Inspired by Elvis' famous image in the film Jail House Rock, this mixed media canvas depicts Elvis as Vince Everett, a convict who learns the guitar while in prison and becomes a star following his release. The song itself then went onto Presley's biggest hit singles, spending seven weeks at number one on the U.S. charts. However, shortly after  the release of the film, the leading lady Judy Tyler died in a tragic road accident. Presley reportedly was so devastated by Tyler's death that he never watched the film or discussed it. This artwork therefore shows a more sombre face of Presley (as opposed to the original image) with his expression changed to reflect his sadness.
