And I Love You So

Elvis Presley was one of the iconic singer in the 20th century. He conquered the music world with his handsome face and charming voice.  He demonstrated a remarkable ability to assimilate many other vocal styles and genres, including pop, blues and gospel.   Scholar Lindsay Waters emphasizes that "his(Elvis)  voice had an emotional range from tender whispers to sighs down to shouts, grunts, grumbles and sheer gruffness that could move the listener from calmness and surrender. "

In this description by Greil Marcus:"Elvis has emerged as a great artist, a great rocker, a great purveyor of schlock, a great heart throb, a great bore, a great symbol of potency, a great ham, a great nice person, and, yes, a great American."
