CNN.com - The 50-year-old song that started it all - Jul 7, 2005: "Elvis was handsome. Elvis was charismatic. Elvis was dangerous. Elvis could sing 'all kinds,' as he himself once said. And, as he also said, 'I don't sound like nobody.' When a major, RCA, bought him from the independent Sun for $35,000, all bets were off.
'I think the miracle of Elvis wasn't just that he was telegenic,' says Phinney. 'It's that all of the music melted together in his mind. He was a man able to articulate what people wanted and reached for. ... It was all about tension and release.'"
