THIS IS A MASTERPIECE. He loved MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. And he loved MEMPHIS! It literally broke his heart that he was killed in Memphis. After the performance, he went backstage and cried like a baby! Nobody can ever say that the KING of ROCK and ROLL, ELVIS PRESLEY, was racist in any way! He embraced all people...black, white, yellow, red, and brown! He was a fantastic person, fantastic entertainer, and just a fantastic human being! In my opinion, one of the most talented people that ever existed! HE WAS THE KING OF ROCK!

TIME TO SEt IT RIGHT PEOPLE ..... It was recorded in June "68" ..... But it was the same Month Bobby Kennedy was assassinated ..... As these assassinations have become too frequent ..... BUT NOT ONLY ..... John Kennedy/Martin Luther King/Bobby Kennedy ..... BUT ALL THE People in the streets/And lots and lots of soldiers of wars Vietnam the latest at that time ..... An obvious ploy to keep power and control to one corrupt group of ti-rents ..... {{ Hence the Killings of these Icons and heroes taken from us }} ..... So Elvis and people around him talked about a way to help the people understand through song ..... And it worked to a degree as all great things get controlled by the power grabbers sooner or later ..... There are great big power grabbers that control almost all the news outlets to the public all the way down to little tiny power grabbers that just try to destroy anything good they can ..... So comes the song written by Earl Brown ..... And it was performed in the 68" Comeback Special ..... What was first called the singer sewing machine special ..... It was sung Three times live in that setting ..... BUT ..... It was NOT just a tribute to the killing of any one of the three Icons in the 60's ..... { BUT TO ALL THE KILLINGS OF THE 60's ) ..... It really goes like this ..... There was a Great speech " I have a Dream " ..... Spoken by Martin Luther King ..... On August 28, 1963 ..... And there was a Great song written by Earl Brown In 1968 recorded by Elvis in June of 1968 ...... Martin Luther King spoke to the civil rights movement ..... Spoke of peace through his speech ..... But the song was sung ..... To the entire world of mankind ..... By the greatest singer of all time ..... " Elvis Aron Presley " ..... But/And instead this song was sung for the aftermath of what happened from that era of the deep state power grab and control over the peoples of the world ..... SEE .......... It was NOT only for one or two or three men ..... But to the world ..... It was all the trauma that was happening all over the Planet ..... Not just in the states ..... It was infect ..... Two not only to the Brothers and one leader of the civil rights Movement ..... But also to the people dying in that movement which was created by the deep state trying to hold power by causing conflict and the slaying of all said above ..... UNDERSTAND ..... And don't forget absolutely about all the soldiers lost in Vietnam reflected by the wearing of the red scarf as he sang this song with power from the heavens above ..... He sang it with passion ..... HE WAS NOT EMOTIONAL during or after the song ..... That is just someone's way of putting out trash talk ..... Just one of the little power grabbers doing their thing ..... {{ BUT HOWEVER ELVIS DID SING IT WITH ALL THE EMOTION HE COULD MUSTER UP JUST FOR US ..... {MANKIND} ..... Wiping it out with his soul with lighting as he was belting out for all to hear and understand ..... Pleading to us all ..... No matter how hard the Deep State Mainstream Media tries to keep us fighting among our-self ..... With all it's propaganda force fed one way TV news and radio information garbage ..... So they can control and tries to pull us apart through conflict ..... Instead ..... What the song stands for and means ..... As Elvis pleads all throughout it ..... Love one another ..... {{ AS THE SONG SCREAMING OUT WITH ALL IT HAD ..... {{THAT MANKIND IS THE GIFT }} ..... UNDERSTAND ..... GET IT WE THE PEOPLE ARE THE GIFT ..... {{WE ARE THE GIFT }} ..... AND WE CANNOT BE STOPPED NO MATTER HOW HARD THEY TRY ..... SEE UNDERSTAND YET..... i HOPE SO ..... AND DON'T YOU THINK THESE ICONS DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS REALLY GOING ON ..... THEY DID FOR SURE ..... And so no one else said it better or sang it better for/and to us ..... John Kennedy/Martin Luther King/Bobby Kennedy/People lost in the civil rights movement/The soldiers of Vietnam and all throughout time/ All of it ..... Senseless killings just for power and control ..... Nothing but unnecessary violence for no reason but for the corrupted ones in charge of the future they controlled at that time through the acts above explained ..... What we have now is ..... What we have left as the dust settles is ..... A great speech of peace ..... By Martin Luther King ..... And then Earl Brown's song ..... Sung by ..... Elvis Aron Presley ..... All shining lights from above ..... Just for us ..... God put the message right in front of our eyes ..... All we have to do is look .....It has been sung out for all time ..... As it is way past time to follow their words to come to fulfillment ..... As we the people are waking up to it all ..... As Nothing can stop what is coming down the pike for the evil ones destroying lives as if they were nothing ..... This is the true meaning of ..... "IF I Can Dream" ..... My you too will come to understand ..... May the cognition come to you too ..... Don't you ..... PLUS .....PEOPLE ..... People .....People ..... {{ He was NOT An Emotional singer ..... But he sure COULD sing it with Emotion }} ..... That is one hell of a big difference ..... HE DID NOT CRY ..... EVER IN PUBLIC ..... It is easy to claim something about someone ..... When they are not here to say yes or no ..... It is just a fabrication ..... Made up just to enhance someone's story ..... I don't care if Steve Binder or the 4 horsemen of the Green Bay Packers said it or not ..... It is easy to claim something about someone ..... An easy way to get fame coming your way ..... And now we have reaction videos and posting saying " It looks like he is crying " Or He cried backstage or any other silly thing of the likes of it ..... When you see moisture on Elvis's face It is not tears ..... { I know I sound funny when I talk if I have cried people know i was ..... Lead-alone keep singing Make no scene now that you think about it does it } ..... BUT BOY DOES HE SWEAT AND WHEN HE DOES SWEAT ..... SWEATS ..... NO TEARS COME FROM YOUR HAIR OR YOUR FOREHEAD IT IS SWEAT ..... WHEN HE SWEATS AS WITH ANYONE ..... IT Runs down YOUR FOREHEAD around his face around his eyes ..... Then down his cheeks and chin ..... Elvis sang songs with emotion BUT WAS NOT AN EMOTIONAL SINGER ..... He did not cry while singing songs ..... He recorded Exactly 769 songs ..... Had to practice them all at least a few times ..... Elvis was the top professional ..... He sang all the songs with Emotion ..... Even old McDonald ..... He was NOT Emotional ..... Not any song ..... Not this one ..... Not that one either .....That one either ..... 'right not that one either ..... NONE ..... Anytime you read or hear he cried is gossip ..... That is how easy anyone ..... "ANYONE" ..... Can start ..... Guesses ..... Opinions ..... Story's ..... Rumors ..... And Gossip being spread .... aberration's can grow ..... Even if it's about Elvis ..... He didn't do it after his beloved mother died in public ..... I don't think or see anything Elvis saw more Precise than her ..... Do you ..... If you or anyone else thinks so .....Then you don't know Elvis ..... THEN YOU JUST DON"T KNOW ELVIS ..... 1

