About this movie

"Everybody, let's rock!" Rock'n'roll legend Elvis Presley makes his feature film debut in this critically-acclaimed classic. While serving time for manslaughter, young Elvis is taught how to play the guitar by his cellmate. After winning over the hardened inmates with his musical talent, he's released and struggles to become a major recording star. But conflict arises when his cellmate demands a cut of the action. Considered by many to be the best of the Presley films, it features a golden collection of Elvis standards, including "Treat Me Nice" and the Elvis-choreographed inmate dance number, "Jailhouse Rock." With Dean Jones ("Clear and Present Danger," "The Love Bug") and Mickey Shaughnessy ("From Here to Eternity").

This has been one of my favorites since I viewed it as a pre-teen. I imulated every song and began singing Elvis tunes and eventually began writing my own. Needless to say, the king of rock n' roll, inspired me to play, write, sing and create my own licks that I hope one day, there may be someone who wants to play and sing & write from what they hear from me...
