People who were around in 1977 will always remember what they were doing when they first heard the terrible news that Elvis Presley, King of Rock and Roll, was dead at age 42.  So what caused him to leave the building so darn early? Despite selling millions of records and having millions of fans, privately, Elvis was a tortured man.  

In the months that followed his untimely death, sordid details about his last days would emerge that painted him as drug-addled recluse -- an image his team worked hard to rectify.  On this episode, go beyond the icon: from his controversial relationship with Priscilla Presley to his insane life at Graceland with the "Memphis Mafia."
