Chinese book announced as "Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 - August 16, 1977), a famous American singer, musician and film actor, is regarded as one of the most important cultural icons of the 20th century. His Chinese nickname is "Elvis King". "Elvis" is one of the most prestigious and influential musicians in the 20th century. He has achieved commercial success in many music genres, including pop music, blues and gospel music. He is the best-selling single music artist in history, with an estimated total global sales of more than 600 million albums. He has won three Grammy Awards, including the sixth Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at the age of 36, making him the youngest winner in the history of the award. Elvis' legendary experience of struggling from a poor boy to a generation of superstars, his magnetic voice and varied music, together with his unruly personality and unique stage image, have become a label of an era, widely influencing Elvis music listeners around the world and being remembered by the world. In this biography, the author describes the life trajectory of Elvis Presley's growth, struggle, fame, and fall, as well as the influence and memories of his relatives and friends. In the author's writing, Elvis Presley is not only a rare genius who became a pop star through hard work, but also an ordinary southern boy who was born in poverty, spoke softly, and had his own joys, sorrows, and anger. The author skillfully interweaves the two and outlines a flesh-and-blood, comprehensive and three-dimensional image of Elvis Presley for us." Source: Amazon. |
