bring an elvis fan... part 4


as a fan. you need to know everything there is to know about the star. and that what i done with ELVIS. i look-up things about him. shooting was soon to begin on another film, JAIL HOUSE ROCK, in which elvis plays a bad boy who reforms in prison and goes on to become a famous singing star. it was one of his best movies, with specially commissioned songs by leiber & stoller who came out to hollywood to oversee the recording. unfortunately . one of the colonel.s stipulations in his management of ELVIS was to make sure that the writers of his songs handed over a percentage of their royalties. word of this soon got a round, seriously limiting the selection of songs elvis was offered in later years-to the point that it begain to damage his career. all the colonel wanted was money, he did.n really want elvis. all he was doing was useing him. and that went on for year. right up untill elvis die. watch elvis at his best in this film, JAIL HOUSE ROCK
