Peter Guralnick: “I’ll never forget the anticipation with which we greeted the show, having the opportunity to see our idol outside his celluloid wrappings for the very first time, knowing that we were bound to be disappointed. To our utter disbelief there he as, attired in black leather, his skin glistening, his hair long and greasy, his look forever young and callow.”

This is “skinny Elvis” as Billy Cowsill likes to call the music and the man at his peak. Among the songs are That’s All Right Mama, heartbreak Hotel, Blue Suede Shoes and Lawdy Miss Clawdy.
