Back in 1968, Elvis Presley’s popularity was waning — until that December, when NBC broadcasted a concert featuring the King of Rock and Roll. That show became known as one of the greatest TV performances of all time.

A new documentary, “Reinventing Elvis: The ‘68 Comeback,” tells the story of how it revived his career.

John Scheinfeld directed the documentary. He joined Lisa McRee with a preview.
