History was made when a young truck driver entered a recording studio in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1954 and gave birth to the sound of the century with “That’s All Right.” On Nov. 20, 1955, Elvis signed his first contract with RCA Records and later introduced the world to the toe-tapping, hip-swiveling “Heartbreak Hotel.” The single was released in January 1956 and went on to top the Billboard Top 100 for seven weeks, becoming Elvis’ first million-seller and one of the bestselling singles of 1956. The song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1995.

ELVIS’ CHRISTMAS ALBUM
This was Elvis’ first holiday album and his third studio album, charting first on Billboard Dec. 16, 1957, where it spent four weeks at No. 1. Traditional Christmas carols filled Side A, with Side B loaded with gospel greats. A few original songs were also included, like “Santa Bring My Baby Back (to Me)” and “Santa Claus Is Back in Town.” If you are a collector and stumble on this classic, look for the plastic shrink wrapping still intact and one that includes a gold-foiled “gift giving” sticker on top, which reads “TO __________, FROM _____________, ELVIS SINGS.” That added sticker makes it one of the more valuable Elvis albums. The King of Rock ’n’ Roll has sold more than 1 billion records.

ALOHA FROM HAWAII VIA SATELLITE
This historic Elvis concert was broadcast live around the world via satellite from Honolulu’s International Center Arena in January 1973. It was the television event of the year — the first full-length concert by any musician to be beamed worldwide. RCA Records was quick to follow with a companion double album soundtrack, Aloha From Hawaii via Satellite, which became Elvis’ first No. 1 album in years, and would ultimately be one of his fastest-selling, chart-topping albums of his career. His last live performance would be in Indianapolis on June 26, 1977.

Elvis Presley’s film debut was, fittingly, in a 1956 musical Western set during the Civil War. Originally named The Reno Brothers, then renamed after advanced sales of the single “Love Me Tender” passed 1 million, the historical drama followed Clint Reno, the youngest of four brothers, and the only one to stay home with his mother on the family farm when the others go off to fight in the war. Clint, mysteriously exempt from the draft, ends up marrying his older brother Vance’s girlfriend after they’re mistakenly informed of his death. When Vance returns home, jealousy and other issues rock the family, and eventually Clint dies in a shootout following a train robbery, which some fans were not pleased with, despite it making quite the memorable ending. Overall, the film came out to mixed reviews.

Elvis Presley’s second starring role came in the 1957 Loving You, a musical romantic drama about a Texas delivery man who is discovered by a country-western bandleader past his prime and his manipulative manager, played by Lizabeth Scott. As his fame grows, Elvis’ character falls for a female singer named Susan, played by Dolores Hart in her debut film role, as they tour the country together. Interestingly, Hart later gave up acting to become a Catholic nun. But first, she costarred with Elvis one more time in the 1958 film King Creole.

This crime drama/musical was one of the last films Presley made before his Army deployment and showed off his darker side. Elvis plays a high school dropout with musical ambitions who becomes mired in New Orleans’ seedy underworld. Helmed by Casablanca director Michael Curtiz, and based on a novel by Harold Robbins called A Stone for Danny Fisher, the film was partially shot in the French Quarter and features a strong supporting cast, such as Walter Matthau and Dolores Hart. The film was a box office and critical success, and anti-riot police had to be called to a premiere in Mexico City after 600 teenagers broke in without paying the admission fee.

Elvis’ first film after being discharged from the Army was this 1960 musical comedy directed by Norman Taurog, about a U.S. Army tank crewman with dreams of running his own nightclub. Presley portrayed Army Specialist Tulsa McLean, who plays in an Army band and performs in various nightclubs in West Germany. He and his commander make a bet over a club dancer named Lili (Juliet Prowse), but then the commander gets transferred to Alaska. Lili soon falls for Tulsa, of course, because Tulsa is Elvis. This film was nominated for two Grammy Awards, but audience and critical reception was mixed.

FLAMING STAR
One of Elvis’ most serious — and well-received — roles sees him play Pacer, the mixed-race son of white homesteader Sam Burton (John McIntire) and his second wife, Neddy (Dolores del Rio), a Kiowa Native American. When Neddy dies after white locals prevent her from getting help, Pacer must try to keep the peace both in the community and in his own home before the “flaming star of death” comes for him, too. Based on the Clair Huffaker book Flaming Lance, 1960’s Flaming Star was originally slated to star Marlon Brando as Pacer and Frank Sinatra as Pacer’s white half brother, Clint, before the studio opted for Elvis. And though the film’s racial prejudice plot was shockingly serious and violent for an “Elvis movie,” 20th Century Fox still insisted that he warble at least a few songs for the audience’s sake.

