King of Rock ‘n’ Roll: Elvis Presley

Our podcast, aired on Monday, December 2nd, 2024, was a tribute to the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll: Elvis Presley.

This special episode explores Elvis Presley’s extraordinary life and timeless music, from his groundbreaking hits in the 1950s during the birth of rock and roll to his iconic TV appearances and movie career, the legendary ’68 Comeback Special, and his electrifying live performances of the 1970s.

In January 2025, Elvis would have turned 90, making this a perfect moment to celebrate his enduring legacy. Elvis Presley was a trailblazer in the music industry, blending gospel, blues, and country to create a sound revolutionizing rock ‘n’ roll.

Early in his career, the media often criticized him for his provocative style, labeling him as controversial and rebellious. However, the public embraced his charisma, electrifying performances, and undeniable talent, propelling him to superstardom.

In 1958, Elvis enlisted in the U.S. Army at the height of his career, demonstrating his patriotism and endearing him further to fans. Following his military service, he transitioned to a successful film career, starring in over 30 movies, which showcased his versatility as both a musician and an entertainer.
