...Vidor's 1929 "Hallelujah." With baby fat maturing into a soft voluptuousness, she radiates an uncut sexuality rarely seen in black or white actresses then, or for decades thereafter. Her volcanic rendition of Irving Berlin's "Swanee Shuffle" (using exactly the leg and hip moves that would make Elvis Presley a star) quickly lures Zekiel, a naive sharecropper, into her arms and, just as quickly, into a loaded dice game run by her no-good lover.

For ages, the genre was both popular and officially revered: nine times in the first 40 years of Academy Awards, and five times between...

The host of commemorative items include no-brainers like a greatest-hits CD (RCA) and a four-CD box set (BMG Heritage) of more than 100 unreleased songs. There's also the obligatory coffee-table book and guide to the King's queens and consorts. Kids born in the post-Elvis years will get a chance to become fans...
