I HAD TO PUT AN EFFECT THROUGHOUT THIS VIDEO AS WELL BECAUSE TH-cam KEPT BLOCKING IT BUT I HOPE YALL STILL ENJOY IT. AND PLEASE PUT MORE OF HIS SONGS DOWN BELOW THAT I SHOULD DO NEXT
A tribute to a king from a king!!
No you didnt. Nobody else does.
It's all good ☺️ TH-cam gets a little sticky lol
I don't know why TH-cam blocked it on your channel I've heard other TH-camrs play this song and there hasn't been blocked
No you didn’t. This song is reviewer constantly on TH-cam. I stopped watching -
Elvis once said that if he wasn't a singer, that he would've been a preacher
*cough Bob Joyce *cough

BS!
Truth he believed in Jesus

We’re trapped in a world that’s troubled with pain.
How true after all this time
BURN THAT CANDLE, WE NEED SOMETHINGS TO CHANGE SOMETIMES ❤
I have heard this song so many times and it always makes me tear up. He was a remarkable man, came from absolute poverty and grew up to love everyone. He sings a song called In the Ghetto and everyone would wonder how he knew what it was like to live in the ghetto but it’s where he started life. Truly the King!
thanks for wanting me to react to this and i will be doing more of his songs thanks again for your support
@@darealadogg you always have my support, your channel is great!
In The Ghetto was so long ago yet very little has changed.
Listen to the words of this song. Listen to the emotion he is singing this song with. He left everything on the stage this night.
Love you Elvis. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
His voice is priceless no one can never replace him & he was a very humble loving person color of skin did not matter . He believed we are all one in Gods Yes Amen Amen 🙏❤️🙏💙🙏❤️🙏💙🙏❤️🙏
There is also a great documentary about Elvis and black community.
He was an amazing man who stood up against racism and bigotry.
I think it was a concert in Texas where Elvis was informed that he should leave his, black, back up singers behind because they weren't allowed into the venue and Elvis said that if they weren't allowed in then he would cancel his concert. His back up girls sang there hearts out that night. The interview is in that documentary. I hope you have the time to watch it.
In the Ghetto is also a great song.
You should also check out his gospel music.
Great reaction, keep up the good workm
Nice 👍
Elvis is in all four hall of fames. Rock, county, gospel and R&B. The only artist to hold that honor. He has fun songs like patch it up and touching songs like love me tender. His voice suits every genre of music. I'd recommend steamroller blues from his Hawaii concert. It's fun to watch him do it. For a powerful voice I'd recommend what now my love.
I only can say you chose the right songs!
Great songs to react to!
Plus the Rockabilly
@@marybrant9586 yes as well as many others to include several karate ones
A gift from God! His voice reaches into the soul.
Elvis is one of the most recognized & famous people in music history, & no doubt, one of the most talented, however his heart & love for humanity, is his true legacy 💗💚💜 I wish with every fiber of my being, that his dream would come true right now!!! 💗💚💜 RIP **Martin Luther King** RIP **Robert Kennedy** RIP **Elvis Presley** 💗💚💜 3 amazing men, who tried to change to world for the better, & paid the ultimate price 😔
Don't forget the Beatles asking everyone to Give Peace A Chance and John Lennon's Imagine.
@@margaretnicol3423 You are absolutely correct, & I would never forget about them, however, my comment on this reaction, was in reference to this song itself, which was about, MLK, RK, & of course the singer, Elvis 💗💚💜 I hope with your comment, that Da Real Adog, will also react to those masterpieces as well 💗💚💜
what a pity Elvis didn't have the guts to turn up to the funeral!
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 Now that would have been something. However, Elvis knew MLK and funded the movement and was really cut up when he was killed. That's why he did the song. He couldn't attend because he was filming in another part of the country and ''The Colonel'' had him firmly under his thumb. I'm wondering if not going was the right thing to do. It would have taken away from the dignity of the occasion if some stupid young girls saw Elvis and started screaming and jumping up and down like they normally did when he was around. Not being there stopped that happening. What do you think?
