It was his most electric and influential time as a live performer.
The young and hungry Elvis, the rising star, burst onto stages
large and small-sexy, controversial, brimming with talent and
ambition. One lightning-hot year in Florida fueled his rise from
novelty act to headlining megastar. Elvis Ignited follows the
immensely talented musician through his tour of Florida in
1955-1956, where he played more concerts than in any other state in
the country and where he first became the object of worship, scorn,
and controversy. Bob Kealing interviews people who saw the King up
close in high school gymnasiums, nightclubs, radio stations, and
shopping centers, recalling the time-stands-still memories of
hearing his hit songs for the first time and the shrieks of young
fans at the sight of the young rockabilly god. Struck by a new kind
of music and performances so different from anything they had known
before, Floridians saw how special Elvis was before the rest of the
world caught on. Kealing continues the story through Elvis's years
in the army and the filming of Follow that Dream in Florida in
1961. Elvis's rise to fame in the Sunshine State was a turning
point in American music history. It was the arrival of rock and
roll.
