When I first heard this in 1969, I cried like a baby. Mac Davis wrote this for Elvis. I was 17 and not looking forward to my eighteenth birthday. Vietnam was raging and tearing the soul and the fabric of America apart. I was brought up in the projects, and I have seen this song play out more than once. Poverty breeds a sense of hopelessness which then turns to anger. I was almost beaten to death when I was six years old by a thirteen-year-old boy. He knocked out all my teeth and kicked me in the dirt like I was less than a human being.. Ya'll we have to love one another. Thank you for a great song that needs to hit the charts again today. I did go into the army and watched Vietnam tear our nation apart, and its soul is still wounded. This is your boy in Tennessee trying to spread the love of Jesus Christ. If we all lived for him and loved one another, hatred would stop, and there would be no crime.

@@user-rk4jx4zc5d AND he did all that was asked of him. He went on KP duty, guard duty, and field duty just like everyone else. Any soldier that could afford it would live off base. He was offered to entertain and not have to do those things, but said he wanted to be like every other soldier and not take advantage. Despite his fame, Elvis was always just one of the guys, Wiggison said. In fact, he inspired the other men to be better, stronger soldiers. "When things got tough," said Wiggison, "you could be out at night, it's cold and raining and you're on guard duty, and he was out there, too. If he could do it, that made me feel like, OK, I can do this!" "I want everyone to know," he said, "how good a person Elvis was. He was the kind of person I loved being around." And he smiles wide when telling the story of the time he was drafted into the military with the most famous person on the planet. The years he spent with Elvis clearly had a lasting impact. "He stuck with it," Wiggison said about Elvis. "He did his job as well as I did mine, and I appreciated that. It was great!"

His friends and family say he was even more handsome in the flesh . He had everything plus the biggest most generous heart . No one will ever come close or match his humanity regarding artists. Hence the most loved Artist EVER .

Yeah I know what you mean. He really was superb looking. He had everything really. But he never thought he was that great at all. He always put others above himself. And he really meant it.

Never again will there be a man with this voice, never again will there be another ELVIS PRESLEY!!!!

He was humble, but he knew how to entertain. He took care of his friends, giving them expensive cars, jewelry, and paid medical bills to those in need. We all have our demons.

The king from another planet the most beautiful man the UNIVERSE..................

The first jam session ever broadcastet on TV and the best.

"My boy, my boy"....love when he says that...swoon 🙀. Gorgeousness overload. Not only is EP the King of Music, he was the most beautiful King of Hearts, had and still has sex appeal in ship loads...his sense of humor is also legendary. Elvis Presley is forever ♾️💯⚡❤️🤘🏼

U can tell he felt his music 🎶 🎵 ❤

Because Elvis was sooo nervous about performing live, the producer said he could just go out, say hi and then leave, that would be enough! I think he knew Elvis would , once on stage, fall into his love of entertaining and thrive off the energy of the audience and his old friends, whom he persuaded to go on with Elvis, recreating their original manner of recording together. Again such an observant reaction, you are definitely a kindred Elvis spirit now!!👌💕🕺

What a men what a men❤he is a good looking son of a bit......

His live performances are the best to watch. Love them. Yes, no denying, he was the most beautiful man.

If you knew Elvis, this is how you'd see him at home. Playing either guitar or piano. Singing for hours sometimes. He also did it frequently with the Sweet Inspirations, his female backup singers. They would spend hours in his Vegas suite singing gospel.This after 2 shows a night. He was always working on his craft.

He had the most infectious laugh

His all time BEST concert, all of it!!!! #Elvis1968Special

This show must be the pinnacle of how handsome, cool, sexy and charismatic a human Male can be. His whole appearance is… WOOW! Then add the smile, charm, charisma, humour on top of all that… There couldn’t have been a woman who was there who wasn’t… *hungry* after that. 😉

No kidding! As my friend once said "I'd clamber over my husband to get to him"!!! 🤣

the greatest entertainer of all times

During this session the producer, director, Steve Binder wanted to recreate the jam sessions he heard Elvis and his band playing during off times in the dressing room. So he created a ring type stage to present this first type of unplugged performance. Love your reaction to this amazing Elvis performance. ❤

I remember watching this on T.V with my mom when I was sixteen. We loved Elvis so much. It took our breath away when he walked out in that tight black leather outfit. He was just gorgeous. I loved how you totally “got Elvis”!