@@margaretnicol3423
Hi Margaret,
I think that you are one of a very few who can make a sane statement. Nice work!! The song was originally written for his 68 comeback special. He Elvis later re did the song live and dedicated it to the late great MLK. Here is the problem I have. So many delusional Elvis fans, not saying you are one of them, keep making silly statements that Elvis went against the colonel. Even by your own admission the colonel controlled Elvis. There are only two occasions that Elvis went against the colonel. 1. was in the ghetto which was handed firstly to two other black artists before Elvis got his hands on it. and 2 was if I can dream.
Here is a post from one of Elvis's fellow fans.
Gooneress
4 months ago
He admired Dr King (some Elvis fans tend to claim that they were friends but there's no substantiated proof of this)
In any case. If that was your friend what would you do to be there?
Would you do as you are told or stop at nothing on gods grey earth to be there?
I know what I would have done.
pivotal
American Trilogy by Elvis always gives me goosebumps. It's 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This man was so great, no one will ever come close 💕💕💕💕💕
He sings we’re trapped in a world that’s troubled with pain. Thanks so much for this. He never sang it again.
Love me some Elvis!!!
My favorite Elvis song!! ❤️. Elvis was one of a kind.
I love Elvis
I remember exactly where I was when I heard he died and cried.
The world lost such a great singer and good soul.
I was 13 years old and just leaving the funeral of a family member. When we got in the car, the news was breaking on the radio. Talk about a double whammy.
It was about 3 months before my 16th birthday. I was watching tv in the living room when they interrupted with the announcement. I lost it and screamed NO at the top of my lungs. Mom came racing in but I was crying and incoherent so I just pointed at the tv. When they said it again, my mom collapsed on the floor beside me and there were 2 hysterical females sobbing heartbrokenly. She was the one who got me into Elvis because she played his music my entire life and had taken me to 2 of his concerts in 1972.
@@toodlescae I never made a concert and so sorry. I was 17. What a blessing for you. Thank Mom again!
I turned off the radio, rolled over and went back to sleep.
The Circus is waiting, zappa fan, you get attention, hahahaha
Elvis was something else. Elvis came from humble beginning s, he had a twin brother who died at childbirth.
The thing about Elvis was he loved gospel and soul to.
Elvis surrounded himself around all cultural backgrounds, he didn't care what people thought, this is the way it should be.
You have just scratched the surface there is so much more to Elvis everything he sings is with passion he was the greatest entertainer ever..
Nobody sang with more passion and feeling than Elvis.
American Trinity. I was 10 years old from the UK. Im 57 now and that song has stayed with me. So glad you found him.
The day a new fan finds out Elvis can sing,! It’s. Beautiful thing
That voice! The only thing I love more than the sound of his voice is the sound of his laughter. But, Elvis NEVER had any formal vocal training plus he couldn't read music, and yet he recorded more than 700 songs over a span of only 24 years before he passed away at the age of 42. ❤💔❤
It DOES seem like the MOST talented singer-musicians, were the ONES who COULDNT read music!! Not ONE of the Beatles could read music either!! And had NO voice, guitar, or drum lessons, except the bare essentials for a couple of them, from a family member!
Now you know why he was so loved an incredible voice and charisma.
Greatest live performance in history!!
I'm surprised that Sony/RCA has started blocking this. There have been literally dozens of reaction channels that have reacted to this over the last year or so that have neither had to put an effect on the video NOR edit the video to get it onto their channels. It's very sad to me that this has happened because this is one of the greatest performances of all time. This TV special marked Elvis' return to live performing for the first time in almost eight years. He had been primarily acting in a series of formula films (the same story with different settings and character names) since 1960 and was growing very weary of it. He had aspirations to be a serious actor, but the scripts he was getting hired to star in were getting worse and worse. Other than a handful of new albums during that eight year span, the only recording he was doing was the soundtracks albums for the films he was starring in. Since he couldn't find a serious role to play, he told his manager Tom Parker that he wanted to return to live performances and real studio recording. Parker arranged this special with NBC. But the producers of the special had a stipulation in their contracts that they and Elvis himself would have total creative control over the special, and Parker would have no say in the content. The special was to be shot in the summer of 1968 (a VERY tumultuous year in US history...think 2020 on steroids), but it would not air until just before Christmas in December. As a result, Parker had requested Elvis close the show with a medley of Christmas songs. In a rare moment for Elvis, he told Parker no, and he and the producers searched for a song with meaning to close the show. Martin Luther King had been assassinated in Elvis' hometown of Memphis a couple of months earlier, and Elvis had been deeply effected by this. Songwriter Walter Earl Brown wrote this song utilizing paraphrased quotes from MLK's legendary I Have A Dream speech. Then at the time the special was being produced, Robert Kennedy was assassinated in Los Angeles while campaigning for President, giving Elvis extra motivation. Several attempts were made at producing the perfect version of the song, including a studio version, a live version recorded during one of the four concert appearances filmed for the special, and a "live-in-the-studio" version featuring Elvis recording numerous live takes with the band on stage with no live audience. Finally, Elvis recorded one last take with nobody else in the studio except the camera operators, using a recording of the band and backup singers. That is what you see here, and this was the version used in the special. Elvis felt that this performance of the song was so perfect that he never performed the song live ever again, not wanting to try and top this version.
