Performer: Elvis Presley
Distributor: Sony Music Distribution ( Notes: This selection of Elvis Presley's celluloid output collects gems like "Love Me Tender," "King Creole," and "Jailhouse Rock," as well as his more ephemeral songs, including the mid-1960s "Clambake" and "Speedway." However, ELVIS MOVIES also features a surprising number of high quality mid- to late-period Elvis songs, including the frenetic "Viva Las Vegas," the cowboy theme "Charro!," and the Memphis-recorded "Change of Habit," from the last movie in which he featured in an acting role.
"Before Elvis, there was nothing," John Lennon once said. An overstatement, of course, but Elvis Presley's ascendance to superstardom in the mid-1950s kicked off a musical and social revolution whose impact has yet to abate. After the charming young man from Tupelo, Mississippi was discovered by Sun Records honcho Sam Phillips, the wise studio owner took Presley under his wing, leading to the landmark recording of his first single, "That's All Right (Mama)." The rest, of course, is well-documented history, with Elvis going on to conquer the pop charts, the box office, and beyond. He truly was the King, and his blend of country, pop, and R&B became the cornerstone of rock & roll.
