March 05 - American Icon

A new magazine has been released in the "American Idols" series, entitled "Elvis - Inside the Life & Death of the Music Legend".

Synopsis:
Nearly 40 years after his death, The King is as much a part of American culture as he was during his lifetime, a true American Icon.  In Harris Publications’ special issue, we share an intimate look at Elvis, from his childhood in small-town Mississippi and his controversial rise to fame in the ‘50’s to his unlikely comeback in the late ‘60’s and his tragic last day.  He was a teen idol.  A legend. The King of Rock ‘n Roll.  But Elvis Presley was much more than that- he was a complicated man riddled with insecurities and weaknesses despite his profound talent, wealth and fame.  In photo-packed pages, we rediscover his movies and music and pull back the curtain on the women he loved and the demons that ultimately took him from us way too soon.
