Nearly 50 years after the King of Rock ’n’ Roll’s death this week in August of 1977, a music documentary goes behind the scenes of the 1968 TV special that revived Elvis Presley’s career, reminding fans of the explosive power of his earliest TV appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show. TV director Steve Binder, who convinced Elvis to perform a full-blown concert instead of the cheesy Christmas special his manager Colonel Tom Parker had arranged, narrates this retrospective. Watching Elvis reprise his early hits in a black leather outfit never gets old. As long as these video memories remain, his legend will never die.
