Elvis Presley... The King Of Rock N Roll Now And Forever

Elvis Presley... Now unto forever!

That's right folks, decades after the man passed away, Elvis Presley can be said to be one of the greatest musicians of all time, what with still producing albums long after his death, as well getting awards for the work that he did long after he past on!

Why is this guy so great? Well besides  the fact that his music will always be truly amazing music, that has not just adequately done well through out the decades, his music has found new audiences generation after generation, (including myself)... But the truth is, is that the reason why this guy is still considered to be one of the most famous musicians of all time, at least for me is the era in which he represents!

Now I can go in to the whole (It was a simpler time) routine... The truth is, is that Elvis Presley's era was the last gasp of a world that majorly intolerant, was a time in which there was a lot of strife in the country and the rest of the world (it was threatening to tear the world apart...)

The 1960s saw the need for great change, with the tensions in the social fabric of the United States beginning to unravel.

No, what I mean here is that Elvis Presley and his music, represented an era that had stuff like, 'The Rat Pack', 'The Mob' (I mention this, but the truth is, is I don't advocate the mob...) An era that in which our country was tearing itself apart between the traditional conformists, and the more out there, 'rebels'...

And speaking of that, another thing that Elvis and his music represent (in this case, 'the music') was almost representative of that sort of thing!

What I mean by this is the fact that when Elvis was just starting out as a musician, most of the time people were still in to Jazz, (and at this time, even, 'Jazz' had it's under ground quality.) But besides all of that, Rock 'N Roll really was in it's infancy, with Jazz and, 'Big  Band Music' as well as older types of music still being the mainstay for, 'pop music' back then!

Elvis doing his signature dance moves... These moves back when they first came out were considered (scandalous for their supposed racey intentions...)

As a matter of fact, I would say that Elvis and his music destroyed what could be the traditional, 'values' of music back the, and helped  to reconstruct them in such a way that has made it acceptable for bands like, 'AC/DC, Megadeth, Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne' and the like to come to life!

And so I say folks, that with the continued popularity of Elvis Presley and his music, that Elvis from now unto forever, should and currently still is know as, 'The King Of Rock', and hopefully he always will be!
