Editorial Reviews

A poor, simple boy from Tupelo, Mississippi, he would change the course of popular music and culture forever. Yet his bizarre personal life would become as legendary as his hit songs. This unique biography traces the private Elvis, from his unusually close boyhood relationship with his mother, through his courtship and marriage to Priscilla, to his strange, nocturnal life at Graceland. Fact-filled and exhaustive, it includes interviews with members of his inner circle, called the Memphis Mafia, and rare home movie footage. It's a stunning story that captures not only the private Elvis, but the inescapable charisma and magnetism of Elvis the superstar. Share the life of the greatest rock 'n' roll star in history, one of this century's most fascinating and fabulous personalities.

This review is from: Biography - Elvis Presley: Story of a Legend [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is A&E story of the late King Of Rock and Roll. And it was done in 1993. And now you can buy this on video. The video tape is 50 minutes long. And this could be worth geeting for your Elvis Presley if you know one.

On January 8, 1946 Elvis Presley and his mom walked into a Tuelo Hardware store, in which Elvis wanted a 22 inch rife or was it a bicyle (depends where you read or hear about what Elvis wanted for his 11th birthday). But a worker showed him a guitar. His mother Gladys said to him, "It's this or nothing." But yoi must remember before Elvis Presley became famous he and is family was poor.
