When The King Met The President
Dear Mr. President. First, I would like to introduce
myself. I am Elvis Presley and admire you and have great respect for
your office."
Martin Sheen looks at the King of Rock 'n' Roll's 1970 meeting with
President Nixon. In a storyline as fascinating as any created for
President Bartlet's White House, he reveals how Elvis approached Nixon
to offer his services to the United States Of America.
Elvis expressed a desire to be made a "Federal Agent at Large". He
wanted to communicate with, and report on, what he felt were harmful
factions threatening America and he believed his star status would allow
him a non-threatening entrance into the closed environment of these
groups. He arrived at the White House gate on the morning of December 21
with two bodyguards and some family photos and a commemorative World War
II pistol intended as gifts for the President.
Contributors include President Nixon's aides, Egil "Bud" Krogh and
Dwight Chapin, who were in the meeting with Elvis. We'll also hear from
Jerry Schilling, one of Elvis' inner circle, who was with him in the
Oval Office. He reveals why the meeting was so important to The King and
how the relationship continued beyond the first meeting. Sound Quality:

Suzi Quatro's Elvis
In a Memphis hotel room back in 1974, Suzi Quatro answered
the phone, expecting another routine query about her tour or current
hit, and heard a version of Elvis Presley's All Shook Up. A huge Elvis
fan, she was surprised, amazed and a little nervous to discover that the
call was actually from the King himself, inviting her to visit him at
his house, Graceland.
Suzi couldn't accept the invitation and she never went to
Graceland..until now. 35 years after the event, Suzi travels to Memphis
to make that long-delayed visit. She explores her life-long obsession
with Elvis, the connection she feels with him, and his influence on her
career.
On the way to Graceland, and in an attempt to discover the man behind
the image, Suzi visits Tupelo, Elvis' birthplace. She meets some of his
childhood friends who share some of their precious memories, including
the reason why Elvis was hopeless at fishing and the moving story behind
the final resting place of his still-born twin brother Jesse.
In Memphis itself, Suzi sees the council flat that was the Presley's
first big city home, his school and the places where he made his first
music, and meets the girl who Elvis walked home from school every day
for four years. Then it's on to Beale Street where Elvis found his
musical direction, Sun Studios, where he made his first recordings, &
Audobon Drive where he bought his first house.
Life long friend George Klein offers his own personal insight into the
Presley psyche, before Suzi finally makes the long-delayed; and highly
emotional; visit to Graceland itself.Sound Quality:

Elvis: The
Brand
Paul Gambaccini explores the continuing potency of the
Elvis brand. Made to commemorate what would have been Elvis Presley's
75th birthday, this is less the story of his music (though we will hear
some of that), more an enquiry into his undiminished fame and power as
an American icon.
In the first programme, Paul unlocks the components of the brand as they
evolved in Elvis's lifetime. Paul Gorman (author of The Look) considers
Presley's changing but always identifiable styles; from the pink and
black suits of the rockabilly years, to the comic book jumpsuits of the
Vegas years.
Paul also reflects of the mythology of Elvis' life, with the help of
"Memphis Mafia" member Jerry Shilling; former girlfriend Betty Burger;
and critics Greil Marcus and David Hepworth. He covers the early
poverty, Presley's encounter with Sam Phillips of Sun Records, his army
career, the profligacy and, of course, the music, to give an account of
why Elvis is STILL a highly bankable brand.Sound Quality:
