Elvis Is Black! stelt opnames samen waarmee Elvis Presley put uit de rhythm-and-blues en rock-'n-roll van zwarte artiesten — de wortels van zijn eigen geluid. De samenstelling loopt van vroege rock-'n-rollopnames als 'That's All Right', 'Good Rockin' Tonight' en 'Mystery Train' tot masters en alternatieve takes uit de late jaren vijftig en vroege jaren zestig. Veel nummers staan hier in een studioversie met take-aanduiding.
