David, another great topic.

However, you should credit FECC for the Presley band musicians listed.

Two names were unknown for over 48 years until my topics -->

Sinatra Show - March 1960 -> Name The Band !

I still hope to solve the mystery of that acoustic bass player, too.

Thanks, David -- currently, there is no credit or FECC link in the current posting.

Please let me know when it gets in there.

I am going to borrow that terrific bass player screen grab, if you don't mind.

Words cannot describe how great Elvis looked in 1960.

Not to mention those great clothes. Beautiful.

Another fine set of pics, davide - thanks !

I liked this one:

Nancy Sinatra with Col. Parker.jpg

Nancy is thinking: "If he doesn't get his fat hand off me pretty soon, I'll get my dad on his case !"

Elvis, "why is he blocking, everytime I'm going to make my move on Nancy Sinatra, the Colonel's in the way!"

Of course, this was before Nancy developed her 'sexy' image........................

Further info

In 1975 ABC destroyed the master videotape to free up space in their storage facilities. Video technicians did their best to improve an inferior copy for use in the "Sinatra - Classic Duets" PBS special.


Malcom Leo talking about 'This Is Elvis'

"The Sinatra Timex show actually came to us through Elvis own collection when we returned from Memphis with a lot of filmed material,there was an unmarked box and it was Elvis copy of the Timex show. We Subsequently got a better copy from an ABC affiliate station,I forget where."
ETMAHM Number 70

Great topic. Love the pictures.

[FRENCHGUY]

Once more, many thanks Davide for these wonderful pictures and useful comments !
Although he sang only the two songs of his new single, one of these moments of greatness in Elvis career.
Think what it'd have been, if he had done a full hour tv special !
Man...!
