ALFRED WERTHEIMER began his career in 1951, publishing his work in such
magazines as Life and Paris
Match.
When RCA Victor asked him to photograph Elvis in 1956, Wertheimer turned
the assignment into a unique opportunity. No photographer ever again was allowed
the same intimate access.
1956 was the year Elvis released his first
record, made his first television appearance, and started his movie career. It
was the year he became a star.
Elvis 1956 features
images that are a national treasure, including photographs of Elvis never
before published: a unique visual record of one of the most exciting performers
of his time, one of the most influential of all time, the first true icon of
rock n roll. Here is the FIRST and LAST unguarded look at Elvis, featuring
images of him in every aspect of his life - from performance and with the fans,
to the recording studio and at home with his family.
Apart from Elvis' own recordings from this period, these images are the
most compelling vintage documents of Elvis in 1956, the year he changed the
world forever
