Elvis 75

The single CD version of the Elvis 75 collection! Here is a glittering collection fit for a king - in this case, THE undisputed, Once and Future King of Rock 'n' Roll. To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the birth of Elvis Aaron Presley comes Elvis 75. Spanning the breadth of Presley's monumental, rags-to-riches career, Elvis 75 presents an artist who exploded in the mid-1950s, when he shook up a buttoned-down world with his mold-breaking music, not to mention his sideburns, swiveling hips, flamboyant wardrobe, and raw sexuality. Until his death at 42 in 1977, he would move from rockabilly, rhythm and blues, bluegrass, and rock 'n' roll to country, pop, gospel, and even to light operatic fare to become one of the greatest and most-beloved entertainers the world has ever known. He would also sell several hundred million records. Featuring rare photographs and an incisive essay by respected music writer Billy Altman, Elvis 75 repeatedly demonstrates that, to paraphrase one of his more famous album titles, 50,000,000 Elvis fans - and counting - can't be wrong.
