Elvis Purse

Elvis Purse?

Do you love Elvis Presley?
Elvis Presley was the first great swindle of rock'n'roll, and the prototype for the ones that would follow.
But what is more important about Elvis Presley is not his vocal range, nor how high or low it extends, but where its center of gravity is.

Elvis is the greatest cultural force in the twentieth century. He introduced the beat to everything, music, language, clothes, it's a whole new social revolution.

His music and his personality, fusing the styles of white country and black rhythm and blues, permanently changed the face of American popular culture.
It's rare when an artist's talent can touch an entire generation of people. It's even rarer when that same influence affects several generations.

His voice, which developed into many voices as his career progressed, had always a unique tonality and an extraordinarily unusual center of gravity, leading to his ability to tackle a range of songs and melodies which would be nearly impossible for most other popular singers to achieve.

His popularity has transcended race, class, national boundaries, and culture. There is no simple answer about why that is so, he had that magic.
Bob Dylan, one of pop's favorite poets, put it best: Elvis, he said, was "the incendiary atomic musical firebrand loner who conquered the western world."
