Welcome Home Elvis was a 1960 television special on the ABC Television Network starring Frank Sinatra and featuring Elvis Presley in his first televised appearance following his military service in West Germany. The special, commonly known as Welcome Home Elvis, was officially titled It's Nice to Go Traveling, a reference to the Sinatra song "It's Nice to Go Trav'ling". This was Presley's first TV appearance in three years. This was also Frank Sinatra's fourth and final Timex sponsored outing for the 1959–60 television season.
The special also featured Sammy Davis, Jr., Joey Bishop, Peter Lawford, and Nancy Sinatra, who later starred with Elvis in his 1968 film Speedway.

Elvis performed "Stuck on You" and "Fame and Fortune", the A and B sides of his first post-army RCA Victor single release. He also performed a duet with Sinatra. Elvis sang Sinatra's 1957 Cy Coleman chart hit "Witchcraft" with Frank performing the 1956 Elvis classic "Love Me Tender". None of these performances were released on record until the 1980s. Presley also sang a verse during the opening production number, "It's Nice to Go Trav'ling", which has yet to be commercially released. The remainder of the special consisted of performances by the additional guest stars.
Peter Lawford and Sammy Davis Jr. sing a duet together in this show: "Shall We Dance?", after Davis did some impersonations. Davis also sang "There's A Boat Dat's Leaving Soon For New York" earlier that show. The show was a great success grabbing 41.5 percent of the ratings. Excerpts from this show appear in Warner Bros.' 1981 documentary film This Is Elvis.
