Elvis Presley - If I Can Dream ('68 Comeback Special) 

Brought tears to my eyes, it was so beautiful!

was amazing, movie was just incredible

I ran back home to watch this and cry more :')

Yes!!! It was perfection

Just got home from seeing this movie, Austin butler is tremendous in his portrayal of elvis.

Bien dit 👍🏻

Absolutely! And to think that Elvis thought and said that No One would remember him. If he only knew how untrue that is. 🙏🏻 Ps.. I just seen the Elvis movie and it was fantastic! I think Elvis would be proud🤗

@@Kittymay98 I’ve seen the Elvis movie twice already! Beautiful movie :)

@@CLSGL I totally agree 🤗I’m going again on Sunday with my sister and I can’t wait for her to see it and I can’t wait to watch her reactions on her face while she sees it 😻🤗

That and you can visit his house.

What a sweet tradition 😢 My condolences for your loss. Your dad will be happy and proud you keep on playing Elvis that special day ❤

@@elvis78ale thank you very much for your kind words. i appreciate it

​@@pks7618Make sure your son knows and appreciates the sentiment so that he wants to follow as well

Your dad is genuine person, and he'd see Elvis performance in the heaven.

Look I know a lot of you out there love Priscilla Presley and you don't like what I write about her she wants to give all herself credit for what Elvis became Elvis left it cuz she knew that she can help continue for Lisa Marie so all you haters out there thinking I don't like her I don't like her for what she did tell him is Presley know I don't like her I love Elvis Presley and Lisa Marie Presley they were the good people out of the bunch and his dad and mother TCB

i cried in the cinema during this scene

100%

I cried as well. Two different emotions and meaning in one song. Apart from his effort to put ppl together during the crisis thru the song, he also tells how hard and why is he dream kept taken down. He tried to let us know what he actually felt actually.

U aint lyint bruv

I get misty eye everytime I watch this. Because Elvis was truly talented and he left us way too soon.

E was a powerhouse. His later work was phenomenal

I love all his Gospel stuff.

Elvis recorded over 700 songs... his gospel songs are awesome too. This man deserves the title king of rock and roll. Amazing voice and talent.

Same here mad into guns n' roses Nirvana led Zeppelin seen the movie and it dawned on me why my father worshipped Elvis. I to was flooded with this song with how he stood buy his African American friends and how hung out with b.b. King. 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. I can't believe I'm only getting into his music so late in life. Straight up that's the power of the King💯❤️ I 🙏

​@@tonyfoley1778 his chameleon voice changed multiple times in his very very short life and career. his critically acclaimed recordings are in multiple genres of music.. an iconic artist, the likes of which may never be seen again.

ok agent K i see u

I agree!!! I wish I could ask Elvis WHY.. why did you never sing that song again?? I'm SURE Elvis had a reason. I'll ask him when I am in heaven with him.

He didn't sing this song very much because he said it took too much out of him to sing it

Amazing fact I didn’t know

And that’s why we feel this song in our soul

Real singing :) real music :)

And singing with his whole body.

Joe mama

AMEN..... R.I.P. ELVIS AARON PRESLEY... LOVE 🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🎶🙏😇 YOU MY ANGEL 😇 OF INSPIRATION...9/16/2022

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻I discovered him when I was 14 years old too... I'm 44 now and I still love him with all my ❤️

You have excellent taste in music. This man is iconic and loved around the world. Enjoy the Elvis experience. 👍⚡🇿🇦

Its exactly the same for me I’m 14 and I’ve never been too interested in him and after this movie it changed my whole perspective

I’m 17. I’ve been listening to Elvis literally ever since I was born. My dad is a lifelong fan!!

Welcome to the fanbase

Agreed.

Exactly!

all u have to do is watch and listen

For real. In the year 3000 people will still be listening to Elvis

❤ a very big community 😊

it is 2022 and our this younger generation is falling in love with Elvis all over again. I absolutely love it. Makes me so happy. Elvis would be so happy!

He will never be forgotten, he will live forever in the hearts of his fans old and new.

