Elvis Presley & The Black Community - That Echo Will Never Die REACTION

[@chethunt2455]

Elvis was one of the most generous celebrities we’ve known. A real humanitarian.

[@andrewmize823]

I'm not religious, but if you play Elvis singing Take My Hand, Precious Lord, I will cry like a baby every single time. It was one of my grandmother's favorite gospel recordings, and it still gets me 25 years after they played it at her funeral.

[@kazshaw3945]

Elvis is my Hero for being a Great Humanitarian !

[@kirkdouglaswilson5706]

I grew up in a black community in Halifax Nova Scotia.. east coast... all of the older black folks here still listen to elvis Presley

[@janebeddow6213]

His music will never die

[@TinaOwens-v2n]

His twin died at birth and once Elvis lost his mama he carried on with the most beautiful gospel songs among many other songs he was NEVER racist nor are many of up

[@carolynlampman209]

Elvis set the world on it's ear! He did a LOT for a civil rights.

[@wiccanmoon0001]

Elvis was a good kind man. He never forgot where he came from, he just wanted to make everyone’s life a bit better. He stood for decency fairness and equality.

[@mj011n1r]

Elvis was the man.

[@ruthmeneses5838]

Elvis was a ground breaker man...

[@ruthmeneses5838]

He had soul that goes for everybody we should love everyone for their talent. I love that I enjoy music that means all kinds of music it's a blessing man

[@tonywilson5896]

He's still here with us now in body and soul !

[@r3ddirtr8r28]

Elvis was an original G! Much respect!

[@dalesmith7144]

Elvis is a part of history he was that bridge for black people too walk over too be heard through there music and appreciated for there talents. If Elvis didn’t fight for his rights then artists like the legendary Michael Jackson would have never being known for his iconic dancing because the music industry would have outlawed dancing in music videos.

[@frankcooper8809]

5000 years from now they will still be talking about Elvis Presley

[@flarica64]

Amen. Such a precious soul!!🤗😍

[@greggwilliamson]

My mother finally got to see him about a year before he died. She was in her 50's and it was the first time I ever saw her behave like a 15 year old with the biggest crush ever.

[@richardchairez1682]

Elvis was the bridge that was NEEDED to bring two cultures together. The birth of Blue Eyed Soul 🤘

[@AliSakurai]

Elvis was one of the few who pried open the door for amazing black performers to walk through and made sure he never got any credit for it. He wanted them to shine. And it's true Elvis always made sure his girls got the star treatment because they were just as important as he was in his performance.

[@mikemanders4902]

When Jackie Wilson was in an extended coma prior to his death it was elvis who covered his medical costs. He was devastated losing his friend.

[@kimking6036]

Ignorant people hated Elvis and his relationship with the black community. He was getting death threats. But he said I'm not doing anything wrong. He wouldn't let them change him.

[@gilliankoivu9145]

The reason Elvis was cool was because he was good. He loved his mama, loved God, loved his friends, loved fried banana and peanut butter sandwiches, and Elvis loved his fans. In turn, we all still love Elvis. 😊❤

[@patricianixon7674]

Yes Elvis Presley was a Christian

[@NocturnEternal]

His legacy will always live on forevermore…

[@zulawoo]

We need another elvis

[@827dusty]

Every night after he was exhausted after a concert, he was tired and soaked from sweat, he would still gather up his Back-up singers, and go back to his dressing room, and they would sing Gospel songs for another hour or so. He was a Christian man, but he had his demons like we all do. Elvis was a really good Human Being. God Bless

[@sharonbird2631]

Thank you for playing that Elvis was a good guy ty👍🙏☘️☘️☘️

[@christielysdale1815]

Two of my favorite stars in one video, Elvis and 50 cent. Just missing LL Cool J

[@BelovedChatter]

Elvis is the OG for having a nightclub in your house. He was living like a rap video when we were landing on the moon.

[@FLIPPER1439]

Back then it SHOCKED THE WHOLE COMMUNITY. ELVIS brought in rock & roll It was very straight lace back then❗️ I know as I was born 10 years after Elvis. TV was a sin..and so were the theaters. I definitely don’t care what the color of a persons skin is. GOD ALMIGHTY created ALL MANKIND.🙌HALLELUJAH

[@27sparkle73]

We need Elvis today ❤

[@garytom1935]

The black community was more accepting of Elvis, and song with them 🤘😎🤘🎸🔥

[@froglick28]

Elvis is truly the King of Music

[@judymeeker2925]

Elvis had the right spirit.

[@TennesseeMelanie]

It makes total sense to say that Elvis may be dead, but he will never "die." Unlike any other musician in popular culture, he changed society. His impact was far greater than any other musician ever. Was he the most talent ever? Technically, probably not...but the total impact he made hadn't been experienced before and hasn't been experienced since. Anyone who thinks he "stole" music doesn't understand what real music is. He brought real attention to artists and music that deserved so much more attention than it had received prior to him. I am thankful for that.