Nice overall view of the special...the only things I would add is that RFK was killed before they taped this show on June 6th, (53 years ago today in fact). The show was taped at the end of June around the 28th. It wasn't until they were in the final stages of taping, when they needed something to end with.. Parker wanted "I Believe" Elvis said no.And as far as the Colonel, no matter what he had negotiated at first ( A totally Christmas show). or how much he pitched a fit, he NEVER had any creative control over Elvis his entire career. Elvis, to his detriment, gave in to him out loyalty over the years, but he always had final say in creativity. Parker negotiated contracts, and sold merchandising. That's why he only got 25% of all songs, movies and Concerts. 50% from merchandising until 1976 when for the first time their contract was revised to 50% of all endeavors, which lasted only a year.
The only singer who sings with so much passion and emotion and the power in his voice , and a message to go along with it ,reaches deep down in your heart and soul, just god's gift to us
It was actually done in memory of both MLK and Sen.Kennedy
Both assassinated in 1968, the year of this performance
Kennedy was the President not a Sen.
@@waynegrieco9752 John F Kennedy was president,died 1961,Robert(Bobby)Kennedy was senator and killed 1968 with MLK being killed also in 1968.
@@stephanietip President John Kennedy was shot and killed on Nov 22,1963.
@@foofookachoo1136 PRESIDENT Kennedy yes, SENATOR Bobby Kennedy,no.
I told you. Nobody could match Elvis. Nobody. You want to hear his FULL voice. Listen to. What now my love. Aloha sound track. Mind blowing how good he was. Elvis was the best there is. Was. Or ever will be. T c b. Canada
I grew up in Memphis and Elvis was our star and he loved everyone.
I grew up in Memphis too.❤️
1968 Seriously phenomenal performance for a Serious time.
👑 King for King👑
Its magical , The king 👑, the greatest icon who ever lived in our planet. People will talk about Elvis Presley even in 1000's years from now.
they will talk about Hitler too.
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 Hitler..and whats your opinion about him ?
@@benjamins.5428 my opinion is not important. you made the statement that Elvis will be remembered 1000's years from now. So will Hitler.
Benjamin!! we have been through this before. Did you not state that 500,000 people visit where Elvis sis buried yearly?
The Circus is waiting zappa fan, you can learn something, hahahaha
One of my favorite songs and performances of Elvis. He said it was his favorite song. On one hand he was a deeply religious man and wanted the world to be a better place for everyone. He was a true Southerner, and loved all aspects of that place and time. We all have to forget the past, a time we didn't live, let it go, love one another and move on together. There's no point carrying burdens of the past with us to the end of our days.
He could sing! He is the G.O.A.T!
I grew up with him too but never heard this song at all till today! Thank you!
I'm surprised by that. Many Elvis fans consider this to be the greatest performance of his career.
@@larrywt656 Yep agreed if you don't know this one then you have not really been interested in him - no problem to me a fan of over 50 years but comments like his, and there are plenty across TH-cam just don't add up.
Well, could have something to do with me being under 10 at the time and him dying by my mid-teens but probably not as I was out all day playing.
@@mtnmagic1998 Probably a bit harsh on my part but so many guys (not you) use the phrase something like 'I have been a big fan of his for years' which means in actuality they know about 10 songs or less normally including Hound Dog, and Jailhouse Rock.
@@gorse9030
Yes, i made the same experience.
