  • The Tin Pan Alley Pop Era (1885-Mid 1950'S)

    The Tin Pan Alley Pop Era (1885-Mid 1950'S)

    OVERVIEW: The Foundation of Rock And Roll During the Great Migration more than 100,000 African-American laborers moved from the agricultural South to the urban North bringing with them their music and memories. Also, during the 1920’s the phonograph and the rise of commercial radio began to spread Hillbilly music and the Blues. This gave rise to an appreciating of American vernacular music, both white and black. Ultimately, the homogenizing effect of blending several regional musical styles and cultural practices gave birth to 1950’s rock and roll.

  • “That's All Right” on Memphis Radio, July 1954

    “That's All Right” on Memphis Radio, July 1954

    “That’s All Right” on Memphis Radio, July 1954 Source: Historic-Memphis.com Dewey Phillips was a longtime disc jockey at WHBQ radio in Memphis, Tennessee. Phillips was known for playing music recorded by both black and white and artists. Shortly after Elvis Presley made his first recording, a single whose A-side was the Rhythm and Blues song “That’s All Right,” Phillips became the first disc jockey in the country to play the song on the radio, in July 1954. The account below is taken from the book The Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley, by Peter Guralnick. The response was instantaneous… He played the record seven times in a row, eleven times, seven times over the course of the rest of the program. In retrospect it doesn’t really matter; it seemed as if all of Memphis was listening as Dewey kept up his nonstop patter, egging his radio audience on, encouraging them to join him in the discovery of a new voice… For Gladys [Presley, Elvis’ mother] the biggest shock was “hearing them say his name over the radio just before they put on that record…” She didn’t have time to think about it for long anyway, because almost immediately the phone rang. It was Dewey for Elvis… He said, “Mrs. Presley, you just get that cotton-picking son of yours down here to the station. I played that record of his, and them birdbrain phones haven’t stopped ringing since.”… Within minutes, Elvis was at the station. “I was scared to death,” Elvis said.
  • Introducing Elvis Presley

    Introducing Elvis Presley

    Chapter 1 Introducing Elvis Presley In This Chapter ▶ Outlining Elvis’s place in American history ▶ Summarizing Elvis’s life ▶ Tracking Elvis’s popularity from beginning to end n the one hand, Elvis Presley needs no introduction, because his name Oand face are recognized around the world as the ultimate celebrity. Imitators re-create his act; late-night comedians joke about him; cable chan- nels rerun his movies; and merchandisers exploit his image on everything from T-shirts to lamps. On the other hand, the reasons for his fame have become lost in the trappings of celebrity, especially for younger generations born after his death on August 16, 1977. For the original fans, who have remained loyal for over 50 years, Elvis earned his reputation as the King of Rock ’n’ Roll; for others, discovering why he deserved his fame and a place in American cultural history may be a revelation. In this chapter, I introduce you to Elvis Presley through the high points of his life and career, including his post-death popularity. This chapter sets up an extensive exploration of Elvis Presley — the cultural icon — that details the events of his life, explains the significance of his music, and contemplates his meaning to American pop culture. COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL Identifying a Cultural Icon Almost everyone knows that Elvis Presley was a famous singer, but many people don’t fully understand what he contributed to popular music to earn his widespread fame. Elvis combined different types of music to form a style called rockabilly, which became one of the key sounds in rock ’n’ roll.

    Memphis, the Musical" Is Loosely Based on Dewey Phillips' Life and Career

    CURRICULUM GUIDE TA / TEACHING ARTIST’S TIPS A Guide to Using This Guide The following is a brief list of to-do’s and suggestions to help you get the most out of the Memphis the Musical guide and foster a fun and successful workshop. • The study guide is deliberately over-packed with material. Ideally, you should try to cover as much material as you can. But use your judgment with regard to time. You don’t have to cover everything listed in a particular lesson. If need be, shorten some steps, skip others. • In general, make the “discussion” section of your lesson as succinct as possible. Seven (7) minutes tops should be plenty of time to generate enough conversation to move smoothly into the next part of your lesson. The discussion portion of the lesson is there to spark ideas and possible insights, not dominate the workshop day. • Please use the “Inspire Change” Teacher Information form on pg. 1 to pre-plan with the classroom teacher for your visit. • In addition to filling out your Teacher Information form, be sure to discuss with your classroom teacher in advance what sort of lesson they’d like to do. ELA? Social Studies? Theater? A 15-minute phone conversation should suffice. What would they like to be the focus of your lesson? What kinds of activities work best with their particular class? Do their students work well in groups? Pairs? Or individually? Getting this information beforehand will help immensely with your planning. • Also, please discuss in advance with your classroom teacher a possible culminating project.
