Details
[Edit]By 1968 the King of Rock n' Roll's incredible '50s output was a very distantmemory. The British Invasion and rapid advancements in recording techniques as rock n' roll aimed to become 'art' threatened to make Elvis Presley obsolete. He needed another 'career moment.' And he got it with his 1968 NBC-TV Special where playing to an enthusiastic studio audience, Presley reclaimed his '50s repertoire, re-found his mojo and performed with an urgency missing from, say, "Do the Clam." Reunited with his earliest collaborators, guitarist Scotty Moore and drummer DJFontana, Presley attacks "Baby, What You Want Me to Do" and "Trying to Get to You" with ebullient passion, channeling his nervousness (you can hear his voice shake when addressing the audience) into an over the top performance. Even the orchestrated segments — "Can't Help Falling WithYou" — are charged. He flubs "Love Me Tender" with good humor, eliciting chuckles from the audience. In the end, though Elvis was the consummate entertainer, it was his humanity that endeared him to his audience.
