About this ebook
There will never be another performer quite like Elvis Presley with his long sideburns, slick hair, dapper clothes and eccentric live shows. This wonderful tribute in words and pictures looks back at the life of the most successful recording artist of all time, bringing the sight and sounds of his incredible story to vivid life.
Relive his early years, when he burst upon the music scene as a rebellious youngster, shocking parents but driving their children wild with excitement – he was a true master. Chart his meteoric rise as part of the new youth culture that was sweeping 1950s America to his spell in the Army and his successes of the 1960s.
Take a front seat for Elvis’s movie career and his Las Vegas heyday and mourn The King’s end on that sad and unforgettable day in 1977.
Presley is unquestionably one of the most talked about musicians of the last Century – he helped popularise “rock’n’roll” and set a template for many artists to follow.
