I'm watching your reaction again and again. You both have it down. You understand what he felt, what he was saying and what he was praying for. He was 💯 real, a Southern guy who was not changed by Hollywood. He stayed the same, even down to keeping his faith and singing Gospel.❤❤❤❤
I remember watching him do this for the first time ever on TV ! I was raised in his music and I raised my kids and grandkids and now my great grandson on his beautiful music ! He was my first love and I still love him today ! He recorded this to say his feelings for Martin Luther Kjng Jr and Bobby Kennedy murder
The worlds biggest star who felt it all slipping away, decided to do what he did best, Be authentic and use Gospel, Blues, Rock and TV to change peoples minds.
Your A good big brother brother your a good little brother brother I saw through my eyes your heart get opened through your ears..nice very nice Elvis was a great man..respect
The older members of the choir featured in the front groups are made up of members of Elvis’ original singers who performed on the original studio session. This is an historic recreation. Magic!
You two are so sweet with each other. So much love between you, bless 🙏 I grew up with Elvis from very young, my whole family adored him, I live in Australia but Elvis transcended all nations, race, culture, religion, he was all love! So happy the younger generation are experiencing his love!
A few months after his friend, Martin Luther King, Jr. was killed, Elvis had his songwriters write a tribute to Dr. King. They wrote If I Had a Dream so he could sing it on this television special. He meant every word in the song as you can tell by the heart and soul he displays.
You two men are so precious! I love your excitement for him. I am 62 and I have always loved him. Please share Elvis with your friends. Keep his legacy going! Don’t let his music die! I smile watching you two! Great brothers!
This song was written FOR ELVIS. No one else has ever tried to touch this song, because this is ELVIS. This is HIS HEART! This is ALL ELVIS! Another great reaction from the two sweetest brothers I've never met!! You guys are awesome! Thank you for promoting a love and deep appreciation of Elvis to another generation! I LOVE your reactions!
The song was Elvis' reaction to the news of Bobby Kennedy's assassination that lead to the creation of the song "If I Can Dream," a tribute song to Martin Luther King Jr, featuring direct quotes from his I had a Dream speach. It is such a powerful and impactful song sung by THE most amazing singer in history.
This Song still rings true to this Day. It is a statement song and it was also in honor of MLK jr. and JFK. The meaning behind the song and you will see why it still rings true to this very day.
He did this song a few days after MLK was shot .he and MLK were great friends. In every song he put his heart into it . ELVIS was about peace not race . He broke the Race barriers . Elvis was a gift from God
Love you guys! Thank you for reacting to Elvis, he is the GOAT! Elvis was deeply moved by the times and loss of MLK. This song was written for Elvis by Mac Davis, it became a #1 hit.
When Elvis got through with that song, they said he fell to the floor and cried his eyes out. They had to take him to his dressing room to calm him down.
This song was aired on the 68 comeback special… what you watching the virtual Elvis with his TCB Band. They performed like he was there live…. It was done about 10 years ago… it was tribute.. Notice everyone is older… but it's still the same guys…. Elvis on the screen and they performed like he was live…amazing
Old lady here. Just subscribed. I fell in love with Elvis when I was 2. I remember everytime my mother would play his albums, I would dance with tears running down my face. I don't know why, I guess he just touched something deep inside of me. I was 9 when he died and up to that point, I didn't really know what heartbreak and mourning was. I learned all too well, too fast. I enjoy watching another generation fall in love with him and I love your love and respect for each other.
This song was a tribute to his good friend Martin Luther King who had been killed two months earlier. He asked his writers to come up with a song for him to sing at his upcoming TV concert. He scrapped the finale that was scheduled and sang this instead. He had to fight to do so.
Elvis had this song written for him for this performance that took place a few months after the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The song was inspired by Dr. King's "I have a dream" speech. Elvis thought we could all have this dream. Brothers are something special ...................................... Keep it up!
ELVIS PRESLEY could not help but pay tribute to the legendary activist Martin Luther King Jr in his 1968 Comeback Special with a truly heartwrenching song That was something that you failed to tell your brother in the audience where the inspiration came from to that song, and how he went against Colonel Tom Parker in performing it