"If I Can Dream" is a
must imho!
I'm German and a fan since 45 years. And this songs hits me when i was 13 or 14 years old. Never heard and watched a more passionate performance before or since!
I never understand why some reactions have to alter the image and skip parts of the video because of copyright when overs are allowed to show the entire video contact and don't get blocked
i know right it took me 7 times to try and upload this video and they kept blocking it so i had to put an effect on the video and cut out some parts of the song and i hate having to do that
Ian back.
After watching a lot of reactors, I think utube block at random, some are fine some are not.
7 times he tried and was unlucky, so he had to do what he did, others have done this too...
Yeah why is that it spoiled it,song was skipping?
Wonderful Elvis, i love him❤️ No one better, ever!
Even pixilated it can only be Elvis Presley!!! But really, I just like to see the reaction in your face and eyes as you appreciate the phenomenon that is Elvis. Great reaction. Thank you very much. More please🙏👌💕
I'm so glad you did this song!! It needs to be played today! "In the Ghetto" is another one you need to react to.
It needs to be played everyday and on every radio station!
What a beautiful voice and he is the best singer ever
Thank you for the great reaction! Too many songs to list but here are a few.. How Great Thou Art, American Trilogy, Suspicious Minds 😊👍
Beautiful this brought a tear to my eye
Yes Elvis can sing that's why he's a legend definitely do more Elvis you can't go wrong thank you 😷✌
Beautiful powerful song the words Elvis sings it with passion love your reaction
I don't know if someone already said this but Elvis was asked to sing another song instead of this one, and Elvis just said "this will be my next song, I'll sing it and i'll sing it right now". Elvis didn't want to shut up and wanted to talk it through of this song at all costs no matter what. Btw i'm glad you loved the song, this had a wonderful meening
A tribute to Martin Luther King Jr and Robert Kennedy ❤🇵🇷🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏⭐💎👼☝👌👍🙋 Thanks for sharing god bless you,
I'm seeing this with Elvis pixilated out which is hysterical. Like people don't know what Elvis looks like. :-D
"We're trapped in a world of trouble and pain."
Whole lotta history you discover never make it to the ones used at school. Love learning what great things there where you never knew of. 🧡💯🦿
Elvis fan for life,,love from a small town in Virginia
I loved your reaction,such a powerful song and so much meaning....His gospel and Christmas music are priceless...BEAUTIFUL,ELVIS FOREVER
More Elvis! In the Ghetto, Polk Salad Annie, Suspicious Minds!!
Trying to get to you from the comeback tour
I love the song please don't stop loving me , by Elvis it was a love song awesome
"We're trapped in a world that's troubled with pain"
He gave away a piece of his soul in this song so powerful my all time favorite
i found this song and performance by Elvis a couple years ago, thru watching reaction videos. One of my favorite performances. Cool to see your reaction!!
That’s why Elvis was and is the greatest entertainer ever !! In the ghetto and American Trilogy ! Is great but any song that he did is great ! I was blessed to see him every time he was in Las Vegas !!
After all these DECADES I still can’t get through this song without tearing up. Just fantastic.
The goat
The king!👑🎙 a great reaction and a great Song!
Alright now! I NEVER get tired of watching an Elvis reaction video.
Love Elvis he was the man
The song is also dedicated to Robert Kennedy who was also murdered that year and the red tie he is wearing signifies all of the blood shed in Vietnam! If you are going to know what it represents you should know all of it! He also broke down backstage afterwards and couldn't be consoled for quite some time!
Here are a few more Elvis Presley suggestions that you should react to....
👇👇
1: American Trilogy (Live from Honolulu)
2: You Gave Me A Mountain
3: Bridge Over Troubled Water
4: In The Ghetto
Glad you got to hear the whole song. It is as powerful now, as it was then, for different reasons, of course. He did another 'socially aware' song. Check out, In The Ghetto.
This song makes me emotional every time. Not because I was there or experienced the turmoil and tragedy that was occuring but because you can hear and feel the pain in this preformance. It's raw, emotional and powerful. That's what a real artist is capable of, even decades and a whole generation later.
Side note. I read that he went backstage and cried at the end of this performance and I can believe it.
