liner notes:
The name Elvis Presley is synonymous for all superlatives which were invented by
the American showbusiness that has never been short of attractions anyhow.
Because the singer Eivis Presley within 20 years was not only mode the God of the
Pop Culture, but also became the incarnation of the eternally young Rock'n'Roll.
Today Elvis Presley is the highest paid entertainer in the world, he is the singer with
the biggest record sales and his popularity is incomparable. Even Frank Sinatra, the
Beatles or the Pope, according to a recent research, are not able to compete with the
"King". Elvis Presley's name is even better known throughout the world than Coca
Cola. His TV-Show from Honolulu, Hawaii, which was broadcast an January 14th,
1973 all over the world via satellite was seen by nearly one third of the globe's
population.
An important part of his career were the 33 movies which the actor Elvis Presley did
between 1956 and 1972. Contrary to normal film productions in his movies Elvis
Presley not only played the lead, but the movies were specially constructed and
produced for and around him. Because Elvis Presley did not appear publicly between
March 26th, 1961 and July 31st, 1969, these movies were the only media through
which he was available to his fans over this period.
As a film hero Elvis Presley was not a successor to James Dean, nor did he try to
become a second Marlon Brando - Elvis acted in light entertaining films only.
Nevertheless - or maybe because of that - his movies became bestsellers. The
popular demand was so great and the fans were rushing into the cinemas in droves
that the movie "Blue Hawaii", which was released in November, 1961, had to be

2. shown simultaneously in 530 cinemas throughout the USA alone.
Beside the colourful, uncomplicated and sometimes funny light entertainment movies
like "Girls! Girls! Girls!" "Fun In Acapulco" or "Viva Las Vegas", Elvis, who was
complemented by the "New York Times" in 1958 for his role in "King Creole" that he
has "good acting abilities and talent", also acted in some more serious films such as
"Flaming Star" or "Charro".
This album is dedicated to all the Elvis fans who remember the movies weli.