It’s a big man who can admit their wrong and he a big man and can see that Elvis was a man who risked everything to spread love. God Bless you both brothers. Much love. ❤😊
Show all the young people about Elvis!!! That was my prayer to God when Elvis passed away. Please don't let the world forget him. He was a gift from God to us. His twin brother that died at birth gave Elvis dual strength in life. God Bless Elvis Aaron Presley and Jesse Garron Presley.
You too are funny! 🤣😅😂 I may be dating myself but, I saw this Elvis 68 Comeback Special and it was great. I think you will love this song. You've got a witness! 👐🏽 I see you've been reading up on Elvis because you know his middle name. 👍🏽 Elvis have been making people cry from day one.
Look if coming to America collection plate is going around my £200 is in my brother god is great and amazing 😂❤❤❤ love for real ,god keeps us strong and moving trust me xx
I watched this performance in 1968 when I was 17. I cried then. It was the last song performed on that night. It was amazing and still is. I am 72 and still love Elvis.
The song is about coming together as a society, as one people instead of the hate, segregation , racism and bigotry that exists. "I have a dream..." Martin L. King, 1963.
Thank you for loving my friend and helping to keep his memory alive. We were friends for 10 years met him in 1967 we both needed a friend and we were that for each other. I use to post memories of our friendship, and cruel people started posting nasty hateful thing so i will keep my memories to myself and never share them again they will stay tucked safe in my heart forever. This was a tribute to MLK and RFK. love your reactions so much. Love to you both God bless you from the one and only Memphis Tn.
@p.j.morris I am sure there are a lot of us who would love to share in your memories of Elvis. I love watching these two react to Elvis and see the love between them. It is heart warming. I would love to see them invite more in to learn about Elvis with them.
Personally I prefer the version without the modern choir. He also sang this song in his leather suit which is also amazing. You boys are wonderful, hello from Australia. 💕💐 Elvis’s greatness will never be matched.
It is great how they added today's music sound to the original backing group from the 70s. But does it mellow his voice a bit? You'd have to hear the original. and see what you think.
Elvis Presley gave the world everything: his love, his money (an incredible number of donations), his art. Elvis once said: "I share everything I have with everyone. God gave me everything so that I can make people happy and help. I am convinced of that"!
More people watched Elvis’s comeback special than watched the moon landing, let that sink in. Over 650 million people watched the lunar landing in 1969, but just one year earlier in 1968 over 1 billion people watched Elvis’s ‘Aloha from Hawaii’.
Love that you're doing Elvis❤ Never saw this version with the choir before, so touching. You should also react to Elvis and daughter Lisa Marie singing the Gospel song Where No One Stands Alone, a duett made after his death, as she was only 9 when he passed. It makes me cry every time.. Greetings from Norway.
This is a Incredible Performance, a real, true DROP THE MIKE....Performance for US ALL to Enjoy and Hopefully Truly Understand and even more Importantly Act On It!
Elvis fought so hard for this song and the acceptance of others as a whole. You’re not even listening to the original, either. Watch Elvis The Giver, and other videos of him talking about his feelings and such.
He sung this particular song at that very time in honor of Martin Luther King. Elvis had just heard either thru TV or radio that Mr. King had been murdered. Elvis went into a depression. He was sad for a very long time. If I Can Dream was in honor of Mr. King because Elvis loved and admired him so. The murder devastated him.
I'm watching your reaction again and again. You both have it down. You understand what he felt, what he was saying and what he was praying for. He was 💯 real, a Southern guy who was not changed by Hollywood. He stayed the same, even down to keeping his faith and singing Gospel.❤❤❤❤
Elvis BEGGING folks to stop hating l
🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹
Elvis had a twin brother Who passed away At birth and Elvis never understood why he was given the gift of life and a talent that people love.
I remember watching him do this for the first time ever on TV ! I was raised in his music and I raised my kids and grandkids and now my great grandson on his beautiful music ! He was my first love and I still love him today !
He recorded this to say his feelings for Martin Luther Kjng Jr and Bobby Kennedy murder

