The King: Before there was Lebron, there was Elvis

ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Radio
Freshly Squeezed with Colin McEnroe at Watkinson School in Hartford, January 30, 2019 (from left to right): Steve Metcalf, Jim Chapdelaine, Latanya Farrell, some guy in a leather jacket.

Elvis left two legacies. Musically, he pulled several American musical traditions out of the shadows, braided them together, and made them mainstream. Personally, he created a far darker template for the way a musical celebrity could be devoured by the very fame he avidly sought.

Recorded live in front of an audience — long before the pandemic — as part of at Watkinson School, an hour about the artist who defined the birth of rock and roll and was the genre’s first superstar.

GUESTS:

  • Jim Chapdelaine: Guitar and vocals
  • Latanya Farrell: Vocals
  • Steve Metcalf: Piano and vocals
