The ultimate site about the king of the analogue age

 

Hello & A Warm Welcome!

My name is Dirk Welz. I'm a Presley fan from Germany and I'd like to welcome you to www.elvis-presley.website.

But why does one bother to create a page about an artist, who died half a century ago? Well, he was the first global superstar, the first to be promoted in true multi-media style and nothing less than the blueprint of all following generations of popstars. Colonel Tom Parker, his congenial manager and mastermind of his career, showed the world how to create and promote a star. He also practically invented the merchandising business in the field of popular music. Elvis Presley is the sales king of the analogue age and still is regarded the most successful artist in the music industry so far. But even the cleverest promotion wizzard could not perform that stunt without an artist of real substance. Elvis Aron Presley had it all: The look, the voice, the feeling for music and the ability to shine on recordings, on stage, on tv and on the silver screen.

I am just starting out, so a lot of stuff has to be added. So stay tuned, there will be regular updates in the future. I also like to apologize for my English. It's not my native language, so there will be a lot of linguistic errors. But hey, you can also find them in the books of FTD and KJ Consulting and on my page you'll get them for free. Right now you can find the king's classic SUN/RCA/CAMDEN catalogue with reviews of all the singles, eps and longplayers. The concert section contains reviews of the tours and stints in Vegas and Stateline and of course all the movies and television appearances are described and reviewed, too. In the near future I will add a biography, more reviews of concert recordings (now there's just one from each tour) and more. So please come back every now and then and check, what has been added.

 But now to the stuff, that's already there. Just tap on the icons and read about the music, the concerts, the movies and everything else.
