ELVIS
The Man and His Music



Reprise- Elvis, the Man, His Life and His Music - No series would be complete about Elvis Presley if it did not feature some things about Elvis's personal manager, Colonel Tom Parker. This segment features some rare comments about Elvis by Colonel Tom Parker as well some personal comments about Elvis and the Colonel by some of the Elvis Mafia, the men who hung around Elvis. Parker's association stretched from early Elvis in the early 50s thru his death in 1977 but much of the continued success of Elvis popularity, which is still going strong almost 30 years after his death, can be attributed to Parker and his efforts until his own death.

In Part 2, Elvis returns home from the Army to entertainment Icon status, just as he had left off when he was drafted two years earlier in 1958. Elvis quickly signs the most expensive guest stint for TV up to that time with none other than Frank Sinatra. Presley does a recording session in Nashville but quickly returns to Hollywood to pick up his movie career. By all accounts Elvis was excited about his movies but gradually tired of the same formula that Hollywood and his manager Col. Tom Parker seemed to be content in using, picture after picture. He returned home to Memphis and his beloved Graceland between films but could see his career was fading, so he took a giant step that revived his career with a Number One song by the end of the 60s decade and for the first time went against the Colonel's advice on song content.
