Elvis Presley

Yesterday in History of Rock and Roll we learned about Elvis Presley. Prior to class, I really didn’t know much about Elvis, I knew that Elvis was one the greatest musicians ever, he died on the toilet, and I had heard some of his songs and thought that his music was okay, but overrated. I learned that Elvis’ type of music was very new to the people of his time and that they didn’t know what to think of his singing and hip thrusting, no one had ever experienced the way he preformed. I liked some of his songs we heard in class and I still think he is overrated but I understand why so many people admired his music.
