[@angienypaver9171]

I grew up loving Elvis's beautiful songs of Cant Help Falling in Love With you at the age of 4 in 1961 and Love Me Tender and from that time on Elvis has been the greatest Entertainer Ever in the whole world. Im 67 yrs old now and I still love all his movies and listen to music everyday going to work and coming home. He will forever be in my heart and mind. His music puts me in a good mood and relieves my stress. ❤❤❤❤

ELVIS did the right thing

[@aholman4571]

When I accidentally saw the 68 special. I was totally SHOCK at how perfect he was. That leather outfit. His whole demeanor. The whole show was pure RAW Elvis. I was hopelessly mesmerized by him. Best Elvis show ever.

[@lindasuegreenkennedy9739]

I'm so glad that Elvis did this 68 Comeback Special his way!❤

[@margieduthie6564]

Love elvis so much

[@gingergrant3932]

I am definitely a life long fan. I was only 7 in 1968, but being able to watch parts of the 68 comeback special now that I am 63 he most definitely took his crown back as the king of rock and roll that one famous night long ago. I will always love Elvis as the person he was and the entertainer he was. He gave his all to the world. I was 16 when he passed. As far back as I can remember he has been a big part of my life. He will be till the day I too part from this earthly world.

The Comeback 68 special was indeed a turning point in Elvis's career so much so his popularity was returned worldwide, but the pressure of show business had its perils and caused the demise of the King he had simply overdone it against his own health, years later he in spirit remains the King never will there another ELVIS, his music and legendary moves will live on forever.

[@peggyrich2642]

It made him a huge star again. I was so excited that he was current again a way from his movies that had become so boring. The 68 special made you realize how wonderful he was. Hot and sexy once again. Yummy 🌟🌟🌟

Много прекрасных слов сказано о Элвиса, но он был даром Божьим и верил Господу и старался жить по Божьему, поэтому мы так его бесконечно любим

[@aholman4571]

A Hugh thanks to Steve Benner! He was the main force for this unusual success. Especially his fight with NBC and the stupid Col Parker. Thanks again, Steve

[@chriskinkead9045]

I was only in my earrly teens when. Elvis came out of the. Army so wasnt very interested then and ee didnt get much here in. Aus. Hated the. Beatles. Monkeys was mine and other. American ones.so.this great song really drew me back then i wanted more and lovef him from then couldnt get enough. Of his movies either so glad. Elvis sang that song. So many others like has been mentioned. Claim the throne he did too til he died. That black leather and that song on the stage for the great song of parkerd design. Elvis really showed how truly great he was. From then on there was no looking back. He was magical. He has left us so many beautiful amazing songs. So very grateful.

[@carolhayar3037]

What is ".... parkerd design" ??

[@aholman4571]

The behind the scene story from producer Steve Binder was absolutely Priceless!!! How they had to fight every step to make it happen the way it was. Including they had another producer to play Poker with Col Parker with real money just to keep him away. The audience around the square platform was another miracle because col Parker failed to even produce one. They had to grab whoever they could to fill the seats. Yet the audiences were perfect! Hope they would make a movie of it.

[@pieterliebregts01]

This was Elvis at his peak. It’s such a shame that his manager, Colonel Tom Parker, limited his artistic potential so much, even in the film industry. For instance, he was offered the role of Tony in The West Side Story, but the Colonel thought Elvis shouldn’t be associated with rival gangs. Yet, in his films, you see plenty of fight scenes. Another lead role in A Star Is Born alongside Barbra Streisand also fell through because the Colonel feared Elvis would be overshadowed by the other superstar, Streisand. We could have received so much more beauty from Elvis, but his manager drove him to boredom and ultimately to his death.

[@CadiaComanducci]

Il "68 Come back Special " è stato davvero uno spettacolo magnifico nel quale Elvis ha messo il massimo impegno per fare la sua performance al meglio. Era molto nervoso, come sempre, ma aveva una grande voglia di tornare a cantare e alla sua maniera. Io ho visto lo spettacolo solo in dvd e mi ha emozionato tanto. Elvis era straordinariamente bello, simpatico e bravissimo. Con lui i musicisti storici come Scotty Moore e D. J. Fontana(Bill Black non ç'era più 🙏) che io ho trovato essere una idea fantastica averli portati su quel palco con lui, come agli inizi della sua carriera. Ed è stato importante l'appoggio e gli stimoli del produttore Bender. Elvis aveva sempre bisogno di essere incoraggiato, rassicurato che sarebbe andato tutto bene. Ed è stato fantastico! ❤❤❤ 🌟⚡🌟⚡

[@carolhayar3037]

