Elvis Presley Untamed Heart: The Complete Interviews

Elvis Aaron Presley or simply Elvis, was born in Tupelo, Mississippi ON January 8, 1935, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family when he was 13 years old. His music career began there in 1954, recording at Sun Records with producer Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African-American music to a wider audience. Presley, on rhythm acoustic guitar, and accompanied by lead guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, was a pioneer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country music and rhythm and blues. Presley's first RCA Victor single, "Heartbreak Hotel", was released in January 1956 and became a number-one hit in the United States.

In November 1956, Presley made his film debut in Love Me Tender. Drafted into military service in 1958, Presley relaunched his recording career two years later with some of his most commercially successful work. He held few concerts, however, and guided by his manager Colonel Tom Parker, proceeded to devote much of the 1960s to making films and soundtrack albums, most of them critically panned. In 1968, following a break from live performances, he returned to the stage in the television comeback special Elvis, which led to an extended Las Vegas concert residency.. Years of prescription drug abuse and unhealthy eating habits severely compromised his health, and he died suddenly in 1977 at his Graceland estate at the age of 42.
