Towards the end of a seemingly hopeless recording session, 19-year-old Elvis Presley, eager to impress, discovered his own style of music!
HBO’s Elvis Presley: The Searcher, a two-part, three-hour documentary that focuses on Presley’s performance and artistry rather than his mere legend or his well documented decline before his early death in 1977, aims to correct that. The film gathers a wealth of primary source material, from home movies to newsreels to studio outtakes to old audio interviews with those close to Presley.