Every person has thoughts of the world continuing on without them. Elvis was a superstar but he was still a human like us.

Elvis is alive

Totally agree❤️

Me too

Me three x

Yep

Me, too. I hope that he win the Best Actor's Oscar.

Exactly!!!

His backup singers were crying after this performance. When asked why, one of them said "I've never seen him sing like that before. He means every word." And he did.

I agree except he absolutely cared about hitting the notes, because he nailed every one. Emotional power harnessed to phenomenal technique. The 1972 Hampton Roads, VA concert footage of "How Great Thou Art" rivals this performance. An old gospel tune given a rousing arrangement by Elvis.

@@johnhunter2294 it was the first time they worked with him mind.

@@flemit35 Was this with the Sweet Inspirations, Cissy Houston's group? You'd expect some great harmony from a group that featured Dionne Warwick's sister.

An American Trilogy from the Aloha Special, My Way from 1977 (Not Aloha 73) Bridge Over Troubled Water from That's The Way It Is and Elvis On Your are up there

But that helped make him a legend.

Who said that? The dumbmovie??? Get an education.

I hadn’t even heard this song until I saw the movie! Now it’s one of my favorite Elvis songs

I am 23 to and I think he is amazing to

My 14 year old is intrigued by him. Such an amazing talent and gone too soon.

OUI 🎼🎼👑👑😘😘

chill

I agree totally.

I totally agree

I've just come home from the film. Iove this even more knowing it was a rebelling moment. And the emotion for the night comes through perfectly. Such a fabulous tribute to both men.

One of? It’s his finest performance ever.

Talk about Powerful Watch his 1972 Performance Of "How Great Thou Art"

Elvis, at heart, was a gospel singer. The only Grammy he ever won was for Gospel. That album.was amazing

Most people are lucky to have ONE. Elvis had THREE, that's why he's the King

What’s a comeback?

This has always been one of my faves! Spirit of the 70s.

@@rickygarcha1311 It's like coming back after a break.

@@rickygarcha1311 when Steve Binder told Elvis his career is in the toilet..... then Elvis does the '68 Comeback Special, and sings If I Can Dream, and that puts him back on top and launches his career once again.

Never thought of it like that before but I 100% agree with you. It has everything. Perfect lyrics, singer, backing vocals, music, setting and sound. Truly awesome.

I reckon so.

This, along with Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman on “Time to say goodbye”

It’s true

It hits you to your soul, crushes you to pieces

Only Christ can redeem us ✝️🙏

@@Grantthecatholic Anybody can redeem himself

@@Grantthecatholic and therein lies the problem.

It was a cover

@@saqib7965 no it was not. It was written for Elvis to sing by one of his band mates.

@@saqib7965 "If I can dream" was written by Walter Earl Brown (and the composer Billy Goldenberg) for Elvis Presley. It was recorded by Elvis in June 1968 and was released to the public on the '68 Comeback Special. Get your facts straight.

​@@EleonorS Thank you

I love this song. It's my fav right now. ❤️❤️❤️

No one talks when the King is speaking or their will be severe consequences 😎

GFTNCF never for hundreds of years

Elvis

the king.

Absolutely, you ain't singing Dixie. The KING forever TCB ☇

Today, December 2nd 2019 I gave my passion for Elvis! Chilling at 1 am!

wonder if he still hits women now

@@stephenforster4756 maby you are.....🤨

yes I love this song I'm watching elvis in 20 20 I simply love his voice also his gospel CD s I simply love elvis

Only one above is king, Elvis words. God bless .

It sure does.He will be in 2120.

U got snowed lmao

YES!

Amen 🙏🏽

Yup!!! Full of Spirit and Soul! I get Goosebumps every time!!

I miss when America was United and not divided by the political parties. Let’s just learn to accept we all have our own preferences and get along with each other instead of being savages with an “us vs them” mentality #MakeAmericaUnitedAgain 🇺🇸✌️

It was way worse back then

One of the backup singers for Elvis was Cissi Houston, none other than Whitney Houston’s mother

Elvis would’ve been way too qualified to sing at a place like the super bowl, only mediocre musicians do

💯💯💯💯 Excellent point!!

