 Production began in June
2005 when the filmmakers documented the recording
of Jackson's new CD release I Remember Elvis,
on Golden Lane Records, a subsidiary of Cleopatra
Records.
The many performers Jackson toured with, highlighted in archival footage, include:
Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis. Jackson's early music has recently
been immortalized on screen in the Golden Globe winning Johnny Cash movie biopic
WALK THE LINE which featured her song, 'Fujiyama Mama." Presley, whom Jackson
dated, was influential in Jackson's choice to move from country music to the
male-dominated world of rockabilly.
Another Elvis, Elvis Costello, will also be featured in the documentary, as an
outspoken advocate of inducting Jackson into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Costello recently penned a letter to the nominating committee urging it to induct
Jackson, who, in his words, 'was standing up on a stage with a guitar in her
hands and making a sound that was wild and raw as any rocker, man or woman."