I'm no Elvis expert and up until about a year ago, I wouldn't have considered myself a fan. My mom, who was a beautiful black Queen, loved Elvis. But, my Aunties thought Elvis was racist. My mom would defend him till she was in tears. If I'm being completely honest, I leaned towards my Aunties perception; which is awful because I based my perception of Elvis from the opinions of others. I've listened to and read enough to know that there was no way this man was racist. What's different in this performance? To me this is Elvis the man; not the entertainer. A man with a serious message. He wasn't wearing his usual stage outfit. There was no comical interaction with his band, backup singers or audience! This was 1968!! I can only imagine the criticism he had to endure from the white community! Unfortunately, being a little biracial girl in the 70's, I know that hatred! Awesome reaction!

Well said. You are learning about and experiencing the real Elvis. A man who loved his neighbour like the Bible instructs us to do. A man who bought his house keeper a house and would refuse to perform a concert if his Black beautiful back up singers were not allowed to perform alongside him! That's the real Elvis. Not a racist bone in his body. Myrna his Black backup singer said he loved everybody. 👍🇿🇦

I am a white Southern woman. I was 26 years old in 1968 and most of the white people I knew, family, friends and coworkers were extremely upset and horrified at the deaths of MLK, RFK and JF K. We were saying what is happening to our country.. Why is there so much hate? Contrary to popular belief, the majority of white people are not racist. One of the most profound statements made by MLK was to judge a person by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin. I truly believe that. We are all God’s children.

You have not even heard this song until you see the actual live version in the white suit, that aired on the Comeback Special in 1968. You must SEE Elvis perform this song to SEE how he felt. This song was written especially for him. I remember sitting spellbound, watching it. I was 14. :-) You also should watch Elvis and the Black Community, to see the man he truly was. There will never be another. Nothing could compare to his talent, and he was a kind, generous soul. A true legend! I'd give anything to sit in that coliseum and watch him live, just one more time. RIP Elvis. We will miss you always.

Extremely a very inspirational sound, with Words of extreme emotions of perseverance. This is the Most difficult Song to Master, and anyone trying to sing that song, will end up with a cracked Vocal Chord. That's why the only guy to have the guts to sing this Song is Elvis. Tying to sing a song like that is a nightmare, I tried and had to stop singing, because Everyone started laughing when the emotion of this song's words got too deep with higher notes. My Voice Cracked. It is an impossible Song to finish because of the emotional words. Outstanding Video and analysis, and great for giving Elvis the Recognition deserved for his Effort to popularize the Emotional Words.

