The King.
What could Have, and should have Been.
Yes. I'm a huge Elvis fan, I've seen the recent movie Elvis, too many times to count. I've seen all his 60's movies, all his previous documentaries, and have read twenty five or so Elvis books.
My point, Steve Binder was a God send for Elvis and his fans. The 68 special is an absolute must see for all music fans.
What really hit me about this documentary was the love from Elvis fans, who were lucky enough to be in the audience.
One woman, who was in her seventies now, talked about how it wasn't cool anymore in the late 60's to like Elvis. She sat ten feet from him and said she was overwhelmed and overcome with emotion.
The love and breakthroughs in this special, If I Can Dream." And the late 60's choreography is incredible.
For Elvis's mom to say the colonel was the devil, is absolutely spot on. But to see it shared in a binder Doc is spellbinding.
And the fact that the Colonel kept Binder away from Elvis is a crime. Right after the 68 special Elvis recorded some of his greatest hits, Burning Love, In the Ghetto and Suspicious Minds.
Just imagine what Steve Binder and Elvis could have accomplished together. It staggers the mind, and hearts and souls, of all Elvis fans.
Taken Care of Business Baby.
