Sid's Big Band Era News

Big Band was in its glory in the 1920's, 1930's and 1940's until the end of WWII. Then in the 1950's a new brand of music came out called Rock & Roll. Tommy Dorsey introduced a young man Elvis Presley who took the world by storm. Elvis became very popular and his music wooed the young girls. Elvis was known as the King of Rock & roll.
Presley, wearing a tight black leather jacket with upturned collar, black leather wristbands, and black leather pants, holds a microphone with a long cord. His hair, which looks black as well, falls across his forehead. In front of him is an empty microphone stand. Behind, beginning below stage level and rising up, audience members watch him. A young woman with long black hair in the front row gazes up ecstatically.   Elvis Presley