This man will be still loved in 100 years to come , his music is just magic helps brighten your day ,he was so humble ,and never forgot where he started from . Love your facial expressions watching elvis

Elvis had not been on television for eight years. He was making movies and finally decided to go back to his favorite thing. Entertaining and this 68 Special had his first band, gospel music and was widely watched!

Another great reaction to an artist who takes one on a vocal roller coaster.

Thank you for appreciating the genius of Elvis ... from your smile , I can see you really understand his appeal to women , and if the truth be told , to men too ! Keep going , you'll love what you discover about this remarkable man ! TCB forever !

When producer-director Steve Binder walked into the dressing room, Elvis told him I don't remember the songs, I forgot the lyrics, I'm can't go out there, & Binder said if you walk out, just way hello & walk off, you ARE going out. And that is how severely nervous Elvis was. Take a look at 2 amazing stand-up center stage performances from this special: (1) "Blue Suede Shoes" (2:50 min.) (the fuller version) from sitting to a real fun ending at kzread.info/dash/bejne/c59praebmZu0kcY.html (2) "Jailhouse Rock" kzread.info/dash/bejne/amuCmLOaYKede7w.html (1:50 min.) -- very different than the rehearsed choreographed film version -- these performances are Elvis unleashed, doing what he freely did the best. Together they total just 4 min. long so it's possible for you to do one then follow it w-the other. And thank you.

Thats the only way poor people could see and hear him. I can guarantee you we waited for this a long time and those in his audience were half of excited as we were !! If i had been there in person my heart would have failed me and even this day 72 years later my hearts races , and skips beats . My Elvis !!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you very much

Elvis is truly “One of a Kind”

It's the first In The Round by an artist. This format was copied later by people like Nirvana and Bon Jovi but they couldn't hold a candle to this man with his performance, presence and charisma....the first and the most 🔥

Apart from all the obvious attractive qualities of Elvis ,His sense of humour has to be the icing on the cake ,so appealing.

Smiling from ear to ear when I saw it was the sit down session!! So raw and he oozed sexiness 🥰 love his laugh. Absolutely a great reaction. 😊 TCB ⚡❤👑

When you watch the '68 comeback special you can see the rust coming off!! . The fact he hadn't performed live in almost 8 years , you can see the chains are off. The rust is off. The king is free

We always live Elvis Elvis fans matter TCB taking care of business rest in peace Mr Elvis❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

That is absolutely elvis

Elvis always said, " without the fans there is nothing, so I give all of me to them. " How many stars from the past and now do that.

Thanks you very much for your video reaction! What a performer Elvis! I really appreciate your comments and your smile 😊!

Just love love Elvis. So gorgeous!! Have you listened to any of his gospel music. That was his true love. Just listened hearing him sing The Lord's Prayer with raw emotion

I HAVE TO SAY I LOVED HIM FROM HIS BEGINNING, WATCHING HIM GROW . HIS TALENT WAS THERE FROM HIS BEGINNING TO THIS DAY.✨️✨️✨️ELVIS GAVE HIS ALL AND WILL BE LOVED FOR INTERNITY ❤❤❤

Thanks fir your positive reactions on Elvis!!! The most remarkable! versatile! talented! and stunning entertainer ever🤩then! now and always🤩first time I fell for this amazing human being I was only 10 years old!! This gem changed the music world for us teenagers with his in that time raw voice! movements! beauty! That voice developped over the years in something unique!! in typical Elvis!! Anyway I am a 77 year old grandma now but lord do I still love this great man 🤩💛🤩

Elvis was 15 minutes late because he was so nervous he wasn't coming out..The producer's told him " just go out n say hello n if u still feel nervous then come back." So wild that a man with his level of success would actually be nervous..He was away for eight years doing movies so that's why it was called" The comeback Special." Thank u much..

God blessed EAP, and, in return, he blessed us. RIP Mr. Pressly. ❤

Yes! Yes! This part of his 68 special was "like sitting in the front room with our favorite star" (adding the following) or better yet sitting with an old friend who had been sorely missed; lost to a place that didn't love him or respect him like we did - lost to a place called Hollywood. In 68 fans everwhere welcomed Elvis home, performing live, on stage in front of his adoring fans instead of behind a movie screen. ❤ An ELVIS fan, then, now & forever.

