The best singer of all times!
Elvis was the greatest frontman ever. Nobody had/has his voice, charisma and showmanship. To this day he´s "The King".
Definitely! He will always be the greatest.
+nico merker EXACTLY!!! Also the only singer who could sing everything, rock, ballads, country, blues, gospel, soul even opera, and also the only singer who had hits in every musical style, also the only entertainer whose concert were always completely sold out. I have seen him 5 times in concert when I was a kid and believe me they were unbelievable, nobody can do what he did.
Patrick de Vries Wow you’ve seen him live in concert 5 times? This is awesome.
@@patrickdevries6267 What a privilege. To see the greatest entertainer ever live, not once but 5 times. Wow, I tip my hat to you sir.......I'm not jealous 🤔
I'm jealous. I never got to see him once let alone 5 times. Way to go!!!!!
Elvis, forever.
This song put Elvis at the very top and nobody can sang this song better then the one and only Elvis 🙂
This could quite possibly be the greatest single performance ever!
cut1986 I agree!
I second that but all his performance were great
Like Elvis, this performance is timeless!
cut1986 absolutely
It is in my book
This song "If l Can Dream" by Elvis Presley is so very touching and such a powerful and an emotional song. Elvis sings it brillantly and puts so much emotion and feeling into this song. What an amazing performance sung by the Greatest Singer and performer on Earth, Mr Elvis Presley!!! Outstanding, RIP to the King of Rock and Roll.👍😊🙏❤🎵🎶🎸🎶
Elvis at his best
"No one comes close to this " is exactly right. He was the best.
Mathis is s great song . Only the greatest singer could do this song Justice. Elvis pours his heart out . This song still holds true to today .
One of the greatest stage appearances of all times for my boy and he deffo took it home in style, sleep well my super nova.
Nobody sang with more Passion & Feeling than Elvis.
Jared Howe I agree!
Just a brilliantly sung song that was inspired by that famous Martin Luther King speech ( I Have a Dream).
This single vocal performance must stand out as one of greatest ever recorded. Elvis ...in my opinion is probably the best singer ever put on a stage and that's why he was called The King.
You are right John. Elvis is the greatest singer of all times ❤❤❤😋😋😋
❤️🙏😊
Never heard anyone sing this song with so much passion. I saw him in concert in 1974. Will never forget the air seemed to change in the hall when he came out! Gave me chills!!
Becky Clutter Wow that’s so awesome! Thank you for sharing this story.
I can only imagine the heaviness in the air with just his presence. And then, he sings! Ha! Lucky you Becky. I missed my chance and have never forgivenn myself.
I Always hear that! That his energy is felt as soon as he enters a room!
No auto tune. The GOAT
Deborah Troyan Yes! Love it.
That's live.hi John,god bless you ❤🙏 amen.
Best song he ever did!
I would say this is one of Elvis Presley most powerful song with a powerful message to the world and to all races.
Fortunately, the race baiters left Elvis alone. Probably bc they knew the back lash they would've received from millions of his fans.
@@ireneduke5022 "the race baiters left Elvis alone" Nope. (I'm talking about actual race baiters.)
God was showing off when he created Elvis! 🔥
When we lost this great man a light went out in the world which since has felt like a much darker place
I definitely agree with you Steve. Well said.
I am still broken hearted and always will be at his early passing. A wonderful man,great humanitarian, so generous and the greatest most passionate entertainer that ever graced a stage! RIP KING ELVIS!
Best performance ever. You can feel his passion
John Lennon said before elvis there was nothing I'll say after elvis there's been nothing, elvis the GOAT
Simply the greatest
Song was written for ELVIS, for 68 tv special. Special still in memories...
John I happen to love every song Elvis Presley ever did
Elvis presley made you feel his music a lyrics.
Elvis your my King and an awesome Singer! I Love you 4ever! Amen!R.l.P.
It is the greatest most heartfelt performance ever. Unbelievable!!
Absolutely the greatest of all time❤🙏
Elvis sings this song from his heart and deep down in his soul! One of, if not my favorite songs and performances of his!
I've always said that this was, and still is, the greatest performance of any song by anybody, at any time, anywhere. End of discussion.
They broke the mould with Elvis. Inspirational giant of a singer and entertainer.
Best voice ever and the most beautiful man ever
Definitely. Thanks for watching!
