Elvis sure had his moments from singing to a hound dog on the Steve Allen show to performing in Hawaii to over a billion people.
This list highlights just a handful of these moments caught on camera.
No.5: Aloha From Hawaii VIA Satellite 1973
The year was 1973 when Elvis became the first artist to perform a live streamed concert to the world, it was a truly legendary performance.
No.4: That’s The Way It Is 1970
Dismissed after a cool 1956 Vegas debut at 21, Elvis achieved legendary status with his triumphant 1969 return, cemented by the dynamic 1970 film That’s The Way It Is.
No.3: Comeback Special 1968
A comeback indeed, this NBC Special premiered on December 3rd, 1968, which was the evolution Elvis’s career desperately needed.
No.2: Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra – Love Me Tender/Witchcraft
Frank Sinatra and Elvis’s performance together was like the changing of the guard after Elvis had completed his service to Uncle Sam in the US Army.
No.1: Elvis Presley – Hound Dog (The Steve Allen Show)
Elvis hated this performance of Hound Dog, a song he found embarrassing, even if we love the song and his performance.
