Elvis: Behind The Legend exposes the true motivations and desires of Elvis Presley that were in plain sight, yet his ardent followers turned a blind eye to. The truth is that the signs were there all along, but nobody was paying attention. Similar to Bob Dylan, Presley was ultimately assigned a title and image that he never aspired to.
Elvis Presley’s public image as The King of Rock and Roll was constantly at war with his inner desires: the rock and roll revolutionary who wanted to be a mainstream pop star, the teen heartthrob who wanted to be a serious actor, the defiant rebel who dutifully served in the military, the sex god who released religious gospel records and the anti-establishment symbol who proudly shook hands with President Nixon.
Behind closed doors, Presley was meditative and philosophical. He was an extremely spiritual person who was well-read and treasured gospel music above all musical genres. Realizing that he had an image to maintain, Elvis kept many of his true passions hidden from the public.