@@MichaelJ44 Get out, ya serious? If true, that's cool - love little snippets like that.

That's because talent of his level simply does not exist in the music industry anymore. Elvis was, unfortunately, a once in a lifetime talent. I was born a decade after Elvis died but I am truly hoping that I live long enough to see someone like him reappear in the music industry before I shuffle off of this mortal coil. I'm not getting my hopes up based on where music and society in general is at right now.

True but our generation doesn't have the chance to see him in real life.

True 👍 😢

It's a deceptively difficult song to sing, and any impersonator's voice pales before the power that Elvis puts into this song. Best to leave it alone.

I’m with you on this….ok come on this is a masterpiece 🙋‍♀️👍❤️🙏

You’re right. Elvis was one of the greats. It’s a shame he didn’t spend more time after he got out of the army producing new music. It kept him from having the staying power that the Beatles have had.

@@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.

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” Trisha Yearwood, “You’ve got to be pretty bold to try and take on an Elvis vocal performance” “Elvis had an influence on everybody with his musical approach. He broke the ice for all of us.”-Al Green “Elvis is the best ever, the most original.” -Jim Morrison “Elvis Presley possessed genuine rhythm guitar chops” - Johnny Cash “Nobody can sing blues better than Elvis”. -Jackie Wilson, "Nobody can sing the gospel better than Elvis" -Mahalia Jackson “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 was the king. No doubt about it. People like myself, Mick Jagger and all the others only followed in his footsteps.”-Rod Stewart “You have no idea how great he is, really you don’t. You have no comprehension-it’s absolutely impossible. I can’t tell you why he’s so great, but he is. He’s sensational.”-Phil Spector “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders. And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.”-Bruce Springsteen “I wasn’t just a fan, I was his brother. There’ll never be another like that soul brother.”-James Brown “When I first heard Elvis’ voice, I just knew that I wasn’t going to work for anybody; and nobody was going to be my boss…Hearing him for the first time was like busting out of jail.”-Bob Dylan “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

aujourd'hui c'est l'anniversaire de ELVIS PRESLEY (86 ans) Lisa Marie Presley (y) ♥ ELVIS PRESLEY qui aura vendu 1 milliard de disques (au total) a chanté cette chanson suite aux assassinats de John Fitzgerald Kennedy et de son frère Bob Kennedy ainsi que de Martin Luther King, Jr.. #music paroles superbes (y) : (y) "There must be lights burning brighter somewhere Il doit y avoir des lumières qui brillent plus ardemment, quelque part Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue Des oiseaux qui volent plus haut dans un ciel plus bleu If I can dream of a better landSi je peux rêver d'une terre meilleure Where all my brothers walk hand in hand Où tous mes frères marchent main dans la main Tell me why, oh why, oh why cant my dream come true Dis-moi pourquoi, oh pourquoi, oh pourquoi mes rêves ne peuvent pas devenir réels There must be peace and understanding sometime Il doit y avoir la paix et la compréhension, winds of promise that will blow away Des vents forts de promesse, qui balaieront All the doubt and fear Tous les doutes et la peur If I can dream of a warmer sun Si je peux rêver d'un soleil plus chaud Where hope keeps shining on everyone Où l'espoir continue de briller sur chacun Tell me why, oh why, oh why wont that sun appear Dis-moi pourquoi, oh pourquoi, oh pourquoi ce soleil ne va pas apparaître Were lost in a cloud Perdus dans les nuages With too much rain Avec trop de pluie Were trapped in a world Pris au piège dans un monde Thats troubled with pain Troublé par la douleur But as long as a man Mais tant que l'homme Has the strength to dream à la force de rêver He can redeem his soul and fly Il peut racheter son âme et s'envoler (1) Deep in my heart theres a trembling question Au fond de mon cœur, il y a une question troublante Still I am sure that the answer gonna come somehow Cependant je suis sûr que la réponse viendra un jour Out there in the dark, theres a beckoning candle Là bas dans le noir, il y a une lueur d'espoir (2) And while I can think, while I can talk Et bien que je peux penser, que je peux parler While I can stand, while I can walk que je peux me lever, que je peux marcher While I can dream, please let my dream que je peux rêver, s'il te plaît laisse mon rêve Come true, right now devenir réel, maintenant !Let it come true right now Laisse-le se réaliser à présent Oh yeah ________ (1) Nettoyer son âme, se confesser, repentir..."

