All Shook Up: The Life & Death Of Elvis Presley

About this book

Born on January 8 1935 in Tupelo Mississippi Elvis Aaron Presley was destined to rewrite the history of music almost from the moment he picked up a guitar. He played music that was rooted in blues gospel country and rockabilly and he redefined a generation by breaking down the boundaries that separate white from black.Everyone listened to Elvis. Everyone danced to Elvis. Everyone had an opinion about Elvis. And the fame was nice but it came so fast. The money. The cars. The screaming fans. Somewhere in all that the singer from Tupelo got lost-and thats the saddest song of all.
