Elvis Presley’s electrifying performance in “Jailhouse Rock” remains a cornerstone of rock and roll history. Iron Studios captures the King’s energy in their “Elvis Presley Jailhouse Rock – Art Scale 1/10 – Elvis Presley” statue, replicating his iconic dance from the 1957 film. This scene, choreographed by Elvis himself, is considered a pioneering music video and showcases the rebellious spirit of early rock and roll.
“Jailhouse Rock,” both a hit song by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller and Elvis’s third film, cemented his status as a cultural icon. The film follows Vince Everett (Elvis), imprisoned for manslaughter, who learns guitar from a fellow inmate and rises to fame upon release. The film’s climactic performance of “Jailhouse Rock,” recreated in the Iron Studios statue, features Elvis in a stylized prison set on a TV studio soundstage. This iconic scene earned the film a place in the United States National Film Registry at the Library of Congress.
The song itself ranks among Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. It stands as a testament to Elvis’s enduring impact on music history. “Jailhouse Rock” exemplifies Elvis’s raw talent and charisma, showcasing his dynamic stage presence and signature moves.
This is Iron Studios’ second Elvis Presley statue, a tribute to the enduring legacy of the King of Rock and Roll. The “Elvis Presley Jailhouse Rock” statue is available for pre-order, joining the “Elvis Presley Comeback Deluxe – Art Scale 1/10” in Iron Studios’ collection. Fans can anticipate more statues commemorating Elvis’s legendary career.
