Elvis Presley Introduction. Welcome Home Elvis - ABC The Frank Sinatra Timex Special. Fontainebleau Hotel, Miami -- March 26, 1960. Nelson Riddle Orchestra. Screening - May 12, 1960.
The show was actually taped in the grand ballroom of the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami on March 26, 1960. Sponsored by the Timex Company, the program aired nationally on ABC-TV from 9:30-10:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 12, 1960.Compared to Elvis's other TV appearances both before and after, relatively little has been written about the Sinatra show. However, at the time of its airing it had monumental significance in Presley's career. He hadn't appeared on TV since his final Sullivan show in January 1957, nor had he performed in front of any kind of audience since November 1957 in Hawaii. For Elvis, just released from the army, a lot was riding on the Sinatra appearance.
I love this!
