Today, the star-studded music video for, “If I Can Dream,” by Elvis Presley with new vocal performances from Post Malone, Shawn Mendes, Darius Rucker, Blake Shelton and Carrie Underwood premiered globally on Apple Music. The video showcases the new version of the legendary closing number and is the finale performance from the upcoming NBC “Elvis All-Star Tribute” which will air on Sunday, Feb. 17 from 9-11 p.m. ET/PT.

The music video opens with Elvis’ passionate and now-classic, emotionally fueledperformance of “If I Can Dream” from the ’68 Comeback Special with The King of Rock and Roll standing in front of a towering backdrop of red lights that spell ELVIS. It then transitions to each of the contemporary stars singing a different verse in front of a re-creation of that backdrop, uniting the legend and the current superstars in a song that is just as lyrically relevant today as it was in 1968.
