An early look at Elvis
Presley’s rise to fame
Elvis Aaron Presley was the
undisputed king of Rock and Roll, but long before he earned this title he was another nervous 19 year old kid looking to make it in the big world. Together with his more experienced band mates, Scotty Moore and Bill Black, the trio headed on an unofficial one year tour, driving a 4,500 loop from Memphis and stopping for more than 200 one-night stands.
This fascinating documentary looks at the beginning of Elvis Presley’s 1954 - 1955 adventure with his band mates (whose first appearance was at the opening of a drug store). With seldom heard recordings of Elvis, and interviews with guitarist Scotty Moore, and others, experience the raw power and innocence of the man who would be King.
