Re: Elvis Is Back (1969 article)
tyvm The Fool for this piece of history
Elvis was surely back after his '68 comeback special
Vegas was a great venue to bring in the crowds to witness his shows
Many thanks for this.
There's Only 1 King Of Rock and Roll and he's smiling down on us all from heaven.
Taking Care Of Elvis Forever!

Re: Elvis Is Back (1969 article)
Thank you for another very interesting share. The article oddly refers to the Elvis TV Special LP as "just released" by RCA, but at least the music there is rightly praised.The fool on Fri Oct 06, 2017 12:53 pm wrote:Elvis Is Back

The playing is real good rhythm and blues rockabilly stuff, and is, again, very good rock. I mean, real ROCK.
The writer is not as big on Elvis' Las Vegas return, or some of the American Sound singles, but does sum up in grand fashion:
His music ... gives feeling of power. A feeling that Iron Butterfly or Tommy Roe will just never cut.
Thanks again.
P.S. Any chance you can do a full scan of the cover? I want to see all the detail.

It's a superb summation of his Hollywood career, one which certain forum members should take the time to read, and gain clarity in the process.
