made eventually cost him his life... when ELvis got this song he loved it & wanted to do it... His record company at first said no, it's too controversial.. it's going to hurt your career.... & to that Elvis point blank told them ...Not only am I going to record it... It will be the first single off the album.. The back up singers are the gospel group the sweet inspirations.. which whitney houston's mother was a member of. thank you for sharing your reaction & for discovering this song.

[@mzblue7214]

That is why we love Elvis. He sings to the soul. Forever Elvis, no joke. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

[@kimking6036]

Another great song Elvis sings is called, Walk a mile in my shoes. Elvis and the black community part 1 and 2. Also, there's a interview with Elvis' childhood free Sam Belle.it really gives you a look into his childhood and his beginning.

[@kennethroots7575]

I also watched your reaction to "If I Can dream" and I really appreciate you pausing and rewinding to catch the lyrics and emotions in both songs. You are a compassionate and empathic man. IMHO, they are the two best songs Elvis sang, followed by "Kentucky Rain".

[@newnotefinder8972]

Great reaction! I had to subscribe! I’m 55 years old and always have been an Elvis fan. My daughter grew up loving Elvis. She was the only one wearing Elvis merch to high school. She never minded being herself 😊. So many great songs to choose from but you must watch “Suspicious Minds Live in Las Vegas”, one of his most iconic performances. You can really see who he was as a person and his personality. Sadly, I still remember the day he died and the largest newspaper article I had ever seen the following day. 😔

[@debbers]

I think you are very sweet and I don't mind if you go back a hundred times, this song, if any, deserves it and the respect you've given it here tonight!

[@debbers]

Thank you for the heart, I appreciate it very much!

[@amandarayray9340]

Can I suggest you react to the following Elvis? Walk A Mile in My Shoes, Polk Salad Annie, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Suspicious Minds, You've Lost that Lovin Feelin - all Live in Las Vegas 1970 American Trilogy, What Now My Love - Live in Honolulu Aloha from Hawaii 1973 Trying to Get to You, One Night With You, Baby what do you want me to do, Trouble/Guitar Man - all from the 68 Comeback Special Stuck on You, Fame and Fortune - 1960 Frank Sinatra 'Welcome Home Elvis' When you're done with this list, I got more haha 😉🤣

Are you sure you have enough? 😂😂😂. Jk Couldn't resist! Lol

[@janesmith3123]

Elvis was from the Ghetto. Tupelo, Ms two room house. His Dad went to prison 18months for writing a bad check.

[@catherinepage2676]

Lyrics so simple, yet so moving...

[@anns6215]

That song is a ride. God Bless You..thank you for your honest reaction.

[@marygammons3323]

I sing this to my kids as a lullaby. Thanks for keeping Elvis alive and for a wonderful reaction. thank you thank you very much. Can't wait for the next one

[@howrued1500]

My wickedly wonderful stepmother will be 93 on Dec 16th, & my Saint of a Mama’s Bday was Dec 17th🥰 You’re in grand company. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! The world is a better place w you in it❤️ Mac Davis, the song’s writer, originally took the song to the late GREAT African American triple threat talent Sammy Davis Jr. Sammy said- I’m sorry, I can’t sing this song. I don’t know how to; I’ve never lived this way. But I do know who has- take it to my friend Elvis Presley. Davis would later tell the story of how Elvis wanted to add that final ‘… and his Mama cries.’ It was not in the original song. Davis was neither too crazy or sure about it. Elvis was lol To quote Davis ‘He was right!’ Those last 3 lil words repeated one more time truly drive home the cyclical nature of the ghetto. Elvis was so involved in every aspect of his show and on the stage. Arranging the music, directing & conducting both his musicians & his back up singers… the leg shaking & pseudo karate moves are setting tempos, saying ‘again’ or ‘call it- I’m done’, and any vocalists/choir members recognize here that last move was closing the final glorious note every so grandly- and cleanly. You’ll also at times him call out what song is next- there were no predetermined show ‘sets’. It was what struck him would strike that particular audience. He was running everything… except unfortunately his finances and his life😔 Fun fact: Whitney Houston’s Mom was one of his backup singers for a while😊 Looking so fwd to your ‘Echo’ reaction!! Stay safe & love much💖

[@sopala3952]

Such a relevant song .. more than ever in 2023 too

[@dherald1532]

I have never watched your videos before but I will in the future. You are so real, and you keep going back until you get it. And when you repeat the lyrics you do it in such a poetic way it only adds to the song. Great reaction!

[@gailcalderone5229]

Mac Davis wrote this song n asked Sammy Davis to sing it.... Sammy said " I don't know anything about the Ghetto ask Elvis he's from the Ghetto." Elvis said yes right away but his manager n alot of his ppl told him not to do it because racism was at it's peak n it could ruine him... Elvis didn't care he knew the message needed to get out....He did risk his career but the man sang it anyway...

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

Elvis did that with other songs as well as his own actions....& choices that were unheard of back then! Pushing for equality he received numerous death threats!

[@sunnycrocker6016]

If l can dream , Elvis dedecated the song to MLK n R kennedy just like what MLK l have a dream thank you young man for giving a chance to the legend miss Elvis all years✌️😘🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲😍

Backup singers are The Sweet Inspirations, including Cissy Houston, mother of Whitney Houston.

[@MigdaliaTomalinas-os2nz]

The Echo will never dye will give you a true look into who Elvis is. To bad you didn't react to the live in the ghetto performance. He was so subtle. Only his voice shown through the lyrics. The song was written by Matt Davis and it was not song artists of his time would do. His manager didn't want him to do it. He made a statement that is still true today. At first Matt didn't like Elvis pronunciation of "Ghetto" he grew to like it. Love this reation. Keep doing Elvis.

[@ElvisRose_]

The actual Elvis gets lost to a lot of noise. The false rumors of racism, his love life, and people misunderstanding his actual contributions to music versus arguing over Elvis getting criticized for things others said about him despite his own statements on the matter have drowned out a man who did the very best he could, wasn't perfect but never claimed to be, and lived a short but meaningful life & career that left a legacy as and in some ways, even more relevant today than when he lived.

[@jeanjennings2290]

Listen to elvis singing if everyday could be like xmas.

Love you man, and thanks for keeping it real.

[@MaliceInCandyland]

He actually does get talked about a lot. Like, more than anyone. His songs and covers of his songs are in TV shows, movies, and commercials are everywhere and references to him are all over TV and movies too. If you've ever seen Lilo & Stitch, Pokémon, Are You Afraid of the Dark (the old or new one), Big Little Lies, The Conjuring 2 & 3, 11.22.63, Zombieland 2, Good Omens, or pretty much anything, there's Elvis songs or references in it. Elvis IS American pop culture.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

It was funny because a man named Mac Davis wrote the song and he was really hoping that a black person would sing it or at least somebody really famous. That's white. But at that time? In the late 1960s? Nobody dared nobody. Not even the biggest names would not touch it. They all wanted to but they would not touch it with a 10-ft pole and neither would the record companies. He even asked Sammy Davis Jr at some point and he said later that he desperately wanted to do it but even he is a black man didn't feel like he could do it. It was just too risky. They finally come to Elvis and see what he thinks and apparently his very first reaction immediately was, That's gonna be my next single, boys!
