Known worldwide by just his one name, Elvis
died 25 years ago this Friday at the age of 42. In his death, he became
even larger than life, frozen forever in time. "There have been a lot of
tough guys. There have been pretenders. And there have been contenders. But
there is only one king," said rocker Bruce Springsteen.
Reinventing
Pop Culture : It is almost impossible to remember a world before Presley, a
time when hearing the lyrics "You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, cryin' all
the time," wouldn't summon a picture of Presley to mind.
His was a
sound that was so big and so new, that it would not just reinvent music -
it would reinvent pop culture in a way that was almost painfully thrilling.
Presley stood the 1950s on end, and half a century later, he's still "The
King."
Women screamed, cried and fainted at Presley shows, while
his hair, his wiggling hips and his 18 No. 1 hits seemed to be everywhere.
Presley basically defined stardom for a generation. But he would die too
young - and nearly bankrupt. Fans who made pilgrimages to Graceland, his
home in Memphis, Tenn., mourned en masse after his death - and still do.
Every August, they light candles again - in memory of the first
American icon of rock 'n' roll.
Scoops remembers "the king" by
high-lighting some of his movie-work.
