Elvis Presley, a cult artist

He is a king and his kingdom is called “the rock’n’roll”. In just twenty years of career, Elvis Presley changed the history of music. Scandalous beginnings and eternal songs made him a myth. With its sexy hips, its suggestive postures and a wild female audience, the film which will be screened at Cannes does not show an exaggerated Elvis Presley. The artist was born in Mississippi and was rocked in black music, from gospel to blues. “He sings black music like a black. He moved and danced like one dances in black ballrooms, with very suggestive gestures.“, valued Belkacem Bahloulieditor-in-chief of the magazine RollingStone.

After his first broadcast in 1956, televisions were banned from filming Elvis below the belt. However, “the King” is 800 songs and legendary hits. “loving you” was Johnny Hallyday’s favorite song. On social networks, Elvis Presley even resurrected thanks to computer graphics.
