🎼23 March 1956. The revolution started here. Elvis Presley releases his first and eponymous album which goes straight up to #1 in the Billboard sales! It was the first time ever a Rock'n'Roll album peaked the USA charts. 🤟🎸🔝
Rock'n'Roll as a music genre was already around before that, thanks to artists such as #LittleRichard, #ChuckBerry, #MuddyWaters, #GeneVincent, #BillHaley, #BuddyHolly and many more... but problably the new born "industry" needed and was eagerly waiting for a white, unspoiled, handsome and heterosexual guy to take rock'n'roll out of its niche and make it explode 💣💥 🔥
Elvis was everything perfect and met all the expectations for that moment, the boy all girls wanted, the son-in-law all mothers wanted, plus he was a really nice person and a natural born showman. He soon became The King of Rock'n Roll and the first international Rockstar!
I post a video of him on The Ed Sullivan Show some months later: USA (and the world) had never witnessed such a delirium in a live national TV program, we can hardly hear the music (Hound Dog from his first album) under the screams 😳📣🗣
