00:00:07.229 --> 00:00:10.409
[ MUSIC ] Elvis Presley's Graceland is a bit of a time 

2
00:00:10.409 --> 00:00:14.579
capsule of that 50's, 60's and 70's era. You'll 

3
00:00:14.579 --> 00:00:18.649
see the classic stylings of the 60's as you walk in 

4
00:00:18.649 --> 00:00:21.514
immediately into the foyer and the living and dining 

5
00:00:21.514 --> 00:00:23.519
room. Your gonna see the white carpet, the white 

6
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:27.539
walls. The blue curtains, the custom 15 foot white 

7
00:00:27.579 --> 00:00:30.039
couch were all things that Elvis really had a hand in 

8
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:33.569
picking. For Elvis, Memphis was home. It was kind of a 

9
00:00:33.609 --> 00:00:36.579
place to escape the madness of the Hollywood 

10
00:00:36.609 --> 00:00:42.499
lifestyle. And Graceland was that refuge. Elvis 

11
00:00:42.499 --> 00:00:47.449
kind of was the triple threat. He was the star Of 

12
00:00:47.449 --> 00:00:51.769
screen, on television, as well as in the studio. He was 

13
00:00:51.769 --> 00:00:54.119
kind of the whole package. Through the exhibits you'll 

14
00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:56.664
not only see the gold records, the Grammy awards, 

15
00:00:56.664 --> 00:00:59.839
but you'll also see some of the merchandise. Elvis was 

16
00:00:59.839 --> 00:01:03.119
the first celebrity to truly be merchandised. Elvis 

17
00:01:03.139 --> 00:01:05.209
continues to be one of the top recording artists of all 

18
00:01:05.209 --> 00:01:07.679
time. He has a tremendous number of downloads on 

19
00:01:07.709 --> 00:01:10.889
iTunes and all sorts of digital sites And then new 

20
00:01:10.889 --> 00:01:14.269
creations of his music. His vocal tracks were recently 

21
00:01:14.269 --> 00:01:16.719
paired with recordings from the Royal Philharmonic 

22
00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:19.729
Orchestra, and that was the number one album across 

23
00:01:19.729 --> 00:01:22.769
Europe. And so the king is still generating gold, 

24
00:01:22.789 --> 00:01:25.359
platinum, and multi platinum records. The Jungle 

25
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:29.389
Room was known as the den. Its decor was inspired by 

26
00:01:29.389 --> 00:01:32.559
Hawaii, and so that room Kind of channels the lush 

27
00:01:32.619 --> 00:01:36.689
green, the Tiki Totem style carvings down 

28
00:01:36.689 --> 00:01:39.919
in the furniture. There's even a waterfall in the room, 

29
00:01:39.919 --> 00:01:44.114
so it's really over the top, definitely 70s. We 

30
00:01:44.114 --> 00:01:46.914
have over 20 motorized vehicles that were owned by 

31
00:01:46.914 --> 00:01:49.449
the King of Rock and Roll, from the famous pink 

32
00:01:49.449 --> 00:01:53.774
Cadillac to Rolls- Royce's, and we also showcase Elvis 

33
00:01:53.774 --> 00:01:56.937
Presley used two personal planes decked out to the 

34
00:01:56.937 --> 00:01:57.909
king's taste. [ MUSIC ]
