      Synopsis

      Put on your blue suede shoes and get ready for the latest title in the Who Was...? series! The King could not have come from humbler origins: Born in Tupelo, Mississippi, during the Depression, he grew up with the blues music of the rural South, the gospel music of local churches, and the country-western classics. But he forged a sound all his own—and a look that was all his own, too. With curled lip, swiveling hips, and greased pompadour, Elvis changed popular music forever, ushering in the age of rock and roll. Geoff Edgers's fascinating biography of this icon of American pop culture includes blackand- white illustrations on nearly every spread.

      Biography

      Geoff Edgers, a reporter at The Boston Globe and author of Who Were The Beatles?, lives in Arlington, Massachusetts. John O'Brien lives in Delaran, New Jersey. Nancy Harrison lives in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

      March 26, 2008: The King of rock n' roll has a book for kids and gives cool facts about him. Elvis Presley's music is fun to dance to when you are a kid like me.

      March 03, 2008: *My favorite part in this book was when Elvis, because I like to sing his song. I liked the part of the book when he said that his friends and him had a squirt gun fight in a hotel ,while he was in the Army.
