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.
Yes, other than his "concert movies" which were; the 1960 Singer Special entitled "Elvis" (aka: the '68 Special, the Comeback Special, etc.), Elvis: That's The Way It Is, and finally Elvis On Tour
Elvis was 33 years old in 1968.
Elvis served with the US Army in Germany. At the time of his service, there was no war in Germany.
Army service
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