Earl Brown was asked to write a song to replace White Christmas for Elvis' 68 comeback special which aired in Dec. of 68. Martin L. King had been assassinated in April and Robert Kennedy in June of that year. Elvis had been devastated by the loss of both of these great men. Earl Brown later said he wrote the song as a tribute to them. It has a very powerful message. For me, this song and the passion in which Elvis sang it was the original "Be the change you want to see." ☮❤✝ Y'all should really react to The King Is Gone by Ronnie McDowell. He sounds like Elvis but you can also hear his love and the pain of his loss. Elvis was his hero in a way. Both of these songs make me cry every time I hear them.

Forget Hounddog, Blue Suede Shoes even Love Me Tender. True Elvis fans know his roots in gospel, blues and R&B. During a time of racial unrest he was the most anti racist of all entertainers. A God fearing yet fallible man, he never forgot his poor, humble upbringing and was genuinely respectful to all people, For that reason alone he will always be loved by all. This song closed out his 1968 Singer comeback special and I cant recommend highly enough watching the entire show. Just stunning and more than one glimpse into Elvis's thoughts and personality.

Yea his live performances were on another level. Especially in 1969-72. Aloha was good and he looked great and healthy, but his demise began after that historic special.

Elvis has inspired many singers & musicians. He loved his family very much, he showed it many ways. He bought his parents a new home, called, Graceland. Elvis was so loving, good hearted, loved to give gifts to family & friends. My daughters & I just recently went on a tour thru the beautiful Graceland. It was wonderful to feel his presence & walking in his home, where he had lived with family, friends & where he rehearsed. You could imagine & feel him there. There was always music. We stayed at the awesome & beautiful “The Guest house”. We toured his personal plane, named after his daughter, Lisa Marie. We walked the streets he did. It was a great experience. Our daughters were born in the 60’s, loved Elvis & sang & danced to Elvis’s songs. They have passed that same love to their children & grandchildren. Elvis Presley is a legend & will always be the “King of Rock & Roll”. Elvis changed the World of music in his unique way, that we & all the World fell in love with.”

Yes you guys summed Elvis up perfectly! Until I heard this song I just thought Elvis was all R&R but this song truly shows his Gospel influence and Spiritual side that shows so much emotion in this moving tribute to MLK!

There‘s a video of this you should view. In it you can see all the emotions he places into this song. I saw this when it aired „live“ in 1968. I was 11 and had seen every movie he had made up to that point. Last time I saw Elvis was in Rapid City SD a few months before his death. He rocked the house! RIP

Please look up Elvis's childhood.... He literally grew up in the poorest black neighborhoods in Tupelo, Mississippi. His playmates were the black children. He never, ever forgot where he came from. He was deeply, deeply spiritual. His nickname all the way from childhood was EP.

Thankfully, growing up on Elvis, I learned what kind of person to be. I wanted to just be a good person. Kind to all. He taught me that. I’ve studied this man for as long as I can honestly remember. I don’t have a time I don’t remember him being a part of my everyday life. I was born in ‘75, so, I mean that. To this day, I can’t watch his last performance without bawling my eyes out. So, I try not to. I’ve seen Elvis 5 times, so far, and bawl every time for two hours AFTER it’s over. We lost a truly wonderful person and only wish that what we know now about prescription meds now existed then. Maybe we’d still have him. Want to feel his presence? Go to Graceland and I promise you will! It’s one of the most moving feelings I’ve ever experienced. I felt like I was wrapped in a hug by him. It was so strange, but so beautiful. I’m a very emotional person, though. So, y’all may think I’m crazy. But, I was not expecting it, at all. It was just so all encompassing, I’ll swear to it. One of the best days of my life. For sure. Rest in heaven, Elvis. You may be gone, but you’re never forgotten. Ever.

I remember when Elvis played a concert in Canada, and there was a giant banner that said " Toronto welcomes the King". A reporter asked Elvis about being called the king of rock-n-roll, or just the king. Elvis replied that he didn't know how that started, but Jesus is the real king.

