More DescriptionThere is something unique in the American culture about the phenomenon of Elvis Presley.Years after his death, the sales of his recordings and memorabilia far exceed that ofany other popular recording artist, or movie star; much more than the Beatles or theRolling Stones. Any piece of new information about him is eagerly consumed by his fans.Hence, there is something special about the dynamic phenomenon of Elvis Presley whichtranscends the experience of other popular recording artists and movie stars.What that is, is that Elvis Presley conditioned the minds of perceptionally appearingwhite, Southern, lowland people, especially young, white Southern people, to peacefullyaccept integration.
