For anyone who needs to understand what Elvis Presley was all about in the 1950s ... here's an example of the young artist at the peak of his early genius.

A simple but perfect pop-rock song (no drums, just Elvis keeping beat on the back of his guitar) produced by Presley himself, which hit number one on charts all over the world in 1957.

The astonishing film clips come from his performance in Tupelo during that same year.

It all seems so easy ... and that's the brilliance of it.
