New interviews with Elvis Presley have been released.
A new package, entitled Elvis 1956, is set to hit stores. The recordings show the King of Rock ‘N Roll at a point when he was just beginning his illustrious career.
Elvis, then only 21, can be heard in the five-disc box set which also includes live and studio recordings. They take place in Mississippi and reveal his love for cars and girls and his hope that fame will come his way. That fame came not long after those interviews.
"It's a documentation of what I think is rock music's most incredible year," Ernst Jorgensen, a music producer and Elvis catalog expert, said. "Nobody was prepared for Elvis."
"I don't smoke and I don't drink, and I love to go to movies," Elvis says."Maybe someday I'm going to have a home and a family of my own, and I'm not going to budge from it. I was an only child, but maybe my kids won't be."
He also explains why he couldn’t stand still while singing.
"Some people tap their feet, some people snap their fingers," he says, "and some people just sway back and forth. I just sort of do them all together, I guess."
Elvis 1956 will be in stores Sept. 27.
