J. K. Mullins published part two in his ‘Iconic Moments with Elvis’ double book-set. Subtitled ‘The Long Journey Home - March 6,1960 to 1969’. The book is available in both a soft and hardcover edition.
Synopsis for the 114-page paperback: This second volume in the series describes Elvis’ return from the U.S. Army starting with his long train journey down to Memphis from Washington D.C., and the ‘Welcome Home Elvis’ TV show with Frank Sinatra. Elvis’ significant contribution to the construction of USS Arizona Pearl Harbor Memorial with the aid of his 1961 concert in Honolulu is also featured.
Several of Elvis’ sixties movies are discussed along with significant recordings, leading to his 1968 TV special and return to live performances in Las Vegas in 1969. After years grinding out Hollywood movies his return to the stage could be viewed as Elvis’ second long journey home of the decade.
