Elvis Presley
Elvis Aaron Presley
(January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977), also known mononymously as Elvis, was an American singer and actor.
Regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, he is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll" or simply "the King".
Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee with his family when he was 13 years old.
His music career began there in 1954, recording at Sun Records with producer Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African-American music to a wider audience.
Presley, on rhythm acoustic guitar, and accompanied by lead guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, was a pioneer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country music and rhythm and blues.
In 1955, drummer D. J. Fontana joined to complete the lineup of Presley's classic quartet and RCA Victor acquired his contract in a deal arranged by Colonel Tom Parker, who would manage him for more than two decades.
Presley's first RCA single, "Heartbreak Hotel", was released in January 1956 and became a number-one hit in the United States.
With a series of successful network television appearances and chart-topping records, he became the leading figure of the newly popular sound of rock and roll.
His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines during a transformative era in race relations, made him enormously popular—and controversial.
In November 1956, Presley made his film debut in "Love Me Tender".
Drafted into military service in 1958, Presley relaunched his recording career two years later with some of his most commercially successful work.
He held few concerts however, and guided by Parker, proceeded to devote much of the 1960s to making Hollywood films and soundtrack albums, most of them critically derided.
In 1968, following a seven-year break from live performances, he returned to the stage in the acclaimed television comeback special "Elvis", which led to an extended Las Vegas concert residency and a string of highly profitable tours.
In 1973, Presley gave the first concert by a solo artist to be broadcast around the world, "Aloha from Hawaii".
Years of prescription drug abuse severely compromised his health, and he died suddenly in 1977 at his Graceland estate at the age of 42.
Presley is the best-selling solo artist in the history of recorded music.
He was commercially successful in many genres, including pop, country, blues, and gospel.
He won three competitive Grammys, received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at age 36, and has been inducted into multiple music halls of fame.
Poor Boy Blues
" Poor Boy Blues", or" Poor Boy, Long Ways From Home", is a traditional blues song of unknown origin.
As with most traditional blues songs, there is great variation in the melody and lyrical content as performed by different artists.
However, there is often a core verse containing some variation of the line" I'm a poor boy a long way from home."
The song is often associated with a slide guitar accompaniment.
Gus Cannon recalled hearing a slide guitarist named Alec or Alex Lee in Coahoma County around 1900, playing a version of the song.
Cannon himself, under the pseudonym Banjo Joe, later recorded the song.
The song is often cited as one of the oldest in the blues genre.
Bo Weavil Jackson( as" Sam Butler") recorded the song in Chicago in 1926 for Vocalion Records.
Lisa Mona Lisa
" Lisa Mona Lisa" was the Austrian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1988, performed in German by Wilfried.
The song was performed twelfth on the night, following Germany's Maxi& Chris Garden with" Lied für einen Freund" and preceding Denmark's Kirsten& Søren with" Ka' du se hva' jeg sa'?".
At the close of voting, it had received no points, placing it last out of a field of 21.
The song is a ballad in which the singer likens the object of his affection to the" Mona Lisa", a painting by Leonardo da Vinci, in that she is very mysterious but nonetheless entrancing.
The song was recorded in German, French and English.
Due to the song's poor performance, the English version was not released.
It was succeeded as Austrian representative at the 1989 Contest by Thomas Forstner singing" Nur ein Lied".