You go Little Brother! Your Preachin! You are right on!❤🎉🎉❤
It holds true today as it was then. We need to come together and love one another. ❤❤😊😊I love to two and your reactions.
You want him to know what a good person he was. Never forgot where he came from.
Your A good big brother brother your a good little brother brother I saw through my eyes your heart get opened through your ears..nice very nice Elvis was a great man..respect
“If a man has the strength to dream, he can redeem his soul, and fly.” Gets me everytime.
It's beautiful to watch and listen to you and your son 😊
RIP Elvis and MLK ❤

Martin Luther Kings death inspired this song
This was great - I hadn’t seen the singers and audience as much in other versions and this adds more to the performance….really great 👍

I did dare to come up with a top 10 list, and this Is #1.
This song was a tribute to his good friend Martin Luther King who had been killed two months earlier. He asked his writers to come up with a song for him to sing at his upcoming TV concert. He scrapped the finale that was scheduled and sang this instead. He had to fight to do so.
This song was wrote for Elvis to celebrate the life of Martin Luther King. A man he knowed and loved!

Beautiful song, by a beautiful man, but the song is a tribute to another wonderful man...Martin Luther King Jr, a man that Elvis admired so much.
When it comes to Elvis it's all about the soul
Listen to Elvis singing Just pretend you will love it.
Great review of The King - Elvis.

The song is about coming together as a society, as one people instead of the hate, segregation , racism and bigotry that exists. "I have a dream..." Martin L. King, 1963.
You got it!! He IS singing to each person individually!! He loved MLK,Jr. and believed every word he sang!
And Bob Joyce can sing that no one stands alone oh it touches your soul
Thank you for loving my friend and helping to keep his memory alive. We were friends for 10 years met him in 1967 we both needed a friend and we were that for each other. I use to post memories of our friendship, and cruel people started posting nasty hateful thing so i will keep my memories to myself and never share them again they will stay tucked safe in my heart forever.

Elvis’s greatness will never be matched.
for sure!!
I read the comments and cant believe no one points out this was a 68 tribute to Martin Lutger King.
You guys are Amazing❤
Thank you!!❤
@@iEight8, no thank you! 😘
Elvis sang this song for his friend Marin Luther King Jr
I was there, and the sound was mind blowing.. It was so well done with Elvis and recreated with the Memphis Symphony Choir.. It gave me tears!
Elvis on tour virtually! Audience is reacting emotionally even when he’s on a large screen some 40 yrs after he passed!
34 years after he went HOME. I was there for this in Memphis. He's not even there and yet the presence is! That's the reason he's THE GOAT. PEACE!
It is great how they added today's music sound to the original backing group from the 70s. But does it mellow his voice a bit? You'd have to hear the original. and see what you think.
I honestly believe EP is an embodiment of Christ and was sent to spread the message, as crazy as that sounds.
DUUUUDE your lil brother had my CRYYYYYYYYYYYYYIN' HAHAHAHAHAHA He has you down PAT man LOLOLOL
Wonderful to have your brother getting into Elvis!!
Elvis’s arm is like a pendulum. You boys are cute and sweet. I like your channel.
I'm loving your reactions and comments to Elvis Presley singing If I Can Dream!!❤❤❤😢😢😢
Thank you for understanding and appreciating Elvis ... there'll never be another like him ... TCB forever !
This is very special ,because ,Elvis's band ,back up singers ,and orchestra ,are paying a tribute to him
Also, I believe he did this after MLK was shot
Elvis Presley gave the world everything: his love, his money (an incredible number of donations), his art. Elvis once said: "I share everything I have with everyone. God gave me everything so that I can make people happy and help. I am convinced of that"!
Simply Awesome 👌
Great reaction! Can't wait for more!
Hey you guys I hear that church organ playing more than a piano☺️
… There are many good singers... but ELVIS is the „💎“ Diamond among them!! A millennium singer for eternity !! 🕺🏻🕯 Thank you
Damn boy's your eyes r amazing ❤❤❤
The church skit in the beginning got my subscription.
Great to see young people appreciating Elvis. There will never be another like him. He was unique. He had it all. Pure perfection. Great reaction.
Great job my young friends. I grew up listening to Elvis Presley because of my mom. This music brings back great memories.
the song was made MLK in mind....his version of "if I had a dream"...elvis was king of rock
More people watched Elvis’s comeback special than watched the moon landing, let that sink in. Over 650 million people watched the lunar landing in 1969, but just one year earlier in 1968 over 1 billion people watched Elvis’s ‘Aloha from Hawaii’.
KARIDENNIS 6154 ALOHA FROM HAWAII WAS IN 1973.
Love that you're doing Elvis❤ Never saw this version with the choir before, so touching. You should also react to Elvis and daughter Lisa Marie singing the Gospel song Where No One Stands Alone, a duett made after his death, as she was only 9 when he passed. It makes me cry every time..

Elvis fought so hard for this song and the acceptance of others as a whole. You’re not even listening to the original, either. Watch Elvis The Giver, and other videos of him talking about his feelings and such.
You should've done the original version with just him but thankfully sharing
He sung this particular song at that very time in honor of Martin Luther King. Elvis had just heard either thru TV or radio that Mr. King had been murdered. Elvis went into a depression. He was sad for a very long time. If I Can Dream was in honor of Mr. King because Elvis loved and admired him so. The murder devastated him.
We all ( most all) love Elvisafter watching him perform & listening to his never beatable voice.
You should listen to him sing acapello his voice is beautiful
ELVIS 👑 I'm dreaming of him right now. ❤ Please let my dream come true.
