OK, since Priscilla was the exec producer they downplayed the drug use, but this was a fascinating look at just how amazingly talented and connected to the music this amazing performer truly was.
I dare anyone to listen to those old soundtracks, some of that gospel music, and tell me he didnt have the voice of an angel.

Even some of those recordings surprised me as to his voice. Also, when he is singing next to The Chairman of the Board, Ole Blue Eyes, HIS talent smacks you in the face because as beautiful as Elvis' voice is, Frank's is HARD and "in the pocket" like no other.
