Jailhouse Rock Opens
The King’s first hit movie with MGM Studios, Jailhouse Rock featured Elvis at his absolute best – singing and dancing as only he could! The exciting production number (featuring the song of the same name) is considered the granddaddy of modern music videos. The hit single, “Jailhouse Rock,” was the first song in music history to enter the United Kingdom’s music charts at #1.
Elvis filmed Jailhouse Rock as his amazing career skyrocketed. He had 21 Top 40 hits – 9 of them reaching #1 – in less than two years. Less than one year after his first national television debut, Billboard magazine announced that Elvis had the most songs in its Top 100 singles chart since the program began!
In the film, Elvis played Vince Everett, who was sent to prison after being convicted of manslaughter following a bar brawl. Prison cellmate Hunk Houghton, a former country singer, teaches Vince how to play guitar. Vince catches on fast, and ends up performing at a televised prison show. Unaware that a fan base has developed outside prison walls, Vince signs a contract with Hunk to a 50-50 split of any money he makes performing.
Released from prison, Vince is shocked to learn that he has a following. After a series of failed attempts to sing in Hunk’s music style, Vince adopts his own singing style and becomes famous.
Released from prison, Hunk approaches Vince for his share of the wealth. When tempers ignite, Hunk strikes the star in the throat and damages his vocal cords. Ironically, Elvis swallowed a tooth cap during the filming and was also in danger of damaging his voice.
Happily, both Vince and Elvis survived to see Jailhouse Rock thrill audiences. The American Film Institute named the film to its “100 Years, 100 Films” list of outstanding movies. The “Jailhouse Rock” production number is one of the most memorable film scenes in movie history, and blazed the way for today’s music videos. In fact, it’s such a cultural icon that it’s included in the National Film Registry of Treasures of Cinema in the U.S. Library of Congress!
