    Lyrics:
    [Verse 1]
    There must be lights burning brighter somewhere
    Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue
    If I can dream of a better land, where all my brothers walk hand in hand
    Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true, oh why
    [Verse 2]
    There must be peace and understanding sometime
    Strong wind of promise that will blow away the doubt and fear
    If I can dream of a warmer sun, where hope keeps shining on everyone
    Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear
    [Bridge]
    We're lost in a cloud with too much rain
    We're trapped in a world that's troubled with pain
    But as long as a man has the strength to dream
    He can redeem his soul and fly (He can fly)
    [Verse 3]
    Deep in my heart, there's a trembling question
    Still, I am sure that the answer's... answer's gonna come somehow
    Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle, yeah
    And while I can think, while I can talk, while I can stand, while I can walk
    While I can dream, oh, please let my dream come true, oh, right now
    [Outro]
    Let it come true right now
    Oh, yeah

    Elvis was my dad’s absolute favourite. All his life he never changed. Elvis died on my dad’s birthday. Every year on my dad’s birthday, he would start his day by playing Elvis, and wouldn’t turn it off until the next morning. My dad recently died in July, and I’m going to continue the tradition of listening to Elvis on my dad’s birthday as long as I live.

Was I tears listening to this song straight away I was thinking about my father with his side burns that teddy boy look slicked back hair. That's power of his voice.

Many of them met him and loved him dearly...James Brown, BB King, Muhammad Ali, Sammy Davis Junior, Fats Domino, Jackie Wilson and of course many who worked with him as Cissy Houston and the Sweet Inspirations. Elvis has always been respectful and never a racist 👍🏻👏🏻

      @@benmoore42 Yes. Elvis devoted himself to film acting for quite some time in the 60s. “Although there were good songs and hit songs during the Elvis movie era.”
      But Elvis evolved in the 60's and 70's and accomplished many great things.
      In the 70's Elvis was crazy about concerts, playing big shows like Madison Square Garden and Aloha From Hawaii.
      He could do almost anything. Jailhouse Rock, if i can dream, its now or never, blue moon, surrender, one of his best songs, but there were many other great songs as well. I think Elvis' take on funk is perfection. "I Got A Feeling In My Body 1974". Elvis focused on country in the 70's. Elvis was a perfectionist in song interpretation and recording. His voice was deep and one of the most soulful singers. passion, heart and soul.
      Deep Purple's lead singer and frontman, Ian Gillan, a damn good singer in his own right, said: " he was the greatest singer that ever lived."
      Henry Pleasants, Classical Music Critic in his book “The Great American Popular Singers” (1974). Elvis had a magnificent voice and towards the end of his life, he enjoyed singing in a somewhat operatic style, displaying his amazing range. Opera star Kiri Te Kanawa told Michael Parkinson that the young Elvis had the greatest voice she had ever heard. The tenor Placido Domingo similarly enthused in an interview in Spanish magazine Hola in 1994: “His was the one voice I wish to have had.” Welsh bass-baritone Bryn Terfel told The New York Times in 2007 that Presley was: “very classically orientated with his voice and diction and very sincere and wanting to get everything perfect.”
      The australian Elvis Network there is an article called "the 50 voices of Elvis" and a lot of voice specialists (great) oppinion of Elvis. Pawarotti is on record saying " I can't sing as Elvis, but he can sing as I !" Elvis was not an opera singer and whether or not he could have been does not matter. What made him so different was not his so-called opera singer range but the utter freedom of his singing.
      "People will often say that opera singers sound too stiff and operatic when singing contemporary music. This is because the vowels in an operatic style tend to be more open, whereas in a rock style singers tend to thin out the vowel. There is nothing wrong, and everything right, in opening the vowel in the higher register so that the higher notes can be sustained. Elvis Presley was very open in his singing style even though he was 'the' rock and roller." - Brian Gilbertson, world-famous voice teacher
      Record producer John Owen Williams says of Elvis: "People talk of his range and power, his ability and ease in hitting the high notes. But the real difference between Elvis and other singers was that he could sing majestically in any style, be it rock, country, or R&B - because he had soul. He sang from the heart. And that is what made him the greatest singer in the history ​of popular music.”
      Only singer in music Hall of Fame Rock, Country, Blues, Gospel.
      "I taught him some lyrics in Spanish and he learned them. I wrote it for him the way it was sung (phonetically). He was very talented. It was very difficult Mexican music." --Manny Lopez, RCA vibraphone recording artist known as the King of the Cha Cha Cha, explaining how, under his tutelage, Elvis sang the Mexican standard, Guadalajara, (1963) in Spanish, like an authentic Mariachi, as published in Las Vegas' The Desert Sun, on March 16, 2007.
      Elvis' lowest effective note was a low-G, as heard on 'He'll Have To Go' (1976); on 'King Creole' (1958), he growls some low-F's; going up, his highest full-voiced notes were the high-B's in 'Surrender' (1961) and 'Merry Christmas Baby' (1971), the high-G at the end of 'My Way' (1976 live version), and the high-A of 'An American Trilogy' (1972); using falsetto, Elvis could reach at least a high-E, e.g, as in 'Unchained Melody' (1977), so, it was very nearly a three-octave range, although more practically two-and-a-half'. (George Barbel).
      In his voice, he possessed the most beautiful musical instrument, and the genius to play that instrument perfectly; he could jump from octave to countless other octaves with such agility without voice crack, simultaneously sing a duet with his own overtones, rein in an always-lurking atomic explosion to so effortlessly fondle, and release, the most delicate chimes of pathos. Yet, those who haven't been open (or had the chance) to explore some of Elvis' most brilliant work - the almost esoteric ballads and semi-classical recordings - have cheated themselves out of one of the most beautiful gifts to fall out of the sky in a lifetime. Fortunately, this magnificent musical instrument reached its perfection around 1960, the same time the recording industry finally achieved sound reproduction rivaling that of today. So, it's never too late to explore and cherish a well-preserved miracle, as a simple trip to the record store will truly produce unparalleled chills and thrills, for the rest of your life; and then you'll finally understand the best reason this guy never goes away. (Mike Handley,'The Jim Bohannon Show', Westwood One Network)
      On his live versions of songs like 'How Great Thou Art' (1975), 'Unchained Melody' (1976) and 'Hurt' (1977), you will be able to hear how high he can go; 'What Now My Love' really his true vocal power. (Cory Cooper on Elvis Presley's vocal range, as published February 4, 2005).
      "Even in his laziest moments, Presley was a master of intonation and phrasing, delivering his rich baritone with a disarming naturalness. And when he caught a spark from his great T.C.B. Band, Presley could still out-sing anyone in American pop. You can hear it here on inspired versions of Muddy Waters' Got My Mojo Working, Wayne Carson's Always on My Mind, Chuck Berry's Promised Land, McCartney's Lady Madonna, Percy Mayfield's Stranger in My Own Hometown, Dennis Linde's Burning Love and Joe South's Walk a Mile in My Shoes..."
      "Presley's voice was remarkable in the sense that, through it, he touched people in a way only great artists can do. (In fact), the people he touched are as diverse as humanity itself and, because of that his popularity has transcended race, class, national boundaries, and culture. There is no simple answer about why that is so, all I can say is he had that magic. - John Bakke, professor emeritus of the University of Memphis, in an interview with the US State Department, transcripted by UNUSINFO on July 18, 2006 on the legacy of Elvis Presley.

