This needs to be released nationally..Played on every radio station...❤... Elvis loved all...🤎🤍🩶🖤
I just subbed the channel because of Elvis , and the young lady who said that this song should be shown around the World on radio channels and TV commercials, everyday, it's really more important now than ever before , Elvis home Graceland is in Memphis TN and of course you know that is where MLK was assasanitsted, this was written especially for Elvis to make his message to the world. , he grew up in the ghetto and he never forgot where he came from and so when you say I can feel the emotion in his body and soul , well the answer is Obviously A fact , he always dreamed of getting out of the ghetto and never stopped searching until he made that Dream come true , but he never forgot where he came from, a shotgun house with no electricity or running water and he told his mama, One day I'm going to buy you a big house and a pink Cadillac , we'll that is exactly 💯 right what he did . Thanks for the great reaction to Elvis, stay on the ELVIS journey, can't go wrong. TCB 1935
This really needs to be released now
Yes released nationally
Exactly….why can’t we all get along
Elvis is the best, he was an activist when it wasn't cool. He was a fan of MLKjr. This was the turbulent 60's, MLK had been shot only 8 miles from his home in Memphis, Robert Kennedy had been killed , his manager didn't want him to do this song, he thought it would hurt his career. Elvis grew up in a black neighborhood he was very poor. Thank you for this awesome reaction, be blessed.
That part about the career thing with his Manager is not true ..... Colonel Parker did not say that ...... That is a rumor ..... But what he did say was he wanted Elvis to sing ...... White Christmas .... sung in the comeback show ...... Elvis did not ...... And asked the colonel if Blue Christmas would be OK and the colonel said yes .... And he grow up in a very poor neighborhood of all peoples ..... Not just black ...... As anyone that has nothing is poor ...... And in a ghetto
@@bign8580Not quite. Elvis hated the song Blue Christmas and never wanted to record it. Parker didn't want Elvis to perform any real and powerful music. He wanted him pigeonholed as a fluff performer so he could keep control of his cash cow. Elvis was offered the leading role on A Star is Born but Parker put a stop to it. He knew if he was accepted as a serious actor he'd be pushed aside... and rightfully so.
Phenomenal!! … Elvis has everything a singer needs: GOOD LOOKS, GOOD MANNERS, HUMOR, SEXY, a stunning VOICE... and above all an incredible CHARISMA!! ... He is still unsurpassed today and a singer for eternity!! ✨💎✨🕺🏻🕯 Thank you
Elvis was , and still is , and always will be THE MAN ...TCB forever !
Let’s Not Forget There Was No Auto Tunes That Elvis Pouring His Heart And Soul What He Believed In. Born Poor In The South Tupelo Mississippi In A 2 Room Shack. Didn’t See Color Treated Every One With Respect And Kindness, Never Forgot Where He Came From. Elvis Died At The Age Of 42 In August 16 1977. There Will Never Be Anyone Like Him Ever. Thanks Great Reaction.
Elvis said a minister once told him "whats to dangerous to say . . Sing!" His fan then, now & forever.
Fifty years later and this song is still appropriate.
THIS IS A SONG THAT SENDS A MESSAGE AND IT SHOULD BE LISTENED TO AROUND THE WORLD.
ANOTHER ONE IS.. 1970 LAS VEGAS / WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES / YOU CAN'T BLINK OR YOU WON'T GET IT... SO SHHHHH❤❤❤
And dont forget this is ALIVE no tricks
Hi,
I love your reaction to this song. You're doing a great job. Keep it up!
I saw a documentary about Elvis. After he sang this song, he went backstage, collapsed to the floor, and sobbed. His backup singers said they had never seen Elvis sing with that much passion. They were crying, too. The crimson red neckerchief Elvis wore represented the blood of every soldier who was killed in Vietnam at the time. And, to think his manager didn't want Elvis to sing this song. He wanted Elvis to end this tour with a Christmas song. Lucky for us, Elvis got his way. 🎶
Nobody sang with more passion and emotion than Elvis... nobody.....
Little Richard: "Elvis Presley has given us more than any politician in the world"! James Brown: "Not only was I a fan of Elvis Presley, but we were brothers"! B.B.King: "Elvis always came over to us. He was one of us"! Chuck Berry: "Should I say something about Elvis Presley? Elvis is the greatest, Elvis will always be the greatest. There will never be anything greater than Elvis Presley"!
It was s tribute to Dr. King and Robert Kennedy who were both assassinated in 1968
When he walked off stage he was crying...it was a true heartfelt moment for Elvis
The Colonel didn't want Elvis to sing this song. But Elvis had this song written and he layed down on the floor and curled up in a fetal positiin and sang this song. But Steve Binder the director told Elvis he didn't care how food the recorded song was he had to song it live, no mouthing. Elvis sang the song with all his soul and after he was done he almost passed out. That is how it affected him. When Elvis sings a song tears flow. Never be another man with so much compassion. Thank you for sharing.
