    Alex Steinweiss's Accomplishments

    In one of his most iconic albums, ‘Elvis Presley’ (1956) which was really the moment when Presley fully emerged onto the big stage; the artwork fully shows the intentions that Rock’n’Roll had – a black and white shot of Presley embodying unbridled energy of the youth that fits the image at a slightly off-centred angle, juxtaposing the seated drummer ‘DJ Fontana’, giving the impression Presley couldn’t be confined on the vinyl and that he is literally throwing himself at the buyer; an act of genius by Colonel Tom Parker of RCA, who hired out the Robertson & Fresh commercial studio to shoot the cover. The prominent green and red text stands out in front of the black and white image, suggesting that this is the moment Presley really arrives into the music industry.

The impact this cover had is undisputed; The Clash used the exact composition and scenario in their 1979 album ‘London Calling’. Following Presley in the same year I wish to jump to the genre of ‘Jazz’ –…

    How Did Elvis Presley's Impact On American Culture

    Elvis Presley, the “King of Rock and Roll” evoked change. He played a huge role in the movement ignited through the sound of rock and roll. Being credited as the founder of rock and roll, Elvis Presley with his new style of music and his abnormal demeanor will take the world by surprise. From his on stage provocative moves to his off stage “habits”, Elvis will bring something new to our society that we have never seen before. Elvis Presley never choreographed a dance, never wrote lyrics for a song, never created one piece of clothing, yet he is known as the “King of Rock and Roll.” Elvis’s music, soul and personality took the world by shock and changed American culture and society forever. He was the complete package; his charming smile, stunning face, angelic voice and unique dancing accumulated to one of the most discernible personalities in history. His impact has become inevitably known as the greatest of any pop culture icon and possibly the greatest cultural catalyst in history.…
