There&#8217;s never been a television moment quite like this one.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The 1960s was a decade marked by profound change,&#8221; said documentary director John Scheinfeld (<em>The U.S. vs. John Lennon, Who is Harry Nilsson &#8230; ?, What the Hell Happened to Blood, Sweat and Tears<\/em>). &#8220;No one was immune, including the King of Rock &#8216;n&#8217; Roll, who had been driven from his throne by the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and a host of younger, more vital artists. Against this provocative backdrop, Elvis and Steve Binder came together to create something extraordinary.
