‘Elvis: The Rebirth of the King’ on BBC FOUR TV TONIGHT: The new documentary ‘Elvis: The Rebirth of the King’ (originally suggested for August 2017) will be shown on UK’s BBC Four TV over the Christmas period.
The publicity notes.. The widely accepted Elvis narrative is that The Vegas Period was the nadir of his career but this film argues that Elvis reached his peak, both as a singer and performer in the first few years of his Vegas period. He became, in those short years, the greatest performer on earth.
Elvis: Rebirth of The King, tracks this five year renaissance with some of his key musical and artistic collaborators of the period, including the creator of his most memorable jumpsuits, to celebrate the greatest pop reinvention of all time!
Directed by Mike Connolly, guest interviews include Steve Binder, Terry Blackwood, Tony Brown, Gene Chrisman, Gene Doucette, Larry Geller, Ginger & Mary Holladay, Greil Marcus, Bobby Wood and Reggie Young.
Tonight Fri 29 Dec 22:00 BBC FOUR
Repeated Sat 30 Dec 3AM BBC FOUR.
