August 28th in History:In a last minute decision Elvis told his manager Col. Parker that he had his own song in mind to close his (1968)Comeback Special Since the show was filmed in December, Parker wanted Elvis to close with the traditional song Have yourself a Merry Christmas.... Elvis and his song writer had a different idea... Walter Earl Brown had recently written the song If I can Dream a few months after the assassination of Mr. King Walter Brown was very inspired by M.L.K. and the tribute song contained direct quotes from the I have a Dream speech givin by King (51 years ago today) on (August 28th 1963)....steve-pollard
