While performing, the veteran singers kept sending jokes and jabs to each other. At the end of the performance, Sinatra told Presley, “Man that’s pretty.”

In July 1959, it was announced that Presley would make an appearance on Sinatra’s variety TV show upon his release from the Army, according to Graceland.
