 Elvis Presley - Interviews with Elvis Presley
Audio and video interviews with Elvis Presley 1950s -1970s.
'Before Elvis', Beatles vocalist and rhythm guitarist John Lennon once said, 'there was nothing'. Lennon exaggerated -- but not by much. By the late 1950s, Elvis Aaron Presley had emerged as 'The King' -- Hollywood star, top-selling recording artist and cultural icon. His first and perhaps most lasting achievement, though, was introducing the rhythm-and-blues music pioneered by African Americans to a white audience. Elvis fused what then often was known as 'black music' with the 'country' sound prevalent in the South. The result was called 'rockabilly', but subsequent generations -- John Lennon included -- heard the beginning of rock 'n' roll |