Elvis didn‘t write this song, but this song was written especially for him for this 1968 Comeback Special from Walter Earl Brown. Elvis made this song to his own and was meaning and feeling every word he sang.
A lot has been said about Elvis's influence on the song being written but it's a bit of revisionism, at least according to the writer, Walter Earl Brown. He said he was asked to write a closing number, given no particular theme, and had no idea what he was gonna write. This song came to him, he wrote it and second guessed himself. He assumed Elvis wouldn't even like it for the show and thought maybe he could sell it to Aretha Franklin or someone. He was surprised that Elvis liked the song and was happy he sang it.
I can't believe that there are people like you ..... That read something someone posted and did not fact check it first ..... Binder did not tell Elvis shi!!! ..... Nor did Elvis lay down on the floor in a fetal position Elvis was going to sing it live ...... Binder did not control that Elvis did ..... It was Elvis's message to the world ..... No-One had to tell him anything ..... Elvis was never going to pas out ..... Elvis NEVER cried with this song or any other he sang ..... The Colonel did not care if he sang it or not .... All the Colonel wanted was Elvis to sing White Christmas ...... Elvis asked the colonel if blue Christmas would be OK and the colonel said that would do ..... Your spreading rumors and people like you should not be able to post anything tell you learn to think ..... And untill you do ..... Leave Elvis alone ..... No Brag ..... Just Fact .....
You’ve touched my heart with your reaction. I’m at the age where I had the opportunity to see Elvis perform live in concert when I was 9 years old.
I company my mother and sister to his show. Elvis didn’t think he would be remembered once he passed. And it touches my heart, to see young people like you discover him and to see how his music affects you.
You have just witnessed a devastated Elvis singing out his soul to honor his assassinated friends, Dr. Martin Luther King, and Senator Bobby Kennedy who was also a fierce fighter for human rights and equality. Watch the video "Elvis Presley and the Black Community" and that will give you an good idea of how Elvis fought his heart out for the innocent downtrodden.. He grew up dirt poor and hung out with African Americans who loved him as much as he loved them. He was a force for good, and it hurts to see him called a racist. He was a courageous fighter all of this life. I love that man.
Elvis was the best! Any song from Aloha concert.
THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS❤️ Elvis inspires you to be a better human being❤️ You bring me and other Elvisfans a lot of Joy and Love❤️ Welcome to the Elvisfamily..It is filled with LOVE and FUN❤️😉
Everything in this performance has a purpose. The song itself was written by Earl Brown, inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King’s speech I Have a Dream. The song was written with Elvis in mind & it’s a tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Mr. Brown was aware of Elvis love for Dr. King. He also knew that Elvis was devastated by the news of Dr. King’s assassination (less than 9 miles from Graceland, Elvis‘s home). The white suit was also worn to accompany the song’s dream for better days. At the time, the conflict in Vietnam was heart wrenching. In remembrance, of the lives lost during the Vietnam war. The burgundy colored scarf Elvis wore around his neck was for them.
Great reaction! WE❤U ELVIS!
Here is 2024 & the words still hold true today. This song shld be played more often. It makes u have hope in the world which is in the crapper.
1968 is the year MLK Jr was assasinated which affected Elvis deeply. He respected and admired MLK greatly.
It was also the year Robert Kennedy was assassinated 2 mos. after.
This is one amazing song! Love your reaction.
Great person and performer no one like him
I think we are all people, race has nothing to do with it. I am a white female and I consider you a friend. Our skin may be different colors but we all the same on the inside. I subscribed to support you my friend. I hope others think like we do. Yes I love Elvis’s music. The best is the 70’s Vegas.. you will really enjoy Love me Tender from then. You will die laughing. Good luck with your channel.
OK I’m watching you because you’re watching Elvis. Suggestion watch jail house rock from the movie jail house rock it’s a musical production from the 1950s. Also react to Polk salad Annie live Las Vegas 1973 as well as suspicious minds live Las Vegas 1973. That’s it for now I’m gonna watch and see if there’s any more Elvis videos coming along. God bless you young man and thank you.
Great reaction with smart words!
I subscribed on this video. I hope that you will continue your Elvis journey. He was a special man and an entertainer that will forever be the one. Great reaction. TCB
This was also the reaction that made me subscribe. TCB for Elvis!
I think you would like Elvis 1970 version of bridge over troubled water❤❤❤ 1970 version is best!
Elvis was saddened by the death of MLK and Robert Kennedy.He loved everyone regardless of skin color.
