(JAT) Paperback, 21.5x28 cm, English, 320 pages, many rare b/w and color illustrations!

Original first printing with 21.5x24 cm high quality bonus photo (Elvis backstage with Honolulu Show Advertiser and Columnist Eddie Sherman, January 13,1973)!

This book will give the reader a unique opportunity to see Elvis Presley's chart placings that have appeared for more than 45 years in Billboard magazine and over 30 years in Cash Box magazine. Concerning Billboard, we will list every Elvis Presley single on the Pop, Country, Easy Listening, Rhythm and Blues, and seasonal Christmas charts, plus chart information on Under The 100 Pop Singles (songs that charted below 100). Also included, but not a Billboard chart are 100 Bound Pop Singles (songs that debuted at 100 or more but eventually charted into the Hot 100). Beginning in mid-1957 to 1958, (see history of the Billboard charts) Jockeys, Best Sellers, and Jukeboxes were being discontinued on the Pop, Country, and Rhythm and Blues Singles. This left the Pop, Country, and R & B singles with only one chart. The Top Pop Single chart changed its name to the famous Hot 100 on August 4, 1958. We will also list every Elvis Presley album that ranked on the Pop, Country, and Christmas charts. On all singles and album charts we list the chart debut date, the number of weeks on the chart, and of course, the peak position, plus recording information and other pertinent facts. Finally, (and this pertains only to the Top / Hot 100 Pop Single chart) we list the position the song debuted on. In the second half of the book, we will be listing Elvis singles and albums that made the Billboard Year End Reviews in all musical categories for the most popular single or album of that individual year. Two short lived charts included in the book were Best Selling Sheet Music chart which began March 24, 1956 and ended June 17, 1957 and the Best Selling Pop EP's chart which began October 7, 1957 and ended October 10, 1960. We will also do a summation of Elvis the live per-former as well as his ranking in various categories of musical achievements. Additionally, we will be listing Elvis chart placings as determined by Cash Box magazine, including a significant amount of Cash Box reviews. Rounding out the book will be a complete discography, a revised list of gold, platinum, and multi-platinum singles, EP's, albums, Grammy awards, and chart index.

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)! Elvis Presley CD albums, vinyl records as LPs or singles at 45rpm - Bear Family offers a huge number of various Elvis Presley CDs, vinyl-LPs and 45rpm singles, vinyl- and CD box sets, books and mags, DVDs, unique and extraordinairy memorabilia! Let's say it in the words of one of Elvis sixties album title: There is "Something For Everybody"! And hey, you name it! Elvis Presley is the King of Rock'n'Roll, the biggest icon in showbusiness, and a great person who lives on forever!

Bear Family Records treats his legacy with the most respect and an optimum capacity of expert knowledge.

Great Reference Book!

Tunzi's book covers all the bases; it's a wonderful compendium of chart data and accompanying Billboard Magazine page reproductions (and more!) from Presley's prolific career. A must-have for any Elvis fan.
