Rashan died a year and a half ago of AIDS, about the same time Doris was diagnosed as having the disease and two months after the boy's father succumbed to the illness, known in the ghetto as "the AIDS." She squeezes her brimming eyes shut. "I will feel the guilt the rest of my life," she says. A month ago Doris' five-year-old daughter Jamille received the deadly diagnosis.

Gregg Geller, the archivist who supervised these four releases, has gathered the songs from those twelve days of studio work into a double album that is a bedrock classic. Elvis never again sang this consistently or this passionately. There are blues and country here, gospel and rock and pop, all sung...
