In 1968, Steve Binder told Elvis that his career was in the toilet. Thank God for his honesty with Elvis, and subsequent trust Elvis put in Steve's hands.
Steve was the right man for the right time. A bit of luck. A bit of belief by Bob Finkel in Steve's ability .
If Elvis had not decided to live at the NBC Studio, during film, the sit down unplugged boxing ring sessions may never have happened. But once again Steve saw the opportunity to adapt the dressing room sessions into something so special, unrehearsed and spontaneous that it will remain an iconic part of Elvis history The master stroke (among many) was the closing of the Show with "If I Can Dream".
It is such a pity that Elvis never used this song again. Can you imagine this song as an occasional alternative to "Can't Help Falling In Love" throughout his latter live career.
Anyone who is interested in Elvis will enjoy this documentary.
