Elvis Presley cast a long shadow, the longest in the history of popular music. The Guinness Book of World Records lists 'The Man from Tupelo' as the most successful solo recording artist of all time, with more than 170 hit singles (including 107 Top Forty hits and 17 Number One hits) and over 80 top-selling albums. Presley's recording laurels also include the most consecutive #1 hits (10) and the most weeks at #1 (80).
Colossal sales, however, don't adequately capture the cultural tsunami that Elvis Presley created. His first performance was on a flatbed truck at the Memphis fairgrounds in 1954, and from that moment on, Elvis Presley electrified audiences with his crackling, up-tempo renditions of country and blues songs supported by some scandalous gyrations. Presley's vocal range gave him license to move freely between gospel ("Crying in the Chapel") and blues ("That's All Right") while joining other pioneers in the seminal days of rock 'n' roll. By 1956, when Presley premiered on the Ed Sullivan Show, he was pulling a viewing audience of 54 million.
By the early 1960's, Elvis Presley had become scarce in the realm of live music performances, focusing on his film career. Presley graced the screens of thirty-one movies and continued to release albums during filming. In 1968, he returned to the stage in the television broadcast Elvis Presley's '68 Comeback Special. The broadcast combined lavishly set and choreographed performances with informal recordings of live performances. It revealed the soulful, passionate Presley to television audiences, bringing back to the stage one of the worlds most beloved performers.
