ELVIS - the man, the music, the movie star! Influenced by the pop and country music of the time, Elvis' roots run deep in the gospel music he heard in church, including the all-night gospel sings he frequently attended and the black R&B he absorbed on the historic Beale Street as a Memphis teenager. His talent, good looks, sensuality, charisma, and good humor endeared him to millions, as did the humility and human kindness he demonstrated throughout his life. Known the world over by his first name, he is regarded as one of the most important figures of 20th century popular culture.
