Elvis Presley, born in very humble circumstances in 1935, grew up in Memphis surrounded by black R&B as well as country and gospel music. He burst onto the American music scene in 1956 with a sound unlike any other well-known singer of the time, and a sensual performing style that brought him many female fans, but also wide criticism in the press.
This richly illustrated book, supported by an informative text, tells the story of the King of rock and roll who lives on forever in the hearts of his fans around the globe.
