CD Review: Elvis Presley: 50 Australian Top Ten Hits 1956-1977 : The Sunday Tasmanian

The Mercury newspapers Sunday Edition - The Sunday Tasmanian, has run a CD review of the Elvis Presley: 50 Australian Top Ten Hits 1956-1977 on Sunday February 7, 2010. The review by Jarrad Bevan, titled, 'When Elvis Ruled Our Charts' takes up half a page and is in the eGuide Music section on page 22. The CD is rated 4 stars out of 5. 'Listening to these CDs, it's obvious why he was such a huge success and is still adored. Elvis's sound was a blueprint for what would come later, built on a base of Delta blues and hip-shaking gospel. Elvis changed everything: sex, politics and especially music'. Jarrad Bevan - Read the Review.

Elvis: The King of Rock 'n' Roll Turns 75

Teenagers in the 1950s and '60s turned Elvis Presley into an icon. His shaking hips and curled lips sent rock 'n' roll shockwaves reverberating around the world and challenged prevailing notions about sex, race and class. As we celebrated what would have been his 75th birthday on January 8th, we should take note of the impact he had on the culture. He emerged from his impoverished childhood in Tupelo, Mississippi to become America's pop culture superstar ... His controversial singing style, mixing blues, country (at the time called 'hillbilly'), and black and white gospel music with a sexually charged stage presence, made Presley 'Public Enemy Number One' for those who felt threatened by the tsunami of the changes that were occurring.
