About The Song
An American Trilogy is a 1972 song medley arranged by country composer Mickey Newbury and popularized by Elvis Presley. It was a highlight of his live shows, particularly the iconic 1973 “Aloha from Hawaii” concert, which was seen by an estimated 1.5 billion people worldwide.
An American Trilogy has been interpreted as exploring themes of division and reconciliation, reflecting on the turbulent history of the United States and its enduring hope for a harmonious and inclusive nation.
