    ……on the influences of Elvis in music today and the impact of Elvis on their lives.

WHY WAS THE ’68 COMEBACK SPECIAL SO SPECIAL?
Elvis Presley, the undisputed King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, with over 1 billion record sales to date, performed on December 3, 1968 at what was to become a legendary event, playing his greatest role: himself.

It was seen by many as his most notable achievement as a stage performer. The special saw him perform alone as well as in jam sessions with Scotty Moore & D.J. Fontana, his early backing musicians.

Elvis put on the kind of crackling, charismatic show that helped make him the most iconic rock and roll star of all time
