On September 9, 1956, Elvis Presley shook up the establishment with his performance on The Ed Sullivan Show. But after several other appearances in the '50s, he took a 15-year break from television, only to reappear in the late '60s and early '70s with specials that revitalized his career. In addition to clips from these performances, this chronicle of Elvis' TV career includes reminiscences from friends and colleagues like Dick Clark, Ed McMahon, Kenny Rogers, and Ray Manzarek of the Doors.
