By the time he turned nineteen John was ready for the big time and headed off to Nashville. Once there, his voice and charisma propelled him to the top, allowing him to sign a record deal with Adonda Records, and cutting several albums that hit the top fifty on the charts. Having been adopted at birth, John has always wondered about his biological parents, and is now ready to meet them. After meeting with his birth mother for the first time, she applauds his voice and singing career, saying he may even be better than his father. John’s world is about to be turned upside down, but at the same time shed some light on the reason he is the way he is. Who is that man you ask? The King of Rock and Roll himself... Elvis Presley
