Elvis being Elvis Cool

[@patriciakeith6755]

This was in 1968. Elvis melted many of hearts in that black leather outfit.

[@nightgoblin29]

My mother is still melting haha

[@christineoneal666]

I got a t-shirt with him wearing that black leather outfit...

[@cuexin]

According to eyewitnesses Elvis himself was melting and they had to wash the suit down in the intermission and dry it with a hairdryer. 🤣 So stylish but the worst kind of outfit for the heat of a TV studio ...

[@vonbass1300]

Elvis Presley baby, nothing like him man

[@relentlessrescue260]

When you can mess up, stop in the middle of the song, talk, laugh, tell the audience it’s the worse performance you’ve ever done and it’s STILL a classic performance? . . . your the definition of cool!

[@my.business]

*Most singers of today can't do stuff like this....unlike the one & only King of Rock & Roll Elvis*

There are so many documentaries about Elvis. Not much you can’t learn. He was the epitome of cool.

[@JShirk-po8ln]

I remember having to watch this with my parents. Wow

What a funny guy Elvis was. He could joke around and nobody cared! 😀 Pure class, coolness to the core. Love your reactions. From South Africa. 👍

imo this is prime Elvis. it showcases every aspect of his talent and it accomplished the goal of the comeback special.

Elvis was the most gorgeous man to ever live. God he’s so handsome❤️

1968 comeback concert! He was hot!

[@angelacalvert7599]

He is and always will be one of a kind. And it doesn't get any better than the 68 special. He was gorgeous and better than he had ever been. Full of life, full of spunk, full of laughter and full of himself and let it fall over on everyone else. He was the GOAT. Greatest Of All Time and forever will be. Enjoyed yall's reaction to him.

[@MrLaurielover]

The only thing I miss more than the sound of Elvis' voice is the sound of his laughter. ❤

[@kevincaulder9001]

The '68 Comeback Special was filmed in two sections. The first was where they had two different audiences in a close setting of fans. He hadn't performed for a live audience in 1o years. They used reactions from both parts of selected songs to broadcast on the show. The second part was more in the line of a variety show of musical sketches to give him a chance to showcase his maturing vocals. It also gave him the confidence to end his movie career and begin touring again. The music scene had changed so much in the time since he performed live. And then, we got an improved idol for his core audience that loved him even more.

[@teijaflink2226]

What did he so for 10 years? I didn't know that he had a part where he didn't perform.

[@kevincaulder9001]

@@teijaflink2226 it was his Hollywood period. He was making movies as well as the soundtracks for his films. He became the first actor to earn a million dollars per film.

68 Special is my favorite. you guys are beautiful. I am in the twlight of my life, but new generation of Elvis fans give me hope for the future. ❤ y'all. God bless you more 🙏

[@andrewelder8212]

First time I heard him was on an Army NAAFI juke box in 1956. I knew then that he was something special - his raw voice was so unique which many tried to copy, no one came close. Our own, Cliff Richard sounded like a choirboy in comparison. I don't believe we will ever see his like again, a true phenomenon!!

[@stacymoore9836]

Scotty Moore was his original electric guitarist from the beginning of Elvis’s career

[@susancrouthamel760]

James Burton was another good guitar playing of his. He was in Army in Germany for 2 years. Charlie Hodge told me that he was always nervous before going on stage esp at the 68 Comeback Special. Elvis could just sit there n smile n we all would go crazy

[@gingerm1974]

That show has this kind of like just jamming session and the actual performance. That was the best part of the show close and personal with the fans.

[@garrettmiles3644]

Listen to the original studio version from 56. So earthy and greasy. That recording was what made me love Elvis.

[@nestea8385]

One of the best in this show is "Trying to get to you." He had been filming movies & making TV guest appearances since 1960 or so. This was his first live performance since then. He really was very nervous. He was in the Army for 2 years. Also check out Return to Sender and I don't wanna be Tied. From the movie Girls!Girls!Girls!