No matter how Elvis sings he can mess up and fix it.He was good at doing what he did best.He puts his all into his music.

Loved that. Nobody else has ever reacted to 4 songs in a row. Elvis is the GOAT but you have the honour of that now Love your soft voice 😮

Mind you this was a good time in Elvis’s life by the look of it 😃😃😃

Yes, it does contribute a great deal that he never did take himself too seriously. It's a great personal quality.

Elvis had not performed live on stage in many years! He was so nervous the director /producer had to kind of push him to go out on stage! Lol. That's why the director set it up like a jam session you would do in a studio ...instead of a live performance. Like you noticed and pointed out.... it gives it more of an intimate setting. It enabled Elvis to relax a lot more and get into the music rather than worrying about the audience.

This is his first time on stage in 10 years. He was in the army for two years and in Hollyweird making movies for 8. Elvis was back, then the Vegas years came and took him away. 😢

I saw Elvis twice in Vegas and four times in concert in N.Texas every show he was absolutely electrifying, the greatest voice ever.

I just love your reactions. Not only are they always spot on, but your voice is so soothing and your smile so genuine and beautiful. As to the ‘68 Comeback Special, I know one thing … my butt would’ve had to be velcroed to that stage and my arms wrapped like a mummy with duct tape for me to stay seated politely and keep my hands off of him. Truth! Great reaction, as always! Much love ❤️

Thank you for reacting to this epic performance. I think Elvis music is for all generations ( just my opinion). I remember hearing a few of his musicians and back-up singers say they never knew exactly what he was going to do on stage because he might change his mind at the last minute as to his song choices. They had to follow him very closely and they all were masterful at keeping up with him. I thought all of them were amazing together. ...masters of their craft.❤ And yes....definitely yes...Elvis was beyond handsome ❤

Stunning in every way. Went to the annual Elvis festival in the town of Parkes, NSW, Australia 2 years ago. Absolutely wonderful. People come from across the world to attend and of course, hordes of impersonators. The train from Sydney to Parkes is affectionately called the Elvis Express! The festival has been going for 30 odd years now. He is truly loved and it would seem, timeless. A legend indeed.

I love to watch him sing One Night With You!!

I can tell watching you when he's singing that you get it man God bless you you got it right he's all of that

This was from his "comeback" special. I remember watching it on tv (I was 19 years old). This section of it was what all of us rockers of the day wanted from him, after he was over-Hollyood-ized in sill movies and such. I remember giving him standing ovations in my parent's rec room. It was so good to have the King back.

I remember watching this as a 10 year old kid whose mother was in love with Elvis. It was a fantastic time.

If you go down the Elvis rabbit hole, you'll never return 😄 GOAT 💙

Did you notice the guitar change after the second song? He switched from his acoustic guitar with Scottie Moore’s rhythm electronic guitar.

He Did Put On A Good Show Playing Guitar And Singing His Old Songs. His Manager Wanted His To Do Christmas Songs. Binder Wanted To Show Who Elvis Really Was. The Whole 68 Special Was Fantastic.

That was just one "take" from the '68 Comeback Concert. You should watch the whole concert some time. Elvis was the best looking guy in the world and the greatest entertainer in the world, and yet he was a humble, spiritual, generous human being. Long Live The King❤❤

Bless his heart he never took himself seriously and loved to clown around and have fun even making fun of himself at times. He had not sung some of these songs for a decade or more and did indeed sometimes forget the lyrics largely added to him being nervous about whether his fans would still accept him after being off the stage for so long RIP ELVIS gone too soon but never forgotten

Love this

Two documentaries, "Elvis: That's the Way It Is," (1970) and "He Touched Me: The Gospel Music of Elvis Presley" (1999) shows Elvis at his 'natural' best, just like this video from the TV special.

You mention about the intemantsey of the performance. Elvis wanted people around the stage. So many of them were brought from the seats to be around the stage.

Fantastic reaction! The 68 Comeback Special included Elvis's first live performances after 7 years of movie making. People behind the scenes said there was a relief of pent up rage and frustration behind the vocals that gave them an irresistible snarling energy. Excellent work!
