Elvis Presley: The Legend (CD) (ISBN-13: 9798874865993)

From the heart of Memphis, the city where legends are born, emerged the greatest of them all--adored by millions, devoted to his music, and unwavering in his love for his mother. This icon, both mysterious and unmistakable, rose to reign as the unstoppable King of Rock 'n' Roll--Elvis Presley.

In his early days, Elvis was seen as a quiet high school outcast. But when the spotlight finally found him, he unleashed a voice that awakened the world and set its pulse to the rhythm of Rock 'n' Roll. Hear from Dixie Locke Emmons, Elvis' high school sweetheart, as she reveals unforgettable moments from his life before fame. Legendary figures like Dick Clark, Kenny Rogers, Ray Manzarek of The Doors, and Elvis' own drummer D.J. Fontana recount his television years, his controversial dance moves, and the raw, electrifying sound that defined an era.

Lifelong friends Joe Esposito and Charlie Hodge, along with icons like Bill Medley of The Righteous Brothers and Glen Campbell, paint a vivid picture of the King's world--from his love for girls and Cadillacs to the sanctuary of Graceland. Discover how gospel music, his service in the U.S. Army, his marriage to the beautiful Priscilla Beaulieu, and his triumphant return to Las Vegas shaped Elvis into the legend he became. Dive deep into the story of the one and only Elvis Presley.
