About this title

Synopsis

Hail to the King! These incredible photos of the youthful Elvis, taken as he prepared and performed on the Milton Berle show in 1956, capture all his sex appeal and incomparable charisma. Presley appears at the height of his glory, caught in a variety of moods. There he is, signing autographs with his arms slung casually around two girls' shoulders. Rehearsing with Uncle Miltie, he gazes pensively at the floor. Other times, he stares directly into the camera, pouting ever so slightly, or sings with the band, his face alight with laughter. Almost all the pictures seem delightfully unposed and relaxed. Though no still image can fully capture Elvis in motion, the series of performance shots do justice to the movements that set millions of teenage girls screaming -- and caused critics to attack his "suggestiveness". With his knees twisting in, his hips swiveled to the side, his arms akimbo, Elvis's dynamism and energy come vividly through the pages. The accompanying text gives all the lowdown on the show and the popular reaction to the performance. If you love Elvis tender, this book is a must.
