HOST Kris Kristofferson
THE DEAL This two-hour special looks back at the early years of the man who came to be known as "The King of Rock and Roll." It traces Elvis Presley's life from his birth during the depth of the Depression in Tupelo, Miss., to his move to Memphis and his formative high school years, to his early struggles to launch a music career, and his triumphant return to Tupelo for a concert in 1956, on the same stage where, 11 years prior, he had famously lost a talent competition.
WHO TALKS Interviews with old friends, family members, co-workers, schoolmates and others who knew Elvis provide personal insights into his early years. Viewers will learn how shy Elvis was, how hard it was to convince him to perform, how he was taunted and picked on by others and about his father's incarceration and his mother's relentless campaign to get him paroled
