Title: |
1958 - Elvis Presley: the king of Rock and Roll, arriving in Germany |
Rights-Managed, Editorial |
United States, Germany, 01-10-1958
Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8th, 1935 – August 16th, 1977), also known as The King of Rock and Roll, or as just simply The King, was an American singer who had an immeasurable effect on world culture. He started his career under the name the Hillbilly Cat and was soon nicknamed Elvis the Pelvis because of his sexually suggestive performance style. On January 20th, 1958, Presley received a draft notice for a 2-year duty with the United States Army. He received no special treatment and served in Germany as an ordinary soldier and was honorably discharged on March 5th, 1960. Many have since wondered why an only child – by then the sole support of his parents and grandmother – was drafted during peacetime, since his services were clearly not critical for the defense of his country. It has long been suspected that Elvis" draft notice was either politically instigated to shunt his "dangerous, race-mixing" influence, or encouraged by his manager in order to keep the increasingly world-wise Southern lad under his thumb.
