Personality assessment

Elvis Presley's music transcends racial and cultural boundaries, and combines blues, country, blues, bluegrass and gospel music, forming a unique style with distinctive personality, passionate sexual energy and rebellious feeling, which gave birth to the era of rock music. Elvis Presley can express any style of music in the form of rock, whether it is Mario Lanza-style romantic love songs, rough and unrestrained blues, or Jackie Wilson-style R&; B the earliest prototype of rock music appeared in his music. Although no one emphasized the significance of rock music in his time, his music form and stage expression already had the feeling of rock music (comprehensive comments by Netease, Sina, Tencent and singer Wang Feng).

Elvis Presley transformed rock music on the level of gender and race, and let people know its sexiness. As a white singer, he boldly covered black blues songs, which was unimaginable in the United States in the 1950s. First of all, his works gradually eliminated the strict black-and-white boundary, breaking the ice for the abolition of racial discrimination in the United States in the future. In addition, Elvis Presley also made rock music the language of international pop culture (comprehensive comments from Time magazine and Rolling Stone magazine).

Elvis Presley's self-talent, handsome appearance, iconic hip twisting action and excellent stage performance made him a rock pioneer. But the meaning of "Elvis Presley" does not stop there. He represents the spirit of breaking through the American rut era. Some parents and religious leaders think that he has a bad influence on young people, but the younger generation has found the commonality of rebellious spirit in him. Since Elvis Presley, rock music with distinct ideology and strong realistic criticism has spread rapidly. His live singing style of twisting his waist and swinging his hips really destroyed the traditional civilization of the United States. His voice, song processing and stage explosiveness fully reflect the strength of early rock. Because of his personal charm, rock music has become a national sport in the United States (comprehensive China Times and Bund Pictorial).

Elvis Presley has influenced the changes of thoughts and musical styles of several generations, and his music has directly influenced the development of rock music all over the world, affecting R&; B the change and development of music, he opened the way for American pop music and set the coordinates. His music is spread all over the world, which makes him one of the iconic figures in America. Before his death, his music shocked Americans and fans all over the world for more than 20 years. In the decades after his death, his music still shines the most dazzling light and still exudes the strongest attraction (Sina Review).