Your right .no one comes close to elvis he is the whole package.no one like him or ever will be .
shirley carr Exactly! Thanks for watching.
Elvis Presley was the best singer the gorgeous a genious man who ever was. Besides Jesus Christ.
Elvis was raised very good by his parents. He was always very respectful to ppl. Elvis never forget his roots.
Incomparable. Period, the end, no better.
Go back 50 years from the time of Elvis and you will never hear anything approaching what Elvis brought to the World. It is now more than 50 years since the majority of his good songs and yet there is no one who can approach the one time musical phenomenon that was Elvis. The one and only King of rock and roll. He would be 86 years old now. You can also thank composer Walter Earl Brown for the lyrics and arrangement of this song. He passed away in 2008 at 79. He was the musical genius who gave this song to Elvis and Elvis gave it to the World. Fifty three years later it still hits you with a hammer. I am 77 and it still brings me to tears. If you want to hear another powerhouse song from Elvis listen to Tomorrow Never comes from 1970. It will knock you out! Personally, I was a combat soldier in Vietnam when this show aired in 1968. I had to watch it later.
No one ever looked this good. No one , before or since, has ever sounded this good. To look as good as you could sing is unfathomable.
ELVIS THE KING OF MUSIC, THE BEST SINGER AND ARTIST ALL TIMES
I LOVE this song! Brings tears to my eyes every time l hear it! Elvis was simply THE BEST. He sang this from the heart! So much emotion! Moves me! 😎🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦
Spectacular . ...just Fabulous
THE KING FOR A REASON.
MISSISSIPPI ELVIS JUNKIE LB I
I was just thinking the exact same thing. Probably the best performance ever!!!!
I loved Elvis white outfit... Fit him like a glove.
If Elvis hadn't had to hold the microphone, he may have lifted off the stage. Just phenomenal how his spirit felt his singing.
We miss the king of music.😢😐
You can feel the passion!! Elvis the GOAT!!❤❤
I believe Elvis Presley dream was to make a big difference to a lost a dieing world a bring happiness to everyone. That why he has so much stress on him he was always spending his time energy trying to make people happy.
I think he succeeded during the time he was with us.
What can I a say just a hot individual in every aspect. Will never be replaced
Glad to hear confirmation of my idea that Elvis' vocal dynamics is one of the things that sets him apart, along with the beautiful tones of his voice, and of course his spirit, soul and energy, all of which make his performances downright inspiring.
You can see he puts his heart and soul into every word of this song. Stunning performance. If anything was worthy of a Grammy this is it, but I guess they found something better in 1968...
HIS VOICE BURNS TO YOUR SOUL!!! TY!
One of my favorites,so much meaning...I hope that our dreams come true and one day we will all walk hand in hand....Elvis Forever
Anything by Elvis, I'm watching.
Heidi Brinkley That’s great!
Ditto
ditto too
This performance should be considered one of the best all time in the history of music...it don't get near enough credit as it deserves...it's a total shame younger people nowadays have no clue about this man named Elvis Presley and the many many many many talents and gifts he possessed
JETSTEEL TheRealDeal Yes definitely!Couldn‘t agree more with you. Thanks for watching!
We are pulling them in one song at a time
They hear, they stay.
Dd
For me is Elvis the most versatile singer ever, rock, ballads, blues, country, soul, even opera. That's unique! Elvis voice could attract you and force you to listen and make you float away and sway, even in his concerts. In concert after the song he throw then also a scarf in the audience and eveybody screamed! Amazing!!!
Yes! There will never be another! Thanks for watching and for this great comment 😊
Elvis will always be the best.He was, is, and will always be the best.He was the total package. Looks, voice, and charisma. RIP our dear sweet Elvis until we meet in heaven one glorious day.😊😊 Until then we'll keep you in our hearts.
FANTASTIC he will Always be the greatest.
Elvis put all He had in His music, he was a natural, singer, performer, He had unbelievable range & energy, He will always be The King!!!
This is the way I believe he was feeling 💯
there are no words to describe Elvis singing this song,,all I can think of is Heavenly
He totally throws himself into this song, it gives me chills!
