A Man And His Music
This extraordinary episode examines ELVIS AND HIS AMAZING RELATION-SHIP TO MUSIC: His childhood influences, his early rockabilly sound, his coronation as the King of Rock 'n' Roll, the stories behind some of his biggest hits, the astonishing diversity in the music he created, and much, much more. You'll hear from the JORDANAIRES, who backed Elvis up throughout his career about the genesis of the Presley sound. You'll also hear funny and revealing stories from RIGHT INSIDE THE RECORDING STUDIO, told by the musicians who played alongside Elvis, as well as previously untold anecdotes and insight from such notables as MAC DAVIS, TONY ORLANDO, BARRY GIBB, RAY MANZAREK, JACKIE DeSHANNON, PATTI PAGE, KENNY ROGERS, GLEN CAMPBELL, BILL MEDLEY, and CONNIE STEVENS, just to name a few. And you'll take a fascinating, in-depth look at the historic jam session between THE KING AND THE FAB FOUR WHEN THE BEATLES PAID ELVIS A VISIT 1N 1965.

The Spiritual Soul Of Elvis
HIS FAVORITE MUSIC... WAS GOSPEL. Elvis via - raised in an environment that encouraged people to sing out in their devotion, and it was something that he carried with him into all of his music. Ask any-one who has ever heard Elvis sing and they will tell you of the amount and depth of feeling that he poured into his songs... All of that came from the per-son inside, the soul of Elvis Presley. In this program, you'll hear from LARRY GELLER, Elvis' friend and spiritual advisor, and JOE ESPOSITO, his closest con-fidant and road manager about his constant battle to make sense out of the life that would be scrutinized by millions. You'll also hear from the people closest to Elvis about the man within the legend, and his search for spiritual growth and fulfillment that started when he was a young boy in Tupelo and didn't end until his untimely death at the age of 42 at his beloved Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis is gone, but his soul is still alive... in the music he left for us.

Elvis Aaron Presley - The King of Rock'n'Roll

(January 8, 1935, Tupelo, MS – August 16, 1977, Memphis, TN)

Elvis Presley (full name Elvis Aaron Presley) is the most outstanding personality in showbiz ever since, and the most popular entertainer the world has ever seen! His musical influence within music history and its following generations of musicians is still unbroken. His huge 'Blast-Off' in the mid-1950s, the rising star from a simply called 'Hillbilly Cat' (at Sun Records) to a lascivious Rock'n'Roll singer with charisma, a male sex symbol (then at RCA Victor) soon popularized him as "The King of Rock'n'Roll" or simply "The King".

His first cut within his tremendous career happened between October 1958 and March 1960 while Elvis was on duty with the U.S. Army and stationed in Germany. It was there in 1959 when he met his later wife Priscilla Beaulieu at age 14. Elvis and Priscilla married on May 1, 1967 in Las Vegas (divorce in 1973). Elvis evolved into an all-around entertainer after his Army service and started starring in Hollywood films. 33 movies in total, including the two concert documentaries 'That's The Way It Is' and 'On Tour'. He again shook the world with his 1968 NBC Comeback TV Special after his movie period without any stage appearances.

This TV special included the first ever unplugged session presented together with musicians from the early days such as Scotty Moore and D.J. Fontana. 1973 saw THE TV mega event at all: Elvis Presley, 'Aloha From Hawaii via Satellite'! Elvis' Honolulu appearance, the first time that a show was broadcasted worldwide via satellite! He was ahead of his time! Elvis Presley had 148 US single chart hits, including some so-called double-sider when A- and B-side both hit the charts like his 1956 smash 'Don't Be Cruel b/w Hound Dog', plus 15 EP hits between 1956 and 1977. Two billion of sold media and sound carriers by Elvis Presley is the estimated number! He received 14 Grammy nominations until 1978 and three Grammy for his Gospel interpretations. Elvis was the youngest artist when honored with the Bing Crosby Award (Lifetime Achivement Award) in 1971.

He is presented in 5 Halls of Fame (Rock'n'Roll, Rockabilly, Country, Blues and Gospel). Six of his song interpretations are collected in the Grammy Hall of Fame. On top of it all Elvis Presley got the most gold and platinum records and a Diamond-Award. He definetly is the 'Best selling solo artist in U.S. History' (RIAA – Record Industry Association of America)!
