Heinrich Detering recounts the story of this American revolution: the emergence and evolution of Elvis Presley’s art; its social, cultural, and political connections to an era he himself transformed; and its enduring impact on the present day. This book opens up new perspectives on the life's work of an artist who remains endlessly fascinating, and on the social energies that found expression through him.

The 'Elvis Presley in Concert' movie was nominated in the categories 'Best Music Documentary' and 'Best Archival Documentary'.
Although the filmmakers had more than enough footage to justify a streaming-service miniseries, "EPiC" was edited to a relatively tidy 97 minutes to be a theatrical feature film, and enable Elvis to return to cinemas for the first time since the 1970s, when such documentaries as "Elvis: That's the Way It Is" and "Elvis on Tour" enjoyed theatrical distribution. Explained Redmond: "The big man with the big voice deserves the big screen."
The winners of the awards will be announced during a gala in Manhattan on November 8, 2026.
