Elvis fans can check out some rare photos in a new article featured on TIME.com. Photographer Alfred Wertheimer recently reminisced on the days and nights he spent with Elvis and talks about his new book "Elvis and the Birth of Rock and Roll."
"The photographs Wertheimer took of the early Elvis remain some of the most remarkable and intimate photographs ever made of any major celebrity, in any era."
The new book features several never-before-seen photos of Elvis on the cusp of unfathomable fame, including color photos of Elvis during his first television performances and some of his historic New York recording sessions which include hits such as "Don't Be Cruel" and "Hound Dog."
"No photographer would ever get this close to Elvis again. But because Presley was, at the time, as innocent and carefree as Wertheimer, these photographs afford us a breathtaking, undimmed portrait of the man who would be king."
