Tiger Man (Comeback Special '68) - Elvis Presley - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Elvis Presley first recorded his version of "Tiger Man" in 1965, but it gained widespread recognition when he performed it during the informal, sit-down jam session of the Comeback Special, aired on December 3, 1968. Alongside classic hits like "That’s All Right" and "Heartbreak Hotel," "Tiger Man" stood out as a powerful, bluesy number that reaffirmed Elvis Presley as the "King of Rock ‘n’ Roll." Though originally recorded by Rufus Thomas in 1953 as a jump blues track, Elvis Presley made the song his own with a raw, electrifying performance that showcased his rock ‘n’ roll roots. Driven by Scotty Moore’s slashing guitar licks and D.J. Fontana’s crisp drumming, "Tiger Man" featured Elvis Presley at his best—playful, charismatic, and completely in control of his sound. His growling vocals and dynamic stage presence turned "Tiger Man" into a defining moment of the special, symbolizing his return to form after years of making Hollywood movies.
