Album Notes Personnel includes: Elvis Presley (vocals, acoustic guitar) The Jordanaires, The Imperials Quartet (background vocals). Had Elvis Presley done nothing else but record "That's Alright, Mama," his place in pop music history would be secure. With his first regional hit, Presley fused rhythm and blues with country, put a handsome white face out front for audiences to see, and in so doing legitimized beat music for white audiences. It is no understatement to call Presley the chief catalyst of the rock-and-roll era. During the 1950s, Presley's records spent a collective 53 weeks in the number one chart position. Only the Beatles can boast similar sales success. Presley's monumental accomplishments continued until his untimely death in 1977. After a stint in the Army, he spent a decade making profitable but forgettable movies. Then in 1968 he reestablished his artistic relevance with a spectacular television special and several great albums. During the last decade of his career, Presley's live show was the hottest ticket in America. A great singer first and last, Presley was equally adept at raunchy blues, lilting boogie, operatic pop, and country tear-jerkers. | Find errors in the product description?

To graceland, Sun Studios, down Beale street. Elvis is by far the #1 entertainer of all time. Always will be. Review ID: 10000000006266547 Was this review helpful? Report this review 2 of 2 people found this review helpful. This CD features many great Elvis songs. Most of them are (or at least were at the time of the first release) rare. You won't find these recordings on many of CDs. I just love the alternate version of "I Want You, I Need You, I Love You". That songs is worth the price alone. I just wish that there were a few more songs on this CD. It's a bit short. Review ID: 10000000006205713 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
