I believe Black music is at the roots of a lot of what we have now, but the segregation in the early days of rock and roll was an awful thing.
Absolutely shameful. A lot of it was fought through pop culture too. Frank Sinatra was another person who worked and played with a lot of black musicians.
I'm sure Elvis was exploited by others, but he may not have been as big otherwise.
He was definitely a shooting star. The world was ready for rock n roll. So much of our modern music has morphed and evolved from early blues and rock n roll.
I see there are conspiracy theories about Taylor Swift now. Don't believe all you see online!

There is a new movie about Priscilla too. That may give a different angle on things.
I'll have to check that out. I'm sure she had a really interesting perspective too.
I can remember when he died as it was big news. I am sure there was a comic strip telling his story in the newspaper.
Me too. My mother still has the newspaper, front page news when he passed. It was a really big deal in our house.
Sorry for the late reply. Took the weekend off from the internet and just seen this! Hope you had a great weekend. Cheers!

It doesn't look like the Elvis movie is on Netflix here yet, but I'll look out for it.
