He didn’t have to sing about being born in a two room shack: he was. But from this humble start, Elvis Presley was to become the world’s most famous man, and the most important artist in the history of recorded sound. His shack? It’s still there, listed as a state historical site.

In the company of hosts who have dedicated their lives to the memory of this extraordinary man, we visit Tupelo, his home town, and journey deep into Elvis territory.

As well as Elvis’ place of birth, amongst other locations we get to see Priceville Cemetery, where his stillborn twin lies buried, his elementary and junior high schools, and the shop where he bought his first guitar. Our journey’s end is Nashville, and includes the Grand Ole Opry, where after his first appearance; a decision was taken never to invite him back!

This is the realm of the one and only king of rock’n’roll there will ever be.
