Presentazione:
Facendo direttamente seguito a "Elvis 1960: Everybody's Got The Fever", "1961: The King Of The Whole Wide World" esplora l'anno in cui Elvis Presley diede piena forma alla sua potenzialità creativa. Brani fondamentali come "Can't Help Falling in Love", "His Latest Flame" e "Rock-A-Hula Baby" sono tutti qui.
