Almost 30 years after his death, Elvis Presley remains one of the
most influential performers and recognized pop culture icons the
world over. His then-unprecedented musical style-a fusion of blues,
country, pop, bluegrass, and gospel-ushered in the age of rock n'
roll and paved the way for generations of musicians and singers to
follow. This biography will offer a seldom seen glimpse into the
life of Elvis, tracing his family life, musical career, films, and
legacy. The volume closes with a timeline and bibliography. Not
only did Elvis usher in a new genre of music, he also came to
represent the growing dissatisfaction young people had with the
mores and conventions of the restrictive 1950s. At a time when the
top pop stars were Pat Boone and Andy Williams, Elvis' blatant
sensuality on stage and his smoldering presence off it made him the
anti-establishment poster boy. This biography offers a seldom seen
glimpse into the life and career of Elvis, tracing his family life,
musical career, films, and legacy. Today, the King lives on in
popular culture-on Top 20 lists, in film and television, on the
radio, in cyberspace, and yes, even in the countless performances
by Elvis impersonators throughout the world.
