Why was Elvis Presley unique?

Answer 1

Elvis Presley changed music history all together. The music your hearing today wouldntve been around if it wasnt for Elvis. He paved the way for every other rock n roller after him. Through his music, stage presence, style, dances, good looks, charmer, fashion etc he became a historical popular culture icon.

Before Elvis on TV there was all boring, musicals that only appealed to the adults. Well Elvis produced music that would make you dance and for teenagers! He went out on stage, yelled, sung with sex charm and danced and performed like no other. And no other white man did that before Elvis. All of the old people we're outraged but Elvis said to hell with them im gonna do what makes me and my fans happy. And the people began starting to love and respect Elvis which influenced an enormous amount of musicians such as the rolling stone, the beatles, elton john, Michael Jackson, the who, abba, ac/dc you name it after Elvis, they were influenced by him! Which then started more artists to influence.

Elvis Presley pioneered rock n roll, he put rhythm and blues mixed with country in his own deverse style of voice which formed rock n roll and after that formed pop and metal and rap and a whole new breed of musicians and music came about. He started a musical revolution that is seen as very under-rated today. Though his image is over-rated.

Like John Lennon said "Before Elvis, there was nothing.."

So be thankful of Elvis when listening to music, cause without him, it would be a hell of alot different..
