Elvis Presley was the first real rock and roll star.
A white southerner who singing blues laced with
country and country tinged with gospel,
Presley brought together music from both sides of
the color line. Presley performed this music with a
natural hip swiveling sexuality that made him a teen
idol and a role model for generations of cool
rebels.Presley was repeatedly dismissed as vulgar,
incompetent and a bad influence. However the force
of his music and image signaled to the mainstream
culture it was time for a change.
