Elvis is a gemstone to Memphis and is a personal hero of mine. From rags to riches, he lived a life like no other, and no one to this day has a legacy as his. While in the limelight most his life, he showed that we all are imperfect and strive to do what is good and right.
1957 was a big year for the King of Rock-n-Roll. Sometime between singing his final performance on the Ed Sullivan show and draft papers being served to him at Graceland at Christmas, Elvis performed what many critics call Presley’s greatest moment on screen. Jailhouse Rock captured the true essence of rockabilly rebellion, much like the life of the King himself.
