Editorial Review:
Description
Why Elvis? Is an uncommon documentary about an unlikely hero and an unbelievable phenomenon which continues to arouse curiosity around the world. This revealing program explores both the life of Elvis Presley and the mythical proportions of his memory. Why Elvis? draws from nearly one hundred interviews with people from every realm of the Elvis world who tell stories never-before-heard outside of Memphis. Interviewees includes Elvis' first record producer, his guitar player and drummer, the blues musician who Elvis learned his moves from, a country musician who fired Elvis from his first job as a singer, four of Elvis' high school classmates, his barber from the 50's, his secretary, and his nurse from his last few years. We also visit with some of his fans, whose devotion is unlike anything else in popular culture, and meet many others who remember Elvis: The Man. We also hear from respected writers, scholars and other observers who comment on Elvis: The Myth. Elvis is the only guy that I know of that has done more, really more for America than anything in America, except the American Flag". Sam Phillips, Founder of Sun Records.
