FROM THE BACK OF THE COLLECTOR'S TIN: 1958: Elvis Presley is inducted into the US Army at the Memphis Draft Board and is assigned serial number 53310761. He gets his famous GI haircut at Fort Chaffee, Arkansas. Private Presley arrives at Fort Hood, Texas for basic training and is stationed t for six months. His parents soon move to a temporary home near the base. After basic training, while on his first leave, Elvis has a recording session, his last until 1960. 1968: Recorded in June 1968, titled 'Elvis" but more commonly known as 'The 68 Special' or the 'The 68 Comeback Special' aired on December 3, 1968 and was the first televised Elvis special. Toward the end of the special Elvis appears in a lengthy production number that, through song, dance, karate, and various situations, traces a young man's journey from a struggling guitar player, through the challenges, dangers and compromises on the path to his dreams of success and superstardom. Something is lost along the way. Once the dream is achieved, the man realizes that he remains unfulfilled, that he has abandoned his true self. He decides to return to his roots, doing what made him happiest, what he does best. He sings "I'll never be more than what I am...a swingin' little guitar man." The parallels to Elvis' own life are clear and deliberate, and hs doing the '68 special represents his own return to his true self, to his roots. Free from the confines of his Hollywood grind, this is Elvis the singer, the performer, the musician, the man--the real Elvis. 1973: Elvis mades television and entertainment history with his Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii--Via Satellite special, performed at the Honolulu International Center Arena on January 14. In all, it will be seen in about forty countries by one billion to 1.5 billion people. Elvis commissions an American Eagle design for his jumpsuit for this show, his patriotic message to his world audience. Never has one performer held the world's attention in such a way. Elvis is in top form physically and vocally. This is probably the pinnacle of his superstardom, on of the all-time great moments of his career.
