Episode 5 Steve Binder

The 1968 television special that became the comeback of the King would not have had that kind of impact had it not been for Steve Binder. Steve was the man behind the scenes for the '68 Comeback Show and talks candidly about his role in making a show that Elvis would be proud of, rather than the version that Colonel Tom and the networks envisaged. Steve's memories of his time with Elvis are priceless, including the catalyst for the unplugged Elvis jam session and where Baz Luhrmann took license in his blockbuster film.     Hosts Mark Andrew and Kevin Hillier take you inside the Kingdom with access to the people who were there when the legend was at his highest and lowest. Hear amazing Elvis stories from  staff, friends, fans, fellow musicians, promoters and some sources that will surprise.  Mark Andrew has been paying homage to Elvis in his live tribute shows for decades and Kevin has been playing Elvis songs on the radio for even longer. They are the perfect combination to bring Elvis to the fans, old and new.     Any questions please contact us [email protected] See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
