Memory Game for Seniors - Elvis

Relive the Shock of Elvis Presley Enlisting in 1958

Starting at $5.99 – $24.99

Let RetroSparX spark your memory with The King Enlists! When Elvis Presley enlisted for the U.S Army in 1958, his fans braced themselves for a break from his particularly provocative style of entertaining, and prayed for his safe return. Read about this iconic American singer/actor, and the singular path he carved for himself to fame, fortune and, ultimately, self-destruction. His life story is in equal measure an inspiration and a cautionary tale.
