About the Book

Cuando un cantante logra tener después de muerto un museo de su obra en la ciudad donde se crió, al que acuden miles de turistas al año, docenas de clubs de fans diseminados por todo el mundo, bares y restaurantes que llevan con orgullo su nombre y sus discos se siguen vendiendo por millones, es una clara señal de que se le puede considerar una leyenda. En el mundo de la canción hay cantantes que han vendido millones de discos cuando estaban en vida, pero que apenas si ya son un recuerdo nostálgico en sus envejecidos admiradores y poco más que una anécdota por las nuevas generaciones. Carlos Gardel en Argentina, Jorge Negrete en Méjico o Maurice Chevalier en Francia, son algunos de los ejemplos míticos cuya obra musical se sigue teniendo en cuenta en todo el mundo y que aún no han tenido un digno sucesor.Elvis Presley tuvo en vida numerosos imitadores y también otros compañeros de profesión que lograban ventas de discos millonarias, como es el caso de Paul Anka y Frank Sinatra, pero el tiempo será testigo de la huella que dejarán cuando su muerte acontezca. Puede que también logren permanecer años en el recuerdo de los buenos aficionados, tener incluso un museo, o pasar al baúl de los recuerdos como unos extraordinarios cantantes que tuvieron gran fama en vida.Con Elvis Presley no hay incógnitas que despejar, puesto que ya tiene un puesto en la historia de la música moderna. Sus canciones siguen siendo motivo de admiración en las nuevas generaciones y sus discos siguen ocupando el número uno en ventas sin que exista hasta el momento otro cantante que le pueda hacer sombra. Michael Jackson o Madonna, marcaron un estilo y son ya un mito viviente, pero nadie sabe qué quedará de ellos cuando desaparezcan.En 1956, muerto ya el ídolo del cine James Dean y cuando se estaba preparando el estreno de "Gigante," la película que le consagraría de una manera definitiva, se escucha por primera vez el nombre de Elvis Presley y la prensa le dedica ya unas pocas líneas. Paralelamente, el público es informado del aumento de la delincuencia juvenil mediante bandas organizadas, al mismo tiempo que culpa en parte a James Dean y Marlon Brando de los cambios tan grandes que la juventud está teniendo. Pues justo en esos días aparece un cantante de veintiún años, cuya presencia en los escenarios genera grandes histerias. Intérprete de un estilo de música al que denominan Rock and Roll, se le considera al principio un estilo decadente, aunque ligado de alguna manera al jazz.Primero en la ciudad de Tupelo y después en Memphis, Elvis pasa su infancia en un ambiente musical dominado por el Godspel-song, las Baladas del sur, el Folk Country, el Blues y la música que se canta en la rivera del río Mississipi, tanto por negros como por blancos.Esta es la historia del más grande mito de la canción moderna mundial.
