How Did Elvis Presley's Impact On Society

Elvis Presley: Elvis Presley (1956)

After doing a little research on Presley, I realized that without him and his first album “Elvis Presley” we would not have many of the great artists that we have today which include artists like the Beatles. Elvis Presley’s was known as “The King of Rock N Roll” for a very good reason. His first album spent ten weeks at number one. It was also the first Rock and Roll album to ever make it to the top charts. There is no doubt that this album as well as Elvis himself has contributed to the history of modern popular music in the United States.

Little Richard: Here Little Richard (1957)

Little Richard was really the first wild man in Rock and Roll history. He wore heavy makeup, dressed in crazy outfits and

Holly was the first rock ‘n’ roll star to write and arrange his own music. He was also one of the first people to begin to understand how to edit songs, add effects, and overdub them as well. When you look back at everything Buddy Holly did during his short life as a Rock ‘n’ Roll singer, you will see that he influences so many of our greatest singers we have ever had, and without him they might not have ever decided to make

However, after this album was created it changed the way people looked at pop music. Along with the fact that this album changed pop music, it also spent 15 weeks at number one in the United States, and won four Grammys, including album of the year. I truly believe that without this album and without the Beatles pop and rock music would absolutely not be where it is today.

Rolling Stones: Exile On Main Street (1972)

The one thing that stood out to me when listening to this album is that it contains multiple genres: country, rock and roll, gospel, soul, and blues. The great thing about this album is that it has ranked as one of the greatest albums of all time! Having the greatest album of all time truly shows that they made an impact on modern popular
