Elvis Presley

European release for Record Store Day 2023. This digipak double CD contains no fewer than Sixty titles. This set is a unique compilation that has never been produced before. It is exceptional as a tribute to all the fabulous songwriters who contributed to make the records of Elvis an incomparable body of work that is not only flamboyant, but eternal.

Elvis Presley belongs on the short list of artists who changed the course of popular music in the 20th century. He may not have invented rock & roll, but he was indisputably its first rock star, a singer whose charisma was tightly intertwined with his natural talent for a combination that seemed combustible, sexy, and dangerous when Presley seized the imagination of America with four successive number one singles in 1956. Presley spent the next two decades near the top of the charts, weathering changes in fashion, self-inflicted career missteps, and comebacks as his music expanded and evolved.

Elvis Presley Presents Las Vegas International Presents Elvis - January Thru February 1970 album 37 original hits and the original artists genre Rock'n'Roll.

Since The King of Rock 'n' Roll was the complete '50s masters, it was easy to assume that its five-disc '60s sequel, From Nashville to Memphis: The Essential 60's Masters, rounded up all the masters from that decade, which is simply not the case. The producers deliberately avoided the soundtracks to Elvis' movies, which perhaps makes sense, given that they are roundly and rightly disparaged as Presley's low point, which then opened the doors to presenting just what they judged as the best non-soundtrack recordings he made during the '60s.

La tirade est connue mais résume bien la situation : l’Amérique a eu plus de quarante présidents, mais un seul roi ! Né le 8 janvier 1935 à Tupelo dans le Mississippi, Elvis Aaron Presley ne passa que 42 années sur terre mais son influence sur la musique, sur la culture et sur la nation américaine ne se mesure pas vraiment. Une aura qui dépassera la personnification même de l’idiome rock. Voix, musique, gestuelle provocatrice et look : tout est là pour polir chaque recoin de l'icône Presley, d’abord idole des adolescents en quête de rébellion et qui deviendra une idole tout simplement mondialement populaire. Le King est le premier à associer rock’n’roll et attitude. A Memphis, dans les studios Sun du grand producteur Sam Philips naitra cet alliage musical inédit de rhythm’n’blues, de country, de hillbilly, de gospel, de blues, de bluegrass et d’énergie sauvage.