I love Elvis Presley since I was a child. I lost my father at a very young age and my Dads favourite Song was Dont Cry Daddy..... or In the Ghetto
One great hombre. I was in love with him since I was old enough to know who else was thanks to my grandma and day he died I cried for a month I was only 6 years old and I still tear up to this day ✝️❤️🔥✝️
Elvis! Elvis! Elvis!
If you want more subcribers then Elvis is the man.
Just watched your reaction right now
Welcome to the loving world of Elvis bro 😊 Great to have you on board 😂😊
Thank you so much 😊✌️
I loved Elvis.
everyone in america, and or the world should listen to this just once this one song period just one time what a message!
It's great to see an appreciative listener hear this one for the first time. It's a magnificent performance, all the way around. You maybe oughtta check out, "I Got My Mojo Workin'"! {Ya, cover of old Muddy Waters song written by Red Foster. Elvis did some good funk, too, '73-ish, with such recordings as, "If You Don't Come Back". Man, Elvis A to Z is ALL amazing! His lesser-known '50s stuff {One Sided Love Affair, for example} is also a treasure-trove of Great rock'n'roll.
R U kidding me... this was ur first time listening to Elvis...I've watched so many of your videos of Elvis... ..wow.. this was your first.... I'm blown away.
That's a tribute to Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy who were both assassinated!
A beautiful man
A tribute to a king from a king
Best comment yet
I love this song.
Elvis sings troubled with pain Elvis is the greatest entertainer that ever lived I’ve been an Elvis fan for 60yrs I was 24yrs old when he past away it broke my heart 💔I still miss him so much it hurts it would be great if you started to react to Elvis a few songs American Trilogy/ In the Ghetto /Suspicious Minds /How Great Though Art/ Don’t Be Cruel and there’s many many more Great Reaction Love from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻👑👑👑👑💔🙏
My way
Trapped in a world that is troubled with pain. Even back then he knew and tried to make the word aware of this.
Welcome to Elvis! Great reaction!
Listen to Moody Blue by Elvis. And also Rock A Hula Baby.
I get chills on this song
Great reaction.. in the ghetto by him is another great one you need to listen to
My mom has tickets for elvis Presley she got them for a show before he passed away she still has them
Gotta do 68 comeback special Trying to get to you...he kills it
Check out Return to Sender.
One of my all time favorites.
And Crying in the Chapel
Wow,, there's only 1 king.love from Sweden.❤️❤️❤️😱👌🙏😇❤️😱😱👌
Please react to Elvis singing Bridge over troubled water! Live
Two Elvis requests: First one "Polk Salad Annie" th-cam.com/video/u4csFnpZXek/w-d-xo.html gives an idea about Elvis' showmanship and mastering the stage. Second one "In The Ghetto" th-cam.com/video/2Ox1Tore9nw/w-d-xo.html is a deep one. Touching and relevant song even today
Yes! Do these!!
@@evabartlett4599 I love the song ‘In the Ghetto,’ but I hope it only requires an effect on screen, and not keep jumping, there are generations who have never really listened to Elvis Presley. it would be nice if they got the chance, through this channel. It was a shame that this record kept jumping so badly, some listeners (who don’t really know Elvis) may have thought the song really sounded like that.
Elvis sang the sexiest song I have ever heard called Such A Night. There is a video.You will love it and see how versatile he is.
Simple the KING 💯🇬🇧
If not done, to In the Ghetto. He was born in poverty in Tupelo Miss., His early years were gospel and he loved singing gospel throughout his career. He refuse to perform at venues that that protested his backup black singers. One call him 'boss' and he said 'no, it's brother'. He was a religious man, had an unbelieveable voice, charisma, looks and was "The King". he changed the face of music. Great reaction. Hard to believe his video is being blocked.
He know's you to Son just like myself God bless you 🙏 ❤️
Polk salad Annie by The King. Listen to it live
Elvis singing "Crying in the Chapel"
Check out the video “Elvis and the Black Community; The Echo will never die”. It’s s short Bio. Elvis grew up in poverty, living in Tupelo, MO & Memphis, TN. His family lived in poor neighborhoods consisting primarily of black families. He sang gospel in a local Baptist Church. He songs are gospel, soul, rock, etc. . Check out “In the Ghetto” and remember that Elvis grew up in poverty.
Your Elvis reactions are excellent !
