Elvis Aaron Presley was born during the Great Depression into a poor family in Mississippi. They moved to Memphis during the early fifties, and as a struggling young truck driver, Elvis cut some demos as a gift for his beloved mother Gladys. The folks at RCA Victor knew that this young fellow named Elvis was destined for super stardom. He would eventually become the most successful solo artist of all time!
As 1972 was becoming more album friendly on both the FM and AM radio dials, Elvis returned to the studios of RCA Nashville and in various Memphis studios and would go on to record his 16th smash studio album ''Elvis Now''. Ever proving that he was indeed on top of his game, the amazing album featured a ten of his most soulful and country filled works ever captured on wax like the hit single ''Until It's Time For You To Go'' and more stellar fare such as Gordon Lightfoot's ''Early Morning Rain''and early reading of Kris Kristofferson's ''Help Me Make It Through The Night' and a rockin' gospel interpretation of The Beatles' ''Hey Jude.'' The Lp soon went on to achieve gold status and became one of his most memorable titles in his huge arsenal of masterful albums.
Thanks to his more wonderful tunes like his big hit ''Sylvia'' and an early rock and roll take on ''Fools Rush In'', this collection of Elvis Presley's latest tunes were just what the fans were yearning for, as the entire album truly showcased what Elvis was doing in 1972.....making great records for millions of his devoted fans!