Wowoo wowoo this Elvis Presley is really mazing fantastique américain artist

[@2GunRock]

If you wanna hear Elvis at his BEST (vocally), you have to do "IF I CAN DREAM" from the same 68' comeback special. He closed the show with that song as a tribute to MLK who had recently been assassinated.

[@ashleygreen1656]

I used to have this entire concert on VHS tape. I love love love Elvis!!

[@timcarr6401]

He almost had to be forced to go on. Elvis had changed his mind and didn't want to go through with it. But he was told by director Steve Binder that there was an audience out there waiting for him. And that he couldn't let them down. "But what if I freeze up? What if I can't think of anything to say?" Binder told him "but you are going out there." (summary from page 312 of "Careless love" by Peter Guralnick)

[@alanhawkins808]

A young Keith Richards had never heard anything like this. It was a true inspiration to him. Happy Birthday Keith. (78 years old)

[@jayeginn5963]

One of the funniest moments from the comeback special is when Elvis goes into the introduction of another song and Charlie Hodge walks over to pick a piece of paper tissue off of Elvis' cheek (he'd just dabbed the sweat off his face with a tissue from somebody in the audience and a piece of the tissue was left stuck to his cheek) and gives it to a girl in the audience who then proceeds to put it IN HER PURSE, LOL!!!! Elvis just shakes his head in slight embarrassment but with a smile on his face and says "It never ceases to amaze me, boy, I tell ya." That's how he felt about the level of adoration some of his fans gave him: he kind of had to laugh about it because it was so over the top.

[@kayramsey6759]

Elvis was drafted. He served 1958 to 1960. Spent much of his time inGermany.

[@tm2bee]

Omg he was such a beautiful man! When my granddaughter was 3, she saw a life size cutout of gold lame Elvis. She looked up at him and said "I'm gonna marry him!".

[@willowb1527]

Y'all should go visit his home in Memphis, Graceland. They used to have a real hotel at the end of a lonely Street. And it was very 50 60s inspired hotel. But they tore it down and made a more Richie more expensive hotel. But you guys would love Graceland. Oh by the way Elvis's favorite soda was Dr pepper. 👍👍♥️♥️

Elvis was drafted. He was offered to serve as an entertainer on bases. He said turned military down and said he wanted to serve like any other young man. He did serve two years in Germany, where he met Priscilla. Elvis did everything just like everyone. No special treatment. He came home a sergeant. He loved America.🇺🇸

Youve got to do Elvis Presley (October 28th 1956) on the Ed Sullivan Show in black and white. He was very young and naive then, its wonderful to watch, he speaks at the end, not to be missed. You won't regret it.....

[@kathifielder1110]

Fantastic reaction!! This was Elvis's first million-selling record in 1956 and was #1 on the billboard charts for 8 weeks. Throughout 1956-57 he had 14 million-selling records with 9 of them reaching #1 on the charts plus 2 #1 albums. White racists were scared to death that he was bringing the races together (which he was). Many think he was drafted into the Army with the goal of killing his career.

[@jennywren7822]

He was petrified here, wouldn't come out of his dressing room, it had been so long making all his films, and this was his trial comeback, this was the opening song, it was nerves, I think we've all felt that. The producer had to go and coax him out. He had awful stage fright before every appearance, amphetamines helped and always asked if he'd been good enough after every show. He was a shy humble man thrown into the limelight at a tender age. LONG LIVE THE KING ❤

[@williambowmer1675]

Elvis was drafted and served in the Army from 1958 to 1960. This was his first appearance in front of a live audience since a USS Arizona Memorial benefit concert in Honolulu, Hawaii on March 25, 1961. Just before this song, Elvis went to Steve Binder, the director of the show, and said " I can't do it." He had done nothing but make movies for the last 7 years and was worried the audience wouldn't accept him. Steve told him "you've got to at least go out there." He told Elvis he could change his mind once he was on stage, but he had to at least make an appearance. Once he was in front of the audience, his instincts took over.

