- 永远的艾尔维斯:从摇滚传奇到不朽偶像
Two years National Service in West Germany interrupted his recording career, but did nothing to dim his popularity. His combination of white country and western music with black rhythm and blues gave the 50s teenage generation music they could identify with. But his overtly sexual style made him a target for moralists and racists objected to his heavy borrowing from black music.
His marriage in 1967 to a percent of Uly, daughter of an army colonel, ended in divorce six years later. Like so many 20th century idols, Presley was becoming a victim of the same hit attracted. It began to take over his life. Under pressure from his domineering manager, Colonel Tom Parker, Presley embarked on a series of comparative media films. He was straying a long way now from the kind of music he had mastered in his days in the South when he sang gospel in the Tupelo Church choir and played guitar in front of a live audience.
By the 70s, Presley was reduced to singing tearful ballads in nightclubs in Las Vegas. But the grandiose state acts were no substitute for the lack of creative talents. Presley died in 1977 at his home in Memphis, which had been the center of his musical world for most of his short life. He had been destroyed by drink, drugs, fast food and fast living. His funeral at Gracelands was a huge media event.
To this day, Presley's home is a shrine to his memory, a measure of the impact he had on his contemporaries. It's reccom that since he first took the world by storm in 1956, his earnings from records, films and merchandising had grossed more than a billion dollars. And his legend lives on. Each year thousands of sightseers visit the Presley Museum in Tennessee to get a closer feel of what it was like to be the undisputed idol of so many people for so many years. 上面就是七彩网帮您整理的关于第四期 第34集 永远的艾尔维斯的内容,希望对您有一些帮助!
