All Shook Up

The Life and Death of Elvis Presley

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Elvis had parents grumbling, girls screaming and fainting, and boys imitating his style. And his music? It had everyone dancing in the aisles. But what's the real story behind "the King"?Born on January 8, 1935, in Tupelo, Mississippi, Elvis Aaron Presley was destined to rewrite the history of music almost from the moment he picked up a guitar. He played music that was rooted in blues, gospel, country and rockabilly, and he redefined a generation by breaking down the boundaries that separate white from black.Everyone listened to Elvis. Everyone danced to Elvis. Everyone had an opinion about Elvis. And the fame was nice, but it came so fast. The money. The cars. The screaming fans. Somewhere in all that, the singer from Tupelo got lost-and that's the saddest song of all.
