I was 17 when I wrote this review back in 1992 for The Elvis Beat #3, my official Elvis Presley Fan Club newsletter.

Elvis on VH-1 (VH-1), starring Elvis Presley, directed by Ken Schreiber, aired September 1992.

This VH-1 Elvis special was surprisingly good. Produced for use as part of its Elvis festivities in September, during which he was “VH-1 Artist of the Month,” it featured many other musical stars commenting positively on Elvis, including Billy Joel, Ringo Starr, George Harrison, Elton John, Tom Jones, The Beach Boys, Richard Marx, Dwight Yoakam, and Smokey Robinson.

Many Elvis friends or associates also appeared, including Scotty Moore, DJ Fontana, Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller, The Jordanaires, George Klein, and Bob Weisman.

Clips from Jailhouse Rock, Viva Las Vegas, Elvis On Tour, and Elvis: The Lost Performances rounded out this entertaining 30 minute special.

Songs include:

• “Jailhouse Rock”
• “Baby, I Don’t Care”
• “Viva Las Vegas”
• “Love Me Tender”
• “Can’t Help Falling In Love”
• “I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water”
• “Burning Love”
• “Just Pretend”
• “Don’t Be Cruel”
