[The Elvis Beat newsletter] Coming Soon. . .

I was 18 when I wrote this article back in 1993 for The Elvis Beat #4, my official Elvis Presley Fan Club newsletter.


Coming Soon. . .

Elvis In Hollywood: A documentary to be released on television and home video later this year. It will examine Elvis’ first four films and highlight his underrated acting talent. “With rare photographs, truly never-before-seen private film footage, and interviews with surviving crew members and co-stars, Elvis In Hollywood will take you on a wonderful, insightful journey behind the scenes of Love Me Tender, Loving You, Jailhouse Rock, and King Creole,” states Graceland Express. The documentary, produced by Jerry Schilling, will also include some previously unreleased Jailhouse Rock outtakes.

ELVIS: The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll – The 60s Sessions: A new CD boxed set to be released in August. This is the follow-up to last year’s ELVIS: The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll – The Complete 50s Masters, which went platinum and received three Grammy nominations.

America Comes To Graceland: A syndicated documentary to be aired on television August 15. Although it will be hosted live from Graceland, the broadcast will primarily consist of footage shot during Elvis Week ’92.

The Life And Times Of Elvis Presley: A companion piece to America Comes To Graceland that is to air in syndication the same week. This is an updated version of a 1987 BBC documentary which aired in two parts as Cut Me And I Bleed and I Don’t Sing Like Nobody.
