Happy birthday, Elvis! You will forever remain a legend for all time! I recommend making more reactions to one of the coolest female vocalists in the world. Diana Ankudinova - Queen of Goosebumps - Diana received such a title for her extraordinary unique voice. Diana's best performances - Derniere Danse, Wicked Game, Human, It's a Man's Man's Man's World, Can't Help Falling in You (you made a reaction to this Elvis Presley song).

He did not just refuse, he ordered an open car for his black choir to ride with him and be paraded along the city, and insisted that the car be driven by a white driver.😂 After that the concert was held because when it was leaked to the news that Elvis was cancelling there were riots

Elvis grew up in a Tupelo, Mississippi ghetto; Dad, Vern, was in jail for bad checks. At age 14, they moved to the Memphis, Tennessee projects. He sang in a black church...Gospel was his first love...he sang "That's All Right, Mama" in 1954, when a teenager for his Mother's birthday, at Sun Records. He was a Spec 4 in the Army, got out in 2 years. Released "Heartbreak Hotel" in 1956 to a massive amount of controversy from religious groups because of his movements. He made a string of musical romance movies, that he didn't want to do. Finally got a decent script for "King Creole", his only b&w movie. He just wanted to make music. His singing career took a dip when his wife left him, and the Beatles arrived, his "Comeback Tour" helped immensely. When he sang "In the Ghetto", which his manager thought would kill his career, he fought to sing it, (it was written by Mac Davis, who originally titled it "The Vicious Circle") and here we are...as relevent, and often played, today, 57 years later, as it was in 1969, when it was released. His backup singers were the Sweet Inspirations, which included Cissy Houston, mother of Whitney Houston. Thank you for your great reaction.

Good reaction, thank you for sharing...I can relate to this song as well...We were a family of nine kids and a sick father who lost his job after 28 years working in Pittsburgh, Pa., We lived a community called Lincoln Beach, really don't know why wasn't any beach there...But we were one of five white families in the beach all the rest were black families...All of us children played together and were great friends...We were all poor at that point and life got tough...Dad went to a sanitorium where people had to stay that had Tuberculous, a communicable disease at that time...After we had lived with grand parents for awhile our dad came home and we went to live in a small house in Kentucky...We had $115.00 a month for everything, food, utilities, clothes from the thrift...Two beds, the girls in one and dad and the boys in the other...One meal a day, but some of the kids were old enough to work in the lunch room at school so they did get to eat for working...Sorry, not having a pity party just want to say- much like Elvis and family, we had so much love for one another that made it all okay...We did learn to love other people and no one was turned away from our table with what we had...And I look back on those days and realize how blessed we were...Love conquers all...Take care and God Bless...

For another performer to react to, one who had similar reactions when venues tried to deny his black bassist to play with him, check out "Take Five", by Dave Brubeck. He once canceled an ENTIRE tour in the South because a promoter tried to get him to drop his black bassist (who's name I don't know; I stink with names). That is epic. In particular, react to the video recorded live in Belgium in 1964. Great jazz, man. Great jazz.

WELCOME TO THE BIRTHPLACE Elvis Aaron Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi on January 8, 1935 to Vernon and Gladys Presley. Born in a two-room house built by his father, grandfather and uncle, Elvis was one of twin brothers born to the Presleys. His brother, Jessie Garon was stillborn. Elvis grew up in Tupelo surrounded by his extended family including his grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Financially, times were hard on Vernon

At one time, he and his family lived in the projects. That poor. My white grandparents lived in a three room shack with no electricity and that was in the 50’s. Grandmother ironed for a living and that’s what they lived off of. Their children had little education and it wasn’t until my generation that we all received a good education and married well with no divorces in the family. Education and staying out of trouble is the key out of poverty.

Great reaction. Thank you for providing your personal perspective! Elvis grew up in poverty in the deep south. He listened to gospel music in the revival tents. He listened to blues. He saw what poverty could do firsthand to a son and his mother - as his father had to do time for writing a bad check. He had a deep relationship with his Mom who died when he was 23. Other viewers suggest "If I Can Dream" and I wholly agree. For some hopping fun Elvis performances, I also recommend "Polk Salad Annie" and "Suspicious Minds" from the 1970 Vegas shows.

To add some; Myrna Smith (of the Sweet Inspirations) said; 1970, Elvis was going to perform at the Houston Astrodome. He was told "You can leave the Black girls home", so he wasn't going to do the gig. Of course, the Dome relented. Usually, Elvis was driven around open arenas by himself. At the Dome, he made them provide 2 cars. Myrna said he "Demanded we be given the star treatment. We had to be in our convertible, where everyone could see us & our little blonde could drive us." There's vid on KZitem of the 2 convertibles driving around the Dome arena.

Even Sammy Davis wouldn't touch this song in the race riot-filled 1960s. But Sammy told the songwriter Mac Davis that he knew a man that SHOULD sing this song because he understood THAT LIFE better than he did, Mr Elvis Presley. Elvis was born first grew up in a SHACK with NO RUNNING WATER and NO ELECTRICITY. Played and prayed with black children and families. His mother make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for his friends who were primarily black. Elvis called his friends' black parents and grandparents MR and MRS. --- White folks down south never did that. Elvis was FAMILY in the black community he grew up in Tupelo Mississippi and Memphis Tennessee. See Elvis was so popular that he became a meme, BUT THE MAN, no he was the exact opposite. NO entertainer was as brave as Elvis in this era. MLK got assassinated. John AND Robert Kennedy got assassinated. Malcom X got assassinated. What did they have in common? CIVIL RIGHTS. So Elvis was a PRIME TARGET at this time. What did Elvis do? His label, RCA and a top RCA executive said they can't release "IN THE GHETTO" because of the then current racial and social tensions. Elvis heard it and said, "That's my next single, son" and walked away. Only Elvis was willing to risk his career to get that record on the air-waves. Only Elvis could have performed it and gotten the radio play when it came out in the late 1960's, during the Civil Rights Movement. He made it his platform. One of his major public statements on the issues of racism and poverty in America. Without uttering a single press release or public statement. Not a single political word or comment. Amazing power of song by a very brave and loving human being that never got, nor asked for credit. That's what you call A TRUE REBEL.

Watch the video "Elvis Presley and the Black Community" and that will give you an good idea of how Elvis fought his heart out for the innocent downtrodden.. He grew up dirt poor and hung out with African Americans who loved him as much as he loved them. He was a force for good, and it hurts to see him called a racist. He was a courageous fighter all of this life. I love that man.
