  to me rock n roll is almost more
  informed an attitude then a pure musical
  style;;
  
  and there was only ONE who had it ALL together in summer
 of
  1954 (the
  clothes,good looks,  the attitude, the moves, that NEW
  sound...a band
  sound  new so cool, streamlined..
  
  Elvis is man who started it..
