The reign of Elvis Presley began with his introduction to the world
in 1954 but was not interrupted by his death in 1977. In 2002, the year of the 25th anniversary of Elvis' death, I decided
to document what I call "The Elvis Phenomenon," i.e., the extraordinary manner in which fan devotion continues to
grow across generations extending from those who first experienced Elvis in 1954 to those unborn at the time of Elvis' death.
My two-year journey began in Tupelo, MS, and along the way I interacted with hundreds of persons who readily articulated the
impact Elvis had/is having upon their lives. Unlike my friend, Al Boren, who inspired this project, I never was a devoted
fan of Elvis but I do stand in awe of the fan dedication that will ensure the legacy of Elvis will remain on the road to forever. click
