Lecturer Gary Wenstrup will present on Elvis Presley, his music, personality and life. R

Elvis revolutionized popular music when he exploded onto the scene in 1956 with his unique blend of rhythm & blues and country music. His “energetic” performances, distinctive voice, and charismatic persona made him a worldwide cultural icon.  It was a wild ride with huge musical successes, underwhelming films, an astonishing comeback, and a sad downward spiral to his death at age 42.  Elvis’ impact was seismic and he forever remains: The "King of Rock and Roll."
