Elvis Presley, Reluctant Rebel by Glen Jeansonne,David Luhrssen,Dan Sokolovic Pdf
This fresh interpretation explains how an untutored musician changed music while at the same time playing an inadvertent role in the youth rebellion that has shaped the Baby Boomer generation into the 21st century. 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.

The Popular Music Teaching Handbook by B. Lee Cooper,Rebecca A. Condon Pdf
The function of print resources as instructional guides and descriptors of popular music pedagogy are addressed in this concise volume. Increasingly, public school teachers and college-level faculty members are introducing and utilizing music-related educational approaches in their classrooms. This book lists reports dealing with popular music resources as classroom teaching materials, and will stimulate further thought among students and teachers. It focuses on the growing spectrum of published scholarship available to instructors in specific teaching fields (art, geography, social studies, urban studies, and so on) as well as on the multitude of general resources (including biographical directories and encyclopedias of artist profiles). Building on two recent publications: Teaching with Popular Music Resources: A Bibliography of Interdisciplinary Instructional Approaches, Popular Music and Society, XXII, no. 2 (Summer 1998), and American Culture Interpreted through Popular Music: Interdisciplinary Teaching Approaches (Bowling Green State University Popular Press, 2000), this volume focuses on the growing spectrum of published scholarship that is available to instructors in specific teaching fields (art, geography, social studies, urban studies, and so on) as well as on the multitude of general resources (including biographical directories and encyclopedias of artist profiles).

Elvis Presley by David Bret Pdf
In this exhaustive volume, best-selling biographer David Bret covers Elvis Presley's every moment captured on celluloid-the 33 feature films, his controversial early appearances on television, his 1968 comeback and other specials, the biopics, retrospectives, and much, much more. Bret lifts the lid on the mysterious and compelling persona of the man revered by millions as 'The King'. While retracing the footsteps of his formative years he analyses not just the plots to these much-criticised and frequently maligned classics of the screen, tailor-made and scripted to fit the leading man-he also recalls the on-set cat fights with co-stars and studio personnel. He reveals the truth about the powerful hold exercised over Elvis by 'Colonel' Tom Parker. This revolved around his manager preventing a leak about the singer's friendship with a disreputable gay fellow actor from going public, and then using this knowledge as a persistent threat to ensure his protégé's loyalty and keep his name out of the gutter press, even though this friendship almost certainly was only platonic. Bret explores and hotly disputes the spiteful and unfounded allegations about his personal life, levelled at Elvis by some members of his step-family after his early death. Above all, the author praises the nature, the charisma and the spellbinding talent of the man who was-and who remains to this day-the supreme lodestar of rock'n'roll and romance, and arguably the finest male entertainer to have ever drawn breath. This sincere, informative tribute is a book that no Elvis fan should be without.

The Long-Player Goodbye by Travis Elborough Pdf
For nearly 60 years, since the arrival of the long-playing record in 1948, the album has provided the soundtrack to our lives. Our record collections, even if they're on CD, or these days, an iPod, are personal treasure, revealing our loves, errors of jugdement and lapses in taste. Self-confessed music obsessive, Travis Elborough, explores the way in which particular albums are deeply embedded in cultural history, revered as works of art or so ubiqitous as to be almost invisible. But in the age of the iPod, when we can download an infinite number of single tracks and need never listen to a whole album ever again, does the concept of an album still mean anything? THE LONG-PLAYER GOODBYE is a brilliant piece of popular history and a celebration of the joy of records. If you've ever had a favourite album, you'll love Travis Elborough's warm and witty take on how vinyl changed our world.
