Put on your blue suede shoes and get ready for another addition to the Who Was...? series! The King could not have come from humbler origins: Born in Tupelo, Mississippi, during the Depression, he grew up with the blues music of the rural South, the gospel music of local churches, and the country-western classics. But he forged a sound all his own--and a look that was all his own, too. With curled lip, swiveling hips, and greased pompadour, Elvis changed popular music forever, ushering in the age of rock and roll. Geoff Edgers's fascinating biography of this icon of American pop culture includes black and- white illustrations on nearly every spread.

穿上你的蓝色绒面革鞋，准备好迎接另一场比赛…?系列!国王的出身不可能更卑微:他出生在大萧条时期的密西西比州图珀洛，在南方乡村的蓝调音乐、当地教堂的福音音乐和西部乡村经典音乐的陪伴下长大。但他制造了一种完全属于他自己的声音——一种完全属于他自己的表情。卷曲的嘴唇、旋转的臀部和涂了油的卷发蓬头，埃尔维斯永远地改变了流行音乐，开创了摇滚时代。杰夫·埃杰斯关于这个美国流行文化偶像的引人入胜的传记几乎在每一页上都有黑白插图。
