Nancy Sinatra - These Boots (Capitol Records)

Elvis-The Man, His Life, His Music - Hour 6 - On the weekend of the 75th birthday of Elvis if he had lived, Jerry went into his studio and started a new series of 20 shows about Elvis as told by his music, his friends and associates. One of the most in-depth documentary series of the King of Rock 'n' Roll ever done continues. This is the set-up of the series with Part One of the program set to tell the story of Elvis riding high upon his return from the Army, picking up his career and moving into a new direction of Elvis, the movie star. 
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.
No series would be complete about Elvis Presley if it did not feature some things about Elvis's personal manager, Colonel Tom Parker. This program 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.

Elvis-The Man, His Life, His Music - Hour 4 - 
Elvis had a good year in 1957 other than a brief skirmish over money with some of his band. His movies were doing well, he had a new contract for movies and he even had a ballad in the top 10 before the end of the year.
In several interviews he indicated he wanted to do better stage shows than anyone else and be known for quality music even though in 1957 he was defending rock 'n roll as have having a pretty side as well. This hour deals with how the Presley Parents handled their son's success and some of the business side of the making of legend.
