Hello ladies and gents welcome to the first of a new series that we have been asked to do where we will go back at least 50 years and choose a singer that was popular way back when let me set the scene.
We are in the Year of 1956 the day January 28, we are sitting in a middle class home and we have just pushed the youngest kid of the sofa to get him to change the channel to the Stage Show (Stage Show was a popular music variety series broadcast in the United States on the CBS Television Network and originally hosted on alternate weeks by big band leaders and brothers Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey. Produced by Jackie Gleason) and we see a guy from Missippi starts singing what you didnt know he will be the KING yes K.I.N.G of rock and roll.
Elvis Aaron Presley(January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American singer and actor. Regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, he is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll" or simply "the King".
Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family when he was 13 years old. His music career began there in 1954, recording at Sun Records with producer Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African American music to a wider audience. Accompanied by guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, Presley was a pioneer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country music and rhythm and blues.
What made him so popular is how world changing atmosphere that him and rock and roll really changed the world in my opinion. On a personal note i love this icons music and it always make me smile and the jokes when everyone tries to immitate the famous lip thing he did. It also proves how the famous life changes you.
And that ladies and gents is how a legend was made that is the King lets talk about his top 10 songs according to well the Web.
