Created On: Thursday, 10 April 2008 Hits: 53  Elvis Presley The images were taken in 1972 by George Kalinsky, the official photographer of the famed arena, the singer's estate said Wednesday. Kalinsky came across the photos while working on a campaign for a billboard company called "Great Moments in New York." Now one of them is on display as part of the campaign on a three-story billboard atop the Virgin Megastore in Times Square; it shows The King glancing up, his outstretched arms holding the cape of his glittering jumpsuit. The estate asked if he had any more photos, and Kalinsky came back with about 40 unpublished images from Elvis' second-night performance at the Madison Square Garden in 1972, said Kevin Kern, spokesman for Elvis Presley Enterprises. Kern said a team of archivists well-acquainted with publicized images of Presley were quite impressed with Kalinsky's photos. The collection will be displayed at Graceland starting Memorial Day weekend as part of "Elvis Jumpsuits: All Access," an exhibit that will also feature more than 50 of Elvis' famous jumpsuits. Kalinsky said he didn't realize at the time that he had so many good shots. Back in '72, he went backstage to meet Presley. Share this article to:        |
