George Smith
Elvis Presley was the most important and influential artist of the twentieth century. His multi-racial and genre-defying music inspired a generation and played a part in the ongoing struggle for civil rights.
Long accepted as the greatest hit-maker and singles artist in popular music, this channel invites the listener to reconsider Elvis' work as an album artist by re-presenting his LPs in a revised and more logical fashion, accompanied by simple mood-setting videos.
Music is always best appreciated when heard in context: the "sleeve notes" that accompany the projects attempt to place each album in its relevant time, that the recordings of this great musician may be better understood and enjoyed.
