Video Description
In 1957, Timex sponsored a series of 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 his National Service. This video, remastered from the archive tape of the original show in its entirety, including the sponsor’s promotional segments. Whilst the quality of reproduction does not meet modern technological standards, it is a rare record of two of the most popular performers of the twentieth century performing together.
