EXCLUSIVE: The Legacy of Award-Winning Television Director Steve Binder in His Own Words
The legendary award-winning producer, director, Emmy winner and Golden Globe nominee, Steve Binder.
Steve has written, produced, and directed dozens of television shows and TV specials. It was his creative and visionary talents that ushered in new ways to entertain television audiences across the globe.
Steve Binder was a hidden talent working in the mailroom, until one man placed him in the director’s chair.
And at the time with no experience. But that soon changed, and with each year he was making television as well as music history.
He was influential in creating programming with racially and ethnically diverse casts, and broke the color barrier long before Norman Lear ever did.
The Los Angeles Times called Steve Binder’s first feature film, The T.A.M.I. Show, “the greatest of all rock and roll films.” From there it was Hullabaloo, to the famed Petula Clark TV Special with the ‘touch’ seen around the world.
He directed Diana Ross’ iconic concert in Central Park. Steve Binder is so talented, I believe he cued up the thunderstorm during her first set, that is still talked about today. The man knows how to get an audience’s attention with lighting, and maybe with lightening.
In 1968, lightening struck in the most mysterious of ways. He conceived, directed, and produced ELVIS, The ’68 TV Special for NBC. Elvis fans give sole credit to Steve Binder for saving and resurrecting Elvis’ career beginning on December 3rd, 1968 when 42% of US households tuning in, to watch Elvis regain his magic, and keep the crown as the King of Rock and Roll.
It is now my honor to welcome a gentleman that can only be described as a legend, an icon, a ground-breaking visionary who made stars into superstars and paved the way for today’s television shows and more.
The incomparable Steve Binder!

    Priscilla è molto grata nei confronti di Jerry Schilling perché grazie a lui lei ha potuto ricattare Elvis Presley e costringerlo a sposarla. Elvis aveva una relazione con Marvin GEE GEE Gambill perché Elvis era omosessuale e Jerry era gelosissimo della posizione di Marvin nella squadra di Elvis. Per guastare la festa a Marvin , Jerry raccontò tutto a Priscilla che stava per essere cacciata definitivamente da Graceland. Se Elvis non avesse sposato Priscilla lei avrebbe raccontato tutto ai giornali coinvolgendo Patsy cugina di Elvis e moglie di Marvin. Elvis sposò Priscilla per salvare la cugina .Jerry ha continuato a fare il Giuda a dare tutte le informazioni che servivano a Priscilla. Jerry dopo la morte di Elvis entrò nella camera da letto per aiutare Priscilla contro Ginger Alden. Jerry è un povero idiota ed Elvis provava una gran pena per lui, non lo stimava affatto.( tutto riferito da Joe Esposito al mio amico calabrese)

    Jerry Schilling wrote a book supposedly about Elvis but it is actually more all about himself. Plus he whitewashes the truth about Elvis in some misguided belief that he should protect his image. But knowing the truth about how much Elvis suffered and his terrible decline brings us the REAL Elvis -- a man and an artist who suffered terribly for their art. Give Jerry´s book a pass -- you get no sense of Elvis the man and a lot about Jerry´s life who was not a legendary figure so who cares. The great book on Elvis is the oral history by Alanna Nash -- a brilliant book in which Billy Smith, the cousin of Elvis, gives such deeply moving testimony that it makes one weep. Schilling´s book is a dull document of happy talk.

    I'm so happy for you!! I can resonate with your testimony. I was a feature stripper for ten years and partied with a lot of the famous rockstars in the late 80s, including Warrant in Denver...Cherry Pie was one of my top songs I performed to...got some crazy stories related to that matter. I went onto being a criminal defense investigator on national federal cases and very high profile cases. My husband who is serving two life sentences who was my client at one point brought me to Jesus! Usually it is the other way around where the public bring Jesus to the inmates. We had a divine connection! I left my career and have followed Jesus since 2011. Working on my autobiography..my testimony along with my husbands testimony..for nine years now...soon to be pubished in hopes to glorify God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit ...and most importantly to save many souls!❤
