The King of Rock n' Roll landed on the pop culture consciousness like an atomic explosion in 1955. Swiveling hips and sneering lips sending shockwaves of a sexual revolution that would engulf the youth of America in a rockabilly backbeat and play itself out in the backseat. Preachers condemned it, while radio stations couldn't get enough of it. Today, Elvis is a phenomenon unequaled in pop culture. The Elvis saga began with humble beginnings with his birth in Tupelo, Mississippi in 1935 and ended with his 1977 death in Memphis, Tennessee from a drug overdose. It began at Sun Studio's in Memphis and the road took him to Las Vegas and around the world forging a legacy of pop culture revolution. That spirit is alive and well today at Elvis Fest in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Ypsilanti? You heard me, Ypsilanti!
