Elvis Presley doesn't really need more compilations - either single discs or box sets - in his catalog, but RCA's 1999 triple-disc set Artist of the Century does wind up filling a need, of sorts. Over the course of 75 tracks, nearly all of Elvis' most popular songs are presented in their original hit versions. Given the number of hits he had, plus the high quality of his recordings in the late '50s and late '60s, there are inevitably big songs missing, but many of his very biggest are here, and the first two discs, in particular, are quite strong (the late-'60s/'70s selections slip somewhat, lacking such necessary items as "Kentucky Rain" and "Moody Blue"). So, this winds up being good one-stop shopping for those who just want one fairly comprehensive Elvis set in their library - although you should be forewarned that "fairly" is the key word in that statement, since this will not contain all the hits or necessary recordings.

Elvis Presley belongs on the short list of artists who changed the course of popular music in the 20th century. He may not have invented rock & roll, but he was indisputably its first rock star, a singer whose charisma intertwined tightly with his natural talent for a combination that seemed combustible, sexy, and dangerous when Presley seized the imagination of America in 1956 with four successive number one singles in 1956. Elvis spent the next two decades near the top of the charts, weathering changes in fashion, self-inflicted career missteps, and comebacks as his music expanded and evolved.

La tirade est connue mais résume bien la situation : l’Amérique a eu plus de quarante présidents, mais un seul roi ! Né le 8 janvier 1935 à Tupelo dans le Mississippi, Elvis Aaron Presley ne passa que 42 années sur terre mais son influence sur la musique, sur la culture et sur la nation américaine ne se mesure pas vraiment. Une aura qui dépassera la personnification même de l’idiome rock. Voix, musique, gestuelle provocatrice et look : tout est là pour polir chaque recoin de l'icône Presley, d’abord idole des adolescents en quête de rébellion et qui deviendra une idole tout simplement mondialement populaire. Le King est le premier à associer rock’n’roll et attitude.

Elvis Presley mag dan de belangrijkste persoon zijn in de Amerikaanse populaire muziek van de 20e eeuw, maar daarmee is hij nog niet de beste en zeker niet de meest consistente. Niemand kan echter ontkennen dat deze muzikant het meest verantwoordelijk is geweest voor de groei van de internatational populariteit van rock & roll. Zijn muziek uit de vijftiger jaren legde de basis voor rock & roll; zijn explosieve en seksuele uitstraling tijdens optredens werden standaards voor het visuele imago van de muziek; zijn stem was ongelooflijk krachtig en veelzijdig.

Since The King of Rock 'n' Roll was the complete '50s masters, it was easy to assume that its five-disc '60s sequel, From Nashville to Memphis: The Essential 60's Masters, rounded up all the masters from that decade, which is simply not the case. The producers deliberately avoided the soundtracks to Elvis' movies, which perhaps makes sense, given that they are roundly and rightly disparaged as Presley's low point, which then opened the doors to presenting just what they judged as the best non-soundtrack recordings he made during the '60s.

A single-disc distillation of Sony Legacy's massive box set celebrating the 50th anniversary of Elvis Presley's '68 Comeback Special, this 2019 compilation covers ground that has been covered many times before. Back in 1968, RCA put out a soundtrack album to the special, and once the show entered in the realm of legend, it was repackaged on its anniversary three times over. All of this is a roundabout way of saying that The Best of the '68 Comeback contains a bunch of easily available material, yet none of the previous compilations assembled these tracks in precisely the same way (nor did they contain a new version of "If I Can Dream" plucked from NBC's anniversary special, a version distinguished by the presence of Shawn Mendes, Darius Rucker, Blake Shelton, Carrie Underwood, and Post Malone…not precisely a dream lineup for an Elvis fan).

This box features 75 Elvis songs from 1954 to 1960. These songs already existed before Elvis adopted them as his own. We collected 177 original versions of songs, which Elvis interpreted and compared them to the versions from Elvis. Both, popular songs and rarities are featured in this box. You are going to be surprised. Most of the Elvis fans do not even know that Elvis covered so many songs, he owned a huge record collection with records from various genres. Some people even think that "Blue Suede Shoes" is an Elvis song. You can also find the chart position of the American single charts from both, the original song and Elvis´ interpretation. To be on the safe side, we marked some songs with "probably" or "possibly", when the similarity is not too obvious. In some cases, it is more or less obvious that Elvis used a certain song as a draft, but we never talked to Elvis to confirm this.

They also disregarded the gospel recordings, saving them for the double-disc 1994 collection Amazing Grace: His Greatest Gospel Songs, leaving this as an overview of the best of his pop and rock material of the '60s, all recorded after he got back from the army…
