Israel's dramatic, never-before-published photographs portray a young Elvis Presley during a pivotal year in his career, capturing his magnetic sensuality, physical grace, and innate sense of style. 61 photos.
Taken during the year Elvis turned 21, Wertheimer's photographs are a remarkable visual record of a defining time for rock 'n' roll's most enduring figure.
1950 : Elvis Presley, accède au rang de superstar. Son premier film engendre des scènes, d'hystérie collective, son 33 tours bat tous les records de ventes. Avec lui, souffle sur l'Amérique un nouveau vent de liberté, celui du rock' n' roll. Mais pour les teenagers, Elvis Presley, n'est qu'un chanteur. Son magnétisme sexuel est encore plus inédit que son timbre de voix. Elvis séduit les jeunes en provoquant la morale de l'Amérique profonde. Le grand photographe Marvin Israël a réussi à capter les moments les plus forts de cette année cruciale en suivant Elvis à la ville comme à la scène. Si ses photos révèlent un nouveau portrait de l'idole, elles composent également celui dune génération et d'un pays en émoi.
Alan Fortas and Alanna Nash present this close-up and unguarded portrait of Elvis.
Elvis Presley's two weeks in Las Vegas April-May 1956
“Outstanding pop-culture history.” —Newsday The “smart and zippy account” (The Wall Street Journal) of how Las Vegas saved Elvis and Elvis saved Las Vegas in the greatest musical comeback of all time. Elvis’s 1969 opening night in Vegas was his first time back on a live stage in more than eight years. His career had gone sour—bad movies, mediocre pop songs that no longer made the charts—and he’d been dismissed by most critics as over-the-hill. But in Vegas he played the biggest showroom in the biggest hotel in the city, drawing more people for his four-week engagement than any other show in Vegas history. His performance got rave reviews; “Suspicious Minds,” the song he introduced there, gave him his first number-one hit in seven years; and Elvis became Vegas’s biggest star. Over the next seven years, he performed more than 600 shows there, and sold out every one. Las Vegas was changed, too. By the end of the ‘60s, Vegas’ golden age—when the Rat Pack led a glittering array of stars who made it the nation’s premier live-entertainment center—was losing its luster. Elvis created a new kind of Vegas show: an over-the-top, rock-concert extravaganza. He set a new bar for Vegas performers, with the biggest salary, the biggest musical production, and the biggest promotion campaign the city had ever seen. He opened the door to a new generation of pop/rock artists and brought a new audience to Vegas—not the traditional well-heeled older gamblers, but a mass audience from Middle America that Vegas depends on for its success to this day. At once “a fascinating history of Vegas as gambling capital, celebrity playground, mob hangout, [and] entertainment Valhalla” (Rolling Stone) and the incredible “tale of how the King got his groove back” (Associated Press), Elvis in Vegas is a classic feel-good story for the ages.
The Big Elvis Quiz Volume One, from the author of Elvis Presley: Stories Behind the Songs, offers a variety of questions to test the knowledge of new and casual fans, as well as lifelong followers of The King. The quiz begins with questions from Elvis’ childhood and also tests the reader’s knowledge on Elvis’ parents, The King’s early recordings, Colonel Parker, Graceland as well as the big hits and early movies. Author Matt Shepherd says: “I hope this will provide fans with a quiz over the festive period about their favourite idol, the one and only Elvis. I had great fun putting the various quizzes together and I discovered things I didn’t know about Elvis. I hope this quiz book will also double up as a fact-finding mission for those wanting to learn more about one of the world’s greatest ever performers.” The Big Elvis Quiz Volume One features 250 questions. It is the first of a two-volume quiz book, which tackles questions on Elvis’ early life, first recordings, big hits from the 1950s, TV appearances and his earliest and some say best movies. The book ends in 1962 with two additional mixed quizzes tackling other highlights from Elvis’ career.
