[@garydouglas2761]

Elvis did a much better version of Heartbreak Hotel in the stand up sessions.....

[@tupelohoney622]

I was a neighbor of Billy Ray Presley when I was a little girl. Elvis would often ride his motorcycle down from Memphis to visit his family. When I saw him pull into Mr. Billy Ray's driveway, I would run over begging for a ride. Elvis would scoop me up and head to my house to ask my mother if he could take me riding. My mother disliked motorcycles and I can still hear Elvis saying Mrs. Iris, I'll protect her with my life but I can't tell her no. At 4-5 years old I only knew he was a sweet guy that also took me for rides and bought me ice cream. When I visit Tupelo today you can still see Presley cousins walking downtown. The Presley genes are strong and some bear an uncanny likeness to Elvis. It freaks out Elvis fans visiting the town and his birthplace and museum. I still have a beautiful sapphire necklace Elvis gave me for my 6th birthday.

One of the reasons people liked Elvis so much was his sense of humor and silliness and playfulness. He could easily laugh at himself, especially when he screwed up. Yes, he had an attractive overall confidence but also a sense of humility that people found very appealing. You never felt that Elvis looked down on other people or saw himself as being more important than anyone else. He had a sweet soul. I still miss him, though I never met him.

Elvis Presley was a comedian just as much a singer and an actor !!!

[@Kathryne0816]

After the years of Hollywood trying to package Elvis as the "boy next door" type, Elvis was ready to get back to his kind of music and his kind of style. Elvis was the originator of the full leather suit - to show that he was still the badass rebel. And the stories about this show is that there were two identical suits, as they did back to back shows for two audiences, and in between shows they had to peel Elvis out of the first suit because he sweat so much under the lights that the leather stuck to him. When he first comes in and sits down you can see that he has a low v-cut shirt on under the jacket to try and mitigate the sticking. Other than on a movie soundstage, this was the first performance for a live audience that Elvis had done in 9 years. Elvis was so nervous about it that he almost didn't go on. But he and the guys were in his dressing room just playing around when the show's producer heard them and thought Elvis would be more comfortable doing the same kind of thing onstage to open the show. Once he got past the first few bars, the rest was magic. Yeah, there were mistakes here and there, but like you said, Elvis smiled and made a joke out of it and just kept on going. He also did a fair amount of ad-libbing, and they just went with it.

[@user-gz5xt1lj4t]

Elvis hadn't been on a stage singing for the public for 9 years. He was doing a series of movies his manager had roped him into. He was so nervous to do this TV special that he almost chickened out. He said, "They won't remember me, and they'll laugh". this scene is when Steve Binder the director of this whole special went to Elvis dressing room and Elvis was so nervous he told Steve he couldn't do it. Steve said, "Elvis you have to do this, just go out there and do something, even if you just talk to them." So as you can tell in his voice and actions he does not want to be there, but of course when he sees the reaction and starts to continue he gets into it. I want to thank you for your opening words. Just as Elvis is so famous, there have been so many people that tell lies and condemn him. your words were special, being a fan since 1956 and now 80, I appreciate your remarks. All I know is he was one of the most generous humanitarians who ever lived. He gave away almost as much as he made. He loved his fans, and he loved all people. Thanks and be Blessed. I subbed. PS, See "Elvis Presley King of Kindness".

[@BigDaddyG65]

The leather suit was started with Elvis. The next notable aperance to me would be the red leather suit Eddie Murphy wore in his first huge special. He was a huge Elvis fan and wore it as a nod to the King. When Elvis came out at the beginning of this video, it was pretty much his first public performance in over 10 years. He was a bit nervous and almost didn't come out. It was after the hight of the Beatles in 68 and he was afraid he had become irrelevant. This legendary special proved that wrong. You should check out the documentary Reinventing Elvis: The 68 comeback special.

[@Mostopinionatedmanofalltime]

Nice reaction. Just a note, he didn't forget the lyrics, he was just horsing around which was the intent of this segment. They were filming the 68 comeback special what was a typical studio production setting. The "comeback" was alluding to his return to "real" performing after nearly a decade in Hollywood making movies. They planned this live session to mix in this performance with the studio production clips. While taping of this seqment was planned, I read in Elvis biography that they had originally thought to sell tickets for it, but the day of the filming the audience was raided from people waiting in the line at the NBC studio that day to get into game shows, as well as from a restaurant across the street. Another note, the guitar player to Elvis' left is Scott Moore who was Elvis's original guitar player, recruited from the first recordings at Sun Studios. Scotty was one of the innovators of the rockabilly guitar sound, taking influences from county, Chicago Blues, Jazz, etc. Along with others he’s responsible for the rock sound we know.

You forgot the part where invitations were to be sent out but Parker was unhappy about the black leather sessions and didn't send them out and that's why they had to round up people from the street.

🌿🪻🌿🪻🌿🪻🌿🪻🌿🪻🌿🪻🌿The 68 Comeback Special, was Elvis's first Preformance before a Live Audiance in 8 years. Since returning home from the Army, he had been under Contract to Hollywood making Movies during that time. Elvis was very nervous about the changes to music while he was sidelined by his Manager with Movie Contracts and he wondered if the fans would still be there for him. IMHO Elvis Used Humor and Goofing around with a song, to loosen up, shake out the nerves and reach out to his Audiance on a very Human Level. That was part of the Elvis Charm and we Loved him even more for it. ❤
