ELVIS ‘56

“Before Elvis there was nothing”
John Lennon

Featuring his early performances of some of the greatest rock and roll songs of all time.

Elvis needs no introduction. It was 50 years ago that The King made his breakthrough to superstardom. Elvis ’56, released on DVD courtesy of Wienerworld on March 13, 2006, is the definitive account of the rise of Elvis Presley during that great year.

From the moment Elvis burst onto TV screens in the Dorsey Brothers Show and the Ed Sullivan Show, music was never the same again. Both these shows, along with fantastic rare clips can be found on this DVD, which features Elvis giving amazing performances of some of the greatest rock and roll songs ever recorded, including Heartbreak Hotel, Blue Suede Shoes, Hound Dog, Blue Moon and Love Me Tender.

Elvis was not only a star but one of the most influential artists of all time. He racked up 149 songs on Billboard magazine’s top 100 chart, 114 of which achieved top 10 status and a staggering 18 reaching number one.

This is a true account of the beginning of the reign of The King. It certainly shows just how important his impact was on society at that time and that it still influences today.
