On his eleventh birthday Elvis received a guitar from his parents Vernon and Gladys Presley, a disappointment to the young boy who was wishing for a rifle or a bicycle. Soon, with lessons from his uncle, Presley and his guitar were inseparable - and the King was on his way. This 90-minute documentary explores the early life of the future superstar, from his birth in Tupelo in 1935 to his breakthrough circa 1956, with photographs, interviews, recordings, and never-before-seen home movies that serve to separate the man from the myth.
