Known the world over by his first name, Elvis is regarded as one of the most important figures of the 20th century. With a revolutionary sound and style, he challenged the social and racial barriers of the time. Elvis ushered in a whole new era of American music and popular culture, bringing the world such classic songs as ``Hound Dog,'' ``Heartbreak Hotel'' and ``All Shook Up.'' Elvis Presley has sold more records than any other artist (more than 1 billion records), starred in 31 features and two concert films and shook the world with his record-breaking television and live appearances. In announcing this special edition, Mark Horak, WHV senior vice president, marketing stated: ```Elvis: That's the Way It Is - Special Edition' will be an exceptional keepsake for those who recognize and remember Elvis' remarkable talent and will serve as a great introduction to those who have yet to experience the power and range of Presley's genius.''
