Before the days of Elvis wannabes and before the plethora of Elvis look alikes, there was Elvis.
Young and feisty, talented and sexy, Elvis Presley revolutionized pop music in the early sixties. His trailblazing renditions of blacks-only blues with rock shot him to the top of the charts and into the libidos of America's teenage girls.
Elvis' signature hip roll, considered too risque for prime time TV, prompted the famous order (to CBS cameramen of the Ed Sullivan Show) to photograph the King from the waist up. The exhibition Elvis: Grace and Grit looks at the early years of superstardom through his many CBS appearances.
Thirty-three never-exhibited-before candids and on air photographs document Elvis before the Las Vegas years -- during the meteoric rise of this star.
ELVIS: Grace and Grit was curated by John Filo,
director of photo operations at CBS. Filo is a former
photo editor for Newsweek and deputy picture editor
of Sports Illustrated. He won the 1971 Pulitzer Prize
for Spot News Photography. His photo of the student
killed at Kent State University by the Ohio National
Guard was one of the most compelling images of the
Vietnam era. Filo currently assigns, edits and
distributes photo coverage of CBS's current
programming and is responsible for the marketing
of the 30-million image CBS Photo Archive.
