Elvis first "comeback" occurred after his stint in the US Army in 1960. Elvis had been drafted into the US Army during the peak of his popularity (note: he received his draft notice in late December 1957).
What is widely known as Elvis "comeback" occurred in 1968 with the TV Special, sponsored by the Singer Sewing Machine Company, entitled "Elvis". This TV Special is also known as "Elvis Comeback Special" or "Elvis '68 Special" among other nicknames.
Since Elvis had been locked into movie contracts/commitments, beginning in 1960 through 1968, Elvis' singing/live performances had ceased to exist. This 1968 TV Special showcased Elvis raw talents, and he was in excellent physical and vocal shape, and proved once again that Elvis was a magnificent singer and stage presence.

Why did Elvis need to make a comeback?

Elvis Presley needed to make a comeback in the early 1970s due to a decline in his popularity and the changing music landscape, which saw the rise of new rock and pop artists. After a period of focusing on movies rather than his music, his fan base had waned, and he faced criticism for his performances. The 1968 "Comeback Special" on NBC revitalized his career, reminding audiences of his talent and charisma, leading to a successful resurgence in live performances and recordings.
