Elvis "1968 Comeback Special" I consider one of the finest performances ever given by any Entertainer .. backed by his Original Sidemen, he truly did reclaim his title as "King" .. he had been out of the public eye for a while, dressed head to toe in black leather, in excellent physical shape and his voice was absolutely powerful, nailing the songs as if it was 1956 ..

In addition, although a Southern Boy, he had absolutely no prejudice in him, period .. the choir for the Special was originally all white, yet, Elvis insisted they bring in the Blossoms and Darlene Love ..

You've probably already read these, however, I recommend anyone that enjoys Music History check out Peter Guralnick's books :: "Last Train to Memphis" and "Careless Love" .. a two book series on Elvis ..

In this show, he ruled his Kingdom .. from "Trouble"/"Guitar Man" to the final chord .. it was and is, truly sublime ..

I was SO THRILLED to watch that comeback special!!!! I had a chance to go to a concert of his when he played at the then Pontiac Silverdome many years later...but I simply couldn't bear to see him in the condition he was in at that time...what a damn FOOL i was!!!!

Good morning to the young at heart

OMG! That is the first person and video that popped into my head. ANOTHER huge favorite of mine. The one where he combines 'what a wonderful world' with 'somewhere over the rainbow' is my favorite of the two versions.

For some strange reason, all I can think of is Drew Barrymore reliving the same day over and over again

((( yawn / stretch )) popped out of bed about an hour earlier than usual .. slept straight through, not even a bathroom trip .. headed to Hardees for a bacon egg and cheese .. drained the first 1/3rd of the coffee out of the pot as it brewed, spoon standing up in the cup industrial strength ..
