Barbie Loves Elvis Collector Edition Gift Set Dolls 1996 Mattel 17450

Barbie is so excited! It's 1957 and Elvis Presley is giving a concert in Tupelo, his own hometown. Maybe she can get his autograph! She's wearing her special sweater and circle skirt so he'll notice her. Is she surprised when Elvis does notice her and asks her to join him on stage! He sings to her, and the crowd goes wild!

As Elvis' adoring fan, Barbie knows everything about him. Only a few years ago, he started his singing calmer with Sun Records, and by 1956, was an international sensation. In 36 alone, he had five number one singles and two number one alums on the pop charts! And Barbie got them all! "Heartbreak Hotel" was his first gold record, and "Elvis Presley", his first gold album. That same year, he started a movie career, and Barbie saw his first movie, "Love Me Tender", three times. Elvis seemed to be everywhere on network TV too. What a year!

Most people think Elvis' career started in the '50s, but real Elvis fans remember a time in Tupelo in 1945 when a little guy with the sweetest voice sang "Old Shep" at the Mississippi-Alabama Fair and Dairy Show. Elvis was only ten and had to stand on a chair, but he took second place, winning $5 and free admission to all the rides.

Elvis unique blending of the diverse music that influenced him started a whole new era in music and pop culture. Nothing would ever be the same.