Tupac, Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Micheal Jackson are all far better. But Elvis is a bad man in his own right no doubt

He was told to sing another song by the dude who managed but he sang this song instead,,

He recorded this song two months after Martin Luther king was assassinated

Same. I cry each time. I found another that brings me to tears for some reason…it’s actually a beautiful, romantic ballad, but it gets me every time called Can’t Help Falling In Love.

first time i heard this song was way back in 1982 at a jukebox in a pizza bar and i was immediately hooked, and after every night of dancing until 2 or 3 in the morning when i ordered my pizza and coffee this is the song i always played sometimes 3 times in a row! yeah good times

Bro met Elvis the superhuman

@@johny1665 right, Elvis is a whole marvel character

You should cover this in the style of weezer.

when i was younger and hadnt heard much elvis before, i thought it was the case that he was basically just handsome and a good performer, but couldnt really sing or at least needed 'help' with his voice. But after actually spending about 5 minutes listening to Elvis, i realised that was completely wrong and his voice was insane!

I cried at the end, one of the GREATEST Movies i’ve EVER SEEN

Great movie

Austin butler's performance in the elvis Presley movie was incredible. He nailed it

Awesome, hope this is be a Oscar for Austin Butler

The ending was perfect

100 percent

Very true ay

The voice of the universe...

Though Austin Butler did a hell of a good job with his rendition of Elvis

As a zoomer, our generation of music sucks and we know it. Me and most of my friend group look to the past for good music because what's popular now is about as deep as a puddle and sounds annoying.

My kid who’s 12 now has been listening to him for about 5 years and now that Elvis is big again my kid says I told u mama he’s the best singer ever.

Well said.

Absolutely

yes!

R.I.P

I'm really happy for your father. Sorry for your loss. Now your father is watching live versions of everything Elvis ever sang. I hope you take comfort in that. God bless you my friend.

Sorry for your loss, your father seems like he was a wise man

So glad you were able to share that time with your father.@@amriubed8408

Yes talk about raking just an average song and making it an iconic classic. That's Elvis.

@@krispyk.1786 Me too. I was mesmerized by the way Austin captured the essence, the facial expressions and smiles and dance moves especially Vegas. We saw elvis at the international in 1971 and it was exactly the way the movie has it.

I'm so happy when people finally understand how much respect and love Elvis had for the black community. 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 👍🏻👏🏻

There's little things I can find wrong with movie. But Butler absolutely killed it. He will win best actor.

Damn well better

Best Actor --- for sure Best Picture -- yes, I think so Best Director --- why not? Best Supporting Actor (Hanks) ---- could happen!

Listen to Bridge Over Troubled Water here. Also american trilogy.

Enjoy the trip🇨🇦

THere's a lot of layers to Elvis's catalogue, make sure make sure you take em in right.

Listen to 68 comeback special which this is a part of! Baby what you want me to do in the jam session. Check that one out then get back to me then. Its fantastichze

Hadn't even heard of it until saw a BBC4 program 2 weeks ago called Vocal Giants and beyond with James Morrison and Beverley Knight. Maybe it is not well known enough to be so highly rated. Pity as very good song.

If we would all listen to the words of this song, maybe, just maybe this world would be a better place to live.

There are some things in life that cannot be explained.Why this masterful performance did not win a Grammy is one of them.

In our minds, his fans, know that it was one of his greatest performance in his career and that it deserves to be recognized as such.

