Learn what his life was like growing up in poverty in Tupelo, MS, about his childhood as told by his father, Vernon, his rise to fame in the music world by his mid-twenties when the world lay at his feet, his military career, and sizable film career, and the pressures that led to his self-destructive behavior and early death. You'll also learn all the ups and downs in Elvis's life including intimate details about his relationship with his parents, his wife--Pricilla, the Memphis Mafia, and array of girlfriends with photos to match.
