Invited to the 11 p.m. set of Franceinfo, Jean-Pierre Pasqualini, journalist and program director for Melody TV, returned to what shaped the legend Elvis Presley.
“He had luck, talent and hard work”, explains Jean-Pierre Pasqualini, journalist and program director for Melody TV. Elvis Presley was 20 years old in 1955 when Rock’n’roll arrived. He was the youngest of the rockers. “The King”, coming from a very modest background, was also the example of success from nothing. The rock pioneer symbolized the American dream.
Elvis Presley marked his time with his sensual, energetic and unique voice. He was also an incredible performer who could capture strong lyrics. He contributed to the new era of rock even before the arrival of the Beatles and the “British invasion”. The interpreter of “Love Me Tender” is considered one of the first planetary stars of the song.