I love Elvis. I cried like a baby when he died
Elvis was always gorgeous 💕💕💕
A live performance he did. Agree no one comes close to Elvis.
thanks a lot Mister gets and I really appreciate that man you got a True Heart of Gold I appreciate that that just made my day brother rock and roll baby this is Elvis TCB third son of Elvis Presley Elvis Presley International Graceland let's party
This was the only time Elvis performed this song! Because it was about MLK, he honored him by leaving this as his tribute to him.
When Elvis heard this song he on stage he was having a problem with it. The man that helped Elvis with the 68 Special. Everyone had left by now, HE went up to talk to Elvis he said this is a big song. They kept talking trying to figure it out the guy said this is an emotional song.. Let's turn the lights down get comfortable let's do this.He turned the music on it played Elvis talked his self into this. The lights were so dark. Elvis curled his self up in a fetal position. Elvis sung that song like a pro. I love that Elvis never run from a challenge.He turned the lights on and Elvis was on the floor.. Much Respect too Elvis . The World still Loves Him. ♥👑👑♥
This song just blew me away back when it first premiered on NBC. The message is just as meaningful today as it was when first aired on TV. Elvis continues to be the greatest entertainer the world ever had.
This song should be seen now all-round the world now.
This song, "If I can dream" was Elvis' deeply felt and cry out in response to The assassination of Dr.Martin Luther King, Jr. in Memphis, as well as that of U.S. Senator Robert Kennedy, affected Elvis Presley deeply. These feelings led Elvis to give one of the most passionate performances of his career.The song contains direct quotes from MLK and was recorded just 17 days after Kennedy's assassination.
Thanks for the comment! One of the greatest songs ever recorded
Thanks for that information. Didn't know it was just those few days after Kennedy's assassination.
Elvis had great courage to sing If I Can Dream back then & sing it with such passion, he really meant every word , thank you John 🌹🇨🇮
Thanks Bobbie!!
Oh, WOW!!! He always had it!
Elvis had it all as a performer..the voice, the looks, stage presents..women wanted him & men wanted to be him. Gone way too soon. He will live on as a young Elvis
So who would try to cover that song after Elvis sang it? NOBODY.
That's very true! No one has ever tried.
Celine dion did the duet with Elvis's hologram ... and I didn't like it
Barry Manilow did a cover of this song on the tonight show many years ago.
@@dunnbrooks68from your opinion, did he do it better? Just curious.
Irene Duke No one could come close to Elvis singing this song.
Elvis is my favorite, I listen to him everyday. I was 11 when he died and was devastated, I was suppose to have seen him in HartfordCT on Aug 21, 1977, I still have my ticket. To say he was the best is an understatement... There will never be anyone like him.. he had it ALL.
Wow that‘s awesome! I agree, there will never be another like him. Thanks for the comment!
Check out 1973 Steamroller Blues that was fabulous fabulous I appreciate someone at your age liking Elvis I will request more and get people to subscribe to your Channel
I read the comment many comments but Chloe comment really impress me she was 11 when he died that's pretty young she must have really got to know Elvis through his movies and her parents thanks to her parents because it's a cultural in enrichment I was born in 1952 I was little and I remember watching the teenagers go crazy over him. And I would like to share a little story with Khloe and whoever is interested. I really cannot remember how old I was my memories little Misty however I was pretty young and I had a little plastic record player which could play 45 it was blue and cream color and I remember my dad had a jukebox Box Vending Company in the south. And sometimes he would bring home extra records that were not put in those jukeboxes the various nightclubs. He handed me one and I put it on my little plastic record player and at this point I have never heard of Elvis Presley the title of the song was Love Me Tender and after I heard it I remembered it engendered a sense of romance in me all the way to my soul. Up until that point I have only known the love of parents but this night it was like an introduction to a different kind of love a sense of romance in my heart and in my soul and this 41 never left me. I went and I told my dad about this song. And I remember him saying oh my God you too. So I asked him what do you mean and he said this is Elvis Presley A New Sensation is the music industry. However I felt like I discovered Elvis first because I did not that he he was famous all I knew is I love this voice and his essence reached and touched me in such a unique way and this touch never left me
Beautiful memory@@janinefarris2748
There could not be a more complete artist!!!!!!!!
68 come back special,unbelievable,will never be anyone coming close to how good he was ever
Your Right John. 1 of the Greatest Song Ever Performed. Elvis. No one. But No One can Sing this like Him. So Much Feeling. I can go on and on. I Don’t Think any one can Touch this Performance. This will Go Down in History as 1 of the Greatest Songs of all Times. PURE GOLD. Again Thanks.
