Elvis Circa 1956 , the raw exciting rockabilly recordings with Scotty Moore , DJ Fontana and Bill Black,before the greed and misguidance of Colonel Parker led him into all the dumb movies ,lack luster songs ,jumpsuites and endless destructive performances, that made Elvis a wreck and Parker rich .These seem to be the only images of many fans remember him for!!, but just listen to the early 50's Sun Sessions simple but brilliantly recorded Rockabilly songs of a 19 year old before that still excite me.