    • @Feeling-ie6cu

      Elvis is one of the greatest legends.
      1 out of every 3 records sold in the U.S. in 1977 was an Elvis record. If soundscan had been around, Elvis would have had no less than 40 albums on the hot 100 at the same time. The Beatles haven’t even come close to that.
      At no other time in music history in western culture did the sale of guitars ever explode or increase as they did when Elvis burst onto the scene.
      On Elvis’ records was where his guitarist, Scotty Moore, invented rock and roll guitar. Anyone who can read sheet music knows that Moore initiated the technique known as “power chording”. It’s an alternate chord figure that goes with everything. It’s mostly used by heavy metal and Punk Rock guitar.
      He didn’t write a song but his sheer raw performing talent, his phrasing of a song and ability to make a song absolutely his were all so extraordinary that someone like Chuck Berry - who was a legend and who wrote all of his own songs - still said that Elvis was ‘the best and the best there ever will be
      He became one of the most significant pop culture icons of the 20th century before passing away at the young age of 42.
      To this day, he remains the best-selling solo artist of all time, racking up an estimated 600 million to one billion in album sales.
      It’s not that he was the first to be associated with the term Rock and Roll; in fact, Rocking and Rolling had been around since the early 1900s as a descriptive of the spiritual excitement of African-American church services.“I don’t think there is a musician today that hasn’t been affected by Elvis’ music. His definitive years - 1954-57 - can only be described as rock’s cornerstone. He was the original cool.” (Brian Setzer)
      “Heartbreak Hotel” had a colossal impact - both on Elvis’ career and on rock & roll history. It was Elvis’ first nationwide hit after a string of regional successes, and it changed the lives of countless future stars - John Lennon, George Harrison, Keith Richards and Robert Plant have all proclaimed its transformative effect. Elton John, recalling the day he first heard the song, said, “That weekend, my mum came home with ‘Heartbreak Hotel’ and that changed my life. … Elvis Presley changed everyone’s life. I mean, there would be no Beatles, there would be no Hendrix. There would be no Dylan.” Paul McCartney once declared it nothing less than the most important artistic creation of the modern era.
      “On July 5th, 1954, at Sun Studios in Memphis, Elvis Presley, guitarist Scotty Moore, and bassist Bill Black were horsing around with ‘That’s All Right,’ a tune by bluesman Arthur Crudup, when producer Sam Phillips stopped them and asked, ‘What are you doing?’” Rolling Stone said. “‘We don’t know,’ they said. Phillips told them to ‘back up and do it again.’ Bridging black and white, country and blues, Presley’s sound was playful and revolutionary, charged by a spontaneity and freedom that changed the world. He released four more singles on Sun - including definitive reinventions of Wynonie Harris’ ‘Good Rockin’ Tonight’ and Junior Parker’s ‘Mystery Train’ - before moving on to immortality at RCA. They’re all here on a collection that serves as well as anything out there as a definitive chronicle of the birth of rock ‘n’ roll.” It’s notable Rolling Stone sees Elvis as having created rock ‘n’ roll.
      Brian Setzer, “Everything in popular music is a tribute to Elvis”
      Carl Perkins, “Everyone has their own ideas about what rock is. But make no mistake, The first time anyone ever did what was called rock-a-billy was when Elvis, Scotty and the boys started recording”
      Roy Orbison, “Elvis was the firstest with the mostest”…
      Dick Clark, “I know he didn’t write the songs but there isn’t anybody or act in rock and roll history that was more influential than Elvis” ca.1990
      “There are some songs only Elvis could sing” Dick Clark, ca. 1987
      Lennon, “Before Elvis there was nothing”
      Bob Dylan, “I don’t look at myself as a ‘poetic genius’ ‘voice of a generation” or anything like that, I just want to be Elvis”….as told to Ed Bradley of 60 minutes around 1997
      Bobby Womack black performer and producer, “Elvis sent a shockwave through the black community like nobody I have ever heard before. Now that’s power”
      B.B.King, “Elvis had an influence on all of us. They didn’t make a mistake when they called him the king”
      Glen Campbel, “Elvis is the best singer that ever lived”
      Writer of Mary in The Morning, “I think Elvis was the best singer ever”

