With the 50th Anniversary of Elvis Presley's release of 'That's Alright, Mama', and the 40th Anniversary of the Beatles musical explosion on the Ed Sullivan Show, most people feel they've heard all the stories concerning these two musical icons.

 

Some Elvis and Beatle fans may have heard of the one evening in August, 1965 when these legendary forces came together . . . to party . .  jam . . . and create one of the most un-talked about controversial meetings in Rock History.

But most fans do not know the story that occurred before and after this historic meeting between these two musical legends.

Writers Bruce Reid, Robert Stefanow, and Bruce Walker, have spent several years researching from various sources including books, magazines, videos, and live interviews. Based on this information they have written a movie screenplay entitled 'The King and the Queens Men'.

Author Robert Stefanow has personal insight into the life of Elvis Presley. Robert lived in Memphis for over 20 years and from 1978 to 1980 he helped with security at Graceland. During this time,  he developed a close relationship with Elvis' Family, friends, entourage, and the fans, which he maintains to this day. In 1987 Robert married Linda Gail ( the sister of Jerry Lee Louis) bringing him even closer to the inner circle of rock and roll legends. Robert spoke to such people as Charlie Hodge, Joe Esposito, Red and Sonny West, Jerry Schilling, Billy Smith, Dick Grove, Richard Davis ( Memphis Mafia members), and members of Elvis' family in order to gain  personal insight into the night Elvis met the Beatles.

We know the story contained in "The King and the Queens Men" will make a historic movie for Elvis and Beatles fans alike. Of all the stories pertaining to Elvis Presley and  the Beatles, this is the one True Story . . . . . yet to be told.

We still have an open Curtain Call for the Main Characters in this Movie.

Elvis Presley Video Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD

Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. + Plus Bonus DVD Audio.

This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.

The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.
