TCBCast 201: Elvis 101 Part 2: Biopics, Docs and Elvis's Movies feat. Bec Wyles

Episode 201 continues the discussion on Gurdip, Justin and Bec's hand-picked Elvis fan "starter kits," focusing in on documentaries, biopics and movies starring Elvis from during his career recommended for newer fans. Then, for Song of the Week, histories behind three well-loved Elvis songs are covered, from different eras of Elvis's career: Bec starts us off in the 1970s with Elvis's live cover of the BJ Thomas classic "I Just Can't Help Believin'," Justin spotlights Elvis's 1965 gospel hit "Crying in the Chapel" and we hear the true story of what happened when Elvis was confronted by Carol Fran, the soul singer whose version of "Chapel" was eclipsed by his hit. Gurdip closes us out by going all the way back to the beginning and showcasing "Harbour Lights" from Elvis's first recorded session at Sun Studio in 1954.