[@karendickinson1238]

Elvis did it all!!

[@TerriLynn714]

Because Elvis Presley loved the black community

[@AlphaOmegaAmen]

Yes Elvis was it back then love!🥰

[@ruthanncrandall3978]

AMEN….Elvis lives on !!

[@elvisriley5843]

I can't wait to see Elvis in heaven.

[@Coolrockndad]

"What most people don't know is that this boy is serious about what he's doing. He's carried away by it. When I was in Memphis with my band, he used to stand in the wings and watch us perform. As for fading away, rock and roll is here to stay and so, I believe, is Elvis. He's been a shot in the arm to the business and all I can say is 'that's my man'. THERE IS NOT A RACIST BONE IN THAT MAN'S BODY, AND I SHOULD KNOW." -- BB KING.

[@sarahanlon4870]

He was ahead of his time.

[@geoffsullivan7902]

They were so wrong……Elvis changed the fabric of music….forever. God Bless❤️

[@starlaminde8436]

Love Elvis!

[@susansullivan5739]

His music was different back then, before him they had no rock music, He paid his dues,big time.

[@donnabruhn6907]

Rock n roll was a big part of our history that hopefully will never die

[@harp376]

God rest his beautiful soul

[@francisrankin1771]

God bless you so much rest in peacefully in heavenly home 🙏😇 thank you sharing the good news

[@axelmags1277]

He didn’t steal anything from anyone, he took something and made it better. He gained the knowledge of black music and made it better. He loved everyone black, white and brown, everyone. RIP ELVIS

[@Norwegian733]

I dont like the image that he "gained knowledge" as it sounds like he went to the poor section of town and took notes and went back to make music. He grew up with it and it was a natural part of him. He grew up in the "black community" with that influence as a kid.

[@cinmarksx]

great reaction great video. thanks

[@lynette.]

His roots was dirt poor and he never forgot.

[@docbearmb]

He might have bought Graceland but he sure wasn’t born there.

[@ericschl.1996]

Mr.Video, Elvis has passed away but will never die is true and accurate cuz as Brave and Powerful and strong man have said as long as my name is echoed after my bones have turned to dust and my name remains on the tongues and lips of man I shall be remembered in my name in Life Will Echo Through the Ages as we do with Elvis and so many great people who long since gone are still talked about and remembered and thank you for saying the kind things you have said about the Legend & True Brother ... " Elvis Aron Presley !"

[@lovelylori1085]

RIP Elvis!!! I cried watching this because of the painful racism people had to endure then and now. Elvis never backed down to these racist fools and stayed true. Much love to all 💖

[@jamesellis701]

There wasn't much racism in society, the racism came mostly from the government , which it still does today

As long as he is remembered for his talent, his humility, his generosity, his love of his fellow man.. he will always be with us.. so thank you for remembering one of the greatest.. RIP Elvis

I love the line God made us all. I agree with that. My parents taught me that you treat people the way you want to treated. so if you want respect you have to give it also.

Elvis himself said “There’s only one King, and that’s Jesus Christ. I’m just an entertainer.”

[@harp376]

Amen he new it

[@donwon3110]

Amen and Amen.

[@rebeccawyse5562]

Excactly...he did Not want to be called King at all.

[@krissanders987]

That’s odd. Thor is only king I know. A Magic Palestinian rabbi who tortures ppl for not having curtan religion, tells you to hate your family and friends and only love and worship him.. Still after 2,000 years endorses and sanctions slavery, rape, looting, genocide and child genocide. Forced marriages and stoning the females I’f not virgin. That doesn’t sound like anyone who is deserving to be worshipped as a king nor God. Elvis I’m sure if he would have researched and studied his indoctrinated Abrahamic religion his parents labeled him under has a infant, he would been smart enough to not fall for his indoctrinated beliefs. Got to remember all these ppl back then whom was racist, we’re extremely religious. The Bible literally endorses and sanctions owning ppl as property that you can beat and pass them to their offsprings to own forever. It’s an divisive and racist book, but clergyman and religious apologist try their hardest to cherry pick and re-interpreted 80% of the doctrines to not make it sound so barbaric and evil to keep ppl in the religion, in the churches full, so they make millions off the ppl wanting a promise of a life after death. It’s all a scam, And humanity’s longest going scam.

[@donwon3110]

@@krissanders987 Dude its You who have been lied to by what ever devil your listening to JESUS CHRIST IS WAS AND WILL ALWAYS BE KING wether you like it or not. Elvis was a smart man you are not repent of your sins and give your life over to God before you die and realise what a fool you've been.

Elvis was born and raised in poverty in the Great Depression South. He absorbed that culture, the music of an impoverished community. As a child all he knew musically was gospel, blues, rhythm & blues, and country. He could not have been other than who he was.
