Many deaf people finally could view the historic broadcast of Elvis Presley's "1968 Comeback" TV special with CAPTIONS on the TVLAND cable channel for very first time.
Elvis Presley, King of Rock 'n Roll, appeared in black leather outfits which shocked many Americans in 1968. His fan used to his clean and squeaky image
There are the DVDs issued Elvis's "1968 Comeback" TV special, but no captions.
I am no "Elvis" fan myself, but repeatedly mesmerized by my deaf friends about the 30th Anniversary of Elvis's Death this year. One of my deaf friend is surely excited about viewing the 1968 comeback of Elvis Presley from his career doldrums with captions.
Any of you, deaf people have personal experience like meeting the "King" in the past or heard about other deaf people embraced Elvis Presley somewhere.
THANKS to the TVLAND people for making "Elvis's 1968 Comeback" TV special possible to be broadcasted in captions for the die-hard and curious Elvis deaf fans. I will watch this special for my deaf friends!
ASLize yours,

Hi. Back in 2005, there was ELVIS on CBSTV and my son was a camera intern on that production under the Camera & Electrical Department. Its cast and crew consisted of Jonathan Rhys as Elvis Presley, Camry Manheim as Gladys Presley the mother of Elvis Presley, Randy Quaid as 'Colonel' Tom Parker, etc... Anyway, through the grapevine Camry found out that my son is CODA, she signed loudly, 'LET'S HAVE LUNCH!' My son was so surprised and signed back, 'OK, WHEN?' and they signed back and forth. They had a lunch together...
