    Worst Elvis Documentary

    First, for a subject (Elvis Presley) that has been extremely well documented, they either skip many facts or just make them up. They mention Bob Neal became manager but skip the fact Scotty Moore was actually Elvis's first manager. And what's with calling Scotty Moore "Winfield?" Yes it's his real first name, but the entire Elvis world knows him as Scotty. They also get most of the story leading to the first Sun studio session wrong as if they just made it up.

The hour-long episode is strong on newsreel footage, including many press conferences Elvis gave over the decades, but weak on film clips and music. The only clips from Elvis' Hollywood movies that are used are all from trailers, which vary in quality from poor to adequate, with some trailers suffering from seriously faded color. (Later DVD box set releases have excellent quality trailers, indicating that the producers of this Biography segment used whatever

    Elvis Aaron Presley was born on January 8, 1935 in East Tupelo, Mississippi, to Gladys Presley (née Gladys Love Smith) and Vernon Presley (Vernon Elvis Presley). He had a twin brother who was stillborn. In 1948, Elvis and his parents moved to Memphis, Tennessee where he attended Humes High School. In 1953, he attended the senior prom with the current girl he was courting, Regis Wilson. After graduating from high school in Memphis, Elvis took odd jobs working as a movie theater usher and a truck driver for Crown Electric Company. He began singing locally as "The Hillbilly Cat", then signed with a local recording company, and then with RCA in 1955.

    Elvis did much to establish early rock and roll music. He began his career as a performer of rockabilly, an up-tempo fusion of country music and rhythm and blues, with a strong backbeat. His novel versions of existing songs, mixing 'black' and 'white' sounds, made him popular - and controversial - as did his uni
