The song was a tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr., Bobby Kennedy & to the soldiers who were dying in large numbers at that time at the height of the Vietnam War. Elvis very much admired Martin Luther King, Jr. & Bobbie Kennedy was assassinated right after giving a speech following his win of the 1968 California Primary. While Elvis was rehearsing for the 1968 Comeback Special it was announced that Bobbie had just been shot (he died the next day.) Bobby was a big proponent of Civil Rights at the time & he also wanted to end the war in Vietnam; the price our young men were paying was too high. So so many came back with missing limbs, massive head injuries or in coffins. Elvis wanted a song that would lift people up at a time when there were massive protests on the streets following the deaths & a real sense that we had lost our way. Such a beautiful and powerful song. Thank you for your reaction.

WOW!!! What a LEGENDARY performance - STOOD the test of time. Could have be sung today. THE ONE SONG THAT WILL TALK TO GENERATIONS of YOUNG PEOPLE for THOUSANDS OF YEARS to come. If I Can Dream. czcams.com/video/u-pP_dCenJA/video.html Imagine the 1960s, race riots. JFK Shot Dead. RFK Shot Dead. Malcolm X Shot Dead. Dr Martin Luther King shot dead. In particular, the MLK and RFK assassinations affected him beyond repair and push him into action. There were MANY ROADBLOCKS to get this song to the public square. NBC executives said NO. Elvis' manager Tom Parker said NO. Sponsors and advertisers over at NBC who was supporting this TV special said NO. NOONE wanted to touch the subject of racism and human unkindness, but Elvis. In the end, Elvis won and got his chance, so he placed the song AT THE END of his show, right where they wanted him to finish with a Christmas song. Elvis had already agreed to the Christmas song. He was a deeply religious man, and would spread the Word daily. Soon as Elvis heard this song he said he was placing it at the end, the grand finale. Everyone was pissed. Except for Elvis. He changed the world. When it mattered, when IT REALLY MATTERED, Elvis did big things to bring people together. Typically he did these things behind the scenes, he never asked for praise for any of his generous deeds, which were MANY. But THIS TIME... for the first time he wanted to lend his voice PUBLICALLY. The nation was in mourning and fighting. Elvis saw a vision of peace and inclusion that very very few other people were seeing at the time. We are in NEED of his voice and vision TODAY.

This song touched close to home!

Maya comes across as a sweet, remarkable person, not just a super talented guitarist. Full credit to her family and friends. Please consider reacting to Maya's collaboration _TOOL - Forty Six & 2 (Live Session) / Maya and YOYOKA_ czcams.com/video/p-HPHfxzWaQ/video.html It's stripped down, live, one take. It's worth watching. They'd never played together, rehearsed, or even met before. It was the first time Maya played with a drummer. It was the first take. Stunning! Like they played together for years. Yoyoka doesn't block. Best Wishes. ☮ Maya's collaboration happened more recently than the AGT clip was recorded, but released before the AGT clip. Maya is 11yo. 14yo Yoyoka and her family moved from Japan to California 2022. Yoyoka is a remarkable drummer. One of her special talents is totally supporting the musicians she's playing with, and bringing everyone together. A great drummer for Maya to collaborate with.

STEVE PERRY WAS SINGING LIVE RICHARD SING IT LIKE FROM THE ALBUUM THAT WHY IT DIFFERENT I LOVE THE WAY RICHARD SANG IT TOO

The initial notes are Indian Classical Carnatic style then she blended it with Metal..incredible.!❤

The amazing Mr. Vasc . There is no one like him . Enjoy .

i like your reaction 😊😊😊

Just love this two guys

👍👍😍😍👍👍

전기기타소리가 이렇게 흥겨운건지 몰랐어요 최고다!

I swear to G**, if Steve Perry doesn't acknowledge this guy he's not the man I thought he was.

Can you please do I'm gone official music video by Nick nittoli nextttt

Playing Van Halen and just be ten yrs old, give her a Grammy!

Proud of you Maya . from India

Awesome cover

Keeping the Rock alive 🤘🏿

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Overacting reaction 😅

That guitar was actually gifted to her By Adam Jones form Tool. She also has a guitar form Gary Holt of Exodus/Slayer. She has jammed with Testement, the forbidden and the CEO of Gibson. Check out her 15 min cover of Tempest by tool.

Is she really 10.

Simon was about to say no, at the beginning because it was a indian carnatic music which western people including Simon cannot wven comprehend, but then she gave what the western people like ..... ha ha, ha....

GOTTA CHECK OUT MORE TEDDYYYY! Doesn't matter which one, can't find a bad teddy. I like soulful so my recommendation is X Ambassador, Teddy Swims and Jac Ross doing Happy People. Or his cover of Tennessee Whiskey.

Bonnie Raitt is original singer
