Elvis: '68 Comeback Special by Alanna Nash

Last March, Priscilla Presley sat watching a screening of the The '68 Comeback Special. Beside her was Steve Binder, the producer-director of that long-ago show, originally broadcast as Singer Presents Elvis, but now better known as The '68 Comeback Special.

Wanda Jackson Remembers Elvis Presley

Wanda Jackson: My daddy said, 'I wonder if there's a fire or something. Let me go look'. I started getting my things, and he came back and said, 'No, relax. But you've got to see this for yourself'. He took me to the wings, and there was Elvis singing and moving and gyrating, and all these girls standing at the foot of the stage, screaming and reaching for him. It was quite an unusual sight for those days. And when the rest of the nation started giving him havoc, it really upset him.

Mary Ann Mobley Remembers Elvis Presley

Elvis and I felt a common bond, coming from Mississippi. He thought I understood him. He didn't have to put on airs with me, and I wasn't after anything. This is an odd thing to say about Elvis Presley, but it was like I was working with my brother. We never dated. We were just two people from the same state.

Andreas van Kuijk - Colonel Tom Parker

In the spring of 1960, a Dutch housewife named Nel Dankers-van Kuijk visited her hairdresser in Eindhoven, and thumbed through the new issue of Rosita, a Belgian women's magazine. There she saw a photograph that stopped her heart. A young American singing star, Elvis Presley, just home from the army in his handsome dress blues, waved to his fans from the doorway of a train. But it was the big man standing behind him who caught her eye. He looked so much like her younger brother Jan?

Linda Thompson Remembers Elvis Presley + Elvis' chow, Getlow

Elvis was a very tender soul. He had such a good heart. We literally bought out a pet shop one night. About three o'clock one morning, Get- Low was acting really strange, so we had a doctor come over. He said, 'I don't think the dog will make it through the night'. So Elvis leased a Learjet and flew Get Lo, my girlfriend and me, and the doctor up to Boston to a special clinic for kidney dialysis. We left him up there for about three months. But he didn't live long after that. He was only about a year old. We were on tour when he died, and we were coming home on his plane when they told us. Elvis just cried.

June Juanico Remembers Elvis Presley

June Juanico: Elvis was the love of my life. I met him in the summer of '55, when he was just a regional star. I was 17 and he was 20. He had been in my hometown of Biloxi, Mississippi, several times before, and people said, 'You need to see him', and I went on this one night. I thought he was the most gorgeous thing: big, dreamy eyes. Girls were screaming over him, and I'm just not that kind. I was passing by him, not even looking at him, and he reached through the crowd and grabbed my arm. He said, 'Where are you going?'

Interview with Barbara Eden

Elvis' Flaming Star, co-star Barbara Eden talks to Alanna Nash about Elvis Presley. The original interview from August 2007 was the very first time Barbara Eden had been interviewed in-depth by anyone about Elvis. God, what a talent he was! I remember the first time I saw him. It was on television. I had a job dancing, and one of the girls took me home to rehearse, and her sister came running in the room and said, 'Look! Look! Quick! Stop!' It was the Ed Sullivan Show. And he was just electric. You'd never forget him after that.