This 1961 film was not the light and fluffy singalong most fans were familiar with from the King’s film resumé. “20th Century Fox was trying to position him as a serious actor, which is what he asked for,” said film historian and Elvis aficionado Nick Redman. “Wild in the Country shows the kind of actor Elvis may have developed into if he hadn’t been at the behest of the image his management fought so hard to protect.” In the heavy drama, Elvis played a troubled young man who was sentenced to psychological counseling with a young doctor (Hope Lange). Despite a stellar cast and plot, the movie didn’t fare well at the box office.

Elvis is predictably charming as Chad Gates, an Army vet eager to ditch his fatigues for beach babes and blue water, in 1961’s Blue Hawaii. But Angela Lansbury steals her scenes as his upper-crust and uptight mother who wants her hunky son to ignore Hawaii’s temptations and join the family pineapple business. “Obviously, I was awed by being in [Elvis’] presence,” recalled Lansbury, who was only nine years older than her onscreen son in Blue Hawaii, “but he was an awfully nice young man in those days. … He had terrible problems of a very personal nature, but he’d just come out of the Army. … He was fit, he was slender and he was top of his form.” Though the critics offered up a collective “meh,” the film proved a massive hit and scored a Best Soundtrack Album Grammy nomination for its irresistibly tropical tunes.

Turner Classic Movies critic Jeff Stafford described this 1962 Elvis Presley starrer — based on the 1959 novel Pioneer, Go Home! — as The Beverly Hillbillies reimagined as homesteaders on the Florida coast. The King plays homeless Army vet Toby Kwimper, who, along with his good-hearted dad, Pop Kwimper (Picnic’s Arthur O’Connell), and a ragtag group of drifters, sets up camp on a Florida beach intent on running a sport fishing business. But gamblers, gangsters and bureaucrats each plot to thwart the crew’s makeshift home and plans to make a living. Presley released an EP, also titled Follow That Dream, whose title track reached No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100. A Follow That Dream fun fact: The movie was filmed at various sites around Florida, including Ocala, where a young Tom Petty got a peek at his idol. “It was a semi-religious experience,” Petty recalled in an interview with the Oxford American. “I mean, he glowed to me. … That was how I fell in love with rock ’n’ roll records — and that was my only interest ever since.”

The 1962 musical comedy Girls! Girls! Girls! saw Elvis take to the sea as Hawaii-based sailor Ross Carpenter, who must find a way to buy The Westwind, the fishing boat he built with his dad, after his boss retires. In the meantime, Ross also enjoys the attentions of the island’s bathing beauties, including a pair of lovestruck ladies who battle for his affections: swanky nightclub singer Robin (Stella Stevens) and winsome rich girl Laurel Dodge (Laurel Goodwin in her film debut). In Good Rockin’
Tonight, a memoir by Presley’s former manager, Joe Esposito, Elvis himself noted how much he visibly enjoyed one steamy dance scene with Goodwin, reportedly telling Esposito, “Damn pants were rubbing me the wrong way and I couldn’t stop the feeling.” The film’s soundtrack went gold, bolstered by the popularity of the title track and the smash hit “Return to Sender.” The movie was also nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Musical.

IT HAPPENED AT THE WORLD’S FAIR
The King of Rock ’n’ Roll as a Casanova crop duster? So it goes in the 1963 musical adventure It Happened at the World’s Fair, set against — and filmed at — the actual site of the Seattle Century 21 Exposition, aka the 1962 World’s Fair. Elvis stars as pilot Mike Edwards, who discovers that his business partner, Danny Burke (Gary Lockwood), has gambled them into debt. With their plane impounded, the pair hitch a ride with local farmer Walter Ling and his adorable niece Sue-Lin (Vicky Tiu) to, yes, the 1962 World’s Fair. There, Mike hopes to find his fortune, reclaim his plane and earn the heart of pretty nurse Diane Warren (Joan O’Brien, with whom Presley enjoyed a brief romance). Kurt Russell — who would be nominated for an Emmy for playing the King in the 1979 TV biopic Elvis — made his film debut as a boy who Mike pays to kick him in the shin so he can visit Nurse Warren. Russell admitted that Elvis had to pay the starstruck kid five bucks to do it.

