Binder conceived, directed, and produced the TV special which <em>TV Guide </em>subsequently<em> </em>called “the second greatest musical moment in television history next to the Beatles' debut on the <em>Ed Sullivan Show</em>.”</p> <p>Binder’s<u><em><strong> </strong></em></u><em><strong>Elvis ’68 Comeback</strong></em> is a behind the scenes look at the making of this memorable TV special with exclusive insider content that gives fans even more insight into the performance that many see as a high point in the King of Rock’s reign of American music.
