Why is Elvis still the king,,, more fans now then ever?

because with out his unique style our music to day could still sound like jim reeves, and hank williams..country music.. In the 1940s, the major strands of American music combined to form what would eventually be coined as rock and roll. Based most strongly off an electric guitar-based version of the Chicago blues, rock also incorporated jazz, pop, country, folk, swing, and other types of music; in particular, bebop jazz and boogie woogie blues were in vogue and greatly influenced the music style. The style had developed by 1949, and quickly became popular among blacks nationwide (see 1949 in music). Mainstream success was slow to develop, though (in spite of early success with Bill Haley & His Comets' "Rock Around the Clock"), and didn't begin in earnest until Elvis Presley ("Hound Dog") began singing rock, R&B and rockabilly songs in a devoted black style. He quickly became the most famous and best-selling artist in American history, and a watershed point in the development of music.

He was known as The King before he died.

The king of what ? sideburns ? ;)

Dont like his music at all ..... dont get the big deal about him, he wore funny costumes, his singing sounded like muttering and he used to shake like he was having muscular spasms while trying to do a dance...

Hes before my time but ive seen a lot of him on tv music videos etc.... overrated, but hey each to their own ....

Dying was a good career move.

I think its because he has been talked about so much, that his music is appreciated more all over the world.

All i know is im not one of his fans

beacuse he is awesome

LOL @ CLAUDE

GOOD QUESTION THOUGH
