Elvis Presley Changes America and America's Music

Elvis was the most revolutionary artist of all time. He took the black music of blues and jazz and put his own twist on it, creating rock and roll. Being a white teen, it was very odd to go into different black clubs, let alone sing black music.
His music really affected white teenage girls. For some reason, it made them go completely insane, even cry when they saw him. He taught teens that it is ok to shake your hips or dance sexually or go against the social norms in any way. That is what he taught and what rock and roll taught over the years.

Elvis was a great man because he broke down the racial barrier between whites and blacks. But all those screaming girls were so annoying, I don't know how he did it. He was truly A MAN! Long live the King!
