A Man & His Music examines Elvis' amazing relationship to music. From his childhood influences to his early rockabilly sound, to The King of Rock 'n' Roll. You'll hear from the Jordanaires, Mac Davis, Tony Orlando, Barry Gibb, Ray Manzarek, Jackie DeShannon, Patti Page, Kenny Rogers, Glen Campbell, Bill Medley, & Connie Stevens about the genesis of the Presley sound. You'll take look at the historic jam session between The King & The Fab Four when they paid Elvis a visit in 1965. The Spiritual Soul of Elvis covers Elvis' love for gospel music. You'll hear from Larry Geller, Elvis' spiritual adviser, & Joe Espisito, his confidant about Elvis' battle to make sense out of a life that would be scrutinized by many. You'll hear from those closest to Elvis about his search for spiritual fulfillment that started when he was a boy until hisdeath at the age of 42. Elvis is gone, but his soul is still alive.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
