Among many paternity suits and recording contracts, these cases also involve: Priscilla Presley, a bar called The Velvet Elvis, a death certificate investigation, a 16-hour-long documentary, a magazine photo spread, and an agreement with television host Geraldo Rivera. Enjoy this fun and intriguing look into the trials and tribulations of The King.

Elvis Aaron Presley was a true icon of 20th century American culture. His 23 years as a recording artist, concert entertainer, and motion picture idol brought him incredible adoration throughout the world. He received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at age 36, and over a hundred of his songs made the Top 40, including a dozen number-one hits. He sold some 600 million records during his lifetime, and thirty-six years after his death, Graceland Mansion still attracts over half a million visitors annually; the third most-visited home in the United States after the White House and the Biltmore Estate.
