Trivia
The soundtrack was originally to consist of some 80 classic rock songs from the 1950s and 1960s, but the budget couldn't stretch far enough to pay for the rights to play the songs. The total was eventually whittled down to 45, with the Elvis Presley songs left out. It was widely known that Elvis' manager, Col. Tom Parker was extremely demanding when it came to Elvis material prior to 1977. There was a 40th Anniversary Special on NBC in 1976. Parker reportedly demanded $50,000 to release a clip of Elvis on Texaco Star Theatre (1948). The clip was not shown at that time.
