Five days before the 30th anniversary of the death of Elvis Presley, those who either knew or admired him share their thoughts and memories with consummate Presley fan Suzi Quatro. Expect commentary on the full throttle of the rock 'n' roll icon's career - from 50s Memphis to 70s Las Vegas - with recollections from singers Cliff Richard, Ray Walker (of the Jordanaires) and Robert Plant, guitarist James Burton, lyricist Tim Rice and songwriters Jimmy Webb, Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller.
