I already knew that I could never do what he did as an artist, but seeing that show had a great deal to do with my dreams of having a career in television production. To this day, I&#8217;ve been grateful to Elvis and producer\/director Steve Binder for inspiring me to be able to revisit that event 50 years later and pay our own homage to what an iconic moment that was in both music and television.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today marks the exact date (December 3, 1968) 50 years ago that the NBC aired &#8220;Singer Presents&#8230; Elvis,&#8221; now known as the &#8220;68 Comeback Special,&#8221; sponsored by Singer Corporation, the sewing machine people.