I was 12 when he died, and I remember my mum and my granny crying over his death, everyone loved Elvis. He always seemed like a gentleman and a kind person, as, well as having an amazing voice.

Yeah. L

Elvis faked his death!

I just watched the movie a few days ago as well. What he went through has made me depressed. Austin Butler did an amazing job as Elvis.

❤❤❤ you are right 👍🏻

It has always been one of his biggest concerns

I thought the same exact thing

Hi Emily, how are you doing

I believe he was a fan of BB King too in Memphis

@Twin Flame Love Notes * Elvis can hear you now!!! God bless you🙏

Your comment is so interesting. In your heart you knew the truth, despite what people had said, because the truth always has a vibration that we know in our hearts and lies a vibration that bounces off us.

Amen! He had so much soul!

It rips my heart out -- and I think it would rip Elvis' out too -- whenever I run across someone who believes/was taught that Elvis was racist. He had many personal problems but no one needs to make the man worse than he was. Elvis grew up in a mostly black neighborhood, and all his boyhood friends were black children; he grew up loving black gospel and spirituals; he admired and supported black musicians; and one of his closest friends was James Brown. James Brown was the first person to arrive for Elvis' wake and always spoke about him as his brother. James Brown was a proud black man and did not kiss ass for any white man. I don't know why or how such an ugly rumor got started, or why so many black Americans believed it so wholeheartedly, but I've heard the "shoeshine" story and there's no basis for it. None. You can read in Dionne Warwick's book when she talks about meeting Elvis (her aunt Cissy Houston, Whitney's mother, was Elvis' backup singer). At the time Dionne was brand new to the music industry. The first thing Elvis said to her was that HE was a fan of HER music. Then he got on stage and told his audience to go buy Dionne Warwick's new album.

I felt that, and that's facts ❤🥹

At some of his performances, Whitney Houston’s mother was a backup singer 🙏🏽🇺🇸❣️

@@charlesbrown5505Yes!

The more I listen to it, I get a different feeling all the time, but I always sense he's putting body and soul into this performance... fantastic and very emotive...

@@murchuan8782 a lot of his movements is him actually conducting the band/orchestra. In some interviews some of his band members talk about how he used to tell them all to "watch me".

The very roughness, here and there, in his voice, and the subtle lack of his usual polish, showcases just how viscerally he was feeling it. A very honest performance.

keep in mind. today, the only people you'll find who hate elvis. who lie about elvis, are left-wing democrat voters. if you educate yourself, you'll quickly find that out.

Him and Prince are my top two performers of all time. Elvis help bring Rock n' Roll to the mainstream and Prince was probably the most talented performer to ever live (between his vocal range, dancing, all the instruments he could play at a proficient level, songwriting, and producing).

@@him8012 yeah I heard from my mom that prince could literally play any instrument you put in front of him, and of course his voice

@@patrickfoldy8426 it's true. Prince was huge in the 80s but was overshadowed by Michael Jackson..... 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

"boomers" I'm fucking dead 😭🤣

Even with the current commie rewrite of history. Funny how easy it is to smear in 2020s in YT videos. Anyone we love us a target. If I only heard If I can Dream, it would be enough.

Even though I just alluded to the 'Communist' like rewrite of his legacy...(Which was deleted) Good luck taking Elvis out. Our revered artists are being erased. Well we won't allow them to be forgotten. Rebels Without Applause - Morrissey.

I know right I'm Glad Elvis was able to get back on Top of the music world 🌎 with this classic Hit Song cause this Hits Hard but What Hits Harder was when he sung the American Trilogy now that song definitely Hits hard when he says his truth is Marching on.

Brothers walk hand in hand part?

It's always been relevant and always will be because human nature is to hate what is different.

Its very powerful. Makes me get tears everytime.

​​@@kshitijmittal91brothers is a christian reference to all the ones who are Believers.

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.

It's true he considered Dr Martin Luther King a true inspiration and never understood the whole terrible segregration isssues which were so prevelant back then.

