Book Synopsis Elvis Presley: A Biography by : Lily McNeil

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK “If he did things like that in the street, we’d lock him up.” —Oakland, CA Officer 230, assigned to security at Elvis Presley’s June 3, 1956 show at the Oakland Auditorium, in reference to Elvis' dance style You may know him by his epithets: The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, or maybe just The King. Memphis Flash. The Hillbilly Cat. Elvis the Pelvis. Sir Swivel, perhaps. Elvis Presley was a teen girl’s heartthrob, a studio’s golden goose, a movie star, a sexual icon, a rock legend. He battled both internal demons and management fiascos. He loved music, and both loved and loathed the fame it brought him. He influenced singers and bands as diverse as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, Buddy Holly, Tom Jones, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Diamond, Pat Benatar, Queen, The Clash, Billy Idol, and Elton John. He found his sound in African-American gospel music and blended it with country and blues to produce a newfangled thing called “rock ‘n’ roll.” He started out with nothing and ended his life as a wealthy and generous man. He never performed a concert outside of North America (he played five shows in Canada in 1957), and yet his records went gold and platinum in countries such as Belgium, Sweden, Germany, France, Yugoslavia, South Africa, Japan, England, Australia, and Norway. He is known throughout the world by his first name. He has spurred fan clubs, blogs, impersonators, and tribute acts galore. Sometimes he’s spotted leaving the building, decades after his death. Graceland, his beloved Memphis mansion, is a mecca for fans worldwide. His records and outlandish costumes are on display, as well as his more personal mementos from an incredible life. Although his image has often descended into camp, Elvis was first and foremost an artist who was deeply engaged with the history and future of music and with blurring the racial divides in mid-century America. His 1950s material showcases the “musical idiot savant” with the “golden voice” and sensitive readings of popular ballads, while his 1960s and 1970s songs often belie Elvis' confident, stylized exterior. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll came from humble beginnings. Elvis Aaron (later Aron) and his twin brother, Jesse Garon, were born in Tupelo, Mississippi on January 8th, 1935, to Gladys Love and Vernon Elvis Presley. Jesse was stillborn, and as the Presleys did not have any other children, Elvis grew up as an only child. Gladys was 22 years old and Vernon only 18 when they had the future King. During morning prayers one day at East Tupelo Consolidated, ten-year-old Elvis sang the song “Old Shep” by Red Foley. One of his teachers, dazzled by the performance, encouraged him to enter a singing contest at the 1945 Mississippi-Alabama Fair and Dairy Show. Elvis placed fifth. After graduating high school in 1953, Elvis decided to cut his first record. He paid Sun Records to make a two-song disc, ostensibly as a present for his mother. While this motivation is indeed likely, Elvis seems to have had other, grander ideas: he wanted to be discovered. The receptionist at Sun Records, Marion Keisker, noted his talents, writing, “Good ballad singer. Hold” under his name. Sam Phillips, the boss over at Sun Records, invited Elvis back to the studio to record as many songs as he knew. None of them were quite right, and the day looked to be a failure. After they had all called it quits, Elvis began horsing around with his guitar, belting out Arthur Crudup’s 1946 “That’s All Right.” The rest of the band joined in. This was exactly the “white man [with] the Negro sound and the Negro feel” that Phillips was looking for. When the song hit the radio three days later, listeners called in to ask who the singer was... ...buy the book to read more!

Download or read book Elvis Presley written by Hourly History and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elvis Presley Elvis Presley was much more than a cultural icon; he was a reliable barometer of the world he grew up in. Long before the cultural revolutions of the '60s and '70s, Elvis was sparking a dynastic change of hands in American society. And by his own admission, much of it was by accident. Whenever his performances caused a stir, Elvis was always the first to ask what all the fuss was about. When questioned if he was trying to provoke a response from his audience, Elvis innocently replied that he was just doing what came naturally. Inside you will read about... - Elvis and His Twin - That's All Right - Presley's Controversial Rise - Elvis Joins the Army - Comeback in Las Vegas - Last Years and Death And much more! According to Elvis, as much as James Dean was a "rebel without a cause," he was a rebel completely by accident. If we believe him, everything he did that led to his rise to stardom was just some sort of cosmic alignment of happenstance. Elvis claimed that when he went into Sun Records to record his first song, he wasn't looking to become famous; he maintained that he just wanted to record a song for his mom's birthday. This book will let you decide for yourself as you learn about the life, the legend, and the unmistakable icon-Elvis Presley.

Download or read book The Pelvis written by Enrico Marani and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-02-13 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a critical review of the pelvic sciences—past, present and future—from an anatomical and physiological perspective and is intended for researchers, medical practitioners and paramedical therapists in the fields of urology, gynecology and obstetrics, proctology, physiotherapy, as well as for patients. The book starts with a “construction plan” of the pelvis and shows its structural consequences. The historical background of pelvic studies proceeds from medieval and early Italian models to the definitive understanding of the pelvic anatomy in the Seventeenth century. During these eras of pelvic research, concepts and approaches developed that are illustrated with examples from comparative anatomy and from mutations, also with regard to the biomechanics of pelvic structures. Perceptions of the pelvis as an important element in sexual arousal and mating conduct are discussed, as well as attitudes to circumcision, castration and other mutilations, in its anthropological, social context. The anatomy and physiology of the pelvic wall and its organs as well as the development of these pelvic organs are covered as a prerequisite to understanding, for example, the spread of pelvic carcinoma and male and female bladder muscle function. Connective pelvic tissue is examined in its reinforcing capacity for pelvic structures, but also as a “hiding place” for infections. Innervations and reflexes relayed through the pelvic nerves are discussed in order to explain incontinence, sphincter function and the control of smooth and striated muscles in the pelvis. Catheters and drugs acting on pelvic function are described, and a critical review of alternative clinical methods for treating pelvic dysfunctions is provided.
Download or read book Scotty and Elvis written by Scotty Moore and published by University Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2013-05-24 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Elvis Presley first showed up at Sam Phillips's Memphis-based Sun Records studio, he was a shy teenager in search of a sound. Phillips invited a local guitarist named Scotty Moore to stand in. Scotty listened carefully to the young singer and immediately realized that Elvis had something special. Along with bass player Bill Black, the triorecorded an old blues number called "That's All Right, Mama." It turned out to be Elvis's first single and the defining record of his early style, with a trillingguitar hook that swirled country and blues together and minted a sound with unforgettable appeal. Its success launched a whirlwind of touring, radio appearances, and Elvis's first break into movies. Scotty was there every step of the way as both guitarist and manager, until Elvis's new manager, Colonel Tom Parker, pushed him out. Scotty and Elvis would not perform together again until the classic 1968 "comeback" television special. Scotty never saw Elvis after that. With both Bill Black and Elvis gone, Scotty Moore is the only one left to tell the story of how Elvis and Scotty transformed popular music and how Scotty created the sound that became a prototype for so many rock guitarists to follow. Thoroughly updated, this edition delivers guitarist Scotty Moore's story as never before