      “I remember Elvis as a young man hanging around the Sun Studios. Even then, I knew this kid had a tremendous talent. He was a dynamic young boy. I was a tremendous fan, and had Elvis lived, there would have been no end to his inventiveness.”-B.B. King
      “He was a unique artist, an original in an area of imitators.”-Mick Jagger
      “He was just amazing and spectacular. He really opened the door to my whole love of music. Because of him, and because of the choice of his material, I found Smiley Lewis [and] all those great singers.”-Robert Plant

      “Elvis Presley is like the ‘Big Bang’ of rock ’n’ roll. It all came from there and what you had in Elvis Presley is a very interesting moment because, really, to be pretentious about it for a minute, you had two cultures colliding there. You had a kind of white, European culture and an African culture coming together-the rhythm, OK,, of black music and the melody chord progressions of white music, just all came together in that kind of spastic dance of his. That was the moment.” -Bono
      “Elvis is the greatest cultural force in the 20th century. He introduced the beat to everything, music, language, clothes, it’s a whole new social revolution - the ’60s comes from it.”-Leonard Bernstein

Mainly due to how much marketing and advertising MJ did while prince was constantly battling record companies for the rights to his music. He'd often have albums released and people wouldn't know at first due to the lack of advertising. It's a shame too because prince was a much better musician and artist than MJ. He had a wider vocal range + could play all those instruments when MJ could barely play anything

      The black singer, Roy Hamilton, Elvis' boyhood idol could sing it just as good. Elvis would even be the first to tell you Roy could probably sing it better. Elvis, inspired by Roy singing style, decided to sound like Roy. Well, this song Elvis paid tribute to Martin Luther King after he was assassinated. Elvis was deeply upset. Racist people should not associate themselves with this wonderful man.

    All these years I knew of this performance but I didn’t know the song nor the significance of it. Thank you Baz for opening my eyes to the story of Elvis. As a black person, I was always taught to see Elvis as a thief of my culture and people but the movie (assuming it’s not fabrication) really showed me that Elvis was a beneficiary but not because he had malicious intentions but he was genuinely inspired by and honestly raised on that kind of music, so it’s the basis of his work once he got older. I don’t know if he sung this on purpose as a nod and tribute to Dr. King but if so, that just brings happiness to me. So many have lied on his name and legacy. I look forward to discovering more about this man.

      His motivation has been distorted for so long. He was so far from racist. When the soul legend Wilson Pickett had a stroke, Elvis sent his wife a blank check. When a young black lady he knew needed a car, he gave her a brand new one. Race was nothing to him.

This song really is not only the strongest of all of his songs in regards to passion and love for humanity, but it also was a major turning point in his career. He was such a strong person who found something else in himself and completely out did himself with this song. I also applaud Walter Earl Brown and Billy Goldenberg for writing such a tune.
