While it may be close on 29 years since 'The King' left the building, there is little evidence that his passing has in any way diminished his commanding position as the greatest rock 'n' roll hero of all time.
But where did it all start, and what fuelled the man's incredible spiral to international stardom during those early years? 1956 was Elvis Presley's breakthrough year and this programme takes you back, including his early television performances on the Dorsey Brothers Show and The Ed Sullivan Show (where the cameramen were instructed not to shoot the lower half of his body!)
This programme features an entire hour of rare footage and performances, captured during the amazing year when Elvis Presley became not only a star, but the most influential artist of all time. His career saw him rack up 149 songs on Billboard magazine's Top 100 Chart, 114 of them achieving Top 10 status and a staggering 18 reaching the coveted No. 1 spot.
So slip on your blue suede shoes and step back to the beginning of an era, with rare early recordings and never-before-seen footage.
