This was the final song of the Elvis comeback special, which aired in December 1968. Colonel Parker flatly said in a meeting it wasn’t his guy’s kind of material. The King, who unbeknownst to the Colonel had entered the room, said he wanted to try it. The song became one of the most powerful entries in the Elvis repertoire because he put his heart into it. Some lines directly quoted Dr. Martin Luther King.