The G.O.A.T
Dr. King was assassinated on April 4, 1968. This was Elvis’s 68 Comeback Special Which aired on December 3, 1968, eight months after Dr. King’s assassination.
@willow0828 - And Robert Kennedy was assassinated just 2 mos. after on June 6th.
Amazing song
I have listened to this song a million times and it still gets me emotional
All Elvis wanted was for everyone to come together
Didn't matter what color you were
Great reaction
If you want to see the real Elvis
Can you please react to
Elvis and the black community
Elvis was raised in the black community
Elvis loved people and loved God
Elvis didn't see color
Thank you for reacting to this song
He also did a bunch of fun movies where he sings multiple songs of course. Nothin' compares to Elvis in G.I. Blues, in uniform. ooommmggg!! I don't see anybody else doing his movies, maybe you could be the first!
1970 Las Vegas -Bridge Over Troubled Water a must ✌🏻🇺🇸
As great as this performance is, and it's one of the greatest,we must never lose our National Anthem. Ever!
Bombs bursting in air refers to the war of 1812 when we were attacked at Fort Henry by the British. As they bombed us our flag still stood never touching the ground. If we hadn't defended ourselves we would be a colony in slavery to Britain.
Listen to the comment above!
Racism at that time was mind blowing.
Maybe you already know it, but Elvis would not put up with it.
You'll get my sub.
SOME BACKGROUND INFO: As per the producer-director of the '68 special -- Steve Binder -- Elvis, Binder & others were together in the studio when they heard noise coming from the TV in the next room; it was the TV news broadcast that Robert Kennedy had just been assassinated. Binder, Elvis, et al sat up until about 4 a.m. talking about the turmoil in the world at that time w-Elvis expressing his thoughts & feelings. Binder asked songwriter Walter Earl Brown to compose a song based on those discussions. The song is notable for its similarities to Martin Luther King’s wish for a world of peace and harmony. The red tie was for the blood shed in Vietnam. See the video "Gates of Graceland: Secrets of the '68 Special" for the entire story of the '68 special, + all the other Steve Binder video interviews regarding the culmination of the song & the entire making of the special. Binder, now 92, was the most upstanding, ethical person in the business, along w-Marty Pasetta, producer of the Hawaii concert & ingenious creator of that ramp from the stage so that Elvis could get to the audience.
I suggest that you do not continue to break into the song & talk for such long periods of time. And THIS song in particular is one that needs to run through uninterrupted. You're killing & destroying the performance. There's a time & place for everything & talking here is not it.
Watch the video Elvis and the Black community.
I'm with you young man
I'm a white 55 year old man from England and i agree with everything you say
Nice reaction to this beautifully sung tribute to MLK and RFK. Elvis really did mean every word from his heart. I love both In The Ghetto and this one so much.❤❤❤
This was a Tribute to MLK but it was also a Tribute to Robert Kenndy who both was assinated in 1968 it is filled with alot Emotion and facts what a beatuiful tribute to both men
Thank you!
now,try what now my love live from aloha from hwai 1973.😢
I'd love to see you react to Marty Robbins "Big Iron". Thank you for reacting to this suggestion! I knew you wouldn't be disappointed! Also Johnny Cash "Man in Black"!
How are you doing?
Deb
May i suggest some of his gospels. They will touch your heart
You should check out a 12 minute documentary of Elvis in the black community very enlightening God bless
Love the song! You are very cool, too. How old are you? Great job!
This needs to be the National Anthem......instead of all those songs about war and bombs bursting in air......that crap is just to keep us all wanting war....and the big bankers making money on the lives of our service people. This song makes my heart just fall out. This man has so much passion and I felt every word of it. Thanks for giving this a great review.
I always felt that way...they want blind,, dumb, faithful servants out of us all. Feed the beast. April 7, 1775, Samuel Johnson said "Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel." in regards to what Johnson saw as the false use of the term "patriotism" by William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham. Patriotism starts at home by helping your neighbor or fellow citizen, and bringing people together, unlike the politicians and rich who control the media messages and divide and conquer the people in order to split up the profits and spoils of greed and power, while stepping over the dead bodies...
Mikal you are so cute and I love your personality ❤
How about TROUBLE / GUITAR-MAN MEDLEY 68 special. It’s 🔥
You should try Tom Jones ill never fall in love again
📌Hey do a reaction to 2022 Elvis biopic..you’ll see how the song came about and back story..plus get a crash course on him🔥
React to F1 helmet cam
try Man in black by Johnny Cash you will love it i am sure. great reaction by the way.
This kid has no idea what this song is about
You interrupt way too much and at all the wrong places. At least wait until a phase is finished. And when a song is obviously building up to something, let it get there.
You talk way too much!
U are talking to much and pausing the song to much
You talk TOO much!
