The Memphis Flash
Description
This film looks behind the facts and between the lines and attempts to discover why and how Elvis Presley came to stardom. Why was rock 'n' roll invented in Memphis by a quiet young man with a passion for all types of music? How did the events that led up to that fateful session on July 5, 1954, conspire to create a brand new music and a brand new way of life for all those who came along in its wake? With contributions from those who were there at the time and from others who have studied the subject in depth, and with rare footage, photographs, and music from those pivotal sessions and subsequent recording dates, and with a host of other features, this film goes a long way in discovering the why and the how behind the phenomenon, Elvis Presley.
