This film tells the unusual story that lies behind the making of Elvis Presley's first album for RCA Records in 1956 and of his meteoric rise to superstardom. In Memphis, Sam Phillips, founder of Sun Records, gives the inside story of those groundbreaking days when he auditioned, produced and befriended Elvis. Scotty Moore (guitar) and D.J. Fontana (drums) describe how they helped Elvis record the album in Nashville and New York, aiming for "feel, not perfection." They recall, with rare home movie footage, how they toured 400 miles a day in Elvis' pink Cadillac, rehearsing the songs that Elvis would immortalize in that first album.

The film is filled with performances from '55 and '56, interviews with Elvis and rare home movie footage of him at play and work, offering fresh insights into his life and his recordings. Featured songs include "Blue Suede Shoes," "Shake Rattle and Roll," "Tutti Frutti," "Money Honey" and Elvis' first million-seller "Heartbreak Hotel" as well as songs from his early Sun sessions like "Mystery Train," "Baby Let's Play House" and "That's All Right."
