Thanks for posting! I have read alot of interviews with Steve Binder, but that's the first one where I have seen him interviewed.

Too bad that Elvis didn't have a creative guy like this managing him when he was alive instead of the 'ol Colonel Parker.

What a great interview. Ok, I loved that special. Everytime I watch it a few things come to mind. One you may not understand, but here goes, watching him play the guitar people never gave him much credit for that, guess what, he could play well. And Cilla, what was she thinking? **************** the man was hot, hot hot! So much talent in one man. If you know anything about music, you will notice that he has perfect pitch in his voice and perfect rythm. He doesn't miss a beat or a note. How many entertainers can you say that about. It was magic I tell ya. And he had such a heart and soul behind it. The interview say it all. Thanks for bring it to us.

You're welcome, everyone!

I was hoping Steve Binder would have brought up the time, when he told Elvis to walk down the street, just the two of them, without anyone noticing it was Elvis...

Binder also tells the interesting story of how Elvis came to him right before he was due onstage, already in the black leather, and said "I can not do this, I dont know what to say" An amazing story in light of the outcome of that special

I really really wish that Elvis had asked Steve Binder to take over being his manager from the Colonel. I'm willing to bet that things would have gone very differently for Elvis and he might still be here.
