Following up the success of our first Elvis DVD, "Elvis Presley..From the Beginning to the End" comes, " Elvis... A Generous Heart." Elvis is without a doubt the most beloved, idolized legendary star in history. Through his music, live performances and his films he brought joy to millions  of people around the world. But for all his accomplishments as an entertainer perhaps his greatest legacy was his enormous generosity. The new DVD, "Elvis...A Generous Heart" examines his wonderful legacy of generosity.

Some examples;

• The legendary "Aloha from Hawaii" concert  in 1973 raised more than $75,000 for cancer research.
• In 1964 Elvis purchased the FDR presidential yacht and donated it to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital,  who in turn raised $55,000 for research upon it's sale.
• Elvis Presley was the single largest  private contributor to the Pearl Harbor Memorial site in Hawaii.
• In 1975 he gave a concert in Jackson, Mississippi to raise funds for the victims of
  a tornado in his native state.  As a child Elvis had witnessed the devastation of a tornado.
• In 1968 Elvis auctioned one of his Rolls Royces to raise money for a charity that aided mentally handicapped children.

The list of his generous acts goes on and on and on. Through the use of new interviews,
new on-location filming, classic footage and photos, "Elvis... A Generous Heart" will be
one of the most definitive films ever made about the great generosity and kindness of
the King, Elvis Presley.

There can be no question whatsoever that Elvis Presley was one of the most influential Americans of the 20th century. In the world of music he was the MOST influential performer the world has ever known. To ths day hs impact as a singer and performer is monumental and he is still enormously beloved by millions and millions of people the world over - not to mention that he still sells millions of records every year!!!! His talent, good looks, sensuality, charisma, and good humor endeared him to his fans, as did the humility and human kindness he demonstrated throughout his life.

The upcoming DVD release of Elvis Presley: From the Beginning...to the End is a warm, moving and sensitive tribute to the King of Rock-n-Roll, and at the same time it is a comprehensive and detailed biography of his life - a life that has been lived by no other performer before or since.

Utilizing rare footage and photos from throughout the 42 years of his life, the film follows the Presley Story from his birth in Tupelo, Missippi, through his rise to a superstardom that has never been equaled, to his tragic and untimely death. It gives the viewer a very unique prospective on a unique one-of-a-kind life. Featured will be interviews with musicians and music historians, as well as on-location footage of many of the places where Elvis made history.

Beginning the their first performance in Liverpool and Hamburg nightclubs, this documentary - now available for the first time on DVD - follows the incredible rise of The Beatles to a worldwide phenomenon. You can feel the excitement and witness the hysteria surrounding their first trip to the United States for an appearance on the "Ed Sullivan Show". A performance that first exposed the four mop-tops to a North American Audience. There are many "behind the scenes" insights into the group giving us a glimpse into John, Paul, George and Ringo rarely seen.

We follow the boys on their journey through their first film, "A Hard Days Night," through an offhand remark by John Lennon that was so controversial; it caused many to boycott the band's records. The journey continues through the recording of "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," as we watch John, Paul, George and Ringo experiment with psychedelia and meditation before eventually embarking on separate musical and personal paths.

We meet Yoko Ono as she enters John's life and eventually that of The Beatles. We follow John& Yoko through their "Bed-In" for peace and the controversy that followed their relationship.

This DVD documents the energy of the '60s, the idealism of the '70s and - for some - the disillusionment of the '80s. Our saga ends tragically with John's death and John looking back and answering questions on life, drugs and peace. It's a stirring tribute to four boys from Liverpool who conquered the world and changed the direction of popular music forever.

Mahalia Jackson is the undisputed Queen of Gospel. In this 1950's performance, Mahalia combines the many influences that formed and helped create the Mahalia Jackson experience.

Songs such as You'll Never Walk Alone, The Lord's Prayer, Come On Children, Let's Sing, Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho and the classic I Believe are all given the emotional Mahalia Jackson touch. This 14 song collection is a rare opportunity to experience visually, as well as musically, the Queen of Gospel...Mahalia Jackson.
