Elvis Presley connection to Justin Timberlake.
"they were both so cool, is it their Memphis roots? that southern charm? the dance moves?" You've probably never realized just how alike these two Memphians are. They're fairly particular about snacks, have iconic heads of hair, don't mind being labeled a "mama's boy" and so much more, from fashion to inspirations and acting careers. something must be in that Memphis water. Justin Timberlake is the only one who can be compared to Elvis Presley.
impact
Elvis started a new genre of music, some people say. His music was a fusion of country, pop, and blues music (Elvis Presley's Musical Influence on America). As his fame progressed he started to sing rock n' rock music. People loved Elvis's music but they also loved to watch him preform. He danced, he sang, and played guitar when he preformed (Elvis Presley). Plus, he was one of the first singers to reach out to both the white and black communties. When he was a teenager he would go and see African American musicians play (Elvis Presley). His music was relatable to all people. He though that everyone should be treated equal like the song "Walk a Mile in my Shoes". Beacuse Elvis was so famous, this would influence that country tramendously and getting everyone on board with the idea that just because your skin color is differnt, that doesn't mean you don't matter."
