Rock N Roll






Elvis Presley

Elvis Presley 1956


This self titled album was the King’s first recorded album. This first album launched Elvis’s career and stardom. Today people still considered Elvis Presley as the King of Rock N Roll, which is fitting considering the sex spell he cast upon the females of the 1950’s according to many churches of the day. His music makes you want to shake and sway your hips. In Tutti Frutti, Elvis’s spell is cast on me and I shake my hips like Elvis did on Ed Sullivan.  Even the songs that have a slow melody, like I Love You Because, put you in a daydream of Rock N Roll romance and calms your hips down to a sway. In I’m Gonna Sit Right Down and Cry, Elvis brings out his country roots and twang. I think it is fitting since the song is about losing a woman. Ultimately, in my opinion, Elvis is timeless and this album is no exception. As soon as I started playing this album, my roommates came out of their holes and began to discuss the how much they loved Elvis and how Hott (yes, capitalized with two t’s) he was. Almost sixty years after this Elvis released this album, masses of young women still idolize him.
