The King of rock and roll, Elvis Presley, is a legendary icon in the music world. From his trademark lip curl, his awesome hair, and his gyrating hips, Elvis captured the hearts of many a teenybopper in his day. His influence of pop culture and the music universe can still be felt today through Elvis impersonators, retrospectives, and the still-popular Graceland.
Back in the mid-sixties, when Elvis’ star was still on the rise, he appeared on the popular variety program The Ed Sullivan Show. This DVD is a collection of all of Presley’s performances on the show throughout the years, and you can tell from the first appearance that he was destined for iconic status.