A lot of people don’t know this was Elvis won three Emmys for his gospel music so there’s plenty out there you should try and find them. And yes his passion on this song gave me goosebumps. I’ve always been an Elvis fan but this song took it to the next level. Other songs to look for is Bridge over troubled water live and unchain melody live which was sung just before he died. Thank you for showing Elvis more people need to understand him and hear him more. Like you said he performance on white variety of different kind of music which goes to show it to his talents

You two are definitely a great combo and spotlighting Elvis will no doubt help the channel inasmuch, as I said before, he has both - in some senses been given his due - and yet, in others, not. As you both alluded to yourself, which was a spot-on and superb commentary, Elvis slides so effortlessly between genres, even into semi-operatic songs like 'Hurt' if you ever want to listen to the incredible notes he is able to hit on that. When, too, he is actually sold more gospel albums than anyone in the world. (though I suppose that may not be too much of a surprise given he is the greatest selling solo artist of all time and it's not even close, while the numbers verse the Beatles can be argued, but because RCA's computer blew in 1976, that's why we're left with that mess. (lol) While I also think his live version of 'American Trilogy' from the 'Aloha from Hawaii' special is perhaps one of the greatest live performances ever, especially because he knew he was live in front of half the world, at the time, and had to time everything meticulously so that it would be caught on the satellite feed. So pressure galore. But as to great rock n roll, which Asia was referring to, please pull up 'Elvis' 68' Comeback Special' and watch ' One Night w/You,' or 'Trying to Get to You,' which is masterful. As for those who say Elvis couldn't play the guitar, you can watch it for yourself and see that he was quite adept at it, although I'm not saying a world class guitarist, but because of that voice and other factors, he didn't have to be. Even though Johny Cash did call him the greatest rhythm guitarist he ever saw and I, quite honestly, feel that is because Elvis picked up so much of that rhythm and soul from his black friends growing up in Tupelo before coming to Memphis. I've also never understood the 'Elvis is a racist," comments, as from everything I know, Elvis - and most especially for being a southern white in the time he grew up - was the least race conscious person who ever lived and we could all learn a great deal from him. (In fact, he dated a black young lady for a bit in the 70s) As he literally bent over backwards to give credit to blacks who came before him and did so much for others who are also my musical heroes such as Jackie Wilson and James Brown. As he paid for Wilson's entire $40,000 hospital bill when he had his first heart attack and continued paying for his nursing care, but Elvis sadly died before him. While Brown, who is wonderful and used to go to Graceland to stand behind Elvis at the piano to sing, literally stayed for hours next to Elvis' coffin when he laid in state and had to be asked to please come out when it was time for the funeral. Saying all this, as people like you and Asia, BJ, combined with myself and others, can help put to rest this constant racialization that seems to go on in the country, one way or another, by loving one another!!! Inasmuch as I'm sure the both of you know, as well as me, that there is ONLY ONE RACE AND IT'S HUMAN. God bless you both!!! ~ Christopher Tyler

Yes ,this is a great song,for all it stands for . Elvis was amazing .❤️ I love almost every song he sang ,depends on the mood . But there are not many I don’t like . He has a song for every mood . And you instantly feel better . He saved me in my teenyears many times .😊If it weren’t for him . .. he was my best friend at that time . ❤️ Favourites are : Do’nt, something blue ,It’s now or never ,Indescribably blue ,anything that’s part of you ,such a night . It’s hard not to love them . Songs that are my favourites though ,

He was devastated when MLK was murdered. It wasn’t too far from Graceland in Memphis where he lived. He had memorized the MLK dream speech and could recite it by heart. Two months later Bobby Kennedy was murdered and he was introverted and found it hard to make speeches about his emotions. But boy could he sing them out. When he was rehearsing this, people watching said he’d become so lost in it he’d be in an almost fetal position with tears running down his face. He loved it and because it became so special & was written especially for him, he never sang it again. They put this on a record but they used this one. If you ever get a chance to watch the stream (on Amazon) or get the 68 Comeback Special on DVD , you’ll see him sing this at the end along with some other great songs during it. Ones in the black leather sitting and rocking it standing. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. It’s a beautiful song sung by a beautiful voice and by a warm, generous and kind man.

For the 1968 tv special, this was recorded live in an empty studio as nbc's retaliation to him standing his ground to do this tribute to dr. king & bobby kennedy..once the cameras went black he literally collapsed to the floor in tears as all the emotions he poured out through the song finally hit him.. Elvis grew up in the church & specifically in a black church that was near his home which welcomed hiim & his mother.. gospel music was his absolute favorite & he had the largest collection of gospel music in america at one time... the network was opposed to his doing this song but he had so much respect & admiration for dr. king & took inspiration from him he stood his ground & basically said no song.. no special.. the infulence of his church upbringing is so up front in this performance his wearing the white suit.. & he literally did take us to church with this Thank you for sharing such an honest & heart touching reaction with us check out his performance of how great thou art the best video version is of him in a blue jumpsuit from 1972

Elvis is quite underrated as an artist because so many people would rather tear him down than simply enjoy his music then there are others that try to exploit him so they can make a buck off of him. Two things that Elvis and his true legacy do not deserve.
