Born in 1935 in a two-room house in Mississippi, Elvis Presley grew to become the most famous name in Rock & Roll and the best selling artist of all time, having sold over 1 billion albums worldwide. Inspired by country, gospel, and R&B, he burst on the scene in 1954 with a sound and style that was totally unique and paved the way for a new chapter in American music.
Now, Casey Kasem brings you the ultimate tribute to the "King of Rock & Roll."
This memorable and compelling program tells you the real story behind the legend: from Elvis' early days at Sun Records through serving his country in the U.S. Army, from the Vegas years to his final, tragic end at Graceland.

Featuring interviews with special guests Tom Jones, B.B. King, Sammy Davis, Jr., Ursula Andress, David Marsh, and more, this program pays homage to the greatest legend in American music and uncovers the many reasons for Elvis' enduring appeal.
