Elvis

Elvis Chart statistics for mid 1968 show that Presley's recording career was floundering only die hard fans were buying his soundtrack recordings. This led to an NBC TV show, later dubbed the '68 Comeback Special, aired December 3, 1968. The show featured lavish production numbers not dissimilar to those in his movies. It also included segments from live sessions that saw him clad in black leather and performing in an uninhibited style, reminiscent of his rock and roll days.
