Agree, please do every song from this special because this vintage Elvis with his original band when it was all about the music before Colonel Parker led him down a road of commercializing Elvis and taking the soul out of his music. Please no 70s fat Elvis in the white jump suit live performances. by this time he was drugged out and phoning his performance in and the masses still ate it up. 1956-58 were Elvis' golden years and the special brought all of that back.

Yup. "Trying to Get to You" from the Comeback Special is a MUST. As a die-hard Elvis fan since his beginning, I always imagined (during this performance after having not performed live for 9 years!) he was reliving (in his mind's eye) many of the moments of playful fun and excitement as he and Scotty Moore (on guitar) and Bill Black (on upright bass) were "fooling around" in that little Sun Recording studio creating music that would take the world by storm. They were just youngsters with no idea they were making history. If you haven't seen the Baz Luhrmann biopic, "ELVIS", you're missing out.

Elvis wasn't King of anything but recording other people's music. He couldn't write a grocery list. No talent hack. He made it to fame on his looks and his ability to read and play sheet music with a criminal con artist for a manager driving him harder and harder until he dropped dead.

This was the first song of Elvis’s to ever be played on the radio. As we know, in the south in 1955, everything was segregated. The DJ in Memphis made sure to ask Elvis on the radio what high school he went to. His answer to the question was sort of code to let the listeners know that he was, indeed, a white kid playing a rhythm and blues song. Different times. The bad old days, I guess you could say.

Funny story about this song: I got an Elvis album for Christmas, early 70's, don't remember the exact year, but, this song was on it. Since my mother was an Elvis fan, she let me play it on her stereo system. As we sat down to eat, my mother said "Oh!, I meant to make some coleslaw!" That was the exact moment this song kicked in with Elvis singing "Well, that's alright lil' mama!" We all had a good laugh and to this day, if something happens someone will say "That's alright, Mama!" One aspect of Elvis you still haven't touch is his gospel. He won Grammy's for those. One of my favorites: How Great Thou Art. I would love to hear other RSR family tell their favorites.
