Classic Frank Sinatra And Elvis Presley Duet From 1960

In 1960, Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley performed a duet together and now this special moment in time is resurfacing and it’s absolutely amazing to watch. Both of these talented musicians have truly stood the test of time and their songs have gone down in history as some of the greatest.

Their classics are still replayed and covered over and over again. Even though many try to imitate, there are no two people like Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley. On Saturday, March 26, 1960 ABC Television put on a special program with Frank Sinatra. Other artists such as Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Bishop, Nancy Sinatra, and Elvis Presley were also part of the show.

I’m sure this was amazing to watch the first time around, but it’s even more incredible watching the duet and knowing the legacy these two men left behind. It’s not everyday that you see two musical legends team up for a duet but that’s exactly what is happening today. A lot of people were surprised that these two ‘rivals’ would team up for a television program.

The special was filmed shortly after Elvis returned home from his stint in the military and he had been absent from the music scene for almost 2 years. He wasn’t sure if the public would still respond positively to him. Frank Sinatra was encouraged by his daughter, Nancy, to help Elvis out by welcoming him home with the television special. And now the duet has gone down in history as a famous moment between two musical greats.