It wasn't just "support and stimuli..." from Steve Binder. It was due to the genius of Binder & his rapport w-Elvis that gave way to discussing what he wanted to create for Elvis. Best to see the many interviews that come directly from Binder's mouth than to rely on videos that are put together by others -- in those videos many times there is wrong information, i,e., such as saying it was the decisions he (Elvis) made; & that Elvis chose to strip the performance down to its core. Binder worked out managing to keep Parker away & out of it so that he & Elvis could talk & work out what Binder envisioned,

[@CadiaComanducci]

Buonasera Io non ho fatto riferimento a interviste e notizie su vari video visti o letti qua e là....piuttosto al libro di Guralnick.(il secondo sulla biografia di Elvis) Qui si racconta in modo dettagliato la storia di Elvis e nello specifico il sig. Binder era riluttante ad accettare l'incarico alla regia dello spettacolo anche perché Elvis "non gli diceva più di tanto"(Binder amava Beatles e Beach Boys). Ma fu B.Howe, socio di Binder che aveva già lavorato con Elvis, a far conoscere Elvis a Binder. Comincia così la collaborazione fra queste persone. È vero Binder aveva in mente un programma completamente sulle corde della personalità di Elvis quindi il ritorno di Elvis alla "sua" musica e al "suo" modo di fare spettacolo come lo stesso Elvis desiderava.(dopo gli anni di films non tutti ben riusciti e le colonne sonore...). Elvis era entusiasta ma incerto...."Penso che ho una paura boia" disse Elvis e ci sono voluti tutti gli stimoli, incoraggiamenti... di Binder per fargli capire che doveva affidarsi al proprio istinto e farsi meno scrupoli di quanto voleva il Colonnello(il quale desiderava uno spettacolo a tema natalizio, invece fu cantata una sola canzone di Natale...Blue Christmas). L'argomento è molto lungo da descrivere. ... Saluti

[@carolhayar3037]

@@CadiaComanducci I am aware of Binder's reluctance at 1st since he himself says it on his interviews, I know about Bones Howe, etc., etc., but I do not go by hearsay or books, no matter how close people say they were w-Elvis or how long they knew him or lived with him. There are also contradictions coming from some of Elvis' "people" who knew him for 20 yrs. I know what Parker (who I never refer to as Colonel) wanted the show to be, & I know how they managed to keep him away so they (Binder & Elvis) could accomplish what they wanted to do. I know Elvis "yes-ed" Parker about the Christmas thing but later on jabbed Binder in the rib & said "F*** it, I'lll do it" meaning he was going against Parker & with the way he & Binder discussed. Binder said from the moment they met, he knew it was going to be a great collaboration, but Elvis was concerned about a large orchestra because he had only worked w-his few band members & as concerned about working under those conditions. Binder, being such an honest, nice, & ethical person assured Elvis. Elvis also told Binder @ last minute he forgot the songs, forgot the lyrics & wasn't going out -- that's how nervous he was. But you should really look into Binder's discussions & never rely solely on a book(s). You'll learn more from Steve Binder about what actually happened, more so than is written in any book. If everyone saw Binder's videos, it would lay to rest the many bad bits of information & comments & everyone would finally know why & how it all happened. Thanks,

[@CadiaComanducci]

​@@carolhayar3037 Questo conferma le insicurezze di Elvis che lo caratterizzavano e i vari supporti (in senso di stimoli rassicuranti ) che Binder dava ad Elvis....in ogni caso hanno organizzato un bello spettacolo! Che ha ridato ad Elvis la possibilità di tornare a cantare e a fare spettacolo riaffermato il suo talento ed il suo carisma. La ringrazio e saluto.

[@carolhayar3037]

Unfortunately --- besides his love of the stage --- the 2 other biggest desires of his that he never achieved were to tour overseas & become a good actor. It got to a point where he didn't want to continue on the way he was going. After all, how long can a person keep singing the same songs over & over, night after night, year after year, but just in different cities. He was extremely despondent. And while we know he had some severe medical issues that were inherited, had he been able to do the touring & acting, maybe, just maybe, he would have had the desire to help himself & live longer (possibly). Because as Steve Binder said, he felt "boredom" was a bigger downfall than anything. We see his despondency in the writings he did on hotel stationery just 8 mos. before he died. But it's good for us that we have the videos now to see & appreciate him.

[@ElisabethBinderHowe]

Please play it

[@carolhayar3037]

It's always best to watch STEVE BINDER's INTERVIEWS & not rely on others to "put together" a video about what happened, i.e., 9:30 "....Elvis chose to strip the performance down to its core..." is not the way it really happened. Binder managed to keep Parker away & out of it so that he & Elvis could confer & work out what Binder envisioned for Elvis.