[@georgephillips3625]

This is from his 68 come back special. This is after his acting contract was over and he could sing on his own again.

[@827dusty]

This was actually a sort of "Come Back" appearance for Elvis, who like others, were swallowed up and somewhat forgotten when The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix, etc. took over in the mid 60s. Elvis and Dion, and all of the others , were no longer considered cool anymore. That all changed with this Prime Time tv Special for Elvis' return after about five years of really doing nothing career wise. "The King" was back, after this tv special that most of the entire country watched. He once again became the huge star, and recording artist he was in the 50s and 60s. It's a great story, and it's all true.

Yep, Elvis served in the the Army after being drafted at age 20 after his first year of budding stardom. He was stationed in Germany. After his enlistment was over, he launched his movie and recording career. This period was like stage 2 of the Elvis Era

[@kimreese3530]

Elvis liked to sit around with his fellow musicians and play around. One of his producers wanted to catch that on stage for his fans.

[@jflaugher]

I was 7 years old when I first saw Elvis Presley on TV. Now, my father, who was a Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald fan, positively hated Elvis and hated Rock 'n' Roll in general. On that particular day, when I first saw Elvis on TV, I remember thinking how cool he looked with his hair, his leather jacket, and the rebellious glint in his eye - and I pointed at the TV and asked my Dad, "Who's that?" My father told me it was Elvis Presley. Then I said, "That's what I want to be when I grow up." And my Dad cupped his face in his hands and said, "Oh shit."

[@darkknight6638]

Elvis in this '68 version "Heartbreak Hotel" is best of Elvis version ! Truly like real heartbreaking, feel so painful and hurting even crying and a lot tears ! Most by Elvis in '68 backing rebel style and return to rock, no more nice guy, Elvis wanna be himself and do anything he wanna be, Most in '68 in this live tv show is really success and Elvis just telling all of fans say : "Elvis is back ! Nobody or anybody can beat me, Nobody can stop me I wanna be ! Because I'm Elvis Presley !"

[@esmaelgonzales6250]

If you two ever want to take a real look at a man plying his trade, order the ELVIS '68 COMEBACK SPECIAL! The long version because that one has all the bloopers and all the rehearsals and the finished product that was eventually broadcast as a Christmas special on tv in late 1968. This is work for this special, in front of a live audience, re-energized Elvis and he started performing b4 live audiences again, no more movies for him. This is what he loved and lived for. And, we're so glad and we, in the end, are the benefactors of having all these recorded concerts that we can now enjoy. 'Course, I've got every movie, concert, interview he ever made. And, we've got him on hiown channel on SIRIUSXM radio. Oh yea!👌🙌👏

Elvis served in Germany. There was no conflict at the time, but his mom worried herself to death. Literally. She died while he was still there.

[@bsbncandey]

Understandably. I mean when one thinks of Germany back in the day they think of war and Nazi Germany. And she lost her first born, and her mother 4 months after hos death, with Elvis being the only survivor. She had a right to be worried, poor thing.

[@jimreedy1960]

He was in the Army for two years because he was drafted.

[@tommyk6719]

Yup, and Elvis could have gotten out of being drafted due to his celebrity status, instead he refused any preferential treatment and insisted on fulfilling his patriotic duty to the country, just like everyone else at that time. Ironically it was his willingness to serve that became yet another one of the many reasons why he continued to be so endeared, especially with the 1950’s era of pearl clutching conservatives (no offense intended) who only a few years earlier were horrified by his supposedly “suggestive” dance moves and trying their hardest to have him canceled. Elvis had a very natural way of reaching into peoples hearts. No question Elvis had to overcome some difficult “cultural” times and norms that existed here in America at that time. More important, Elvis was successful because he was obviously a good man! He worked hard and didn’t ever stop believing in himself. Elvis became the “superstar” that we love, listen to and talk about still 43 years after his untimely death back in 1977. TCB
