Elvis Aaron Presley was born during The Great Depression into a poor family in Mississippi. They moved to Memphis during the early fifties, and as a struggling young truck driver, he cut some demos at Sun Studios as a gift for his beloved mother Gladys. These initial songs, of which he had only paid a few dollars to record, would become the catalyst that would kick-start the beginnings of a soon to be worldwide superstar unlike the world has ever known.
The folks at RCA Victor knew that this young fellow named Elvis was destined for superstardom. They quickly bought out his contract and signed the legend to a long term deal, and his first RCA single Heartbreak Hotel forever etched The King Of Rock And Roll trademark to his name.
In 1958 after several chart topping albums and a bevy of number one singles, more incredible fame followed as the King Creole movie starring Elvis Presley became a box office smash. The soundtrack album also was a blockbuster as it topped the charts, making this his sixth smash album in a row! Both the King Creole movie and soundtrack LP truly proved once again that his
career was unlike any other in music history.
Filled with more hits than a New Orleans jukebox, the King Creole album takes off with several smashes in a row, including the classic title track rocker King Creole featuring Scotty Moores trail blazing guitar work and the chart topping single Hard Headed Woman. More soundtrack treasures follow with the beautiful ballad Young Dreams and the rockin blues of his huge classic Trouble, which truly made the album a treasure trove of hits. The album also features the stellar bayou rock blues of Crawfish which amazingly sounds like some of the classic southern rock sounds to grace the radio throughout the sixties and seventies. In total, the album showcases 11 important Elvis Presley recordings which have truly gone on to become international classics.
