This title charts the life and achievements of the boy from Tupelo, Mississippi, from his first taste of fame in the early 1950s to his untimely death in 1977. Rare and classic photographs document in chronological order the important events in his life and career; his early concerts, the films, his time in the army, his marriage to Priscilla and birth of his daughter Lisa Marie, the resurgence of his career in the 1970s with the Las Vegas shows, and the gradual decline in his health.
