Elvis Presley‘s Tcb logo is synonymous with the King of Rock and Roll. However, before it became intrinsically linked to everything Elvis, it began as a Priscilla Presley doodle.
Priscilla Presley shared the real story behind the Tcb logo on Instagram
Priscilla Presley shared a video filmed in Graceland’s TV room to Instagram, where she shared the real story behind Elvis Presley’s iconic Tcb logo. The original clip was filmed in 1984 and was part of a VHS documentary titled Elvis Presley’s Graceland with Priscilla Presley.
In the video’s caption, Priscilla shared the real story behind the design of the Tcb logo and how she was a part of its creation. It all started with a doodle.
She explained, “Elvis and I were on a flight leaving Calif and heading to Memphis [and their Graceland home]. Elvis was looking out the window then turned to me and said, ‘I want...

Like most musicians, The Monkees Mike Nesmith felt the influence of Elvis Presley’s music as a young man. Presley made his mark on the sounds of the 1950s and early 60s and how musicians performed. However, Presley’s influence went way beyond his music for The Monkees guitarist. Nesmith and the king of rock and roll had a legendary history together without meeting.
Elvis Presley and Mike Nesmith shared a musical connection but never met | Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images Elvis Presley became a rock and roll superstar 12 years before The Monkees’ debut
Shortly after graduating from Humes High School in June 1953, Elvis Presley began to explore the idea of a music career. That July, he entered Sun Studios, where he cut a 45-rpm record, “My Happiness” and “That’s When Your Heartaches Begin.”
One year later, in 1954, Presley, Scotty Moore, and Bill Black entered Sun Studios to record “That’s All Right Mama.

We’ve got 10 months until the Oscars, but the stakes are already high. If the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences does not give the new-to-many Austin Butler the Best Actor award next year for his leading role in “Elvis,” Lisa Marie Presley will eat her own foot.
Now, an Instagram post is not exactly legally binding, but The King’s daughter did take it upon herself to publicly kvell about Baz Luhrmann’s stylized take on the life and career of Elvis Presley, readying for its debut at the Cannes Film Festival.
In her first update since February 21 Lisa Marie didn’t just offer a “thumbs up,” she wrote a whole rave review.
She opened by apologizing for being quiet lately, mourning the loss of her son, Benjamin Keough, who died by suicide in July 2020. “Navigating through this hideous grief that absolutely destroyed and shattered my heart and...

John Densmore vividly remembers the words longtime Doors producer Paul A. Rothchild used to describe “Riders on the Storm”: “cocktail music.” “When he heard it, it was in an early rehearsal and it hadn’t evolved into what it became,” the drummer says of the dramatic track, a cowboy ghost story set to haunting rain and thunder. “But it really is one of our most important songs.”
The full story of the track will finally be told in an upcoming, 50th-anniversary box set reissue of L.A. Woman, the...

Select box set reviews from The Associated Press:
Johnny Cash, "The Complete Columbia Album Collection" (Columbia/Legacy)
If you're under 40, you likely see Johnny Cash two ways – as the nearly mythological Sun Records proto-rocker and as the wizened old man staring down God in his American Recordings period in the years before his 2003 death.
Between those two important periods lay decades of songs, personalities and re-inventions many folks aren't familiar with. The massive new box set, "The Complete Columbia Album Collection," will help fill in those gaps for anyone interested in Cash beyond the name-checking cachet he brings to your iPod.
A staggering amount of music is gathered here in 63 discs representing a quarter century of output from an American popular culture icon whose career was far more Technicolor than his Man in Black nickname suggests. And the average music fan yet to turn grey has no idea what that...

As many Criterion fans are surely aware, the cult film Head, starring The Monkees, will soon be released as part of the box set America Lost And Found: The Bbs Story. Preceding this cinematic bonanza by a month, Rhino Handmade will be releasing an expanded 3-cd edition of the film’s soundtrack on October 26, chock-full of previously unreleased goodies and rarities.
While this will certainly appeal more to hardcore Monkees fans than the average Criterion collector, it is worth noting that The Monkees’ music is not without merit, and the Head soundtrack in particular was one of their more adventurous albums.
From the get-go as a pop band manufactured for television in 1966 by Bert Schneider and Bob Rafelson, The Monkees chafed under the control of music coordinator Don Kirshner, who commissioned songs to be written (by professional songwriters such as Neil Diamond, Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart, and Harry Nilsson) and...

Former The Doors' star John Densmore desperately wanted to save his tragic bandmate Jim Morrison before he went too far - but was locked out from his inner circle of friends and enablers. Morrison died in a Paris, France hotel room in 1971 after years of drug and alcohol abuse, and Densmore admits it pained him to watch his friend spiral into a self-destructive hell.
The drummer tried his best to warn Morrison of the fate that awaited him if he didn't change his ways, but, by the time Morrison moved to France, he could no longer reach him. Promoting new Tom Dicillo Doors' documentary "When You're Strange", Densmore says, "No one could get to him. It was like Elvis [Presley]. In fact, Jerry Scheff - the bass player for Elvis, who did 'L.A. Woman' with The Doors - said he was friends with Raquel Welch and she wanted to do...
