In 1957 Timex sponsored a series of TV Variety Show Specials starring Frank Sinatra broadcast on The ABC Television Network. The last in the series taped on 12th May 1960 in Miami, was perhaps the best of all, featuring Elvis Presley, upon completion of
My husband and I watched this it was really great to see Nancy and Elvis -- Great Show
This gem from 1960 featured two singing legends..Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley. Without a doubt,there is a lot of magic when these two music titans performed in this ABC-TV special. There are even some appearances by Nancy Sinatra, Joey Bishop,and Sammy Davis,Jr. I especially enjoyed the duet of Love Me Tender/Witchcraft. By the way get a load of the commercials from the legendary John Cameron Swayze for Timex! Timeless entertainment to enjoy!! -- Old Blue Eyes and The King...what a combination!
While I only rated this DVD a 3 out of 5 stars please recognize that this is only because of the relatively poor video quality. For any true fan of Sinatra, the Rat Pack or Elvis ownership of this DVD is a must. The commercials alone are worth the price of admission. It really is a hoot to watch Elvis flub his lines when singing the Sinatra hit "Witchcraft". -- Sinatra and Elvis
On May 12, 1960, Elvis Presley appeared in this special, that was hosted by Frank Sinatra, who must have only agreed to do this to promote himself. The show is an 1 hour long, but the disappointed, that even Elvis Presley was the guest star, he is in and out of this show for a good period of time, in which you might have forgotten that he was apart of this, he is in the beginning, and then is gone, and reappears again, when it is almost over. The songs/chapers are:

Witchcraft pefromed by Frank Sintra

See what I am eam Elvis Presley fans, you have to go through all these commericals, songs and segements, before you get to see your hero in this special. The Love Me Tender and Wifcraft medly is where Elvis Presley sings Witchcarft, and Frank Sintra, and they both have to do a deut together sugguest by somebody in this show. And this is coming then 2 months after Elvis Presley was discoraged by the army, maybe this special could have been perfect if we would have seen more Elvis and less Frank Sintra, but has to get 4 stars from me, but I am telling you what to expect. -- The series finale of TV Variety Shows Specials
There are two DVD's of this show. One was from the JAT production and this one that you are reading about is from Quantum Leap. So don't waste your money on JAT's version. This DVD from Quantum Leap gives you the complete show of "Welcome Home Elvis".
Plus an old Documentary of "The Story Of Elvis Presley". Back in 1991 my fist video that I ever own on Elvis was this documentary that you'll get as a bonus on the DVD. I believe that I bought it from Phar-more of Walmart. But anyway, I never new anything about this man until I bought this video. Now, we can now own it along with the Sinatra Show. It's not a great quality documentary but it gives me memories of how I started to be a collector of Elvis Presley. So Fan's get this DVD because it's a Classic moment with Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley. -- Attention Elvis/Sinatra fan's