He was definitely inspired to his core by the black culture and music he grew up around- 1000%

Another song to listen to is in the ghetto. He wasn’t afraid to sing it, he knew the truth behind the song.

@@tashaparker9427 “In The Ghetto” was actually over the closing credits of the film.

He sung this song after the deaths of Robert F Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King

Elvis didn’t write nearly any of his music but it is a powerful performance

Defo is Best song the pop stuff was overrated

🔥✝️🐑🕊🙏AMEN 🕊🕊🕊

@@bostonromero6299and most famous singers don’t do what r u tryna prove bro

Well said

@@patrickmonaghan3076 Amen

So true!! We love this performance!

Totally agree 👍🏼

@ victor henderson, very true my friend. He literally sang his heart out here, in memory and to honor a friend. A friend who only wanted peace. Ya Know, the Colonel told Elvis he had better not sing one gospel song but Elvis showed him who was the boss. To me this as gospel as it gets. Like you said, singing alone, one hand , Yes, I'd say Elvis got the message to us all. He was the absolute best and he always will be. Blessings

I couldn’t disagree with you the power of man is amazing

Forever grateful...he would be so happy to know his music is very much alive

This song sends chills down your spine ..powerful

Yes indeed.

"Deep in my heart there's a trembing question"

Come back MJ and Elvis

100% correct! At 70 I've been a life-long fan and this movie completely stirred me. His talent and compassion........

Honestly same, i loved his music before and now after the film I appreciate his amazing music even more

He was extremely exhausted seeing the movie made me Haye the Colonel more than I ever had and Tom Hanks nailed it he made me want to choke him I never thought Tom Hanks would make me f****** hate him in a movie he did a God damn great job everyone did their parts and they looked a lot like the original people from Vernon to his mama everybody they all look the same Red West and the little seen he was in they all looked a lot the same but Elvis if if you're a young fans and you don't know much the colonel really really did do him dirty and he picked him out young and he f****** did make everything in that movie is 100% true plus some

I love that movie. Even though I'm a 90's baby, I've grown to love Elvis Presley music

So true

@@jamestyson458 I was born in 06 and even though I didn’t grow up on him, everyone knew and knows who he is because he has a Bigfoot/UFO sorta mystique in pop culture.

Absolutely true. the movie prompted me to actually explore his catalogs and biographies. Incredible figure, probably the most important musician of modern times.

Calm down buddy, it's not Gandhi.

THANKS!!!

It was written after Elvis expressed his concerns for the future, which seemed uncertain at that time. He put so much feeling into it when he sang the words.

❤

Yep

Rip

2 the first take he didn't like the way he sound, false start, the call it. then he got it together on take 2

There us another take on youtube, therefore it is not the only one

True Man artice

Amen♪

I wan thinking the same !

Yes ✌🏼❤ July 16, 2020

Ask eminem about it.

I said that also🙏

Goodman

I say the song is truth pure and simple. We all want the same thing. On the outside we are all different. Inside not so much. We want these things yet over 50 years later we still dont have them. We are further away. Not sure how to find our way back.

Maga!

she has beautiful taste in music! god bless

That’s cute 😊

Awww

God bless their soul

She likely saw him live once or twice, my grandmother is 82 and a massive Elvis fan (she was in her teens when Elvis became the king)

"Elvis ain't dead, he just went home"! Tommy Lee Jones; Men In Black.

Radu devrait la chanter cette chanson ainsi que guetto ..avec sa voix cela doit etre un enchantement

Вы большой молодец! Здоровья вам!

Logging in as a 77-year-old. I concur with your assessment.

Vi viii.

Wow, never knew that. Elvis seemed so neutral on anything political, he kept his politics so well-hidden other than being photographed with Nixon

holy shit i've seen you trolling in this comments section but you actually taught me something, thank you

Wow. Thank you for sharing this.

Elvis was a man who loved deeply & like most people who FEEL he was tormented so deeply with life! I will always relate to and love this man! True Talent! Forever the King of music not just rock n roll but ANY TYPE MUSIC.......💜

@@MichaelJ44 thanks!
