We shouldn't make the mistake of writing off a great artist because of all the clatter that came later. We should dwell in what he did that was so beautiful and everlasting, which was that great, great music.

Introduction

Most people know Elvis Presley as a larger-than-life figure who performed in flamboyant outfits and died young.

But that caricature does a disservice to both Elvis's immense impact on music and his complex inner life.

Thom Zimny is an Emmy-award-winning director who has worked with artists including Willie Nelson and Bruce Springsteen.

In this two-part documentary, Zimny examines the life and career of 'the king of rock and roll,' from his humble beginnings in Tupelo, Mississippi, to his rise to international stardom and his tragic death at age 42.
