Elvis Presley’s 1968 Comeback Special is one of the most famous performances in music history. It showed the world his amazing voice, energy, and charm. Even after so many years, people still watch and enjoy his performances. One of the most exciting moments from this special is his song “Trying To Get To You.” It is a powerful performance that proves why Elvis is still known as the King of Rock and Roll.
In this performance, Elvis plays with his original band members, Scotty Moore and D.J. Fontana. They keep things simple—just Elvis, his guitar, and pure music. He wears a black leather outfit, and the stage setup makes it feel like a private concert. His voice is full of deep emotion making the song sound even more meaningful. The 1968 Comeback Special was an important moment in his career because it reminded everyone how talented he was and brought him back into the spotlight.

What makes this performance even more special is how Elvis puts his heart into every note. The way he plays his guitar, the way he moves and even the expressions on his face show how much he feels the music. Unlike his polished studio recordings, this live performance feels real and raw. His band plays along with him naturally, making it seem like they are just having fun together rather than performing for a big audience. This is what made Elvis stand out—he could make any performance feel personal and exciting.
The Comeback Special also includes “Gospel Production Number,” a performance that shows another side of Elvis. Gospel music was very important to him, and this song is a mix of some of his favorite church hymns. While the special was meant to help Elvis reconnect with his fans, it also gave him a chance to sing the music he truly loved. A choir joins him on stage, filling the performance with energy and passion. His voice, combined with the choir makes the performance powerful and unforgettable.
