In the 1960s, Elvis had lost popularity because of the Beatles, Rolling Stones and others. He walked down a busy street in Los Angeles in the late 60s and nobody recognized him. He decided to do a television special and that relaunched his career.
YHC can’t help but think that Elvis’ life would have been better had he not got career going again. Be careful what you wish for!
