As part of the special, Presley also pioneered the \u201cUnplugged\u201d\u00a0performance style with an exclusive acoustic set. The soundtrack album went Top 10 following the special airing, shooting Presley back to the top of the\u00a0singles charts months later with \u201cIn the Ghetto\u201d and later in 1969, his first number one hit in seven years with &#8216;Suspicious Minds&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Random Ad stuff --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2076862002005673\" data-ad-slot=\"3107208401\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p><script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">CinEvents have expressed their delight in the release of this title \u201cTo be able to show this seminal performance on the big screen for the first time is a real\u00a0honour.
