Elvis Presley is rightly called the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. He is credited with 54 certified gold singles – more than any other recording artist ever! This coin highlights one of those songs that sold at least 500,000 copies.
Mystic has permanently bonded a vibrant image of Elvis to this uncirculated US Half Dollar. The coin features an original photograph of Presley from his estate’s official archives and is officially licensed by Elvis Presley Enterprises.
Follow That Dream
“Follow That Dream” was recorded for the movie of the same name. Elvis cut the track on July 5, 1961. Released with “When My Blue Moon Turns to Gold Again” on the flip side, the single reached number 15 on the Billboard charts.
Some fans consider the film Follow That Dream Elvis’ best. He showed his acting ability, as well as his singing talent. In this 1962 musical comedy, he plays Toby Kwimper, who is traveling through Florida with his father, “Pop,” and some adopted children. Pop makes a wrong turn onto an unfinished highway and their old car runs out of gas. The oldest orphan, nineteen-year-old Holly Jones, persuades the family to settle where they are and open a business that rents fishing equipment.
Alicia Claypoole, a social worker, visits the family to make sure the children are being taken care of. She becomes instantly attracted to Elvis’ character Toby, but he doesn’t return her affections. Claypoole takes revenge by trying to have the children removed from the family. Toby and Pop plead their case to the judge, who allows them to keep their family together.
Elvis plays a different type of character than in many of his other films. Toby is not aggressive and smooth talking, but is a calm, innocent country boy. When the film was released, Variety magazine said, “Presley conveys the right blend of horse sense and naiveté in his characterization.”
Though Follow That Dream highlighted Elvis as an actor, he also sang five songs during the film. A few lines of “On Top of Old Smokey” were taped on the movie set. The other songs were recorded in Nashville, Tennessee.
