A true turning point in his life, the special represents a transition for Elvis towards a new style of music and a new phrase of his career.
The entertainment press may still have referred him as the king of Rock 'n' Roll, but Elvis never really returned to rock music. In the later years of his career, he sang everything from pop ballads to country songs, though it would be erroneous to label Elvis either a pop singer or a country performer.
After the Comeback special, Elvis transcended labels to become America's premier entertainer.
