If I Can Dream - Elvis Presley

On June 30, 1968, **Elvis Presley** performed a live vocal rendition of If I Can Dream for his NBC-TV Special. The world would hear and see Elvis unleash a dynamic new voice that led to some of the best music of his life. The assassination of **Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.** and U.S. Senator **Robert F. Kennedy** contributed to the most passionate performance of Elvis' career. After learning of Kennedys death, Elvis spoke with the shows director, **Steve Binder**, and his friends about his desire to express his feelings and convey his hopes for the world. This song is an anthem of both sadness and hope. This was the real Elvis. If I Can Dream concluded the TV special with a momentous finale.
