The 3 Great Periods of Elvis’ Career

TVC 582.1: Musician, historian, producer, and author Chuck Harter joins Ed for the first of two programs that will celebrate the life and career of Elvis Presley. Chuck helped produce I, Elvis, a three-part profile of The King that originally aired in 1992 on the syndicated magazine series Hard Copy. While working on this project, Chuck not only interviewed and got to know several members of the Memphis Mafia (including Charlie Hodge, Lamar Fike, Sonny West, Marty Lacker, Jerry Schilling, and Billy Smith), but obtained first-hand knowledge and insight into Elvis from the people who knew him best. With the highly anticipated biopic Elvis opening in theaters this week, Chuck and Ed take a look at some of the other notable portrayals of The King in movies and on television, including Kurt Russell in Elvis (ABC, 1979), the short-lived but critically acclaimed Elvis weekly series starring Michael St. Gerard (ABC, 1990), and Elvis Meets Nixon (1997).  Want to advertise/sponsor our show?
