Reality with Bruce de Torres 16. Steve Binder
On Rumble (link is in the comments) and the usual podcast platforms.
Steve Binder conceived, directed, and produced ELVIS: The ‘68 Comeback Special, which TV Guide called “the second greatest musical moment in television history next to The Beatles' debut on the Ed Sullivan Show.”
Steve describes how Elvis trusted him, found the courage to defy his manager, the paranoid, possessive and bullying Colonel Tom Parker, and rediscovered the joy of performing for a live audience.
Steve recounts how he got started in television, his ground-breaking special with singer Petula Clark and Harry Belafonte, which shocked America when a white woman put her hand on a black man’s arm. We talk about Steve’s first film, The T.A.M.I. Show, which was called “the greatest of all rock 'n' roll films” by The Los Angeles Times.
And Steve says teaching a class in producing and directing for 30 years is the real thing that he is so thrilled at, helping young people learn television and the ethics and attitudes necessary for success in any field.
Steve is an active member of the Directors and Producers Guilds of America and serves as an adjunct professor at the University of Southern California. He has spoken frequently at the William S. Paley Media Center in Los Angeles and in New York, where special evenings have been devoted to his work in the entertainment industry. He is an Emmy and ACE award-winning producer, director, writer, educator, and Golden Globe nominee.
And his book, ELVIS ’68 COMEBACK: The Story Behind the Special, is available at Amazon and the usual sellers.