Thank you Pete!
One of my favorites. Nobody can make you feel the emotions of a song like the one only Elvis Presley
Feeling and meaning every word with every fiber of his body, a prayer and song to God and everyone for peace and love. Greatness.
It just reaches into your soul until you feel his passion and his emotions become yours. Unbelievably beautiful voice. Such a God gifted talented man. ❤️🕺🏻🕺🏻🎸
Absolutely!
This song makes me cry. I remember watching this when I was 5yrs. old during the 68 special on tv.
My Dad always said “it don’t cost anything to dream”
Yes!
Love the emotion of both Elvis's voice and John's reaction, you can't fake it, that's why it resonates and pulls at your heart.
Thank you very much ,🙏😊
My Fav song of the King!
There is nobody like Elvis ❤ I love this guy ❤Again Thank you very much 👍🏻🙋🏻♀️😘lots of love from the Netherlands
Elvis did that song for Martin luther king, Colenel Parker wanted Elvis did a Christmas Special but Elvis wanted to do something else, i am a Elvis Fan whole my life and there will never be another elvis
It's hard to ever pick any favorite Elvis Presley song this is in my top 5 if not number 1
He was such a brilliant vocalist nobody could top him in my opinion .. there are a few that come close like Tom Jones (look for I who have nothing live Tom Jones ) .. Elvis was a gift from God to this earth and I will never get tired of listening to him TCB
Agreed!
Elvis presley sung this song w so much love passion a Emotional feelings. It to was his dream that hope a love shined on every one Elvis Presley really speaking truth here a how God wants us to act toward our fellow man. Elvis presley was the one human being that walked this Earth in the 20 th century. That had the message that God has for all mankind. Elvis presley was always wanting his fans to Know. I'm no better then anybody we're all Gods children I'm no king I'm just a singer. Jesus Christ to me is the only king.
"Always feels like first time" when listening to this.
I don't know what magic it is, but it's the same for me. It's so heartfelt, it's like an outer body experience while he is he is giving his soul to his performance.
I used to listen to some of his classics, but these live performance songs are making me rediscover him.
Best voice, best song, best performance!
IS THE KING, ELVIS PRESLEY!❤️
Elvis Presley had some messages in this song. He sung w so much love heart a soul.
Elvis still the king ....from big !!! Fan from belgium 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Beautiful, Always & Forever, the one & only “ Elvis “ .!!
That's a great Elvis Presley songbecause it shows his different levels of his voice which is outstanding in like no one in the world has or probably will never have long live the king Elvis !
Not much to say he is the king and there will never be another one !
So much passion. ...he had a way of taking us with him on whatever musical journey he was on throughout his career. ..and of course his fans followed him anywhere he went on that journey. ...Elvis thought he would be forgotten. ....he is IMPOSSIBLE to forget..
Lynn Budge I agree! He is impossible to forget. Thanks for watching.
This my favorite Elvis song since 1982..... This is pure talent and charisma. And as you said...every time hearing this feels like the first time.. I wish people who think Elvis was that rocker in 50`s , check this out...
S K Couldn’t agree more! A song with a lot of soul in it.
Never get tired of listening and watching this great man the voice the legend. Nobody will ever replace Elvis , truly an original, awesome voice powerful voice with tons of charisma
And Elvis lives on into 2019 he felt connected to the song because that was the feeling in the country after the assassinations of MLK and RFK two weeks earllier
PoboyNCoke Thanks for the info! He puts everything he got into it. Love it.
It was also a tribute to the men dying overseas in what is now known as the most useless was in American history also known as the Vietnam War
@@johngibsonmusic you're most welcome. If you're searching for his finest hidden treasures, that you may not have have heard , dig into the sessions from 1969 "American sound studios in Memphis" Chips Moman was the producer. The guy has become a legend. They are the sessions where Elvis recorded "Suspicious minds" and In the Ghetto. There isn't a bad song in those sessions. One of my favorite songs from those sessions,is "True love travels on a gravel road" trust me and dig into those songs you haven't heard. You'll be reinspired. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Sound_Studio
There are no words to describe the incredible and unique voice, his charisma , simpathy and simplicity in reality, there could not be a complete artist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The best ever ❤
I live in America and right now with all of the division in this country. This song brings hope to me that we will recover.
