new fan here in 2023 ....beautiful!
I am not a Barack Obama fan but this man did an absolute fantastic rendition performance of elvis' IF I CAN DREAM 👍🎶✅️💥
A lot of people just dont get the ''Black Elvis' thing- crazy when you think Elvis grew up listening to black gospel music and rhythm and blues. If you miss that about Elvis you dont understand his cultural importance. Colbert is doing the same thing in a sincere and loving way.
This is an amazing performance so full of symbolism...just awesome.
There's only one Elvis. But the message of this song is still and MLK speech is still relevant. This version is well done.
I would love to see him in person.
This is perfect, BlackElvis..outstanding
Fantastic!
I don't care what colour he is black or white what does it matter he got style and great voice well done bro god bless
I subscribed until I heard mlk's mouth.malcom x . the man. I white boy
Absolutely fantastic! What a great song, what a great performance and what a great video. Keep it up, Colbert. Class
One of the black singers that Elvis was more influenced by was Roy Hamilton and black Elvis 's name is Colbert Hamilton .....hits the bull's eye 😎
Yeah, he looks like the true Scot!!
BRAVO
👏👏👏
I don't look at the color of a person's skin is. I think that he has a good voice and as long as he does it in a good way I rank him with alot of others.
There will never be another Elvis but, as long as people like him sing his songs he will live on forever.
Moving, brilliant and the most creative thing I have seen for long time by an Elvis act
Cool Colbert and very historical as well. Elvis would be honored.......He was the reason this song was written for Dr. King and the reason the producers' original plan to end the special with a Chirstmas song was squelched. He asked that this song be written to reflect the tragedies of Bobby Kennedy and Dr. King. He was devastated by Dr. King's murder in his adopted hometown of Memphis...bt
This was very very good!
WOW ...LOVE IT
There only one Elvis he not here anymore R.I.P Elvis he sing like Elvis
Its very good Colbert. I applaud your Black Elvis work and I know Elvis would be super proud. I cant really put Obama on the same page with Dr. King though. He isnt anywhere close.
I personally think this is one of Elvis Most Touching songs. And you nailed it Buddy. I can really feel your love. I can see that you put your soul into it. You may not sound so much like Elvis. But you sang it with all you heart. And you got a great voice. I'd love to see you Live! Do you do any Concerts in Los Angeles or near Los Angeles? Cause you're worth every penny. I need more of you. You're great. Do you have a Facebook account?
Looking forward for your answer!
Anyway, keep up the great work. Much love, God bless.
Your Fan.
Hi Mirko you can find me on Facebook under the name Colbert Hamilton
WOW!!!! This man can sing!!!!
Excellent Colbert!! Great job. B-)
This was uploaded in 2009..... before anyone really knew or even cared about whom he was and what he goes for.
Now we know, and we are mad.. just enjoy the song gee whiz
Beautiful rendition of if i can dream the more i hear colbert the more i want to listen to his msic.
Colbert you have the power in your voice to be yourself, find yourself, Elvis, was Elvis, a tremendous performer, love by millions,
Phenomenal job !!! Thanks Black Elvis !!!
Para o Pai Eterno Somos todos iguais
🙏
Good job man....tcb
@KLUNKET I'm sure you're right, but it's a gimmick for Colbert and it gets people to stand up and take notice of both him and of Elvis' music. Colbert has definitely made his own name for over 25 years with both the Hell Razors and the Nitros, who were and are PHENOMENAL bands, and now he's doing the Elvis schtick, but in his own voice. It's just a little twist on the typical impersonator bit.
This may seem silly, but why do we need a black Elvis? There was only ONE Elvis, and he was a very good man who cared about people regardless of color or ethnic backround. We are lucky to have had the one Elvis that we had. I have never heard of a white Ray Charles! In my personal opinion some of the BEST entertainers this world has ever SEEN were black, Ray Charles, Louis Armstrong, Sammy Davis Jr., B.B. King and so many others. I think this is a talented man who should make his own name.
I agree with you!!!im a black guy!!!
Uno más en la historia era ya no es ???
We are all created equal, no matter the color of our skin, we are all human beings, go Colbert! Just remember be yourself!
amen to that
The title insults Elvis . He would NOT have been a supporter of obama and his policies.
Wow, great version👍🏻
Awesome
Hello my friend, may I call you friend? With all do respect, I would like to say, rise to fame, Elvis camed, and left us a tremendous legacy, we shall all remember him, and his wonderful voice and music, He is no longer with us, but he is in our hearts, so rise to fame with your wonderful voice and leave all of us your legacy
Wow!
ELVIS WOULD NOT HAVE SUPPORTED OBAMA. Elvis was a strong gun advocate & owned over 30 something guns in the 70's. He even owned a Thompson sub-machine gun & an M-16. He and his guys all had permits to carry their weapons, & Elvis would occaisonally perform a show with a gun tucked in his boot. There's no way in hell he would support anyone or legislation telling him what kind of gun or how many he could own.
Elvis was not himself in the 70s. His voice was greater but pills, whiskey and overwork had messed with his mind..
Unfortunately, poor ol' Elvis would be forced to support 'vaccines', proxy wars, and 'climate change' and it would have destroyed him to be a stooge for his masters.. I'm glad he passed when he did, before all this present-day insanity. He now serves the true Master in Jesus, His KING. Elvis, I know, would detest these times.
Though I have NO respect for obama, YOU are an impersonater of Elvis not an imitator you become him, I can close my eyes and picture Elvis when you sing, it's just beautiful!!!
This song was the one Elvis did because of the death of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy..He would love to see how far we've come.
Genuine
Great...
Congratulations from Brazil
a tribute to obama? this guy is sick
wow
SUPER ELVIS ++++++++ HalLeLuYAHshua ++++++++++++++++
AWESOME...great tribute to Obama..If you stated Trump...I would have reported you..
Why state any, they're both and all chosen puppets.. the sooner society realises that sovereignty and democracy are dead, the sooner we can go about getting those vital values back.
Any relation to Roy Hamilton?
a nation is a division....
This man is no Elvis! Elvis had his vocals that no I seem come close ...this man can sing but not A Elvis ! ..don't compare......
Great song rendition and video, although, invoking or trusting in a SELECTED president/puppet, who really presides over nothing much, is an exercise in futility. Power to the people, and to truth, freedom, sovereignty, and democracy- all these things that we neither have nor won't have for much longer if we don't awake from the coma. Nothing has been random since 2020!

Osama... ugh
Huh??
Nice tribute to Elvis and Obama tho
Did a good job but, really like most tribute artists it's really like listening to "Elvis Lite".
Pelo menos ele não veste aqueles macacões horríveis
GIVE ME A BREAK !
Lol
HA HA THIS IS FUNNY RECLAIMING THE TRUE BLACKS WHO ELVIS PARROTED!
Name one black artist who could have the versatility of 'parroting' what Elvis did? That's at least 5 genres to choose songs from. Elvis sang songs from Frank Sinatra to Chuck Berry to Al Jolson to CCR and more besides, and improved on many of the originals. The 'stealing' from black artists accounts for maybe one era, Elvis had close to 25 years in the business with such diversity of songs and styles that no one, of any hue can match. BTW, I love many of the great black artists, and so did Elvis.
Tribute to Obama? No. A kick in the ass but not a tribute. That aside, nice job on the tune.
An insult doing a tribute to this piece of crap that destroyed America. Nothing against the singer, he is great.
