YES he was.

Starting when Elvis finished his commitment to the US Army, Elvis received an honorable discharge after two years of service, he appeared on a TV Special by Timex hosted by Frank Sinatra. The ratings were huge.

Elvis then went directly into his movie contractual obligations with the quality of the scripts becoming "less and less" acceptable to Elvis.

Fortunately Elvis agreed to return to his roots and surround himself with some trusted band members and completed the "1968 Singer Special entitled "Elvis"".

This TV show, which showed of Elvis' vocal range and his on stage presence, was the HIGHEST RATED show of 1968.

Elvis then received the highest compensation to appear in Las Vegas for his live shows. All of his live shows SOLD OUT and Elvis ended the 1960's "hotter" than ever.

GREAT QUESTION by the way
