Winslow Homer: Society and Solitude: A look into the life and work of one of the greatest American artists of his time (1836-1910). Two one-hour programs chronicle Winslow Homer's evolution from wood-engraver to Harper's Weekly illustrator to an innovative watercolorist best known for his evocative oil paintings. Noted artists and scholars describe a man who lived in the midst of a lively and cosmopolitan New York City art scene, but gradually withdrew from public life, earning him the reputation as the great recluse of American art.

ELVIS LIVES: The 25th Anniversary Concert: Through the magic of modern technology, Elvis Presley is reunited with his original TCB band and back-up singers 25 years after his death, for a unique special, featuring Elvis from selected concerts including the Aloha From Hawaii satellite special. This one-of-a-kind event has stirred audiences around the world and ignited a passion for the King in a whole new generation of music lovers.

ELVIS LIVES uses the technique where a recorded past performance is integrated in real time with supporting musicians and singers live on stage. This technique has been used before, but only one song was performed and not before a live audience. Therefore, it is truly a marvel that an entire live concert was performed in this manner.

The Elvis Lives concert was staged in August of 2003 at The Pyramid in Memphis, TN in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of Elvis’s death.

Elvis

He Touched Me: The Gospel Music of Elvis Presley
Long before Elvis was heralded as the king of rock 'n' roll, he was a faithful fan of gospel music. Although it was instrumental in shaping his spiritual life as well as his career, no documentary has truly chronicled this facet of his life — until now. He Touched Me: The Gospel Music of Elvis Presley features more than thirty of Elvis's gospel recordings and never-before-seen footage. Filled with personal stories by those who knew him well, this program goes behind the scenes of Elvis's career.
