Elvis Aaron Presley was born in a two-room house in Tupelo, MS, on January 8, 1935.
He died at his Memphis home, Graceland, on August 16, 1977. In those 42 years, Elvis
made an indelible impression on pop culture the world over. Elvis Presley, Reluctant
Rebel: His Life and Our Times probes both the man and his influence, delving deeply
into the personality of its protagonist, his needs and motivations, and the social
and musical forces that shaped his career. Elvis's musical talents and liabilities
are explored, as are his records, films, and live performances and his relationship
with his manager, Colonel Tom Parker, whom he allowed to manipulate him as a money-making
machine. Readers will learn about Elvis's personal life, his devotion to conventional
religious and political beliefs, and his decline into self-destruction and death.
Finally, the book explores Elvis's impact on the musical and racial revolutions of
the 1950s and 1960s, his legacy, and his importance in shaping a generation of Baby
Boomers
