Music Masters, The: Elvis Presley - The Early Years

A Critique & Review...

Elvis Presley was responsible for changing the youth culture of the western world and the face of rock and roll forever. From his humble beginnings in Tupelo, Mississippi to his meteoric rise to world superstar to his tragic death in 1977 at the age of forty two. Elvis truly earned the title "The King." It is estimated that Elvis Presley has sold over 1.5 billion records worldwide and the sales keep rolling in as legions of new fans discover the wonderful voice and the sexuality that was "The King - Elvis Presley."

The programme features very early footage of Elvis during his college days and of his first tentative steps toward superstardom. In the DVD we also get a true measure of the man behind the music, of his entry into the military; of his devotion to his mother and how much he missed her when in Germany and then her premature death. The programme leads the viewer on a journey of memories and music in the life of a truly great talent.