VIVA LAS VEGAS
Elvis’ highest-grossing movie, 1964’s Viva Las Vegas, was also one of his most popular with audiences and movie critics alike, in large part because of his combustible chemistry with his real-life lover and costar Ann-Margret (who was also being wooed by the film’s director, George Sidney). In a familiar plot point, Elvis’ character — this time racecar driver Lucky Jackson — finds himself cash-strapped and in need of a new engine, and he must rely on his wits and musical talent to buy one. When Lucky crosses paths with sultry swim instructor Rusty Martin (Ann-Margret), he loses his cash and his heart and must find a way to win back both, plus the city’s first Grand Prix. Among the film’s most memorable highlights: Elvis putting a stage full of swiveling showgirls to shame as he performs the film’s title track in a single lusty take.

Seems like an iffy proposition to hire Elvis — or in this case, nightclub singer Rusty Wells — to keep your comely daughter in line during spring break in Fort Lauderdale. But that’s just what Chicago club owner Big Frank (Bridget Loves Bernie’s Harold J. Stone) does, paying Rusty and his lusty combo to head to Florida to keep his pretty coed, Valerie (Shelley Fabares, with whom Elvis would costar in three films), in line in 1965’s Girl Happy. When she learns of the arrangement, the spirited — and spirit swilling — Valerie makes Rusty’s job, and their chance at romance, even harder. The film featured Elvis as part of a band in an effort to lure Beatles-crazed teenyboppers, and touted a wiggly “new dance craze” called The Clam, created by Presley just for the film, and performed by a mob of spring breakers who pop up out of the scenery like prairie dogs.

Elvis suffers some Middle Eastern mayhem in 1965’s Harum Scarum, which was embraced by audiences but was a dud with the critics. Culled in part from the Rudolph Valentino silent film classic The Sheik, Harum Scarum reunites Elvis with his Girl Happy costar Mary Ann Mobley. The duo play karate-chopping American movie star Johnny Tyrone, whose Arab kidnappers think he has what it takes to kill their king (Alfred Hitchcock favorite Phillip Reed), and the king’s daughter, Princess Shalimar, who falls for Johnny and helps plot to save both him and her father. Though Elvis initially enjoyed his character description and get-ups, and made a milliondollar salary for the first time, he soon realized the film was a stinker, reportedly offering director Gene Nelson a photograph memento inscribed, “Someday we’ll do it right.”

Elvis Presley’s 31st and final film (1969) featured the music legend as a doctor who falls in love with a nun (played by Mary Tyler Moore) sent to a rough inner-city neighborhood in layman’s clothes while preparing for her final vows. The musical drama was the first to portray an autistic character, a nonverbal girl named Amanda (Lorena Kirk), and costarred Barbara McNair, Jane Elliot and Ed Asner, who would go on to costar with Moore again in The Mary Tyler Moore Show. It is currently considered Elvis’ worst-rated film, and is perhaps why it was his last.

In 1968, Elvis Presley was more of an omnipresent movie star than a rock ’n’ roll rebel, and his cinematic popularity was fading. The once invincible hit-maker and sex symbol wondered if he was already a has-been at age 33. But along came his December NBC special that explosively resurrected his career. Elvis — slim, burnished and more handsome than ever, clad in a form-fitting leather ensemble that matched his gleaming jet-black hair — sent the audience screaming and howling in appreciation for his chart-toppers. It was an unforgettable Christmas gift to his fans and to himself, and the King claimed his crown once more.

By the late ’60s, Elvis had had enough of making cinematic fluff and was worried that the British Invasion, coupled with his time away from the music scene, would cripple his rock star reputation. On the heels of his blistering 1968 comeback special, the 1970 documentary Elvis: That’s the Way It Is captured a sometimes exhausted-looking Elvis collarpopping and karate-chopping his way through his hits in a record-breaking series of summertime Vegas performances, while also showing him behind the scenes, having some fun and making sure those performances were perfected. The film reveals the post-movie star Elvis, now all spangly jumpsuits, oversized sunglasses and a bit of delusion, but sincerely grateful for the multitudes of faithful fans who still flocked to see him.
