This will not be a Kevin Fisher Elvis post--that is, it will be less than 5,000 words...
Watched TVLand's special on Elvis tonight. Observations:
1) My longsuffering and lovely wife DELAYED SHOPPING to watch Elvis (!!)
2) He was in a movie called King Creole; other (minor) players included Walter Matthau, Betty Davis, and Louis 'Satchmo' Armstrong playing backup to Elvis.
3) The early Elvis was a lot more vibrant and charged up than the late Elvis. Yah, the voice was more mature later on, as was the persona; but for pure heat, look before 1965 or so.
4) You could tell he hit it big by 1960: the backup band got bigger. A LOT bigger.
Whoa! He had talent!
