📚 ELVIS BIOGRAPHY (1971-1973): EPISODE 11

WHAT NOW, WHAT NEXT, WHERE TO… “BACK TO THE ROUTINE AFTER THE TV SPECIAL”
By Club Elvis Spain

After the television special, Elvis returns to Los Angeles and prepares his next song in Las Vegas. The concerts will begin on January 26, 1973 and will conclude on February 23. The artist’s attitude drops completely, perhaps motivated by the return to routine and concerts. The concerts will be based on the repertoire that he performs in Hawaii, with some new features. While in Las Vegas, on January 28, the film “Elvis on Tour” wins a Golden Globe together with “Walls Of Fire” as best documentary of 1972. The award makes Elvis feel proud of his work. Also in Las Vegas, Elvis presents boxer Muhammad Ali in a robe made especially for Ali’s upcoming title fight with Joe Bugner. Ali gave Elvis his signed boxing gloves.

On March 1, 1973, Elvis and Colonel Parker sold the rights to Elvis and the music made to date to RCA and signed a new seven-year recording contract with RCA. Elvis and Colonel Parker also sign a new management contract, thus sharing profits 50/50.

On April 4, 1973, the special “Aloha From Hawaii” was seen on American television for the first time and achieved 57% of the audience. Elvis Presley’s paternal grandfather, Jessie dies on April 19, 1973 of a heart attack in Louisville. That same April Elvis goes on a concert tour of eight cities. From May 4 to 16, Elvis begins a new engagement at the Sahara Hotel in Lake Tahoe, Nevada.
